.... was fashionable” (Sichel, 18). Underneath an early 1890s corset there were some things kept hidden. It is said that breast piercing was a quick little trend in the 1890s. Piercing was done to improve the bust line by making it curve more. “By the end of the nineteenth century skirts still trailed on the ground at times, corsets were still too tight, but there were no more freak fashions and the Edwardian fashionable woman was not the model for others to seek to follow…” (Ewing, 137). As years went on underwear changed. Between the years 1990-1910, underwear had a face-lift. Cotton underwear was now a thing of the past, and silk and other products took over. ....

.... for example “ Corey of Carlisle.” The actual use of surnames originated in Europe, and in some Scandinavian areas, in the eleventh and fifteenth century by small villages. The reason that no surnames were used before this time was the fact that most people were illiterate, living in small villages in a country atmosphere. Living out in the country these people had no reason to learn to read or write, because their lives were lived off the land. They did not need surnames to signify who they we’re or what they did. In these small villages they went by their first names, people all had different first names, so they did not need surnames to tell people apar ....

.... piercing and tattoos. Those who modify, manipulate, and mutilate their bodies do so for many reasons. Some say it is simply exciting and pleasurable, or part of the latest fad. Others place it in the context of art, ritual or self-expression—they say it is an act with cultural and social significance. In contrast, many people cannot understand why someone would choose to put so many holes in her body or cut their skin. They see body modification as self-destructive, much like anorexia or bulimia.

.... of Instant replay say that, "The tight end who drops a pass in the end zone doesn't get a second chance. Why should the official?" The reason the official should get a second chance is simple; an official's decision can change the outcome of the game. How can we possibly ask someone to make a judgment on something that they barely saw in the first place? In 1996 league officials decided to give Instant replay a try-out in some preseason games. This trial version was not the same animal as it previously had been. It had several modifications: the referee will directly review the play in question using an on-the-field monitor (under the former system an official in the p ....

.... computing now offers real hope for progress. The state of affairs described above is like a fat pitch don the middle of home plate, just begging for thin-client computing proponents to smack it out of the park. When it comes to total cost of ownership for desktop computing services, thin-client computing is a bottom-line winner. Yes users will have to five up some control of their desktops. Any yes, administrators will need to learn a new approach to application deployment. But the payback is so clear; ’ arrival is almost inevitable. What about $500 PCs, you ask? Why buy a brain-dead thin-client device when PC prices are in free fall? Here’s anot ....

.... features that the Cell Phone provides prove it is better than a pager. Therefore eliminating the pager out of the market is justified, and can be done in a few years. Since the first day pagers were available, they didn’t provide many features. One negative aspect of a pager is that the receiver cannot determine if the message is important or not. Other than displaying the sender’s number, it can display time and date - big deal. Some newer pagers are able to display text messages. This feature gives the owner more information about the page that he receives but he cannot determine the importance of the message. The message that a sender composes isn’t as ....

.... during the winter months ("History"). Dr. Naismith had played rugby and he didn’t like the roughness of that game. He wanted a team game which would get rid of most physical contact ("Basketball"). The game contained elements from American football, soccer, and hockey ("History"). Dr. Naismith contemplated the way the game should be played and what should be used for a goal. His original idea was to have a vertical goal. When he consulted some of his students, they brought to his attention that people would be able to block an attempt to score by simply raising their hand in front of the ball. He then came up with the idea of a horizontal goal in which the pl ....
