The Complete Peanuts

The hero’s journey concept has transcended cultural barriers and engraved itself into the modern culture. It traditionally follows the transformation of the weak, and often cowardly youngster, into the knight in shining armor battling through trials and temptations to restore order in society. In Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner and J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, the heroes embark on journeys that transform them from boys into heroes. However, each transformation does not follow the…

Thanksgiving I would watch my mother would put this ginormous turkey in the oven at night and then I would go to bed expecting that I could help, or at least watch when she resumed, only for me to wake up and find that the entire dinner was just about complete. I don’t know if she prepared dishes during the week or if she only pretended to go to bed so that I could get out of her way, probably the latter, but she prepared it all with no help. The tradition was that my mom would slave for hours,…

importantly, Hummingbirds can see further than an average human and hear from further distance than humans. According to Pineno during Pilfer’s condition memory was a key factor for the hummingbirds. Hummingbirds remembered to catch worms rather then peanuts. If this case was related to humans and they had to pick food they would pick any dish. But the birds remembered to pick to worms after long periods of time. They also remembered where they stored the worms for later use. They’re memory is…

I completed my water fast yesterday. I fasted for 17 days and 3 hours, which is longer than I’ve ever fasted before. This post is a summary of the experience, building upon what I shared on Day 6 of the fast. Motivation This isn’t the same world people lived in 100 years ago. The unfortunate truth is that we now live in an environment filled with toxins that our bodies weren’t evolved to efficiently eliminate. These toxins include pesticides, herbicides, pollution, heavy metals, plastics,…

outlay at first. They may include such things as a freestanding greenhouse for indoors, special lighting, self watering, a source of warmth and air circulation for optimal growing. You don’t even need a indoor gardening for dummies book or the complete idiot’s guide to urban farming. I highly recommend something like the MIRACLE-GRO AEROGARDEN you can be an instant green-thumb. Grow and harvest your very own organic, pesticide, herbicide free, non-GMO fresh gourmet herbs, vegetables, salad…

1.5. Enzyme-Polysaccharide Interactions Proteins and enzymes have become an integral part of many industrial processes as well as being applied both in cosmetics and in therapeutics. Due to advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering, mass production of protein and enzymes has become feasible. Use of enzymes is environmentally friendly as they catalyse reactions under mild conditions against polluting inorganic catalysts which works in the extremes of pH and temperature. However, this can…

The hermit set out of camp at midnight, carrying his backpack and his bag of break-in tools, and threaded through the forest, rock to root to rock, every step memorized. Not a boot print left behind. It was cold and nearly moonless, a fine night for a raid, so he hiked about an hour to the Pine Tree summer camp, a few dozen cabins spread along the shoreline of North Pond in central Maine. With an expert twist of a screwdriver, he popped open a door of the dining hall and slipped inside, scanning…

It is inserted into the equation simply to give a positive solution at the origin; we are artificially creating a solution: 2x1 + 4x2 - s1 + A1 = 16 2(0) + 4(0) - 0 + A1 = 16 A1 = 16 The artificial variable is somewhat analogous to a booster rocket—its purpose is to get us off the ground; but once we get started, it has no real use and thus is discarded. The artificial solution helps get the simplex process started, but we do not want it to end up in the optimal solution, because it has no real…

INTRODUCTION This book initially began as a commentary on my Facebook page, entitled, “Do Animals Go to Heaven?” It was the product of a question asked of me by our church youth. Several within the adult congregation disagreed with me. However I presented scripture as well as sound teachings. When I asked what their scriptural denial to my stance was, the reply I received was, “It’s in there somewhere,” referring to the Bible. Their incorrectly held beliefs were based on personal “feelings” and…
