- ... battered country that has suffered far to much for far to long. The book takes you to South Africa, where the land itself is the essence of a man. It as if the mountains, soaring high above the clouds, are the high moments in life, and the valleys are those low and suffering times. Next, you will take a journey to a place called Johannesburg. While reading the pages, begin to envision Johannesburg being a polluted, very ... city. The setting is more of a emotional setting than a physical setting. As I stated it takes place in South Africa, 1946. This is a time where racial discrimination is at an all time high. The black community of this land is trying to break free from the white people, but having little success. It is this so called racism that is essential to the setting of the story. ...
- 4912: Beloved and Don Quixote: Similarities in Themes and Characters

- 4913: Mafia
- ... his life full of crime. Although barely able to read and write, he believed that he possessed an uncommon strength of will to be sinister.

- 4914: Marketing Analysis Of Oakley I
- ... liabilities of Oakley, Inc., a California corporation, which commenced operations in 1977 and began to sell sunglasses in 1984 (Scott, 1998). The company is an innovation-driven designer, manufacturer and distributor of consumer products, including high-performance eyewear, footwear, watches and athletic equipment. Oakleys principal strength is its ability to develop products which demonstrate superior performance and comfort through the combination of patented and other proprietary technology and unique styling ... doomed to be unsuccessful. However, with their continued success in the eyewear market, Oakley has proved that they have a good idea of how to sell their products. I would suggest trying to get a high profile athlete, such as Michael Jordan, to endorse the shoes. Strive to gain the customers attention and awareness of the footwear. The more a customer sees the shoes on TV and being worn by high profile athletes, the more likely they are to purchase the shoes. Conclusion In conclusion, I believe that Oakley has a strong grasp on the market and it is in large part because of their ...

- 4916: MDMA
- ... neurotransmitter, serotonin. Some therapists believe that it helps people to bring out their true feelings in a peaceful and open manner. Nevertheless, the government classified it as a drug with no recorded medical use and high abuse potential. MDMA is now illegal in the United States. The increase in the dosage of Ecstasy is partially due to the popularity of raves. Raves are underground parties that are open for nearly twelve hours. As the rave scene expands across the country, the use and distribution of MDMA increases as well. Raves party scene has often been compared to as a religion. The DJ is the high priest of the ceremony, dancing is their meditation, and Ecstasy is their holy substance. The atmosphere of raves is designed to be favorable to enjoying the Ecstasy experience, which are common venues for taking Ecstasy ... and hostile behaviors, along with depression. The public needs to be aware that as much as Ecstasy intensifies happiness, it also intensifies depression and fear in the long run. Users need to understand that their high will only last for a couple of hours and that long-term health, memory, and psychological problems are a definite risk.
- 4917: Capacitors
- ... in applications where larger values of the capacitance are required. Capacitors also use solid dielectrics such as films of synthetic materials, paper, glass, and mica. Mica has excellent properties as a dielectric. It is both high in its dielectric constant and insulation resistance. It is affected little by time and temperature. This time of capacitor is used in laboratories because of their stability and the relatively high values of capacitance for a given volume. A type of capacitor that doesn't fall into one of those groups is an electrolytic capacitor, which has an oxide film formed on aluminum. This film is ... a D- C power supply filter, which consist of X- rays, nuclear research, and radar equipment. Another group is intermittent duty pulse forming such as linear accelerators and small surge generators. Energy storage capacitors using high amounts of energy are used in electric plasma research, nuclear fission studies, and hydraulic metal forming. In these applications energy is needed to be released in microseconds. There are many uses for capacitors and ...
- 4918: Marriage Asylum
- ... and who benefits from them the most? Lastly, I will try and persuade you to believe the institution of marriage should be permanently dissolved or at least reconfigured. As long as chastity is held in high regard, marriage will always be considered a noble institution. What a damnable lie! It is supremely sexist to expect women, of 'exceptional breeding' to remain chaste. From the beginning of time women have been looked ... congregational and legislative control and as a way to collaboratively accumulate wealth and stay the flow of illegitimate orphaned children, monetarily draining both Church and State and led to confusion over rightful property heirs. Extremely high percentage of divorce supports my argument that people enter into marriage too lightly, without fully preparing themselves for the actual realities of what marriage entails. High incidences of divorce in our culture may suggest that people are either not mature enough to marry or have wrong expectations of marriage. The men and women today experiencing multiple marriages are undeniable proof ...
- 4919: Its A Right Handed World
- ... handed people are much more serious than most people realize. There are many things that right-handed people take for granted that are more difficult for left-handers. This includes many basic skills taught in school, such as learning to write, learning to use scissors, and learning various crafts, hobbies, sports, and other activities. If we don't teach left-handed children just as well as we teach right-handers, they are more likely to lose interest in school and to lose confidence in themselves. It is not exactly clear how all left-handers fare in our society, but indications are that many are not doing well. Studies show a higher dropout rate for ... bitter memories about the way their parents and teachers treated them. Younger left-handers have had an easier time of things, but they still have many complaints and frustrations. How would this world, or this school, be different if left-handed people were a majority? First of all, a right-handed person might be writing an article like this complaining about the injustices towards the right-handed. Binders would open ...
