.... at 25 mills and that commercial properties be assessed at 20 mills. This would generate around $100 million in new revenue for Oklahoma schools. Eugene Chitwood, Okemah County Assessor, suggested that public service companies be assessed at 23 mills and that commercial properties be assessed at 15-19 mills. This would generate around $50 million in new revenue for Oklahoma schools. The utility companies are currently paying 22.85 mills and commercial properties are paying 11 mills. Private advalorem property is assessed at 11-14 mills. The utility companies were receptive to the suggestions. They do not care if their taxe .....

.... to distinguish between the spheres of the secular and vernacular. To prove these points, I also intend to explore Hammurabi's codification of natural law, and Socrates' interpretation of the state of legal positivism in ancient Greece. Although misguided, the ancient Egyptians systemically subscribed their lives to divine authority and law. This is due to their culture's unique co-habitation of secular life and vernacular authority. The source of authority in Egypt, pharaoh god-kings, were the embodiment of human body and divine spirit, hence, no distinction existed between secular and human coexistence in ancient Egypt. .....

.... cultural development and the environment. Transportation would greatly be affected if we did not have cars. Especially in America since automobiles are the number one source of transportation. Life of everyday Americans would be slowed down. Children getting to school and employees getting to work would be a much harder task. The economy would be hurt if we did not have cars. Manufacturers would have a harder time transporting their goods. Another way of moving goods from city to city would need to be found. Also, cultural development would be affected if their were no cars. There would be more room for people to walk an .....

.... to question tradition. I feel that in this situation it's not society in general that constructs gender but simply ignorance through tradition. In my mothers case it wasn't society at all but merely her families strict traditional values that tried construct her into the "traditional women" figure. Even though many years have past since my mother has grown up and much has changed traditional values still play a part in how gender difference is created in society. In my own life my family has influenced my views on gender dramatically. When I was young I would listen to my grandfather ramble (in that myopic traditionally old fashion .....

.... “any strategy that results in advanced placement or credit may be titled as acceleration”(p. 106). Acceleration is the act of advancing students into grades higher than their year of enrolment allows. The Board of Studies guidelines for accelerated progression (1991), define acceleration as involving, “the promotion of a student to a level of study beyond that which is usual for his/her age” (p.3). Rice (1970) has also defined it as a “rapid acquisition of knowledge and skills” (p. 178). These definitions of acceleration, especially the one offered by the Board of Studies, closely align Harrison (1995) who describe .....

.... are meet. Children’s physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs must be met if they are to grow and develop towards their full potential. Whether at home or in some form of , children require essentials such as love, security, praise and recognition, responsibility and space to explore and learn new things. Alternative options for include: a baby-sitter - an individual who comes to your home and watches your child / children on an irregular basis. In most cases they are a local teenager with no special training. However, most schools and girls clubs now offer training courses in baby-sitting, first aid and infant / .....

.... Even so, my mom always loved to slap me with the dreaded, "I'm telling your father when he gets home!" Then she would hit me with the stories of her youth. My father's stories showed how reckless my father had been growing up. He told me many stories about going to Florida. He said he would often pack up and go to Florida when he was about eighteen years old. He recalled a time when his friends were going and they asked him a day before if he could join them. He said he woke his father up at two o'clock in the morning and told him he was on his way to Florida. His father was mad! "You woke me up at two A.M!" he hollered, "how .....

.... stay the same. The numbers of hits that McGwire and Sosa have have been pretty close to the number they should have in this point of their careers. McGwire has 1,388 hits in 1,576 games and Sosa has 1,280 hits in 1,289 games. If Sosa were in the league the same amount of time that McGwire has been, Sosa would have probably had more hits. Sosa has only played in 1,289 games as where McGwire has only played in 1,576 games. Sosa has a 99 percent chance of getting a hit each game, however McGwire has only an 88 percent chance of getting a hit each game. The amount of their RBI's (Runs Batted In) is a totally different story. McGwir .....

.... original street slang usage, felt that the word meant “exhausted, at the bottom the world, looking up or out, sleepless, wide-eyes, perceptive, rejected b society, on your own, streetwise.” Kerouac was completely captivated by the mood and tone of the word ‘beat.’ He insisted that the word possessed a deeper quality and meant something spiritual and mysterious. That kind of beatness is what Kerouac was describing in himself and his friends. They were bright young Americans that couldn’t fit into society as clean-cut soldiers or self-satisfied young businessmen. They were ‘beat’ because they didn’t have and didn’ .....

.... manic depression. In order to help him the doctors advised him to stay in Tara, a psychiatric clinic, for a few months with therapy and medication providing him with the help he needed. All my family has been able to do is provide the much needed support, love and encouragement as the nature of my cousins “madness” are feelings of worthlessness, hopefulness and helplessness as well as a destroyed self-esteem. This was my first experience with a so- called “madness”. It is believed that “madness” often occurs at adolescence because of developmental demands and a variety of biological and social changes. I can see thro .....
