.... second world war, from pilots who say they say metal like objects floating in the sky. These fighter pilots called them "foo fighters". And in 1947 in Europe, there were sightings of silent "ghost rockets". None of these speculations were ever entirely explained. The UFO phenomenon entered the publics eye on June 24, 1947, at 2:44am, when private pilot Kenneth Arnold reported sighting nine circular objects in the skies over the state of Washington. He (Kenneth) described these objects like "saucers skipping over water". There the term Flying Saucer was born. [III] UFO Waves: Since 1947 there have been UFO sightings in almost every country.

.... tons, and a volume of 2.9 billion cubic feet. In total acreage, it is equal to 16,000 baseball diamonds [Miller 526]. By the year 2005, when the landfill is projected to close, its elevation will reach 505 feet above sea level, making it the highest point along the Eastern Seaboard, Florida to Maine. At that height, the mound will constitute a hazard to air traffic at Newark airport [Rathje 3-4]. Fresh Kills (Kills is from the Dutch word for creek) was originally a tidal marsh. In 1948, New York City planner Robert Moses developed a highly praised project to deposit municipal garbage in the swamp until the level of the land was above sea level. A study of the area pred ....

.... its creation in the middle ages with Newton. The main use of calculus is its application in advanced physics. Mathematics is everywhere because that is where we put them, everywhere. We, humans, represent everything with numbers, which therefore means that we impose mathematics on to the universe. Starting at childhood, education begins with the forced mind track of comparison. Parents teach their offspring to be fair or equal, and that they should share to make it fair. This is the beginning of the mathematical state of mind which stays with the child for the rest of his/her life, the summing up of what they themselves have and comparing it to what the other person has, so t ....

.... not the first time that I had bathed a person during the placement, however, the difference this time was that while I was washing ‘John’, he would display elf-injurious behaviour by slapping his face and then repeating the phrase ‘stop slapping face’. I chose this incident from my clinical diary as I feel that the that ‘John’ exhibited is an interesting and difficult Nursing problem and one, which affected my ability to care for him. Rather than focussing on the self-injury specifically related to ‘John’s’ case, I will examine the possible ways to manage , especially in persons with learning disabilities. To manage ....

As the white variety grew in popularity, colored cotton nearly isappeared, kept alive only by the hand-spinners. That is, until Sally Fox found a forgotten bag of brown cotton seeds in 1982. Pursuing her lifetime dream and her love for the environment, Sally Fox began to investigate the possibilities of creating commercially viable long-fibered colored cotton. Realizing the potential importance of colored cotton as an alternative to using solvent-based dyes, she was determined to succeed in producing a marketable fashion raw material. The final ....

.... your education? 4) In five years, where do you see yourself? 5) How do you feel you have grown developmentally? 6) Do you feel that your gender has impacted your college experience? 7) What do you feel is the difference between underclassmen and upperclassmen? First, the developmental level of the freshmen student when applying Marcia's theory within the psychosocial theory is extremely prominent in her case. She communicated that she relied on her parents for direction when choosing a major in school. Her father had attended a university and her mother had not. The father strongly stated that she should be chemistry major because of the security of the career field, ....

.... connected; if one thing is known then potentially everything can be derived from that one truth. The fundamental ideas that Socrates seeks to uncover are called forms. This concept is illustrated when Socrates questions Meno on what virtue is. Meno answer with several examples of what is virtuous. This of course is not what Socrates is asking; he is asking Meno what all virtuous acts share in common. For Socrates this relationship between all virtuous acts is what virtue fundamentally is. A person can see virtuous acts but cannot see virtue. Because of this, the idea of virtue must exist somewhere independent of the perceivable world. This is true with all forms o ....

.... to laugh at a situation or problem provides a feeling of superiority and power. Humor and laughter can foster a positive and hopeful attitude. Humans are less likely to have feelings of depression and helplessness if we are able to laugh at what is troubling us.

Laughter provides an opportunity for the release of those uncomfortable emotions, which, if oppressed, may create changes that are harmful. Caregivers, as well as patients are in need of the therapeutic effects of humor and laughter. Healthcare providers may experience feelings of failure when their efforts are i ....
