Is it hard for you to visualize certain descriptions in a book? Well, some people find it challenging to grasp strong topics in a book because it can be boring to read only words on a simple sheet of paper. Bottlemania is a great, descriptive, and resourceful book that I am convinced everyone should read at least once in his or her life. It’s overflowing with knowledge and examples of why bottled water is recently found to be poor for our economy and land. Besides the written form for educating the world, Tapped is a film that exemplifies all of the problems and horrors in the world because of the process of water bottle creation and distrubution. The movie seems to affect a greater amount of people than the book because of the visual effects as well as the soundtracks that follows. The similar aspects of Bottlemania and Tapped are that they both portray the harmful effects that bottled water does to our Earth as well as people. They also offer factual information that states how water was stolen by large corporate companies and used without the permission of the community, such as Fryeburg. Bottlemania and Tapped provide the readers with interviews that lead individuals to believe the information they are consuming comes from a reliable source. They all have a descriptive way of presenting examples of the harmful chemicals...

God himself referred to David as a man after his own heart. Throughout the Bible, there was only one man that held the heart of God; and that man was David. God described David as being a, “man after God’s own heart,” and gave the reason why He felt this way about David. “I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do” (Acts 13: 22, Life Application Study Bible).

...A preconceived notion is that it seeks the elixir to life, and the perfect replica of gold. Historical texts can in fact prove that alchemists employed chemical substances and scientific thinking. So why did alchemy die off by the late 1700s? To answer this we go back to the beginning. Perhaps the earliest documented alchemical practices can be dated back to 800 B.C, China, where Taoist traditions began to emerge. The taoists believed that there was a medicine composed of a secret metallurgic recipe that resulted in “drinkable gold”. It would provide the consumer with physical immortality. To the West, in 450 B.C Empedocles of ancient Greece were applying rationalistic explanations to occurrences in nature, rather than empirical ones (Marks,6). He proposed the theory of four elements and assumed that everything was made up of four pure elements: fire, air, water, and earth. When the state of these objects changed, such as burning logs to ash, or ice to water. It changed in the “attraction” and “repulsion” of elements inside the substance and caused the object to appear different. Empedocles’ rationalistic explanation highly resembled modern science’s theory, atoms in molecules will change behaviour when the substance changes state (Purdue University, 3). Aristotle later added to the theory, stating that the pure elements are analogous to sensible...

...Université Nice Sophia Antipolis Institut d'Administration des Entreprises This paper is submitted in the context of the following subject: Portfolio Project Risk & Stock Market M2 EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL PRIVATE BANKING Submitted by: Instructor: KAKAVAND Samaneh EGRET Paul DOU Yan Academic Year 2012/2013 Introduction: Global Economic & stock market Performance: Mixed signals January 2013 is a great month for stock market. Since January, the stock market goes up, so maybe this stock market bulls will keep running in the whole year, especially, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is increasing dramatically, from 12520 in July 2012 to 14275 today. Source: Google Finance One potential reason for the optimism is a positive sense of global economy in the future; the euro zone is not going to break up, because in September 2012, European Central Bank promised unlimited bond-buying to keep the euro together; China has avoided a hard landing, America avoided falling off the fiscal cliff. Additionally, Federal Reserve agreed to keep interest rates down to help encourage investment and decrease the unemployment rate. Based on the above economic performances, we can argue that the share prices will go up, because the global economy is recovering from recession. Since the bonds yields will keep running low in 2013, investment in equity market is a more reasonable choice. However, market risk and uncertain...
