motivational system (42, 20). Another theory of what causes ADD is the low

of the brain that are connected with the ability to pay attention and the
ability to regulate motor activity (Phelan 46). Many people believe that
bad parenting, physical brain damage, diet, and allergies cause ADD. Thomas
Phelan argues that these things indeed do not cause ADD. P .....

Dealing With Death
.... lives and deal with my problems later. I found
that this isn't always the best way to deal with a friend dying either,
because I end up shutting people out. This is just another way to deal
with death and I'm not saying it's the best way to deal with death just the
way I dealt with it.
No matter how you deal with death you must learn to live with the
fact that someone you know is now no longer around. You must go on with
your life and learn how to have fun with that person around anymore. Some

selected acupuncture points. Acupuncturists recognize nearly 400 of these
special locations on each side of the body and another 250-300 "extra-
meridian" points outside the meridian lines. The needles are typically
turned clockwise or counterclockwise to evoke patient response and to
intensify or change the needles tip polarity. Manual or electrical
manipulation of the needle or the application of heat or cold to the handle
will change polarity and direction of the current (Kanigel 3).

their original habit which does their jobs fully by themselves, not by
computers. This really effects and influences a person's self esteem and

4 lateral incisors, 4 cuspids, 8 bicuspids (premolars), and 12 molars.
The 4 wisdom teeth develop after the other 8 molars, as the jaws increase
in size. If this increase is insufficient, the wisdom teeth may become
impacted, that is wedged between the jawbone and other teeth, sometimes
resulting in pain and inflammation. The upper teeth, called maxillary, and
the lower teeth, called mandibular, are shaped in such a manner that they
interdigitate (fit t .....

Neural Networks
.... applied to translate images into keywords or even
translate financial data into financial predictions (Wo96).
Neural networks utilize a parallel processing structure that has large
numbers of processors and many interconnections between them. These processors
are much simpler than typical central processing units (He90). In a neural
network, each processor is linked to many of its neighbors so that there are
many more interconnections than processors. The power of the neural network
lies in the treme .....

Most people, if they thought about it, would identify more with
their left brain. In fact, many of us think we are our left brains. All
of that non-stop verbalization that goes on in our heads is the dominant
left brain talking to itself. Our culture- particularly our school system

transfusions of infected blood, or sharing 'dirty' needles. (Needles
already used, in this case, by a HIV positive person.)
The criminalization of intentionally spreading AIDS has been a big
issue recently, and still remains so. As of September, 1991, legislation
criminalizing AIDS transmission has been passed in 24 states. Among these
states are California, Idaho, Ohio, Missouri, Michigan, and South Carolina.

How The Government May Have Created AIDS

top secret document -- a National Security Memorandum ("NSM 200") -- in
which he indicated that "depopulation should be the highest priority of US
foreign policy towards the Third World." This Memorandum which can be
obtained from the US National Archives, which was only declassified very
quietly in 1990, was adopted by the National Security Council as official
US foreign policy towards the Third World. Now, this is a classic example

caused by blockage to the flow of blood in those arteries supplying the
heart muscle itself, i.e., the coronary arteries. Like any other organ, the

for the careful electrical rhythm control of the heart beat. Unlike some
other organs, the heart can survive only a matter of minutes witho .....
