- 2391: Night Rider
- ... a native of York Beach. She is a remarkably bright kid with a sense of right that will be her distinction for life. The best way to describe myself is that I am an unemployed school teacher working my way through a Master's Program at The University of New Hampshire. The reason for my present unemployment is that I am more concerned with the education of my students then I am with the politics of present day school administrations. At least that is what I say. They say I am a trouble maker. Now believe me when I say that I take no offense by this description. I 've just got to learn ... wife made us some coffee with my daughter acting out the part of her mother's shadow because she was shaking from the night before. On normal mornings she would have been getting ready for school but because of what happened, we decided it would be best to keep her home. Later on in the morning my wife's sister called. Immediately I knew that something was wrong because of ...
- 2392: Affermative Action
- ... a look at what happens when there is no Affirmative Action, such as in the court case of Hopwood V. Texas reverse discrimination suit. A court ruling said that the University of Scott3 Texas Law School was banned from using race at all in their admitting. Attorney General Dan Morales of Texas has understood the ruling as “banning Affirmative Action in admissions, scholarships and college recruiting programs.” This ruling is now ... So far the results have proved the world desperately needs Affirmative Action. Statistically the abolishment of Affirmative Action on graduate schools this year in California show that the enrollment of blacks in a random law school declined from twenty last year to one this fall while the number of Hispanic students dropped to eighteen from twenty-eight. Some might believe that this could be just a random occurrence, but the same results showed in the University of Texas Law School’s enrollment, three blacks this fall to last years fifty-nine (Applebome a14). Thus, bans on Affirmative Action are having negative effects on enrollment for blacks and other minorities in Texas’ and California’s ...
- 2393: The Philosopher, Aristotle
- ... rhetoric. Therefore those who taught this art stood to obtain a lot of wealth from their endeavors. These were known as sophists with whom much contempt was held by such philosophers as Socrates. "The greatest school of Rhetoric in all Greece was at this period held in Athens by the renowned Isocrates, who was at the zenith of his reputation."(Collins p. 11) A competitor with this school was Plato's Academy of philosophy which is where Aristotle arrived at in the year 367 B.C.. Plato became Aristotle's teacher and soon realized the massive potential and sheer intellect that Aristotle possessed ... at Plato's Academy that Aristotle was realized for his potential and was able to grow in knowledge and understanding of philosophy. It was not long before Aristotle became known as "the Mind of the School" and he stayed there for about twenty years. During this time Aristotle became well known and respected as a writer and orator. His philosophy however grew to differ greatly from that of his mentor' ...
- 2394: Integration Of UMTS And B-ISDN: Is It Possible Or Desirable?
- ... future, existing fixed networks will be complemented by mobile networks with similar numbers of users. These mobile users will have identical requirements and expectations to the fixed users, for on-demand applications of telecommunications requiring high bit-rate channels. It will be necessary for these fixed and mobile networks to interoperate in order to pass data, in real time and at high speeds, between their users. But how far must this interoperation be taken? How much integration of the fixed and mobile network structures is needed? Here, a fixed network, B-ISDN, and a mobile network, UMTS ... anything else. Services from all fixed networks would be passed through via gateways. This design-from-scratch method would result in highly efficient intra-network operation, at the expense of highly inefficient inter-network operation, high development cost, scepticism relating to non-standard technology, and slow market take-up. True integration with fixed networks is not possible in this scenario. Given the drawbacks, this is not a realistic option, and ...
- 2395: Should Marijuana Be Legalized?
- ... food and beverages. Short-term effects of marijuana include both psychological and physical reactions. These reactions usually last for three to five hours after a person has smoked marijuana. The psychological reaction, known as a high consists of changes in the users feelings and thoughts. Such changes are caused mainly by THC. The effects of a marijuana high vary from person to person and from one time to another in the same individual. In most cases, the high consists of a dreamy, relaxed state in which users seem more aware of their senses and feel that time is moving slowly. Sometimes, however, marijuana produces a feeling of panic and dread. The different ...
- 2396: Franny And Zooey And The Razor
- ... that you don t try to understand him. 4 Secondly, in The Razor s Edge, Maugham s first discussion with Larry was about Larry s explanation as to why he did not want to attend school and do something with his life. Larry explains this by saying: When I came back from France they all wanted me to go to college. I couldn t. After what I d been through, I felt I couldn t go back to school. I learnt nothing at my prep school anyway. I felt I couldn t enter into a freshman s life. They wouldn t have liked me. I didn t want to act a part I didn t feel. And I didn t ...
- 2397: Dwight David Eisenhower
- ... be President a saving factor for the U.S. in the cold war. Kennedy has always had a way with the people -- a presence that fits many moods, a style that swings with grace from high formality to almost prankish casualness, a quick charm, the patience to listen, a sure social touch, an interest in knowledge and a greed for facts, a zest for play matched by a passion for work ... Nixon has said: "If I had been responsible for failing to make a critical decision on the Cuban business which would have brought victory, I would have been impeached.") Yet, his popularity has remained consistently high, seemingly unaffected by his vicissitudes. In the latest Gallup poll, 78% of the American people said that they approved of the way he is doing his job. But personal popularity, as Kennedy well knows, is ... have changed. During the 1960 campaign, he effectively used the charge that U.S. prestige had plummeted during Dwight Eisenhower's Administration. In fact, the U.S. had under Ike, and retains under Kennedy, a high reservoir of good will in the free world -- as Kennedy saw for himself in his triumphal trips to London, Paris and, more recently Latin America. During the presidential campaign, Kennedy also made much of ...
- 2398: What is Virtual Reality
- ... about $2000 up to $6 or $10,000. Silicon Graphics Inc. has made a very profitable business of producing graphics workstations. SGI boxes are some of the most common processors found in VR laboratories and high end systems. SGI boxes range in price from under $10,000 to over $100,000. The simulator market has produced several companies that build special purpose computers designed expressly for real time image generation. These ... that provide ultrasonic tracking systems. Magnetic trackers use sets of coils that are pulsed to produce magnetic fields. The magnetic sensors determine the strength and angles of the fields. Limitations of these trackers are a high latency for the measurement and processing, range limitations, and interference from ferrous materials within the fields. However, magnetic trackers seem to be one of the preferred methods. The two primary companies selling magnetic trackers are ... the flashes. Two problems with this method are limited space (grid size) and lack of full motion (rotations). Another optical method uses a number of video cameras to capture simultaneous images that are correlated by high speed computers to track objects. Processing time (and cost of fast computers) is a major limiting factor here. One company selling an optical tracker is Origin Instruments. Inertial trackers have been developed that are ...

- 2400: Twinning in Cattle
- ... handle twinning, in order for it to be successful for them. Many agencies see twinning as an economic move upward. The American Breeder Service has made efforts to produce semen as well as embryos with high predicted breeding values available to producers. They have been recorded based on twinning probabilities and ovulation rates. A large amount of work on twinning has also been done by the Meat and Animal Research Center. Since the early eighties, they have located cattle with a high frequency of twinning and been forming a breeding foundation based on this characteristic. “We believe the time has come to make some of these unique genetic resources available to the beef industry through artificial insemination ... of proper palpation techniques as well as ultrasound. Blood can be analyzed in labs to determine fetal weight gain. In addition nutritious feeds and technology that aids in calf survival have made the possibility of high twinning success rates closer to being reality. These factors enable the genetic possibilities to be an asset to producers (Gregory 23-24). “Increased frequency of twinning should increase efficiency of beef production” (Davis 301). ...
