.... 1947. The immediate objective of the policy was to send U.S. aid to anti-Communist forces in Greece and Turkey, but it was later expanded to justify support for any nation that the United States government believed was threatened by Communism during the Cold War period.2 Moves and Countermoves U.S. officials, concerned over Soviet pressures against Iran and Turkey, interpreted a 1946 speech by Stalin as declaring ideological war against the West.

.... and even the better known resource industries are all dependent, in some way, on the mining industry. The mining industry will continue to be an important support to the economy. Mining is taking full advantage of the quick expansion of computers and microelectronics. These technologies are found in nearly every aspect of mineral development activity - from exploration methods, through production, mineral processing and even marketing. Computers and related equipment now have a lot of different applications in geophysical logging, geochemistry, geological mapping and surface contouring5. At the mine planning stage, the job of des .....

.... “So every day I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it…” (pg. 728). This quote speaks of the shroud she told the suitors that she must weave for her husband before she could choose one of them to marry. This shows loyalty to her husband, because even though she knew she might be caught by one of the suitors, she would still try and stall for time, as long as she could. Odysseus' crew showed loyalty to Odysseus, and great fortitude. “ The lovely voices in ardor appealing over the water made me crave to listen, and I tried to say ‘Untie me!' to the crew, jerking my brows; but they bent ste .....

.... very important facet of it, the physical is but an outcome of ideas and energy that has been building up for years previous to the confrontation. So if the answer to that is a "yes", if indeed an opposing philosophy must go through a series of 'degrees', before it has become threatening enough to live up to its 'revolutionary' name, well then the next obvious question one would have to ask would be, when exactly does a revolution start?..This study is geared towards a search for the answer to this, perhaps, open ended quest. In an attempt to exemplify the typical struggles for change, and independence, I have chosen to pr .....

.... the American colonists in their thoughts on the British. But why was such a turning point for the Colonists? To answer this question one must look at the events that lead to to fully understand the state of mind that the colonists were in. Since the end of the Seven Years War against the French, the British had gone into a great burden of debt. England finally confronted the matter when it appointed George Greenville to Prime Minister in 1763. Facing a debt that had nearly doubled since 1754, from 73 million pounds to 137 million pounds, Greenville had to find new ways to gain funds without taxing the already heavily taxed En .....

.... to Britain and Timbuktu for France. This did not neutralize the competition, however. Britain had to act in Nigeria (1885) and Nyasaland (1891) to protect existing spheres of commercial and missionary activities. France's strategy to declare its "right of occupation" and then seek negotiation further urged Britain's aggressive maintenance of territory. The British annexed Bechuanaland (1885) partly to guard against the Germans; partly to prevent its absorption by the Transvaal, which would have increased the power of the Boers. (Faber 57-58) Later, in 1888, the French threatened the Britain dominated Nile Valley, hi .....

.... hard as stone. This was a new age for us because the concrete formed the backbone of Rome's bold architecture. This material was then covered with a costly material, usually marble, to look more decorative. This was used around the city and people claimed that it looked as if it were the world capital, for which of course we are. The last important contribution to the Pax Romana Augustus made was setting up the civil service. This service was open to anybody of all ranks. The civil service took care of Rome's grain supply, road repairs, the postal system, and all the other work of running the empire. Even the former .....
