.... a clever, school-hating boy who can instantly change from good to evil. Lisa (age 8) is an extremely intelligent girl who is the moral voice of the family. The final family member, Maggie (age 1) conveys a wide range of emotions through the simple, but effective method of sucking on a pacifier. The episode that I am reviewing is called "Homer Goes To College". The sequence begins at the Springfield nuclear power plant where the Nuclear Regulatory Commission makes a surprise inspection of the plant. When Homer accidentally causes a real meltdown during a mere test in a simulation van, the NRC officials tell Mr. Burns (Homer's employer) that .....

.... that if noticed, can stop the waste of another life." These series of events are impossibilities or failures, such as problems at home or school, that feel overwhelming to the individual. The next step in this phase commences when the individual begins to feel emotionally broken, as if there is no one there that understands what they are feeling and going through. This leads to isolation with their thoughts and problems which is unhealthy because it gives them time to ponder over all of their worries. Eventually, if the problem goes unnoticed by friends or family members, it can lead to suicide (Teen Challenge, 1998). What, you may ask, .....

.... generate makes money for the university. Many of these athletes come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and are not used to having money. Some are even having to support their own parents and siblings. These athletes cannot afford to turn down the money. The second cause for students leaving college early is fame. Many athletes are well-known in college, but nothing like the athletes who are the professional leagues. Look at Emmit Smith, the running back for the Dallas Cowboys. A person cannot go into a mall in America where his jersey is not sold. Both little children and some adults worship him. Professional athletes are even making thei .....

.... and extension of absolute power by the nicely graduated use of fraud, force and terror; control by the ruler of all avenues of communication, thus facilitating the deliberate molding of public opinion; and the employment of surveillance and terrorist activities of subordinates who can be disowned and liquidated by the ruler, who thus escapes the blame for their atrocities. (In other words, the big political figureheads get their lackeys to do their dirty work and then use them as scapegoats.) Basically, what Machiavelli was trying to say was that if a prince conquered a city, the people would hate him, but if the prince .....

.... of time to come. The beauty of it is in fact that although the answer is probably unattainable, humans shall never tire of talking about it and it is not a question that is solely limited to one single class, race or creed. Although it is not the aim of this essay to answer the question, it is the intention to explore in depth the idea that humans may in fact not actually have a soul. By presenting the ideas that Richard Dawkins has illustrated in his book called “The Selfish Gene”(1976), I shall attempt to do this. In so doing, this will hopefully not necessarily convince you that there is no such thing as a soul, but more .....

.... consider purchasing a computer network, and justify its purchase by applying it to routine administrative tasks, such as attendance records and grading. While these tasks are very important, they only show a small part of what technology can do for a school.

Since computers and the Internet have expanded in such a way in which education can be delivered to students, it is currently possible to engage in "distance education through the Internet. Distance education involves audio and video links between teachers and st .....

.... explaining his newfound concept of a Near Death Experience. He heard about a specific case study that extremely intrigued him. “As a student, Raymond Moody heard about the experience of a psychiatrist who had ‘died’ from double pneumonia only recovering after his doctor had pronounced him dead to his family.” This remarkable case stunned Raymond Moody, and after publishing his book, this case intrigued society. This particular psychiatrist went on to write about his Near Death Experience, but Dr. Moody was the first to research this unknown topic. Although Dr. Moody set a precedence in studying this subject, .....

.... are less likely to have feelings of depression and helplessness if we are able to laugh at what is troubling us. Humor gives us a sense of perspective and may allow for refocusing thoughts during times of difficultly. Laughter provides an opportunity for the release of those uncomfortable emotions, which, if oppressed, may create changes that are harmful. Caregivers, as well as patients are in need of the therapeutic effects of humor and laughter. Healthcare providers may experience feelings of failure when their efforts are ineffective. They may feel anger and frustration when a patient rejects care or is noncompliant with treatment. They .....

.... them or just simply hire new staff already equipped with the necessary skills? 1999 Telstra Business Woman of the Year, Sheryle Moon, has recently criticised Australia's level of IT skills. She stated that "companies need to train unskilled workers themselves rather than wait for university graduates to filter into the workplace" (Warning on IT skills crisis, Herald-Sun August 10th, 1999), otherwise we face an IT skills shortage. Ms Moon said the demand far outweighed supply and that IT was "no longer something that affects just a few people, it affects every single one of us". Furthermore, she likened the current crisis to that of t .....
