The Crest

The Kwakwaka’wakw bands consist of four clans (killer whale, raven, eagle, and wolf). The clans are divided by numayn (or na’ mina) which can be loosely translated as “groups of fellows of the same”. Numayns were responsible for safeguarding family crest and for conveying their specific rights. This could have included access to natural resources such as fishing areas and rights to sacred names and dances related to their ancestors or the group’s origin. The numayns were ranked and typically were the

The Johnstown flood of 1889 is often remembered as the worst disaster that was caused by dam failure in America’s history. Over 2000 lives were lost, and about 17 million dollars in property damage was done to the town of Johnstown. Many of the leading industrialists of the 19th century were members of the club that owned the South Fork dam in 1889, drawing in nationwide attention. The relief effort was one of the first huge non-wartime disasters for the American Red Cross. Once again in the years

Viewing the serotonin (as well as other neurotransmitters directly responsible for mood such as endorphins, and dopamine) levels of a bipolar patient will often resemble a sine curve—with consistent crests and troughs, and an episode refers to one crest or trough on the curve. Bipolar I disorder is similar to bipolar II, but patients typically alternate between mania and depression, rather than elevated mood (hypomania) of bipolar II. The bipolar patient typically suffers

1. a. Power– kilowatt, b. Area – acres, c. Application Rate – in/hr, d. Pressure – head, e. Depth – inches, f. Length – miles, g. Velocity – ft/sec, h. Volume – ac-in, i. Flow Rate – cu-ft/sec 2. Statements (1) and (2) refer to water volumes. Are these Net or Gross volumes? (1) Crop water use (cu-ft) = Seasonal ET (ft) x Crop area (acres) x 43,560 sq-ft/acre (2) Volume applied by system (ac-in) = Application rate (in/hr) x Irrigation time (hr) x Area (acres)

The main aim of this paper is to analyse the theme of Tadpoles and For Heidi with Blue Hair through the images that are employed by Fleur Adcock. The main aim of the researcher is to analyse the different types of images used by the poet and how it helps the reader to understand the theme of the poems. There are seven distinct types of imagery which are catergorised as visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile, kinesthetic and organic. Visual images appeal to the sense of sight. Auditory images

Walking in this Century Rebecca Solnit’s Walking and the Suburbanized Psyche stresses her concerns about the suburban wave that has plagued the world in recent times. According to her, the mind, the body, and the world have a special bond that is being vanquished by the lack of recreational walking. In the eighteenth century, there was a “golden era” for walking because recent accommodations made it possible for the general public to enjoy the untamed nature all around them. This era was short-lived

people. CIPA patients have an absence of normal responses to noxius stimuli that are in people with regular nervous systems. CIPA is the result of a defect in a neural crest differentiation and the system responsible for pain and body temperature is lost. Nociceptive neurons in the dorsal root ganglia derive from the neural crest and they can only survive if they are stimulated by NGF through TrkA. Mutations in the TrkA gene have shown a correlation with the defective development of the nociceptive

Except in the case of identical twins, the probability that two people have the same genetic code at all thirteen core loci is less than one in one trillion (Crest, 2005). Investigators compare these genetic fingerprints with profiles stored in databases of previous offenders, and if they find a match, it proves that the person was at the crime scene. DNA forensics can also narrow down suspect pools, exonerate

“There was the honest cock robin, the favorite game of the stripling sportsmen, with its loud querulous note; and the twittering blackbirds flying in the sable clouds; and the golden-winged woodpecker with his crimson crest, his broad black gorget, and splendid plumage; and the cedar bird, with its red-tipt wings and yellow-tipt tail and its little monteiro cap of feathers; and the blue jay, that noisy coxcomb, in his gay light blue coat and white underclothes, screaming

At the crest, one can feel the sensations of the droplet-filled air whipping against the body. As the water tumbles over the ledge, you can hear the falls relentlessly roaring. There are numerous vibrant views spanning the vicinity. While breathing, you can sample
