The plant is an annual, hairy herb, usually branched from the base, spreading up to 40 cm long. The stem is slender and often reddish and purplish in color, covered with yellowish bristly hairs especially in younger parts. The leaves are oppositely arranged, elliptical-oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 1 to 2.5 cm long, toothed at the edge, and blotched with purple in the middle. In the axils appear numerous involucres, purplish or greenish, dense, axillary, short stalk clusters or crowded cymes, about 1 mm long. The capsules are broadly ovoid, hairy, three-angled, about 1.5 cm. The small green flowers constitute the inflourescence characteristics of the euphorbias. The stem and the leaves produce white or milky juice when cut (Lind and Tallantire...

...The Computer Mouse The computer mouse first came about in the early 1980's. The idea being that the movement from the users hand could be turned into signals that the computer could read moving the cursor around and also allowing the buttons to function when pressed. Today there are a few different types of computer mice on the market. These being the mice that use the traditional tracking ball, the optical mouse and the mouse that has no physical connection to the computer. The most common mouse found near a computer today is the traditional mouse that uses the tracking ball. This is the same method as was used when the mouse was first released in the 1980's. The track ball inside the mouse touches the desk when it is moved. When the ball moves the motion is detected by two perpendicular axis, one which detects x axis directional motion and the other y-axis direction motion. Tracking Ball Perpendicular axis motion detectors Hole in which track ball would sit The diagrams above show the tracking ball and the hole in which the tracking ball sits. You can see the x and y axis motion detectors of which the y-axis detector lies 90° from the x-axis detector. These motion detectors are also known as rollers. When the mouse is in use the tracking ball moves moving one or both of the rollers. Each roller is connected to a shaft, which spins a disc. The disc has holes in it and next to the disc is an infrared LED and an infrared...

...Q3 Ans. Martha has chosen women as its target market but Martha has to consider whether the woman is the decision maker when it comes to home improvement items like mousetraps. Martha could try targeting males. The men who see it as their role/duty to deal with pest control in the home thus protecting the women from the gruesome nature that is usually involves in the process. In the case of Trap-Ease the mouse maybe trap alive in the trap and women may not want to deal with that aspect but the man may have no problem of disposing the trap with a live mouse. Businesses such as offices and warehouses are another option Martha may wish to consider. Business owners who need to safeguard their supplies and equipment can well be served by the Trap-Ease. Martha should appeal to these people showing them the benefit of using the Trap-Ease instead of poison or the traditional mousetrap. One of the benefit is when poison is used the mice may end up dead anywhere and stink up the office environment before it is found whereas the Trap-Ease you would know exactly where you place it and can dispose of it in a timely manner. The food service industry such as restaurant, canteens is yet another market Martha can target. The food service industry has to maintain certain health standards one of which is maintaining a pest free Environment. Martha can show them the benefit of using the Trap-Ease to achieve these standards thus better serving their customers and at the same time protect their...

...Lit. and Comp. Mr. West Symbolism is a key concept throughout the novel, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. Though there were many examples of symbolism, mice were paramount throughout the book, even included in the title of the novel. They were symbolic of the struggle with helplessness. The mice and Lenny were helpless and acted without the ability to understand consequences they may face because of their lack of cognitive ability. The mice in the story were helpless creatures that were only seeking love and affection. As any other animal, mice act upon nature instinct. Their brains don’t have a thinking process of cause and effect; they act upon what their natural instinct is. So when the mouse acted impulsively and bit Lennie, Lennie acted impulsively and killed the mouse. Lennie was different from most people. His brain didn’t process the way a normal human beings does. All he wanted was to be loved and cared for like any other person. He was unable to understand the potential consequences of his actions, but rather acted on impulse. He was so helpless that most of the time when he got into situations, he couldn’t even remember them. So when Lennie and Curleys wife got into an argument and Lennie got scared he acted upon impulse and shook Curleys wife to death. The title of the book is Of Mice and Men which from previous examples show how both can be helpless creatures. In examples throughout the book these helpless creatures are taken in to be loved and cared...

...------------------------------------------------- Mouse (computing) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A computer mouse with the most common standard features: two buttons and a scroll wheel, which can also act as a third button. A mouse is a pointing device that functions by detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface. Physically, a mouse consists of an object held under one of the user's hands, with one or more buttons. The mouse sometimes features other elements, such as "wheels", which allow the user to perform various system-dependent operations, or extra buttons or features that can add more control or dimensional input. The mouse's motion typically translates into the motion of a pointer on a display, which allows for fine control of a graphical user interface. ------------------------------------------------- Naming The earliest known publication of the term mouse as a pointing device is in Bill English's 1965 publication "Computer-Aided Display Control".[1] The online Oxford Dictionaries entry for mouse states the plural for the small rodent is mice, while the plural for the small computer connected device is either mice or mouses. However, in the usage section of the entry it states that the more common plural is mice, and that the first recorded use of the term in the plural is mice as well (though it cites a 1984 use of mice when there were actually several earlier ones).[2] The term mice was seen in print in "The Computer as a...

Do you think that the competition of Logitech with Microsoft is fair? Discuss. ANS. Yes according to my opinion I think the competition of Logitech with Microsoft is fair because we all know that the Microsoft is market leader and it is also known king of the jungle or Logitech started by small company. In past, They were nothing in front of Microsoft but now Logitech focuses on his work and makes every variation of mouse imaginable and now serves different products like: • Key – boards • Gaming controllers • PC speakers • Headsets • Cooling Pads etc. Now, in PC mouse market, Logitech competes head – on with Microsoft. At first glance, it looks like an unfair contest. With more than $58 billion in sales, Microsoft is nearly 30 times bigger than $2.2 billion Logitech. But when it comes to mice and other peripherals, Logitech has a depth of focus and knowledge that no other company in the world including Microsoft can match. Q 2. What can you say about the strength of Logitech? ANS. Logitech has a depth of focus and knowledge that no other company in the...

...The Mouse and the mouse trap There was a mouse who used merrily live with a chicken, a pig and a cow in a farmyard. One day while the mouse was looking through the wall crack, he saw the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap!! The mouse realized that he was in big trouble. Hence he retreating to the farmyard and proclaimed this warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. THAT’S NOT MY PROBLEM! I cannot be bothered by it.” The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The pig sympathized, but said, “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.. Be assured you are in my prayers.” The mouse turned to the cow and said, “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The cow said, “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.” So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap all alone… That very night a sound was heard throughout the house – the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a venomous snake whose...

... Of Mice and Men “The best laid schemes of Mice and Men go often askew.” Of Mice and Men tells a tale about two unlikely friends, small but intelligent George and enormous but childlike Lennie. They are going to a farm and Lennie gets in a lot of trouble. Lennie has a tendency to grab onto things when he gets scared and that gets him in trouble, and George has to bail him out by packing up their stuff and leaving. The death of Lennie, Curley’s wife and George and Lennie’s dream are all important events in this book. The death of Lennie might come as a surprise to some or might be obvious to others. For example candy says “ I shoulda done it myself,” after Carlson kills his dog. Candy feels bad that he didn’t kill the dog himself. George wanted Lennie to be happy/not upset when he died. When Carlson says “right in the back of the head,” he’s talking about shooting Candy’s dog. Carlson shot Candy’s dog “right in the back of the head,” and it was painless. George wanted Lennie’s death to be painless so he did it, rather than Curley shooting him in the back of his head and waiting for him to bleed out and die that way. George killed Lennie quick and didn’t cause him any pain. The death of Curley’s wife probably wasn’t as much of a surprise for she didn’t even have a name. Lennie says “I’m not supposed to talk to you, George says your trouble,” to Curley’s wife,and she still wouldn’t leave. The other men thought she was trouble, because she was always around. She was just lonely...

...Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men tells the story of two men, George and Lennie. These two are working a new job, with the dream of, hopefully, one day owning their own farm. Lennie, unaware and unable to control his strength, accidentally kills a woman. George is forced to choose Lennie’s fate. Steinbeck’s use of foreshadowing, narration, and tone illustrates the bitter and heartless side of human nature. To begin, Steinbeck utilizes foreshadowing to portray how humans can be cruel. Carlson notices how Candy’s dog is frail and suffering from old age. He persistently tells Candy to kill the dog, as the animal is no longer useful. Carlson describes how he would kill the sheep dog “Right back of the head. He wouldn’t even quiver” (Steinbeck 45). Candy later regrets his decision and says “I ought to shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn't ought to let no stranger shoot my dog” (Steinbeck 60). This forced murder of Candy’s dog foreshadows a future event, in which George kills Lennie. While Lennie is facing away from George, Steinbeck narrates, And George raised the gun and steadied it, and he brought the muzzle of it close to the back of Lennie’s head. The hand shook violently, but his face set and his hand steadied. He pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the hills and rolled down again. Lennie jarred, and then settled slowly forward to the sand, and he lay without quivering. (104) Lennie is not able to control his strength. He accidently kills animals and kills Curley’s...

...The History of the Computer Mouse The computer mouse is considered an input device. With a click of a button, the mouse sends information to the computer. The computer mouse is an interesting device that offers an alternative way to interact with the computer beside a keyboard. A typical mouse has two buttons. At the top of the device you will find a left and right button which allows for “clicks”. There is a scrolling wheel between the two buttons. Douglas Engelbart's device was not the first pointing device. In fact, it seems that the first product was a trackball. It was invented a lot earlier, in 1953, by Tom Cranston, Fred Longstaff and Kenyon Taylor for the Royal Canadian Navy. As part of the secret military project DATAR. The name “trackball” comes from the fact that the respective device actually used a standard Canadian five-pin bowling ball. Just imagine how “easy” using such a product really was. (Vochin, 2009) Engelbart created the first prototypes of the now-familiar device in 1963 at Stanford Research Institute, but he first displayed his creation to the public in Dec 6, 1968. ( Edwards, 2008) The mouse was much larger than today's mouse, square, and had a small button in the top right corner. It used two wheels to roll back and forth. It was the also the first mouse that could fit into a user's hand. In 1972, Jack Hawley and Bill English, inspired by Engelbart’s work, designed a digital mouse for Xerox PARC. This new mouse didn’t require an analog-to-digital...
