.... and portrays a special connection between organic forms of the natural world and the spirit. In this special piece of art, Georgia O’Keeffe used somewhat a chromatic way of coloring by using all kind of brown tones, but she adds some gold color. She does an excellent use of the shading process. She darkens the contours of the shapes, but she also leaves diffused white spots. This combination of dark shades and light created by the white spots gives the vision of depth, especially where she diffused the shadows, like under or below the objects. If I compare Georgia O’Keeffe’s Dark Rocks design, to Severin Roesen’s .....

.... Church believed strongly in the powers of God and the Holy Ghost. It was thought that God controlled the entire universe, from life to death, from the Creation to Doomsday. At this point in time, the earth was the center of the universe, with all of planets and stars surrounding it. This belief, originated from the Church, was called the heliocentric theory. However, as in every civilization, there were small groups of people who refused to believe what the Church was telling them. The Church was not necessarily telling them lies; they were simply dominating religion over common reason and intellectuality. Clearly, .....

.... Jujitsu was the Samurai’s main set of combat techniques, after the sword. Jujitsu was a part of the Samurai’s fighting skills, something he could use when he was unable to use his favourite weapon. There are many different styles of Jujitsu that exist around the world, and many different ways to actually spell the name. The original spelling derived directly from the Japanese was Jujitsu. As the popularity and practice of this martial art spread across Europe, the spelling and pronunciation was forced to change. This occurred during World War II, when the name Jujitsu had to be changed to Jiu-jitsu (pronounced Jeeu-jits .....

.... in India. When his father refused, Siddartha stood in one place for days on end, until his father agreed. So Siddartha left his enclosed palace and set out on his own. Not long after he started his venture out of his home, Siddartha ran across four things he had never seen before. These four things were to be called the four signs. The four signs were; old age, sickness, death, and true serenity. These four men were really gods put there so Siddartha could learn what else lies beyond the pure luxury that he knows so well. Siddartha soon realized that the first three men stood for the presence of suffering, and t .....

.... crack cocaine's origins in South Central Los Angeles. This paper will critically examine some of the speeches, press release, letter and other documents by Rep. Maxine Waters in her quest to "…punish those responsible for creating the devastating drug addition sales, gun-running, violence, and death associated with crack cocaine throughout this nation" (press release 9/5/96). Before I perform a critical analysis, I will examine the history of CIA complicity in drug trafficking which has led up to the allegation by Waters and others. I will also examine Waters' ideology. I will then go into great detail about how the Rheto .....

.... the country into decades of debilitating wars, conspiracies, and despotism that drained its resources and undermined its efforts to establish liberal constitutional rule. In the late 1980s, the republic was still struggling to emerge from the shadow of the ultimate Dominican caudillo, Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina (1930-61), who emerged from the military and held nearly absolute power throughout his rule. The apparent establishment of a democratic process in 1978 was a promising development; however, the survival of democracy appeared to be closely linked to the country's economic fortunes, which had declined steadily since .....

.... the Mayflower Compact. This compact stated that all aboard the ship headed for the “new city of God”, were under the rule of God. Here is the clincher: even though it was a government under the rule of God, the agreement was that the people in God’s name would run the institutions of government. People executed God’s will his “permission”. In these times, people believe that they were carrying out God’s name and very will. These people weren’t bound together by caprice and whim, but for and out of necessity and deep-rooted religious beliefs. They formed a civil body politics so they may increase their chanc .....

.... fathers, and mothers that are being sent over there? Aren’t they just as important as the students at Columbine High? I would certainly say they are! I think that it is noble, perhaps, to be concerned about a school shooting. It is something that has deeply affected a part of our country. However, this is a situation that will be investigated and put behind us. It is important, but again, what about Kosovo? What happens in Kosovo affects us as a whole, and has the potential to change our lives forever. There are speculations that this could be the beginning of World War 3. How do you feel about that? Are you concerned .....

.... and promoting a talented group of well-educated African-Americans to become leaders and role models in their communities. To achieve greater understanding and harmony between the two races, Locke declared that "...there is a growing realization that in social effort the cooperative basis must supplant long distance philanthropy." This meant he felt that Negro people would have to develop self-sufficiency and no longer rely on seemingly altruistic efforts of other people. Langston Hughes was one of the poets who published many works of literature during this time. He acquired a medal give by the National Association for the Adv .....
