On the other hand we can also see this ambition with Lady Macbeth. She also shows us the signs that she is getting over ambitious to become the new queen when she says "Thou wouldst be great; Art not without Ambition, but without, the illness should attend it"(I.v.82-84).

- 11014: Benjamin Franklin's Albany Plan of Union

- 11016: Knowledge
- Knowledge in itself is stronger than belief without facts or proof. A justified true belief is a very strong notion, but not nearly as strong as knowledge. In today's world knowledge is the key to a successful everyday or professional life. There are some conditions where beliefs are supported with facts and facts are based on knowledge.

- ... involving the use of biological and chemical controls to improve the timing and effectiveness of pest control and to minimize environmental risk.

The continuous growing of a single crop can be financially efficient but can lead to ... it more difficult to meet future needs of changing climate, soil, and challenges from unforeseen pests. In an effort to preserve the size of the gene pool, international centers and experimental stations scattered throughout the world are beginning to develop collections of genetic samples of these local crop strains.

Accurate statistics on world crop production are difficult to assemble.

They made possible a variety of new products including the radio and the computer. However vacuum tubes had some inherent problems. They were bulky, delicate and expensive, consumed a great deal of power, took time to warm up, got very hot, and ... a process known as impurity doping. In the hot furnace, the dopant atoms enter the areas of exposed silicon, forming a pattern of n-type material. An etching bath removes the remaining oxide, and a new layer of silicon (n-) is deposited onto the wafer. The first layer of the chip is now complete, and the masking process begins again: a new layer of oxide is grown, the wafer is coated with photoresist, the second mask pattern is exposed to the wafer, and the oxide is etched away to reveal new diffusion areas. The process is ...
