Jesus is the son of God who was sent by God on earth to redeem mankind from his sinful nature (John 3:16). He was on the earth about 2000yrs ago. He was given power and authority by God and performed many miracles and wonders. He healed the sick, he raised the dead, he cast out demons from the people who were possessed, he cleansed the lepers, he forgave sins, and showed mercy and kindness to all, among many other good things that he did. Many people believed what he taught and followed him whereas others hated him for all that he did. Jesus’ ministry work has been recorded in the Bible in the 4 books of Apostles -Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus is revealed differently in the book of Mark and Luke though they ultimately reveal Jesus as the messiah who was sent to redeem the people back to God. The book of Luke portrays Jesus in genuine humanity – how he lived and reveals the work of the Holy Spirit whereas the book of Mark portrays Jesus as a teacher. The book of Luke commences by explaining who Jesus was and how he came to the world. This description is quite interesting and captivating as his conception is divine in nature. Luke, a physician writes that the virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus is told by God that she would conceive and bear a son by the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke1:35) This is divine as we know that in the physical, life is conceived after fertilization of a female egg by a male egg following copulation. The divine Son ship of Jesus interests a person to try to read more about Jesus. The circumcision of Jesus on the 8 th day further reveals the genuine humanity of Jesus. This is also interesting as earlier Luke say that he’s God’s Son, the messiah who will reign (Luke 1:21-22). We know that God himself is a supernatural being who is not like a man and so God’s son having a man’s features shows the power and divinity of God. The book of Mark begins by stating that when he arrived in Galilee….clearly states that Jesus was a man (he walked) and was heading somewhere to accomplish a certain mission. The way the book begins is not as appealing as the book of Luke because a reader would expect this ‘normal” man not to do anything supernatural. The humanity and the compassion of Jesus reveal him as the ideal Savior. In the book of Luke, there are many situations where Jesus identifies with people in real-life situations and works miracles in those situations, for example, He turns water into wine at the wedding in Cana, he heals the lepers, he raises Jairu’s daughter, he weeps, he feeds his followers and disciples, he heals a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years, he healed the lame, the blind and the deaf, and he casts out the demons. His work is quite appealing as Jesus is seen identifying with the pain and the sorrow of the people and did this to accomplish his mi
Abstract Ward House was constructed between 1873 and 1875. The building is located in Rye Brook in New York. It was constructed and owned by William Ward. Ward House is a significant historical site since it is the oldest concrete building in the US. Ward House was constructed using reinforced concrete rather than modern building materials such as bricks and glass. The building consists of four floors, which have a total of 17 spacious rooms. Undoubtedly, different materials would be used to construct the building if it were to be built today. These include steel, glass, and molding materials. Also, modern construction equipment such as cranes would be used at the construction site. Introduction Ward House is one of the most important landmarks in New York, USA. The building was the first to be built in the US using reinforced concrete. The successful completion of Ward House brought revolutionary changes in the US construction industry since it led to the use of concrete rather than wood as the main building material. Currently, Ward House is used as a recreational facility that attracts thousands of tourists annually. This paper will focus on the construction of Ward House. It will highlight the materials, methods, tools, and equipment that were used to construct the building. When, Where, and Size Ward House is located in Rye Brook in New York. The building was constructed in a residential area at the border between New York and Connecticut (ASCE). The compound is located off Comly Avenue and can easily be accessed by road. Although the building is considered to be in New York, part of its 8-acre compound is located in Connecticut (Spielvogel 123). Ward House is held in high esteem in the US due to the architectural breakthrough that was achieved during its construction. As the first concrete building in the US, Ward House is a symbol of the country’s civilization and engineering prowess. The construction of Ward House began in 1873 and ended in 1875 (ASCE). The building
There is a substantial variety of sensors that differ in the values that they respond to and the technologies through which they operate. Resistive sensors are considered one of the most popular types because of their simplicity, which comes from their design. Its principle of operation is measuring the electrical resistance of a particular element, responding to changes in it via the different voltage produced. The resistance R can be calculated using the following formula: R = p*l/ A, where   * p – is the electrical resistivity of the material,   * l – is its length, and   * A – is its area [1]. When the resistive element is altered in some way, its resistance changes and the sensor records this difference. The simplicity and broad applicability of the approach have led resistive sensors to be used in large numbers of engineering applications. The resistance of an object can be altered in a number of ways, and for most of these methods, there is a dedicated type of sensor. They are differentiated into four domains: geometrical (linear displacement, angle, strain), mechanical (force, torque, pressure, acceleration), magnetic (magnetic field), thermal (temperature), and optical (light flux) [2]. Of particular interest to this paper are sensors that deal with force, torque, and pressure, otherwise known as piezoresistors. They use materials that are responsive to stress, such as metals, alloys, and doped silicon. These substances are prone to deformation under pressure, causing their resistance to change. Generally, the following formula is used to describe the change: ΔR/ R0 = Gε, where   * ΔR – is the change in resistance,   * R0 – is resistance when not stressed,   * G – is the piezoresistive gauge factor, and   * ε – is the applied strain [3]. While piezoresistors can be manufactured from a large array of different materials, silicon is the most sophisticated and widely used for complex implementations. Through the usage of silicon, the size of the sensor can be minimized while retaining a substantial base resistance value, which is necessary to distinguish legitimate changes from fluctuations. Silicon also has a number of other advantages, but it struggles with temperatures above 150 degrees Celsius, for which materials such as SOI, pSOI, SOS, and SiC have been developed [4]. Through the minimization of the sensor, it can be used for a number of different applications, such as gyroscopes. Currently, capacitive sensors are preferred over piezoresistive ones for that application because of their superior sensitivity and resolution [5]. However, with recent advances in piezoresistive sensor technology, gyroscopes based on it may warrant consideration again. The purpose of a gyroscope is to maintain a device’s orientation and angular velocity. The model proposed in [6] uses four microscopic piezoelectric gauges, two of which detect Coriolis motion while the other two sense drive motion, which is one possible example. The formula for such a device would be
Economics is a difficult science, which, however, allows people to see how their activities will affect the market, the prices and demand levels of certain products (Mankiw, 2008). The below-presented table demonstrates how demand for Barbeque Dinners and total revenue retrieved from their sale are interrelated. Moreover, the table manifests the elasticity of demand as the prominent factor in its marketing and defines the three types of elasticity. Price  Quantity Demand  Total Revenue  Elasticity Coefficient  Elastic or Inelastic $4     100              $400           xxxx                    xxxx                 6      80               480            5                       Elastic              8      60               480            7                       Inelastic            10     40               400            9                       Elastic              12     20               240            11                      Elastic              14     1                14             13                      Elastic               The total revenue is calculated by the simple multiplication of the good price for the quantity of the goods sold (Mankiw, 2008). Thus, we can observe the change of total revenue with the change of price and demand levels. Accordingly, the total revenue gave the price equaling $4 and demand amounting to 100 dinners will be $400; if the price rises to $6 and demand fall to 80 dinners, the total revenue will amount to $480. However, the change of price and demand to $8 and 60 dinners respectively causes no change to the total revenue which remains at the level of $480, and only the further price increase to $10 accompanied with the falling of demand to 40 dinners returns the total revenue to its initial level of $400. After the price increases to $12, the demand falls to 20 dinners which bring only $240 of total revenue, while the further increase of price reduces total revenue to $14 only. Based on these data, it is possible to calculate the elasticity coefficients for each price interval beginning from the relation of $4 and $6 prices. To calculate the elasticity coefficient, the midpoints formula should be used. Its essence lies in averaging and dividing the two endpoints of a segment in two to retrieve the middle points between them (Mankiw, 2008): M = x + y /2, where M refers to the middle point, while X denotes the first endpoint of the segment, and Y denotes the second one. Accordingly, the calculations of the given intervals of prices will look as fol

The play is really though-provoking, intensely moving, whereby it is of great depth as well as dazzle and fun. The author, Alan Bennet has demonstrated his expertise in play writing through the interesting and fascinating nature of the play. It is worth noting that the play is immensely funny and deep-wrought whereby nothing cloud can diminish its incendiary achievement. The core theme addressed by the author is the meaning of education. This theme has been perfectly presented by the author through the brilliantly funny characters and smooth plot. These phenomenons make the play moving, disquieting and heart brimful. The play represents the real happenings in the school setup, whereby unruly behavior of students is demonstrated. This has been demonstrated to have had significant impact on education and the overall operations in the school setting. The play has provided an explicit overview of the real nature of the school setup. In this case, the staffroom rivalry as well as the anarchy of adolescence is demonstrated. The nature of instructing history as well as its core nature has been explored in the play. The play has also sought to demonstrate the concept of education and its purpose. The play revolves on the unruly behavior of the students in the learning institutions. In this case, the unruly bunch of bright boys who are identified as funny sixth-forth boys in great pursuit of sport and sex is illustrated. The place of the students in the universities also offered a special attention by the author. The development and nature of the play, “The History Boys” is really admirable and eye catching to the audience. The play has proved to be thought-provoking, funny and hugely successful. To begin with, the characters in the film have been professionally presented in undertaking their various roles. The characters are beautifully created and lovable. This makes the play interesting to watch and read about. This is evident from the confused homosexual youth posner to the obsessed with league results, and the stresses icy headmaster. Each of the characters has been able to demonstrate their roles with great humor and expertise thus making the play to be interesting. The amusing comments and witty one liner have contributed in making the play extremely amusing. This has also made it deeply serious whereby the purpose and issues concerning education have been outlined. The theme issues of inevitable competition and homosexuality among the youth in educational context has been efficiently presented by the characters and admirable plot of the play. The phrase, “History Boys” is used symbolically to refer to thousands of hopeful Oxbridge candidates each year who demonstrate the lows and highs of studying and the joy of learning. This aspect has made the play a timeless jem. The play is highly thought provoking as presented by the distinct traits of the characters. For instance, the character of teacher Hector is portrayed as a great conviction is extremely impressiv
Introduction The objective of this experiment is to determine the amounts of the component parts of hydrated copper (II) Sulfate. These components are: water, sulfate ions and copper ions. The experiment aims at determining the empirical formula of hydrated copper (II) sulfate. Empirical formula is the smallest numeral ratio of atoms that are in a compound. Gravimetric analysis is the methodology that will be used in determining the empirical formula of copper (II) sulfate. In this methodology, the compound being analyzed is reacted with another substance to form a solid compound. The reaction employed is such that it is possible to know the components of the products. Three procedures are performed in this experiment and the first one is the analysis of the copper ions. Here, the hydrated copper (II) sulfate is reacted with oxine to form a complex called copper (II). Because we know the makeup of the complex we can get the amount of copper ions that were in the initial sample of the copper sulfate (hydrated).In getting amount of water in the hydrated copper (II) sulfate a sample is heated to drive off all the water. The water present is the difference in mass, if the sample mass is measured before heating and after heating. The third procedure is the scrutiny of sulfate ion in a sample of copper sulfate (hydrated). Here, the hydrated copper sulfate is reacted with barium chloride to form barium sulfate. Experimental methods Scrutiny of copper ions by precipitating the hydrated copper (II) sulfate with oxine Oxine is an 8-hydroxy-quinoline organic compound. When reacted with Cu (II) or other metallic ions it behaves like a monoprotic acid and a metal complex is formed. The composition of the complex formed when hydrated copper (II) sulfate is reacted with oxine is Cu (C 9 H 6 ON) 2 with 351.85g/mole formula weight. The following steps are followed:  1. Approximately 3g hydrated copper sulfate is weighed to the closest milligram.  2. The copper sulfate is dissolved in 100ml of water that is distilled and contained in a big beaker.  3. 5ml of acetic acid (glacial) is added and 1.5g of ammonium acetate is also added.  4. The solution is heated in a hot plate toward approximately 75 0 C.  5. 3% oxine (in ethanol and water in the ratio 95:5) is added drop wise while stirring awaiting completion of the precipitation and the reagent is in excess. Approximately 17-20 milliliters of the oxine solution are needed for this experiment.  6. For 5 minutes, and at 65-70 0 C the mixture is heated and then stirred vigorously, after which the precipitate is allowed to settle. If adequate reagent is used the resultant liquid will be orange-yellow or yellow in color.  7. A filter paper is folded and weighed and a beaker is labeled with grease pencil.  8. The filter paper is placed in a glass funnel placed on an Erlenmeyer flask.  9. A large amount of the liquid is decanted i
Path Dependence in systems engineering and integration According to Posner this concept of path dependence can be traced to the economist view. Based on this viewpoint it is thus believed that where we end up is often dictated by where we began despite the fact that this end point may not be the most suitable (Posner 156). In relation to systems engineering the best know example of this concept is observed when we consider the typewriter keyboard. It has been reported that the main cause of the current design was to limit the speed of typing while preventing the jamming of keys (Posner 156). However it has been noted that the advent of electric typewriters and word processing effectively brought an end to jamming of keys while the user is still stuck with the old keyboard. The reasons for this can be attributed to costs of reaching an agreement with manufacturers on a new keyboard and the retraining of millions of people who have grown accustomed to the old keyboard (Posner 156). Based on these factors it can be assumed that path dependence will be maintained when costs are high in relation to benefits and the transition requires a significant degree of coordination (Posner 156). This is especially so because though there may be significant benefits associated with change, the overwhelming task and cost of bringing about behavior change in a large group may outweigh these perceived benefits. Based on the profound implications of this allegation path dependence has become a widely debated issue. It has been argued that due to path dependence consumers may be duped into purchasing inferior merchandise (Liebowitz and Margolis 228). It has thus become crucial that any myths or misconceptions into the role of path dependence be dispelled as the government may begin to intervene with a view to ‘saving’ consumers (Liebowitz and Margolis 228). Arguments regarding Path Dependence In light of the implications of path dependence it is crucial that we assess the arguments for and against this principle to avoid any further misunderstandings. The main examples cited by defendants of the path dependence theory are related to the typewriter keyboard and VHS vs. Beta video cassettes (Liebowitz and Margolis 229). It has been mentioned that the QWERTY keyboard was designed to slow down typists and prevent the jamming of keys. During this era, typing competitions were popular and the QWERTY keyboard managed to gain prowess during this era due to its ability to prevent jamming of keys. Based on
Microsoft Excel is suitable for solving various tasks related to storing, processing, and analyzing data sets. The program offers modern tools for creating simple and pivot tables, importing information, performing calculations using complex mathematical formulas, analyzing statistics, and visualizing it in graphs and charts. It also allows you to automate repetitive operations and calculations using VBS scripts. It is possible to create spreadsheets in Excel from templates or from scratch. The program contains many ready-made document templates, including various invoices, reports, journals, expense sheets, and invoices. Users can design the required Excel diagrams themselves and save them in XLTX format. Microsoft Excel has the necessary set of tools for analyzing large amounts of data imported into the application from various external sources: databases, web services, CSV files, and XML. The program provides data visualization tools in charts of multiple types: line tables, bar graphs, pie, scatter, block, and more complex schemes for in-depth analysis. Microsoft Office Excel provides economic and statistical calculations, graphics tools, and macro programming language Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Closely integrated with Office Online and Microsoft OneDrive, Excel offers advanced spreadsheet collaboration and real-time data editing. It becomes possible to work with Excel files both on a computer and from a mobile device. While working with these applications, I learned Excel skills such as conditional formatting, sparklines, autocomplete, analysis pack, and Power Query add-in, and discovered the analytical power of PivotTables and Power Pivot Data Models. Moreover, I learned how to create my own VBA macros, add controls to worksheets, and tried working with Excel events. To gain the necessary skills, I worked with sample workbook files that can be downloaded from the Microsoft website.
Project Performance Measurement Metrics The broad objectives of the work of any project manager are the delivery of a project on time, within budget, and within the quality criteria. These objectives provide the basis for the development of performance measurement metrics for any project. The following five metrics will be applied to the performance measurement of the Xemba Translations Project. The first metric is the measurement of the budgeted cost of labor versus actual cost of labor. While general metric dealing with all costs would still provide some information, the nature of labor in this project calls for proper accounting for its use. The human resource for this project came with a price tag. The hourly pay model gives a clear indication of what it costs the company to motivate human resource commitement to the project. The measurement for this metric will be the number of hours billed versus the number of hours in the project plan. The project will be performing poorly if the budgeted hours are less than the hours actually used in the project for the designated work packages. The second metric is similar to the first one, although it is related to the cost of acquisitions. It measures the budgeted versus the actual cost of acquisitions. This metric needs monitoring because of the expected increase in the cost of acquisitions. This expectation arose from the realization that the company will need twelve more computers to complete the project. The measurement of the metric will be similar to the method used to measure staff performance. This is the calculation of the money actually spent on acquisitions versus the money budgeted. If more money goes to the acquisitions compared to the money in the budget for that purpose, then the project will be off budget. The third metric to be used in the measurement of project performance will be the variance between the scheduled versus the actual time spent on the activities of the project. The deadline for the project is the beginning of the third quota. A failure to keep time will have consequences for the company’s operations. This measure will come from the Gantt charts for the project, which show the amount of time needed to complete the project. A related metric will be the task completion rate. This metric will combine the Gantt chart values with time indicators to determine whether the project stakeholders are handling their tasks as planned. The task completion rate will help determine whether the pace of the project at any time is commensurate to the targets set to complete these tasks. This metric, calculated weekly, will give a value indicating the pace of the project. The project is currently behind schedule and there is need to
