- 8764: Drumlin Formation By Catastrophic Flooding
- ... several parallels to an interpretation of drumlins as streamlined landforms caused by the currents of flood waters generated by uplift, presented in the 1979 article Drumlins and Diluvial Currents by Cox. Although developed independently, Shaw's approach resembles that outlined by Cox in several ways. Cox published a photo with the above mentioned article showing drumlins in the Livingstone Lake area of northwestern Saskatchewan. These were some of the same ones that were the basis for Shaw's theory. Cox and Shaw both compared streamlined landforms produced in the Lake Missoula floods with typical drumlins, and followed the approach of the pioneering work of Sir James Hall in 1812, on the crag-and-tails of the region of Edinburgh, Scotland. Hall's interpretation invoked tidal waves from the sea, said to be harmonious with the Theory of the Earth proposed by his friend James Hutton. Both Cox and Shaw related drumlins to transverse ripple-like features ...
- 8765: Stoker's Dragula: Devices
- Stoker's Dragula: Devices Throughout the prolific past of classic English literature, there were writers that were prone to create a perfect, high-class setting in which the characters were of upper standards. Then there were the writers who wanted to create fear and absolute terror for the reader. But the fear and terror that was established in this novel, and during this time period, seem to contrast today's idea of fear and terror. If Dracula was published in 1996, I do not think it would be as frightful because the legend of Dracula has been remade in a myriad of ways and it just isn't scary anymore. There are many devices and techniques that were incorporated into this original masterpiece of horror, but the three I feel Stoker uses most effectively are: imagery, foreshadowing, and setting. Imagery is probably ...

- 8767: Stop Pollution
- Stop Pollution We should all care. Our future is strongly linked with the state of the world's oceans. Without the ocean our Earth would be a big desert, like the moon and planet Mars. The ocean is Earth's life support which has taken billions of years to form. Without water there cannot be life. Without the oceans there would be no forests, no grasslands, no clouds, no winds, no fish, no people. The ... oceans contain tons of microscopic plants, or phytoplankton which lives on carbondioxide dissolved in the seawater. Oceans absorb up to 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year, making the sea one of the Earth's key defenses against global warming.

- 8768: Animal Farm: Power's Corruption

It's easy to see how power can effortlessly influence the greed factor. Discrimination is another outcome of abused power. People of high power often tend to look down their noses at the ones who work ...
- 8769: The Human Cloning Controversy
- ... other is the development of headless frog embryos. Dolly was cloned in Edinburgh, Scotland, at the Roslin Institute in July 1996. The headless frog embryos were manufactured in London, England, in October 1997 (this didn't get the same amount of press attention as Dolly). Not only were the time frames different between the cloned sheep and the headless frogs, but the procedures had very little in common and scientists used different methods. Before and while Dolly was being made, no law existed that banned scientific research using clones or scientific research of cloning. Within ninety days after Dolly's "birth," an announcement which did not happen until February 1997, almost every country in the world put a moratorium on human cloning. The moratorium means that no scientists can clone even one somatic cell that comes from a human being. Many researchers are concerned that laws prohibiting human cloning will threaten important research. U.S. President Bill Clinton said he was troubled by a scientists' desire to clone a human and urged Congress to pass a ban on human cloning experiments for at least five years. Clinton was speaking ...

- ... really successful merchant might ride in a cart with a coachman, buy a title from an emperor, and built a mansion surrounded by pools and gardens. This absolutely infuriated officials and peasants. The merchants didn't till the soil. They weren't nobles.
