Cornell University, Country in Arial 9 Roxanne Grenier North America Abstract As of 2014, 38 million people worldwide have been driven out of their own homes by internal instabilities, armed conflict, and outbreaks of violence. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) alone accounts for 2.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). In response, relief-driven charitable practices have consequently created a condition of permanent impermanence, perpetuating the problem of dependency, unemployment, and instability. This forced movement of culturally and geographically heterogeneous groups evokes questions of housing stability: How does migration impact the social, economic, and political standing of the refugees? Given ...

Abstract

The objective of this experiment is examination of diffraction and interference of visible light when it is passed across narrow double and single slits. In order to do so, the diffraction patterns of light will be investigated through collection of pertinent data relating to the distance between pattern’s centres and maxima. Of particular interest in this experiment is the varying intensity of light and respective positions on the display screen as ascertained trough measurement and calculation of width and separation distances for respective patterns. The experiment concludes by highlighting the wave attributes of visible light as manifested in ...

Introduction

The purpose of this experiment was to observe the diffraction patterns formed by laser light passing through a single slit and verify the position of minima and determine the position matches with the theoretically predicted position. This was ascertained by comparing the value calculated slit width with selected slit width of 0.04mm. It was hypothesized that there would be variations in calculated value and selected value.

Materials

- Track and screen from Basic Optic System (OS-8515) - Diode laser (OS-8525) - Single Slit Disk (OS-8523) - White paper - Metric rule

Procedure

The laser was placed at one ...

Composition 201 Gaining New Ideas from “Working the Fringes” According to Brent Cunningham in his article, "Working the Fringes," "working the fringes isn't about advocacy but ideas" (Cunningham 2). Cunningham argues further that "working the fringes" or covering stories which are not primarily the focus of mainstream media helps to generate new ideas in response to dealing the various problems which are posed in the twenty-first century. Although this might be true to an extent, I wonder whether or not "working the fringes" will be effective in gaining the attention of a mainstream audience ...

In the article “working the fringes” by Brent Cunningham, he states that “the nation could use more “out there” journalism. The center has grown too complacent. The trick, of course, is to find creative ways of working the fringes and connecting the dots” (Cunningham para 6). He basically posits that journalism needs a new way forward by having a new attitude towards mainstream journalism. While this statement seems to be true in many ways, it makes one wonder whether the current journalism has lost its touch with objectivity and thus spiraled far from its roles. Cunningham begins with an appraisal ...

One of USSOUTHCOM priority mission is Countering international organized crime (C-TOC). Describe and discuss the future requirements of Counterintelligence in C-TOC

Introduction

Counterintelligence refers to the known business of always distinguishing and managing foreign postulated threats directed towards the country. Its fundamental concern is the sagacity administrations of foreign states and comparable associations of non-state performers. A good example in line with the stated fact is the transnational terrorist cohorts that are out to hamper the desired harmony in nations. Counterintelligence works out both as a guarding measure that ensures the country's mysteries and holdings against foreign brainpower entrance and as a ...

In the old Jewish culture, the Jews used to worship and perform rites in a temple. The Jerusalem Temple built by King Solomon as an abode for the Ark of the Covenant was the primary place of veneration to God by the Jews. Unfortunately, the magnificent Jerusalem Temple was demolished by the Babylonians. It was reconstructed by Herod though smaller but was destroyed again by the Romans and never been rebuilt since. The Ark of the Covenant, which was lost in the destruction of Solomon’s temple, has never been recovered to date. After the destruction of the two ...
