The Function Of Female Orgasm
2,011 words
This is something I wrote while I was at college
about a year ago and it details some new research
that has been published about the possible purpose
of the female orgasm, which I think is pretty
interesting... It's pretty dry and academic in
tone and contains some fairly specialist language,
but most of it should be pretty clear to most
people. If anyone has a question or wants some
more information on this kind of thing, mail me:
Does the female orgasm have a function and, if so,
what is it? T...

Fiber Optic Cable Peer To Peer
902 words
What is a computer network? In simple terms, a
computer network is a group of connected computers
that allow the sharing of information and
equipment. The most ordinary network is made up of
two computers connected by some kind of cable in
order to exchange information more quickly and
efficiently. A standalone computer is very useful
to many businesses, but without a network, those
businesses would have to spend twice the amount of
money then they would have to by having a network.
A network al...

What is home? Home can be defined in a variety of
ways. Having a feeling of completeness is a main
component that allows one to find such a special
place. Home can be anywhere. Not only feeling
complete, but also being able to express one self
freely and having a feeling of belonging is
usually where home is. The special place called
home is a theme that is seen clearly in the two
short stories A Pair of Tickets and The Gentle
Wholeness of Home. Ironically my definition of
home is similar to tho...

Kaelin listed as a hostile witness, she didn't
succeed, but she was permitted to "harshly
interrogate" him (Toobin). On April 14, the
question of Kaelin's truthfulness came into
question. He was accused of lying on the witness

Skaters Compete Nationally Figure Skating Championships United
839 words
Skating traces its origins practically back to the
origins of human beings. To cross frozen lakes and
streams, early humans tied animal bones to their
feet and glided through the winter months.
Eventually, iron and steel blades replaced the
bones and a rough means of travel was transformed
into recreation. Skating remained popular among
all social classes, but as a competitive sport,
only the extremely well to do could afford to
participate. Figure skating as we know it today
traces its origins ...

Leopold And Loeb Acts Of Violence
1,229 words
Social reaction to school massacres and
inexplicable acts of violence among the teenage
population in the late twentieth century flooded
television news programs and media broadcasting
almost on a monthly basis. Many Americans
questioned why such seemingly healthy and
established children would want to harm themselves
and others around them. Several psychological and
moral issues arise from this question. Despite
legal efforts to differentiate between adult and
adolescent crimes, many argue that...

A Youth in Poverty To most, it's very easy to
imagine how it would feel to grow up without much
of anything in life. Hell... I can tell you first
hand what it feels like to not have a decent pair
of shoes or pants without holes in them, or old
"hand-me-down" toys while most of the kids you
know have "state-of-the-art" toys. To many
children in this kind of situation, it seems like
a very bleak world to live in. No child should
ever have to experience this kind of life.
However, due to ignorant p...

Kate Chopin Silk Stockings

In his Essay "The Art of Fiction" Henry James
speaks through his character Walter Bessant about
twelve points dealing with how fiction is an art.
Three of these points which I found to be
important were how fiction can be portrayed as a
form of art but he explains also that fiction has
no set form in which a book can be written. He
views fiction as being more artistic than
paintings and he also believes that fiction is not
to be judged by morality like a painting might be.
Henry James states "A ...

words can have totally different meanings. If
translating a single word already causes problems,
what about whole sentences or even entire texts?
To translate from one language into to another,

Baby Boomers Younger Generation

When the name Levi Strauss and Company is said,
one of the most popular brands of jeans comes to
mind. Even if you have never owned a pair of Levi
s, the name triggers an image, such as 501 Blues
for our generation, and maybe James Dean for our
parents. According to the video we watched in
class, Levi s was not at the top of any denim
tests, however they sell for the most. This is due
to their marketing strategies. Over past decades
Levi s has changed it s image to fit with the
current style. In...

Seven Deadly Sins Paradise Lost

Love and Lust In Paradise Lost In Milton's
Paradise Lost, sexuality is an innate part of
human nature. Milton celebrates Adam and Eves
prelapsarian connubial love (PL, IV, 743), singing
Hail wedded Love (PL, IV, 750). In its proper
place in the hierarchy (below God), sex in
Milton's view is sacred and spiritual, sanctioned
by God. Sacred sex is portrayed almost as an
intellectual act rather than a physical act, as a
union of souls rather than a union of bodies. In
contrast, however, lascivious s...

Left Hand Classical Music

The music of India is a mosaic of different genres

classical music is performed in the urban concert
halls for purely artistic reasons, and at the

Sickle Cell Anemia Red Blood Cells

Protein Synthesis The Expression of a Gene The
process of Protein Synthesis involves many parts
of the cell. Unlike other similar productions,
this process is very complex and precise and
therefore must be done in proper sequence to work
effectively. The slightest error during this
process could cause the action to experience
difficulty or even fail. For example, in the
production of starch, glucose molecules are
combined to be stored and eventually utilized as
usable chemical energy. The cell c...

Soyinka would have us examine every clash and
conflict, save for the one involving culture.
Certainly this may seem the most obvious part of
the play, but we would do the general
understanding of Death a disservice if we ignored
one of the central conflicts in the play. Every
element of the play is placed in terms of two
extremes, and the cultures must be considered one
of those pairs. Suicide is no exception to this

Ski Resorts Younger Generation

One snowy Christmas day in Muskegon, Michigan, a

stand up on her sled while sliding down the hill.
Seeing this, her father Sherman ran into the
garage and bolted a pair of skies together with
wood to act as foot stops (Crane). While watching
Wendy use the contraption, some of the local kids
ran up to Sherman and asked him to build one for
each of them. Little did he know that he had given
birth to the fastest growing winter sport (Prosl)
