.... during the mid and late 80s. For example, the cultivation, processing, and export of agricultural products, especially rice, was traditionally the mainstay of the Thai economy. Although Thailand has long been among the most prosperous of the Asian nations, its dependence on a single crop made it extremely vulnerable to fluctuations in the world price of rice and to variations in the harvest. The government has diminished this vulnerability by instituting a number of development programs aimed at diversifying the economy and by promoting scientific methods of farming, particularly controlled flooding of .....

.... groups in Russia wished Rasputin dead, because they could not logically interpret his actions and could not rationalize his power. He was seen at this time as a sort of "Devil's Advocate", because no one believed that a Holy Man could posses such powers. His methodology was not that of the time period he lived in, and just as it is today, people fear what they cannot understand in rational means. Though Rasputin was a savior for many, he was looked upon by the majority of Russian peoples as a fraudulent evil doer. No matter what the general consensus was, Rasputin extended the lives of many where they would have surely died wi .....

.... brothers experimented with mechanical things Wilbur would come up with the ideas and Orville would analyse and implement them." (McMahon 23). The two brothers opened a shop in 1896 to build and repair bicycles. The same year, Otto Lilienthal was killed when his glider crashed and the Wrights began to search the problems of human flight. After reading all the information they could find in Dayton, Wilbur wrote to the Smithsonian Instituion to ask for all the information it had on aeronautics. The brothers showed pure dedication. They read books, works by Lilienthal's The Problem of flying, Practical Experiments in Soaring, .....

.... has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henry Lucas, who had been the Member of Parliament for the University. It was first held by Isaac Barrow, and then in 1663 by Isaac Newton. Stephen Hawking is perhaps best known for his discovery, in 1974, that black holes emit radiation, and for his no boundary proposal made in 1983 with Jim Hartle of Santa Barbara. His many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with G F R Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 Years of Gravity, with W .....

.... situation where Germany was ignored was the taking away of their colonies. Germany had no choice and nor did the colonies. They were unable to vote whether they wanted to remain under the rule of Germany or not. Germany was ignored in many other situations, the reason for this was because they were considered as a defeated country and were not given any rights. The countries that were given self-determination were too small to be liable. These countries such as Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania did not remain under self-rule for long as the neighbouring country Russia was too strong and powerful. When redrawing the new boundaries .....

.... only other surviving children of Maria’s six births besides Ludwig(Burke 32). Ludwig began taking music lessons from his father at a very young age. By the age of five he was playing both the clavier and the violin(Solomon 16). Beethoven had few friends and spent little time playing with other children, although he did play with his brothers from time to time(Burke 33). Young Beethoven was extremely withdrawn from the world around him. “Outside of music he understood nothing of a social life.”(Solomon 20). Besides being uninterested in friends, young Ludwig was a poor student. His grasp of spelling and arithmetic was .....

.... malt, with soluble starches and developed enzymes. These grains each have a different and distinct flavor depending on how long they are cooked in the kiln. (Porter) After the malting, the grain is ready for milling. Milling is the cracking, and crushing of the grain. This procedure is controlled carefully so as to break the grain while keeping the husk as large and as intact as possible. Milling allows the grain to absorb the water it will be mixed with later as the water will extract sugars from the malt. The malt will now be mixed with warm water in the mash tun. This vessel holds the grain and water mixture for a period of tim .....

.... the greatest causes of . Although there are many other reasons, he was definitely one of them. Another reason was the Treaty of Versailles. This was the treaty that was signed at the end of World War 1. This treaty outlined the rules that Germany must follow because of their defeat by Britain and France. Many Germans were angered by the treaty, for most of the rules in the treaty were unfair and Germany lost a great amount of wealth. One of the cruelest reasons for the war was Hitler's racist hate for Jews. He would send them off in cattle cars to places called concentration camps were they would be slaughtered by the thousan .....

.... measure of devotion– that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain– that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom– and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth." Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863. It seems only appropriate to begin a report devoted to the Battle of Gettysburg by looking at something delivered after it ended. Contrary to his belief, Abraham Lincoln's brief, yet overwhelmingly powerful speech, is still looked upon by Americans as an enduring symbol of the Civil War and a testament to the ideals of the United .....

.... no longer be taxed, but the government faced bankruptcy unless new revenues were found. The only soulution was to tax the privileged classes. But they were jealoous of their privileged posistion. Altought they were not completely unwilling to contribute some additional taxes, they never understood how grave the economis crisis was. They say the crises as only some form of financial corruption that could be explained away by firing the king's finace ministers. The libiral ideas of the French Enlightenment had been absorbed by some of the clergy and the nobility but only by a very few. The upper classes in France in 1789 were .....
