.... is the most valuable aspect our lives and that wealth is insignificant compared to the rewards of knowledge. There is an abudance of positions available to Canadians that cannot be completed by computers (at least, for the time being) and therefore, our standard of living and quality of life will not be depleted. Technology will either be the blessing or curse for society in the future, and depending on the position of our government, will we be able to make sure that our standard of living does not decrease. The deficit poses a severe problem in a country littered will such vast natural resources and a high education level in its populace. The presence of inflation i ....

.... to achieve. In school, first-borns tend to work harder for grades than later-borns do. They often grow to be more competitive and have higher educational and career goals. Of the first twenty-three astronauts sent into outer space, twenty-one were first-borns or only children. Some characteristics of first-borns are: goal setting, high achievers, perfectionist, responsible, organized, rule keepers, determined, detail orientated. Only children are considered as a specialized type of first-borns. They are generally characterized much the same as first-borns who have siblings. Some famous first-borns include Mikhail Gorbachev (Russian leader), Jimmy Carter (president), Albe ....

.... enough), the bioelectric toilet (which used heat and circulating air to clean waste), incinerating toilet (these reduced waste to ash), biological toilets (which used enzymes to dissolve waste), and finally the earth closet (a pit like well that sealed the waste in soil below). All of these methods created were all inefficient in some way. Whether is was the smell, the inability to get rid of the waste, the slowness, or the tremendous energy put into it for every bow- movement. The basic mechanism was very simple--it was made of a float, a metal arm and a siphonic action to empty the reservoir of water. In the beginning of this method was not popula ....

.... apparent that however useful the tests may be for standardizing a group’s intellectual ability, they are not a good indicator of intelligence. To issue a truly standardized test, the testing environment should be the same for everyone involved. If anything has been learned from the psychology of perception, it is clear that a person’s environment has a great deal to do with their cognitive abilities. Is the light flickering? Is the paint on the walls an unsettling shade? Is the ....

.... assumptions. That is to say, they decide what they are studying or what should be studied. They decide what the subject matter consists of and the meanings behind it. They must consider the social reality and the nature of being, in relation to the subject matter. Having satisfied this researchers then make epistemological assumptions surrounding the subject matter. They must decide on the type of evidence to be collected, considering which evidence will deliver optimum validity. They must decide which stance to take during research, objective or neutral, considering which would be possible or even favourable. They must then think about how this can be best achieved. ....

.... preconceived notions to taint the results. Descartes, however, believed that the senses were unreliable and that science based solely on information gained from the senses was uncertain. He was concerned with finding a point of certainty on which to base scientific thought. Eventually he settled on mathematics as a basis for science, because he believed mathematics and geometry to be based on some inherent truths. He believed that it was through mathematics that we were able to make sense of our world, and that the ability to think mathematically was an innate ability of all human beings. This theory becomes important in Descartes' Meditations because he is forced to exp ....

.... First of all, space research is not an immediate priority and secondly, by putting the same amount of money into our humanity needs it would make a better life on Earth. To begin with the first affirmation, research in space is not a priority compare to research on Earth. Our people is our future and it is not tomorrow that humanity will live on Mars. Man has so many unsolved problems, some of them regarding the very basic necessities, like food clothing and education. He should try to solve the problems on Earth rather than the ones outside of it. With all these needs one day man will be able to be more competitive and will have more energy to dedicate him self for tho ....

.... goes up, your grip on the wheel tightens, your eyes are strained, and your thoughts are spinning out of control. You would feel a lot worst than before you get into the car. But when you make the right decision to become a less aggressive driver, you start using your time in the car to relax. Driving is not like on the racetrack, plus you don’t own the road either. On the other hand try to see your driving not only as a way of getting somewhere, but as a chance to breathe and to reflect. Rather than tensing your muscles, see if you can relax them instead. I even have a few records that are specifically suited toward muscular relaxation. Sometimes I pop one and listen. By ....
