- 10591: Emily Dickinson: Life and Her Works
- ... 2) Other poems that Emily wrote were mostly about the exploration of the concept of religious faith. Her father was a very religious man who practiced a Protestant sect that closely followed the tenets of New England Puritanism, but she was never able to practice his faith with dedication. She was drawn to transcendentalism of Ralph Waldo Emerson, who was one of the leaders of this movement in the belief in the essential unity of creation, the goodness of humanity, and the supremacy of insight over logic and reason. This philosophy also taught a renunciation of authority, whether it be religious, scientific, or political. These new ideals led her to think a lot more about life and it's ultimate destiny. The concepts of good and evil, life and death and where you go when you die turned into an obsession ...

They feel that a certain kind of fish evolved into the first four-footed animals. After millions of ... animals eventually turned into dinosaurs. That is how dinosaurs came to be. Then finally the dinosaurs died off and little, furry, four-legged creatures appeared. These animals were called mammals, which then took over the world. Then those mammals evolved into man. The Evolutionists believe that dinosaurs were extinct millions of years before there were even any people to walk the Earth. The Evolutionists had a hard time trying to ...

Eventually this system will be able to evaluate all symbols with equal accuracy. It is possible to implement new neural-network based OCR systems into standard large optical systems. Those older systems, used for automated processing of forms and documents, are limited to reading typed block letters. When added to these systems, neural networks ... network software. These systems will even further reduce losses due to fraud by enabling more data to be processed more quickly and with greater accuracy. Recommendations Breakthroughs in neural network technology have already created many new applications in financial transaction security. Currently, neural network applications focus on processing data such as loan applications, and flagging possible loan risks. As computer hardware speed increases and as neural networks get smarter, "real- ...

- 10597: Aristotle
- ... than empirical observation. Although Aristotle acknowledged the importance of "scientific" astronomy - the study of the positions, distances and motions of the stars - he nevertheless treated astronomy in the abstract, linking it to his overall philosophical world picture. As a result, the modern distinction between physics and metaphysics is not present in Aristotle, and in order to fully appreciate him we must try to abandon this pre-conception. Aristotle argued that the ... the celestial regions, but becomes adulterated in the area below the moon. (De Caelo, Book I, chapter 2) Aristotle's view of the universe was hierarchical, and he made a sharp distinction between the sublunar world of change, and the eternal and immutable heavens. Aristotle, like Eudoxus and Callippus before him, believed that each planet followed the path laid out by a certain number of spheres. Callippus had postulated 33 spheres ... It is generally held that Aristotle's addition of these counteracting spheres complicated rather than cleared up the problem of planetary motion. Aristotle's many-faceted theory of motion was a fundamental part of his world picture. The complexity of this theory is evidenced in the numerous interpretations offered by modern scholars. Here only the bare bones of it will be presented. According to Aristotle, there were three kinds of ...

This new raise in property taxes will help Texans to save money and also to help reduce the problems created by the collection of automobile taxes. I definitely believe the people are all going to be in favor of this new law. Critique Page I believe the editorial entitled “Automobile Tax – Equity issues outweigh lost revenue” is hitting the nail right on the head.

I believe that the council ...
