... kept alive only by the hand-spinners. That is, until Sally Fox found a forgotten bag of brown cotton seeds in 1982. Pursuing her lifetime dream and her love for the environment, Sally Fox began to investigate the possibilities of creating commercially viable long-fibered colored cotton. Realizing the potential importance of colored cotton as an alternative to using solvent-based dyes, she was determined to succeed in producing a marketable fashion raw material. The final result was Fox FiberŪ, a strong long-fibered colored cotton, which can be readily woven into beautiful cloth.

... in writing these Gospels. In scientific terms, this would explain the similarity in the sayings and teachings that appear throughout all the Gospels, both Biblical and Gnostic. Together, these two beliefs form a basis for a number of new theories about how the Gospels were written. All the Gospels were written after the Roman sack of Jerusalem in 70A.D. The first to be written was the Gospel of Mark around 75A.D. This work was intended for the Jewish audience of Judea, which had just gone through a bloody war with the Roman Empire. With that in mind, Mark focuses his story on the Death of Jesus as its underlying message. As L. Michael White states in his book, Imag ...

... days I wish it wasn't so hard to have two working parents. When my mom wasn't a career mom, I felt it was a lot easier on me and her. There was no talk like "Mom, when are you coming home?" or "Are we eating out again?" Being a two-career family is just what pays the bills. It is not an option; it's a must! Spending time with your children is usually minimal when two parents work in the same household. When both parents are working, that means both are equally tired and stressed when arriving home. So when are they spending time with their children? Quality time on weekends should be a time to catch up and find out what your children are learning and ...

... and, intentionally, or unintentionally, negotiate the meaning of any phenomenon (Pearson, 1991:9)." Men and women are taught, through childhood caregivers, to excel in different areas, with social awards to keep these goals desirable. Females are trained to demonstrate greater expressions of emotion, while males are taught to be solid and impassive. Male aggressiveness and competitiveness conflicts with the female desire to co-operate and avoid conflict (Credgeur, 1999:2). Social rules are reflected through language, demonstrating unequal power relations based on gender. Linguist Jennifer Coates cites two reasons for gender linked differences in communicati ...

... that it does not give enough range for the subject. They are restricted within the boundaries of the tick boxes. The researcher can only learn so much. The laboratory experiment gives the experimenter a greater chance to control the conditions and enables you to measure behaviour with greater precision. This method also allows for quantative research and also enables greater control of variables. Although it gives the experimenter greater control, this can also seem daunting to the subject who may feel more uncomfortable and is less likely to give an natural reaction or answer. This type of research also relies on strict controlled conditions so that the exper ...

... his scholarship to the state college for Negroes. However, he first has to fight in a battle royal. This scene is shocking and nightmarish, but serves to set the tone for the surreal delivery of his speech. After the battle royal his mouth is bleeding and his eye is swollen. He's having a hard time seeing the crowd. We can make symbolic connections to his impaired vision and how he does not see his circumstance very clearly, as well as the blood he must swallow to continue his speech. The white men ignore him and only occasionally ask him to repeat something he has said, until he stumbles over the words social "equality." The room becomes deadly quiet and, " ...

... Unlike dogs, cats do not bark or make loud noises. Most cats dont even meow very often. They are generally content to lead a quiet existence. Cats also don't often have "accidents." Mother cats train their kittens to use the litter box, and most cats will use it without fail from that time on. Even stray cats generally understand the concept when shown the box and will use it regularly. Cats do have claws, and owners must make provisions for this. A tall scratching post in a favorite cat area of the house will usually keep the cat content to leave the furniture alone. As a last resort, of course, cats can be declawed. Lastly, one of the most attractive features ...
