- 19991: The Central Government
- The Central Government The Articles of Confederation and the Constitution are both alike and different in some ways. Let's start out with the similarities. Firstly, both the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution have a Legislative Branch of Government and a Congress. Secondly, they both made changes to the government before them. In this, I mean that when the Articles of Confederation were being written, they used the English Government as a base, and improved from there. They didn't want the president to be too powerful, like the king. The Constitution made changes to the Articles of Confederation by making a stronger government, rather than a weaker one. Thirdly, both governments had the power to coin money, but the Articles of Confederation didn't use that power. Now let's get to the differences. For one thing, under the Articles of Confederation, you must need a unanomous vote under all states to make an amendment, while in the ...
- 19992: Intranet 2
- ... information appears on the screen. The first intention of the Web, as it is referred to, was not to create a sea of web servers and surfers. The Department of Defense created it for it's own use, to keep on tact with all of the locations throughout the world, making it easier for them to retrieve and send information when desired. As businesses, government and education discover the advantages of ... network. Users can execute a single query that results in an organized list of all matching information across all servers throughout the enterprise and onto the Internet. As recent as two years ago, Intranets didn't exist. Now the market for internal web-servers is rapidly increasing. Intranet technology is beginning to be used all over the world. Intranets present the information in the same way to every computer. By doing ... from pictures to graphs, etc. Second, web sites can contain all types of information, depending on the content, author and effort put in to them. Companies are able to make pages referring to the employee's payroll, to company sales, client contracts, and many others without limitation. Finally, each Intranet web server can be cross-linked to others, by means of hypertext links, whether they are located around the world ...
- 19993: Macbeth - Blood
- ... symbolic of the brave fighter who been injured in a valiant battle for his country. In the next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution", he is referring to Macbeth's braveness in which his sword is covered in the hot blood of the enemy. After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady ... and "If he do bleed, I'll gild the faces of the grooms withal, for it must seem their guilt." When Banquo states "and question this most bloody piece of work," and Ross says "is't known who did this more than bloody deed?", they are both inquiring as to who performed the treacherous acts upon Duncan. When Macbeth is speaking about Malcolm and Donalbain, he refers to them as "bloody cousins" A final way, and perhaps the most vivid use of the symbol blood, is of the theme of guilt. First Macbeth hints at his guilt when he says "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?", meaning that he wondered if he would ever be able to forget the dastardly deed that he had committed. Then the ghost of Banquo, all gory, ...
- 19994: Jurassic Park
- ... Everyone thought that the world of Jurassic Park, is a world of new state of the art technology and entertainment. Until everything goes wrong. The electric fences stopped working, and the dinosaurs escaped. Ian Malcolm's opinion of this world is that it won't survive, or the humans won't survive. The world has survived everything until now, it will surely survive the dinosaurs once more. But us, the humans are the ones that may not survive. "Our planet is four and a half ...
- 19995: Serach Engines
- ... day the either Lycos or Excite get. Yahoo was the first major search engine and also my personal favorite. It has chat rooms for people of all ages, current news, and the depth of it's directories are unmatched (Essex pg 74). Like the other portals it is paid for by mostly advertisement. You can track stock quotes and mutual funds in real-time. The next portal to look at is ... Just like the other 2 portals you can make your own homepage. Overall, I think Excite is very similar to Yahoo, although it is full of a lot of commercial jargon. One thing Excite doesn't have that the other 2 do is an address book and calendar, but it will be adding that in the coming months. Finally we come to Lycos, which is mostly business-oriented. Recently it has ... the USA Networks were trying to buy up Lycos. Like the others Lycos has the basics of a top-notch portal: good search capabilities, homepages, email, and community building sites like angelfire.com. Lycos doesn't have news-clippings like the other 2. Lycos is also geared to more personal-finance than market news. I think Lycos has a more business and less commercial look to it. These three portals ...
- 19996: Oedipus Rex: Fate
- ... because the King and Queen could not have a child. Oedipus grows up as the son of Polybus and Merope. When Oedipus was a young man he was told that he was not his father's son. He tires to dismiss this horrible accusation as that of a drunken man, but it always bothered him. One day Oedipus decides to go to the Oracle to see his knowledge of Oedipus' birth ... not waste a second thought on any." (Oedipus Rex, 43) " Listen to what this man says, and tell me what has become of the solemn prophecies… He has come from Corinth to announce your father's death." (Oedipus Rex, 47) In these three passages Iocaste clearly states that she does not believe in prophecies. Oedipus, has a different opinion on the theory of soothsayers, prophets, and their prophecies of fate. "The ... try and change their fate, seemed to make it easier for their fate to become a reality. Although the views on the validity of the oracles prophecies differ between Oedipus and Queen Iocaste, I don't think it really matters because there is nothing they can do about their fate anyway, However it brings up an interesting choice they made. "Would you like to know your fate? Or just let ...
- 19997: Ancient Babylon
- ... who was the prince of evil and lies. He preached that each individual had to choose which side to support and that on a final judgment day Ahura Mazda would come down and judge everybody s actions. Those who had done well would go to paradise and those that hadn t would be doomed to eternal suffering. Zoroaster s teachings were very peaceful and were collected in a book called the Zend-Avesta. There were 3 golden rules in this book. The first was turning an enemy into a friend. This involved piety, ...
- 19998: Nicaragua: People and Way of Life
- ... white and Indian ancestors. There way of life is somewhat similar to that of Spanish Americans in other Central American countries. Most people belong to the Roman Catholic Church and speak Spanish. Most of Nicaragua's people are poor farmers. Many of those in the Pacific Region are peasants who work on their own farms, cooperatives, state farms, or large private farms. In warmer areas, agriculture workers live in metal roofed ... live in adobe houses with tile roofs. The only Indian groups in Nicaragua that follow their own languages and their old ways of life are in the thinly populated Caribbean Region. In the early 1980's some of these Indians became involved in anti-government things. Because of this, the government moved some Indian groups from their homes near the border to areas in the interior of Nicaragua. Education Nicaragua has a law that requires children to go to school from the age of six through twelve. Before 1980, only about half the children did so because they were poor and couldn't afford to be sent or it was that there weren't many schools around where they lived. Nicaragua did not have enough schools, and many rural areas had no schools at all. But since ...
- 19999: Graduation
- ... made my way over to Ludlow High School. The graduating class was to be there for 10:00 a.m. to pick up our cap and gown. The principal, Mr. James Cavallo, called out everyone’s name and proceeded to hand them their cap and gown. When he finally handed me my gown I quickly took it and sat to me admire it. Its funny how the simplest things can symbolize ... yet I had to be there at 6:00p.m.. When everyone arrived we rehearsed on how we were to walk in and where we were going to sit. You could the excitement in everyone’s eyes. No one could wait for the moment in which our diplomas would be handed to us. They lined us up by height with the boys to one side and the girls to the other ... an hour of boring speeches which I could not tell you one single thing about. I tried to seem interested in what was being said at the platform to my right but I just couldn’t concentrate. My mind kept wandering to the moment why I was sitting through this nonsense. Finally I saw my principal stand up and then I knew it was time. He gave a brief five ...
