When the jet engine was thought of back in the 1920's the world never thought it would become a reality, but by 1941 the first successful jet flight was flown in England. Since then the types of engines have changed, but the basic principals have remained the same. In 1921 thoughts of a jet engine were based upon adaptations of piston engines and were usually very heavy and complicated. These thoughts were refined in the 1930's when the turbine engine design lead to the patent of the turbojet engine by Sir Frank Whittle of Great Britian. It was Sir Whittle's design that lead Great Britian into the jet age with the first successful flight. At the same time, the Germans were designing there own jet engine and aircraft which would be one of the ...

- 22793: Frontline
- ... stories as they are and simply present them with the facts, they are sensationalised and enhanced to bring more entertainment value to them, however this is not widely known throughout the general public.

- ... pass any law governing freedom of thought? Do you also realize that if the government could pass any legislation on free speech or thought that the ideals of liberty and democracy would be outlawed?

- 22795: People Accused of Violent Crimes Should Not Be Allowed To Post Bail
- ... appear. A judge, when deciding if bail is to be granted, does not just flip a coin to decide. He or she looks at all aspects of the situation. It all rests in the judge's hands. When a judge looks at a person accused of a violent crime, such as murder, a few things are liable to pop into perspective. One would be to how violent and detrimental the accusations ... realize that this person must be a threat, especially if accused of a violent crime. It does not violate the accused rights, because once under arrest, their rights are strictly defined as what the judge's final decision is.

I researched a case where this was strongly considered. Brian Mase is accused of shooting and killing John Boyer, after Boyer refused to leave Mase's home. They were in a fight over a stolen watch. Friends and relatives gave evidence that Mase had premeditated the murder by making numerous phone calls to Boyer and various threats outside of Mase' ...

Then ... jealous, skillful in seduction and armed, like actors with all sorts of masks designed to flatter and ensnare men, bewitching and capturing their attention and finally leading them astray. The husband, bound by his wife's spells, or anxious for his children from natural necessity, is no more the same to the others, but becomes a different man; instead of a freeman, he becomes a slave. Clearly, the Essenes were an ... that there is no resurrection, nor an angel, nor a spirit. In other words, there is life here and now and nothing beyond.

- ... of about 100,000 troops under General George McClellan had landed at Fort Monroe on the Virginia Peninsula; the second under General Irwin McDowell began moving south from Alexandria, aiming at a junction with McClellan's force. The Confederates abandoned their defensive line at Yorktown and moved back to cover Richmond. Lee ordered General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson to start some activity in the Shenandoah valley, keeping McDowell busy. Lee went out to the Peninsula to find that McClellan's army was split in two by the flood-swollen Chickahominy River, and sent General Joseph Johnston to attack the force lying south of the river. This became known as the Battle of Seven Pines, a ... southern half on its flank, and this, in turn, fell back. Lee continued in this manner, pushing one flank and then the other, McClellan backing away before him, and only the relative inexperience of Lee's staff and army allowed McClellan to escape without total loss.

- 22799: Immigration And Population In America
- Immigration And Population In America From the 1600’s to the 1860’s, America experienced a massive growth in population numbers. Immigration had played an important role in this progress. However, the American people and their government were not prepared for expansion. Their response was not surprising for a newly founded nation still searching for its’ own identity. William Penn, a British colonial official, encouraged people of Holland, France, and Germany to colonize in the 1680’s. Immigration in the 1700’s was again encouraged greatly by the British. Lax policies on citizenship and high fertility allowed population in these colonies to soar. British colonies allowed any immigrant who declared themselves ...
