... and reliable. However, there is much less rainfall towards the outer edges of the rain belt. Periodic and unpredictable droughts are a characteristic feature of these border zones. There are three climatic zones in Tropical Africa: 1. a region of persistent rain at and near the Equator, 2. a region on each side of this of summer rain and winter drought, and 3. a region at the northern and southern edges afflicted by drought. All the climates listed in the previous paragraph are modified in the eastern parts of Tropical Africa by the mountains and monsoons. The soils of Tropical Africa pose another problem. They are unlike the soils of tem ...

... & Gamble. A crisis confronted Johnson & Johnson in the fall of 1982, when seven Chicago area residents died after taking Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules contaminated with cyanide. Not only was $400-million-per-year Tylenol the best-selling U.S. drug, but it was a product that symbolized the Johnson & Johnson reputation for quality, gentleness, and fine health care (Kreitner, 1990). Despite the pressures of dealing with national media coverage, J&J executive immediately opened their doors to the press and took great pains to keep the public informed about the situation. It soon became apparent that the cyanide had been put into the capsules after they had lef ...

... Layer-III, better known as MP3. To those “outside” the complicated world of the Internet and technology, MP3 probably will not ring any bells. But anyone who has accessed the Internet or skimmed through any popular magazines lately will likely recognize MP3 and the propaganda surrounding it. I do not want to bombard you with numerous technological terms, but a brief explanation is necessary in order to understand arguments surrounding the issue. MP3 is a new way to save, copy, and play audio files on a computer. The audio files are near CD-quality and take up very little space on a computer’s hard drive. Previously, high-quality audio files w ...

... complete with only information¡¦s transmittal and without the freedom of thinking. In our society, people who are well educated are those who graduated from a good school with good grades. In my own opinion, a person who has the ability to get good grades from a good school does not equal to a well-educated person. A person who gets good grade has the ability to receive information and fill out the same information on exams as answers, which just accomplished the information¡¦s transmittal. Therefore, a student who gets good grades only indicates that student had done well in one part of education, which is the transmitter of information. A person can¡¦t be a well- ...

Located in the Northern half of Nigeria are the Hausa with the core 30% actually more toward the Northwesternly quarter. Traditionally and historically, the Hausa are moslim and live under Sharia or Islamic Law. Hausaland can be split up into Islamic Emirates that originally comprised a series of centralized governements and their surrounding towns and villages. The Emirs were the spirirtual and political leaders of the Hausa and held a perfect monarchy with no permanent body of advisors. Because they were seen as an assistant to God, their po ...

... knights started to decline (it was still used frequently by foot soldiers). This is where the typical "knight in shining armor" comes in. The new crossbows and sharper blades introduced a need for a stronger piece of armor that was a single plate. Huge suits of plate armor were developed and used to fend off any attacks. They could withstand sword blows and even arrows. The average suit of armor consisted of around 20 pieces, weighed about 50 pounds, and cost as much as a small farm. Because of the huge cost many knights would scavenge for armor on the battlefield. As weapons, such as crossbows and guns, were improved armor slowly became very ineffective. Bullet ...

... Apartments usually are one to two bedrooms, a living room, one to two bathrooms, and a kitchen. It's nice for a small family, or a group of two or three friends if just moving out, and starting to college. Depending on where it's located you can find a nice apartment for a fair price. Some even come with furniture in the homes, so you would not even need to buy any. Most of the apartments have the accommodation of a nearby pool, and a washer and dryer room. Other larger apartments can even have a additional playground for younger children, basketball courts, tennis courts, and even a gym. By living in an apartment you can take the advantages of these benefits. ...

... 1887 baseball cards were part of a unique set. Not only did this set contain baseball cards, but it also contained boxing. golf, and horse racing cards. These cards are very high in value because of their rarity and because they are some of the early baseball cards. The common card is worth around $800. All of these cards are common, considering that there were no star athletes back then. There were not many cards sizes during this time period. The only size that I could find was one and a half inches by two inches. There were many company's that manufactured cards during this time period. They were: Mayo Tobacco Works, ...

... records the way a business has grown and, after analyzing figures, suggests the way it should go in the future. Furtunes are gambled on the advice of accountants. If your friend has ever operated a business and you saw him placing figures in ledgers, then you saw him doing bookkeeping. If you have worked at a service station or supermarket and have seen books with large sheets lined in green and red lying on the manager’s table or desk, you saw books of accounting. Accounting is one of the fastest growing fields in the United States It expands each time a new store, a factory, a filling station, or a school goes up, whether in a large city or a small town.

... of them were exhiled and their works were all but completely annihilated. Now, very little is left of the sophists, except for what other prominent theorists have said about them. At the head of this condescending army was Plato, whose own theories opposed those of the sophists in numerable . Anyone who has read some of Plato’s writing can tell you that what he had to say about Protagoras, Gorgias, Prodicus and the other sophists was by no means benevolent, and according to G.B. Kerferd, nor was it a completely factual description of them. Unfortunately, since these innacurate depictions are all we have left, the generations that were to come accepted Plato& ...
