- 14691: Kingdom Of God
- ... life and work. He preached his message of the coming of the kingdom through memorable stories, which in his day could and did relate to things of everyday life. Though most of Jesus' followers didn't recognize the kingdom till after his death it was still brought to them by the Holy Spirit with a full understanding of his word and actions. Yet it was evidently difficult for them to understand ... live, love and if we so chose sin. And it is those times when we chose to sin that pushes the splendor of Gods' kingdom out of our reach, justifying the "Not yet." In today's times people live the values of the Kingdom in there own ways. Some spend there hours in a church worshipping and paying. Other just try to live a life free of sins that can be ... good from bad and right from wrong. In my life I rely on what I now and feel. To hurt others feels wrong so I try not to. To steal feels wrong so I don't. Though this sounds easy enough, maintaining such a simple set of guidelines is a most difficult thing to do. Everyday so many temptations arise, so many chance to fall into greed and hatred yet ...
- 14692: Slow Ride
- ... the sleek, black Acura parked in front of the house. And I politely pretended to absorb their warnings of hazards on the road as I ran out the front door and hopped into the driver's seat! It was a deal that I made with my parents before "that if I ever was to get a stupid ticket, that I couldn’t have privileges to the car again”. There was no stopping me now, I had finally got the keys to my freedom and I was going to enjoy it for however long it would last. I ... care and worry free. We were headed for the first party of the school year, and rather quickly at that. I was so preoccupied with the road and talking to my passengers that I didn't notice the blue and red lights flashing in my rear view mirror. I kept driving until I casually glanced to my left to check my blind spot and spotted a police car containing a ...
- 14693: Vitamins
- ... minute quantities in natural foods; numerous types have been distinguished, and designated by the letters of the alphabet. Each and every living animal needs vitamins to grow and be healthy. Since the human body can t produce vitamins naturally or normally produce the amounts needed, food provides the body with them. There are different vitamins found in different foods. These vitamins give vital nutrients to an animal. In 1906, the British ... soluble vitamins are also absorbed by the intestine, and the lymph system carries the vitamins to the various parts of the body. These vitamins are responsible for maintaining the structure of the cell membranes. Don t think that you can have as many vitamins as you want. If too many vitamins are taken into the body, the vitamin levels in the body become toxic. Since the body can't produce the essential amounts of vitamins, there must be a certain requirement of intake of vitamins and vitamin supplements. These requirements are known as the recommended daily allowance, or RDA. If these requirements aren' ...
- 14694: The Intelligence Of Odysseus
- ... evil spell, Odysseus (with a little help from Hermes) manipulated the witch Circe in her palace. Circe and her potion had turned the men of Odysseus into various sorts of animals. Odysseus traveled to Circe’s palace to find them and when he was almost there, Hermes came to him from the sky and told him to eat a poisonous plant that would repel the transforming effects of Circe’s potion. Giving thanks to Hermes and eating the plant, Odysseus came to Circe’s palace and drank her potion to no effect. Then he threatened to kill her if she didn’t return his men to their original state. Circe agreed to restore the men if Odysseus would ...
- 14695: Blood and Excerise
- ... into the blood stream to form glucose. Lactate is Good As coach and athlete you must learn how to teach the body to handle lactic acid. It is imperative, if you want successes in today's highly competitive field of athletics to train your muscles, body and mind to accomplish gains in performance even in the presence of lactic acid. Coaches and athletes should design training programs with this being a ... volume of blood which can be pumped per beat. Incidentally, this is also part of why aerobic athletes have very decreased resting heart rates. Actually, their Q values are the same as sedentary people, it's just that since their heart can pump more blood in a given beat, the heart doesn't have to beat as often at rest. Well, another adaptation to endurance exercise is an increase in aerobic enzymes in the muscles and an increase in mitochondria density and number. This serves to increase ...
- 14696: Free Will Versus Determinism
- ... antecedents that are independent of the human will. Determinism states that humans have no free will to choose what they wish. That seems real extreme and harsh. Even though this is what determinism is, doesn't mean that the determinists are trying to steal your freedom. It's only what they believe because of religion and cause and effect. In religion, many people believe in the existence of a god supports determinism. The basis of god is that he is all-knowing and all- powerful. If free will is allowed, there would be decisions and actions in which God could not know due to the person's choice. This would limit God's omnipotence, which is unacceptable to some. The other argument for determinism is causation, or causes and effects. This argument depends on relationships that should happen with the same ...
- 14697: Definition of the Oedipus Complex
- ... or more affection for their mothers after receiving subliminal messages. (no change) Hi: Boys in the experimental group receiving subliminal messages will show more aggression toward their father and demonstrate more affection for their mother's. The control group will not demonstrate a changed behavior (Change in behavior) OPERATIONAL HYPOTHESIS: Independent Variable: Experimental group receiving subliminal messages, either aggressive, affectionate or neutral. Dependent Variable: The change in behavior observed from before ... and affection towards the mothers. Observations were made on behaviors demonstrated and recorded into categories. These categories are : Positive affection toward the mother Negative behavior toward the father Positive = hugs, compliments, gazing & I love you's Negative = swearing, hitting, rolling of eyes & glaring On the Saturday and Sunday the boys were brought into the laboratory (laboratory research in order to control the confines) where they were shown either aggressive & affectionate or ... are so painful. It looks like subliminal messages cause the Oedipal Complex to come out from the unconscious by bringing it to the sub-conscious where the boys know what they are feeling but can't understand why they are having these feelings. Because we could not control all the variables we could not make a positive identity that the subliminal messages actually cause the Oedipal Complex. All though we ...
- 14698: Two Sides of The Brain
- ... as epilepsy and migranes, replace certain damaged brain functions and even learn to "thin" into the future. Even more startling is evidence coming to light that we have become a left-brain culture. Your brain's right and left side have distinctly different ways of looking at the world. Your two hemispheres are as different from each other as, oh, Micheal Wilson and Shirley Maclean. The left brain controls the right side of the body (this is reversed in about half of the 15 percent of the population that is left-handed) and, in essence, is logical analytical, judgemental and verbal. It's interested in the bottom line, in being efficent. The right brain controls the left side of the body and leans more to the creative, the intuitive. It is concerned more with the visual and emotional ... the dominant left brain talking to itself. Our culture- particularly our school system with its emphasis on the three Rs (decidedly left-brain territory) - effectively represses the intuitive and artistic right brain. If you don't believe it, see how far you get at the office with the right brain activity of daydreaming. As you read, your left-side is sensibly making connections and analysing the meaning of the words, ...
- 14699: Muhammad
- Both Peters and Dashti make some drastic theoretical presuppositions and assumptions in their writings. First of all, and most importantly, they assume most of the stories that supposedly took place during Muhammad's life as true. This seems very important to me. The stories of events that involved Muhammad are mostly gathered through word of mouth or a "chain of transmission" and through Muhammad's own writings. Though I believe most of the stories about the life of Muhammad to be factual, I also know that word of mouth is not the most reliable source in this day and age, and the truth could be just as easily warped in the time of Muhammad. The authors also make the assumption that people's way of thinking in the time of Muhammad were similar to ours. What I mean by that is that stories which we heard about Muhammad were the stories that seemed important to the people ...
- 14700: Genetic Variations
- ... the cause for genetic variations from one generation of a species to the next. Without mutations, life on this planet would not be possible. The ability to change is needed for life to flourish. Hawaii's state bird, the nene is in danger of extinction. Once 50,000 nenes inhabited the islands. Now there are less than 200. The sugar cane fields in Hawaii became the breeding grounds for rats. Farmers ... is still little increase in the wild population. The inbreeding between birds is not allowing for any genetic diversity to occur between them. It is also causing captive-bred birds to lay eggs that don't produce chicks. Scientists collect blood samples from nenes in the area, searching for a descendant of the wild nenes. The blood is then sent to a DNA lab for fingerprinting. It shows that the captive breeding is actually harming the bird population. As expected, today's nenes have far less genetic variation than their descendants. A mutation in the 1 of the 500 letters of the hemoglobin gene has proved to be very helpful to those in Africa who carry ...
