Gravity hills

made the decision before going that I would follow Eihei Dogan’s quote and “To forget the self is to be awakened by all things” this way I would have a clear mind of my experience. The center is in a tranquil setting in a Victorian house tucked up a hill surrounded by aged trees. I arrived early thus allowing time to read over the instructions for beginners posted on the front door. Other novices began to trickle up the walk until there was about fifteen of us. The student teacher opened the…

To my fellow college colleagues: Creationist and Evolutionist Is there really evidence that proves the world wide flood actually happened that is written about in the book of Genesis? The Bible tells us of the Great Flood, how it covered the whole earth. (Gen 17:7 [NKJV]) “Now the flood was on the earth forty days.

principle, they did not possess the technical skills required to build pumps to pressurize water pipes. A geographic problem that the Roman engineers faced was that the sources for the aqueducts were more than 20 km east; across a plain, and in the hills, as can be seen in the satellite map in Figure 2. This would create a technical challenge, maintaining positive water pressure while negotiating the terrain. {Frontinus…

Newton was born on Christmas day in…

Imagine life on earth versus life in space. I can remember myself dreaming of the day that I would be in a space shuttle, awaiting take off hoping to leave all my worries behind. Just as Tom in the “Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams, I too was looking for a way to escape my life. I have always been fascinated by space and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. As a child, I kept a collection of aliens, stars, and spaceships. Through these figurines, I was able to act out my dreams and…

Wind energy has been perceived as the next big energy source. Wind companies try to make consumers believe that this is the answer for the future, but research into wind energy demonstrates that coal or other forms of conventional power plants are needed. Coal plants have been shutting down due to the Clean Air Act, our country can not be sustained by wind energy. Some people speculate that nuclear should be the answer. Although wind energy is a well known renewable energy source, it has raised…

The company changed the way it compensated employees. So, in the summer of 2001, Sandra quit. The company’s return policy gave their customers, refunds for any reason. As workers, our commission for doing the work was taken back, so there was always a subtraction on my paychecks for refunds. If you were counting on a $550 paycheck, but including refunds, your paycheck may go to $400, with taxes, $320. It was hard to plan a budget. I became the team’s photographer, so it became my team. I carried…

Civil Engineering in Rome Engineering was a profession in Rome, and almost all of the things that were engineered would today fall under the category of civil engineering. They constructed many things throughout their time as an empire. With such an extensive empire, they had to make sure they could take care of the people in their empire. The roads ensured that they could get military personnel throughout the empire as quickly as possible. Aqueducts brought much needed water to big cities were…
