Third World Concept
.... Issues. This report stated that the 'rich developed' countries were located in the 'north', and that the 'poor undeveloped' or 'developing' countries were located in the 'south'. However, in this report the 'North/South' divide used in the Brandt Report will not be used, instead the use of the phrase 'Third World' will be used in its place. The phrase originally derives from France ('Tiers Monde') in the 1950's to describe the peasantry (the 'Third Estate') in pre-Revolutionary 1789 France. By the end .....

Through The Eyes Of The Dyslex

Dyslexia is derived from the Latin 'dys' means bad or hard and 'lexia' meaning language. Dyslexia has been defined in several different ways.

Till We Have Faces
.... to us face to face, she asks, till we have faces?" (TWHF, pg. 201)
Throughout the book Orual expresses her love for Psyche, as well as her fear of loosing Psyche. The sin of jealousy and obsessive love leads Orual to resist yielding to the higher love destined for Psyche, and ultimately to destruction of the object of her love and the hardening of Orual’s soul to the point of self-induced misery and guilt for the rest of her days.
Orual first feels the pain of the great gulf after the kingdoms .....

Time The Final Frontier
.... of thinking can one express past. Even if one could possibly travel back into time, that person would never actually reach the past, for when that individual reaches any moment in time, in their point of view, they are in the present. Therefore, one can only visualize the past, but can never become it. This is the argument that disproves the existence of the past. One can never achieve it. On the other hand, one can achieve the near future. One cannot even be sure that the past, even the last few se .....

So what is the true picture of the scale of child sex abuse in Ireland and elsewhere? A few facts may put the subject into some perspective, based on information imparted at that conference entitled Child Sexual Abuse: the Irish Experience So Far and the Way Forward, the published proceedings of a conference on the treatment of sex offenders organised by the Irish Penal Reform Tru .....

has become a “major force in virtually every medium and on
every continent”
So then, why should a company like Time Warner be a threat
to the public, and something which all of us citizens
around the World should be aware of ? Isn’t Time Warner
just a success of capitalism ? A successful company, which
employs thousands of people and makes massive turnovers,
while at the same time advancing the cause of the global
market and promo .....

These people were asked to rate helplessness, capacity for rest, acceptability of change, emotional effects, hearing and ability to ignore using the Tinnitus Effect Questionaire.

Similar examples are prevalent in Yi's story also "cultural conditioning, Canadainized Korean" , In both examples each emphasis's heavily on the cultural aspect rather than other types of alliteration. Another type of figurative language used is simile a comparison using like or as. In Suzuki's "that in people just as in animals, while my Japanese was primitive as to be useless, being a package of what look .....

To Rent Or Not To Rent
.... house up for sale. Hopefully they can sell their house in thirty days but most likely not; if they are real lucky they might even break even.
Home owners may think they have a piece of the “American Dream”. That is okay; let them think it. The people renting their homes are the ones with it all. They can call for free maintenance whenever needed, less utilities to worry about and the freedom to move from their residence at the drop of a hat. Wow, what a way to live!

You must endure the excruciating nine hour course after paying for the privilege of attending. This is a class most people would have never taken if given the chance. The
unpleasantness associated with a speeding ticket is almost finished when you have completed the course.
A reoccurring reminder of a previous mistake is evident in higher insurance rates. Most in .....

The tobacco companies target teenagers with their advertising campaigns, as they know the teen years are when smokers are made. In 1992, the tobacco industry spent $5.23 billion advertising its products, up from $3.13 billion in 1985. The only industry that spends more on advertising is the automobile industry.

Nicotine Addiction
The primary reason people continue to use tobacco despite the health risks is that they have become addicted to a powerful psychoactive drug: nicotine. Although the tobacco industry long maintained that there was insufficient evidence about the addictiveness of nicotine, scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that nicotine is highly addictive.

Tongan Mothers In New Zealand,

The wide use of the WCH book has not been accompanied by stringent research to assess its efficacy. That is, the book has been widely used but to date no research have demonstrated that the health of children using the book is better than those not using the book. Much of the work done has been focussed on the utilization and coverage.
This project is a pilot study qualitatively assessing the use of the WCH book among Tongan mothers. There i .....

Topology
.... the number of vertices of the polyhedron, e is the number of edges and f is the number of faces. It is interesting to realize that this, really rather simple, formula seems to have been missed by Archimedes and Descartes although both wrote extensively on polyhedra. The reason must be that to everyone before Euler, it had been impossible to think of geometrical properties without measurement being involved.
Johann Benedict Listing (1802-1882) was the first to use the word topology. Listing's topologic .....
