Wilderness Required
Number of words: 938 - Number of pages: 4.... that wilderness is needed:
“And when at last I walked on past the two juniper trees
toward the far side of the plateau I found I was feeling sorry
for any man who was not free to abandon whatever futility
detained him and to walk away into the desert morning with
a pack on his back.”
Such experiences allow for one to gain a sense of who they are, not as a superior being, but as one living creature in an expansive world. This is a sense of appreciation for what there is to discover in the wilderness. These discoveries are endless; both scientific and philosophical. Fletcher ha .....

Multi-regional Continuity: The Fossil Evidence
Number of words: 1080 - Number of pages: 4.... and a high, vaulted shape in the area of the cranium. “Archaic” features in skull morphology include thick cranial walls, heavy supraorbital ridges, large teeth, large eye sockets, sloping foreheads, low cranial volume (below 1200 cc.), high prognathism in the area of the lower face, and a small, football-shaped cranium. The presence of various mixtures of these modern and archaic traits forms the basis for identifying a fossil as transitional modern/archaic in accordance with the multi-regional continuity model of human evolution.
As an example of transitional fossils found o .....

Geothermal Energy
Number of words: 4686 - Number of pages: 18.... very different. A great mass of elements swirled around a dense core in the middle. As time went on the accumulation elements with similar physical properties into hot bodies caused a slow formation of a crystalline barrier around the denser core. Hot bodies consisting of iron were attracted to the core with greater force because they were more dense. These hot bodies sunk into and became part of the constantly growing core. Less dense elements were pushed towards the surface and began to form the crust. The early crust or crystalline barrier consisted of ultra basic, basic, calc-alkaline, a .....

Microbursts
Number of words: 1333 - Number of pages: 5.... particularly hazardous to flight operations
because of there severity and small size. Professor T. Fulita, an
atmospheric scientist from the University of Chicago, coined the term
downburst for a concentrated, sever downdraft that induces an outward burst
of damaging winds at the ground. He also introduced the term microburst for
a downburst with horizontal dimensions of 4km or less (Lester 11-4).
Microbursts form by the same process that produce the more common and less
intense down drafts; that is, by precipitation drag and cooling due to the
evaporation and melting of precipitation parti .....

Nuclear Power In Ontario
Number of words: 1130 - Number of pages: 5.... Quebec became responsible for implementing AECL’s nuclear power program and marketing CANDU reactors. Nuclear power was cheap, if you did not have to worry about the waste. This was the answer to Ontario’s power problems, so they invested in the newest source of power at the time.
Most people believed that nuclear power was a good change in Ontario’s power structure, and there would be no real problems in the future. Ontario needed a new source of power in the 1950s; they found it in nuclear power and it solved the problem. In the 1950s the average person did no .....

rolled piece of paper that is twisted at the ends. A blunt is
normally an emptied cigar wrapper filled with marijuana. In a
blunt you can fit much more marijuana. Though a blunt isn't
always purely marijuana, it can be mixed with other drugs such as
angel dust.
The results are varied when someone smokes marijuana.
Different people will get different results, and certain types of
cannabis can cause different effects. The amount .....

The Dangers Of Nuclear "Progress"
Number of words: 610 - Number of pages: 3.... This proposal stated that
all nuclear technology and materials be placed under international
ownership and that all nuclear weapons be destroyed. However, the Soviet
Union feared that the United States would always have a military advantage
if they gave up their plans for building a nuclear device and, therefore,
rejected the proposal.
I think that the refusal of the Soviet Union was a big mistake on
their part. Not only did they put the safety of the U.S.S.R on the line,
but of the whole world, as well. By rejecting that proposal, other
countries would soon follow America's ex .....

Abortions
Number of words: 711 - Number of pages: 3.... of altogether. This task should not be a hard one, but it might take some time. My plan calls for the closing and the illegalizing of abortion clinics, and the prosecution of people who perform these deeds.
As with any big descion we must consider the opposing views. One reason that the debate on what we should do about doesn’t go anywhere, is because each side focuses on a different topic. We make no progress because we are not talking about the same thing. The anti-abortionists are focused on the fetus’ rights, and the pro-abortionists are focused on the women’s rights. Tho .....

Heart Murmurr
Number of words: 888 - Number of pages: 4.... blood flow through them will cause a murmur. As the baby grows, the murmur will become softer and many times disappear altogether. Another common innocent murmur heard in children ages 3 to 8 years is a vibratory musical murmur called a Still's murmur. No one knows the cause of the murmur other than blood flowing through a healthy vigorous heart. The murmur is usually detected at a well-child visit or if the child comes in with fever or some other form of illness. In times of fever or illness, the murmur will be louder because the heart is pumping harder, and blood is flowing through the he .....
