From the Paper
"The Accomplishments of B.F. Skinner "Skinner is the most important American psychologist of the twentieth century, and arguably the most important world psychologist since, or including, Freud," yet he never directly studied psychology (Smith, 1999, 1). B.F. Skinner obtained his college degree in literature. He never took college courses for psychology, yet his gift of understanding behavior has made him famous as a behavior psychologist. His interests in behavior of animals or humans led to his vast amount of work concerning behavioral science. Skinner wrote a number of books and articles that continue to be important in the field of psychology. B.F. Skinner found the behavior of organism fascinating and began to study how animals reacted to different stimuli. Skinner changed the meaning of psychology, which is the study of humans. "

Abstract
The paper examines the works and life accomplishments of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). Hildegard was a notable medieval Christian Abbess and founder of the convent at Rupertsberg. The author discusses her contributions to philosophy, theology and science.

From the Paper
"Many of the works of Hildegard stand as examples of primitive attempts to derive a rational explanation for the world in which she lived. She strove to provide a coherent philosophy of the material universe within the context of the Middle Ages. Her life was a time when matters of science, philosophy and theology were thought of as inexorably interdependent. Although her conclusions may appear grotesquely incorrect in comparison to modern standards, we must be careful not to underestimate her intellectual merits. There is great beauty and power to be found within her ecstatic mystical works, despite the absence of any modern scientific foundation."

Abstract
This paper begins with a description of what the author believes defines an outstanding accomplishment and then goes on to tell why her personal achievement, that of becoming the field commander of her high school marching band, fits the definition she has presented of an outstanding accomplishment.

From the Paper
"Everyone has achieved something. For some people an achievement is playing sports; for others it is receiving good grades. Webster's dictionary defines achievement as a "great or heroic deed" or "something accomplished by valor, boldness or praiseworthy exertion." Achievement is also defined as accomplishing a task successfully. Throughout the course of our lives we all have ample opportunities to achieve something, whether it be great or something relatively minor. Today and every day, I am concerned with realizing not just an achievement, but an outstanding achievement."

Abstract
Jonathan Swift's "Prediction for the Year 1708" & "The Accomplishment of the First of Mr. Bickerstaff's Predictions" in which he caustically satirizes an Almanac-Maker & astrology. Swift's purpose to expose sin & folly. Reasons Swift targeted almanac-makers & astrologers including exploitation of gullible people. Discusses Swift's satirical methods such as incongruity, mockery, exaggeration.

From the Paper
In Predictions for the year 1708 and The Accomplishment of the First of Mr. Bickerstaff s Predictions, Jonathan Swift lashed out at Partridge, the Almanac-Maker, and astrology in general. By using a variety of satirical techniques, such as incongruity, sarcasm and exaggeration, Swift captured the deception of almanac-makers who pretended to make accurate predictions of the forthcoming year in their annual publications. The satire works even more successfully because of its realism: Swift imitated the writing style of a rival maker of Partridge (Mayhew 278). Furthermore, Swift literally stabbed at the heart of astrology by predicting the death of Partridge and then consolidated his death in the subsequent piece, Accomplishment, in a deliberate attempt to play a joke on him (Mayhew 276-278).
