Preparing for the Afterlife - Mr.Donn
To the ancient Egyptians, the Land of Two Fields was a real place. It was a heavenly place. It was the place you went after you died. One of the reasons the god Osiris was so honored in ancient Egypt is because it was Osiris who opened the door to the afterlife for everyone.

Egyptian Afterlife - The Field of Reeds
The ancient Egyptians believed that life on earth was only one part of an eternal journey which ended, not in death, but in everlasting joy. One was born on earth through the benevolence of the gods and the deities known as The Seven Hathors then decreed one's fate after birth; the soul then went on to live as good a life as it could in the body it had been given for a time. When death came, it was only a transition to another realm where, if one were justified by the gods, one would live eternally in a paradise known as The Field of Reeds. The Field of Reeds (sometimes called The Field of Offerings), known to the Egyptians as A'aru, was a mirror image of one's life on earth. The aim of every ancient Egyptian was to make that life worth living eternally and, as far as the records indicate, they did their very best at that.
Answer:
A) The drug been abused by this individual is cocaine. Cocaine has been show to be powdery in nature with a distinctive white color.
B) The effects reported after use includes:
Feelings of euphoria.
Increased energy.
Inflated self-esteem.
Elevated mood.
Temporarily decreases the need for sleep.
Suppression of appetite.
Cocaine use may also bring about:
Feelings of restlessness.
Irritability and anxiety.
Panic.
Paranoia.
Etc.
C) Cocaine acts by blocking the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. By binding to the transporters that normally remove the excess of these neurotransmitters from the synaptic gap, cocaine prevents them from being reabsorbed by the neurons that released them and thus increases their concentration in the synapses. Due to this, the natural effect of dopamine on the post-synaptic neurons is amplified. The group of neurons thus modified produces much more dependency (from dopamine), feelings of confidence (from serotonin), and energy (from norepinephrine) typically experienced by people who take cocaine.
In addition, because the norepinephrine neurons in the locus coeruleus project their axons into all the main structures of the forebrain, the powerful overall effect of cocaine can be readily understood.
In chronic cocaine consumers, the brain comes to rely on this exogenous drug to maintain the high degree of pleasure associated with the artificially elevated levels of some neurotransmitters in its reward circuits. The postsynaptic membrane can even adapt so much to these high dopamine levels that it actually manufactures new receptors. The resulting increased sensitivity produces depression and cravings if cocaine consumption ceases and dopamine levels return to normal.
Dependency on cocaine is thus closely related to its effect on the neurons of the reward circuit.

Answer:
benefits; costs
Explanation:
The theory of social exchange proposes that all relationships are formed, maintained, or broken due to a cost-benefit analysis. It leads us to make comparisons of alternatives raised and, finally, to opt for those relationships that offer us a greater benefit at a lower cost.
This theory has been highly valued among behaviorist paradigms in that it can be quantified and measured for its simplicity. Over time, and with the emergence of cognitive and constructivist paradigms, it became obsolete.
Answer: Early adopter
Explanation: Individuals or groups who buy into a company's product before many others are called early adopters. Early adopters usually get a feel of the product or services before it becomes popular having already experienced the benefit and shortfalls of the product or services before many other individuals within the community.
Being among the first set of users or consumers, product manufacturers and impending consumers rely on early adapters to provide update about product shortfalls and general verdict on product performance.
