renaissance and the trans-Atlantic slave trade that was characterised by the massive loss of African lives greatly in the Gold Coast. African who resisted to be involved in the slave trade were tortured and some were killed e.g. the battle of Waterberg in Namibia 1904 perhaps it is from these occurrences where we can conclude that colonialists are the powers that underdeveloped…

The World Bank defines poverty as a deprivation in the well-being; saying that is the standard that permits a person to be able to maintain the capacity to have good health, to increase the possibility to have a good level of education or to have enough food. In opposite, side this can also be the definition of well-being adding that is instead to have the capacity and the resources to enjoy all does things; measured on the income of a person. (p527) Knowing the definition of poverty is not…

PetroSA, who uses the current natural gas output into its liquid-fuel synthesis production. This makes for plenty of room for another business to come in and generate power using coal made natural gas. With availability of natural gas in Mozambique and Namibia, plus the gas reserves discovered in South Africa, the gas industry is going under expansion. In addition to LPG, South Africa has produced 930,000 tons of natural gas and accounts for 1.5% of total primary energy…

Literature review This section will review related literature from various sources such as books, internet and circulars. The literature will only look at gender based violence.

This part presents the theories and conceptual issues as well as the empirical reviews that drive the study. With respect to the theories, cultural theory of poverty, the entitlement theory and human capital theory form the theoretical framework of the study; thus, laying the foundation for this research. The combination of these theories was necessary because each one of them alone is insufficient in explaining beneficiaries’ utilisation of social cash transfers. They, therefore, complemented…

Prior to the Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) there was little oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygenation of the atmosphere occurred in two steps, at the beginning and end of the Proterozoic eon (Frei, et al., 2013). In the GOE the surface oceans began to become oxygenated (Holland, 2006). The Second stage of oxygenation is known as the Neoproterozoic Oxygenation Event (NOE) and occurred after the 650-635Ma in the Marinoan glaciation (Sahoo, et al., 2012) (Feulner & Kienert, 2014). The NOE is thought to…

Newton’s 3 laws of Motion 1. If a body is as rest it remains at rest or, if it is in motion, it moves with uniform velocity, until it is acted on by a resultant force. 2. Acceleration is dependent on the forces acting upon an object and the mass of the object. Therefore, if the force is increased, the acceleration is increased. And the more mass the object has, the more acceleration decreases. So the resultant force (F) is equal to mass (m) times acceleration (a) (F = ma). 3. For every action,…

(1451-1506). On the morning of Oct. 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus stepped ashore on an island in what has since become known as the Americas. The arrival of his ships in the Western Hemisphere was one of the pivotal events in world history. It opened up a new world for Europeans and initiated the spread of Western civilization to a new hemisphere. But if these lands were a new world for Europeans, they were a very old world for the inhabitants Columbus and his successors encountered. Cultures…
