Learning: A Lifetime Of Experience
Number of Words: 510 / Number of Pages: 2
... at the Paragon, a mail order company, in which I answer the phone and take orders. I have been at this job for the past few years and believe me I pity the middle-aged workers whom rely on that place as a source of income. I can’t stand the place, but they are very flexible and I know I will always have a job, even though they don’t pay too well.
Working at the Paragon is where I first realized the importance of an education. My aunt works with me and it is sad to say, but I make more then she does. Having never gone to school, this is the best she can do. Then I look at my father, he went to c ...

Adult Cartoons Whos To Blame
Number of Words: 909 / Number of Pages: 4
... has to question at what point the parents are to blame (LaMotte and Savidge par 1).
While the parents point the finger at cartoons, defenders of these animated anarchists will point the finger back at the parents. Just because something is on television, does not mean that is should be watched by everyone. The parents should monitor their child’s viewing habits, and take the time to help them understand . Even if the content is not appropriate, a child should not be watching if they can not determine the difference between right and wrong. Cedric Veilleuxx says that children should not be a ...

Parts Of A Bomb

... at the enemy. Most time bombs are built according to the circumstances and concealed next to their target. They may consist of explosives and a timer in a cardboard box or some other inconspicuous casing.
Without fins to stabilize them in flight, bombs would be almost impossible to aim. The fins transform a bomb from an unstable nonspinning projectile into a stable spinning weapon that travels through the air like a bullet.
There are two types of bomb fuzes. An impact fuze detonates a bomb when the projectile strikes its target, and a time fuze acts after a controlled delay. An impact fuze contains ...

Socrate's First Accusers And Athenian Law
Number of Words: 1084 / Number of Pages: 4
... refute the gods
and is he quilty? Socrates, himself, speaks out the accusers charges by saying
"Socrates does injustice and is meddlesome, by investigating the things under
the earth and the heavenly things, and by making the weaker the stronger and by
teaching others these things" (Plato, 19b;c). This is the charge of the "old"
accusers. It is seen from an example in "The Clouds". Strepsiades goes to
Socrates in order to learn how to pursuade his son by "making the weaker speech
the stronger" (Aristophanes, 112). Why does Socrates remind the assembly about
the old accusers? It appears improper for a ...

Betrand Russell: The Problems Of Philosophy
Number of Words: 1143 / Number of Pages: 5
... which it should help us to avoid.
Disagreement and debate between the adherents of rival theories is, moreover,
essential to the health of philosophy. Just as many major advances of science
are catalysed by war, so the great intellectual insights are sparked by
discussion. If there were universal agreement on one philosophical theory, then
all further thought would be rendered useless. (See p.319, Small World by David
Lodge: "…what matters in the field of critical practice is not truth but
difference. If everybody were convinced by your arguments, they would have to do
the same as you and then ...

... such as empty orange juice containers, paper cups, toilet paper rolls, and drink containers. Always make sure that the mouth is the same size if not wider that the base, allowing your candle to slide out easily. You don’t want your mold to have any ridges such as in a soup can. Oil the inside of your mold for easier removal of the candle.
Now we must set up the double broiler. Never heat wax directly in a pot since wax is difficult to remove and burns easily when placed on direct heat. An easy way to improvise a double broiler is to use a clean coffee can in a pot of water. Put a medium-sized pot wit ...

What Psychology Is To Me
Number of Words: 441 / Number of Pages: 2
... considered psychology is very surprising to
a newcomer in the field. Everything from determining which parts of the brain
are responsible for controlling certain senses to analyzing the influence of
society on behavior and development is considered “psychology”. So it is
obvious that my original definition was extremely limited, but it has now been
vastly broadened.
In addition to recognizing the broad range of topics that psychology
covers, I also realized that there is large number of different occupations a
person trained in psychology can hold. My original idea was that a psychologist
was a ...

How To Grind
Number of Words: 1453 / Number of Pages: 6
... move onto grinding, you need to wax the object you are trying to grind on. It's not hard at
all, and it will only take a few seconds and a few cents to do.
First off, you need to get the wax. Though most any wax will do, I personally stick with the Paraffin wax, found in
the canning section of just about any big grocery store. Its about $1.50, and is about 4x4x8" or so.
Some other types of wax that I have heard work are candle wax, crayons, Sex Wax, Chapstick, and even soap. If
its got a waxy feel to it, it will most likely work for making whatever surface you want to grind on more slippery. ...

Mp3 Audio

... the format, the rippers that compress the audio files with the MP3 format, and MP3s themselves can all be downloaded freely from the Internet.
While this may sound like a great format, some may question its legality. Any music CD can be used to create MP3s, even commercial ones. While some users download these copyrighted songs from the Internet, which are very easy to find, the act is illegal. However, there are many bands that release their music online for publicity, which is completely legal. The only time it is illegal is when the audio file is that of a copyrighted music track used witho ...

... will probably pick up a couple nicknames from teammate’s. Another factor differing professionals from amateurs is their build. Professionals usually take the “muscle bound” or the “I am just a fat slob” approach into the wrestling world. Amateurs go for the best all around shape, meaning strength, endurance and flexibility.
The moves a grappler knows, practices and can execute are known as their technique. A professionals technique, if any consists of anything and everything, due to the lack of enforcement during a match. Therefore a professional can kick, punch, and use objects to defeat their o ...
