...Comparing Vampires and Werewolves Star Koning Com/170 January 12th, 2012 Karen DeVries Comparing Vampires and Werewolves Vampires and werewolves are ravenous demons that haunt our dreams, and dwell in the dark murky shadows of the night. They like to creep around in the dark, and will attack when least expected. These creatures of the night can live within the human population. They could be your neighbor, your local bank teller, your pastor, your local store clerk, or even your best friend, and in most cases they are never even noticed. That is until one is breathing down the neck of an unsuspecting victim. Vampires are not born, they are human first. They have to be bitten by a vampire who drains their blood, and then they must feed on the blood of a vampire. They then must go through the transition of changing from human to night-creature, and will be in pain for a few days until they become a full blooded vampire. (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_are_vampires_born). A werewolf on the other hand, must be bitten or scratched by another werewolf. It has also been said that werewolves have been known to interbreed with humans and wolves to increase their population. When a werewolf child is born, it is born into the same form as its mother. If the mother is human at the time of the birth, the child will also be born in a human form. If the mother is a werewolf at the time of the birth, the child will be born in a wolf form.

...When Brooks uses the term "silver bullet," he is referring to a miracle fix to be able to create better software more efficiently, while keeping reliability and security. The push for discovering a "silver bullet" has been amplified by the speed that hardware has been advancing. It has been easier to advance hardware over software because hardware is a physical object, while software is abstract. This has is an advantage because new materials can been found that are smaller, faster, and easier to produce. However since software is abstract, it is up to the team developing the software to overcome essence difficulties and accidental difficulties of technology. Essence difficulties are challenges that are just a part of computer science that are unavoidable. Complexity is a good example of this because as we create new features, the developers have to add to previous software because the old software has features that are still being used. Accidental difficulties are challenges that have been created by computer scientists that are slowing down the process. Computer language is an example of this because old languages took a long time to develop with, but as new languages have been created, the developing process has sped up. These two types of difficulties are different due because of what creates them. Essence difficulties are mostly characteristics of software, while accidental difficulties are introduced by computer scientists. When developing ultra-large-scale systems...

...up on weapons and supplies. Staying in one spot is very dangerous because werewolf can be watching and learn the group's routine. Therefore the group must to stay on the run. Staying on the run requires that the group must stock up on food and weapons so it be protect from potential threats. The food is the most important thing because it keeps the group alive but it is also a weapon. Food can be use to give supplement to the group, however it can also be use to trap the werewolf. Make sure to stock on non perishable type of foods. Make sure to always bring many weapons, preferably weapons that have silver. Research has shown that werewolf have a weakness for silver. If there is anyone in the group that knows how to make silver bullets, have them make some and make sure to shoot the werewolf directly in the heart. However if there is no way to make a silver bullet, a silver sword would do just as good. Lastly, the most effective way to survive a werewolf attack is all about location. The best way to make sure everyone lives is finding the best places to hide out. Location is everything, the group would not want to camp out in the woods because of various things. One reason is that the woods is a big place and it is easy to for someone to get separated from the group. Being separated from the group in the wilderness territory, because it is a known fact that werewolves best hunting ground are woods or wood like environment. Another reason the woods would not be an efficient...

...water then sink/toilet Pro-cannabis arguments DEA and FDA criticise the use of herbs as medicine, they say that plants contain a variable mix of compounds and cannot provide a precisely defined drug effect. According to the pharma industry, medicines are synthetic, single-ingredient “silver bullets” that focus upon solitary metabolic pathways in our physiological systems. Herbalists, however – applaud the poly-pharmacy of herbal remedies and claim two advantages over single-ingredient drugs: The multiple mechanisms may work to improve therapeutic activity in a cumulative or synergistic manner. Herbs may also contain compounds that mitigate the side effects of their predominant active ingredients. Thus, cannabis has been characterised as a “synergistic shotgun” in contrast with synthetic, single-ingredient “silver bullets.” The many ingredients modulate our health via several metabolic pathways, gently nudging our system towards homeostasis. This kind of “multitasking” makes cannabis impossible to evaluate, according to the pharma industry. But multitasking avoids the unbalanced distortion of solitary metabolic pathways as produced by synthetic, single-ingredient silver bullets such as Virox. Cannabis list of ingredients: THC – Tetrahydrocannabiol is a “new” molecule that evolved within the past 34 million years. Botanists speculate that it evolved as a toxin to deter herbivores, but this evolutionary strategy was diverted when THC became attractive to humans...

Young 1116 Shoal Creek Road | Burnsville | NC 28714 Property Location: 4075 Hwy 19E | Burnsville T:828.208.0006 1|P a g e COUNTER OFFER TO SUMMARY/OFFER TO PURCHASE REAL PROPERTY Submitted to the State of North Carolina Department of Transportation OVERVIEW Retail gasoline businesses, such this gas station and convenience store, are single-purpose economic enterprises. Because of their specialty of design, they cannot be readily converted to other types of businesses without a significant loss in value. Gas station convenience stores are special-built properties designed to make money in only one way, and they are not easily adapted to other uses. These businesses derive a significant part of their gross sales, about 50 percent, from the sale of motor fuels (National Association of Convenience Stores, 2006). The Silver Bullet recorded at one time 77% of gross sales from the sale of gasoline. This business also sold propane and kerosene (2000 UST). This site has (1) 8,000, (2) 6,000, and (1) 2000 gallon warranted (40 yrs) USTs for fuel (installed by Southern Tank & Pump, NC). stations, and canopies, which are situated on-site but separate from the building. Design features create and significantly influence the property value. For example, the fuel service is so specially-designed that if it becomes no longer profitable...

...Gun Control Attitude Survey PSY/475 February 4, 2013 Deborah Ford Purpose of Survey * The topic of gun control laws has been a major topic in the beginning of 2013. On December 14th 2012, 28 people died in a mass shooting at an elementary school in Newton, Connecticut (Technology Wire, 2012). The shooting brought a gun control debate among the United States citizens and the government. The government is focusing on stricter gun laws and possibly limiting the number of bullets in magazines. This survey is to determine the general opinion on gun control laws in the Ajax Company IT department. The employees verbally discussed the topic in the office and different opinions stated about the debate. This survey focuses on four questions that eight employees were anonymously administered. * Design issues in Creating the Survey * The IT department employees at Ajax wanted to remain anonymous during the survey. The group discussed several options on how they could answer survey questions. E-mail was a way that the Ajax employees could remain anonymous with their coworkers, but not to the administer of the survey. Paper and pencil was an idea, however, the employees still did not feel comfortable they would remain anonymous. One employee mentioned that her handwriting was very unique and identifiable, and did not feel comfortable with this method. Because of the small size of the office and the survey administrator included as one of the eight employees, a strictly anonymous...

...both of the main characters are on a journey for the betterment of their lives, and both of these novels portray similar themes. While one book has a seemingly miniscule cast and the other a large ensemble of roving buccaneers, they still manage to be comparable, and through their similarities a better experience is enjoyed for fans of the books. Both main characters of their respective books ultimately aim to survive by dealing with harsh environments. We understand that The Man from The Road has to deal with a barren, apocalyptic wasteland, and with this situation he uses his knowledge & wits to survive this harsh environment, for example, he carves makeshift bullets out of wood in order to scare off attackers: “While the boy slept he sat on the bunk and by the light of the lantern he whittled fake bullets from a tree branch with his knife, fitting them carefully into the empty bores of the cylinder and then whittling again. He shaped the ends with the knife and sanded them smooth with salt and he stained them with soot until they were the color of lead. When he had all five of them done he fitted them to the bores and snapped the cylinder shut and turned the gun and looked at it. Even this close the gun looked as if it were loaded…” (Page 222 paragraph 1). The Man does this in order to scare off any...

"Put that table and chairs up as a barricade, and the rest of you help tend to the injured” he commanded biting the end of his cigarette. The men shut up immediately and got to work. "captain here these are the only silver holy bullets we have left." The lieutenant chief said as he handed the magazine over to the french captain.

...Here on Herbonia, life is very much like that on earth in the sense of building structures. The residents of Herbonia build everything out of wood. They have built many parks throughout the community. The parks have solar panels over them to shade the children from the long 18 hour days of sunlight. All roads are paved in stone from the mountains of Killinher. All buildings and structures have a roof made up of solar panels. We set up a solar powered Subway system throughout the whole land. The Subway will take you from town to town. The residents call the Subway system “The Silver Bullet.” Most residents have a Hydrogen car that runs on water. There is even a solar powered bicycle on Herbonia. The semi trucks on Herbonia run on a clean source of energy, it is vegetable oil. With the fast growth of the vegetation, we have more than enough vegetable oil to run trucks for 2 whole years and still have food left over. For water we drill past 35 feet to get rid of the sulfer smell. Water is really pure here. Sewer is the same as that on Earth, below ground and runs to a water treatment facility located in each town. All power is connected with aluminum wire. Farming is designated to flat, plain, prairies. The soil is rich in nutrients and nitrogen, perfect for growing vegetables. The pro’s are having earth to look at as a reference to see what systems actually work and the con’s are not using that information on the planning of...

...a dram of spirts of ammonia, and began searching for the bullet with his little finger and a long silver probe. (Smith pg.117). Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone tried unsuccessfully to find the bullet with an induction-balance electrical device which he had designed. (Fredel, Frank and Hugh sidey par.12). Within an hour of his surgery, Garfield was moved to the white house in a horse drawn ambulance. From his symptoms it appeared that he was hemorrhaging internally and could not survive the night, but the president rallied, and the next morning Dr.Bliss appointed two army surgeons and three civilian doctors to help look after him. (Smith pg.117). On July 23 Garfield developed a chill and his temperature shot up to 104 degrees. (Smith pg.117). On August 18 a swelling in the parotid gland began discharging pus through his mouth and ear. (Smith pg.117). The bulldog bullet had smashed ribs and vertebra before nicking a large artery and stopping behind the pancreas. An aneurism formed on the artery, halting the bleeding, it kept him alive until it bust on September 19, when he dies after an eleven week struggle against chills, fever, vomiting, increasing weakness and his mystification “he must have been crazy” Garfield had said of Guiteau.(McKinley pg.49). In Garfield’s day doctors would probe gunshots wounds in the belief that if they could remove the bullet everything would be fine. Today we know a hot bullet is self-sterilizing, Garfield’s real problem was the ill-advised...

...KEY POINTS LEADING TO THE SPANISH EMPIRE’S DECLINE AND FALL IN THE SEVENTEETH CENTURY CHRISTINE NILSON 24 December 2011 1 KEY POINTS LEADING TO THE SPANISH EMPIRE’S DECLINE AND FALL IN THE SEVENTEETH CENTURY The Spanish Empire of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries has a story of irresponsible, selfish and foolish policies. The major problems revolved around their failure to build their internal economy, the ever increasing unsolved debts, and dependence on colonial silver. These problems were aggravated by other world events that they could not control. The empire best period was called Spain’s Golden Age. This occurred approximately between 1516 and 16591, although historians frequently list various time spans. Spain’s monarchs in this period claimed God had chosen them to rule over all decisions. Generally they ignored the country’s constitution that could limit their power. Other governing bodies existed, but the king had the final say.2 The empire controlled lands in areas of north and south central Europe from the Netherlands to the islands at the tip of Italy. They controlled colonies in many parts of America including Peru, Central America, various islands and Mexico.3 Eventually, they took over Portugal and its African and Asian colonies along with their trade routes.2 One kings just before the decline, Charles V, had the title of Holy Roman Emperor.4 Spain had little internal means to produce income. The general population took a light view of seeking...

...Explication and Argumentation to a Specific Audience It’s accurately described as the world’s online marketplace, connecting buyers and sellers both near and far. The vast majority of people are casual, intermittent users. But maybe you are ready to take that next step and make selling on eBay a full-time vocation. Nearly anyone can sign up and begin selling immediately, but only those who maintain the status of PowerSeller are able to financially maximize their selling experience. EBay makes a portion of their profits by extracting a fee from each attempted and actual sale. This fee is deducted from the sellers account. The fees are structured at a lower percentage for those who generate the most profit for eBay; those are the PowerSellers. A PowerSeller typically saves 5% over members of the general selling class. Other benefits exist beyond reduced fees, including access to group health insurance and representation in customer disputes. Even United Parcel Service in a cooperative agreement with eBay will offer shipping discounts to PowerSellers. With benefits such as these available, it’s obvious that the PowerSeller program is an attempt by eBay to attract recruits. The decision point for interested individuals as with any decision often comes down to the overall opportunity cost. Those can be weighed by viewing eBay’s PowerSeller and Top Rated Seller Policy. The website itself is accessible on the internet or smartphone as eBay.com. The PowerSeller requirement...
