A Look at the History of CSI

Dynell Trudell Saint Leo University Abstract “Forensic science” is the applying of science to civil and criminal laws. “Forensic Scientists” assemble, conserve, as well as examine scientific proof throughout the way of an investigation. A few “Forensic Scientists” actually go out to the scene to gather the proof themselves; but rather engage a laboratory position, performing studies on subjects brought to their place by other people. Furthermore, “Forensic Scientists” give proof as unique observers in all cases and may work for either the resistance or the indictment. This paper will show the development of Crime Scene Investigation techniques and ...

The treatise "Sun Tzu", the authorship of which, according to general belief, belongs to the famous military commander Sun Wu, has long been revered in China as the chief military canon. The title of "canonical" means, among other things, that the book is intended for not easy and superficial reading, but slow and in-depth, for memorization, almost soaking it in oneself to the last word. For "canon" in China - as in every cultural tradition - it is ultimately nothing else than a literary image of the infinite diversity of the creative abundance of life itself. It does not contain ...

Abstract

Cars have always played an important role in the course of human development. In the past, man had a vision to introduce an invention to transport people along long distances. To turn the vision of a self-propelling automobile into reality, it took the development of a reliable combustion engine that operated on liquid fuel. In 1672, the first steam-powered vehicle as a toy for the Chinese emperor was built by Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China. As the automobile industry grew, so did the rate of environmental pollution. Car engines are considered to be the prime source of air pollution. The ...

The article The Early History of the Guitar by Christopher Page in my opinion is an accurate depiction of the role and the rise of the early romantic guitar. The author’s depiction of the magnitude of the effects of the guitar in the early ages is entirely correct. The author says that the guitar is superior to the piano and the violin because of the fact that it covers more musically than the former and it can be learnt faster than the latter (Page, 2014). The guitar is arguably the most relevant musical instrument in the world today. ...

This religion, in the IV century, after the division of the Roman Empire into the Eastern and the Western, has taken concrete shape of Catholicism with its unique philosophy and religious views. Ancient religious ideas of ...

Periodically throughout the last two millennia or so, Pagans, or followers of classical polytheisms found themselves facing oppression or persecution. As the influence of Christianity grew, the term “pagan” was used to broadly describe any non-Christians. Attempts to suppress Paganism successfully erased many Pagan rituals and demolished or covered sacred sites, but early Christianity was far from uniform between different regions and different blendings of Paganism and Christianity occasionally emerged. Examining varied pagan traditions and beliefs and understanding the interaction between Paganism and Judaism and Christianity and Paganism when Christianity was a young religion allows greater insight into some traditions ...

How Persecution Lead to the Early Church’s Growth

Throughout the history of the Catholic Church, persecution is a familiar face especially in its early years. The Bible, for one, had reflected as to how persecution shook the foundation of the Early Christians from the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament to the Book of Revelations in the New Testament. While the stories have varied in its severity on how Christians have been persecuted, it is notable that they continued to grow in small communities and eventually turned into communities still present in the period despite the torture and hardship they have faced while spreading the word of ...
