... to your candle you may also want to include crayons, glitter, fragrant oils, etc. To begin you must prepare a mold. I’ve found that many materials around the house serve as excellent molds such as empty orange juice containers, paper cups, toilet paper rolls, and drink containers. Always make sure that the mouth is the same size if not wider that the base, allowing your candle to slide out easily. You don’t want your mold to have any ridges such as in a soup can. Oil the inside of your mold for easier removal of the candle. Now we must set up the double broiler. Never heat wax directly in a pot since wax is difficult to remove and burns easily when place ...

... as God? In order to determine the answer we must start by understanding the ways in which we can conclude an objects’ existence. Descartes explains three ways in which a person might come to such a conclusion – the first, through nature; the second, through feeling a value that is independent of the will of the object; and the third, the objective reality of an idea, or the “cause and effect profile.” The third point is the one that we will primarily spend our time with. Descartes drills us with the idea that an object will have an effect when it stems from a legitimate cause, or an initial idea that precedes with equal or superior pro ...

After the first two Fibonacci numbers, every number in the sequence equals the sum of the two previous numbers. is called a recursive sequence because each number is a function of the proceeding two numbers, both of which change as the sequence progresses. (1) The formula for Fibonacci numbers is: Fn=Fn-1. (4) To show his sequence he often created interesting problems or stories. Probably his most famous problem is this one: A man bought a pair of rabbits on Jan. 1st, and bred them. The pair produced one pair of young after one month, on Feb. 1st, and a second pair after the second month, on March 1st. Then they stopped breeding. Each new pair a ...

... might not be welcome. I believe that the immigrants are not necessarily taking jobs away from the American worker. Those occupations that the immigrants possess are truly illegal for any employer to employ any American. The job sights include unsanitary conditions, dangerous equipment use without proper safety precautions, extremely long working days, and less than minimum wage for average pay. There is not one citizen in this country that would stand for such an outrageous environment to work in. Many would go directly to an inspection board to have the factory/plant evaluated to see if the factory could pass any sort of inspection. Hence, the factory/plant ...

... amazing pictures displayed were not only of common birds such as the Wren, House Sparrow, and Woodpecker, but, more interestingly, of less common birds like the very unsociable Toucan, and the wonderfully colored Macaw. Birds may be his passion, but Tom Ulrich captured many other great animals on film. There were huge cats such as the Cheetah, Lion, and the Leopard lying in the sun. He photographed Elephants, Elk, and a female Grizzly Bear playing with her two cubs. There were also remarkable shots of male Bighorn Sheep trying to prove themselves to the females by fighting each other. Every time their large heads with the long, winding horns would strike toge ...

... disease. Smoking-related illnesses kill more than 400,000 Americans each year. That's more people than the amount of people killed by AIDS, car accidents, alcohol, homicides, fires and suicides combined. And the real tragedy is that these are preventable. The tobacco companies target teenagers with their advertising campaigns, as they know the teen years are when smokers are made. In 1992, the tobacco industry spent $5.23 billion advertising its products, up from $3.13 billion in 1985. The only industry that spends more on advertising is the automobile industry. The sheer magnitude of advertising creates the impression among young people that smoking is much m ...

... language skills needed for cognitive and academic pursuits," the students are transitioned into classes which are taught in English (Sjoerdsma 504K2721). This is, of course, how bilingual education should work in theory. This is not, however, the case. Critics of bilingual education say that "the objectives of the classes are confused, the quality of instruction is poor," and the "transition" time, when students transition into regular classes, is murky (Schrag 14). Critics believe that the goals of bilingual education have been forgotten and replaced with the need to "preserve native culture and traditions" (Rothstein 627). In fact, the major defense from ...

Examples are the navigation of a submarine and intelligent long-range missiles. What most people associates with computers and war may be various simulation and action games.

... and how much are bought. Advertising "symbolizes and concentrates in its image all that is considered good and bad in present day commercial and industrial capitalism in America." (Bensman 9). When advertisers plan their strategies for the sale of a certain product, they look at who would use the item. If the product was make-up, the type of person that would use it would most likely be a woman, around the age of thirteen and up. The advertisers would then find an ideal looking woman to model for ads to show the makeup on a person and try to get women to use it. The way that the advertisers describe the model will also get your attention; they might say that she i ...
