- ... the idea. He said, "My doctor gives it to me every day…Anybody who says saccharin is injurious to health is an idiot"(Corcoran 12). Saccharin survived the onslaught for another forty years. It wasn't until the bittersweet chemical hit the mainstream consumer market in such things as diet sodas, pharmaceuticals, and chewing gum that it came under fire again.

Oh how sweet it was to see them snap at her again from the red eiderdown!…But the nose, which was of some black composition, wasn’t at all firm. It must have had a knockdown somehow. Never mind-a dab of black sealing wax when the time came-when it was absolutely necessary…Little rogue. Yes she really felt like that ... huge walking stick, and a big old woman, siting upright, with a roll of knitting on her embroidered apron.” (Pg. 50) This was her existence.

- 6784: Sonnet 71: Forget Me When I’m Gone?
- ... said it to be, “one of the perfect English poems, though it is not among the mighty ones.” Although the meaning of this poem may be deep and twisting, its form is very simple. It’s obviously a Shakespearean sonnet. It contains three quatrains and a couplet. The rhyme is alternating in form (ABABCDCDEFEFGG). As most of Shakespeare’s sonnets, Sonnet 71 is also written in iambic pentameter. As I said, the form is very generic. The poet is not distinguished as a man or woman, and neither is his/her audience. However, the poet is talking to a close companion or family member or even lover. The poet is talking about when he/she dies. He “says” he doesn’t want his audience to mourn for him/her when he/she is gone. He/she states that he’d/she’d rather to be forgotten when he/she dies. However, the poem has a ...

Many Historians like to speculate what would have happened IF.... perhaps the small town boy would have had a bit more talent....or IF the Dean had been a little less critical ... September 12, 1919 - a fateful day in history, Hitler was sent to investigate a small group which called itself the "German Workers Party". Hitler was not to happy about his assignment. He thought it wouldn't be worth it to even go. At the group mainly talked about the Countries problem and how the Jews, communists and others where threatening the master race and offered their own solutions.

- 6786: Chromosome Probes at the University of Toronto
- ... diagnostic tests, which, because the current tests are time consuming and technically difficult to do, are restricted to women over 35 and those who have a family history of chromosomal abnormalities. Prenatal tests using Willard's probes would be much simpler and faster to perform and could be available to all pregnant women who wish to take advantage of the technology. Current prenatal testing involves growing fetal cells in vitro and examining them, over one or two months, to see if there are two copies of a particular chromosome, which is normal, or one or three, which is abnormal. A test using Willard's probes would require only a few cells and a few days to detect abnormalities. "I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that these kinds of tests could eventually be done by an obstetrician in the office during the early stages of pregnancy," he adds. The determination of ...

- ... some clear advantages. They are leaner, more focused and nimble than giants and relatively speaking, the can be more profitable.” Smaller companies, I believe, are out to make a living and care for the consumer’s satisfaction more then just the money they will receive. They know that if they don’t produce well and make people happy then they will go out of business or bought out by a bigger company. Mergers aren’t what I would call the most successful thing in the world either. Lots of mergers don’t last very long or don’t succeed. This past year we had quite a few merger failures. ...
