... share a belief in a celestial Supreme Being. During a novice's initiation, he learns the myth of Daramulun, which means “Father," who is also called Biamban, or “Master.� Long ago, Daramulun dwelt on earth with his mother. The earth was barren and sterile. There were no human beings, only animals. Daramulun created the ancestors of the tribes and taught them how to live. He gave them the laws that are handed down from father to son, founded the initiation ceremonies and made the bull-roarer, the sound of which imitates his voice. It is Daramulun that gives the medicine men their powers. When a ...

... One of the first studies of tessellations (by mathematics), was by Johannes Kepler in 1619. But sadly, about two hundred years passed before new scientific studies about tessellation’s was made. 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 mi ...

... Japanese vocabulary. Until further Japanese study, did I find out that the word to "withdraw" money from the bank was the same as "taking something down," like from a shelf. These are the same words, but in Japanese it is the context that they are used is what is important. Not only does better Japanese save you the embarrassment of making a mistake, but having better in Japanese also helps natives feel less of a burden on them, than if you didn't speak good Japanese. In Japan as a missionary, I had the opportunity to visit a retirement home once a week. During our visit with the elderly, we also cleaned up. doing ...

... -- a constellation or meaningful pattern to the novel's many images of people sending, carrying, and receiving -- or distorting, or losing -- signals of varying import and value. This plot -- the plot of signals that are launched on perilous Odyssean journeys, and that reach home, if they do, only through devious paths -- parallels and augments the novel's more central journeys, its dangers encountered, and its successful returns. ULYSSES works rather neatly as a cybernetic allegory, in fact, not only in its represented action, but also in its history as a text. The book itself, that is, has reached us only by a dev ...

... immediate family. Timid and shy, he decided he had listened to his mother's continuous nagging for the last time. That weekend, he would do as she said and "just go" to see an audition for the community's production of the musical Oliver. He arrived on time, the hustle and bustle of signing in all very new to him. There was no way he would actually get up on stage and sing for that skinny man with the clear acrylic braces showing on his teeth who was seated at the piano. Yet, he had struck a deal with his mom to wait and observe, leaving at any time he felt he wanted to. Twenty minutes later, he watched hi ...

... overexploitation of natural resources will continue and poverty will rise in most of the world’s countries. Rapid population growth is a huge threat to the environment. We consume materials and energy from earth and then return heat and wastes to earth, but the environment can only handle so much waste before serious effects on humans are seen. As human numbers increase, deterioration of water quality and destruction of animal and plant communities increase too. The serious effects of population growth apply even on the protected locations of this planet. Rapid expansion of human numbers also causes overexploitat ...

... elements. Teaming Up with Customers What happens when suppliers and customer are disconnected? Consider design work, for example. Whether we speak of goods or services, time- and distance separation in the supplier-customer connection invites trouble. Question: “What’s your Job?� Question: “But isn’t your job to serve the customer?� In grocery stores, where the supplier-relationship is immediate, the operations manager system is hard pressed to maintain a customer focus. The customer is the next process, or where the work goes next. A buyer’s customer is the associate in the department to whom the p ...

... way he generalizes each person seems to be well put in his or her right categories. Some of the players that he mentioned in his essay I do know, and he seems to know their playing ability pretty good. Greenfield expresses how each player dedicates them selves to the game of basketball, by explaining how each player uses a certain skill on the way they run or on the way they shoot for the basket. The way Greenfield wrote about each person and the two different style of basketball was pretty general. One thing that was a little confusing to me was that Greenfield would go back and forth on what he was talking about. ...

... by a bottle of One. They had perfectly chiseled bodies that glistened in the light. Each was posing as to accentuate a specific part of their body. The females were scantily dressed, as well. A black satin cloth that was waving in the wind was the sole thing that covered the women. The lighting reflected off of each of their lips. The aura of the ad was very sexual and sensuous. An advertisement for the clothing store The Gap contained a highly attractive female. She had shoulder length hair blond hair and light blue eyes. She was sitting down with her legs crossed, dressed in a tight white shirt and a tight pa ...

... discovered that if barley become wet, germinates, and eventually dried, the resulting barley would be sweeter and would not be as perishable as the original state of the barley. There is not any first hand knowledge on how beer was discovered, but we can imagine the incident step by step. When the farmer discovered that his barley crop was wet, in order for him to salvage the crop, he probably spread it out to dry in the sun. Chances are that germination had already begun, and the grain had therefore malted and developed a much sweeter taste. The sweet result of what the farmer considered a disaster is now mo ...
