“Why is the night sky dark?”(Hienrich) For thousands of years this question, also known as Olber’s paradox, has been asked. Astronomers are constantly growing closer to the answer but still no one has yet found a finite answer. As scientists relentlessly collect data hoping to find some clue as to the answer to this riddle we seem to realize that the answer may be because of something that is too mind blowing for us to comprehend. Several explanations have been considered over the years. But as of
changing, completely contradicting what the bible states in which we are not the center, every second space gets larger moving in an outward direction from supposedly the location of the big bang. There are basically two views of the origin of the universe either with the narrative of god creating the world in the book of genesis or that our universe was small and dense until some sort of rapid expansion accrued creating all that is known. These views show that there are two complete different ideas on
CHAPTER 1 SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM : GENERAL STAGES BOOSTERS PROPOSED MISSIONS WHAT IS THE SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM? The Space Launch System (SLS) is NASA’s new heavy launch vehicle. It is to replace the retired Space Shuttle. Its initial Block I version, without an upper stage, is to lift a payload of 70 metric tons to orbit. The final Block II version is to have a payload lift capability of at least 130 metric tons to low earth orbit, 12 metric tons above that of Saturn V, which would make the SLS the
everyone to live up to America’s standards we would require four to five earths. In our country of the United States and abroad politicians tend to focus on global warming and fossil fuels rather than the main issues such as those caused by population expansion. As this is a preventable issue we could possibly slow down climate change through addressing these affairs rather than allowing this excess immigration that is fed through providing encouragement for countries to deport their excess humans rather
According to the study, if just 10% of the water that is currently imported from the State Water Project were shifted to recycled water, California would save approximately 80 million kWh of energy annually and reduce carbon emissions by nearly 42 000 metric tons per
analyzing the performance of active portfolio managers often lump them together in one single undifferentiated class, there are important distinctions between managers and strategies. Recently, two Yale School of Management professors introduced a new metric for assessing active management: Active Share. Active Share is a measure designed to assess how active a fund manager is and how he/she is achieving alpha. Understanding Active Share To outperform relative to a fund’s benchmark, an active manager

temperature scale, based on its expansion property at different temperatures. When the thermometer is in thermal equilibrium with other objects, it indicates the degrees of objects’ temperatures. Temperature is measured against four temperature scales: Fahrenheit (F), Celsius (C), Kelvin (K), and Rankine (R) temperature scales, which names are based on the names of scientists who originated the temperature scales. The Fahrenheit scale, denoted by letter F, is a non-metric temperature scale, developed
to drive up sales and volume growth. Group retail sales for the period grew by 13.4%. Just like other retailers, Clicks has been aggressively investing in price and deterred passing on higher costs to consumers. Its selling price inflation – a key metric used by retailers to assess the price movements of their selected goods – was contained to 4.4% and expected to be between 4% and 5% for the year. Although inflation will accelerate, Clicks’ focus on beauty and skin care will likely make it defensive
become so focused on our own lives, the small minuscule things of our daily happenings that we forget this one truth. This one thing deep down we know we must face. We all exist here, together, on planet earth. We all are here on a small marble in space and we are changing it. We are pumping gas into the atmosphere resulting in extreme climate changes. Our oceans are turning acidic. The rainforests of the world are diminishing rapidly. The beautiful abundant creatures of our planet are dying off,

The basic vision Omidyar had when he founded what became eBay was to create a person to person trading community based on democratic market principles; these principles allowed for a free flow of information, communication
catastrophic events; such as, the KT dinosaur extinction, but none of these events are comparable to the +7.1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions that are being produced in the United States of America yearly.(Tonto.eia.doe) As Al Gore once stated in his book, Earth in the Balance, “the process filling the atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other pollutants – is a willful expansion of our dysfunctional civilization into vulnerable parts of the natural world” (234). These greenhouse gas emissions

“But what merit is to repeat the old tricks, and hum the old tune? If man has the ability to make us feel the fitness, the necessity, the beauty of common things, he is a poet of the highest type.” This quote by George Santayana cited in the Whitman Archive perfectly defines the American poet Walt Whitman. One could say this 19th century craftsman, Walt Whitman, was the perfect poet for this young nation. He constructed a poetry with a less formal structure, utilized language of the common man, celebrated

Riemann also introduced the Laurent series expansion for functions having poles and branch points.” His mapping theorem stated that “any simply connected domain of the the complex plane having at least two boundary points can be conformally mapped onto the unit disk.” This lead to the idea of conformal mapping and simple connectivity.

Oddly enough, Focus Features and Focus Features World Wide, which for the purposes of this analysis will be lumped together, remains one of the few art house/independent movie studios that is owned by one of the major six studios. Ironically, this distinction also lends Focus Features a distinct advantage. Typically, the independent film industry requires a studio to distribute/produce a certain number of projects in order to fund initial overhead or licensing costs. This puts a significant financial

Some of the disadvantages of the overlay technologies that are currently being used are complicated configuration and networking topology, difficult in expansion and maintenance, GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel’s inability to traverse NAT, IPsec’s inability to support dynamic routing [1]. Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN) is in general combination of GRE tunnels, IP Security Protocol
