.... brick arch, formed of many segments held in place by lateral thrust, was developed to connect a greater distance between two supports than a single horizontal beam, or lintel, could bridge. Since the 19th century, arches have also been made of single, curved spans of iron, steel, or reinforced concrete. The masonry arch has many elements. Its supports may be walls, piers, or columns, and the capstones from which it springs are known as imposts. The upper part of the arch is the crown, the portions near the impost are the haunches, its wedge-shaped segments are voussoirs, and the central or crowning voussoir is the keystone. The inner edge of the arch is the i .....

.... Mountains of Northern Idaho. The survival of the grizzly bear depends on several factors such as: amount of food they need and amount of space they need to live. Grizzly bears have tremendous food requirements in order to survive--adult females average 300 pounds, and males around 450 pounds, stated Stevens. Furthermore, grizzly bears are opportunistic feeders thriving on roots, berries, pine nuts, insects, herbaceous vegetation, fish, small mammals, and occasionally wild ungulates and their young. With grizzly bears wide variety of provisions, they need a large area to sustain themselves. Stevens stated, a male grizzly bear will use up to a 500 square .....

.... as slaves giving them diminutive wages for their work. The lifeboat ethics concept is the best way to describe these heartless firms. The concept of Lifeboat Ethics is fairly lucid. It is based upon choosing who lives, and who departs. Environmentalists argue that no single being or institution has the right to extinguish, waste, or use more than a fair share of its resources (Psychology Today, 54). Obviously, this is not happening. The philosophy of Lifeboat Ethics sees each wealthy nation as a lifeboat full of rich people. In the ocean outside the lifeboat are the less fortunate citizens of the world swimming around the lifeboat wanting to get in, or at .....

.... Often heroes, such as Hercules of Greek origin, proved themselves by defeating their enemies with almost super natural strength. Hercules, only eight or ten months old, strangled the two serpents sent by Hera to destroy him. Sometimes more than one enemy would try to slay the hero, as in the story of Krishna of Indian origin. When Krishna was a newborn baby a demoness (rakshasi), who took the form of a woman and carried poison in her breasts, came to assassinate him. She sat to nurse him and when he drew the milk from her he also drew out her life. A third mythological hero that supports the characteristic of strength is in the story of Theseus of Greek or .....

.... state, in the first palace, so long as it is in the hands of the exploiting classes: This means revolution. Next, when the working class has taken power, the force of the state is directed against the exploiters and used to destroy every trace of exploitation: this stage is the dictatorship of the proletariat." In a society such as ours, in which the rich are too few and the poor too many, the Marxist-Jacobinist approach has a ringing appeal. With the term proletariat, one simply substitutes the poor. By "expropriating the expropriators," or eradicating the rich, equality is achieved with one bold stroke. The trouble with this formulation, however, is that .....

.... to take comfort in anyone who vaguely looks like her. His friends try to comfort him, but it is in vain. In the last scene, Celina comes back form Heaven for one more Tango dance. He dies to and together they continue to heaven where the Tango will never end. When I bought the tickets to go see this show, I honestly didn't have a clue to what it was really about except the Tango. I simply thought it would be an exhibition of dancers. I wasn't prepared for the extent of the story, the wordlessness of the show, and the beauty of the dance. I sat on my seat the entire two hours of the show. The choreographing was wonderful. I've seen several ballets o .....

.... Paraguay, Bolivia, and Peru to the east; Bogota to the southeast; Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana to the south; and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. PLACE OF BRAZIL The landscape of Brazil is covered with plains, plateaus, and tropical grasslands. The plains has a fertile ribbon of lowlands, about ten through thirty miles wide which are along the country's coastline. Behind the plains sits a huge interior plateau that runs steeply near the lowlands in front of it. This drop forms an escarpment, steep cliff that separates two level areas. In Brazil there is much poverty. People make a living there by subsistence farming. Even though they do .....

.... LiPari first bought the land in 1958 to excavate a sand and gravel business. Soon after excavation began trenches appeared. LiPari allowed local municipalities and Burroughs to dump household solid waste, liquid and semi-solid chemical wastes, and other industrial materials. Records were not kept, but it is estimated that roughly three million gallons of liquid wastes and 12,000 cubic yards of solid waste were deposited on the site. Dumping continued for a fourteen year period, beginning in 1958 and continuing through 1971. Out of over 700 ranked sites, LiPari is listed number one (1) on the National Priority List (NPL), a list created to rank all landfills an .....
