.... in 1895, where he carried out postgraduate research under J.J. Thomson. Rutherford abandoned work on his radio wave detector and carried out experiments on the conductivity of gas ionised by X-ray radiation. In 1897 He started to carry out research involving the conductivity of gases ionised by radiation, and by doing so became very aquainted with experimental methods involved in carrying out work with radioactivity. At the age of 28 Rutherford took up the position of professor at the University of McGill in Montreal, Canada, carrying out research into radioactivity. The some of the most important work was in the identification of the alpha, beta and gamma .....

.... and social convictions. I spoke with his spouse at length about Freund’s career and his life as a political and human rights activist. We also discussed how his beliefs ultimately resulted in his being “Black Balled” by the American art community. During the 40’s and 50’s his stance against U.S. polices and social conditions were not popular ones. Subsequently, Burton was considered by many in the art community to be a communist sympathizer. As a result, several of his most moving and intense pieces did not receive the exposure or notoriety that they deserved. For instance, “Lynch No More” is the wood carving of a Negro man with an executioner's noose arou .....

.... In the early years of his rule, projects such as repairs, trading deals, and expansion were the corriculum. But as he aged, so did his wisdom. He began to have more specific laws than most. Eventually, he had his 282 laws etched on stone in Cuneiform. These would be the governing laws of all his people. People then knew all the punishments and consequences for breaking the laws, and they knew what they must due when accusing a criminal. (We know what we must do on Saturday to Woodstock, don’t we?) Hammurabi created a set of moral codes that was to be copied and used by other civilizations. The Codes of Law were broken into certain categories. These catego .....

.... all comics. It was also one of the first comics ever to have more than a few characters. In fact in Shultz’s strip there were about twelve actual reoccurring characters, of which I am about to share with you along with a brief description of each. First off, of course, is Charlie Brown. He wins your heart with his losing ways. It always rains on his parade, his baseball game, and his life. He’s an stong willed boy who is afraid of arguments. Although he is concerned with the true meaning of life, his friends sometimes call him "blockhead." Other than his knack for putting himself down, there are few sharp edges of wit in that head of his; .....

.... said in his tribute, “Gandhi demonstrated that a powerful human following can be assembled not only through the cunning game of the usual political maneuvers and trickery but through the cogent example of a morally superior conduct of life”. Other tributes compared Gandhi to Socrates, to Buddha, to Jesus, and to Saint Fancis of Assisi. The life of Mahatma (great soul) Gandhi is very documented. Certainly it was an extraordinary life, poking at the ancient Hindu religion and culture and modern revolutionary ideas about politics and society, an unusual combination of perceptions and values. Gandhi’s life was filled with contradictions. He was described as .....

.... Creative Writing at the University of Texas in Houston, and of course author of short stories and novels (Anderson et al, 919). He is the author of a number of collections of short stories including "Come Back, Dr. Caligari" (1964); "Unspeakable Practices, Unnatural Acts" (1968); " City Life" (1971); "Sadness" (1972); "Great Days" (1978); "Overnight to Many Distant Cities" (1983); and "Paradise" (1986). He also wrote Snow White, a parody of the popular children’s fairy tale, the novel. He won the National Book Award for Children’s literature for the book titled "The Slightly Irregul .....

.... only one source of his ideas about psychology. He came up with many of his major insights and hypotheses from another and very different source: introspection, of a kind quite unlike that practiced by Wundt and his students. In James's opinion, any effort to seize and isolate individual elements of a thought process by means of Wundtian introspection would fail. But he felt that a naturalistic kind of introspection, to observe our own thoughts and feelings as they actually seem to us, could tell us alot about our mental life. This was for him, the most important of the investigative methods. Introspection required both concentration and practice, because inner .....

.... every thought of "common sense" called for the colonies to become independent and to establish a republican government of their own. The story criticized Great Britain for its corruption toward the colonies as a whole. Argument Thomas Paine’s "Common Sense" played a large part in the separation from England. Paine thought the colonies had the right to revolt against a government that imposed taxes on them but didn’t give them the right to represent them in the current government. Thomas believed there was no reason for the Colonies to stay dependent on England. He had an awesome way of persuading people to take action through his .....
