Pervading all the media, but limited to none, advertising forms a vast superstructure with ... will be advertisements on computer hardware and software, and in beauty magazines there will be advertisements on make-up and beauty supplies. In other words, as Judith Williamson mentions, "Advertisements are selling us something else T. Nguyen 2 besides consumer goods: in providing us with a structure in which we, and those goods, are interchangeable, they are selling us ourselves."(13) Most advertisements have an eye catching picture or phrase that ... is directed toward teenage girls. This advertisement has its COVER GIRL brand name as the headline. Even David Ogilvy recommends this: "I advise you to include the brand name in your headline. If you don't, 80 per cent of readers (who don't read your body copy) will never know what product you are advertising."(73) They assume that the viewer of this advertisement knows this brand name since ...

- 5773: Bartelby The Scrivener
- ... as though actions are taking place somewhere in the present. Aylmer could very well live today, somewhere in the world with his laboratory in the backyard. Men like Young Goodman Brown are everywhere in today’s society, and, still, there are those who try and destroy that which they do not understand or refuse to understand like the Puritans in The Maypole of Merrymount. The Birth-Mark grapples with the scientific ... progress of the time. I think the theme of humans trying to control nature with unfavorable results is prevalent in many works of the time, most notably Frankenstein. The fixation that Aylmer has on Georgiana’s birthmark is unnatural. Hawthorne correlates this quest for perfection with Aylmer’s intentions of formulating an elixir of life and mastering the art of alchemy. Maybe Hawthorne is drawing a parallel here between the scientists of his day trying to control nature and by the failure ...

- 5775: FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
- THE PHILOSOPHY OF FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE Sometimes philosophy is called "timeless," implying that it's lessons are of value to any generation. This may be hard to see in Nietzsche's work; but, we are assured that it was appropriate thought for his time. However, even Nietzsche's critics admit that his words hold an undeniable truth, as hard as it is to accept. Perhaps this is why his work is timeless, and has survived 150 years in print.

- 5777: Biograhy of Arnold Schwarzenegger
- ... alongside his older brother Meinhard in a strict, Catholic household. His father, a police chief, often put his two sons through rigorous physical tests, as well as mental.

As a child, Schwarzenegger often spent many hours in a movie theater watching Hercules films portrayed by various bodybuilders such as Reg Park and Steve Reeves. An encounter with former Olympic Swimmer and Hollywood star, Johnny Weissmuller left a deep impression on young Arnold. It would seem that years later, Arnold patterned his career path after Weissmuller's. During his youth, Schwarzenegger was active in soccer, but he soon abandoned the sport to pursue bodybuilding, due to a random run-in with a weight room. "When I saw those animals climbing around…doing 20 chin-ups… and squatting 200 kilos [440 pounds]…snatching up 315…it outweighed by far everything that I'd seen on the soccer field" (Shaw 142). Schwarzenegger's infatuation with America further cemented his resolve. "…it was a very American sport, and I thought, 'If I do well, it could take me to America'" (Hoberman 23). He has gone as far as ...

- ... average worker leaf-cutter ant lives from 4-6 months (Howard, Henneman, Cronin, Fox, Hormig. 1996). The worker ants commonly perform superhuman feats.

Each successive mile (to ... staphylae. These provide food for the ants and their larvae (Weber 1972). For the best productivity, the fungus garden must have a structure that combines a large area for the production of staphylae (the ant’s food) with the smallest chamber volume which can be maintained and with accessibility to the workers (Bass & Cherrett 1996).. Most of the fungus garden can be only accessed by minima workers because the small passageways ... in a number of ways. Workers frequently defecate onto substrate that they have just added to the garden (Quinlan & Cherrett 1977). It turns out that the fungus lacks enzymes to degrade protein so it can’t receive any nitrogen compounds from the substrate. The ant feces contain ammonia and a mixture of amino acids (Boyd & Martin 1975) which supplies the need of the fungus. The ants also prune the fungus ...
