... transparent eyeball come to mind as a person truly becomes one with nature during a sunset. The sumptuous sound of the tide rushing on the dark sandy beach is like listening to a live performance of a meditation tape. Relaxing in a beach chair, listening to the slow recession of the water regaining strength and becoming louder until the wave crashes again and the cool surf rushes against your warm, sun-burnt feet, can please even the worst of aquaphobias. Although the sea can intrigue and inspire people, it can also instill and command fear and respect. Hurricanes can produce chaotic winds, rain, and waves, each powerful enough to destroy creations, both man-ma ...

... how very easy it is for a male dog to 'find' a female in heat ( where there is a will, there is a way, and there IS a will!) or when a female will come into heat*. Then there are those who think that they can make a quick buck by breeding and selling puppies (or kittens). People assume that each offspring is worth X amount of dollars, and wow - multiply that by X number of offspring, and we'll be rich! This is rarely the case. Responsible breeders know that proper selection and veterinary care (pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy and birth, and neonatal care and vaccination) all incur cost. Sure, there are those that sell their kittens and puppies to the local p ...

... of conclusive evidence), do not take any part in this debate. They're much too busy watching Julia Child teach how one should choose the ingredients for Beef Wellington or enjoying the high humor and quick wit of some cartoon or comic opera. In "Watching TV", three citizens share their personal experience with television and conception of the medium and its role in their individual lives. The writers are not professional journalists or professional commentators. Instead, they are members of the general public who felt the need (in response to a segment in The Sun magazine) to share their view with others. The opinions expressed are written in a straightforward m ...

... Is that true? Not by a million years. AOL offers its users horrendous service. The company is so ov erloaded with customers -- and is so far behind at installing equipment -- that busy signals have become more common than an actual connection when dialing into AOL. In addition, if you do connect, you are condemned to use badly written AOL software to read and send email and to browse the Web. For a service that is still more expensive t han its competition, is the sacrifice worth it? Censorship on AOL The Internet is a place of free speech, where one can discuss any topic without fear of censorship or retalliation. This is not the case on AOL. Staff known as "G ...

... Unlike dogs, Ferrets do not bark or make other loud noises. They are generally content to lead a quiet existence. Ferrets also don't often have accidents. Even stray Ferrets generally understand the concept when shown the box and will use it regularly. Ferrets do have claws, and owners must make provision for this. A tall scratching post in a favorite Ferret area of the house will usually keep the Ferret content to leave the furniture alone. As a last resort, of course, Ferrets can be declawed. Lastly, one of the most attractive features of Ferrets as housepets is their ease of care. Ferrets do not have to be walked. They get plenty of exercise in the ho ...

( This is a very bad thing because the vegetation and fish are now no longer available) The blame immediately lands upon the Uma aya Biafra, or teenagers of Igbuno. There is no question, it is just assumed that teenagers were involved. (Unfortunately, Uche, a teenager from Igbuno, has committed this heinous crime). Also, when the people of Akpei find that someone is stealing from their huts, again without any evidence, they surmise that teenagers are to blame.

The change to the culture of the classroom environment with the introduction of technology is a serious matter to look at. Overall the introduction of technology in the classroom is a great benefit to students, giving them access to word processing applications, as well and access to the World Wide Wed and CD-ROM’s. This large amount of knowledge flowing from the computer to the brains of the students is very overwhelming. Students will have to learn how to sift though this l ...

... a clear mental image of the POW embed itself into my mind. After carefully re-reading the POW and its guidelines, I had a somewhat solid idea of how to approach it. I first made a custom 3x3 chess board, and included the chess pieces (two black and two white). I placed each in their appropriate sections and proceeded to attempt to solve the problem. I calculated it to take each piece a minimal of four moves to reach the other side of the board so I instantly knew I would require 16 boxes for my diagram. But rather then going through that process, I decided to take a much easier one, that being by simply drawing a 3x3 chess board with the chess pieces. Aft ...
