The novel is one of the best ways to put across ideas. However it requires a lot of input and you yourself will have to be pretty good at creative writing if you want to perform this type of writing. One example would be Ayn Rand or Dostoyevsky’s ‘The brothers Karamazov’ or ‘Crime and Punishment’. After writing a basic philosophical statement add some more “big” words to replace more common ones (i....
The Venezuelan-flagged Nabarima vessel has been sat idle off the Venezuelan coast since January 2019. Pictures recently emerged showing the FSO vessel floating at an incline, raising fears that it could spill its load into the gulf devastating the regional fishing industry and delicate ecosystems. The Nabarima is operated by the Petrosucre company, a joint venture between the Venezuelan state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) and the Italian Eni oil giant....
According to the senior citizen, she was getting ready for bed at around 11 p.m. Thursday when she heard loud pounding at her door. The man said he was sick and asked Murphy to call an ambulance. Murphy called police but refused to let the stranger into her house. He continued to hammer on the door and eventually broke it down. Murphy heard the commotion and hid in the dark while the intruder entered her house....
And a handful of our four-legged friends, ones boasting particularly thick coats and bulky builds, even appear almost bear-like. Gina DiNardo, Executive Secretary of the American Kennel Club (AKC), notes the attraction of canines exhibiting the cuteness of bear cubs, minus the danger of welcoming such powerful wild animals into their den. She told Newsweek: “Dogs with rounder faces and shorter tails might give you teddy bear vibes—but some dogs may even remind you of an actual bear in either their size, coat, or expression....
Atlantic 10 commissioner Bernadette McGlade circulated a statement on Sunday evening condemning the NCAA’s selection committee’s decision not to offer the Bonnies an at-large bid. MORE: Snubbing mid-majors sends a dangerous message All of the metrics by which the Bonnies should have been judged fell well within the range of other teams who did receive NCAA Tournament bids. Syracuse, for example, managed to make the field at large with an RPI of 72 — the worst RPI of any at-large team in the history of the metric....
As the line all but vanishes between work and personal life, it’s easy to forget that the PC you use at work doesn’t belong to you. You give out your work e-mail address to friends and relatives like no one can take it away. You store all your important contacts and accumulated expertise on your hard drive as if they will always be there. You even do your taxes on the laptop you take home....
Consider the ease of CompuServe Inc. Last week the worldwide online service suspended access to more than 200 sexually explicit discussion groups on the Internet, that fast-growing global computer web. Reason: a prosecutor in Munich charged they violated German pornography laws. That everyone else in the world was cut off, along with the Germans, sparked a huge outcry, more out of principle than prurience. “It’s the beginning of a very bad dream,” said Lori Fena, executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a computer civil-rights group in San Francisco....
Who delivers a funnier Top Ten list? Last night, the former First Lady appeared on the David Letterman Show via satellite to rattle off her “Top Ten Reasons Hillary Clinton Loves America.” Watch it and weep: [youtube:vyzeqihfmhY] Incidentally, Clinton’s appearance came a little more than three months after her rival gave Letterman his “Top Ten Barack Obama Campaign Promises.” Get it while it’s hot: [youtube:rOWlpvOPKXc] Who’s funnier? We’ll let the Tar Heels and Hoosiers decide....
With many groups now clamoring for Rocker’s head, Major League Baseball last week took the extraordinary step of ordering Atlanta’s bullpen ace to have his head examined. Commissioner Bud Selig said he would withhold any disciplinary action until Rocker undergoes a psychological evaluation. The Braves applauded the move. Atlanta president Stan Kasten said Rocker has never evidenced these attitudes in his behavior and has apologized and is truly remorseful. “Under those circumstances,” he said, “I am not going to abandon a player or an employee or a friend....
Something is wrong, if not rotten, in the state of New York, the state of California and every state in between. While searching endlessly for just the right diet, we’re consuming ever more calories, growing ever more obese and suffering obscene rates of diabetes, hypertension and heart disease as a result. No one outside the weight-loss industry is happy about the situation, but as the crisis worsens we seem to grow ever more confused about how we got here–and ever more polarized about how to set things right....
A Sprint spokesman says the payoff is justified by the big profits all Sprint holders have made–$100 invested in Sprint five years ago is worth $580, he says, compared with $300 for the S&P 500 and $200 for AT&T. And, he says, Esrey spent 15 years as chief executive building Sprint: “It’s not as if he fell from the sky, spent a year here and then sold the company.”...
Promoted to captain of a fast-attack submarine, Commander Waddle went on to become a great cheerleader for America’s undersea fleet. But his performance as a sub skipper has been under attack since his ship, the USS Greeneville, sank a Japanese fishing vessel off Pearl Harbor on Feb. 9, killing five adults and four teenagers. Waddle has shown a worthy sense of responsibility, tearfully apologizing to family members of the lost Japanese fishermen....
Customers like Kessner have left Honda with a bad case of Prius envy. In the low-octane race for the environmental high ground, Honda is running a distant second to Toyota—despite the fact that Honda was first to sell a hybrid in America and remains a darling of the green movement. But to the average car buyer, Honda’s hybrids are all but invisible. With 110,565 sold so far this year, the Toyota Prius is outselling Honda’s entire lineup of gas-electric Civics and Accords by five to one....
Musicians throughout history, consequently, have looked to the best in every genre for inspiration. No true musician can claim to embrace the music of someone without accepting as equal the human being from which it came. It is impossible to regard the influence of someone else’s creativity as great while judging the person who created it as somehow inferior. As students of music, we have all learned of countless situations where this rang true, even in earlier, more challenging times....
Michael is donating profits from the single to various AIDS charities. And the video is supposed to carry a message about safe sex. But just in case viewers don’t get it, hunky male models flex tattoos that plainly read: WE MUST PROTECT OURSELVES. Hey, George, whatever happened to “I Want Your Sex”? The message is the massage: Michael with Zadrick, Evangelista, Nadja, Beverly, Peele, Estelle, Lefebure and Tyra
Not that East Timor doesn’t have a lot to be happy about as the one-year anniversary of its independence approaches later this month. War and starvation are slowly becoming distant memories, nation-building has begun in earnest and the East Timorese–not their Portuguese, Japanese or Indonesian colonizers–are finally calling the shots. Just last month East Timor and Australia inked the final terms of their joint treaty, with 90 percent of the oil revenues headed to the tiny nation....
By February of this year, Gibb had suspected the singer might be her mother and got in touch with Mitchell’s agent. Since their reunion, mother and daughter (a former model who is now a computer student) have spent several joyful weeks together. “There’s a definite umbilical cord that was never cut,” Gibb told the Los Angeles Times. Mitchell found more family than she expected: a 4-year-old grandson, Marlin (Gibb is separated from his father)....
Once a top prospect in the Republican Party, Symington is on the verge of losing it all. First, the onetime land developer went broke. Then the Feds indicted him on 23 counts of fraud and extortion, charging that he lied to get loans for his construction projects. In two weeks Symington will go on trial in the federal courthouse a few blocks from his capitol office. But in case anyone thought this might be the end of Fife Symington, the intensely proud governor says that if he doesn’t go to jail, he’ll run for a third term next year....
