- 5931: Mining In Canada
- ... 108,000 Canadians are directly employed in the mining industry4. Mining is very important in Canadian life. Not only do the products power the family car and heat the family home, the manufacturing sector, the high tech industries and even the better known resource industries are all dependent, in some way, on the mining industry. The mining industry will continue to be an important support to the economy. Mining is taking ... recover the metals in final form.

- 5932: The Tempest: Review
- Why is it that people fawn Shakespeare and have unreasonably high regard for his works, including The Tempest, and label them as "immortal classics"? Indeed Shakespeare's works had great significance in the evolution of English literature, but these works, including The Tempest are mostly devoid ... and "give up", respectiveley. What value does learning the archaic vernacular give to the reader. Surely it does not increase thier word power or sophisticate thier vocabulary, for nowhere, not even in among people of high intellecutal refinement such as venerable college professers, is this dead language used.

- 5933: Stephen Crane's "The Open Book": Determinism, Objectivity, and Pessimism
- Stephen Crane's "The Open Book": Determinism, Objectivity, and Pessimism In Stephen Crane's short story The Open Boat, the American literary school of naturalism is used and three of the eight features are most apparent, making this work, in my opinion, a good example of the school of naturalism. These three of the eight features are determinism, objectivity, and pessimism. They show, some more than others, how Stephen Crane viewed the world and the environment around him. Determinism is of course the ...
- 5934: Cults
- ... as "holding tanks" for young people rebelling against overprotective parents.7 Other experts believe that certain classes, races, and ages are particularly susceptible to the allure of cults. A survey performed at the Bethany Hills School found that when asked 'Would you join a cult if it would offer you what you believed to be a better life?', 7 out of 24 respondents said that they would. Of these 7 respondents ... The reason for cult membership is obviously not entirely due to social class. Different people are drawn to different cults, just as different cults prey on different individuals. The research done at the Bethany Hills School is also not entirely accurate because the population is so small that 24 surveys cannot accurately represent most cult members. Although Dr. Melton's research provides an interesting viewpoint, his claims are still being experimented ...

- ... earth, which happens to be just right--by accident? The moon is poised some 240,000 miles from the earth. Move it in just onefifth, and twice every day there would be 35-50 feet high tidal waves over most of the earth's surface. The distance of 240,000 miles happens to he just right--by accident? And consider these facts: the earth is rotating at 1,000 miles per ... them is, and rested on the seventh day...." The week is an entirely universal phenomenon. Yet there is no purely natural explanation for it. Little wonder Isaiah wrote (40:26): "Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number; he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one ...

- ... act of courtship in the coral reef fishes, one may think they have taken leave of their senses. The bicolor damselfish tends to quiver while performing a headstand. Blue pullers engage in a series of high-speed jumps. Lyretailfish swim in jerky zigzag patters. Frillfish goby undulates frantically against the sand. The Sergeant major rubs its body hard against the side of a rock or coral cavity and nips at these ... the larvae of many dermersal-spawning species are light sensitive, bright moonlight may help to orient them towards the water's shallows after nighttime hatching." (P 96) Regional weather patterns such as monsoons, periods of high wind velocity, and major current shifts affect procreation. "Extreme weather and fierce currents make it difficult for young fishes ready to assume reef niches to find their way out of pelagic waters. Within these constraints ...
- 5937: God Speaks Through The Mouths Of Poets
- ... poetry and the words of God. Five seemingly very different poems all have this one aspect alike. Is it just a coincidence? God often talks to men on earth in many subtle ways.

The sight of a beautiful painting or the sound of a ... 1986 by W.W. Norton & Company, Inc. Witness Against The Beast, by: E.P. Thompson (c) 1983 by E.P.

- 5938: Edward James Hughes

Among possible influences she mentions folklore, myths and religions other than Christianity. However, drawing parallels between Hughes's work and Schopenhauers's philosophy, she writes that, to both of them, animate and inanimate nature have ...

- ... world. Giving to local charity is not going to bring you any closer to God. I see Paul speaking specifically to the Christians in this passage. He is speaking to the people who teach Sunday School every year just because they think hat teaching Sunday School is some free ticket to the Kingdom. It is not. he is speaking to those of us who sing in the choir on Sunday morning and head to the night clubs on Sunday night. It ...
