Since the 1970's there have been several devastating oil spills as a result of oil exploration and drilling: Ixtoc, Exxon Valdez

and, most recently, the Deepwater Horizon blowout off the coast of Louisiana. Ecosystems may survive and some may eventually recover from such oil spills. But the overall effects are far reaching and long-lasting. Scientists still see the effects of the Ixtoc spill on the crab populations in surrounding wetlands. All BUT ONE situation is an expected effect of the recent Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. That is: A) Tar balls buried beneath beach sand influence crustacean movements, habitats, and breeding patterns. B) The rapid extinction of top-level consumers in the Gulf food webs, such as sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles. C) Scrubbing efforts of surrounding wetlands interfere with an areas natural ability to regenerate plant growth. D) Deep sea oil plumes serve as a food source for bacteria, and in turn, the lower oxygen levels produce deep sea dead zones.

The answer choice which is <em>not ONE situation</em> that is an expected effect of the recent Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is the rapid extinction of <em>top-level consumers</em> in the Gulf food webs, such as sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles

As a result of this, we can see that based on the incident which occurred in the Gulf of Mexico where the largest oil spill in the nation's history occurred, there were different expected effects such as scrubbing efforts of the surrounding wetlands, etc.

However, the answer choice <em>which is not</em> an expected effect is the <em>extinction </em>of top level consumers like sharks, etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B

Why are the journeys of the patriarchs important to Jewish people?
masya89 [10]

Answer:   in the explaination:) thanks me later

Explanation:

Abraham faced struggles that no other person experienced before or since. As a result of successfully overcoming these challenges, he became the father of the Jewish people. When yet a child, without the positive role models of parents, teachers, and society, he discovered the existence of G‑d entirely on his own. At great personal risk, he introduced the major principles of monotheism to a world in which the concept did not exist. Ordered by the wicked King Nimrod to recant his beliefs, Abraham refused, even when threatened with death. His staunch refusal was all the more remarkable, considering that Abraham had never received communication from G‑d and thus had no idea of being saved or of earning eternal reward in the next world. Miraculously, Abraham emerged from Nimrod’s fiery furnace unscathed.

Later, Abraham left his hometown, Ur, in southern Iraq, and settled in the land of Israel, where he taught multitudes the Jewish concept of G‑d. He is One, Abraham said, timeless, incorporeal, benevolent, and demands moral and ethical behavior from mankind. At the age of 70, Abraham received a prophetic vision in which G‑d promised that Abraham would become the forerunner of a nation totally devoted to G‑d’s service, and that this nation would inherit the land of Israel. The promise was realized when at age 90 Abraham’s wife Sarah gave birth to his son Isaac.

G‑d tested Abraham’s faith 10 times. The greatest of these challenges was the Akeidah, the command to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. Aside from the personal tragedy of losing his son, Abraham faced the total destruction of his life’s work. First, Abraham’s greatest desire was to establish a nation that would continue his G‑dly mission, a dream that would not be realized if Isaac perished. Second, Abraham would be revealed as a charlatan and a fraud. Indeed, for many years Abraham preached that G‑d abhors human sacrifice, and suddenly he stood accused of that very same crime! Nevertheless, Abraham responded to G‑d’s command with alacrity. At the last moment, as Abraham held the knife above the neck of his bound son, G‑d told Abraham to desist and gave him the promise of eternal survival, which has sustained the Jewish people to this day. Countless Jews throughout the generations have emulated Abraham and Isaac, and have given up their lives, when necessary, Al Kiddush HaShem, to sanctify G‑d’s name. Abraham died in 2023 at the age of 175.

Isaac

Isaac’s history was very different than that of his father. Unlike Abraham, Isaac was born in the land of Israel, and lived and died there. Unlike his father, a master teacher, Isaac saw as his life’s mission the solidifying of the spiritual foundation of the Jewish people through internal self-perfection. Therefore, he did not reach out to the masses in the manner of Abraham, although Issac did not entirely neglect outreach activities. When there was a famine, Isaac settled in the Philistine area of southwestern Israel. A remarkable episode took place there, one that is a portent for the Jewish experience throughout the exile: the story of Isaac and the wells. The following chart displays the striking similarities between Isaac’s life and future events and also illustrates the concept of maase avos siman l’banim: the events of our forefathers’ lives are a paradigm for those of their descendants:

Article II of the Constitution describes the powers of the president and the larger executive branch. One of the powers granted
scoundrel [369]

My position on the use of presidential pardon authority is of favourability; because this was granted by the Constitution which represents the Americans desires and philosophy of how the govern should act for the citizens and states interests and dreams.

 

Pardons tend to be controversial because as they overlay justice decisions the President can use the pardon and offer it for a person in the purpose of fulfilling, or attend his own interest or causes. Taking advantage of pardon for personal benefits.

 

One actual example of a president’s use of his pardon authority was the pardon granted for Former President Richard Nixon by President Gerald Ford on September 8, 1974 regarding any crimes he could have done in Watergate Scandal.

The pardon legally relates to punishment effects for a crime (if it is offered before a conviction it prevents the penalties and disabilities and if it is after a conviction it removes them).  

The emotional issues that those most personally affected by the original crime may have toward the granting of a pardon can be vary.  

In the case of Nixon critics claimed the pardon to be a “corrupt bargain” and later this seems to be the cause of peoples rejection of Ford and reason of the President losing the elections of 1976. While for Nixon was a great relive and an import act this pardon Ford gave him.

Did the Anti-Federalists accomplish any of their goals?
Law Incorporation [45]

The main objective of the Anti-federalists was avoid the establishment of the president because they thought that a centralized power could degenerate into a monarchy. Although the Anti-federalists could not avoid the approval of a new constitution, this effort was not completely in vain. Anti-federalism thus became an influential group among the founding fathers of the United States. With the approval of the constitution and the bill of rights, the anti-federalists were exhausted. They were succeeded by members of the anti-administration party, which opposed the fiscal and foreign policy of George Washington.
