.... in relation to space and time, although time assumes a more critical role. Intense interest is devoted to the 'zone of everyday life'. Found in this zone are immediate concerns that guide our daily routines. Reality is an inter-subjective experience. Each individual exits in his/her own private reality, yet co-exists in a normal shared common sense reality with society. To momentarily escape the presence of reality in order to assume a different perspective requires a concentrated and deliberate effort. When foreign tasks are introduced into our daily routines, the reality of everyday life integrates the foreign information into what is more natu .....

.... the lo9ng list of reforms needed. Many reform activists feel that direct changes need to be made on the methods of training and certifying the teachers of our country. Before looking at the reform movement, however, one must first look at the so called problem of inconsistency in teacher certification. In our country today there is a general consistency among the requirements for state certification of teachers. Most states require their teacher institutions to establish a teacher education program that includes coursework and fieldwork. The coursework includes those courses that prepare a student to become a professional teacher and those classes that in .....

.... with a launch, which in the U.S. takes place at Cape Canaveral in Florida, NASA's Wallops Flight Center in Virginia, or, for polar orbiters, Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. One satellite in 20 is crippled by the jolt of lift-off, or dies in the inferno of a defective rocket blast, or is thrust into improper orbit. A few simply vanish into the immensity of space. When a satellite emerges from the rocket's protective shroud, radiotelemety regularly reports on its health to round-the-clock crews of ground controllers. They watch over the temperatures and voltages of the craft's electronic nervous system and other vital "organs", always critical with m .....

.... have their advantages and disadvantages. When trying to decide between outsourcing or promoting internally the company should consider these questions: 1. Have you looked at the cost of administering this function in house versus outsourcing? (Cook, 1999, p.177) 2. Have you done some preliminary recruiting to see if experienced HR staff with expatriate experience are available? What are the going salaries for these professionals? (Cook, 1999, p.177) 3. Will performing the daily administrative details of the expatriate function consume an inordinate amount of time, even if you have experienced staff? (Cook, 1999, p.177) 4. Do fluctuations in the company̵ .....

.... more complex these facts become. The knowledge one may learn in school is what I think of as worldly knowledge that will get people into the colleges and jobs that they may desire. The people that are abundant in educational knowledge are the people who dominate our economy and run our country. Certainly, this is one of the more important types of knowledge there are and definitely one that we could not do without, but it is not quite as important as some of the others. Education is vital in life, but mere facts cannot aid in the solution to all problems. Another source of knowledge is entertainment, such as in television, movies, books, or even music. C .....

.... much about what a car is. But it answers the question by the kid’s understanding, doesn’t it? The question is answered, the kid is happy, and you did not have to spend a few weeks introducing what you just said. Some may argue that this is misleading, but despite the fact that when viewed generally, the simple answer might seem false or incomplete, in the context of the situation, it is quite adequate. That is what van Fraassen is trying to say with regard to scientific explanation. According to him, there are two problems about scientific explanation. Both are very easily seen in our example. The first is, when is something explained? Some ar .....

.... officers. As is not unusual in a violent call such as this, there were no witnesses to the act except the victim. As I approached the victim, it was apparent that this was not a shooting. It was, in actuality, a man lying in the water filled gutter stabbed through the breastbone. He lay on his stomach with his head turned to the right. He had a punctured heart. After perhaps 30 seconds of a field assessment, I saw a man with an extremely light pulse, the slightest of breathing, and a blood pressure of 40/0. The intruding knife used was no larger than a small blade pocketknife, one-quarter inch at its breath. It was similar in size to the knife .....

.... with respect to the equatorial plane. The satellites are equipped with atomic clocks that provide accurate time to within three billionths of a second. The satellites transmit signals on two L-band frequencies (L1 = 1575.42 MHz and L2 = 1227.6 MHz) to equipment on the ground. The satellite signals consist of a Pseudo Random Code (PRC), ephemeris, and almanac data. The Pseudo Random Code is a complicated sequence of pulse signals. This code ensures not only that the same frequency can be used for all satellites, but also that GPS receivers can receive the GPS signals without the need of big satellite dishes. Moreover, Pseudo Random Code also identifies .....
