... by Jesus in order to pass along the message of who is God and what is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus, through his sayings and parables showed that the kingdom was being revealed in his own life and work. He preached his message of the coming of the kingdom through memorable stories, which in his day could and did relate to things of everyday life. Though most of Jesus' followers didn't recognize the kingdom till after his death it was still brought to them by the Holy Spirit with a full understanding of his word and actions. Yet it was evidently difficult for them to understand before his death due to the previous id ...

... beings relationships with the Divine. Hopkins and Yeats use a variety of method to express these views and in many ways differ in their attempts to capture this special relationship, but essentially they are trying to explain the same thing: the interconnection between the Divine and humans. In many aspect human and Divine relationships are very obscure, since it is often difficult to remain faithful when God does not appear to be apparent in every day life. Hopkins realizes this, but compels the reader to take a closer look at the splendor of God which surrounds us every day, “The world is charged with ...

... is just a ring to men, signifies beauty and elegance that is found to be attractive and exquisite to women. Women will seek special occassions to attend, just to show off the ring, while men are content to sit back and take all the credit for finding this wonderful treasure. As the woman displays her new diamond to her circle of friends, there is an obvious change in the atmosphere as a sense of competition between the men begins. The men will of course will have to rise to the challenge of providing a symbol of affection for their significant others that equals or surpasses the value of their friend's diamon ...

... any other citizen would have come to expect. Now that the laws didn't suit him, was it fit for him to ignore them? Crito, in vain, tries to dissuade him. Socrates compares the laws of the state to a father/mentor figure: The state says that all of the laws and statutes have protected him and raised him. His parents were married by the law, and the same saw to it that he was educated. Now the state says "Is it alright for you, who thinks so much of virtue, to destroy us?" Socrates is wise to see that he would be contradicting not only himself, but he would betray the examples he was trying to set to his followers ...

... as the right way of life and concurrently decides to live his own life in that manner. “I remember reading that a certain Spanish knight . . . having broken his sword in battle, tore a great bough or limb from an oak”(69). Since Don Quixote had read about this particular knight, he justifies it to himself that he too could also tear a limb from a tree and uses it as a makeshift lance. When Sancho asks if Don Quixote had any pain, he replies, “I do not complain of the pain…because a knight errant is not allowed to complain of any wounds”(69-70). Again, Don Quixote is going by a set ...

... he was dealing with a different type of geometry where distance was not relevant. The next step in freeing mathematics from being a subject about measurement was also due to Euler. In 1750 he wrote a letter to Christian Goldbach which gives Euler's famous formula for a polyhedron, v - e + f = 2, where v is the number of vertices of the polyhedron, e is the number of edges and f is the number of faces. It is interesting to realize that this, really rather simple, formula seems to have been missed by Archimedes and Descartes although both wrote extensively on polyhedra. The reason must be that to everyone before Eule ...

... to managers, whilst reinforcing the managerial monopoly of decision-making, motivation and control'. Hales (1994). Taylor (1856-1915) has been referred to as the father of Scientific Management. He believed that management, not labour, was the cause of and potential solution to problems in the industry. Taylor concluded that workers systematically ‘ soldiered' because they believed that faster work would put them out of a job and because hourly or daily wages destroyed individual incentive. Taylor believed that in order to discourage, and indeed halt, this ‘soldiering' a ‘ mental revolution' was requi ...

... in size to today's plastic payment card, except it has an actual silicon computer chip embedded in it. A small gold or silver contact connected to the chip inside the card is usually visible on the surface. This allows it to be programmed with a much more sophisticated range of information than say magnetic strip cards, which can only hold basic numerical data such as an account number. Smart Card Forum (1996). Types of Smart Card There are also different types of smart cards, as outlined by the Estonian Institute of Cybernetics (1995) i) An intelligent smart card contains a central processing unit - a CPU ...

... situated to promote interaction around the courtyard area. There are about 250 in Denmark. In Adelaide, Australia there is a Halifax eco-city project. It uses barefoot architecture which means people are trained in basic architecture but don’t know a lot. This accommodated a population of 800 people in 350-400 units. It was designed by the people who were going to live there. They had biological treatment and recycling of water and sewage. No thru-traffic. They were close to public transit. They had greenery on their balconies and roofs. Solar panels for power and they used non-toxic building material ...

... didn’t want to eat. When I had a child, I waited for the right time to have one. I didn’t want to rush into motherhood responsibility until I had everything in order to support my child. My husband had to find a job, and so did I. We had a house, a car, and jobs to support my child; we were ready. When my child was born, I chose to go to the United States of America, so that my child can have a better life. In Brazil, the education is not challenging, and not recognized in other parts of the world as a higher education. For him to have a better education, a better standard of living, and for ...
