- 25131: John Quincy Adams
- ... council than a legislative body. If they became more of a executive council they would help advise the President. Senate was an executive council to the President for a while, until the Federalist Party didn't agree on foreign policy, and many more political issues came up. Senate started criticizing the Executive Branch, this led the Senate to becoming a more legislative body as the time went by. Now the Cabinet ... thought was right, and that is what his feelings about the subject were. John Quincy always said what he wanted because if he did it to just do what everyone else is doing he wouldn't be satisfied with what actions took place, instead of saying what was really on his mind and what his feelings were. John Quincy could have been hurt or even killed by someone that had strong ... Quincy was a brave enough man to say and do and what he thought, not what his colleagues and constituents thought. If you have a feeling of what you think is right, and others don't think what you are thinking is right, you should do what you feel not what people around you think. Don't let people around you influence your decisions too much, think with your own ...
- 25132: Louis Pasteur
- ... Pasteur had to do many experiments to prove that things do not spontaneously generate. To prove this, he, with the help of Professor Antonie-J r me Balard, invented a flask with a long downward S-shape. He then did many experiments, and all proved him correct! The scientists were proven wrong, and it is now accepted as the truth that things cannot spontaneously generate. Even today, the same swan-necked flasks Pasteur used can be seen, still free of germs. In 1865, Pasteur was summoned from Paris to come to the aid of the silk industry in southern France. The country’s enormous production of silk had suddenly halted because of a disease of silkworms, reaching epidemic proportions. Suspecting that certain microscopic objects found in the diseased silkworms, moths, and eggs were disease-producing organisms, Pasteur experimented ... living eggs was the cause of the disease maintained. Therefore, selection of the disease-free eggs was the solution. By adopting this method of selection, the silk industry was saved from disaster. Another of Pasteur’s accomplishments was discovering the natural history of anthrax, a fatal disease of cattle. He proved that anthrax is caused by a particular bacillus and suggested that animals could be given anthrax in a mild ...
- 25133: Good Vs Evil In King Lear
- In the King Lear play, Shakespeare creates many conditions in which humans live in the world. The main characters in the play are used to portray Shakespeare's ideas. One of these ideas which Shakespeare is trying to portray is evil between the characters and in the world which are emphasized throughout the play. The evil, created by humans, is outweighed by good ... must have given everything to his daughters as well (ACT III, iv, 62ff). Since he believes that Edgar gave everything to evil Lear must believe that people are the cause of evil. It were Lear's daughters who decided to do wrong to Lear and it was Lear's fault in giving away all of his land. Si ughters are the humans in the play, it is the humans who caused the evil and Lear believes that humans were the ones who created ...
- 25134: Miles Davis
- ... for its urgent flooding past genre definitions. Miles’ music of the five-year period is unlike any music that preceded it, and still, 30 years later, so original, so Progressive, and so inadequately described. It’s no wonder that with his transformation into electric experiment, Miles lost a huge share of the loyal audience who had been following his earlier career. This new electric music dared to shed a "jazz" sound ... always be successful as public artistic expression, but it generates all sorts of emotions previously rained in and socialized. As a body of music, this period seems highest order with no concession for the audience’s expectations or for presenting what the audience might be comfortable with. Despite the ignorant criticism of the time that Miles was selling out to the big selling rock market, this music is more real than ... crowd, Miles’ playing an open horn is powerful and masculine. He puts everything he has into his long solo essays, opening his soul to lengthy and thorough examination. The sound and timber of Chick Corea’s electric piano is jarring and unpleasant, but his playing is a revelation. His eager chord sequences that reconfigure vamps into startling voicings and his solo runs pull the group into new directions, toward a ...
- 25135: Milton Friedman
- ... great life stories, was the subject of a very tough childhood. He was son to a couple of poor immigrants, born on 31 July 1912, in New York, America. At the age of fifteen, Friedman's father died. Despite this, he won a scholarship to both Rutgers University and the University of Chicago, where he achieved a Bachelor of the Arts degree in economics. The very next year he received an ... by only a few individuals, rather than dispersed. After all, competition can only be present between companies that are on equal grounds in relation to the amount of power behind each. The controversy surrounding Friedman's views is that he promotes complete private ownership of nearly everything. He particularly supported private schools and thought that the government should subsidise fees for any school chosen by the parents, rather than providing government ... chains, in particular McDonalds, move in and take over the industry. I do not believe either, that the government should have complete control over businesses and the economy, but an in-between, rather like Australia's (or at least, Victoria's) state fifteen years ago. In recent years, however the government has been selling more and more of what were previously thought of as services, such as public transport, prisons, ...
- 25136: Virtual Reality - What it is and How it Works
- ... very new idea, but the new twist is trying to generate completely new images in real- time. In 1933, Sir Charles Wheatstone invented the first stereoscope with the same basic principle being used in today's head-mounted displays. Presenting different views to each eye gives the illusion of three dimensions. The glasses that are used today work by using what is called an "electronic shutter". The lenses of the glasses ... cause mechanosensitive nerve terminals to respond with electrical impulses. Each impulse is approximately 50 to 100mV in magnitude and 1 ms in duration. However, the frequency of the impulses (up to a maximum of 500/s) depends oration simulations. Such things as virtual wind tunnels have been in development for a couple years and could save money and energy for aerospace companies. Medical researchers have been using VR techniques to synthesize diagnostic images of a patient's body to do "predictive" modeling of radiation treatment using images created by ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and X-ray. A radiation therapist in a virtual would could view and expose a tumour at any ...
- 25137: The History of the Internet and the WWW
- ... fastest growing resource on the internet. The internet consists of diferent protocals such as WWW, Gopher (Like the WWW but text based), FTP (File Transfer Protocal), and Telnet (Allows you to connect to different BBS's). There are many more smaller one's but they are inumerable. A BBS is an abreviation for Bullitin Board Service. A BBS is a computer that you can ether dial into or access from the Internet. BBS's are normally text based. 2. The Creator of the WWW- A graduate of Oxford University, England, Tim is now with the Laboratory for Computer Science ( LCS)at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT). He ...
- 25138: Development of The Civil War
- ... get the "Tariff Act" passed. It raised the prices of manufactured products from Europe, which were sold mainly in the South. The purpose of the law was to encourage the South to buy the North's products. It angered the Southern people to have to pay more for the goods they wanted from Europe or pay more to get goods from the North. Either way the Southern people were forced to ... years earlier, the Southern States felt a growing need for freedom from the central Federal authority in Washington D.C. They felt that each State should make its own laws. This issue was called "State's Rights". Some Southern States wanted to secede, or break away from the United States of America and govern themselves. Another quarrel between the North and South, and perhaps the most emotional one, was over the issue of slavery. Farming was the South's main industry and cotton was the primary farm product. Not having the use of machines, it took a great amount of human labor to pick cotton. A large number of slaves were used in ...
- 25139: Oedipus Rex 7
- ... the Delphic Oracle which stated that the baby was destined to grow up to murder his father and marry his mother. Shocked, his parents (King Laios and Queen Locaste of Thebes) try to circumvent Hera s curse by turning the infant over to a loyal servant (The Theban Shepherd) to take to the top Mt. Cithaeron to be killed. After nailing his ankles together and leaving him to die of the ... to light. It is most fitting that Apollo shows, as you do, this compunction for the dead. You shall see how I stand by you as I should, to avenge the city and the city s god, and not as though it were some distant friend, but for my own sake, to be rid of evil. Whoever killed King Laios might who knows? Decide at any moment to kill me as ... irony as he condemns himself later in the play. He thinks that he is condemning the kill he is looking for. Our first example of conscious irony occurs later in scene I. Again, following Creon s advice, Oedipus decides to consult Tiresias, a famed blind prophet. Armed with mystical ability, Tiresias knows the truth about Oedipus horrible fate. He knows that the King is doomed so he is reluctant to ...
- 25140: Pierre De Fermat
- Pierre de Fermat Pierre de Fermat was born in the year 1601 in Beaumont-de-Lomages, France. Mr. Fermat's education began in 1631. He was home schooled. Mr. Fermat was a single man through his life. Pierre de Fermat, like many mathematicians of the early 17th century, found solutions to the four major problems ... n and p(n) is the number of integers less than n and prime to it. -An odd prime number can be expressed as the difference of two square integers in only one way. Fermat's proof is as follows. Let n be prime, and suppose it is equal to x2 -y2 that is, to (x+y)(x-y). Now, by hypothesis, the only basic, integral factors of n and n ... on the guess that a number can be found into the product of powers of primes in only one way. These were some interesting things that Mr. Fermat did in his life. During Mr. Fermat's life many things happened as world events. First Ludolph Van Ceulen died, there is a site dedicated to this long-ignored mathematician, who spent his entire life, approximating Pi to 35 places. Then Blaise ...
