face, the professors estimate the requirement
would be at least 100 times more pixels as well as
additional circuits that mimic the
movement-sensitive and edge-enhancing functions of
the eye. They feel it is possible to achieve this
number of pixels in the near future. When it does
arrive, the new technology will likely be capable
of recognizing human faces. Visual recognition
would have an undeniable effect on reducing crime

Man On My Left Hair And Wore Water
902 words
Driving across the bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard
one sunny Saturday afternoon, I was overcome with
the gentle breeze blowing through my open window
and decided to stop for a little while. I pulled
off the highway and parked the car. Upon exiting
the car, I walked to the edge of the water and sat
down. As I sat on the warm sand, I began to pick
up handfuls of the sand and let it slowly filter
through my open fingers. I also became aware of
the activities going on around me. A man to my

illustrations, photographs, animations, and films.
In 1963, Ivan Sutherland, a graduate student at

computers. Sutherland's Sketchpad, which ran on a
minicomputer and used a light pen to draw lines on
a screen, was the first of a long line of graphics
software programs that have revolutionized
commercial and, to some extent, noncommercial
illustration and design. In the early days of

Rahzel M. Brown was born in Queens, New York and
recalls that not having was never an excuse for
not doing. Just as in its most organic state the
essence of hip hop is making something out of
nothing, Rahzel learned how to feed his need to be
creative. We didnt have the turntables inside the
locker room and we couldnt bring our boom box in
there. Either we were banging on the locker, or
somebody was (making music) with their mouth. I

Aim: To determine the approximate value of l for

Diffraction of light is one explanation of the
wave theory of light. Francesco Grimaldi first
observed this type of behaviour from light.
However, Thomas Young was the scientist that was

be calculated. The original experiment involved
sending white light into a screen with two small
holes to serve as point sources. The light from
these sources was then pro...

Pack Of Cars Barren Wasteland Max

Only a few slow moving tumbleweeds occupied the
desert terrain. The endless plain of dust and hot
dry dirt seemed to have no occupants, it was as if
the ground hadn't been walked over for years.
Suddenly, the seemingly endless silence was broken
by a gradual fade into a chaotic rumbling. The
sound grew more ferocious and eventually became
unbearably loud. Just then in the distance behind
a cliff, a cloud of dust appeared and out of it
raced seven cars racing at insane speeds. It

of unexplained depression, impetuous spending and
generally odd, erratic behavior, prior to his
eventual nervous collapse. Some critics have
argued that Holden's character is erratic and
unreliable, as he has many of the middle-class
values that he claims to reject. Later on critics
began to have praised the twisted humor of the
main character. These critics have commented that
the structure of the novel helps you understand

Point Of View Catcher In The Rye

Through Holden's Eyes The Catcher in the Rye has
truly earned its place among great classic works.
J. D. Salinger created a literary piece that was
completely unique. The entire novel was written in
the first person view of the 17 -year-old, Holden
Caulfield. The majority of the story is compiled
of Holden's rudimentary monologue of complexly
simple thoughts, the rest utilizing his relay of
previous dialogue. That and the use of unique
punctuation, digressing explanations, and complex
characteri...

Heart Of Darkness Marlow Sees
1,675 words
It is interesting to note that the female
characters in Heart of Darkness seem to stand in a
category of their own. It is queer how out of
touch with women are. They live in a world of
their own says Marlow about his aunt. Considering
Heart of Darkness as a journey of self-discovery,
Marlow s assertion seems to deny women the right
or the need for the quest for truth. Conrad has
suggested an ironic ambiguity, a confusion of
light and dark about their nature, although the
women themselves are not...

Mark Overman on Creatine By. Mark D. Overman
Creatine is one of the primary things an athlete
will do to put supplements into their body. These
supplements range from protein shakes to illegal
anabolic steroids. Some sports supplements are
incredibly safe and effective, yet others work for
a while and then fizzle out, while others still
work well but do more damage than good in the long
run. In the past athletes had to turn to such
things as anabolic steroids or blood doping (the
