Jamie(my girlfriend) and I were returning on a Sunday afternoon from a very successful and safe caving trip to the Great Basin National Park. The weather was just right for traveling and we were reminiscing about all of the beautiful natural formations we saw underground. Caving is a very exciting sport, upon entering a cave you ... I said this half heatedly based on the fact that I was moving slower and slower as we progressed. Seeing that we were close enough to the precipice I stopped the car next to a great looking desert bush. Jamie and I got out, adorned some light caving gear and made the trek through the soft sand to the rock formation. What seemed to be glorious holes from the highway ...

- 2833: Operation Barbarossa: A Good Plan?
- ... that the Russians would be defeated in a very short time. Adolf Hitler's overconfidence justifiably stemmed from the crushing defeats which his army had administered in Poland, France, Norway, Holland, Belgium and almost certainly Great Britain had the English Channel not stood in his way.iv Another important point that Macksey describes is the lack of hard intelligence that the Germans possessed about the Russian army and their equipment, deployment ... with troops that were used to the cold weather all their lives and had the proper clothing to stay outdoors for days on end, the Russians counter-attacked along a 960 km front and had great success. The 'do-or-die' Russian troops would send out groups of darkly clad men to sacrifice themselves and draw German fire while white-clad, camouflaged Russian troops would come in along the snow and attack. While the German suffered great losses, they were able to hold on to key towns that they had previously occupied and the war in Russia swung back and forth. As the front settled into a stalemate, the Red Army ...
- 2834: Development of The Civil War
- ... one nation, differences between the States had been worked out through compromises. By 1861 these differences between the Northern States (which included the Mid-Western and Western States) and the Southern States had become so great that compromise would no longer work. Thus, a conflict started within our nation that was called the Civil War. For more than 30 years arguments between the North and South had been growing. One of ... and perhaps the most emotional one, was over the issue of slavery. Farming was the South's main industry and cotton was the primary farm product. Not having the use of machines, it took a great amount of human labor to pick cotton. A large number of slaves were used in the South to provide the labor. Many slaves were also used to provide labor for the various household chores that ... guaranteed the right to own property and protected against seizure of property. A slave was property. The people of the Southern States did not like the northern people telling them that owning slaves was a great wrong.

- 2835: Crime And Punishment Value Sys
- ... e. the murder of the pawnbroker and her sister. He knows that what he did was wrong and is willing to suffer for his crime, and he does throughout the whole book with his constant depression. Dostoesky believes in punishment for your crimes, this is why he shows Raskolnokov suffering through most of the novel, to show his great love for penance.

- 2836: Basketball Needs to Be Fixed
- ... losing its most talented players to the NBA as many as three years early. This has resulted in not only an overall lessening of the game, but in certain circumstances caused the downfall of once great basketball programs. This is how it happens, colleges recruit players based on what their needs are or what they will need shortly in the future. So let us say that one school has a great core of sophomore and junior players for an upcoming season. The coaches do not have the need or the room for many new top notch players. So all of the top recruits find other schools to go to. Then, let us say that the great core of players leaves for the NBA, leaving the team with mediocre players and a horrible season to look forward to. By the next recruiting period comes around, the school's reputation has been ...

Willy believes that ... lies in the past). Despite the seriousness of the two aforementioned problems, Willy s most serious problem is in my opinion the problem he has with being stuck in the past. He obviously regrets a great deal of his actions in the past, and frequently has waking dreams, in which he re-enacts the moments in question. For the most part, these dreams involve Willy s brother Ben, and show how ... and so when a project doesn t work immediately, they simply give up instead of trying harder. An example of this is when the boys attempt to start their own business. They start off with great dreams, but as soon as Biff fails to obtain the money from Oliver, they seem to abandon the idea completely, not even thinking about trying to borrow the money from anyone else.

- 2838: Hopes and Dreams
- ... subjects like Physics and Biology, I was especially fond of chemistry. My fondness of chemistry was attributed to my chemistry teacher Mr. Ang, in the eleventh grade who motivated me to explore every topic in great depth.

- 2839: Russia Crisis: Economical, Political, and Moral
- ... economic hardship in this, there is humiliation, too. The dishonest, on the other hand, thrive here. Many Russians wonder why the West still supports Boris Yeltsin President Clinton came here and was embraced in a great bear-hug by President Yeltsin. Beside Boris Yeltsin's, President Clinton's woes and his misdemeanours seem trifling. It is mystifying to many Russians that the West still supports Boris Yeltsin, seeing him as a ... imported more limousines than any other was Zaire. I sometimes feel I am watching the Africanisation of Russia. Travelling around this country is like travelling around Africa. You can see that there was once a great empire here, flawed of course, ultimately, fatally flawed and cruel as in Africa, but coherent and capable of unlocking great wealth and it no longer works. Only the shell of it remains. And when exasperated Russians say that things cannot possibly get any worse for them, I think of the African experience of long ...

Gavanta shows that the elite has the power, such as material control, political and institutional control, and even ideological control. The elite control the political resources, such as jobs, and have great influence, while the poor have no voice in the decision making processes of government. An example of this is that the majority of resources of the ARC has gone to the more urban areas of ... unnecessary layer of bureaucracy and putting the responsibility to solve Appalachias problems back to the states. However, it is doubtful that the ARC will be ended in the near future. It has done a great job in building strong support in Congress for the program.
