This guest is later revealed to the reader to be the Hepzibah's brother Clifford who has been in jail for thirty years for the murder of his uncle. The key to the character of Hepzibah is her strong devotion to her brother. Throughout this middle part ...
- 26592: Africa
- ... countries have put forth, they are building a nation based on the prosperity and the security that they are willing to work hard for, and building a nation based on political and economic advances. U.S. President, Bill Clinton, visited Africa on April 3, 1998, to give spotlight to the efforts of this continent to reform their democracies, to give praise on their efforts in social and economic growth, and to ... with Africa. The residents of Africa are hoping that with the President visiting, a new world of opportunities will be opened to them and that they will be partners insead of patros with the U.S. Although the residents of Mozambique, Eritrea, Mali, and Ghana are nations with high poverty rates, much illiteracy, much mortality, few jobs, few schools, few hospitals, and no money, they have been able to strive to overcome the obstacles in front of them. They each have been able to share in some economic success, have higher growth rates, and lower inflation. In Mozambique, they have strived for an overall people's peach by refusing to put themselves down because they do not live a normal life. They believe that the best thing for Africa to do is to take a complete step back from the ...
- 26593: Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
- ... went on, and the French Revolution occurred, Goethe began an active political life. He thought much about German politics, saying that the root of the trouble is the fragmentation of German culture. Surprisingly, as Goethe's life came to its last decade he continued to write poetry very vigorously, just as in youth. By this time he was entirely famous and a world figure. People streamed to Weimar from both hemispheres ... in Wilheim Meistres Wanderjahrde. He kept track of the technological and social progress, such as the building of the Panama and Suez canals. Just as Dante wrote his Divine Comedy, summarizing all of his life's experiences and feelings, just so did Goethe come up with Faust, writing in completely different styles and ways. It has elements of both the five-act Greek Tragedy and of medieval mystery and allegory. In ... too long to have a structure. That was because in those times you could not perform such an enormous play all at once. It became feasible only after both parts were abridged. The entire play's structure seems simple enough with the happy ending being foretold in the Prologue and the entire play being a cultural experience. And yet it deals with the intricacies of the human soul. Mephistopheles is ...
- 26594: Bernoulli Principle
- ... most lift is generated. To find the lift generated by a particular area of wing in a standard airfoil shape, a teardrop with the fat end facing forward, the equation L=Cl 1/2 (pV2)S. Cl is the lift coeficent, which is determined by the shape of the airfoil and the angle of attack. P stands for the air mass density, V for the velocity of the air passing over the wing, and S for the area of the wing when viewed from above or below. As the air flows over the wing producing lift, it grabs onto the wings surface and causes drag. Drag can be measured by the equation D=Cd 1/2 (pV2)S, much like the lift equation. The drag coeficent Cd is found, again, by determining the shape of the airfoil and then finding the angle of attack. Drag is less than lift up to a ...
- 26595: Fusion Energy
- ... like the sun, the process of fusion is converting hydrogen nuclei (or protons) into helium nuclei. There is an enormous amount of kinetic energy and gamma rays released in this process that heat the star's interior, and this realease is what maintains it at the extreamly high temperatures (greater than 10 million K) required to continue the fusion. This process has been making the stars go for billions of years ... fusing of a deuterium nucleus with a tritium nucleus to form a helium (He4) nucleus and a neutron. The products contain 17.6 million electron volts of released kinetic energy, this is great--except it's only in theory. Now the only thing to figure out is how can someone can get the deuterium nuecleus and the tritium nuecleus to fuse. The other objective is to create an energy source that ... in a thermonuclear (hydrogen) bomb. The compression is accomplished by bombarding the pellet from all sides, simultaneously, with an intense pulse of LASER light, ions, or electrons. In 1988 it was learned that the U.S. government, which secretly had been using underground nuclear tests in Nevada to study inertial -confinement fusion, had achieved such fusion in 1986 by this means, unfortunately it only lasted less than a second. After ...
- 26596: John Dryden
- ... a success. During the next 20 years he became an important and well-known dramatist in England. Some of his most famous plays included names like Ladies a la Mode, Mock Astrologer, and An Evenings Love. Another play that was famously known because it was banned as indecent was Mr. Limberham. This was unusual for this time period for a play to be banned because of its indecency because the Restoration was a time of change. He was also a master of writing the heroic rhymed couplets. They were extravagant and full of pageantry. One of his later tragedies, the World Well ... proved unsuccessful. Nearing the end of his career he began a new career as a translator. His most important translation was The Works of Virgil. During this same period he wrote his greatest ode, "Alexanders Feast," which was written for a London musical society and set to music by Purcell. In 1699, nearing death, Dryden wrote his last published works. He at the age of 69, died in 1700. ...
- 26597: Anti-Affirmative Action
- ... policies forces employers and schools to choose the best workers and less privileged students of the minority, in all, regardless of their potential lack basic skills. As remarked by Maarten de Wit, an author who's article I found on the World Wide Web, affirmative action beneficiaries are "not the best pick, but only the best pick from a limited group." Another article I found, "Affirmative action: A Counter- Productive Policy" by Ernest Pasour also on the W.W.W., is one example which reveals that Duke, a very famous and prestigious university, adopted a resolution requiring each of it's department to hire at least one new African-American for a faculty position the 1993 date. More proofs of Affirmative Action in action is the admission practices at the University of California Berkeley. In the ... students to fight for an end to Affirmative Action. The development of more racial tensions are yet another part of the Affirmative Action policy. Tensions between blacks and whites and other racial groups at U.S. colleges are related to preferential treatment. Tensions at the workplace also deal with the toleration of race and sex rather than individual abilities. Racial discrimination was said to have grown with the implementation Affirmative ...
- 26598: 5 Modes of Transportation
- ... States Coast Guard assumes responsibility for the supply and operation of navigational aids. While the federal government pays for the waterways, most of the vessels are company or privately owned, with the exception of U.S. Coast Guard vessels. Improvement to ports is usually is usually funded by state or city aid or from borrowing. The pipeline transportation system is the only mode of transportation that gets no direct aid from the federal government. Most of the funds required to construct and maintain the pipelines comes from the company which owns the pipeline. Different government agencies from the U.S. Department of Transportation have primary jurisdiction over each mode of transportation. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) provides funds to states for highway construction, improving, and management. FWHA also provides funds for several state- administered safety ... certifies aircraft. The United States Coast Guard enforces federal laws regarding navigation, port safety and security, inspection of vessels, and protection of the marine environment. All construction and safety standards are enforced by the U.S. Coast Guard. Pipeline transportation is controlled by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of the Department of Energy. Many transportation organizations exist at the state level. Each state has certain roles in the operation and ...
- 26599: Romeo And Juliet: Violence And Bloodshed
- ... of different mother, seperated at birth. They have a doubleness. This ambiguity is reflected throughout Romeo and Juliet, whose language is riddled with oxymorones. "O brawling love, O loving hate," Romeo cries in the play's first scene, using a figure of speech and setting up a theme that will be played out the next five acts. Like the poles of an electrical circuit between which runs the high voltage of ... generates heat. When I noticed that the two plays this season had settings is Verona, I decided to find out a thing or two about the place. Reading the section on "climate" in Harold Rose's Yur Guide to Northern Italy, I noted that "Italy is a very hot place in the summer, also quite humid." After reading this I then realized that a great deal of the violence in Romeo ... The mad blood stirring...Think back a few summers, was there ever a time in you life in when it was so hot during the summer u wanted to kill somebody? Tempers explode when it's hot. Here in Illinios, at the end of a ten day heat wave, a newspaper reported a knife fight had broken out when a man asked another, "Hot enough for you?" The connection between ...
- 26600: Racism - After The Civil War
- ... former slaves. Although laws and amendments were passed to uphold this assumption, the United States Government fell short. The thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments were proposed and passed within five years of the Civil Wars conclusion. These amendments were to create equality throughout the United States, especially in the south where slavery had been most abundant. Making equality a realization would not be an easy task. This is because many ... Confederates, many of which were not allowed to vote after bitterly losing to the north, argued that African-Americans were not ready to vote because they were ignorant to the political system of the U.S. The political power of the south would be in the hands of the formerly oppressed, as opposed to their oppressors, who would be practically powerless. The debate on this topic would cause more tension in ... different than them, mostly focusing on the African-Americans. Violence was inflicted on their victims, who were usually randomly selected by the group based only on their race. Government officials were unhelpful to the Klans victims, and corruption spread through the police force as officers joined the group and granted access to prisons where black prisoners would be selected and used as punching bags.
