...resources and space needed to sustain human life. Location The location chosen for living on another planet is the Moon. Some of the key characteristics about the selected location: * Distance from the Sun 93,205,678 miles or 150 million km * Planet characteristics: No atmosphere, soil composed of maria, temperature’s during the day reach 107° C, temperature’s at night reach -153°C * ¼ the diameter of Earth * No liquid water on the planet The location selected for colonization would be between the light and dark side of the Moon. With no atmosphere on the Moon climate is not a factor. The Moon does however have two sides, a light side which is always exposed to the Sun, and a dark side which is never exposed to the Sun. Purpose The purpose for colonizing the Moon includes a few key factors that bring us to the selected planet: * Over population * Depletion of natural resources * Uninhabitable environment caused by global warming The early stages of the colonization process would be proposed in four phases. Phase I would include engineering personnel and selected international government officials. Phase II would include military personnel and selected citizens to begin colony settlements. Phase III and...

...among trans‐nats and growing human population means more and more resources are being removed. This situation threatens the feasibility of life on the planet. Robinson played out this idea over the course of three books. By the end of Red Mars, a world war has erupted on Earth. The second book in the trilogy, Green Mars, documents the terraforming of the red planet. (Terraforming is a science‐fiction term for adapting another planet or moon into a planet that can sustain life in the same way Earth can. This process involves creating an appropriate biosphere, atmosphere, and surface topography on the new celestial body.) The third book in the trilogy, Blue Mars, picks up at the stage when the terraforming has allowed for water to exist on Mars. Life on Mars is now truly possible. By the end of the book series, humanity has acquired the skills and technology to spread its civilization throughout the solar system. Robinson is an American writer. The Mars trilogy is his best‐known work. Robinson is also an...

...point there at. Zambia is a prime example of perseverance and determination, during the 1960s and early 1970s Zambia had one of the fastest growing economies in Africa. Twenty years later it suffered major economic decline with appalling increases in the level of poverty. After its downfall Zambia has managed to emerge, the economic history of Zambia is divided into six stages during the pre colonization stage many of the people of Zambia were organized into chieftaincies and monarchies that developed a network of trading in copper, ivory, rhino horn and slaves. Before this stage took place economic decision making was confined to local communities, but as the economy began to flourish, the natural riches of the economy were exposed. The colonization era brought about the importance of copper; many were forced to work in the mines to pay for the high taxes on their homes with the creation of the hut tax. The Post Independence Boom encouraged the African Labor Force to form trade unions creating conglomerates like Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM). The Economic Decline in 1970’s and 1980’s stage showed the over dependence Zambia had on the copper mines and the growth of the 1960’s changed with the period between 1975 and 1990 the level of real GDP per capita declining by almost 30%. Change came with the Sustained Economic Reform of the 1990s three main goals were established 1) To restore macroeconomic stability 2) To facilitate private sector growth through reducing...

...Our Country’s Good is a play performed by the UofL Theater Department. The focus of the show is on the societal effects and implication of colonization during the founding of the penal colony of Australia, power dynamics between class systems, and to an extent the effects of colonization on indigenous populations. This paper will analyze the themes of the play as performed by the UofL theater department, and a critique of the actual properties found within the performance. I would like to begin my discussion with the actual stage design of the show. The show takes place on a set that is a mixture of abstraction and realistic elements. It resembles a pastiche of sails and desks, creating a setting that both encapsulates the era, while also...

...considerable. The English language has gone through seven stages through history and as a result the modern English is formed. To begin with, before the common era, the native citizens in the now called British isles were called the Celts. Their local language was the Celtic language (Beal 50). The Pre – English period, the first stage, began in 55 B.C. when the Romans made their invasion . Consequently, Latin became the official language and people turned into being bilingual. The next stage is the Early Old English. In 450 A.D., the Anglo-Saxons invaded Britain. They were a group of Germanic tribes including the Angles, Saxons, and the Jutes. They brought a variety of Germanic dialects of West Germanic origin (German and Dutch influence) which constructed the base of the old English language. These dialects included Latin words that were acquired due to trading or the Roman invasion of Germania (Beal 50, 54). That’s how the modern English gained its Latin words that are used in the mean time. As a matter of fact, England faced more invasions from neighboring countries. In the Later Old English stage, there was a new invasion in 793 A.D. from the Scandinavian Vikings. Then, by 850 A.D. more raids followed especially by the Danish armies. As stated by Beal, the old English was influenced by the Norse language of the Danes. In fact, the words ‘egg’, ‘husband’, and ‘sky’ are of Norse origin. What’s more, the Middle English stage witnessed the Normans’ invasion of England in 1066...

...establish new settlements in the name of the crown and Britain. Most of the colonists were privately funded with endorsement by the British government. The Idea of colonization was to establish settlements for the purpose of expanding a trade base for economic purposes. Britain colonized North America basically because they had a limited amount of land and natural resources, North America presented a great opportunity to expand their land holdings and create a source for raw materials. Britain still considered the colonists to be British citizens and therefore were expected to abide by rules and laws established by Britain for the colonists. Britain exerted tight control of the colonists through laws and acts that were specifically designed for the benefit of Britain. The needs of Britain were always put first before the needs of the colonists. Acts and taxes were put in place as a means to control trade and make sure that monetary items were received by Britain. The economic cycle was one of Britain obtained raw materials cheaply from the colonies, the goods were finished in England and sold back to the colonists for large profits. The colonies in North America were strictly established for the economic benefit of Britain. Also there was great prestige in this era that came from global expansion. (“British Colonization of the Americas” n.d.) Part A1 The indigenous people of North America reacted initially with skepticism and reluctant acceptance. The acceptance eventually turned...

...prevent the spread of C. difficile infection? Preventing the spread of C. difficile can be accomplished by being diligent with hand washing and by cleaning surfaces regularly with disinfectants. Hypochlorite based disinfectants have shown the most success in hospital cleansing routines. Hospitals must take special precautions when cleaning a room after a patient with C. difficile has occupied it. Patients with C. difficile will usually be on isolation precautions in a private room or be paired up with another patient who is positive for C. difficile. e. What is the difference between C. difficile colonization and C. difficile-associated disease? C. difficile colonization differs from C. difficile associated disease in several ways. A patient with C. difficile colonization tests positive for C. difficile but has no clinical symptoms. C. difficile colonization is more...

...Introduction During the end of Edo period, Japan was forced to sign on the unequal treaty, the Treaty of Amity and Commerce, by the United States forces that demanded the opening of five ports for the foreign trade while securing the U.S. diplomatic privilege of extraterritoriality (Tipton, 2002, p.26). This agreement curtailed the Japanese sovereignty for the first time in history, and alerted Japanese politicians to the dangers of further foreign encroachment. After the fierce debates among Japanese intellectuals, they realized ‘Gunboat diplomacy’ is the essence of the international political game. Thus, some of enlightened leaders such as Sakamoto Ryōma (1867) emphasized the necessity of modernize Japan as Western states by strengthening the military and economic power in his writing Eight-Point Program in order to survive in the arena of power politics. This idea was adopted as a center pillar of Meiji Restoration and enabled Japan to build up military power comparable to Western states within a short period of time. However, Japan needed to show its advanced military strength to be recognized as a growing power and to join ranks of powers in international politics (Ebrey, 2009, p.371). Therefore, the Meiji government planned the way to be a ‘regional hegemon’ through military expansion in Asia. It first defeated Qing Dynasty in Sino-Japanese War in 1895 and representatives of both states signed at the Treaty of Simonoseki that included the Article to cede full sovereignty...

...Often called William Shakespeare’s farewell to the stage, The Tempest is considered to be one of his greatest plays. The Tempest is not set in reality, but in a mysterious world that melded everyday people and material with a beautiful fantasia. The Tempest features many fantastic themes, three of them include power and control, man versus monster and colonization. Out of all of the themes in The Tempest, these three themes are the most prevalent. The theme of power and control mainly ensues within Prospero, himself. This is prevailing in the way he treats his servants, Caliban and Ariel. Prospero says many nasty things to Caliban such as, “Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself. Upon thy wicked dam, Come forth!” (I.ii.383-384) From...

...Reasons why Europe Colonized Asia and Africa and not the Other Way Round Student’s Name: Institutional affiliation: Colonization is the governing influence, control or acquiring partial or full political control past another country, occupying it with foreign settlers and manipulating it economically. It also is when a group or society of people migrates from one area to another but keep their original homeland language and culture. Colonialism is establishment and preservation for a lengthy period, of rule over foreign people that are independent from and subordinate to a power ruling. Colonialism takes a variety of forms. There are three basic variations namely; I. Internal colonialism II. External colonization by the neighboring states. III. External colonization This refers to the so called ‘salt and water’ colonization whereby ‘aliens colonized distant places (Keal, 2003). This characterizes Europe’s expansion to America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. The first wave of European colonization and exploitation started in America in the 15th century until early in the 19th century (Tmh, 2010). It primarily involved the colonization of the Americans by the Europeans. The second extensive phase of European exploratory ventures and colonization was primarily focused on Asia and Africa. It was also known as the era of new imperialism. History of Colonialism in Africa and Asia by the Europeans Between the historical...

...What is the mechanism that Bordetella pertussis uses to invade epithelial cells in the lungs? The bacteria, Bordetella pertussis causes cough which becomes serious cough as the bacteria stays in the upper respiratory track and releases toxins which lead to the inflammation. The lungs consist of the Epithelial cell lining which is invaded by this bacteria. There are two stages for this disease the first stage is the colonization of the bacteria in the upper respiratory track. And the second stage is known as toxemic stage. During the first stage fever, cough is observed and during the toxemic stage there will be prolonged cough. We need to identify in the first stage itself as the medication will be working but the medication will not be working in the second stage. Why does this Gram-negative bacteria cause the characteristic cough that it does? Dry cough and sore throat are the common symptoms which are seen with Gram- negative bacteria. Cough lasts for almost 7-10 days. The Gram negative bacteria enters in to the respiratory track and involves in production of mucous and this results in the excess mucous production due to which cough effects the patient. Respiratory track is blocked by this mucous which leads to the breathing hard and whopping sound is also observed while coughing. Why is infant mortality high? All age groups might be affected with the disease; infants are at the high risk. As vaccination is not done infant mortality rate is high. Booster vaccines...

...the imitation that it presents that happens in real life. In our simple imitation of our friend who is weird and to If there’s European Drama, American Drama, Spanish Drama, and other dramas that existed in other countries, of course there is Philippine Drama. But what makes Philippine Drama different from the other dramas that existed? It differs with the involvement of what we call “Philippine-ness”. This “Philippine-ness” involves three things: our culture and heritage, the essence it gives to our people and the solution it may present in our people at a certain time of need. It involves our people, our culture and tradition, as well as Philippines itself; all in all our identity. Philippine Drama existed way before the Spanish colonization. I really appreciate this period of drama: The Indigenous Period. Compared to other periods of drama, Indigenous period reflect the true “Philippine-ness” of a drama. It is original, more Filipino, more real, and when it comes to imitativeness or mimesis it is more grandeur. One part in Tiongson’s video documentary that caught my attention is the man who imitates the action of a monkey. In that example we could see our culture, its originality, its refinement in that simple acting or imitation; A really true Filipino drama. But as our...

...SUCCESSION Virtually all plant communities experience, from time to time, disturbances that remove all or some of the plant biomass. Thus, diversity is influenced heavily by disturbance =is the directional change in community composition and structure over time. • "begins" when a disturbance is followed by colonization or re-growth of the disturbed site by plants • Natural, gradual changes in the types of species that live in an area; can be primary or secondary • The gradual replacement of one plant community by another through natural processes over time Causes of Plant Succession • Autogenic succession (2 types) can be brought by changes in the soil caused by the organisms there. These changes include accumulation of organic matter in litter or humic layer, alteration of soil nutrients, change in pH of soil by plants growing there. The structure of the plants themselves can also alter the community. For example, when larger species like trees mature, they produce shade on to the developing forest floor that tends to exclude light-requiring species. Shade-tolerant species will invade the area. • Allogenic changes are caused by external environmental influences and not by the vegetation. For example soil changes due to erosion, leaching or the deposition of silt and clays can alter the nutrient content and water relationships in the ecosystems. Animals also play an important role in allogenic changes as they are pollinators, seed dispersers and...
