.... sea to get more supplies in which each trip took almost three months. Unfortunately, on their way back to Roanoke, their supplies ships sank during the great seastorm and seven out of eleven chiefest colonists were drowned. The rest of the crews, after experiencing this disaster, lost their faith and hope. However, they managed to get to Roanoke some time much later than expected. They arrived too late. The land was deserted. It was guessed that the colonists who stayed behind probably died of hunger before the supplies ships arrived. Also, those colonists were left behind alone with no protection from the attack of the native Indians. W .....

.... that human failings create. I chose to use ‘The Code of Chivalry’ for my comparisons on literary characters great successes and failures. For my first example, I chose the brave and fearless Beowulf. According to the 19th code of chivalry, one must ‘Destroy evil in all of its monstrous forms,’ and also ‘Exhibit courage in word and deed.’ Beowulf proclaimed to fight the evil Grendel, saying “We shall fight for our lives, foe against foe; and he whom death takes off must resign himself to the judgment of God (1200).� After the battle, the terror-filled Grendel crept away, mortally wounded. Beowulf had upheld this partic .....

.... and economic variables) 5) Growth of Trade and Foreign Investment 6) Improvement in Technology and Infrastructure Note that in comparison to other Southeast Asian countries (except Singapore), Thailand has a relatively better performance in agriculture and service industries during the mid and late 80s. For example, the cultivation, processing, and export of agricultural products, especially rice, was traditionally the mainstay of the Thai economy. Although Thailand has long been among the most prosperous of the Asian nations, its dependence on a single crop made it extremely vulnerable to fluctuations .....

.... they formed a confederacy, the Confederate States of America. Delaware was a slaveholding border state with many Confederate sympathizers; Lincoln did not carry the state in 1860. However, Delaware had more economic ties with the North than with the South; by 1860 fewer than 2000 of the almost 22,000 blacks in the state were slaves, and most Delawareans opposed the extension of slavery. There was never any movement in Delaware to secede from the Union, and it remained loyal during the American Civil War (1861-1865) that followed the secessions. More than 13,000 Delawareans, nearly one-tenth of the state’s population, served in the Union Ar .....

.... little direct influence on monetary policy. Monetary policy was controlled by private banks, and so monetary policy reflected their market response to economic circumstances. Banks determined short-term interest rates through their competition for deposits and were key planners in the foreign exchange market during the early years of depression. The fact that Sir Robert Gibson was Chair of the Commonwealth Bank only added to the Governments predicament. Gibson's thoughts on economic policy were conservative, and under existing legislation, he was answerable to no one except the Bank Board, which he dominated. Consequently, the Government la .....

.... The feudal system begins to fail when the goals and desires of the common peasant cannot be achieved through such an archaic doctrine. Various successive Czars attempt social reforms which do not leave an impact on the country's well-being. In December of 1825, an uprising from the populace occures when they demand changes to the economic system. With the development of the American, French and Spanish constitutions, the serfs now demanded the abolishment of the monarchy dictatorship, communal ownership of land and many other civil and social reforms. Unfortunately, their rebellion was quickly dismantled by the Czar's military facti .....

.... Japan continues to resist showing more damage has to be done in order to get a surrender. This also shows conventional weapons are not proving to be effective and something more potent is required. The tremendous shock of the blast will precipitate a swift surrender. Enough American lives have already been lost and in the long run, the bomb will cost fewer lives. The attack on Iwo Jima alone has cost us 25000 casualties and nearly 7000 deaths, a rather high price to pay for an eight-square-mile island. Okinawa cost us even more, we received 50000 casualties while the Japanese suffered 100000. Too many American lives have .....

.... “Your Honor, this is preposterous!� (page 75) said Davenport as he tries to object to Drummond’s witness (Brady). The judge believed the actions of Drummond to be highly unorthodox and claimed to have never known a prosecuting attorney to be called as a witness. Brady agreed replying, “Your Honor, this entire trial is unorthodox. If the interests of Right and Justice will be served, I will take the stand.� (page 75) Brady, at times, can be quite ignorant and the decision he made to take the witness stand proved it. Brady did not know how much Drummond knew about the Bible but instead he believed all the rumors he heard a .....

.... just place these in the fireworks and have them work, however, the emitting molecules, especially SrCl and BaCl, are so reactive that they cannot be packed directly into a firework. To generate them, we need pyrotechnic compositions designed to generate the above molecules, to evaporate them into the flame and to keep them at as high temperature as possible to achieve maximum light output. To get good colors, there must be substantial amounts of emitters present in the flame. The emitters are not alone: in order to achieve the high temperature, a fuel - oxidizer system is also needed, as well as some additional ingredients. The colors of ae .....

.... until "gangsta" rap came about. What sparked this change and who was behind it? I want to explore "gangsta" rap from the beginning until now. I want to research the major players in the rap game, who they are and what some of their lyrics are saying. Today our society is bursting at the seams with violence. There is fighting in other countries like Kosovo, shootings in schools, and violence on television. In my opinion, though, nothing has a greater effect on the youth of America than rap music. However, this isn’t a new issue, there has been for years. Such as, gang violence, references to drive-by shootings and homicides in songs .....
