- 1031: Mining In Canada
- ... Canadian government has noticed this problem, and has setup a Memorandum of Intent signed by the two governments setting up the framework for negotiation of a transboundary air pollution agreement. This agreement ensures both countries control their emission and makes sure they do not cause any damage to the environment of the other country. As well, not only the government is trying to control this problem, smelting companies are also paying a large amount of money to control pollution and reducing sulphur dioxide emissions. Department of Environment (DOE) estimates that a capital investment of $620 million (in 1980 $) would be required by eastern Canadian nonferrous smelters to reduce emissions by 57 per ...
- 1032: Hackers
- ... will show that the computer underground consists of a more sophisticated level of social organization than has been generally recognized. The very fact that CU participants are to some extent "networked" has implications for social control policies that may have been implemented based on an in- complete understanding of the activity. This project not only offers sociological insight into the organ- ization of deviant associations, but may be helpful to policy ... Underground? Defining the "computer underground" can be difficult. The sociologist soon finds that there are several competing definitions of computer underground activity. Those who have written on the subject, the media, criminologists, computer programmers, social control agents, and CU participants themselves, have adopted definitions consistent with their own social positions and perspectives. Not surprisingly, these definitions rarely correspond. Therefore, before discussing the organization of the computer underground, it is necessary to ... it's more than just rottenness. And like someone who uses graffiti doesn't care too much whose building it is, they just want to be destructive. GC: You're talking about a sociopath in control of a computer! JB: Ah, lots of computers, because there's thousands, or tens of thousands %of hackers% (NBC-TV, 1988). The media image of computer hackers, and thus all members of the computer ...
- 1033: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
- ... s realm. In the real world, Hermia is sensible and Lysander is reasonable. They want to be together even against Egeus’ commands, which is reasonable thinking. As soon as the two are alone, imagination takes control of them and they are blinded as to the misfortunes that are bound to cross the course of true love. This causes them to run away. (Scott 382-385) Mark van Doren explains the language ... than reality, they seek to interpret and transform. (thinkquest.com 1) The imagery establishes the dream world in "A Midsummer Night’s Dream." The night creates a mysterious mood. At night, the fairy realm takes control. These fairies are brainless and deceitful, which leads to controversy between the mortals. The two worlds, united by moonlight, are active during their respectable times of the day. In the play, the fairy world is ... for the dream world. (Draper 3173) The main theme in the play is dreams. As discussed before, dreams are truer than reality because they are part of the unbounded world imagination. (Magill 26) The fairies control the dreams; therefore they control your state of mind. Also a love-madness theme weaves together unrelated portions of the play. Shakespeare creates unity by flooding the play with moonlight. (Kenneth 29) Irony is ...
- 1034: ARAB-ISRAELI WARS
- ... until June 11, when a 4-week truce was declared. When the Arab states refused to renew the truce, ten more days of fighting erupted. In that time Israel greatly extended the area under its control and broke the siege of Jerusalem. Fighting on a smaller scale continued during the second UN truce beginning in mid-July, and Israel acquired more territory, especially in Galilee and the Negev. By January 1949 ... the Suez Canal in about 100 hours, seizing the Gaza Strip and nearly all the Sinai Peninsula. The Sinai operations were supplemented by an Anglo-French invasion of Egypt on November 5, giving the allies control of the northern sector of the Suez Canal. The war was halted by a UN General Assembly resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of all occupying forces from Egyptian territory. The General Assembly ... shelled Jewish settlements across the border. The Six-Day War ended on June 10 when the UN negotiated cease-fire agreements on all fronts. The Six-Day War increased severalfold the area under Israel's control.

- 1035: The Downfall of Macbeth
- ... and inevitable downfall. Macbeth is indeed responsible for his own actions which are provoked by Lady Macbeth, the witches, his ambition, and an unwillingness to listen to his own conscience. These forces had no direct control over his actions but simply pointed out different paths for him to follow. Ultimately, Macbeth chose the path of darkness. Throughout the entire play Macbeth ignores the voice of his own conscience. He knows what ... him that path. It is easy to believe that the witches controlled Macbeth and made him follow a path of doom. The predictions they give, coupled with their unholy ways suggest that they are in control of him. They are not. It is admittedly strange that the weird sisters first address Macbeth with,"All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee Thane of Cawdor!"(I, iii, 49), a title which not even Macbeth ... awarded. Even stranger is the third witch calling to Macbeth,"All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!"(I, iii, 50). Here it may seem as if the witches are using their supernatural powers to control Macbeth's future. All they have done is foretold his future. A prophecy is hardly an invitation to murder. Banquo hears the witches' words and tells Macbeth: The instruments of darkness tell us truths, ...
- 1036: Macbeth - Imagery
- ... needs to hallucinate that a dagger is leading him towards Duncan in order to commit the crime.

Macbeth slays the guards, whom he framed for Duncan’s murder, and he has does it without hesitation. This shows us that Macbeth has now lost control over himself, and that Lady Macbeth has lost control over him as well. Macbeth next draws blood, when he murders Banquo. Whether or not Macbeth was present at the murder is debatable, however, Banquo does return to haunt Macbeth as a ghost. Banquo’ ...
- 1037: History Of Popular Culture
- 'What were the functions of popular festivals, etc. in Early Modern Europe? And why did the authorities, civil and ecclesiastical seek to control or suppress them?' In Early Modern Europe festivals were the setting for heroes and their stories, to be celebrated by the populace. They posed a change from their everyday life. In those days people lived ... It is said that the mocking of outsiders (the neighbouring village or Jews) and animals might be seen as a dramatic expression of community solidarity. Some rituals might be seen as a form of social control, in a sense that it was a means for a community to express their discontent with certain members of the community (charivari). The ritual of public punishment can be seen in this light, as it ... the excitement of the festival and the consumption of large quantities of alcohol. If those factors were combined with discontent over a bad harvest, tax increases or other calamities, this situation could get out of control. It could prove a good opportunity for people excluded from power to try and enforce certain changes. It is hardly surprising that members of the upper classes often suggested that particular festivals ought to ...

Because of his dominant position in the fields of both domestic and international finance, Morgan’s control of private enterprise and government financing was unequaled by any American of his time. For many years his company was engaged in railroad negotiations with Edward Henry Harriman and James Jerome Hill. By 1900, Morgan ... the American economy, which had been shaken by the so-called panic of 1893. In 1901, Morgan organized the U.S. Steel Corporation, which was then the largest corporation in the world. he also gained control of numerous other American businesses.

- 1039: The Cause of Macbeth's Ruin
- The Cause of Macbeth's Ruin The specific root of Macbeth's ruin is his uncontrollable ambition. His desires take control of his actions and this becomes his tragic flaw. It prevents him from becoming aware of when to stop; he is never fully satisfied as his desire for power grows. Macbeth's judgment is impaired ... 1, Sc.3,Ln.134- 136). This quotation shows that the thought of murder is not intentional because he questions his own imagination, but caused by Macbeth's natural desires and ambition which he cannot control. Already he dismisses the fact that he has become Thane and his hopes and desires are on becoming king. Macbeth knows that these desires are evil, "Let not light see my black and deep desires"(Act.1,Sc.4,Ln.51), nevertheless they continue due to his vaulty ambition that he has no control over. Eventually with the help of Lady Macbeth's influence - whose character in the beginning of the play is dominant and overbearing - murders Duncan and becomes king. As king Macbeth does not feel satisfied ...

- ... in her mind. The darkness had stripped her of her ‘mask,’ and she is now engulfed in agony and sorrow. She is helpless. Contrary to her original belief, Lady Macbeth’s ability to guide and control Macbeth is no stronger than his own initiative. She receives a letter from Macbeth with the news that he was prophesied as the king of Scotland. As soon as her eyes ran across the words ... done is done" (III-ii, 11-12). She has changed her technique with Macbeth from shock and intimidation to restraint. She says "You must leave this" (III-ii, 36), which sounds calming and unworried. Her control over Macbeth has waned, and over herself, her control is dwindling as each second passes. The fire she once had, which drove Macbeth forward is now is now no more than a minute spark. The guilt is now becoming unbearable for Lady Macbeth. ...
