... walks with the front legs and trots with the hind legs. A more technical description is: the horse hits with its hind foot shortly before the diagonal forefoot lands.(Brady, p 50-53) This gait achieves speeds between five and ten mph. The other two natural gaits are the long easy-going flat foot walk and the delightful rocking horse canter. The Missouri Fox Trotting horse was developed in the rugged Ozark hills about one hundred sixty years ago by the settlers who needed a horse to plow, haul logs, work cattle, and be a stylish buggy horse or riding horse for the family. The pioneers who streamed across the Mississippi River to settle in the Ozarks came most ...
... leads to the conclusion that the human brain is little more than a big, complex computer. All we humans do is take input, process it, and accordingly create output, just like a computer. In fact, functionalists who support strong AI go so far as to say that an appropriately programmed computer actually has all the same mental states and capabilities as a human. In AMinds, Brains, and Programs,@ John Searle outlines this argument: AIt is a characteristic of human beings= story understanding capacity that they can answer questions about [a] story even though the information they give was never explicitly stated in the story. . . . [Strong AI claims that m]achines can ...
... transformed into a great amount of energy and two or three more neutrons are sent out, which go on to split other nuclei. If this continues a process called a chain reaction will occur. When this happens a fission explosion is the result. To form a chain reaction, a certain amount of material is needed. This amount is known as the critical mass. If the amount is too small it is known as a subcritical mass. The critical mass of a material depends on its purity. The materials used in making fission weapons are uranium and plutonium. They are the only elements able to be used in making a fission weapon. There are two different ways to make a fission weapon: the ...
... of Excellence has statistics on the most common hockey injuries and how they occured. the most common injuries are to the shoulder, knee and the head. Injury to the shoulder is the most common hockey injury in the game today because of the physcial contact. Of the injuries reported in the 1993-1994 hockey season, 12% of those were shoulder related.

... which is misleading in a material aspect.” (Simon 256) This definition would include all the false and misleading advertisements that would appear in print, television, radio, outdoor and direct mailings. As well as more non-traditional forms of advertising like transportation ads along with the use of pictures, trade names, display materials, labels, sales talks, sales letters, price lists and catalogs. As any consumer can see, advertisers have many means by which they can “trick” or deceive us consumers into buying products not planned for. Unlike most tort cases that are decided in the courtroom by a judge, most deceptive advertisem ...
... norms and values as individualism, efficiency, self-discipline, materialism, and calculability have been encouraged by the bureaucratic process. Bureaucracy and rationalisation were rapidly replacing all other forms of organisation and thought. Beginning to form a stranglehold on all sectors of Western society. Denying the possibility of developmental laws in sociology, Weber essentially presented rationalisation as the master trend of Western capitalist society. Rationalisation is the process whereby every area of human relationships is subject to calculation and administration. While Marxists have noted the prominence of rational calculation in factory discipli ...
... with 1,566. Pete is the only person in Major League history to play 500 games at five different positions: 939 at first base, 628 at second base, 634 at third base, 671 in right field, and 595 in left field. All of these records certainly make him one of the greatest players in Major League Baseball history. Numerous baseball players come to mind when thinking about players who have committed crimes and done things against the law. For example, one of them is Ty Cobb. Ty Cobb's baseball records are also astounding compared to Pete Rose. While in his playing career, Ty Cobb admitted to killing a man. Cobb was walking down the street when a man supposed ...
