.... leading to high mountain passes. In old Tibetan and Bhutanese scrolls, manuscripts, and murals, there are drawings and descriptions of this elusive creature. Many people today believe is on the verge of becoming extinct because fewer sightings are being reported. There have been numerous expeditions to the Himalayan Mountains aimed at either capturing or photographing it. All attempts have failed but a great deal of fact and fiction about the legend did turn up. The main evidence of its existance is footprints, sightings, and scalps or hair. Sir Edmund Hillary believed the first footprints were found in the 1890's. Others sources give 1832 as th .....

.... being caught. He was walking a very thin line, and it is this trait that led him to his downfall. Many times, Bismarck used foreign policy to insure German security. It is especially clear, when we read that history on the three emperors and the dual alliance. Because Germany was in the center of Europe, it had powerful neighbors along its borders. Germany did not want to fight against Russia and France at the same time, and fights two battlefronts could lead to the destruction of Germany. France alone had no immediate threat, but if, by chance, it formed an alliance, Germany would be in grave danger. To prevent this, Bismarck sought out tw .....

.... than the degree of temperature. Temperature variations is harmful because it leads to the expansion and contraction of the wine in the bottle, hastening the ingress of oxygen - and thereby oxidation. Ullage is the air space present in a bottle of wine between the cork and the surface of the wine. In old wines it is fairly reliable indication of likely quality: the greater the ullage the more suspect the wine. Excessive ullage indicates a loose cork, widely or frequently fluctuating storage temperatures, or low humidity (Gold 31). Some ullage with age is inevitable, but anything more that 12 mm (1/2 inch) per decade is avoidable. Excessi .....

.... contemplation and intellectual activity. (Aristotle, Barnes p.2) Aristotle felt that to fully be a man, one must imitate the gods, or immortalize themselves. This will free one from the restrictions of mortal thought. According to Aristotle man possesses a natural want for knowledge. Immortalizing oneself aides the desire for knowledge and self-realization. Self-realization leads to happiness. We can find similar theories in modern day psychologists like Maslow. In his theory of hierarchy, Maslow places self-actualization as the last achievement before reaching true happiness. At heart, Aristotle was a teacher. He believed that knowledge and teach .....

.... are out of reach for today’s athletes. Are records made to be broken? Sports over the years have changed dramatically, and so have the players, but the records have always been there. The players in the 90’s have a different look than the players in the past. Today there are high- tech weight rooms, and players use nutritional supplements. So why haven’t they broke all these records? Is it because of the longer seasons or the changing of the rules. Maybe they just aren’t as good, or as talented. This applies to almost every record except, the homer record. In the 1998 season both Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire broke Roger Maris’s 37 .....

.... involved in creating a policy to help better people. The main policy the government should enforce is allowing for a proportionate tax to be placed on people. In the United States alone there are over 250 million people living in homes. The government should make it so every month each household must pay a dollar per person living in that residence. The money made from this should be given to the poor in forms of programs and financial aid. Another way the government can help better the people is to tax people according to how much money they earn. If a person makes over a certain level of income then the government should make it mandator .....

.... written rules, but all of them have their own sets of customs or conditions. Gangs may or may not be facilitated in a branch of higher and lower members, mimicking a military model. Gangs often have a loosely defined set of goals, and are often involved in delinquent activities. A socially approved form of a gang is a club. Americans generally view clubs as character building leadership opportunities; whereas, individuals typecast into gangs are persecuted as criminals. Clubs are formed with constructive goals in mind, such as making it easier for its members to find parts for a particular brand of automobile. Socioeconomic class, academic achiev .....

.... boxing is banned?". The BMA is an association that has been trying to outlaw boxing since 1982. It claimed that boxing is a morally wrong sport which has been designed to intentionally to cause damage in the boxers' brains. However, its pleas have largely fallen on deaf ears and were also criticized by many. The only country, which called for boxing to be banned so far, is Iceland. Another reason to support why boxing should be outlawed is the negative influence it has over the younger generation. According to an article from 'American Sociological Review', in a study attempting to discover whether mass media violence triggers additional aggressive b .....

.... called the Fugs. These two men played a very important role in the foundation of punk music. They often performed in a bar called Dom which could be found in the basement of a night club called The Electric Circus. They tried to get their music played in other clubs but it was usually rejected due to the controversial and offensive subject matter that they used in their music. The Fugs refused to change their style because their originality was really all they had going for them. The band did however manage to influence other bands to go punk.2 More and more bands in New York started to follow this new trend of underground music. The styles of these .....
