- 1541: The Computer Underground
- ... together for one weekend; this crowd included several PhD's, several presidents of companies (including large companies, such as Pixar), and various artists, writers, engineers, and programmers. These people all consider themselves Hackers: all derive great joy from their work, from finding ways around problems and limits, from creating rather than destroying. It would be a great disservice to these people, and the thousands of professionals like them, to let some pathetic teenaged criminals destroy the one word which captures their style of interaction with the universe: Hackers (Bickford, 1988). Participants in ... labor bullshit. Something that you enjoy, but have to take risks in order to participate unless you are lucky enough to work for the telco. To have access to telco things, manuals, etc would be great (DP, message log, 1988). Phreaking involves having the dedication to commit yourself to learning as much about the phone system/network as possible. Since most of this information is not made public, phreaks have ...
- 1542: Correlation Between Proper Nut
- ... my hypothesis (as there were many factors of the diet that were analyzed) that various improvements could be made to the diet of athletes to enhance their performance.

Another fact that is also important is that fat is only broken for energy in one way and this is through aerobic metabolism.

(Coleman and Steen 57). Many of these athletes believe and are ...
- 1543: Samuel Adams
- ... politician at the time of the revolution, but he is indeed the father of American independence. "Among those who signed the Declaration of Independence, and were conspicuous in the revolution, there existed, of course, a great diversity of intellectual endowments; nor did all render to their country, in those perilous days, the same important services. Like the luminaries of heavens each contributed his portion of influence; but, like them, they differed, as star differeth from star in glory. But in the constellation of great men, which adorned that era, few shone with more brilliancy, or exercised a more powerful influence than Samuel Adams." (Fradin 98) People like to hear the story of Samuel Adams for two reasons. First it ... Hancock’s lieutenant governor from 1789 to 1793, Adams succeeded to the governorship at Hancock’s death.

- 1545: World War 2
- ... bravery. At the end of the war Hitler decided to take up politics. By 1921 he was already the founding leader of the Nazi party.

Soon after he made himself absolute dictator, calling himself the Fuhrer which means "Leader". By the end of the 30's he ... the rules that Germany must follow because of their defeat by Britain and France.

He would send them off in cattle cars to places called concentration camps were they would be ... government of Canada has decided to pay compensation for their losses but most agree that it doesn't even come close to what they lost.

- 1546: The Merchant of Venice
- ... hazard all he hath.” This is why none of the other suitors had chosen this casket; they had a lot to lose. Bassanio had no real wealth to chance and so nothing to lose. A great sense of relief occurs when he does eventually opt for the box with the prize in it. The courtroom scene is one filled with tension and drama. Shylock has brought Antonio to court because he ... grade: A+ Plot: A-, Characters: A+, Quotations: A Best Character: (tie)Bassanio & Antonio: The Merchant has his lines and his character is such a charm to envision, but Bassanio deserves notice as well. Both such great, loyal friends, they each bring out the play's strong themes and subtle humors extraordinarily. Like Michaelangelo in painting, what makes this play so special is that Shakespeare shows no signs of trying to make something great by taking on too much. He seems to be writing for the love of writing, and by avoiding the urge to simply go for complexity, he turns out a true work of art. Best ...
- 1547: Greek and Roman Architecture
- ... shafts had channels in them. At the top of the shaft there were rectangular blocks of stone, carved into the shape of flowing hair or other wavy shapes and lines. The cornice was decorated with great detail. Although there were differences in the construction of temples, they were mostly all used for the same activities. When talking about Greek temples, there are some things one must keep in mind. First, that ... in the temples to worship, as if it were a church. And last, that all gods demanded they be satisfied by sacrifice, and so sacrifices were made at the temples. For this there was a great altar outside the east porch of every temple. Some temples only had a porch for the altar and a hall leading to it, while others were much complicated. The Parthenon is one temple that is ... or chamber of the Virgin, which was used as a treasury and held the sacrifices. This layout was very common among temples of that period.

- 1548: Anti-semitism In Nazi Germany
- ... hovered close to the Nazi party during its early Munich Days, espoused beliefs that were additional fuel for the Nazi party's own anti-Semitism. Henry Ford's book 'The International Jew' also had a great influence on the members of the Nazi party. Baldur Von Shirach, a former Nazi youth leader, told a psychologist, "You have no idea what a great influence this book had on the thinking of the German youth I read Henry Ford's book 'The International Jewry' and became anti-Semitic." (Pinson, K 1966:487). It is not that anti-Semitism did ... Semitic terrorism resulted in the murder of 36 Jews and 36 others were injured. As well, 191 synagogues were burned with 76 of them completely destroyed.

The persecution of the Jews continued beyond this singular act and many Jews were ...

- ... experiments, he theorized the power of steam. To prove the nature of this phenomenon, he plugged the spout of one of his mother’s delicate teapots, and set it to a boil. And to the great joy of the young, giggly theorist (and dismay of his mother), the explosion sent pieces of glass and boiling water crashing around the kitchen! Miraculously the young observer was left untouched! This result is eerily ... the Detroit Edison Illuminating Company that Ford met Thomas Edison. "At a convention Ford was introduced to Edison as ‘The young fellow who’s made a gas car.’"5 After discussing his ideas with the great inventor, Ford was glad to hear that Edison thought his ideas had merit. "Edison told him, ‘Young man, you have it, a self-contained unit carrying its own fuel. Keep at it!’"6 The meeting ... the industry in 1918-1919 and 1921-1925. The Model T, or Tin Lizzie, was a hard working, sturdy, commonplace car. Ford’s dream had come true. "I will build a motor car for the great multitude…constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise… so low in price that no man making a good salary will ...
- 1550: Old Man and the Sea: Themes
- ... leaves when he wakes up, Manolin, his helper, comes to his aid with food and drink. Also a point that might be good is that he has had bad luck with his goal for a great period of time and is sure it will work this time. Later, though, when Santiago needs him for the quest he sets out to do, Manolin deserts him, although he may not have wanted to ... another idea through which Christ did, a struggle to get a goal done even though it may mean certain destruction to himself. This might accomplish nothing but the satisfaction of doing this and also has great risks. Finally he comes upon a painful experience with his hand which is in great pain and won't move. This is useful in the place where Christ loses his physical self and has less to deal with. On the third day, he recovers himself and returns to his ...
