... that the gambler places. On-site operators use computers to run complex programs to simulate gambling games, such as the spin of a roulette wheel. Upon completion of a game, an on-site operator reports back to the gambler to notify whether they have won or lost. The design of an online gambling site precludes gamblers from investigating whether games are operated fairly. Therefore, gamblers are at the mercy of those on-site operators who manipulate the odds or who falsely report game results. According to Bernard Horn of the National Coalition Against Gambling Expansion states, "there's just no way to tell if virtual dice, roulette or cards are rolled, spun o ...

... Serial murder is defined as the killing of three or more people over a period of more than 30 days with a significant cooling off period between the killings (Seltzer 18). This cooling off period is the critical factor that separates the serial killer from mass and spree killers. A serial killer usually emerges from the pain and suffering of a life riddled with abuse, neglect, hormonal imbalances, and other numerous situations. Serial murder is a disease. There are valid explanations that help society realize that these individuals experienced events so traumatic in their early lives that they have become dead to their surroundings and have attained no sense ...
... essential question which, if answered, would provide evidence on whether stimuli are semantically processed before or after selection is what people know about the unattended information. If the subject does not know the meaning of unattended information, this would mean that it has been discarded before it has been processed for meaning. One of the first approaches to this question was attempted by Cherry (1953, in Parkin, 1999) who carried out an experiment in which subjects were required hear two different messages simultaneously, one in each ear, but only pay attention to one of them. To make sure that subjects were not attending to the other message, they were ...
... around us is a burden. Rousseau then discusses what the original way of living is. He would say that there is an inequality in how we live, because we are born free and that is taken away from us. The chains that led from the inequality are subjugation, dominance, and oppression. These chains are artificial, because we are born free. Humans acquired the chains, Rousseau would argue. He will go on to say that because humans began to rationalize these chains were caused. Thinking rationally creates generalities , and along with the generalities comes labeling people. We began to use reason to get things that we would call our own possessions. Hav ...
... you stop and think, it's a lot easier to throw money around and buy things than it is to sit down and devise a plan to minimize the student to teacher ratio. People are very concerned about having Internet access in every classroom. How are all the students supposed to take advantage of this opportunity if they have to wait in a long line for their turn? Smaller classes seem to be the answer. No more numb arms because some poor kid raised their hand and the teacher did not even notice. With fewer students in a classroom, teachers can spend more one-on-one time with each student, giving them the individual attention they need. Not all grades benefit from clas ...

... to lean toward a goal when they do not know what they want. The baseball strike involves greed, uncertainty, and lack of desire to resolve the issue on both sides. While confusion mounts among owners and persistence rides high among players, things are only going to get worse until they come to some sort of an agreement. The baseball strike of `94 officially hit the hearts of America on August 12, three quarters into one of the most intriguing seasons in a long time. A season on the verge of breaking many long standing records. As the strike began, the people of the world looked with sadness, as well as disgust towards players and owners. Officiall ...
... looks. You never know what you’re going to get. When you look at a personality you are looking at a person’s soul. You see a life with in a life. For example, you meet a person and get to know them and you begin to notice their traits. You notice if they are nice, kind, outgoing, lazy, bad, mean, rude…etc. therefore, when you form a relationship. You already know something about that person. In my opinion, personality is the way to go and not looks. You find more out about the person, and don’t have to worry about whether the person is cute or not. Judging people on their looks is a form of racism and most people don’t realize that. Th ...
... the press lords became more intense, people began calling it yellow journalism which now has come to mean overly sensational journalism. Although Outcault won the battle over the rights of "Yellow kid," the mass marketing began. The cartoon was everywhere. Products were being produced, even cigars, bearing the "yellow kid."

Of these comics, "Katzenjammer Kids" drawn by Rudolph Dirks in 1897, was one of the most popular and first to regularly use voice balloons for dialogue. Outcault also continued drawing, and began a strip called "Buster Brown" which was to be a tie between the comic strip and the ...
