After this occurs, there are enough neutrons bouncing around in the material to create a chain reaction of fissions. In the fission reactions, collisions between neutrons and uranium or plutonium atoms cause the atoms to split into pairs of nuclear fragments, releasing energy and more neutrons. Once the reactions begin, the neutrons released by each reaction hit other atoms and create more fission reactions until all the fissile material is exhausted or scattered.

The easy comparison, of course, is to the auction block, although only one third of the bodies on stage tonight are black.1 Bodybuilding is a "sport of plastic form"2 judged entirely subjectively, aesthetically. There is no tape to burst through, no millisecond record to shatter. Even though this display is both celebratory and voluntary, for the black women on some level the stakes are the same as those placed on the bodies of the African women, our ancestors ....

The University of Tennessee at Knoxville should recognize the dynamic interaction of communities and cultures that comprise contemporary America, as well as the world.

. . . when He made the world He did not go away and leave it. By Him it was
created and in Him exists” (4.12). Nothing in this world exists apart from God.
Also, God is in control of everything in this world. “Everything takes its
