history into different time periods. One such time period was the Pennsylvanian time period. The Pennsylvanian time period is a subdivision of the Carboniferous period. The Pennsylvanian period saw the introduction of many different species that are still present today along with a very different climate and different geographical features than are present today. Before getting into some of the physical features of the Pennsylvanian period it’s important to know exactly when it occurred. There have
The St. Peter sandstone lies in an unconformity. It is 250 feet thick, it can be up to 500 feet thick and it fills erosional channels in the underlying strata. Buffalo Rock is an erosional remnant of Ordovician St. Peter Sandstone and overlying Pennsylvanian clastics. Sign for swift, turbulent, and deep water includes gravel bars and erosional features that are 180 feet above the current level of the river and massive cross bedded sand and gravel deposits along the river course. The shelf-edge includes
In terms of the many ethical issues that go along with the lottery, and how they are faced in marketing of product development and the advertising of the state lotteries; there are many responsibilities that go along with it. There are also the chances that different risks could arise, and ones that the buyers themselves should watch out for, and know. The whole process of the state lotteries is just and ethical trap, where they get half of the population to play, with the hopes that they will eventually
Drivers today are distracted by an infinite amount of sources. Along with traveling, people today have much to get done in a day and are prone to multitask at the wheel. The main offenders such as texting, eating, and fiddling with the radio take eyes off the road. However in addition to the most notable causes of diversion talking on the phone is a major distraction that often goes uncredited. Drivers take their eyes off the road to dial numbers and then proceed to have a conversation while driving
Distinctively diverse dialects are not necessarily a negative attribute of a community, but such distinguishing language does set a particular region or group of people apart from others. Differences in dialects include pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and the most easily recognizable from area to area: common expressions. Through a simple interview research project I hope to examine first hand how individuals’ speech patterns differentiate based on origin/regional differences as well as age/generational
Joseph Ridgeway Grundy I am from a small town called Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania. It is along the Delaware River, about 25 miles northeast of Philadelphia. Bristol Borough was founded in 1681. This is the states third oldest borough, that was once a busy river port with important shipbuilding activities (Cohen 438). It is predominately residential, with the exception of Mill Street, the community's traditional commercial street. It includes fine examples of many major styles and idioms, reflecting
his efforts on Philadelphia’s Radical Caucus of the 1770’s and 80’s and the lasting influences of the 1776 constitution it created within American politics as well as several nations around the world. Within his analysis and interpretation of Pennsylvanian politics during the American Revolution, Dr. Nash utilizes a pro-whiggish, radically sympathetic stance to assert the Radical Caucus’ remarkable ability to gain support from and bestow power upon the common working man, take political power from
Research Model According to Valenti, & Campbell, 2009, creating a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) could be a viable solution to the dilemma that this at-risk population faces in their daily lives.

000 species of plants and animals, with more than 2,100 being native (IConserve, 2007). It is critical to appreciate the sustainable use of these natural resources that influence our beautiful state’s economic health and quality of life of all Pennsylvanians. Yet many threats to our home’s biodiversity are present. One significant threat is invasive plant species that are eliminating native plant species. Invasive plants are plants which grow aggressively, spreading and displacing other plants

Nearly two decades after the American Revolution, the newly ratified Federal government is still dealing with serious financial burdens. The new Constitution requires the federal government to assume the national debt and power the power to levy taxes. As the first Secretary of the Treasury and iconic Federalist, Alexander Hamilton’s priority is to secure the financial footing of the United States. In 1791 Hamilton levied an excise tax on spirits and liquors distilled in the United States. Although

uncertainty. Trust and reliance sporadically gave way for mistrust and suspicion. It was certainly a world of no man’s life. In Our savage neighbors written by Peter Silver, violence and terror characterized the relationship between the Indians and the Pennsylvanian colonists. The conspectus of Silver’s book resides on the notion that fear was the prime motivator that led to the rebirth
Culture Diversity On the planet Earth there 7 continents, 196 countries, and countless different cultures. The culture I am most familiar with is the general culture of the United States, often known as the Western culture. However, in this country alone there are many different subcultures. The Amish cultures is one of those subcultures, and while it is very unique, it also includes a lot of essential moral values of most other cultures. It is unordinary in the United States according to its material
The original version of the Constitution is a result of a series of compromises made to achieve a document that would be voted by the majority of the newly emerged states. Slavery was a very sensitive issue, as it was widely common on the continent. It should be noted that the Declaration of Independence made it clear that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Although
The New England Colonies are best known as the destination for Puritan religious reformers which included a colder environment with different animals and crops grown that that of the Chesapeake Colonies.

It’s late at night and I am slaving away on my computer finding my perfect school. The search so far has been redundant. Another glance at the prospective colleges list and my heart skips a beat: University of Pennsylvania, I read. My mouth instantly goes dry. All the usual words come into my mind: it’s an Ivy, inaccessible, remote, impersonal, unachievable .Certainly not my type of college. Reluctantly, I log on to the website and I am in shock. Here before me is a world completely different from
1.0 INTRODUCTION Coleoptera is the largest group of insects in the world (Triplehorn & Johnson, 2005; Hill & Abang, 2010). The order Coleoptera is commonly used to describe the terrestrial habitats, mainly in the tropical forest (Erwin, 1982; Hammond, 1990; Stork, 1991; Chung, 2004). According to Hill & Abang (2010), 2, 000 species of beetles had been collected in Sarawak and most of them were from the families Cerambycidae and Chrysomelidae.

Prior to the 1790 Pennsylvania Constitution the only citizens of Pennsylvania that were aloud to vote were wealthy men. Wealthy men, not just wealthy white men, all men with a significant amount of money and land were permitted to vote. When poor citizens began to have the right to vote as well is when the shift from class based discrimination changed to racial discrimination. In the 1790 Pennsylvania Constitution Article three stated “In elections by the citizens, every freeman of the age of twenty-one
When a government violates the rights and fails to protect its citizens, it is the people’s right to instigate a revolution to revise the government as they see fit. Revolutions especially in the case of complete and utter corruption when leaders of the government are bought by coin and allow injustice to happen, it is the people who must respond and bring the wrongdoers to justice. When a government overreaches its authority and violates its citizen’s rights, the people must rise against tyranny
