- ... million people, with the world's eighth largest economy, had seemed firmly set on the path to a more prosperous, modern, and even equitable future. It was led by a polyglot, internationally minded leader of high intelligence who was hailed in European capitals and in Washington as the archetype of the new Latin American leader who would pull the region firmly into the new world envisioned by the "Washington consensus"-a ... and was succeeded by his vice president, Jose Sarney, a politician who had long supported the military regime in Congress. The first directly elected president, Fernando Collor de Mello, who was elected in 1990 with high hopes of modernizing Brazil, was tripped up by the ingrained habits of the small backward state he came from. He was impeached in a corruption scandal and succeeded in 1992 by his vice president, the ... convergence of three developments: the burden of the state apparatus and its rigidities; the imperatives of the political calendar; and a dangerous vulnerability to external conditions. The 1988 Constitution, because it had incorporated such a high degree of specificity on social as well as political rights, made policy questions, which in other political systems could be resolved by legislation, weighty matters of constitutional amendment, thereby placing very high barriers to ...
- 2322: "Beware of the Fish" by Gordan Korman: A Review
- ... by Gordan Korman: A Review 'Beware The Fish' is one of the funniest books I have ever read in my life. It is about two boys named Bruno and Boots who go to a boarding school called 'Macdonald Hall'. Their headmaster is a grim man named Mr. Sturgeon(a.k.a 'The Fish'. A sturgeon is a kind of fish.) It all started when Elmer Drimsdale, school genius invented somethingthat is sort of like a television broadcaster. He didn't know it really worked!!!! When Bruno and Boots found out their school was broke and needed more money, Bruno began to think up schemes to put their school on the map.All his attempts seemed to fail, so he vented his anger on the television broadcaster, ...
- 2323: Digital Block For A Fucntion Generator
- ... make it a 8-bit counter. Tying CON output to the Up input of the second 74193 and the BON output to the Dn input does this. Also some logic is required to hold Dn high when the counter is counting up and Up high when counter is counting down. This is done with the use of an OR gate. The two clock inputs are fed into two different OR gates and so the count can be held high by logic on the other input of the gates. These inputs have been given the node names CLK_UP and CLK_DN. The logic is generated by a sequential circuit based around a JK ...

- ... was thought that there were three major schools of thought or historical trends that can be identified concerning the factors believed to be most conducive to employee job satisfaction and morale (Locke, 1976).

- 2325: The War on...Dress Codes
- ... freedom of speech, a freedom granted to all citizens by the 1st Amendment. This is just one of the many reasons why students should be able to dress almost any way they want to in school. Expression of one’s self is very important in all of our lives. Lots of us want to color our hair green or blue and get showing body piercings and tattoos. Many schools all over the country allow this type of fashion in their classrooms and they have very few problems associated with it. So if it’s not causing a problem at those schools, why doesn’t our school allow it? Some say that it would be a distraction to the students’ education. In reality, that probably wouldn’t be true. If everyone was allowed to dress anyway they wanted to, the student body would get used to see that sort of clothing and it would become just another part of going to school. Actually, most of the time, any problems caused due to clothing are usually due to someone stealing someone else’s expensive clothes, such as Tommy Hilfiger, which we are allowed to wear. Numerous students ...

- ... to be. Income elasticity is a measure of responsiveness of the demand to a change in incomes. Income elasticity is important to firms considering the future market for their product. If the product has a high income elasticity of demand then sales are likely to expand rapidly as national income goes up, but also fall quickly should the economy move into recession. The formula for income elasticity of demand is: Percentage ... In a developed country, the demand for luxury goods expands rapidly as people s incomes rise, whereas the demand for basic goods, such as bread, only rises a little. So items like cars have a high income elasticity of demand, whereas items like potatoes have a low income elasticity of demand. For inferior goods, the quantity of goods demanded actually decreases as income goes up. This is true in cases of ... destination you want to go to, but a train will only take you to the station and you must make your own way to the place. As the average national salary is now at a high level, people may be able to afford cars, so this may discourage the use of rail and coach transport. However, in some cases it may cheaper to use a coach than many cars, for ...

As far as school goes, Capone was a near-illiterate. He came from a poor neighborhood in Brooklyn, so education was not a top priority. At about the age of eleven Capone became a member of a juvenile gang ... the time Capone reached the sixth grade he had already become a street brawler. Capone never responded well to authority and for this very reason his schooling would soon come to an end. While attending school, Capone was responsible for beating a female teacher and knocking her to the ground. The principal of the school rushed in and punished young Capone and for this very reason he would never return to school again. (Sifakis 603) After dropping out of school, Capone took up jobs such as working as a ...
- 2329: The Values of an Educated Person
- ... Mother Theresa fits into the words that are being said in this quote by Socrates. Who would we call educated, the graduates and successful or the humble and intelligent? Many say education comes only in school. I think that’s wrong. Going to school will give you knowledge and yes education, but the education doesn’t only come from school, it comes from you. Everyone is educated in his or her own way. Someone has a special talent or something in them. Many people have talents others don’t have, but that doesn’t ...

- ... 10 to 30 minutes to reach it highest level and fall back down. As a tsunami approaches the coastline, it can form a deadly wall of water that rises more than 100 feet (30 meters) high. The most frequent cause of tsunamis are earthquakes. These earthquakes are stimulated by the upward or downward thrust of a block from the ocean floor. This process is called submarine faulting. These fault movements are ... ocean, reaching speeds of about 725 to 800 km/hr (about 450 to 500 mph). Upon entering shallow coastal waters, the wave, which may have been only about half a meter (a foot or two) high out at sea, suddenly begins to grow rapidly. As the water depth decreases, the tsunami slows whereas the energy current stays almost constant despite its being reliant on both the wave speed and height. By the time it reaches the shore, it may become a towering wall of water 15 m (50 ft) high or more, capable of destroying entire coastal settlements. Tsunamis usually have wavelengths equal to the water depth (up to several thousand meters) at the point of origin. These waves can travel radially outward for ...
