...the villages in Sierra Leone. On their mission trip they collected randomly selected data from 100 households around the village, pertaining to the village’s well water supply. My friend’s mission trip participants included an aspiring woman who planned to major in biology, so she was put in charge of analyzing the water samples. My friend’s missionary group spent several weeks digging wells around the village that produced clean water, but they weren’t sure that the villagers were going to drink the water. At my friend’s request and because I had recently taken a math class, along with planning my own mission trip, I was asked to analyze their data to ensure the quality of the villager’s water that was from wells, and this is the results of my analyzation. In analyzing the data on the use of the mean or median as a better measure of central tendency, the data itself reveals that there are variables or outliners on the 2nd and 3rd columns of the data. These outliners have skewed the data to where the statistical data doesn’t represent the true mean value of the data that is presented. If this view tries to give way to the true meaning of the mean, then that would give rise to the disproportionate number increase on one side that would represent a very real uptick in the numbers that are being skewed. That is what the numbers seem to be doing as it relates to the 2nd and 3rd columns of the data, as they progressively jump upward “However, as the data becomes skewed the mean loses...

Northern states do not have the same water supply issues that the southwestern states have, but that does not mean they do not exist. Water is a precious resource that is vital for an organism to survive and creates an habitable environment compared to other planets. However, though earth possesses water there isn’t enough to fulfill the needs of everyone. A large percentage of water on earth is salt water and cannot be used the same way as fresh water. In the southwest region of America there are 30 million people...

...BIBL323 | Signs and Miracles | The Eight Signs and Miracles performed by Jesus Christ | | Sherell Andrews | 2/17/2013 | The eight signs and miracles Jesus performed and how each reveals his deity. | In the gospel of John there are eight signs and miracles that Jesus Christ performed; these signs and wonders are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God. The first miracle stated in John was Jesus turning water into wine. He and his disciples arrived at a wedding celebration that was in progress. Mary, the mother of Jesus, came to him and told Him they ran out of wine; she knew he would find a way of getting more wine.[1] Jesus responded by saying his hour had not come yet. His mother had enough faith in Jesus and instructed the servants at the wedding to do what he ask them to do, He ask them to fill the water pots with water.[2] He miraculously changed the water into wine. This miracle is said to bring out new beginnings in the ministry of Christ. Many Scholars parallel Jesus turning water in to wine to his death and resurrection. You could explain it as a full circle in Christ ministry. John shows “Changing the water of Judaism into the wine of Christianity, the water of sins and being unsaved into the wine of eternal life in Christ and to be saved” [3] This miracle points to the deity of Christ in and the fullness of eternal life in Christ power over creation. The next miracles in the gospel of John are the healing of the...

Other researchers also discovered that dreams are our brains’ attempt to make sense of the meaningless stimuli. But regardless of which theory they agree with, all dream specialists conclude that all people dream. No matter what age a person is, it has been proven that every person dreams. In Bless me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya the main character, Tony, has many dreams which offer...

...are eight recorded sign miracles that Jesus Christ performed. This paper will briefly describe each miracle and how it reveals the deity of Jesus Christ. Turning of Water into Wine The first miracle Jesus performed was changing water into wine. He and His disciples arrived at a wedding celebration that was already in progress. Mary, the mother of Jesus, came to Him and told Him they had run out of wine, presumably because she knew that He was capable of doing something about the dilemma.[1] Jesus responded by telling her that His hour had not yet come. While scholars disagree on what Jesus meant by this statement, it is obvious that Mary, as a woman of faith, understood enough that she instructed the servants at the wedding to do whatever Jesus asked them to do.[2] Jesus did in fact direct the servants to fill six pots with water, which He then miraculously changed into a fine quality wine. “The changing of water into wine is surely meant to bring out the power of Jesus to bring about new beginnings.”[3] We might parallel the higher quality of wine that Jesus made from the water with the higher quality of life that Jesus made available through His death and resurrection. John shows how Jesus “changes the water of Judaism into the wine of Christianity, the water of Christlessness into the wine of the richness and the fullness of eternal life in Christ, the water of the law into the wine of the gospel.”[4] This miracle points to the deity of Christ in that it displays His power...

...given current environmental crises like global warming and municipal water system failures. The common theme of corrupt corporations seeking to make money at the expense of human health continues to play out on a national and global scale. Erin Brockovich sheds light on the public health issue of clean drinking water, something most view as a human right. It’s a film that many can relate to and can serve as a case study in Environmental Law and Public Health. Purpose of the Film The exact details which reveal why the film was made are unclear. Erin Brockovich mentions being approached by a writer and film studio in the 1990s, however, there is no mention of why they chose to tell her story. One can assume the writer and film studio felt the David and Goliath story of a small town legal secretary taking on a large corporation, was worthy of dramatizing. Their hunch was correct and the film was nominated for an Academy Award. Appropriate Audience This film would suit a wide range, from teens to the 60 plus crowd. There is some swearing so it's not appropriate for children; parents will have to decide if it's ok for their teenage children. Erin Brockovich is a great case study for those studying environmental law or public health. It’s also relevant to anyone studying business or ethics. The science has been called into question, yet the fundamentals of leading an inquiry into a community's drinking water remain relevant today. Public Health Issue Given recent developments...

...creations is shown in all aspects of the creation in the Bible. With each aspect of creation, God expressed pleasure in what He created. God’s pleasure in his creation reveals the need for Christians to care for the environment. God shows man’s mandate given by God for creation in Genesis 2: 19-20. Since God gave the mandate to rule over the earth, man is also responsible for the environment. Global warming has affected the planet which is and has caused a climate change on earth. Natural disasters have increased due to the climate change. Christian’s responsibility for creation is to restore its landscape, agriculture, animal life, and human livelihood. Christians have a responsibility to preserve creation by recycling, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and create protection agencies for wild life. Christians have a responsibility to take care of creation, restore, preserve, and protect creation in all aspects which God has commanded man to do. God’s involvement in creation is understood for Christians in the Bible starting at Genesis 1. The Bible shows at the beginning God’s hand is expressed in all aspects of creation. The first day of creation God made space, time, earth, and light. On the second day, God created the atmosphere of the earth which then making it possible for life on earth. The third day, God made dry land and called it “earth.” God names the water “sea.” God also created the vegetation, plants that produced seeds for reproduction, fruit with seeds in the fruit...

Cite specific textual evidence to support your analysis. Thomas Jefferson took Oath of Office as the third president on March 4th, 1801. Jefferson had a marvelous imagination, and many ideas about Westward Expansion. He used individuals and resources along the way for the expansion.

...the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) the Prince of Life doesn’t show or give any miraculous signs to prove his authority. In the Abramic religions, these eight signs are actual events from the beginning of His ministry with the turning of water into wine to the final miracle of a miraculous catch of fish after the death and resurrection of Christ. Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples which are not recorded in the book But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name (John 20:30-31 NIV ). This paper will explain and not only give light, but reveals His purpose, ministry and also His deity as Christ Our Lord. Jesus performed miracles in this gospel for a variety of reasons. First, the ultimate objection of the signs was to bring glory to God (John 2:11) and develop the faith of those who witnessed or heard about these miracles (John 20:31). Second, miracles were performed by Christ to demonstrate how he fulfilled prophecy (John 6:14) and third, perhaps as an expression of the compassion upon people (John 11:5, 35). Turning Water into Wine: The first miracle that Jesus performed was changing water into wine. Jesus and the few disciples that had already been chosen by Jesus attended a marriage in Cana of Galilee. This was the wedding celebration that His first miracle was signed. While in the progression of the banquet, the weeding hosts ran...

...story “My Kinsman, Major Molineux”, was the aspect of light and how the light both has concealing and revealing qualities to it throughout the story (White, 215). The light viewed for Hawthorne is something that is very mysterious and suggestive in the way that light is self revealing (White, 215). The thesis is a clear statement that was made by White which reveals how Hawthorne used the different types of light throughout his story. Hawthorne makes his work revolve around the illumination and use of light in the story and reveals how Robin had to see his cousin and find out who he truly was. Robin was a country boy with no experience of the city life but he was determined to find greatness in the city which lead the readers to foreshadow a very unhappy ending - “Robin’s comic fumbling, his incomprehension of city manners and customs, and a willingness to credulously accept the help and comfort of strangers” (White, 215). The way in which the light conceals in “My Kinsman, Major Molineux” is shown by how Robin mistakes a prostitute for an enchanting lady. The concealed shape of the women allows Robin’s projection of what he wishes to see in her (White, 216). This confusion of revealing and concealing lights can be very hard for the reader to understand but the way “Robin achieves his true sight not through the victory of one light over the other, but through an agreeable union wherein each respective light throws relief against the other” (White, 217). The article written by...

...God shows his divine plan in the Old Testament in many ways. One verse is Exodus 3 when God reveals himself in the form of a burning bush telling Moses to go and free the Israelites from Egypt. Moses questions this at first, but then God reveals to Moses the goodness and how important of what will come when Moses free’s the Israelites. Another example of God revealing himself in the Old Testament is Genesis 40 when Joseph helps interprets the cupbearer and the baker’s dreams how one will be released and the other will be killed. God shows his divine revelation by giving Joseph the ability to interpret through dreams to help him save others from harm by eventually bringing the Israelites to Egypt so they don't starve. Lastly 1 Kings 19 talks about Elijah and climbing up to Horeb to see God through the fire, thunder, lightning and earthquakes. God never appeared to him in any of these tremendous...

...sparkling water — these are all names for carbonated drink, more commonly known as soft drink. It is the latest trend in beverages today. Almost every individual consumes this type of drink thinking that it quenches their thirst because of its unique taste. But little do they know that this beverage subtly destroys them. The production and consumption of carbonated drinks should be minimized because it can lead to health problems or in worst case, death. Soft drinks are extremely acidic which may lead to certain health disorders. These sodas contain phosphoric and carbonic acids, two substances that can corrode almost anything when ingested in pure amounts. Phosphoric acid is diluted to become nontoxic and is usually mixed with carbonated drinks to give its characteristic sour taste. Scientific studies reveal that elevated levels of phosphates eliminate essential vitamins and minerals from the body, leading to an abnormality when life processes (digestion, respiration, etc) are carried out. Also, a severe lack of minerals can lead to heart disease (lack of magnesium), osteoporosis (lack of calcium), and many other diseases. Moreover, these drinks can wear away the enamel of the teeth which may cause tooth decay and may result to further dental problems. Imagine the digestive tract as a rusty car bumper. When sodas are poured in the bumper, the rust is immediately removed. This is what these drinks really do to our body. Carbonated drinks are mainly composed of distilled water, some...

...Unfortunately, when the tourism activity peaks in summer, nature’s ability to produce freshwater is at its lowest. Currently, Mediterranean countries use dams and extract ground water to meet the ever increasing demands due to increasing tourists. Water ecosystems are suffering through significant devastation as river flows are being disturbed due to increasing numbers of dams and groundwater level are decreasing due to intense pumping. Furthermore, decreasing groundwater level have an adverse impact on human communities, as the groundwater level decreases, it becomes more saltier and thus forces us to abandonment or limit the use of groundwater for drinking and irrigation. In addition, as the tourism industry expands, urban boundaries are likely to move inwards destroying precious lagoons and coastal wetlands. Appropriate measures must be taken by the government, tourism industry and an individual tourism in order to reduce the consumption of water in the Mediterranean. Reducing water consumption is economically beneficial as it will save on water bill for resorts and hotels and at the same time it will preserve wetlands as one of the attractions for tourists. The following paper will analyse impacts of increasing tourism on water ecosystems and will explore recommended approach for decreasing water use will also be explored within...

...In this passage, it demonstrates how the adolescent is confused and in the moment he does not notice that some of his feathers have fallen off and soon enough he “plummeted” down into the deep blue waters. Not only did Icarus suffer from his flight, but so did his father. For instance on page 34, “... the joy of his flight was gone and his victory over the air was bitter to him.” In summary, both Daedalus and Icarus deserved their price for attempting human flight. Thus, the essential moral in the myth The flight of Icarus and “Icarus’ Flight” is that freedom comes with a price. So, if Icarus has only heeded his father’s words and if he has stayed at the limit of human freedom in the air; then he would not have faced a calamitous price for both him and his father. This young man isn’t the only citizen that has experienced a catastrophic death. In like manner, hundreds of young adults all around the United States have died at a young...
