Evenness of zero

resources are of course limited. The commodity in which groups compete is honor. Honor is the ultimate good thing. This competition for honor can be seen throughout the first century and in the New Testament. The opponents of Jesus operated from a zero sum game in respect to honor if Jesus is honored they are in turn without honor. Paul’s missionary journeys encountered groups that operated with that same perspective. This is why many attempts are made to dishonor Jesus and Paul. Dishonoring…

The philosophy of zero tolerance has dominated the educational landscape since the 1990’s. Originally zero tolerance was developed as an approach to drug enforcement but it has become a mandate for discipline in schools. Zero tolerance mandates the predetermined consequences, most often severe and punitive in nature, that are intended to be applied regardless of the severity of the behavior, mitigating circumstances, or situational context. As educational leaders, our main purpose to ensure a…

My high school has a zero-tolerance policy when it pertains to fighting. Therefore, it does not matter if you are not the instigator of a fight; it is an automatic suspension. Unfortunately, on two occasions, I was suspended and both times for fighting. The first incident occurred in October 2016, because female students were repeatedly bullying and calling me derogatory “black” names due to my dark skin tone. The second time was at a football match, hosted at another school in November 2017,…

to the school and community. Being a former athlete himself, he was excited about the implications of Sheila’s honorary scholarship. If the student lost her esteemed appointment, the ramifications for all members involved can be severe. Enforcing a zero tolerance policy means there are no exceptions when implementing the stated disciplinary action. In this regard, Sheila may be held responsible and face specific consequences irrespective of her claim to have innocent intentions. Furthermore, it…

same task. In analog thermometers the temperature is represented using the rising or falling of the liquid within the tube. In the process numbers are not processed like in digital technologies. In digital thermometers data is stored using ones and zeros. This data is then read into pictures, numbers, and letters. This makes digital easier to…

normal gas” (Wikipedia). The temperature of the BEC made by Cornell and Wieman was just a few billionths of degrees above absolute zero, which is extremely cold. Absolute zero is a theoretical value of the coldest thing in existence; it is zero degrees kelvin, -273.15 degrees celsius, and -459.67 degrees fahrenheit. Because the temperature is so close to absolute zero the atoms in the sample lose all of their energy and start to clump. “The result of this clumping is the BEC. The group of…

I was talking about, but if I said 1st Baron Kelvin, many would reference the Kelvin scale because it is so well known. The Kelvin scale is the absolute temperature scale that is used world-wide today. He noted that once an object reaches absolute zero (which is the lowest temperature an object can reach) the particles stop moving completely. So instead of using negative numbers like the Celsius scale and Fahrenheit scale, Thomson decided…

classmates. Zero tolerance policies was enforced because of violence inside of schools and to treat every student fairly. However, since these policies were sanctioned it was everything but equal to the students. Students of color were far more targeted than white students when it came to disruptances or problems or even had a heavier consequence. In the article of “Tracing the School-to-Prison Pipeline from Zero-Tolerance Policies to Juvenile Justice Dispositions” Aaron Curtis explains, “A…

constant peak rate at around 11 mins for all test tubes. The data concludes that eighty degrees was the optimal temperature for the enzyme catechol oxidase; the peak value was between 3.2-3.3 nanometers. The lowest reaction rate was at temperature zero degrees celsius, the peak absorbance around 0.2-0.3…

Even today I still remember clearly what happened that fateful day. Why I did it, I’m not exactly sure but it wasn’t fun, at least for Patrick it wasn’t. I was back in 3rd grade, young, innocent, and having the time of my life. It was Spring almost Summer and it had been a decent year, nothing special but little did I know today was going to be exciting. This is when I lived in South Haven which had a population of like 10 people not including tourists. I would move to Kalamazoo in about one…
