- 20661: The Jab
- ... fights. In the all the competition fights and street fights that I’ve seen, my conclusion is that no one knows how to throw a simple lead jab. Every person throws heymakers, mostly, because that’s all they know about punching. A big winded up punch is very powerful, but you’ll see that a simple jab is much more. Start off by staggering your feet (put one foot in front ... have your hand there to protect your face from a counterpunch. Throw your jab again, but instead of extending your fist slowly, act as if you are snatching a fly out of the air. Ali’s theory is to picture hitting a fly with a fly swatter. Quick and snappy not slow and pushy. There is nothing worse than a slow jab. The great advantage of a jab is that it doesn’t disturb your balance and it is both an offensive and a defensive weapon. In offense, the jab is used to keep your opponent off-balance and sets him up for more severe punching. In ...

- 20663: Science And Religion Rely On Each Other
- ... human events, it has become evident that as a race of thinkers, dreamers, believers, and imaginers, we tend to examine our surroundings, make mental patterns, concieve associations with objects in their relative interaction with event(s), and so forth. Our minds compute, constantly involved with their surroundings. Amongst out set patterns and rules that we as a race follow are the terms “Science” and “Religion”, both of which are the derivatives ... would be reduced drastically. Together, they’ve formed the strong thinkers that we are to this day – and it is only through that allegiance of thought that we’ve arrived at this mode of thought(s). Science and Religion rely on each other as an integral part and push towards each other’s (and own’s) development. To back this statement, one must first view Science and Religion in terms of aim. Science defined by an acclaimed Webster’s Dictionary reads “Accumulated and established knowledge, which has ...
- 20664: The American Revolution
- ... not met with open arms. In fact, rebellion was inevitable. Parliamentary taxation was a main source of the colonists' anger. With the Sugar Act of 1764, they were forced to pay one-third of Britian's French and Indian War costs. The Stamp Act was exorbitant for the colonists as well, but was met with much more hostility. They rebelled against these taxes because they were being taxed without representation in ... shot into a mob of revolting colonists and killed about twenty men. News of this horrific act reached the different colonies and spread the notorious reputation of the cold and murderous British.

With the formation of the First Continental Congress, they attempted to settle their colonial grievances on their own, without England's help. And when they sent ...

He was one of several northerners supported over the years by southern Democrats for being amenable to slaveholders' interests, a situation originating with Martin van Buren. Buchanan's two major rivals for the nomination, Franklin Pierce and Stephen Douglas, were both politically tainted by the bloodshed in Kansas.

- 20666: Woodrow Wilson Overview
- ... to back him up. These wild ideas Wilson has made him absolutely fascinating to hear in public and people from all over came to hear him converse about his essays. The turning point on Wilson’s life was when he made the decision to give up being things he wasn’t; a lawyer, a historian, a novelist, and peruse what he was destined to do. Wilson felt his obligation was to humanize “every process of our human life.” This dream however was shattered by war. The greatest achievement Wilson ever made was his cooperation with other nations to form the League of Nations and ultimately form the United Nations. For Wilson’s efforts, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919. Wilson was greatly responsible for increasing US participation in world affairs. Wilson was a great president and a great public servant. He was a ...

- ... but just killing innocent people. The greediness behind the Germans and Japanese in the 20th century would change everybodys lives forever.

He wanted everyone the same and to be the only leader in the ... Czechoslovakia. When Hitler increased his demands on the Czechs, war seemed almost certain. The British and French had meetings with Hitler and Mussoluni but they could not stop them from putting demands on other country's.

- 20668: U-2 Incident
- ... But the President refused to undertake an effort to "roll back" Soviet gains in the years after WW II. Early in his administration he embraced a policy of containment as the cornerstone of his administration's Soviet policy. Eisenhower rejected the notion of a "fortress America" isolated from the rest of the world, safe behind its nuclear shield. He believed that active US engagement in world affairs was the best means ... a more flexible, accommodating Soviet leadership. In 1953, Eisenhower delivered a speech underscoring the potential human cost of the Cold War to both sides. Hoping to strike a more compatible tone with Georgi Malenkov, Stalin's successor, Eisenhower suggested the Soviets cease their brazen expansion of territory and influence in exchange for American cooperation and goodwill. The Soviets responded coolly to the speech, especially to the US's insistence on free elections for German unification, self-determination for Eastern Europe, and a Korean armistice. The two sides would not meet face-to-face until the Geneva Summit of 1955. At the Summit, ...
- 20669: Future of Automobiles: Toyota 4Runner
- ... the family station wagon and the Minivan are things of the past and I am going to take you through a thorough examination my favorite the Toyota 4Runner Ltd!!! 1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4WD WHAT'S NEW FOR 1997 All-new 4Runner debuts with more interior room, stronger engines, dual airbags, new colors, and a top-of- the-line Limited trim level. For the first time, the 4Runner boasts a unique ... Fresh in 1990, the 4Runner aged quickly as the sport utility market exploded and other automakers introduced larger, safer and more powerful rivals. By 1995, the compact pickup-based 4Runner offered little, other than Toyota's reputation for reliability, to entice buyers. For 1996, Toyota has separated this high-volume SUV from its pickup truck roots. The new 4Runner shares little with the Tacoma pickup. As a result, engineers have created ... torque at 3600 rpm. These figures represent a substantial improvement over the old anemic four cylinder and wheezy V-6 -- in fact, the new 2.7-liter four is more powerful than the 1995 model's 3.0-liter six. Needless to say, all of this adds up to a much improved sport ute. Safety hasn't been ignored in the revamped 4Runner, which sports dual airbags. Anti-lock brakes ...

- ... playing field. This allows the weak to maintain enough power to reproduce and spread their weakness on to the next generation. Capitalists feel that the people should be left to fend for themselves, as Darwin’s creatures are in nature, so that they can evolve to better things. As socialist writings such as The Communist Manifesto were spread throughout Europe, their opposition in turn spread literature about the social implications of Darwinism, and thus it became a definitive ideology of the nineteenth century. Beyond Darwinism’s application to the individual, people used it to justify actions of the state. Nations, like organisms, are in constant competition with each other. Often times, as in the natural setting, one member of a group must come to dominate over the other member. In nature, the snake steals the eggs of other reptiles. In this way the snake, being more fit, lives off of other’s resources and places the reptiles in a position of submission. Governments used this idea to defend their holding of colonial possessions. As Adolf Hitler wrote, “The stronger must dominate and not blend with the ...
