- 23101: Computers In Business
- ... Hardware: To keep up with the fastest technology that dominates the market is to be a sensible buyer. A system can be outdated in a matter of two years time. Software applications based on today's needs require more hard disk space and speed to run efficiently. The most powerful system would be the 586 machine which was developed in November, 1992. The space required on a business system depends on ... RAM memory as well as hard disk space. An application developed in 1993, probably will be to powerful and run quite slow on a previous system that was 'top of the line' in 1991. That's why it is important for companies to understand that they must think years down the road before spending thousands of dollars on the technology of today. The best way is to prepare for the future ... Computer viruses are always present somewhere in a disk or computer system ready to strike. If an over powering, destructive virus enters a network system, all data can be severely damaged or lost completely. That's why there is back-up drives to store existing data that is written onto the disk each day. Anti virus programs are there to alert the user and wipe the virus off the system ...
- 23102: The Crucible and Similarities to The McCarthy Era
- The Crucible and Similarities to The McCarthy Era Many times history tends to repeat itself. During the late 1600s witch hunts occurred in Massachusetts; over two hundred years later a similar witch hunt occurred in the search for communists during the McCarthy era. The playwright Arthur Miller made connections between these two events, which ... was not. During these two time periods there were some people who understood that these hunts were irrational and should not be going on. The author of the play, Miller understood this in the 1950s. So did people in the late seventeenth century, as portrayed by Miller in The Crucible. Once such character in the play was that of John Proctor. Miller tried to fight the hunt for communists by ... the witch hunts by attempting to convince the town of Salem that the testimony of the girls, of which one had had an affair with Proctor, could not be believed. Miller places himself in Proctors character in order to get his point across to the people of the 1950s. It is easy to see the many connections between the witch hunts and the communist hunts. It is obvious ...
- 23103: Frost, Robert
- ... but they have had a difficult time because his writing "romanticizes the rural simplicity that he loved while probing into the mysteries of the universe (Estep 2)." Three areas of criticism covered are: a speaker's decision in choosing, a poem broken down into three sections, and Frost's use of metaphors and style in his writing. Born in San Francisco, but raised in New England, many of Robert Frost's poems are representations of his experiences in the northeastern parts of America. He was unsuccessful in college never earning his degree, and for several years he supported his family by tending to a farm ...
- 23104: The Red Badge Of Courage 2
- ... him an opportunity to do so. It is very important for him to feel like he can succeed in the world; and he puts emphasis on the tests he is undergoing. I think that Henry's analytical nature is his best attribute. A good mental stature is the basis for a good person. The setting to this story is key. In the beginning of the story, the setting is the bank ... This is important, because the density represents his fears, and the complexity of emotions that he is feeling. The story ends on a field of battle, where the open stances represent open possibilities for Henry's future. The use of "Vegetables" represents the Tranendentalism in the book. The scenery also is representative of the country at that time. One small usage of the city, but mostly rural. The omnipotence of the ... as a John Gresham novel, the narrator is generally used only to aid in the progression of the story. This book used the narrator to do the bulk of the explaining in the story. Henry's conflict is always with himself. The fact that it took place on a battlefield is coincidental. Henry fights is self-confidence. When he is faced with the prospect that he might not stack up ...
- 23105: Beowulf And Grendel
- John Gardner's Grendel gives the character Grendel a personality beyond what is described in the epic Beowulf. The descriptions in this reading outline the emotional characteristics of this creature. The work Grendel fulfills its goal of making Grendel seem more human; however, it falls short of one accomplishment. Regardless of the positive description in the text, Grendel's actions against society, which he committed in the work Beowulf, are certainly not justified. Grendel is decisively evil in the work Beowulf. He is solely described as a bloodthirsty murderer. "He slipped through the door and there in the silence snatched up thirty men, smashed them unknowingly in their beds and ran out with their bodies, the blood dripping behind him, back to his lair, delighted with his night's slaughter" (Beowulf 14). This is one of numerous examples of his savage killings, which he delights in. He lives only to kill and destroy the lives of those who still live. He brings complete ...

Mt. St. Helens is snowcapped. The first person who found and named ...
- 23107: Adventures On The Rapids
- ... applied, strength in tact, we were set. Waiting for the moment when we were able to jump into the raft, and head down stream. Savoring our feet splashing in the chilly water. What we didn't know, was what the day was about to become, and how it could have changed our lives forever. Less than two hours from now, we would know. I was assigned to a raft with my ... my life is flashing before my eyes, I saw fearful people above the water. I was unbelievably frightened. I heard screams, and yelling from above water. Then I thought to myself, What if I can't see images of my life seconds from now? What if I can't feel terrified? What if I can't see the people just above me? Abruptly, as if I was released from a funnel cloud. I was pushed into the stream. Now I was gliding downstream. ...
- 23108: Woodrow Wilson
- ... inspiring story for both dyslexia and stroke victims--but the story of his last two years in office provides a troubling example of how brain damage can affect judgment and even block insight into one's own disabilities. Wilson had dyslexia in childhood. Imagine not learning your letters until age 9, not reading until age 12, being a slow reader all your life. Rather than being a prescription for a life ... is not the usual route to such an office (from being a zoology professor at the University of Washington, Dixie Lee Ray went on to become governor--but her stepping stones were positions as Nixon's chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and Assistant Secretary of State, not the presidency of the university!). From the governorship, Wilson began his successful campaign for president of the United States. He won the Democratic ... of the brain. Now it appeared that the right brain was also being damaged by cerebral vascular disease. But he once again recovered, an inspiration to the 2.5 million stroke victims in the U.S. who must cope with their assorted disabilities. During his first term, President Wilson suffered from serious headaches accompanied by high blood pressure. The headaches became particularly bad at the time of the Lusitania sinking ...
- 23109: Bipolar Disorder 2
- ... a thing of the bipolar disorder. This form of the disease shows more moods of mania and depression than bipolar. Lithium has been the primary treatment of bipolar disorder since its introduction in the 1960's. It is main function is to stabilize the cycling characteristic of bipolar disorder. In four controlled studies by F. K. Goodwin and K. R. Jamison, the overall response rate for bipolar subjects treated with Lithium ... also suggest that hypothyroidism may actually lead to rapid-cycling . Another problem associated with the use of lithium is experienced by pregnant women. Its use during pregnancy has been associated with birth defects, particularly Ebstein's anomaly. Based on current data, the risk of a child with Ebstein's anomaly being born to a mother who took lithium during her first trimester of pregnancy is about 1 in 8,000, or 2.5 times that of the general population. There are other effective ...
- 23110: Woodrow Wilson - Foreign Policy
- Woodrow Wilson was a significant presence in the world during the early 1900 s. As America s President, Wilson was extremely influential in setting tone for the rest of the nation to follow in regards to foreign policy. Whether it was total neutrality or outrage the rest of the US followed their ... left poverty-stricken, embittered and biding their time for revenge. Neither the Allies nor the Central powers responded. Keeping America out of the war proved to be an extremely difficult, and eventually impossible, job. Wilson's greatest problems concerned shipping. Britain had a blockade against Germany, seizing any cargoes bound for Germany. The British paid for the goods confiscated but the United States thought the interference in its sea trade ...
