Aquinas First Proof Of The Exi
Number of words: 447 - Number of pages: 2.... cannot be the first to act, as it is in the state of ability too. When the wood is in this state, it has no action to transfer, and therefore is obviously not the first to act. The fire, although able to transfer the action, must have been at one time in the state of ability too, and therefore was acted upon, making it not the first too act.

A recent incident at The San Francisco Examiner illustrated filter two. Nike and the Examiner were co-sponsoring the Bay to Breakers race. At the same time Stephanie Salter, a columnist at the paper, wrote an article about Nike's inhumane practices in Asian.

Transition to a personal computer with the same functions.
Typewriter Flexibility
An electronic typewriter can perform some functions computers cannot, but a personal computer (PC) cannot be used a mere typewriter (nor should it be). Perhaps that is why one large survey found that 85% of secretaries who use PC's also use typewriters. Using microchip technology, sophisticated electronic typewriters can perform many of the automatic functions and editing functions of which computers are capable.
Automatic functions. Among the features of electronic typewriters are automatic c .....

Boxing-A Safe Sport
Number of words: 675 - Number of pages: 3.... of that round. When scoring this way, there is little emphasis on inflicting pain. Head guards are mandatory in the United States and in major international competitions. Form-fitted mouthpieces are also required and must be worn at all times; if it falls out, it is replaced immediately. Two boxers are usually matched up to their ability or skill level so to keep the bout fair. Also a boxer is never placed in a position where he will get injured.
