- 23242: A Grain Of Wheat And Jomo Keny
- Throughout my life I have read many novels. This book was very interesting. This is a compelling account of the turbulence that inflamed Kenya in the 1950s and its impact on people's lives. A brand new perspective upon the emancipation of so-called Third World Country .On the verge of Kenya independence, both colonizers and colonized were bewildered and confused. White colonial agents lost faith on their ... who chose to save his own skin or family and betray his to the movement bore a brand "Cain" on their forehead forever. A vivid description of the struggle between nation and individual. Despite Ngugui's flashback format A Grain of Wheat is certainly an attention keeper.

Amazingly in ... of the first colony-wide African political organization, the Kenya African Union (KAU), which had been formed more than two years earlier. Recruiting both Kikuyu and non-Kikuyu support, Kenyatta devoted considerable energy to KAU's efforts to win self-government under African leadership. KAU was unsuccessful, however, and African resistance to colonial policies and the supremacy of European settlers in Kenya took on a more militant tone. In 1952 ...
- 23243: Romulus And Remus
- Numitor, King of Alba, had been ousted by his brutal brother, Amulius. Amulius made sure Numitor would have no heirs by forcing Numitor's only child, his daughter, Rhea Silvia, to spend her days as a vestal virgin, serving in the temple of Venus, goddess of the hearth. Nevertheless, Rhea subsequently gave birth to twin boys, Romulus and Remus ... bore the twins safely ashore, where they were found by a she-wolf who suckled them with her milk. The wolf looked after them until they were found by Faustulus, one of the old king's shepherds, who adopted them as his own. When the boys were grown, Faustulus told them who their father was and described their mother's fate. Romulus and Remus avenged he by killing Amulius, and they restored Numitor to the throne. They then decided to build a city on the Tiber River. Realizing that only one of them could ...
- 23244: On J.J. Thompson
- ... might make up all of the matter in atoms. It was startling to imagine a particle residing inside the atom -- most people thought that the atom was indivisible, the most fundamental unit of matter. Thomson's speculation was not unambiguously supported by his experiments. It took more experimental work by Thomson and others to sort out the confusion. The atom is now known to contain other particles as well. Yet Thomson's bold suggestion that cathode rays were material constituents of atoms turned out to be correct. The rays are made up of electrons: very small, negatively charged particles that are indeed fundamental parts of every atom ... but conclude that cathode rays were particles of matter carrying a charge of negative electricity. The question still remained, however: are they atoms, or molecules, or matter in a still finer state of subdivision? Thomson's third experiment sought to determine the basic properties of the particles. Although he could not measure directly the mass or the electric charge of such a particle, he could measure how much the rays ...
- 23245: Us Vs. Microsoft
- The article in which I am doing my article review on is entitled, "Microsoft Lawyers Meet With U.S. Government, States" by David Lawsky. I found this article in Yahoo!News on the internet.

The U.S. government has alleged that Microsoft holds monopoly power in the market for personal computer operating systems and has abused that power in order to preserve its influence and extend it to other businesses.

- 23246: Modern Day Sweatshops
- "A land rich in beauty. " This is how a considerable number of people view today's Asian culture. A region with a booming economy, and a scenic view at every tur4n. It truly is a beautiful place, a beautiful place blocked from the view of factory workers by the soot covered windows of our modern day sweatshops. For them, " a land rich in beauty" is merely a faηade used to cover up for " a land poor in opportunities ". In today's illusioned society the thought that the clothes that we wear, and the products that we use every day are made by hundreds of thousands of people working in less than poor conditions for a payment that would hardly buy the average working man a loaf or bread, never crosses our minds. It has recently be termed today's slavery (Crossette), but it is as overlooked as a crumb on a kitchen floor. Factory life is hard, but for the workers they have no choice. This is why it is called slavery, because ...

During the 1500 s, Spain discovered Argentina, and quickly claimed it for its own. Spain reigned until the 1800 s when it was at war with Britain. In 1816 Argentina declared independence from Spain. After WWII there was a struggle for leadership of Argentina, eventually Juan Peron, a former dictator, was elected President. Peron represented ... now, although when the republic began, Argentina was in heavy debt. Through the mass exports of oil, feed, and steel with major industries like food processing and agribusiness, they have a healthy, thriving system. Argentina s major trading partners consist of countries such as Brazil, the US, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and France. Argentina is a relatively rich country; it has a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of roughly US$283 ...
- 23248: Hydroelectricity
- ... amounts of water, a few examples exist where both the water drop and the steady flow rate are high enough to permit so-called run-of-the-river installations; one such is the joint U.S.-Canadian Niagara Falls power project. Although hydroelectric-power generation in the U.S. has increased from about 16 billion kWh in 1920 to about 280 billion kWh annually in the 1990, the percentage of electricity generated by waterpower has decreased from 40% to about 10% in the same period. In the early 1990s, the U.S. was second to Canada in total production of hydroelectric power. (Canada gets about 62% of its electricity from hydroelectric sources.) Worldwide, hydropower represents approximately a quarter of the total energy generated and is growing ...
