... this is also the stage in which the minor concept known as 'war' first began... well it isn't minor... One day someone gets tired of running after his lunch, and decides to have some fruit, drops the seeds on the ground, comes back next year, and look and behold, a small fruit tree has appeared. He then tries it with other seeds, and gets similar results. Agriculture is born. 3. Agriculture Now, people are really getting smart and organized. They live in towns and cities. The overall quality of life increases and the time frame is growing shorter, history-wise. New forms of technology are developed to aid in crop yield, and this sparks the next stage. ...

... because of heavy taxation of soap as a luxury item, making it available nearly exclusively to the wealthy. In Europe, in the sixteen hundreds, soapmakers’ guilds began to appear, and soaping as a trade became a closely guarded, and much sought after secret. In 1622, King James I, granted a monopoly to a soapmaker for a staggering $100,000 a year! It was not until Queen Victoria repealed the soap tax in 1853 that soap became economically available to the average person, and cleanliness took a turn, once again, towards popularity. In Colonial America, during that period, the women made soap for their families. Commercial production of soap did not materialize unti ...

... a world. Therefore god is not omnipotent. (iii) If god is omnipotent, then everything is possible and nothing is impossible. If this is true however, things which are necessary (things which cannot possibly not exist) are no longer so. This is impossible - therefore god cannot be omnipotent. Aquinas begins his rebuttals by defining what is encompassed by the characteristic of divine omnipotence. He explains that god is able to all things which are "possible absolutely", which he defines as all things which can be logically expressed without the predicate being in conflict with the subject - i.e. god is capable of all things which do not involve a contrad ...

... learning. The child will be enticed to look forward to the next day of school. Several techniques can be applied to learning that allow the student to thirst for more knowledge, including the teachers themselves, computers, and the use of television. The first, and most important element, is the teacher's ability. The early stage of life is when a person's mind may be more readily shaped and the teacher plays a vital role in developing this young person's mind. It is important for the teacher to not only put out the information, but also to incorporate it into the child's way of thinking, allowing the child to think beyond what he has been taught. The Los ...

... psychedelic drugs. Although in the modern world such drugs have developed an almost taboo status, it is impossible to ignore the tales of enlightenment reported by ancient cultures and even those rebels that use such drugs illegally today. While the American government has been one of the main influences on today’s society’s negative attitudes towards psychedelic drugs, they have granted some scientist and psychologists permission to experiment with such agents, and despite the controversy and varying results there seem to be many positive uses of psychedelic agents. These positive uses and the research that has been directed toward these uses will be r ...

... living thing, an animal. However, the human race is unlike any other animal on the face of this planet. The human race is more brutal then other animals. The human race is the only animal that will set out to commit genocide or slaughter its own kind by amounts I can not begin to fathom. The human race has done this many times through it’s past and shows no signs of altering. Nazi Germany almost eliminated the entire Jewish population from Europe, and killed millions before they could be stopped. Communist Russia, under the leadership of Stalin, conducted many tests and experiments on humans that lead to the deaths of millions more for no purpose other than to ...

... the other throughout Ginnungagap. The southern part was lit by the sparks and glowing embers, which flew out of the fiery realm. Where the heat from the south met the coolness in the north the ice was thawed and it began to drip and by the might that sent the heat, life appeared in the drops of the running fluid and this fluid formed into the likeness of a man. He was given the name Ymir. As the frost continued to thaw another form was created. This form became a cow called Audhumbla. From her teats flowed four rivers of milk and it was upon this that Ymir was fed. While he fed, Ymir slept, and while he slept a male and female frost giant grew from his armpits and ...

... ozone-depleting chemicals. Cooling system — The greatest cause of summer breakdowns is overheating. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro. The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled as recommended. The level, condition and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. (A 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water usually is recommended.) Do-it-yourselfers, wait until the engine has cooled before removing the radiator cap. Do not dump old antifreeze/coolant into streams or sewers. Oil — Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual. Many repair shops will accept your used oil; n ...
