- 1171: Compare & Contrast: "The Devil and Tom Walker" and "The Devil and Daniel Webster"
- Compare & Contrast: "The Devil and Tom Walker" and "The Devil and Daniel Webster" In the stories “The Devil and Tom Walker” and “The Devil and Daniel Webster” there are many differences that come to mind in the plot, setting, characters, and theme. One story is more specific on setting, when the ... the Devil is ugly, has hooved feet, and looks like a dark-skinned woodsman, while in “The Devil and Daniel Webster” the Devil is clean, wealthy, well-dressed, and gentleman-like. The wives in the stories also differ, for instance, Tom's wife was a “tall termagant, fierce of temper, strong-armed woman”, while, Jabez's wife was a “decent” woman. Another reason the stories differ is because at the end of “The Devil and Tom Walker”, the Devil gets Tom's soul, unlike “The Devil and Daniel Webster”, Daniel Webster represents Jabez and wins, therefore, Jabez keeps his ...
- 1172: Telecommunication
- ... the telegraph could express only two states, on or off. This limitation was eliminated by the fact that it was the duration of the connection that determined the dot and dash from each other being short and long respectively.

In A Knot Various types of cabling are used to connect the LAN adapters to the servers. Unshielded twisted pair wires offer rather slow speed, are very inexpensive, are small, and can only span very short distances. These cables use the RJ-45 connector. Coaxial cable offers fast speed, is rather expensive, has a medium sized diameter, and can span medium distances. Coaxial cable uses BNC connectors. The shielded twisted pair cable offers fast speed, is more expensive than the coaxial cable, has a large diameter, and can only span short distances. These cables use the IBM data connector. The fiber optic cable is the fastest possible type of data transfer, costs astronomical amounts of money, has a tiny diameter, and can span very long ...
- 1173: Romeo And Juliet 3
- ROMEO AND JULIET William Shakespeare s story of Romeo and Juliet is aged but real life stories with the same story line keep popping up in the news years later.

Shakespeare s version of Romeo and ... dead she in turn grabs a dagger and stabs herself to death to accompany Romeo. There laid the two star crossed lovers dead side by side ending the horrible feud between both families.

The two of them were buried together because Admira s mother thought that they went through enough to be together and they should not have to fight to be with each other anymore.

- 1174: Quintana Roo
- ... the hands of outside investors, and national agencies who had different agendas, as well as conflicting interests with the local communities. The problems arose because while these developments helped bolster the national economy for the short term, they were not sustainable. Mass tourism areas caused great harm to the natural environment and to the local communities. When the Quintana Roo region was in the planning process, the goal for the development ... for quite some time. For the first decade of the 21st century, there was no action taken by the national tourism offices to step in and halt the massive development. Instead, they were accomplishing national short-term goals of raising economic standards. The new tourist enclaves in Quintana Roo were experiencing steady growth in tourist arrivals over these first ten years; nevertheless, between the years of 2010 and 2015, the region ... periodically go through follow up studies on the impact of tourist activities to the natural environment of the area. If an area is being degraded and needs improvements, the location is blocked off for a short period of time, and if possible, a replica is reproduced in a different location. Based on the various carrying capacities, the zones were marketed to attract visitors with specific interests. Those interested in a ...
- 1175: The Extermination of Jews Documents
- The Extermination of Jews Documents The first 13 of the 18 documents, collectively called The Extermination of the Jews, were not in any way new stories to me. In fact I came into this book with the same attitude that I usually do when faced with Holocaust stories, that of "Yes it was horrible, but I know all about it already. This reading isn't going to do anything to my attitude." I, as I always am in thinking such a thought, was ... an evil policy as genocide may be instituted. yet another 9-12th grade Holocaust essay: More facts give more answers, which lead to more questions. Unlike the first set of readings, which could have been stories that I have heard before, most of the facts expressed here were completely new to me. I have always been taught that the world stood idle while the Nazis proceeded to slaughter the Jewish ...
- 1176: The US Economy Is In A Growth Spurt
- ... Dow to the long awaited agreement between the Democrats and the Republicans about balancing the budget.. Several investment counselors were interviewed. Even with that news, one economist, Ed Yardeni, seemed to think that in the short term, technical stocks would still be in trouble. He also believed that consumers are still in "parlous shape" regarding the amount of debt that they are in as related to the overall amount of disposable ... that they have to purchase items with. There was also concern by Yardeni for the "uncertain profit picture of cyclical and industrial stocks in the next quarter or two ahead". Yardeni also believes that the short term will be rough on "companies pricing power and profit "margins" because of the current disinflationary trends. He is also concerned with the continuing job losses because of downsizing, right sizing, and mergers. He believes that these things will "take their toll on employment and consumer purchasing power." In spite of all these short-term woes that we're faced with, Yardeni is still quite optimistic about our economic future. He recently published a report entitled "10,000 in 2,000" which is very positive. He believes that ...
- 1177: Black and White
- ... satirize whites in different ways through their literature. Twain also displays some unfavorable preconceptions of blacks. This can be attributed to his own upbringing in the slave holding south. The main character of the Chesnutt stories is an old Negro man, previously a slave, who engages his new white employers in many tales about life on the plantation. Uncle Julius relays these stories with much detail. Though, at the conclusion of each, the reader is left wondering whether the tale was true or if Uncle Julius had conceived of it merely to satisfy his own desires. Chesnutt has ... but admits that she had given it all to Uncle Julius. Annie has been outsmarted once more by a black man. These three example show Chesnutt is satirizing the whites. He shows, through Uncle Julius' stories, that blacks have the ability to beguile whites in order to have their own motives met. Thus Chesnutt portrays blacks possessing greater intelligence than many at the time accepted. He does this very discretely ...
- 1178: To Kill A Mockingbird: Controversial Issues
- ... Dill are curious about the "mysterious" Boo Radley because he never comes outside of his house or associates with anyone in the neighborhood. The children are, in fact, afraid of him because of all the stories they hear about him from the people in Maycomb. For example, Miss Stephanie tells the children that while Boo was sitting in the living room cutting a magazine, he "drove the scissors into his parent's leg, pulled them out, wiped them on his pants, and resumed his activities." (pg. 11) After hearing stories like these, the children consider him to be evil. Gradually they assume more about Boo because he never plays outside or with anyone, and therefore, the children are not convinced otherwise. Boo Radley becomes a ... the story: they even include Mrs. Radley into the story and portrays her as a poor woman, who after she married Mr. Radley, "lost her teeth, her hair, and her right forefinger." (pg. 39) These stories are based on the gossip that trail through their neighborhood. In realty, no one knew anything about Boo Radley; he stayed inside of his house and remained reclusive in Maycomb county. At the end ...
- 1179: Year 2000 Fiction, Fantasy, and Fact
- ... Elgan who is the editor of Windows Magazine, says " . . . the problem could cost businesses a total of $600 billion to remedy." (p. 1) The fallacy that mainframes were the only machines to be affected was short lived as industry realized that 60 to 80 million home and small business users doing math or accounting etc. on Windows 3.1 or older software, are just as susceptible to this "bug." Can this ... the second problem is the reluctance to which we seem to be willing to address the impact it will have. Most IS (information system) people are either unconcerned or unprepared. Let me give you a "short take" on the problem we all are facing. To save storage space -and perhaps reduce the amount of keystrokes necessary in order to enter the year to date-most IS groups have allocated two digits ... be for Microsoft products. Microsoft states that Windows 95 and Windows NT are capable of supporting dates up until the year 2099. They also make the statement however: "It is important to note that when short, assumed dates (mm/dd/yy) are entered, it is impossible for the computer to tell the difference between a day in 1905 and 2005. Microsoft's products, that assume the year from these short ...
- 1180: Stranger In The Kingdom
- ... had been having "relations" with a white mail-order bride that had just arrived in town. They kept this secret because of the obvious problems it would have caused with the bigoted townspeople. In both stories, a love between two different people has evolved. Similar to each story the only reason the two young people were separated was due solely on the race and social standing. (The similarity to Romeo and Juliet here is amazing. I am beginning to think that all modern love stories are based on that play; West Side Story.) I believe that stories such as these will continue to happen indefinitely in the future. Ever since Columbus first set foot on the New World, racism and prejudice has been an issue. I personally have always been a ...
