.... Tessellation In Science Beside from being studied in math or geometrical studies, tessellations and tilling have been study with x-ray crystallography. X-ray crystallography is a science with the repeating arrangements of identical objects as found in nature, sound familiar? Of course! This is very similar to the definition of tessellation. Interestingly, the discoveries made with x-ray crystallography during the mid-20th century are similar to many of the discoveries the artist M. C. Escher made while designing for his tessellated artwork. Several other scientific studies have been found for tessellations. For an example, tiling rese .....

.... still not fully understood, but the funnels are always associated with violent motions in the atmosphere, including strong updrafts and the passage of fronts. They develop within low-pressure areas of high winds; the speed of the funnel winds themselves is often placed at more than 480 km/hr (more than 300 mph), although speeds of more than 800 km/hr (500 mph) have been estimated for extremely strong storms. Damage to property hit by a tornado results both from these winds and from the extremely reduced pressure in the center of the funnel, which causes structures to explode when they are not sufficiently ventilated to adjust rapidly to the .....

.... all people are good by nature or at least neutral. He believed that the encouraged development of self-actualization helps individuals to reach their full potential. Maslow stated that a healthy development is only possible if a society "offers all necessary raw materials and then gets out of the way and stands aside to let the … organism itself utter its wishes and demands and make its choices"(Ryckman pp. 435). If an environment is restrictive and minimizes personal choice the individual may develop in neurotic ways. In addition to this Maslow created what he called a hierarchy of human needs. These needs are called deficiency ( .....

.... to look at James Rachel's (in 'The Elements of Moral Philosophy', Ch.2) analysis of this argument, and secondly I would lie to give my assessment of the argument. Rachel's argues that this argument is not logical, as the conclusion does not follow from the factual premise. The premise makes an assertion about differences in moral beliefs. The conclusion makes an assertion about the nature of moral facts or truths. In general, he argues, one cannot assume anything about what is or is not true about the world, from premises about beliefs about the world. A culture may believe that the earth is flat, but believing so doesn't make it so (nor .....

.... of intelligence, thinking skill and imagination.”(LimiTv) A huge element of thinking is taking from what you already know and deciding how it applies in different situation. School makes you do this, but television does not. Michael and Sheila Cole, sociologist, say that “Children socialized to learn from television had lower than normal expectations about the amount of mental effort required to learn from written texts, and tended to read less and perform relatively poorly in school.”(Development of Children 24) Which means that it takes very little effort to follow a television show and kids are raised on televis .....

.... holiday, to buy a lot of presents to family and friends, and eat a lot of good food. Where is Jesus among all this? The time before Christmas is a very busy time, especially because all people have to buy gifts to each other. This is a rather new idea when we look at history, to give each other presents at Christmas. But it's nice. The question is if the gifts are taking over and dominating the whole celebration? The only thing children of today associate with Christmas is all the gifts. 50 years ago, children associated to go to church, have a good meal when coming home, maybe get a new knitted sweater, and sit by the Christmas tree listen .....

.... But operating system like Unix, and Linux are more known for their stability, and good performance. On the other hand, applications are smaller programs that fulfill a less important task. To satisfy the user’s demand, programs are written accordingly. For example, a lot of word processor users have the privilege of having programs like Word to help them. Other might like spread sheets, and use programs like Excel, or Lotus1-2-3. There are also database applications like Access, or programming compilers like Borland C++. All those application are very common for personal computers. This is why companies try to sell along with a c .....
