- 21361: Health Risks Of Secondhand Smoke

He again fails to let the reader know the credentials of the survey. Another explanation as to why Viscusi's article is not successful is because the organization is confusing.

Also, Viscusi's main point is that risks are exaggerated, but he fails to bring out the "risks" until after the he writes about insignificant topics that have nothing to do with the point he is trying ...

When President Ronald Reagan announced his 1984 State of the Union address, he included plans for a space station to be in orbit by the mid 1990 s. The idea of having an operable, livable, space station seemed to be inconceivable to everyone who heard that speech. As the ideas for this project began to take off, the main concern was money. How much funding would be necessary to construct a space station? At first, NASA could only work within the agency s estimated $8.5 billion dollar budget. It was in 1984 when the first construction plan was unveiled, called Freedom. A power tower concept was designed, which is a long slender unit that would be the ... stable conditions away form the main tower structure.

- 21369: The Witches Are Responsible Fo
- ... perhaps would not have done this if the witches had not told him that he would be king in Act 1 Scene 3. I believe that it is the witches are more responsible for Macbeth's downfall than he is. In Act 1, Scene 3, the witches tell Macbeth that he is thane of Glamis, thane of Cawdor and that he "shalt be king hereafter". Immediately after hearing the witches prophesise that he will be king, Macbeth thinks that he must kill the current king to become king himself. I believe that before hearing the witch's prophecies, Macbeth had never in his wildest dreams thought of killing King Duncan to become king himself. In Act 4, Scene 1, Macbeth meets again with the witches, who tell him through apparitions, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff. Beware the thane of Fife." In the following scene, we see murderers sent by Macbeth enter Macduff's castle and slaughter both Lady Macduff and her son. The witches are also responsible for this murder, because once again, the witches put ideas in his head. Although the witches can be held responsible ...

"Bless my soul, a hobbit CAN be useful!" But usefulness in itself does not a task complete. There was still the fact that the dwarf's gold had not been claimed, and Smaug still lay in the heart of the mountain. The band of travelers had crossed much terrain, hills, mountains, swamps, and gloomy forests, including the dark Mirkwood itself. ...
