"HOME TECH": The Inner Workings
.... of the overflow pipe, the float closes the inlet valve, completing
the cycle.
From the oldest of gadgets in the bathroom, let's turn to one of the
newest, the toothpaste pump. Sick and tired of toothpaste squeezed all
over your sink and faucets? Does your spouse never ever roll down the
tube and continually squeezes it in the middle? Then the toothpaste pump
is for you!
When you press the button it pushes an internal, grooved rod down the tube.
Near the bottom of the rod is a piston, supported by lit .....

Hypnotism

these two sources are very reputed and the general population believes
that they are correct. Yet, however often they may be correct, in this
case they are not, or at least not completely. Not according to the
scientific community at least. My sources for this statement are The World
Book Encyclopedia, The Wizard from Vienna: Franz Anton Mesmer, Applied
Hypnosis: An Overview, American Medical Journal, and Hypnosis: Is It For
You? Although they state it in different ways the .....

Immortal Poetry
.... remarkable that their written words can tell us more about our
present, than they did about our past. Is it just an illusion that our
world is evolving, or do these great poets have the power to see into the
future? In this brief essay, I will investigate the immortal
characteristics of poetry written between 1794 and 1919. And, I will show
that these classical poems can actually hold more relevance today, than
they did in the year they were written. Along the way, we will pay close
attention to the styl .....

Interlingua Is Doomed
.... the very constructed language they advocate
does not seem to strike them as unfair at all.
Not that the people of this planet have ever managed to fully agree on
anything, but let us just suppose that the world was to reform and decide
to teach its citizens an all new language. The nations that would learn it
the quickest would of course be the industrialized countries with the
resources for good public education, incidentally the very nations that
know and are learning, the international business languag .....

Kent State University Incident
.... hoses were taken by
students and used aganist them. At that point Governor James Rhodes called
for the National Guard to come in and protect the campus(Four Deaths at
Noon).
The following day Kent State University was under the protection² of the
Ohio National Guard. Around noon on that day, students fromed in protest.
They were told to disperse, but refused. The first action of the National
Guard was to release tear-gas grenades upon the masses of students (Guard
Fired in Self Defense). These grenades .....

Prince Edward Island
.... beef cattle, hay,
hogs, milk, barley and other grains, and vegetables.
The island lacks valuable minerals and cheap sources of power. In
addition, transportation to and from the mainland is very expensive,
therefore manufacturing on P.E.I. has developed slowly. Manufacturing is
now the third most important economic activity.
THE PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND FLAG
The provincial flag, adopted in 1964, bears an adaption of the coat of
arms. ON the coat of arms, adopted in 1905, the british lion symboliz .....

Mining In Space
.... problem.
Maryniak continued by noting that the early settlers in North America did
not attempt to transport across the Atlantic everything then needed to
sustain them in the New World. Rather they brought their tools with them
and constructed their habitats from local materials. Hence, he suggested
that the solution to the dilemma to which he referred required not so
much a shift in technology as a shift in thinking. Space, he argued,
should be considered not as a vacuum, totally devoid of everything. R .....

Enduring, Endearing Nonsense
.... Liddell, who insisted that he write the story down for her, and
who served as the model for the heroine.
Dodgson eventually sought to publish the first book on the advice of
friends who had read and loved the little handwritten manuscript he had
given to Alice Liddell. He expanded the story considerably and engaged
the services of John Tenniel, one of the best known artists in England, to
provide illustrations. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel
Through The Looking Glass were enthusiast .....

The Origin Of Humanity
.... a method called carbon dating to determine the age of the fossils.
Which can then be examined and placed along a timeline. The time periods
show slight differences in bone structure showing what is hypothesized to
be the human evolving.
Evolving from what though? The theory of evolution states that
creatures change overtime to suit their surroundings. This is called
environmental adaptation. The more a creature can adapt to it's
environment the greater chance it has of living and show an increas .....

Radioactive Wastes

'vitrification'.
Vitrification is a semi-continuous process that enables the following
operations to be carried out with the same equipment: evaporation of the

to round-the-clock crews of ground controllers. They watch over the
temperatures and voltages of the craft's electronic nervous system and
other vital "organs", always critical with machines whose sunward side may
be 300 degress hotter than the shaded part.
Once a satellite achieves orbit--that delicate condition in which the pull
of earth's gravity is matched by the outward fling of the crafts speed--

Violence In Schools
.... a handgun if they wanted to(Glazer 14).
The cause of violence can be blamed on many things but 1 mainly.
And that one thing is drugs and gangs. Now that more people are selling
and buying drugs, people are making money to buy weapons. Gangs, since
they came around violence has been increasing steadily. The spread of
gangs and drugs has also been implicated in the increasing violence of
school youths(Glazer 14).
Experts have also said that most violent conflicts among school-
age children can be trace .....

Tall Stories
.... would you use?
And where would you put it?
Building a superskyscraper, the first thing you would need is a
considerable slice of real estate. Tall buildings require a large base to
support their load and keep them stable. In general, the height of a
building should be six times its base, so, for a skyscraper 900-m tall,
you'd need a base of 150 square m.
That much space is hard to come by in, say, downtown Toronto, forcing
you to look for an undeveloped area, perhaps the Don Valley ravin .....

Stages Of Change Model
.... when an individual commits to taking action
sometime within the next 30 days. Action is the busiest time. There are
noticeable efforts to change the targeted behavior. Maintenance is the
stage when a person tries to stabilize the behavior change and prevent
relapse. Termination is the final stage, this occurs when there is zero
temptation to revert back to the old behavior. Now the author uses these
six stages to relate it to dietary habits and how people can use this
process in their lives and make .....
