Spring Jetty Book Review Introduction Spiral Jetta is a personal journal-like book by Erin Hogan about her road trip to visit some of the most phenomenal works of land art in the American West on her Volkswagen Jetta. The trip was also Eric Hogan’s way of experimenting solitude. The book cover shows the photo of a deserted tarmac road in a hilly location taken from a car’s windscreen by the driver; the book cover also has a subtitle “a road trip through the land of art of the American west,” explaining best the cover photo of the book. The title Spiral Jetta may seem contradictory since it is a combination of one of the venues’ name she visited, Spiral Jetty, and her car Volkswagen Jetta. The name spiral may not actually represent her journey to Spiral Jetty but also the experiences she had during the 3,000-mile road trip. During the trip she experienced anxiety, heat exhaustion, disorientation, and drunkenness before she emerged an enlightened person, these experiences may explain the concept of “Spiral” to describe the crooked experiences and Jetta…

The Arab spring led to many countries in the Middle East having regime change and structure of government change even though it was short-lived. The Arab Spring took place in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and Tunisia. The results of the Arab springs were diverse, but in most cases, it led to more disaster, and more suffering for the people as the changes in government occurred without the right structures in place. Tunisia and Egypt are the countries that achieved a positive outcome from the Arab spring as of current.

The goal is to connect various crimes and identify possible perpetrators by comparing DNA samples from crime scenes with samples of convicted offenders (Panneerchelvam, & Norazmi,2003).

Factors Influencing Sustainability of Water Projects by Companies in Rural Communities Introduction Water has been a significant point of concern for most marginalized or rather third world countries. Moreover, sustenance of water projects is a desire wanted to be achieved by every community, government, or even private organizations, which ensures that the maximum profitability of the project is delivered to the beneficiaries. National governments and water companies try to establish a means of generating and distributing water to almost every household. They have also attempted to stipulate measures in place to ensure that every individual has access to water. But this has been a problem to specify because of certain hindrances such as sustaining the water projects developed in third world countries. Sustainability of projects depends on the prudent standards that water companies, NGOs, as well as communities in which the program being implemented, have installed to save the foreseen future. A good project plan exemplifies the roles that every stakeholder has in ensuring that implementation is not only the last stage but how it will be managed in the…

Malthusian Theory 3/2/2016 According to Malthus, population increases at geometric rate whereas means of life increase at arithmetic rate. The geometric growth rate means the progression in the series, 2,4,8,16,32 and so on. It is increase in population at an exponential or increasing rate. The arithmetic growth means the progression like in the series 2,4,6,8,10,12,14 and so on. It means the means of life increases at constant rate. According to Malthus, it is because of operation of law of diminishing return. As population grows faster than means of life, the human beings have to suffer scarcity of means of life. The population becomes too explosively large in comparison to the means of life. Ultimately nature brings natural disaster to control the population. The disasters reduce the population. After disasters, population grows again at geometric rate. It becomes again explosively large and there is deficiency of means of life. After growth of population, the disasters and population growth occur alternatively one after another and recurrently. According to Malthus, population becomes double after 25 years. Human beings can do a little to…
