- ... are crept into the realm, of which kind of people there are already here too many". It seems that Shakespeare is almost mocking the Queen by characterising Othello as a black man who has a high ranking position in the Army and who marries a white aristocratic women, against her fathers will. Ruth Cowlig suggests that the presentation of Othello as the hero must have been startling for Elizabethan audiences. This ... more positive way that race is portrayed is through the character of Othello himself. He is described as "noble Othello", and Valiant Othello". He has secured the love of an aristocratic women, he has a high position and is regarded well in society. Even after his degeneration he is still able to right himself in the eyes of the people, and dies as the hero of the play. Perhaps the most ...

- 5644: The Road Ahead By Bill Gates
- ... chapter to appliances and applications of the future. Video-on-demand, and other digital information stored on servers, will be available when residential broadband networks are installed. The cost for these networks is still extremely high, so it won t be available for at least a decade to the majority of the homes in the United States. This is an example of how general-purpose devices are replacing special-purpose devices. Video-on-demand will replace VCRs in the same way that telephone answering machines have evolved into voicemail. Gates feels that high-definition television will not catch on until the broadband network is in use, and so screens for TV and PC will improve in quality and that most will be flat-panel displays. Bill Gates goes ...
- 5645: To Race the Wind by Krents and All But My Life Klein
- ... like everyone else. Making friends was one object in life that was very hard for Harold. He was always the boy on the side, wanting to be with the others. To the normal children in school, Harold was merely an object of ridicule and torment. Any friendship that Harold managed to make, dwindled away for some reason or another, but usually having something to deal with his blindness. Hardships controlled his life, one after another. He needed to learn to read and write Braille in order to return to school. This proved to be a test of his strength, as well as that of his mother. They both became frustrated with each other many a times, and she occasionally called him stupid. Harold always tried ...

- ... was a surefire way to receive boffo box-office returns. These days star power is limited, and often meaningless, unless the film strikes a nerve with audiences. "There's no justification for any of these high salaries unless you get the actor in a film with a terrific idea," said an anonymous studio executive. "Look at Mr. Holland's Opus. The film was cheap. Richard Dreyfuss is no longer a star ... near future. It gets to be impractical at a certain point." Until then, studios will continue to shell out the big bucks to stars they see as insurance policies that guarantee box office draw and high Nielsen ratings. Comedian Sandra Bernhard summarizes our feelings best when she said, "It's out of control, inflated, bloated, and grotesque but I wouldn't mind making a million for doing a movie myself."

- ... it. Similar to acute stress, chronic stress is also a cause of the common cold. According to Dr. Cohen, chronic factors like a fear of flunking out of college, repeated racial harassment, living in a high-crime neighborhood and the terminal illness of a spouse can cause a cold.

People who have weakened immune system are likely to catch a cold. People who sleep less than usual, letting the exercise regimen slip or have a high volume of alcohol in their system can weaken their immune system. Weakening the immune system will not allow the body to fight off the virus that it needs too. Thus getting the person sick. There ...
- 5648: George Washington
- ... the creation of the Bank of the United States, assumption of state debts, and excise taxes, especially on whiskey, by which the federal government would assert its power to levy controversial taxes and import duties high enough to pay the interest on the new national debt. Similarly, he allowed Jefferson to pursue a policy of seeking trade and cooperation with all European nations. Washington did not foresee that Hamilton's and Jefferson's policies were ultimately incompatible. Hamilton's plan for an expanding national debt yielding an attractive rate of return for investors depended on a high level of trade with Britain generating enough import-duty revenue to service the debt. Hamilton therefore felt that he had to meddle in foreign policy to the extent of leaking secret dispatches to the British ...
