but he says there are still limits, hard limits. Just as "there is no way to teach calculus to a chimp, or even make it understand the square root of 2," he writes, "surely there are truths as far beyond our grasp as our grasp is beyond that of a cow." He concedes that once upon a time humans were chimp-like and over time developed brains that cracked the "square root of 2" problem — but that doesn't faze him. There are properties of our universe so profoundly complex that no sentient mind, no…

Government surveillance programs, Muslim registries, and deportation squads have one essential thing in common; they are the products of xenophobic fear. Although they seem like totalitarian tactics from an Orwellian novel, they are actually inching their way in to the United States’ political discussion. The President Elect Donald Trump used xenophobia to gain support for his presidential campaign. This tactic is not new, in fact, the utilization of the narrative of foreign subversive is an…

American life during the 1800s and early 1900s had an abundance of social, political, and economic issues. Progressive and populist reformers worked to improve such complications, which can be seen during the Progressive Movement. The Progressive Movement’s success can be recognized through issues such as meat packing, women’s rights, and workers safety. Meat packing was a major issue during this time period. The factories where the meat was processed was extremely unsanitary and had unfit…

a choice. To make the environment of your home the most comfortable, you should put in the best house humidifier. You have to control the humidity if you want a comfortable household interior. There are lots of places, in which the climates in at least three seasons of the year have a lot of humidity in the air. The cold months of winter normally have inadequate humidity to allow easy breathing and restful sleep, so people counter this by placing tabletop humidifers in the bedrooms, especially…

We need heroes. People joining the Coast Guard become real-life heroes. Saving lives, also helping people on boats or ships that are in trouble. Although the U.S government faces a serious problem protecting the home front, a country, and protecting America. Protecting America before the treats hit American soil.

Summary: Three asteroids have the potential to hit Earth in the next millennia. The first two possibilities are asteroids entitled 2009 FD and RQ36, and could hit Earth in between 2175 and 2199. The asteroid 2009 FD has a one in three-hundred and sixty-five chance of hitting, which doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it it does hit, our descendants will be in trouble. RQ36 has the likliness of hitting Earth by a one in one-thousand and seven-hundred chance, but even though it seems an unlikely…

Born on June 25, 1892, General Shiro Ishii of central Japan, along with a flux of doctors and scientists from across the country, became responsible for the mutilation of at least 3,000 citizens of surrounding Asian countries during the second Sino-Japanese War and World War II by manufacturing a system of human experimentation performed in a remote location infamously known as Unit 731 (Byrd, 2005) (Mitchell, 2013). Known to the public as the “Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification…

They killed many people by disease and by just slaughtering them like they did in war. In the time that they were around they killed over 40 million people. At least 3 million of those people were killed by the diseases that the Mongols spread around the world. I mean if you think about it they just went from town to town not knowing what they are spreading and they did have another regard for other people. Even…

troop, the thing about this that was great was that the water wasn’t enough for his whole troop. So in a way it was a generous thing to do for his whole troop because of there not being a sufficient quantity of water for his whole troop to have at least one sip. My second piece of evidence is from the Legend of the headband where Alexander…
