Excerpt from King Lear - anthology.
Find out their enemies now. Tremble, thou wretchThat hast within thee undivulgéd crimesUnwhipped of justice. Hide thee, thou bloody hand,Thou perjured, and thou simular of virtueThat art incestuous. Caitiff, to pieces shake,That under covert and convenient seemingHas practised on man’s life. Close pent-up guilts,Rive your concealing continents, and cryThese dreadful summoners grace.

To this my mother returned, “Certainly, my dear Jane,” and said no more. I felt apprehensive that I was personally interested in this dialogue, and sought Mr. Murdstone's eye as it lighted on mine. “Now, David,” he said—and I saw that cast again, as he said it—”you must be far more careful to-day than usual.” He gave the cane another poise, and anotherswitch; and having finished his preparation of it, laid it down beside him, with an expressive look, and took up his book.

disabled are sometimes more stronger, with more skills than normal people or even able-bodied athletes. In order to achieve their goals, disabled people have to be courageous, mentally strong, hard-work, self-confident and very motived . What makes a hero of a disabled person is that he can overcome his fears, his obstacles and go to the end of him. And for us the spectators, we have trouble for them, but we know that they are capable and have great skills, we respect them as much as other athle...

Regardless of the method used to attain a supercritical assembly, the chain reaction proceeds for about a millionth of a second, liberating vast amounts of heat energy.The extremely fast release of a very large amount of energy in a relatively small volume causes the temperature to rise to tens of millions of degrees. The resultingrapid expansion and vaporization of the bomb material causes a powerful explosion. VI PRODUCTION OF FISSILE MATERIAL Much experimentation was necessary to make the p...

Excerpt from Our Mutual Friend - anthology.
The Podsnaps lived in a shady angle adjoining Portman Square. They were a kind of people certain to dwell in the shade, wherever they dwelt. Miss Podsnap's lifehad been, from her first appearance on this planet, altogether of a shady order; for, Mr Podsnap's young person was likely to get little good out of association withother young persons, and had therefore been restricted to companionship with not very congenial older persons, and with massive furniture. Miss Podsnap's earlyviews of life be...

A nuclear fission reaction releases 10 million times as much energy as is released in a typical chemical reaction. See Nuclear Chemistry.

Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Aesthetic attitude
there are some features that everyone with normal eyes, ears and intelligence perceives - shape or loudness, forexample.

If a vase is gracefully curved, either one sees thegracefulness or one does not.

When unemployment is low, a deficit may result in rising prices, or inflation. The additional government spending creates more competition for scarce workersand resources and thi...

two electrically charged plates (positively charged top plate and negatively charged bottom plate). By measuring the difference in how fast these electron-laden oildrops fell when the metal plates were charged and uncharged, Millikan was able to calculate the total charge on each oil drop. Because each measurement was a wholenumber multiple of -1.60 × 10 -19 coulombs, Millikan concluded this was the charge carried by a single electron. Using Thomson’s electron charge-to-mass ratio, Millikan then...

Earthquake.
III CAUSES Most earthquakes are caused by the sudden slip along geologic faults. The faults slip because of movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates. This concept is called theelastic rebound theory. The rocky tectonic plates move very slowly, floating on top of a weaker rocky layer. As the plates collide with each other or slide past eachother, pressure builds up within the rocky crust. Earthquakes occur when pressure within the crust increases slowly over hundreds of years and finally exceeds...

A wide-ranging dialogue with various philosophers and theologians makes Biel's work valuable as an encyclopedic overview of the diversity in Western thought at the end of the Middle Ages.

His Canonis misse expositio (1488) is a remarkable example of the symbiosis between late medieval theology and spirituality. The pragmatic tendency of Biel's thought...

True wit is nature to advantage drest; What oft was thought, but ne'er so well exprest.
