curious in his early life because he liked to take
things apart and ask many questions. He designed
and manufactured many cars, including the Model T
which was the second largest selling car totaling
over 15, 000, 000. In addition to doing this, he
managed an enormous company with the help of very
few people. Henry had a few dreams that he thought
would change the world. For example, he saw that

... needed. When Henry Ford came out with this
idea of using mass-production, he had many quotes
like; "Good work is hard unless you have good

standard. Are they indifferent?" Or, "Old
production methods say that machines must aid man.

Four Cylinder Second Generation
421 words
During the second generation, there was a huge
sales drop. The Mustang II was not well received.
They replaced the big block V- 8 350 ci engine
with a 289 ci four cylinder engine. Ford's idea
with the Mustang II was to give people a smaller,
lighter, and a more fuel-efficient car. Ford,
obviously, made a big mistake. Mustang sales
dropped by 76 %. Ford's reputation took a huge
beating. Another mistake Ford made was dropping
the convertible models from their production line.

Rape Myths Rape Cases

When I started college, husband was very concerned
about my security on campus. He warned me not to
walk alone at night, not to talk to anyone I
didn't recognize, and to be very aware of my
surroundings. This is good advice for anyone. Many
women are afraid of the person in the shadows
awaiting their unsuspecting victim. In most campus
rape cases, a stranger is not involved. I was
surprised to find out that 75 % of all rape cases
are committed by an acquaintance of the victim. By
acquaintance, I...

What is A Robot WHAT IS A ROBOT The term robot
comes from the Czechoslovakian woodford "forced
labor, " invented by Karel Capek. Karel Capek used
robots in his plays and had them look and behave
like people. Today, the word "robot" is harder to
define because of new designs and technology. The
third edition of Websters's New International
Dictionary defines a robot as "a machine in the
form of a human being that performs the mechanical
functions of a human being. " However, today's

Red Green Weather Conditions

The system I choose to research is a simple
open-looped system called the Vehicle Frost Box.
This system is used to informing motor vehicle
operators that likely conditions for icy roads are

injury. For system development, the Problem

Bad Weather Horse Power

... hey needed to design a propeller that would
supply the thrust. No big deal, right? Wrong! No
one had designed a propeller for flight through
air. All that there was to go on was marine
propellers. The Brothers did not have the time or
money to test many designs. They decided to scrap
the theory used for marine propellers, and make up
their own. After long discussions they realized
that the only way to test the propeller is to try
it on the plane. The decided two things about the
propeller: f...

Cerebral Cortex Muscle Tone

Regardless of the etiologic factor or type of
seizure, the basic mechanism is the same. The
electric discharges (1) may arise form central
areas in the brain that affect consciousness
immediately; (2) may be restricted to one area of
the cerebral cortex, producing manifestations
characteristic of that particular anatomic focus;
or (3) may begin in a localized area of the cortex
and spread to other portions of the brain, which
if sufficiently extensive, produce generalized
neurologic manifestatio...

Terminally Ill Commit Suicide

Should we allow Euthanasia in cases where people
who are terminally ill request the right to die?
People should have the right to control and chose
whether they die or not. However I think they
should be in a mentally fit state to do so. If
they only have a couple of months to live and can
feel the pain if they arent injected day after
day, then I think they should be given the chance
to make decisions for themselves. It is after all
their life, it belongs to them and the only judge

I dont use drugs, my dreams are frightening

instructions from the spiritual world or just
deep, hidden wishes that can be used to unlock the
secrets of the unconscious mind? Nobody knows for
sure. One theory that is prevalent today is that
dreams result from the physiological exercise of
the synapses of the brain. There is no proven fact
on why we dream, which is why there are so many
