Golden Horn

Have you ever noticed the patterns in nature? Leaves alternating on a branch, or the stripes or spots on an animal? Scientists always look at our world and try to figure out how things come to be. Turns out, a 12th century mathematician taught scientists about the patterns in nature, while also making history with his numerical theories. Leonardo da Pisa, or Leonardo Pisano, was born around 1170 in Pisa, Italy. His original name was Leonardo Fibonacci, but since famous Italian people were normally

Darkness fills a land where evil is barely contained, illuminated by the five gushing rivers that characterize the land, each unique to their region of hell. At the center, the infamous river of Styx flows from Oceanus, creating a boundary between the land of the living and the land of the dead. The Kokytos river branches southward off of Styx feeding into the marsh. On the other side of the marsh, the Acheron river ebbs and flows southeast. Northwest of Styx, towards the Gates of Ivory lays the

The darkness fills a land where evil runs unopposed, illuminated by the five gushing rivers that characterize the land, each unique to their region of hell. At the center, the infamous river of Styx flows from Oceanus, creating a boundary between the land of the living and the land of the dead. The Kokytos river branches southward off of Styx feeding into the marsh. On the other side of the marsh, the Acheron river ebbs and flows southeast. Northwest of Styx, towards the Gates of Ivory lays the waters

The sun beats down from above, the air reeks of sweat, a sea of burnt orange envelops me, the event is deafening, I can barely hear myself think. 100,000 faithful, all jam-packed, waiting for kickoff. Welcome to Longhorn Football. The ground is ridden with beer bottles, even though it's only 11:00 AM, the burnt orange stadium is visible from space. The band begins to play, the anticipation builds, the Texas Cowboys fire Smokey the Cannon, consequently the Longhorns burst from the tunnel, with one

Introduction In its Bato Star judgment, the Constitutional Court referred to the interpretive approach followed in the Jaga v Dönges, a notorious case from the 1950s. In this essay, I argue that the recent comments by the Constitutional Court about the case clearly show that the Jaga judgment is no longer relevant to the interpretation of statutes after the democratic transformation. The facts of the Jaga case The Jaga case was a notorious case which occurred in the early 1950’s. Jaga being the

follow there religion. The man who founded the Mormons was Joseph smith a son of a poor family in Vermont. Joseph smith claimed he saw a vision of an angel in 1823 called Moroni. The vision he had told him to find some secret hidden golden plates in a hillside called Cumorah in Palmyra, in the New York state. The plates were then kept hidden for four years, smith found the plates and four years later he translated what it said on them behind a curtain, the inscription was

recognized the need for balance in natural systems. He could have reasoned that since humans are products of nature, we too must find a balance with-in our environments. This probably led to the idea of a golden mean, or balance between two extremes that humans should strive to achieve. The golden mean is not an exact middle or average in the mathematical sense, but rather a flexible guideline that can vary depending on the situation. In this way, it could be said that courage is the desirable trait

Introduction During the course of this lab, we explored whether or not certain processed foods contained Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified food is an important subject in the world today. Ever since Flavr Savr came out with their tomatoes grown from genetically modified seeds in 1994 genetically modified foods has become ever more popular amongst distributors of produce (Mestel, 2013). The world’s population has grown by around one billion in the last decade (US Bureau of the

(genetically modified). The organism that I have chosen, is called the Golden Rice. In the year of 2000, the first genetically modified rice was successively introduced into the world by two scientists, Ingo Potrykus of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and Peter Beyer of the University of Freiburg. The original name of the Golden Rice was called SGR1. The Golden Rice is genetically modified so that vitamin A is in every grain of Golden Rice. Although the rice plant can naturally make the beta-carotene
