3. Memory And Memory Of Computers
Memory
Have you ever wanted to know how certain files, documents and so on are being
saved and what led this to occur? The memory of computers is quite fascinating
and there is so much that goes into saving something on a computer. There are
different types of memory that is found on computers that is needed to make things
work and that would be acceptable to the user. The main two that is quite known in
the computer world would be Primary and Secondary memory. There are 2 types
that make up the Primary memory and that would be Random Access Memory
(RAM) and Read only memory (ROM). The secondary memory consists of a hard
disk drive, flash drive and zip drive. There are also optical discs that are included.
One thing that is special in terms of computers would be the Primary memory.
Primary memory is divided into 2 types. The first type would be random access
memory. RAM is in charge of keeping data in a stored area so that it can be reached
by the processor when necessary. RAM does a really good job at laying away data
in such a random basis. An article from the PC World have shown that in this
generation RAM has increased tremendously; it is said that A review of systems
that the PC World test center has grown from a little over 90 MB to about 2 GB,
spiking whenever Microsoft releases a new version of Windows (Stafford pg. 84).
RAM has 2 forms, they are Static RAM and Dynamic RAM. Static RAM
4. The Effects Of Conventional Energy Sources And
Increasing...
Depleting nature of the conventional energy sources and increasing cost of electrical
energy are forcing mankind to look for possible modifications in the existing systems
towards lower energy consumption without sacrificing the purpose for which it is
used. The household refrigerator used extensively all over the world for preserving
various food products is one such system which accounts for the substantial part of
the house electricity bills. Refrigeratoris a machine which lifts up the heatfrom low
evaporator temperature (pressure) and pumps it against the high condenser
temperatures (pressure).
Following were the objectives decided for achieving this aim:
1.To study the literature on domestic refrigerator with higher evaporator temperature
in the temperature range of 265K 270K.
2.To study existing domestic refrigerator including lower temperatures.
3.To design and fabricate a suitable capillary tube to be used with the modified
refrigerator to provide required evaporator temperature.
4.Redesigning the shape of the evaporator used in the refrigerator.
5.To evaluate the performance of the system using recommended test procedures in
the literature.
6.To evaluate economic viability of the system for modifying the existing systems.
The reason behind selecting the temperature range 268K 272K for domestic
refrigerator in the evaporator is to study the effects of the this temperature range on
stored products and to increase coefficient of performance of the

Kinzer was a New York Times foreign correspondent. In addition to writing several
other books including co authoring Bitter Fruit with Stephen Schesinger, he has
taught political science and international relations at Northwestern University and
Boston University. The purpose of this book is to educate the general public about
the U.S. role in the overthrow of governments around the world. Because this was
written recently, it is a useful source since Kinzer had access to data and accounts
that were not previously available. This is a valuable source because it provides a
concise but detailed account of the U.S. overthrow of the Guatemalan government.
This book has an extensive list of sources in the back that include a variety of source

6. Middle Class Predictions
My predictions were way off from the truth. I predicted that the middle class had
60% of the United States wealth and 60%of the world s wealth. It turned out that the
to 10% had the largest portion of the US and world s wealth. This actually shocked
me because I thought there was going to be enough people in the middle classthat the
middle classes wealth would be way more then the upper class. This is because I
didn t think the upper classes wealth could be enough for the amount of people in
the middle class. I think my prediction was so far off because the upper class had
way more money than I expected.
After seeing the truth of the how our wealth is divided I was shocked. It was scary
how many times more money the richest people in the world compared to all the
lower class citizens combined. It shows how messed up our distribution of wealth
is. Even if the world s wealth was just a little more balanced the lower and middle
class would benefit drastically. I don t believe communism is the answer, but I do
believe a little more balance would go a long way. ... Show more content on

Charles Manson once said You know, a long time ago being crazy meant
something, nowadays everyone is crazy. Charles Manson was the man who brought
fear into Los Angeles by brainwashing people to become part of his cult and
together they formed The Family and killed 9 innocent people. During the Manson
Murders many of the people in Los Angeles did not feel quite safe due to the fact
that these killings were random and many felt as if anybody could be the next victim.
Charles Mansonwas born on November 12th, 1934 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was the
son of sixteen year old Kathleen Maddox, and Colonel Scott who left Kathleen during
her pregnancy. (Guinn 39) According to law2.umkc.edu, in November of 1939,

The Family consisted mainly of Susan Atkins, Leslie Van Houten, Patricia
Krenwinkel, Charles Tex Watson, Bobby Beausoleil, Mary Brunner, and Lynette
Squeaky Fromme. Manson s motive to begin killing all started when he had told
the family Helter Skelter was coming, Helter Skelter was the uprising of a racial
war between the blacks and the whites. Manson would facilitate this war by killing
the whites and implicating the African American community with various acts.
(crimemuseum.org) Charles Manson s first killing involved Gary Hinman, he was
a very close friend of Charles Manson and allowed Manson and members of the
family to stay at his house instead of staying at the Spahn Ranch. During this time
Manson was having trouble with money with a guy named Crowe. Manson shot
Crowe under the impression that he was part of the Blank Panthers, however
Crowe did not die from the shot and Manson feared revenge and left.
(law2.umkc.edu) Manson was in desperate need of money and soon later heard
from a family member that Gary Hinman had gotten money from an inheritance.
Charles Manson sent Bobby Beausoleil, Mary Brunner, and Susan Atkins to pay
Hinman a visit and tell Hinman to hand over the money. Gary Hinman was very
uncooperative and was held hostage for a couple of days. Manson finally came in
and sliced Hinmans left ear, Hinman was stabbed twice in the chest and in the blood
from Hinman, Manson smeared Political Piggy on the wall along with a Black

With the world forever changing politicians are chosen by the populace to make
decisions based on the needs of the people. Current political gridlock in this nation
has made it extremely difficult to pass legislation pertain to the economy, workforce
and health. While these items are discussed daily by political pundits one issue that
equally important is usually placed on the backburner due to political posturing the
health of the planet. Tackling environmental problems today is more difficult
because the nature of the problems has changed: where such problems were once
primarily scientific and technocratic in nature, they are now almost exclusively
problems of politics . (Turin) This posturing has become a major issue for society
and could lead to dire consequences in the future. It is time for us to come together
and address the issues of political influence, in order for us to have a meaningful
conversation we must discussion the influence of special interest groups, understand
how politicians manipulate and use false authority to push agendas and also discover
the importance of citizen involvement.
Lobbyists for special interest are hired to attempt to try to convince congressional
committee members to act in their favor on issues that were important to them .
(Wright, 45) This tactic is used on the state, local and federal levels of government,
while not all lobbyist fight for causes that maybe harmful to the environment. Some

9. The Components of Newton s Laws of Motion
Velocity is the time rate of change of position of an object in a particular direction.
Velocity along a straight line is known as linear velocity and is commonly measured
by meters per second (m/s). Since both speed and direction are implemented in the
measurement velocity the direction must be given. Velocity is a vector quantity,
which includes magnitude or speed and a direction into account. An object doesn t
need to move in a straight line path to have linear velocity. Instantaneous velocity of
any point of an object undergoing circular motion is a vector quantity. When an
object is forced to follow a curved path it has instantaneous linear velocity at any
point of its travel. Velocity is calculated by dividing the time it took to travel the
distance into the distance it traveled or V=d/t (Rusk, Dr. Rogers D. (2014). Velocity.
In AccessScience. McGraw Hill Education. Retrieved from http:/

change in velocity. Instantaneous acceleration is the limit of the rate of change in
velocity to the time taken to change velocity. When the acceleration is constant, the
average acceleration and the instantaneous acceleration are equal. When unbalanced

on an object, which causes it to accelerate. If the object doesn t change direction the
object will have a constant acceleration. Acceleration is
10. The Melting Of An Ice Age
An Ice Age is a period of geologic time in which the Earth s climate sees a dramatic
drop in temperatures. This basically means that it is a lot cooler than it was in
different parts of earth s geologic history. As a matter of fact, earth is believed to be
in the middle of a glaciation period currently because of our polar ice sheets. As we
know it today there were about six ice ages that have occurred throughout the
history of the earth. Glaciation periods have helped shape the earth as we know it
today and has helped humanity progress down its evolutionary track. Though it is
agreed upon that several ice ages have occurred during earth history, the cause of
these cycles is still a mystery waiting to be solved. The Huronian Glaciation or
Snowball Earth is believed to be the oldest ice agein earth s history. Roughly 2.4 to
2.1 billion years ago. During this particular ice age, ice cover the earth from pole
to pole, the entire planet was frozen, nothing could survive. Our next two ice ages
were during the Cryogenian Period, which is nicknamed the Deep Freeze because
this was the deepest cold the earth has ever experienced. The Sturtian Glaciation
750 700 million years ago, and the Varanger/Marinoan Glaciation which occurred
660 to 635 million years ago. There is a possibly that the earth was a snowball at
these glaciation periods but proof has not been provided yet. The Andean Saharan ice

A pregnant woman diagnosed with cancer is a very rare case in medicine.
Nonetheless, this case still presents itself in the field of medicine. Approximately, 1 in
1000 pregnant women are affected by cancer ( Cancer During Pregnancy ). Conflicts
that pin maternal health versus fetal health have come to an attention grabbing point
in our society. The pregnant woman legally has the right to accept treatment that will
harm the unborn child. Still, it becomes a moral issue whether she owes it to her
unborn child to refuse treatment in order to avoid fetal harm and deliver a healthy
child. For the sake of argument, this paper will predominantly deal with pregnant

By saving one human life, another is harmed or even terminated. This is obviously
not a simple problem. Many nuances come into play. There is a chance that if of
both the mother and the baby to live happy and normal lives after the chemo. The
doctor s morals come into play; will the doctor directly harm another human life in
order to save another or will the doctor exercise his medical paternalism to force
chemotherapy onto the pregnant women in order to save her life? How aggressive
the cancer is and whether, if left alone, the mother can deliver the baby
prematurely in order to ensure the baby s safety before undergoing chemotherapy.
Will the cancer, if left untreated, spread to the baby and directly affect the baby s
development? As one can see, this is a very tedious and complicated problem and it
is not one that has a correct answer. This is a moral question about how the world
ought to be. Personal beliefs and practices play a huge role in each individual s
answer to this difficult question.
To start, knowing the background of the situation is critical to understanding the
argument. In 1973, Roe vs. Wade was the Supreme Court case that made abortion
under certain circumstances legal in the United States ( History of Abortion in the
U.S. ). This also meant that women in the US could now make choices such as those
stated out above. The judges determined that the unborn child was not a human with
rights, but a clump of cells that was part of the

Being sociable in life can be really difficult at times for certain people, this could
not be shown more when director Craig Gillespie portrays this in Lars and the Real
Girl. This movie is set up around one person and how their attitude on people
greatly change. The main plot of the story revolves around Lars Lindstrom who is
played by Ryan Gosling being one of these types of people in the start of the movie.
In the beginning of the movie Lars is seen as a guy that doesn t like to interact with
those around him very often. Lars goes so far that he goes back on his work when
invited to breakfast with his brother Gus who is played by Paul and his wife Karin.
This is also seen in his workplace as Lars focuses more on his work than on a new
employee... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The very first scenes of the movie Lars first accepts an invitation to have breakfast
with Gus and Karin, but ends up going straight to work as soon as breakfast is
being made. While accepting an invitation and ditching seems rude of Lars, when
Karin goes back inside the house to tell Gus that Lars has accepted the invitation
and that he owed her five dollars Gus was quick to say that he ll believe it when he
sees it. Another instance like this happened when Lars goes to work Margo asks if
Lars would want to carpool since both of them live close enough to ride together,
at this point Lars seems to not even recognize the question that Margo is asking
and Lars is reminded that it s his turn to go grab some coffee and continued like
Margo was not even there. While being shy is one thing what Lars is showing in
these first few scenes is that he doesn t feel like getting to know those around him.
Lars in the beginning stages of the movie showed signs of being an introvert,
which is defined as a person who generally prefers solitary activities instead of
interacting with large groups of people. While Lars is mostly seen around small
groups of people he still shows signs of an introverted person and how they act. But
with interversion there are people that can work out of hiding themselves when it
comes to either small or large groups of people as seen in the later parts of the
movie. After the

Polygamy
Polygamy is the practice of being married to one or more person at the same time.
Polygamy exists in three specific forms polygyny wherein a man has multiple
simultaneous wives; polyandry where in a woman has multiple simultaneous
husbands. Woman has multiple simultaneous husbands; or group marriages wherein
the family unit consists of multiple husbands and multiple wives. Bigamy is the act
of going through a marriage ceremony while already married to another person. It
differs from polygamy in that bigamy is the practice of entering into marriage with
two or more persons at the same time without the knowledge of either of the
spouses. Bigamy is a crime as the person is already legally married to the first partner
and deceptively goes through another legal marriage keeping everyone in the dark. In
case of Polygamy the person enters into simultaneous marriages with another person
with the consent of both the spouses. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

World War Two came to America on December 7th, 1941. The focus on America s
involvement in the war generally focuses on the European front. What must be
remembered is the time and sacrifices made in the Pacific theatre. America s entry
into the war on the Pacific was not an immediate success. It took American forces
until the summer of 1942 at the Battle of Midway to become properly prepared for
the war. The American military learned much from their losses both through the
strengths of the Japanese forces and America s own faults. After these losses were
realized, changes were made within the military. These improvements allowed the
American forces to turn the war back and begin to have successes in the Pacific.

Another aspect of the Japanese success was powerful and effective tactics. Tactics
include the training of the Japanese soldiers and their objectives in battle. Japanese
soldiers were trained to die honourable to fight to the death and never be taken
prisoner3. Training the soldiers to fight this way was not only traditionally
Japanese, but it inspired them to continue fighting beyond what would be seen as a
reasonable time. This sincere dedication to defending their people and Emperor
(the cause of this training) allowed the Japanese soldiers to be effective killers
even when faced with undeniable defeat4. Beyond their training, the Japanese had
other advantages in their battle objectives. The use of radar was essential to the
Americans, and so the Japanese were often ordered to target the radar stations on
islands before beginning full assaults5. Targeting the radar stations prevented the
Americans from properly estimating the Japanese forces or from knowing where
they were headed. The final tactical advantage the Japanese had was that their air
force consisted of small experienced squads especially for important missions6.
Having been involved in a number of minor wars in east Asia in the 1930s,
Japanese forces were far more experienced; this lead to a much greater effectiveness
than the inexperienced Americans. Technologically, Japan was also ahead of
America at the outset of the war. This, partially, is due to experience and having been

Although there are significant methodological, political and theoretical differences
between the regulationists and the institutionalists they both agree that sometime
between 1965 and 1975 Fordism entered a period of crisis in which both mass
production and mass consumption could no longer be sustained because of the
development of micro processor technology, the information society and the
increasing dis aggregation and fragmentation of customer demand. Out of this crisis,
arose a third aspect of Fordism, in which new forms of Labour Processes such as
flexible specialization and new flatter organizational forms replaced Taylorism and
the bureaucratic organization under the general aegis of the enterprise culture

Standardisation, Single Purpose Machinery and Flow line Mass Production
The main elements in the technical definition of Fordism are; Standardised
Production and Interchangeable parts; The use of dedicated single purpose machine
tools; and Mechanised flow line Mass production. The Model T was the mainstay of
Fordist commodity production through the decision in 1909 that the Ford company
would only make Model T s and the runabout, touring car, town car and delivery car
would all consist of the same chassis (Hounsell, 1984: 227).

In 1678, Anne Bradstreet wrote To the Memory of My Dear and Ever Honored
Father Thomas Dudley Esq. Who Deceased, July 31, 1653 and of His Age 77 ,
following her father s death. Throughout the poem, Anne gives her readers a brief
summary of her father and the relationship they shared. It it very apparent that
Bradstreet loved her father dearly and thought very highly of him. However, this was
not the only father she shared a relationship with. Anne also had a lifetime
relationship with her heavenly Father as well. Bradstreet was a devout woman of the

A great Puritan by the name of Thomas Watson once spoke the words,
blessedness...does not lie in the acquisition of worldly things. I suspect Bradstreet
would have loved that quote, seeing that she too, believed that happiness did not
lie in possessions. Anne Bradstreet states, Upon the earth he did not build his nest,
/ But as a pilgrim, what he had possessed (33 34). Just with those two lines, one can
already catch a glimpse of what kind of man Thomas Dudley was. Bradstreet is
saying that her father knew this was just his temporary home. Thomas Dudley
knew that this was not his forever home, just a stopping point along the way.
Bradstreet goes on to say, His thoughts were more sublime, his actions wise, / Such
vanities, he justly did despise (47 48). In these lines, Bradstreet shows how her
father despises vanities, just as she did. Anne greatly infers that Thomas Dudley was
not a materialistic man, instead, he was a very humble man. He was less concerned
with the vanities of life, and more concerned with what God wanted for his

There are four different types of methods to be used by an occupational therapy to
treat their clients with motor control problems to enable clients functional movement,
and independence. These methods are Rood, Brunnstrom,
Neurodevelopmental(NDT) also known as Bobath s, and Proprioceptive
Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF). These four methods have similarities according to
their different perspectives on how clients are going to be treated with abnormal
tones. These four methods are very helpful for OTs/OTAs to treat their clients.
Examples of these dysfunctions are abnormal muscle tones such as; rigidity
antagonist and agonist are both working together, spasticityhypertonic; and flaccidity
Hypotonic, as well as different abnormal reactions of the client such as; inability to
do righting reactions, equilibrium reactions; and protective extension reactions. There
are also two types of abnormal reflexesthat the client might manifest if they have a
CNS dysfunction and those are Asymmetrical Tonic Reflexes for an Infant, and Deep
Tendon Reflexfor an adult. Incoordination of Dorsal Column, Basal Ganglia, and
Cerebellar are also examples of CNS Dysfunctions that the client might have. Using
these 4 approaches, such as rood s, brunnstrom s, bobath s and pnf, will help reduce
all of those abnormal patterns and normalize tone, posture, and balance.

Buildings were half standing, whole blocks were reduced to rubble. Buildings were
abandoned and on fire every night. It looked as if a war had taken place. The Bronx
lost more than 97 percent of its buildings to fire and abandonment between 1970
and 1980, according to census data. In 1976, arson rates hit a record high with
13,752 recorded arsons (Malito) . During this same time, drugs were a serious
problem. The government decided it was at this time to take a harsh stance on drugs.

substances. The CSA outlines five schedules used to classify drugs based on their
medical application and potential for abuse. Schedule 1 drugs are considered the
most dangerous, as they pose a very high risk for addiction with little evidence of
medical benefits. Marijuana, LSD, heroin, MDMA (ecstasy) and other drugs are

1.1.Definition
Shape memory alloys (SMA) have attracted much attention in recent years, since they
are smart (or intelligent) materials, as well as functional materials, which already
exist. These alloys possess the characteristics of the shape memory effect (SME) and
super elasticity (SE) which are caused by the martensitic (or displacive)
transformation (MT) and its reverse transformation to the parent austenite phase; we
define the characteristic transformation temperatures as follows; Ms: martensite start
temperature upon cooling; Mf: martensite finish
22. Reflection On Aristotle s View Of God
Aristotle gives two different accounts of God in his writings Physics and
Metaphysics. Although the two accounts differ in purpose, the first giving proof that
God is the first mover, unmoved who initiates motion in the universe and the second
that God is the final cause at which all things aim. In a survey of the two doctrines, it
is evident that the two accounts are not incompatible, but rather provide a more
comprehensive and convincing argument for God.
In Physics 8.6, Aristotle gives an argument for the existence of God. He sets the
foundation of his argument on what is familiar to common experience the
observation of motion. Each movement has a cause, or source of its motion. Is this
principle of motion intrinsic to the objects moved? Is it a principle of movement
exterior to the object that is moved that is the source of movement? Aristotle
addresses these inquiries and makes the argument that God is the first and
fundamental source of motion and change.
Aristotle begins his argument for God as an unchanging first mover unmoved on a
concept established in an earlier section of the Physics: that motion is necessary and
unceasing. This unceasing movement requires an object that imparts this motion, an
object that is unmoved and unchanging. But, Aristotle notes, there are many objects
that possess within themselves a principle of self movement. However, these objects
pass in and out of existence and their movement is not necessary. The ultimate source
of movement cannot be something that comes into and passes out of existence, for
this would include it in objects subject to change that gain their principle of change
from a source exterior to themselves.
In addition, the fact that these objects change from states of activity and rest indicates
that their movement is accidental, rather than necessary and essential. Although these
things do cause movement in other things, what is potential need not be, and motion
is necessary and uninterrupted. Therefore, these objects that appear to possess self
movement cannot be the source of eternal, necessary motion, as there cannot be more
in the effects than in the source of those effects. As a result, Aristotle claims that there
must necessarily be something...

Introduction
The task at hand was to find a medium sized internal combustion engine. With this
engine we had to dismantle it recording all the steps taken to pull it down. After the
engine had been taken apart, all the functions of the engine had to be observed and
recorded. After observing and recording all the information, it was then required to
make any minor ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This was achieved by un doing one primary nut, which was attached from the shaft
of the engine to the cutting deck of the mower. There was four smaller nuts the
attached the engine to actual mower frame. These five bolts were undone with a
medium size shifter. The large bolt had to be cracked because it was on tight and
tapping it with a hammer causes the nut to crack and let go of the bolt.
Upon removing the engine from the frame of the mower, the casing over the engine
24. was removed with a small shifter by undoing six small bolts around the engine.
The next component of the engine that was taken off was the carburetor, which was
attached to the side of the cylinder. It was secured onto the intake port by a tightening
mechanism, which worked by tightening two washer like fixtures around the intake
port with a screw. After taking it off all the dirt had been removed from the surface of
the carburetor
The head of the cylinder was taken off first. This was achieved after undoing four
small bolts or the top of the head. The vacuum advance system was disconnected
from the carburetor to allow the removal of the head. See Fig 6
The next component that was removed was the barrel or cylinder. It slid off the four
bolts that held the head of the cylinder off. After the barrel had been taken off, the
piston was easily accessible. See Fig 7
The plate with cooling fins on it had to be taken off and for that to be removed a
large nut had to be cracked

The Most Beautiful Death
The short film, Descent is about a dying man and his very vivid memories shown
through dance.
The movie won many awards including, the Van Gogh Award at the Amsterdam Film

won the Excellence film award from Indie Fest.
The entire film is less than five minutes but it has so much content in it. I m usually

In front of the wall are three men with black trash bags over their faces. They are
reaching out in different directions and ripping open the bag. They pull themselves
up off the floor and begin their dance. It is beautiful and mesmerizing and I ve
watched it several times. There are moments when the camera goes into slow
motion and we get a great scene of one of the three men with his leg straight up in
the air. After their dance the camera switches focus back to the woman in a yellow
dress from before. She moves as fluidly as water. Her movements are precise and
relaxing. She is making things that take lots of strength look like anyone is capable
of doing it. I could watch her dance for hours. Just as with the three men from
before some of her movements are caught in slow motion, at just the perfect time to
see her body contort in different ways. The film ends with the dying man and the
woman in the yellow dress. He is still letting out his substance from his body while
he dies in her arms.
Along with the very powerful visuals from the dancers the music is strong and
reflective. If I close my eyes I can see the story laid out in front of me from the
music alone. It has a haunting tone to it that makes you wonder about your own life
and what your memories would look like if someone created
27. Biblical References In Glory By Gwen Bristow
Gwen Bristow uses biblical references throughout the novel Celia Garth to
express her strong faith in God. One example is when the wind changes directions to
prevent the British from getting into Charleston bay. Another biblical reference
regarding the amount of British troops against Marion and his men is largely
favored for the British to win, however the Americans were still victorious against
the British. Also when Celia felt lonesome and like she had nothing to live for, Luke
was brought back into Celia s life. Do things happen unforeseen, or is there some
kind of higher power? Bristow believes in God and displays strong faith by
expressing it through her writhing by using biblical references.

Even though Marion s men presented faith and
fearlessness, they were wore out and outnumbered. Marion knew this and even said
were not strong enough to meet Cornwallis in open battle (Bristow 279) . This
situation in the book represents the biblical allusion David and Goliath. David and
Goliath is a classic story in the bible about people doubting the capabilities of David
but he conquers them and Goliath just like Marion s men conquering the British and
the Tories who doubted them. You come against me with a sword, spear and
javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord almighty(1 Samuel 17:45) .
Marion s men did the same as David, they didn t come at the British with brut
strength and numbers, but faith.
Bristow expresses God s love and intimacy when Celia feels as if is a outcast
in the world. When Celia was in a bottomless depression God brings back Her good
friend and soon to be husband Luke. Luke ask Celia to become a spy for Marion and
28. his men. When Luke ask Celia if she was interested and she said what do you think
I have been doing since Bellwood breathing with no purpose what so ever.

Essay on Early America Early American history was not always as great as it may
have seemed. People suffered from many different hardships during early
American history. People were treated very poorly based on their social class, skin
color, and their gender. Therefore, they did not have as many rights as they do
today. Some history books make it look as if half the people in America never
even existed (Zinn 89). Some history books act make it look like half of the people
in America history have not even existed. Poor people were treated terribly. Poor
people who were slaves and servants in 1676 came to America hoping for better

A lot of people were raised into racism. The Revolution helped encourage some
black people to demand more out of white society. After the war, slavery slowly
ended in the Northern states. By 1840, there were still a thousand slaves.
Meanwhile in the South slavery began to expand because of the growth of cotton
and rice plantations. Native Americans did not become a part of slavery due to
them owning their own territory. But at the same time, they were not treated as
equals to white people.When white people tried to enslave Native Americans, they
fought back, ran away, and those who had not been captured attacked the whites
and helped other Native American get free. President Andrew Jackson signed the
Indian removal law in 1830, which allowed him to take Indian land and move tribes
west of the Mississippi. The Indian removal law was thought to be necessary for the
opening of American lands for agriculture, markets, money, and to develop a modern
capitalist economy. The Indian Removal, as it has been politely called, cleared the
land for white occupancy between the Appalachians and the Mississippi, cleared it for
cotton in the South and grain in the North, for expansion, immigration, canals,
railroads, new cities, and the building of a huge continental empire clear across to the
Pacific Ocean

The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding
something to live for. Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov.
Life goals are something to cling on and can be defined as end goals of our life.
Without it we are living a life without any clear direction or focus. As per what Earl
Nightingale said, People with goals succeed because they know where they are
going... It s as simple as that.
The process of setting goals is so crucial since it helps to motivate yourself to turn
your vision into reality. The first step in setting life goal is observe yourself. One
must choose a goal which attract them and can make them hang on it for longer term
without hesitating about the amount of time need to be spent.

Musk conceptualized a project called Mars Oasis, in 2001, in which he would land
a miniature experimental greenhouse on Mars that contained seeds and
dehydrating gel, after hydrating the gel the seeds would grow on Martian soil
(McKnight, 2001). The project was to regain a dwindling public interest in space
exploration and increase the budget of NASA. Musk quickly realized that the
expense of getting to Mars was far greater than he expected and that there would
need to be a breakthrough in rocket technology. Musk traveled the world meeting
with different rocket builders and space engineers in hopes of finding the right
rocket builder and the right price to make his project a reality but did not find a
suitable candidate. Musk had the idea of creating a company that could build the
rockets that he needed at a fraction of the cost. Musk saw opportunity where others
saw dead ends. He hired renowned rockets engineers and opened a facility in El
Segundo, California, called SpaceX. Musk decided SpaceX s first rocket would be
named Falcon 1, a nod to Star Wars Millennium Falcon (Vance, 2015). A few of
SpaceX s achievements include: the first privately funded, liquid fueled rocket
(Falcon 1) to reach orbit (28 September 2008), the first privately funded company to
successfully launch (Falcon 9) orbit and recover a spacecraft (9 December 2010), the
first private company to send a spacecraft 9Dragon) to the International Space
Station (25 May 2012) and the first private company to send a satellite into
geosynchronous orbit. In 2011, Musk stated that he hopes to send humans to Mars

A Pellet Stove Is An Efficient And Convenient Way To Add Heat To Your Home
If you re looking for a way to heat a small home or add supplemental heat to a larger
home, then a pellet stove might be the answer. These are more convenient to operate
and more energy efficient than a wood stove, and they can provide warmth more
readily due to an internal fan. Here s some information about getting and using a
pellet stove in your home.
Why A Pellet Stove Is A Good Choice
A pellet stove is more like a small furnace than a fireplace or wood stove. In addition
to having a burn pot, pellet stoves have a thermostat for controlling temperature and
fans for circulating and distributing heat. The pellets are made of compressed wood,
sawdust, or other biofuel. You load them into a hopper and they are slowly added to
the burn pot over the next several hours so you don t ... Show more content on

The efficiency of the stove depends on where you put it and the layout of your house.
Also, you have to consider that the stove should be away from children and
furnishings.
In addition, the stove needs to be set up next to an electrical outlet since the stove
needs power for the circuit board and fans. One solution is to get a pellet stove
insert for an existing fireplace. If you want a free standing pellet stove, then you ll
need to choose a place where you can vent it to the outside.
How To Use A Pellet Stove
To use a pellet stove, you load the pellets into the hopper and then turn the stove on if
it has an automatic ignition. If you buy a stove with manual ignition, you ll have to
get the fire started with a gel or liquid starter that is recommended by the
manufacturer. Once the fire starts, you regulate the temperature with the thermostat,
and shutting off the stove is as easy as turning it

Ariel as an element because; she is a bright, spirited and headstrong mermaid with
a strong passion for adventure and exploration. Her tendency to explore the more

35. The Country s National Debt
Is it to be, or not to be? Frankly, if our nation does not strive towards a solution for
the National debt then it will not be . Some economist determined that the Country s
national debt is not an issue to panic over because the Nation will supposedly
continue as it does currently. However, the National Debt that the country has
reached is a problem that cannot be ignored or solve its self and vanish, it is a
problem that has to be addressed. Eventually the time will run out for the United
States to keep pushing the limit on the debt ceiling and then will be left without
options. Looks like it is back to finances 101. In 2015 the Government revenue was
approximately $3.18 trillion, but spent approximately $3.8 trillion. The government
has accumulated a massive amount of debt and interest from borrowing moneyfrom
other countries and the federal reserve. The evident problem is that spending is
more than revenue, thus, requiring the government to borrow and with interest of
course. Once a debt is owed it is not impossible to recover from if strict precautions
are taken to work towards paying it all back. However, those precautions have not
been taken by the government, but instead are ignored. The government keeps
borrowing without paying back the money that is borrowed and only pays on the
interest that is owed. For instance, if two dollars are borrowed with an interest of
one dollar and only that one dollar of interest is paid back then the debt will never be
paid off.

In the late 1960s black men were arrested because they fit a simple description of a
black man.White men did everything possible to stop a black man from getting
recognized. Professional boxer Rubin Carter was born on May 6, 1937, in Clifton,
New Jersey. In 1966, at the height of his boxing career, Carter was wrongfully
convicted of a triple murder.Carter was arrested at twelve after attacking a man with
a boy scout knife and again in 1957 for purse snatching and served four years in
trenton state maximum security prison.When four white people were shot and the
only reason for the three murders and one survivor was racial retaliation. Rubin
Hurricane Carter is an advocate, and a black man in route of a crime scene was
wrongfully arrested, put on trial four times, and released after twenty two years in
prison. Rubin Hurricane Carter was training for his next shot at the world
middleweight title against middleweight champion Dick Tiger in October 1966
when he was arrested for the June 17 triple murder of three patrons Jim Oliver,Fred
Bob Nauyoks,and Hazel Tanis at the Lafayette Bar Grill in Paterson. (Rubin) It

Thus, the Internal Revenue
Service has been provided with Code Sec. 482, under which it may reallocate items
of income, deduction, credit, or allowance in order to prevent tax avoidance when two
or more organizations are controlled by the same interest. Further, if the taxpayer s
method of accounting does not clearly refl ect income, Code Sec. 446 authorizes
the IRS to require the use of a method that will do so. Additionally, the Supreme
Court has indicated that the use of generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), which apply to fi nancial accounting and are considered to be the best
accounting practices, does not necessarily clearly refl ect income and does not shift
the burden of proof to the IRS to show otherwise. Thor Power Tool Co., 79 1 USTC

Once the questions of what items are includible in gross income and what items are
deductible in computing taxable income are answered, a second set of questions
must be faced. These relate to when such qualifying items are to be utilized in that

included in gross income? In what tax year is a deduction to be subtracted from
gross income?
The general answers to most of these when questions are furnished in terms of the

Democratic, Republic? Andrew Jackson s form and thought of democracy was very
different from the democracy the founding fathers originally wanted for our country.
The founding fathers wanted a country mostly ruled by Congress and they didn t
want average Americans to have a role in choosing... [the] president (Reinventing the
Presidency). The founding fathers thought of the presidential branch as being weak
and only good for doing what Congress wanted. Andrew Jacksonthe seventh president
of the united statesquickly showed the people how powerful his government
position was by enforcing his right to veto bills Congress passed. Over Jackson s
presidential term, he was a very different president than the founders originally
wanted in office, and many people thought of his presidency as being very
democratic. Jackson s term as president may have seemed democratic, but when you
look deeper into his laws and policies you can realize how his term wasn t really that
democratic.
Andrew Jackson wrote a letter to Congress on July 10, 1832, saying the rich and
powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes (Doc. F).
Jackson is talking about the national bank in this letter to Congress and it was very
well known from his close friends that he had always been afraid of banks... [and

bank caused the government to have too much control over the people, but the way

As you aged, did you ever notice that your understanding of right and wrong
principles changed? According to psychologists Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg
it should have. Individually the two psychologists have made remarkable discoveries
on how children develop and use their moral development. Jean Piaget, grew up in
Switzerland in the late 1890 s and early 1900 s with his father, who was a dedicated
historian. Around Paget s early twenties he had the privilege of working with many
influential people allowing him to cross paths with Theodore Simon. Simon
developed a standardized reasoning test that would test children on their mental
abilities, such as their attention and memory abilities. Piaget felt these tests were too
strict and wanted to gain a better understanding on the quality of how children think
at different stages of development. There are two main aspects to the understanding
of moral development, according to Piaget. First, the earliest stage, heteronomous
morality, is where children see the rules as invariant and unchanging. Generally this
stage comes around the ages of 4 7 years. During this stage children tend to play
together, with each child playing at a slightly different set of rules. Through Paget s
research, it shows that when the children are having a good time then everyone is a
winner. The cooperation stage is divided into two categories, the incipient and
autonomous. Around the ages 7 10 years children s games become more clearly social,

Memory refers to a mental process that is used to gain, gather, and recover
information. The information that is stored in our memory with the help of our
senses will be processed by numerous systems all through our brain, and it will be

there are two basic kinds of memory: ordinary and intelligent memory. Ordinary
memory is remembering specific names of people, time, place, locations of certain

we will not remember what we are trying to learn. Moreover, we tend to
procrastinate which is not good. For this reason, we need to do the important things
now while we still have plenty of time. It s simple, if we can avoid procrastinating,
we won t forget anything. In addition to that, we can only concentrate on one thing at
any time. Even though we can multi task, it is still impossible for us to handle
different tasks at the same time especially when they both require mental process.
Absolutely, we can t give our full attention to those; as a result, we absorb nothing.
Another way that hinders our ability to pay attention is being absent minded. For

45. Pretty How Town
For this week s journal I chose Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town by E. E.
Cummings. It is quite interesting poem with simple words that can be easily
understood by readers. The meaning of the poem is that it describes the simple
/ordinary life cycle of human beings. All people grow up, work, get married and
then die. For example, someones married their everyones laughed their crying and
did their dance (line 17 18) and One day anyone died I guess (line 25). It also
shows the modern life, that everyone is busy in their life and doesn t really care
about others in their surroundings. As it stated, women and men (both little and
small) cared for anyone not at all (line 5 6). It also shows the common and simple
people, whose identity is not very important.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

In the poem, Cummings used a simple and weird names such as anyone , noone ,
and how town maybe to represent a specific era or small town. The fifth element is
personification which is a thing, an animal, or an abstract term is made human
(p.455). In the poem stars, rain, sun and moon are used to show human s
condition. Also bell is used to show all humans. For example, women and men
(both dong and ding) (line, 33). I think the way Cummings placed all the words in
order, he represented a good story. As a reader I was enjoying and had a feeling
that I m reading a story. This sequence of words and step by step definition made it
easily for me to understand better the whole meaning behind the poem. For
example at first he started by giving an idea about people s ordinary life that no
one cares for each other anymore. Then it slowly goes to each step and phase of
life and states how life is going to end. The poetic elements that have been used are
also simple and clear that can be easily grasped. Therefore, it really helped me to
imagine the whole poem, and interpret it

loves his music (Larson). His first choral composition Go Lovely Rose
incorporates many musical elements. When I first listened to this song, I was
shocked by how amazing it sounded, this is a very beautiful choral piece. The
song is an acapella piece and he uses very rich harmonies that switch from being
consonant and dissonant. There are also parts of the song when they sing in unison.
One big element that he uses in this song is imitative polyphony. At the part of the
song when the choir sings Then died that she ,the soprano comes in then the alto

Bonuses under the stretch method are based on annual performances, but payments
are made every quarter. And each quarterly bonus payment is only at 80% actual in
order to save management from paying out bonuses that may not be actual.
Opponents to this budgeting technique cited that targets were too optimistic, and that
rewards were based on complex and subjective measures. And because managers
could still receive a small bonus at 60% of budget, bad habits started to form.
In late 1986, HCC CEO Andy Goldfarb met with divisional managers and
announced a new budgeting philosophy. The Minimum Performance Standard
(MPS) was created to let divisional managers set their budgeting goals at a level
they felt was 100% attainable. However, Goldfarb asked each manager to set their
targets at levels above what they were currently producing at. The MPS plan was
accompanied with a change in incentive plan, in whereby a pool was created that
paid 20% of the amount exceeded actual over budgeted PBT (profit before taxes).
In addition, 25% of the amount they exceeded the target would be added to the
bonus. This allowed managers to see exactly where their bonuses were coming
from. If their shipments were at 98% of the budgeted, they would receive close to
100% of the bonus pool set aside for that particular measure. If a manager met only 4
or 5 measurements, then his/her bonus collection would be directly in proportion to
that. However, COO Al Berger

The Daodejing is a collection of chapters from ancient China. The chapters explain
why things happen the way they do. In order to understand everything that exists
and the way it exits, the Daoists explain dao which means the way. The way helps
people to find their way to excellence during a time of turmoil and strife. Life as it
is known is uncertain and unclear. Daodejing uses a non logical approach to explain
the uncertainties in life. The authors of this ancient text use contradictions to prove
their points because logic cannot always be used as a guide. Contradictions help to
find balance and teach people to live in a world without having a full understanding
of things. According to chapter 15, it was stated that those who prize way making
49. Effects Of Casino Gambling On The United States
Casino Gambling in the United States
There is an extensive and constantly changing literature on the effects of casino
gambling in the United States. As of December 2010, there were 939 commercial,
tribal, and race track casinos operating in 38 states in the US (American Gaming
Association, 2011.) In this paper, I will review the economic literature on the effect
of casino gambling, looking at three categories: Price Sensitivity, Social Effects, and
Location Determinants.
This paper will explore how economists attempt to find the answers of this relatively
new concept of casino gambling. What is the revenue from the casinos and how do
they impact the local economy? Does the immoral action of gambling increase crime
in the states that legalized it? What are the impact on wages and does casino
gambling lead to an increase in bankruptcies?
The economic literature is quite broad and while there is extensive data on the effects
of casino gambling, economists are still torn between the questions of if A casino
typically generates more benefits to society than costs (Walker, 2013). While more
economists believe that the costs outweigh the benefits, this paper will explore
current economic findings of casino gambling and attempt to offer more
understanding to the effects it has on the economy.
Probability and Timing
Casino gambling has been scarce in the US, only being found in Nevada from 1931
until 1978 when New Jersey legalized gambling. In 1987 the Supreme Court made a

From when Carolyn arrives home until the end of the scene with Lester in their
living room (Chapter 19: 1:14:35 1:17:40)
The movie American Beauty literally is trying to express how much beauty there is
in America but it is not always so easy to see. Often in the film objects normally
thought of as ordinary are magnified to express deeper meaning and show what
beauty really exists in the world. The color red, for instance, is an ordinary color but
it shows its face numerous times throughout the movie. The color is not just ordinary
it is significant, as it represents love, passion, and ... Show more content on

In an instant the moment ends when Lester almost ruins her precious couch. Carolyn
returns to being uptight and materialistic and Lester to being angry. He becomes so
angry with her because she has let material things be her life. This shows how
important love, passion, and happiness in life is, what it is really about, and how
hard it is to maintain all in only a few short minutes. The cinematography in the
film does a wonderful job conveying the genuine meaning behind the sequence as
well. The camera is placed far from the actors at the beginning of the scene and
becomes closer and closer as the desire between Lester and Carolyn grows. When
Carolyn relapses and becomes upset about the couch almost getting ruined the
camera goes out again and the actors are surrounded by all of the material items in
the room. In that frame it is clear that the more intimate, close up scene was more
tasteful to see than the angry room full of expensive furniture. Through this sequence
the viewer should be able to understand the social issue addressed; that today
Americans ignore the raw, pure beauty in the world and instead are obsessed with the
amount of objects that they can own. Natural beauty is disappearing, while store
bought beauty is growing. In time this will destroy true happiness. The film is
touching the viewer s heart and mise en scene and cinematography do a wonderful
job at exposing the actuality
52. Paiste Hi-Hats
The Sound Edge series of hi hats from Paiste are designed to get the most out of a
drummer s hi hat technique. The signature CuSn8 bronze hats are well suited for all
styles of play, but created with energetic footwork in mind. The high hat pair creates a
consistently crisp chick sound when stepping on the pedal to enhance the drums time
keeping. This allows the SoundEdge hi hat cymbals to cut through the guitars to
create great presence in the musicmix. Whether keeping time or adding accents, these
Paiste hi hats add a new percussion voice to the drum set without accessories.
Standard stock hi hats have a smooth edge on both cymbals, which can trap air
when playing and cause sound inconsistencies. This is often mitigated by adjusting
the angle of the bottom cymbal using a bolt found on most hi hat stands. The Paiste
Sound Edge hi hats have a bottom cymbal with a wavy edge that allows air to
escape without resistance. That means closing the cymbal pair creates a consistent
and uninhibited sound so players and drum with a precise feel. It also means that
additional accessories or microphones aren t required to bring the hi hat sound to life
in the drums. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This allows drummers to keep the bright sound qualities that can be lost when
switching over to heavy projection hats. It also allows them to keep the technique
they developed on medium hats rather than altering their practiced sticking force.
Paiste Sound Edge hats use design innovation and their signature CuSn8 bronze alloy
for a crisp and pronounced cymbal sound. This means these Paiste hats cut through
any guitar riff without changing the feel or style of the drum

The novela Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck features two laboring men, George

Lennie is mentally challenged and as a result, does not understand his own strength.
This continually gets him and George in trouble and costs them their jobs. While
working in Soledad, Lennie accidentally kills a Curley s wife, and a group of
farmhands then go on a search for Lennie, with the intention of beating him and

the neck, killing him instantly. George s killing of Lennie is a moral dilemma as it

Over the course of the novela Lennie has proven to be an increasing danger to those
around him. In the past, Lennie had unwarily killed several mice with his strength.
He also accidentally killed his puppy and Curley s wife. However, after each death,
Lennie showed immediate remorse and extreme distress. He never intended for the
death of any individual but due to his mental handicap and enormous strength, it
seems to be a common occurrence. If Lennie was not prematurely killed by George
the future confrontation with Curley and the other farm hands would not have ended
without blood due to Lennie s incredible strength. Thus Lennie s death not only
secures the safety of himself but other individuals. Lennie is a danger to those around
him, although this is not a justifiable reason for euthanasia by itself, under the
circumstances, it only reinforces George s decision as morally

Database
Abstract Data mining is the method of extracting the data from large database.
Various data mining techniques are clustering, classification, association analysis,
regression, summarization, time series analysis and sequence analysis, etc. Clustering
is one of the important tasks in mining and is said to be unsupervised classification.
Clustering is the techniques which is used to group similar objects or processes. In
this work four clustering algorithms (K Means, Farthest first, EM, Hierarchal) have
been analyzed to cluster the data and to find the outliers based on the number of
clusters. Here the WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) for

Clustering plays an important role in data mining process. Clustering is the approach
of grouping the data into classes or clusters so that the objects within each cluster
have high similarity in comparison with one another[12].The common approach of
clustering techniques is that to find cluster centroid and then the data are clustered.
Several clustering techniques are partitioning methods, hierarchical methods, density
based methods, grid based methods, model based methods and constraint based
clustering. Clustering is a challenging field of research in which its potential
applications pose their own requirements [4]. Clustering is also called as the data
segmentation because clustering method partitions the large data sets into smaller
data groups according to their similarities. The main objective of cluster analysis is to
increase intra group similarity and inter group dissimilarity.
Detecting outlier is one of the important tasks. A failure to detect outliers or their
ineffective handling can have serious ramifications on the strength of the inferences
drained from the exercise [4]. Outlier detection has direct applications in a wide
variety of domains such as mining for anomalies to detect network intrusions, fraud
detection in mobile phone industry and recently for detecting terrorism related
activities [5].Outliers are found using the filters which is offered by data mining
tools. Liver disorder is also referred to as

In Khalid s R B song Another Sad Love Song Khalid expresses the impact an ex
lover had on him. Khalid uses metaphors throughout the entire song to help convey
all of the pain caused by his ex. In the second line of the song, Khalid sings, You
cut me deep and left me wide open . Since this metaphor is used in the second line
of the song, Khalid seems to immediately portray his ex as someone who attacked
him. Although Khalid never says what his ex did to him, an inference can be made
that his ex treated him miserably. Khalid implies his ex left him incredibly vulnerable
and emotionally scarred. In the next line, Khalid sings, I fought the demons that lie in
between us . This line of the song seems to hint at the previous line. Perhaps Khalid
