Majority of the time it can be found difficult when comparing bible stories to any other story. For example the story of Astrahasis takes place after the world was created, meaning no human activity was present. The “Gods” did the work, not men. These accusations would make it hard for someone of the Catholic religion to believe because of their teachings. Catholics believe that only one God created heaven and earth. The concept of reading how different Gods played a major role in creating the…

trading outposts were the two types of colonies traditionally founded by the city-states of the Ancient Greeks (Stein, 2005:12). Trade was the primary reason for the Greek colonial expansion into Illyria. Illyrian exports included wool, slaves, bitumen, metal ores, hides, stock, mercenaries, timber, and cereal grains. Imports from the Greeks consisted of ornaments for clothing, wine, olive oil, weapons, armour, vessels, and utensils (Hammond, 1992; Wilkes, 1992). One warring Illyrian tribe…

away after having a carry 25gal propane tank up eight flights of stairs. Commercial roofing was a lot different than residential, we were required to wear hard hats and glasses, also instead of nailing shingles down we cleaned everything and mopped bitumen(a kind of tar) over the whole thing and rolled out sheets of asphalt. The rolls weighed twice as much as the shingle bundles and would leave your arms covered in shards of fiberglass and it was nearly impossible to keep it from happening.…

Introduction: - It is obvious that humans are extracting more natural resources then needed. The main debate here is that some believe that nature is able to renew itself and therefore we are not harming it. This is the optimistic view. On the other hand side, there are the pessimists who believe that we are witnessing “the death of birth”. Every natural resource has a limited time span, including water. Maybe not in the near future but eventually, we will have no water left. It is fundamental…

additionally, photography changed the ability to capture the events in history. The first surviving photograph was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826. This photograph was taken using the Heliography process. For the Heliography process, Niepce “used bitumen of Judea dissolved in oil of lavender, a substance which hardens and becomes insoluble if exposed to strong light…when a thin coating of this mixture was spread onto a pewter plate and exposed to sunlight, a positive image was the…

Throughout history there have been various definitions present on what a disaster is and the effects that it contains in relation to the environment and residents within the area. Society often has specific dominant worldviews in regards to disasters, which can pertain to or focus around disasters being seen as a “hazard”, “unlucky”, or an “unavoidable “ event (Scandlyn et al, 2009). Generally, many individuals tend to reflect on definitions in relation to conventional theories because the media…

Some may argue that photography is the single most important thing ever invented. It shows our past, it is proof that we exist, so that way when we pass on there will be something to remember us by. Photography is a way to look back on our life and to see what we have made of it. “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” -Dorothea Lange. PHOTOGRAPHY WAS FIRST USED AS A TOOL TO AID WITH ART, AND OVER THE YEARS NEW INVENTIONS HAVE MADE PHOTOGRAPHY INTO ITS VERY…

Studies have indicated that most of the organisation’s priority is to meet or exceed their business objectives. The success of executing any strategy is dependent on how effective the leadership is communicating the strategy, as well as the performance of the employees who contribute towards its implementation. Therefore it is desirable for the leaders of organisations to make sure that the strategy they are driving is aligned with the culture that they want to instil in the organization. This…

painted. We learned about Supremacism and how the idea of a fourth dimension took hold in many photographer’s art. A Brief History In 1826, the first photograph was taken by Nicephore Niepce, a French scientist who used the photo sensitivity of bitumen of Judea (Syrian Asphalt) to permanently affix a landscape and land himself the title of “Inventor of Photography”. But the story reaches back much farther than this, to the Renaissance, when the camera obscura was used by many artists. The…

constantly throbbing. Still, he pushed on, blades of grass scratching at his fur. He needed to find shelter—a place to live with protection as rat or man—and there was only one house that fitted that description. The grass and dirt soon gave way to grey bitumen as he entered the town. His tiny heart thumped when the cries of a stray dog rang out, the howling ringing in his ears. No, it couldn’t be him. He was safely…
