The public’s response to the news releases ignited again the debate over the use of the death penalty for punishment of the worst offenders in society. ...

Better communication means using the same definitions. The words that are used by the petroleum industry to describe the amount of production, waste and loss are not clearly defined.

Christianity was not a popular religion than it is today. In fact, historians and theology scholars debate regarding the true nature of the Christian religion. Originally, they concluded it as a sect of Judaism1 since Jesus Christ was born a Jew. As a religious leader, He was charismatic, performed many miracles, and defended the poor as well as the oppressed. Through cultural diffusion2, the new religion gained a small but loyal group of followers such as the twelve apostles who would eventually travel the Roman Empire to preach His teachings and spread the awareness of the public to the Christian religion. History proves that ...

Before Federation (prior to 1901), Australia was not a nation; each of the British colonies was its own self-ruling state. Each had separate laws and regulations and functioned effectively as a separate country. Those colonies were: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia, the last one to join (Singleton et al. 2013, pp.55-56). According to “Federation 1890-1910” published by the government of Western Australia (n.d.), that state had delayed its decision because it had seen such rapid changes in the previous decade, including the discovery of gold and a population increase from 50,000 to near 200,000. ...

Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a framework for system design. This framework looks at all datastructures within the system as objects. These objects have attributes that define the object. Methods are used to manipulate data within these objects. Entities are external storages and human users of the system. An entity relationship model is a model that contains objects, methods and entities and their interactions with one another. Contemporary programmers use the OOP framework to design automated systems (docs.oracle.com). In this paper, we examine two key concepts of OOP and present a sample algorithm using OOP concepts. Deborah J. Armstrong proposed some ...

Gravity is precisely defined as a pulling force; it pulls objects (matter) towards it. The intensity of force is directly proportional to the quantity of matter, so the things composed of more matter tend to be pulled with greater intensity of force. The mass of any object is the fundamental unit being used to measure the quantity of matter it that object. Therefore, the more heavy and matter in the object is, the higher gravitational pull will it put forth. Earth exerts a pulling force on the objects (Human beings) that move on its surface and as a result it pulls them ...
