- ... Australia’s 13 casinos recorded a total operating loss of $288 million in 97-98.

In this business environment Crown must implement business strategies will carry it into the next century as one of the worlds ... The present focus of Crown casino towards the Asian market is fruitless as its competing in a highly saturated international market.

The current volatile earning figures for Crown are caused due its reliance on Asian junket gamblers. In the current business environment ...
- 2172: Nuclear Fusion
- ... For a fusion reaction to take place, the nuclei, which are positively charged, must have enough kinetic energy to overcome their electrostatic force of repulsion. This can occur either when one nucleus is accelerated to high energies by an accelerating device, or when the energies of both nuclei are raised by the application of very high temperature. The latter method, referred to the application of thermonuclear fusion, is the source of a lot of really cool energy. Enough energy is produced in thermonuclear fusion to suck the paint of 1 city ... in the Back to the Future movie worked. It had a much more sophisticated system of producing a fusion reaction from things like, old coffee grounds, bananas, and old beer cans. Thermonuclear reactions depend on high energies, and the possibility of a low-temperature nuclear fusion has generally been discounted. Little does the scientific community know about my experiments. I have produced cold fusion in my basement with things like: ...

- 2175: To Speed Or Not To Speed
- ... is one of the most common ways that people break the law. When people break the law there are unappetizing consequences. A speeding ticket is an effective form of discipline: paying for a ticket, traffic school, and higher insurance rates. Paying for a speeding ticket is an unpleasant experience. A ticket can be outrageously expensive depending on how fast you were speeding. Some states charge ten to twenty dollars per mile ... you generally end up paying the excessively large fine. This only leads to another line, and another wait. This has to be the most unpleasant part of a speeding ticket. In addition, paying for traffic school is also a disagreeable experience. If you waited to see the judge, you may be on your way after paying the fine. If the judge is kind, and offers a traffic school option, the unpleasantness continues. Usually the traffic school is no where near to the courthouse, which causes you to search to find the it. The great experience of paying is close at hand after ...
- 2176: Oxygen
- ... in which combustible liquids are produced from coal will become increasingly important as petroleum resources become further depleted. PRODUCTION Oxygen is conveniently produced in the laboratory by heating mercuric oxide or potassium chlorate to moderately high temperatures. The production from mercuric oxide is the method that was employed by Joseph Priestley, and the production from the potassium chlorate method commonly used by students in today's laboratories. Oxygen is liberated when ... the violent hydrogen-oxygen reaction discussed previously. When a current is passed through water the liquid is decomposed at the electrodes. This method is also used to produce oxygen on a commercial scale when a high-purity product is desired. The more economical, and therefore preferred, method for the commercial production of oxygen is the liquefaction and distillation of air. The air is cooled until it liquefies, principally by being made ... astronauts is a source of oxygen gas. Similarly, persons ill with respiratory diseases that interfere with normal respiration, such as pneumonia and emphysema, are often kept in OXYGEN TENTS and HYPERBARIC CHAMBERS, the latter administering high-pressure oxygen, may be used to treat a variety of ailments. IMPORTANT COMPOUNDS In the realm of inorganic chemistry there is a very large number of oxygen- containing compounds. There are very few elements ...
- 2177: Censorship
- ... a more realistic approach to the life both fiction and non-fiction, with subjects that include sex, homosexuality, divorce, child abuse, drugs, violence, etc. And they are these realistic books that have people outraged. In school libraries, the most frequent complaints come from parents about the school's selections. And in public libraries, parents were once again the single greatest source of challenges to materials. The world is filled with "obscene" things. And it would seem that those parents are just trying to protect their children from the outside world. But does it really help? These day, an average elementary school student knows many things. They are influenced by a wide range of sources, from television and other forms of media, their environment at home and school, their personality and their background. Why they read ...
- 2178: A Separate Peace: Contrasting Gene and Phineas and the Struggle for Power

For example, he and three others come to look at a tree, which is considered among the Upper Middler students at Devon an impossibility. Phineas demonstrates his supreme power by stating that the tree is ... by gaining the respect of fellow classmates. Phineas' spontaneity inspires many others to be like himself and jump off the tree.

We here, again, see him as the spontaneous individual who "can get away with anything" (p.18). Phineas' nature inspired Mr. Patch-Withers, a teacher at Devon. Phineas has an ...
- 2179: Ovarian Cancer
- ... cell lines which provide a reproducible source of tumor material. Among the major clinical problems of ovarian cancer, malignant progression, rapid emergence of drug resistance, and associated cross-resistance remain unresolved. Ovarian cancer has a high frequency of metastasis yet generally remains localized within the peritoneal cavity. Tumor development has been associated with aberrant, dysfunctional expression and/or mutation of various genes. This can include oncogene overexpression, amplification or mutation, aberrant ... Genetic and candidate host genes may be altered in susceptible families. Among those currently under investigation is BRCA1 which has been associated with an increased susceptibility to breast cancer. Approximately 30% of ovarian adenocarcinomas express high levels of HER-2/neu oncogene which correlates with a poor prognosis (Altcheck, 375-376). Mutations in host tumor suppresser gene p53 are found in 50% of ovarian carcinomas. There also appears to be a ... or solid, with the great majority displaying a mixture of these patterns. The hobnail and clear cells predominate with tubular and solid forms, respectively (Barber, 214). Clear cell adenocarcinoma tissue fixed with alcohol shows a high cytoplasmic glycogen content which can be shown by means of special staining techniques. Abundant extracellular and rare intracellular neutral mucin mixed with sulfate and carboxyl group is usually present. The clear cells are recognized ...
- 2180: Hawks
- ... Even ground squirrels and field mice. Almost all rodents along with fish which are eaten by certain kinds of hawks. The hawk lives amongst the tallest trees in the woods. They plant their nest very high up so they can keep a close lookout on everything that is going on. It also helps to have the nest high to keep predators away from the hawks young. Feeding and Defense Adaptations Hawks are not nocturnal, like the owl, but only come out during the day to hunt. What a hawk does to get food is to soar very high up in the sky peering down in the fields and grasslands looking for something to eat weather it be a mouse or a chipmunk or even a snake. Some hawks will chase down birds ...
