.... a small clan. His father was poisoned when he was still young and, the clan, for lack of an effective leader, abandoned Temujin, his mother, and several brothers and half brothers. This had an effect on him which, although difficult, would lead Temujin at the age of forty, after having consolidating several clans, to be elected Grand Khan of the Mongols in 1206. Although he had a difficult start, when he died twenty years latter, his rule extended from the Caspian to the northern coast of China. Genghis Khan was perhaps one of the greatest military innovators in human history, and his a .....

.... obscure family. His family was a sublineage of a deputy military governor (shugodai) house in Owari Province since about 1400. Though his father Nobuhide was a vassal of the Kiyosu branch of the Oda, he was actually a sengoku daimyo. The Oda were shugodai of Owari's lower four districts. As the lord of Nagoya Castle, he had the power to compete with daimyo of neighboring provinces. He made peace with Saito Dosan (neighboring daimyo) by marrying Nobunaga to Dosan's daughter. Nobuhide's abrupt death from a disease in 1551 left Nobunaga to fill his shoes at the age of seventeen. At his .....

.... have to have someone to look at and remind us that anything is possible and nothing can stop someone with a worthy cause and a commendable heart. Role models are the only way that people will believe that there is always a dream. And that if you try hard enough that dream could come true. African Americans were discriminated and were scapegoats just because of the color of their skin. This factor in the situation can change a lot that can happen in the future. In the 21st century racism could very easily be a threat. It wouldn’t matter if it were their skin or their religion that&# .....

.... because they wanted he to be an "acting President" , which means they wanted Tyler to agree with whatever Congress said. Instead, Tyler fought with Congress on every issue possible. Tyler was unpopular with the people because he did not keep Harrison's inaugural promises. He also remarried while in office with a woman about half his age which is not a very presidential thing to do during the 1840's. Tyler was not re-elected. In 1844, Polk was elected president with his "All of Oregon or nothing" slogan. Polk was a expansionist and believed in "Manifest Destiny" , which is the belief th .....

.... in 1973 Stephen came to the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henry Lucas, who had been the Member of Parliament for the University.

.... Africa” (Bethel, 138). First, by mentioning the fact that the Third World contains three fourths of the Earth’s population, and combining that fact with that of those worlds having an overall lesser knowledge upon transmission, prevention, and AIDS in general, it is not surprising that these countries populations are greatly impacted by mortality. “Africa, with about 12% of the world’s population, is now reporting about 25% of the world’s AIDS cases. It is estimated to have over 65% of the total number of HIV-infected adults and 90% of the world’s HIV-infected children� .....

.... and courage made up for his lack of build (Fichner-Rathus 331-332). Verrocchio, who also designed a sculpture of David, was the most important and imaginative sculptor of the mid-fifteenth century. This figure of the youthful David is one of the most beloved and famous works of its time. In Verrocchio's David, we see a strong contrast to Donatello's treatment of the same subject. Although both artists choose to portray David as an adolescent, Verrocchio's brave man "appears somewhat older and excludes pride and self-confidence rather than a dreamy gaze of disbelief" (Fichner-Rathus 334). .....
