... a family divorce. "It is projected that nearly half of all the babies born today will spend some time in a one-parent family which occurred as a result of single parenthood or divorce" (Shiono and Quinn 15). This fact indicates that the future of this world will be in the hands of the people who have lived through at least one divorce. That's why, there should be more emphasis given to divorce and more solutions should be presented for the well being of our children. Although the parents are not the only ones who should feel responsible of this social failure, the parents can accomplish the most efficient assistance.

... are sickly attached to biblical legends. Times do change, people do change, so why can't we accept the variation of a myth? Sci-fi, as a part of mythology, is a reflector of our comprehension and the fruits of self-exploration. As myths, sci-fi stories don't have to be specimens of refined literature. Its literary form is not the essence. As a famous psychologist Carl Gustav Jung has put in his works, a myth is like a mirror, reflecting the messages sent by our subconsciousness to our mind, projecting them through the cells of our mental network and translating them from the language of the archetypal symbols to the individual tongue of one's soul. So, treating scie ...

... masks, and overshoes. This is necessary because even one dust particle or water droplet can ruin a batch of chip production. The manufacturing of a silicon chip starts when silica, the main component of sand, is heated with carbon which makes 98 percent pure silicon. This is then dissolved in hydrochloric acid. The resulting liquid is fractionally distilled to separate almost all of the impurities.The remaining liquid is then heated in a hydrogen tmosphere, which produces the purest silicon possible. This silicon, however, is in the form of many crystals of different sizes and orientations. This silicon goes through the Czochralski pulled crystal process in ...
