- 17341: Tiger Subspecies
- ... based on. It is amazing to me that people want numbers of tigers. Process is the important aspect. If I say that the number of Sumatra tigers today is between 300 and 400, it doesn't tell one that the 1975 census was 1500. Therefore saying that the Bali tiger, theCaspian tiger, the Javan tiger, the Manchurian tiger, and the Southwest Chinese tiger are now extinct doesn't give you aportrait of the process of extinction. The Javan tiger became extinct in the 1970's in a set aside special national park under full protection. Politicans and bureaucrats seem to be obsessed with numbers and not trends. Let me illustrate this with tigers. There are frequently requests as to ...
- 17342: "The Gift of the Magi": Theme of Love
- ... not necessarily remember a certain material gift. Also, many people can give more love than money can buy and it is often valued more. This theme is demonstrated in this story in numerous ways. "Don't make any mistake Dell; he said about me. I don't think there is anything in the way of a haircut or shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less." (O. Henry p177.) Also, this theme is demonstrated at the end ... Della was upset that she did not have a gift for Jim, so she sold what she loved most to show her love for him. She sold her hair to buy a chain for Jim's watch, but it was ironic that Jim had sold his watch to buy combs for Della's hair. They each wanted to give a gift related to each other's most prized possession and ...

Riding along the loop in my Geo Metro that reaches over thirty miles to the gallon. My car's starter is shot and the air- conditioning doesn't work. I will live in a big city and commute to my high rise office building down town. Each morning dreading the hour drive filled with traffic jams and spilt coffee. I dream of ...

- 17346: Does The Internet Foster Isola
- ... do what feels right at a certain time. The Internet also gives a misconception about communication. Internet is a different world that has the idea of communication in a different perspective. To communicate people dont have to see one another, or hear one another they just have to be able to understand one another. The Internet provides just that. This may seem like isolation because no physical contact is present ... Rheingold 206). Equality and understanding is the key, and the virtual community provides that and much more. Advice is also one of the keys for equality and understanding. As we all know advice in todays world is not free, and most of the time you need to make an appointment to get that expansive help.

- 17347: Firefighting
- ... so the employment is good. The working conditions for fire fighting are different than most jobs. Working as a fire fighter could be dangerous. This is because some of the work can involve risking one's life. In burning buildings the wall, floors, roofs or the whole building could fall on a fire fighter causing death or injury. The fighters risk their own life by doing this just to save other people's lives and property. Fire fighters are also exposed to gasses and smoke which could be dangerous and cause permanent injury. The hours that fire fighters spend on duty at the fire station can take away from the amount of time a fire fighter can spend with his family as compared to some other jobs (Hopke 246). John Ginn said, "the thing I don't like about it is that it is hard on the family, being gone at night."(Ginn Personal Interview) . Fire fighting can be rewarding, exciting, and dangerous. Fire fighters are needed to save property and ...
- 17348: Personal Writing: My Room
- ... deep inner recesses of my mind for inspiration, I let my eyes wander around my ever blinking room. Dave Letterman is staring at me with one eyebrow raised. Sandra Bullock is looking at Guido, who's right next to her. She has a giant knot in her hair. Amniotic fluid is being dumped onto a beautiful dancing girls head. Mr. Manson is squating down, his half naked self-mutilated body glowing ... close my eyes and concentrate, leaving my ears, my nose, and my mind to do all the work for themselves. Realizing the stench in my room has gotten quite bad, I light some insense. It's almost 11:30, and I don't seem to be getting much writing done, so I'll sucumb to the greater power known as t.v.. I turn on Dave and hop under the four blankets which heat my badly insulated ...
- 17349: When Society Kills
- When Society Kills Capital punishment is not "actual" punishment. It's a capital reaction to a type of criminal act. It serves no purpose. When a person is executed, the person learns no lesson. He or she cannot say, "Hey! I learned my lesson. I surely won't do that again," for he or she is dead. Although the word "punishment" is used in varying contexts, it is generally accepted that it is served out unpleasantly to an individual in hopes that that person learns from the punishment and, therefore, doesn't repeat the bad deed. Good grief... So, why execute? The question is one of justification. It is wrong to deliberately kill another person, yet capital punishment (or "killing") consists of doing precisely this. Cost ...

By this time he had become interested in electricity, particularly the study of electromagnetic wave propagation, then being pioneered chiefly by the German Heinrich Rudolf Hertz and the Italian Guglielmo Marconi. De Forest's doctoral dissertation on the "Reflection of Hertzian Waves from the Ends of Parallel Wires" is said to possibly be the first doctoral thesis in the United States on the subject that was later to become ... a second current flowing across the tube. a vacuum tube device that could take a weak electrical signal and amplify it into a larger one. (A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries, 1999). In 1913, AT&T installed audions to boost voice signals as they crossed the US continent. Soon the audion was being used in radios as well. In 1921, De Forest invented a way of recording sound on movies. ...
