- 8291: Reasons America Declared War On Germany
- ... In the years leading up to 1917, a multitude of reasons contributed to the American decision to declare war on Germany. These reasons include the German naval policy, allied propaganda, and America’s claim to world power. The German U-boats as well as the incident with the Lusitania prompted America to take action. Propaganda, exaggerated or not, helped to get the people’s support for declaring war. Lastly, America believed that by partaking in the war would increase its chances of getting concessions at the end of the war, thereby supporting its claim to world power. The Germans’ violation of American neutrality was a big part in America’s decision to declare war on Germany. One way in which they violated American neutrality was through the use of the U ... a success. Therefore, propaganda influenced America’s decision to declare war on Germany in 1917. Another factor, perhaps one of the more underlying reasons at the time, in this decision was America’s claim to world power. If America did not take part in the war, it would be highly unlikely that America would gain anything at the close of the war. Being involved in the war would ensure that, ...

- ... my curiosity about what it is like to be a physician c about what sorts of problems and pressures sustain their distance and separateness, and make it so hard for them to be open to new ideas from outside their profession.

- 8293: HDTV
- ... Each receiver sold to the American public must conform to received the NTSC signal. This signal has proved to be a durable way of transmitting information for 50 years. But with today's technology, a new standard has been in the works, HDTV. In September 1992 NBC's WRC-TV in Washington DC became the first television station in the country to send HDTV signals over the air waves. WRC- TV's general manager then stated, "With advanced digital high-definition television, viewers will experience unmatched picture quality and superior sound resolution." There are many pro's and con's regarding having HDTV as the new standard. Not all broadcasters are interested in HDTV at all. During the transitional period, broadcasters will have channel space to send NTSC signals and HDTV signals simultaneously. At first, the timeline for this to take ... of the on-line newsletter HDTV Today says, "HDTV is slick.

- 8294: Albert Einstien
- ... the ether had not succeeded. Einstein realized that the equations describing the motion of an electron in fact could describe the nonaccelerated motion of any particle or any suitably defined rigid body. He based his new kinematics on a reinterpretation of the classical principle of relativity, that the laws of physics had to have the same form in any frame of reference. As a second fundamental hypothesis, Einstein assumed that the ... radiated from the Sun would interact with the Sun's mass, resulting in a slight change toward the infrared end of the Sun's optical range. At this turning point Einstein also knew that any new theory of gravitation would have to account for a small but persistent anomaly in the perihelion motion of the planet Mercury. About 1912, Einstein began a new phase of his gravitational research, with the help of his mathematician friend Marcel Grossmann, by phrasing his work in terms of the tensor calculus of Tullio Levi-Civita and Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro. The tensor ...

Each of these districts contained family groupings in small settlements based on hunting and fishing. Those from P.E.I ... community was guarded by "keepers of the faith", widely respected men and women selected from the populace. On election as a keeper of the faith, a citizen was duty-bound to accept and adopt a new name. The office could be relinquished. They reported evil deeds of individuals to the council, to make them an example by exposure. They sometimes held consultations to deliberate upon the moral condition of the people ... and punishable by reconciliation by the wronged. The Iroquois had no such thing as trespassing. Everyone owned everything. Only spiritual articles were personally owned. If these items were stolen, the punishment was ridicule or anger. New Year's Eve was the only time theft was permitted.

Redland Aggregates submitted a new planning application to the Western Isles Island Council. 1992 The Scottish Office issued a draft report which recognised the potential for Rodel but found that socio-economic benefits needed to be balanced with environmental consequences ...

It recommended that if coastal superquarries ...
- 8297: The Comparison Of Forest Of Ar
- ... In Duke Senior s first speech, he refers to the penalty of Adam , reminding the reader of the Fall of Man and the Garden of Eden. Therefore from the start, Arden is associated with a world of innocence and simplicity, in which man did not need to work. In the forest of Eden, the life of man is not controlled by time and ultimately, death. Whereas there are also suggestions of ... trees; and also exotic animals such as a green-and-golden and a lioness roam the forest. Clearly then, the landscape belongs to the realm of fantasy. Although Arden seems as to be an idealistic world and resembles no known place, it is not merely an escape from real life. It is true that people flee to Arden from the cruelty of the world. The play opens outside Arden, in a world where cruelty, tyranny, and injustice reign; Arden provides a refuge from these evils. However, it is not an easy salvation. It is not even easy to ...

- 8299: Thoreau And Transcendentalism
- ... During their spare time, they would freely converse over the concepts and beauty of Transcendentalism. Their lives were shaped and bonded together by their desire for understanding of this philosophy. Reality exists only in the world of the spirit. What a person observes in the physical world are only appearances of impermanent reflections of the world of the spirit (World Book 470).

According to Thoreau, knowledge is not limited to or solely derived from experience and observation. ...
