Filling Slot Bearings Single Row Bearing Balls
424 wordsThe object of ball bearings (and roller bearings) is the substitution of pure rolling motion for plain sliding friction. Ball Bearings rely on the rolling motion of hardened steel balls to absorb loads. This rolling motion produces far less friction than the sliding motion. These steel balls are held in circular rows between an outer and inner ring, which have raceways, or slots, grooved into them to guide the balls. Ball bearings are available in both filling-slot and no filling-slot types. Oth...

Put An End Lethal Injection

Death Row Inmates Inmates On Death Row
932 wordsDeath by execution has existed as a punishment since the dawn of time. Yet although this has existed seemingly forever, the question of its morality has also existed for that same amount of time. Killers kill innocent people, there is no question about that, but does that give us the right to kill these killers? I do not think so. Racism is often the driving force behind crime. Yet in a justice system that preaches equality, it too is led by racism. There is "a pattern of evidence indicating rac...

Rest Of The World Death Penalty
1,717 words... on death row (Cornell Law Review, 542). Death-penalty advocates often point out that no one has been proved innocent after execution. However, the DNA evidence that could establish such innocence has frequently been lost by prosecutors with no incentive to keep it. In Virginia case, a court actually prevented posthumous examination of DNA evidence. On the defense side, lawyers and investigators concentrated their scarce resources on cases where lives can be spared. And while DNA answers some...

5,511 wordsGeorge W. Bush came out of his national convention with a significant lead over Al Gore. One poll put the margin at 17 points. While this is reassuring to his supporters, it is a lead that could quickly evaporate. In 1988, Democrat Michael Dukakis held a 17 point lead over Republican George Bush and lost the election. One of the wild cards in this particular campaign is the performance of the national media, which has shown the ability to manipulate issues and events for the benefit of the Democ...
