...Brian Ollis ENG 111HN Andrew Ehritz November12, 2013 Is Drinking Alcoholic Beverages a Sin This is a question that I used to ask myself when I first give my life to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Is drinking alcoholic beverages a sin? Since I got saved my drinking of alcohol has caused me conflict in the churches that I attend. They believe that drinking alcohol is a sin. In my 10 years of studying all the books of the Bible, I have never found any evidence that it is a sin unless it is done in excess. The Bible does not forbid a Christian from drinking beer, wine, or any other drink containing alcohol. Many Americans may not know this, but alcohol is a non-issue for Christians in many other parts of the world. (Challies) We should consider, consumption of small quantities of alcohol is a matter of Christian freedom. God says during His annual Feast of Tabernacles, which He commands His people to keep: “And you shall bestow that money for whatsoever your soul lusts after [desires], for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever your soul desires: and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household.” (Deut. 14:26). Alcohol, consumed in small quantities, is not harmful. In fact, some doctors support drinking small amounts of red wine for the heart. It has been proven that small amounts of alcohol helps different stomach problems. The Holy Bible says, “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine...

...He also states at the end that faith always remains constant, and that this is one of the reasons why theology, which is a discussion of God, is possible. But, what does constant mean? The dictionary defines constant as something continuing without pause or let up, something that does not or cannot vary. For example: a table. A table is constant, because it exists without pause and does not vary. Hence, faith is not constant. According to Haight beliefs are the expression of faith. But beliefs are neither continuing nor invariable. Everyone changes their beliefs, it is human nature to evolve and rethink them. At the same time they are not constant because I am not persistently believing in something. Beliefs are not a table, they are not tangible, and only exist in our minds as thoughts that live and die within us at the moment we start and finish thinking about them. I am not constantly experiencing faith; faith exists only when I give it some thought. Although my belief might not change from one time to the next it will inevitably change through time. And when do we think about our faith? It is also human nature to only think about God when things are not going well. If we are having a streak of luck we do not pause to think about God for a minute and thank him. On the other hand, it is very common to blame or doubt that there is a God when things go wrong. If my faith only exists when I am giving it thought, and the only time a give it thought is to blame God for everything...

...equilibria involved in physical and chemical processes; • write expressions for equilibrium constants; • establish a relationship between Kp and K c ; • explain various factors that affect the equilibrium state of a reaction; • classify substances as acids or bases according to Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis concepts; • classify acids and bases as weak or strong in terms of their ionization constants; • explain the dependence of degree of ionization on concentration of the electrolyte and that of the common ion; • describe pH scale for representing hydrogen ion concentration; • explain ionisation of water and its duel role as acid and base; • describe ionic product (Kw ) and pKw for water; • appreciate use of buffer solutions; • calculate solubility product constant. Chemical equilibria are important in numerous biological and environmental processes. For example, equilibria involving O2 molecules and the protein hemoglobin play a crucial role in the transport and delivery of O2 from our lungs to our muscles. Similar equilibria involving CO molecules and hemoglobin account for the toxicity of CO. When a liquid evaporates in a closed container, molecules with relatively higher kinetic energy escape the liquid surface into the vapour phase and number of liquid molecules from the vapour phase strike the liquid surface and are retained in the liquid phase. It gives rise to a constant vapour pressure because of an equilibrium in which the number of molecules leaving the liquid...

...water trying to move from interstitial space into the capillary Hydrostatic pressure will be greater in the arterial side as opposed to the venule side. Osmotic Pressure is constant throughout the capillary. Because the hydrostatic pressure drops across the capillary, at the artery side fluid is pushed into the interstitial space whereas in the venule side, fluid is pushed into the vessel. If you have high blood pressure, it can cause build up of fluid in interstitial space (due to high hydrostatic pressure) and cause edema. Also, if fluid is not taken in by lymphatic vessels, it can also cause edema. Water that is lost from fluid due to hydrostatic pressure eventually goes into lymph vessels and is put back into the vessels. Note: Capillary walls are made up of endothelial cells Sodium Potassium ATPase: Pumps 3 Na ions out and 2 K ions in. Ketone Bodies: Ketone bodies are produced when AcetylcoA exceeds krebs cycles capacity. So, when you are starving, ketone bodies are used primarily rather than glucose. Glucose is preserved for brain. Brain, heart, muscle can use ketone bodies. Liver cannot use ketone bodies. Insulin: Insulin helps glucose intake by cells normally. Unsaturated fat is easy to burn off because they produce less energy…hence they are healthier.

...KINEMATICS 1. INTRODUCTION TO KINEMATICS Dynamics is the study of moving objects. The subject is divided into kinematics and kinetics. Kinematics is the study of a body’s motion independent of the forces on the body. It is the study of the geometry of motion without consideration of the causes of motion. Kinematics deals only with relationships among the position, velocity, acceleration, and time. Kinetics deals with both forces and motion. 2. PARTICLES AND RIGID BODIES Bodies in motion can be considered particles if rotation is absent or insignificant. Particles do not possess rotational kinetic energy. All parts of a particle have the same instantaneous displacement, velocity, and acceleration. A rigid body does not deform when loaded and can be considered as a combination of two or more particles that remain at a fixed, finite distance from each other. 3. COORDINATE SYSTEMS The position of a particle is specified with reference to a coordinate system. A coordinate can represent a position along an axis, as in the rectangular coordinate system or it can represent an angle, as in the polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. In general, the number of degrees of freedom is equal to the number of coordinates required to completely specify the state of an object. If each of the coordinates is independent of the others, the coordinates are shown as holonomic coordinates. 4. CONVENTIONS OF REPRESENTATION ...

...between the price of the good and the quantity that a consumer is willing to buy during a particular time period, holding all other variables constant. To construct a demand curve, we use the data shown in a demand schedule which contains, for each price, the quantity that a consumer is willing to buy. 2. The law of demand states that the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded, ceteris paribus. Thus the demand curve is negatively sloped because of: a. Substitution effect: A fall in the price of the good lowers the opportunity cost of consuming it (the number of other goods you must give up), and thus consumers are likely to substitute this good for others. b. Income effect: A fall in the price means that a given amount of money will buy more of all goods; in other words, real income has increased. The consumer is likely to purchase more of this good and of other goods. 3. A change in quantity demanded refers to a movement along the demand curve and is caused ONLY by a change in price. From Individual to Market Demand 1. The market demand curve shows the relationship between the price of the good and quantity that all consumers together are willing to buy. 2. In addition to the number of buyers (population), factors other than the price of the good that determine individual demand are held constant along the demand curve. These non-price variables include a. Consumer income. b. The price of related goods. i. complements ...

...Romantics believed that humanity had a very dark, evil side to it—as portrayed in Francisco de Goya’s Saturn Devouring One of His Children, for example—and therefore, nature is simply the aspect of the world that is not contaminated with this evil side of the human mind. After the shift towards Darwinian beliefs, however, nature was regarded holistically—in addition to interference that humans impose upon nature, it was also defined by the constant change that it underwent. In the eyes of Darwin, nature was always changing form and adapting—an idea that runs counter to the Romantic idea that nature is a constant, always demonstrating purity and goodness. The Romantic Movement ultimately began around the time of the French Revolution, when there was a large amount of upheaval. Romantics believed that they could return to peace and unity they once had after all of the strife which presented itself during Robespierre’s Reign of Terror by observing nature and the purity that was contained within it. They ultimately believed that the only entity that remained pure from all the strife and horror that human intervention could cause was nature. For example, William Wordsworth in Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, “These beauteous forms…I have owed to them, In hours of weariness, sensations sweet, Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart…With tranquil restoration.”...

...and variable costs as well as explore the differences between static and flexible budgets. We will also investigate how they are suitable for cost-volume-profit analysis. Relationships between Fixed and Variable Costs Used in a Flexible Budget There are two main costs that need to be managed to budget which are fixed costs and variable cost. No matter how much merchandise is sold or how many services are offered fixed costs do not change. These costs are things such as rent, insurance and salaries. Regardless if the business is not making enough profit these costs have to be paid. Variable cost can change according to how many products are made. Variable costs change according to output. Fixed costs behave much differently than variable costs. Remember that a relevant range of activity is the range in which actual operations are likely to occur. A cost is fixed only within a limited time. For planning purposes, management usually considers an annual period: Fixed costs are expected to be constant within the period. Fixed costs change when activity exceeds the relevant range. Many costs demonstrate both variable and fixed behavior characteristics. Variable costs vary in...
