.... the lemon and six drops fell into the glass. As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked the little lady, "What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or what?" The woman replied, "I work for the IRS!" Apparently, the crowd laughed because the woman was not expected to squeeze anything out of the lemon. In fact, a woman in such a situation would be expected to just stand around her hero, the bartender, and cheer him up. How come a woman stepped into the role of a traditional masculine challenger and surprised the audience? Why was it difficult for the crowd to accept a woman in a power-challenging role? How was that swallowed? I ....

.... with incidental cues that are pleasing to the senses. The central route is used to reach people who are more motivated and analytical, while people who are less analytical and less involved are more likely to be influenced by the peripheral route. In advertising a combination of the two is common and effective. Computer ads rely primarily on the central route, because their target audiences are perceived as highly analytical. Promotion for alcohol and tobacco products employ the peripheral route because they wish to draw attention away from the possible negative effects that they are, in reality, associated with. To truly understand the effects of persuasi ....

.... It was completely up to the school authority figures on the type of punishment and the severity of the punishment given to the student. The classroom teacher had the most say in the matter since it was the teacher who usually administered the punishment to the students. Because of this, some teachers (who especially liked the idea of physical punishment) took advantage of the minor guidelines set by the principal to protect students from excessive physical beatings. These guidelines varied from school to school, but often included length, width and thickness of the paddle or any other weapon used, the amount of times the student may be struck by the weapon, and other mino ....

If one of these is important it is suddenly brought to your conscious attention. Perhaps you are playing a computer game and you suddenly recognize the voice of the company president coming down the hall. Even though you are strongly focused on the game, the recognition of that voice destroys your concentration as it is brought to conscious attention.

.... and an archive on Shakespeare in Performance at the Globe, featuring illustrations and texts on the building of the original Globe, staging at the original Globe and staging at the New Globe. After the Globe was closed by the Puritans in 1642, its form and layout became an enigma. Only a few relevant documents existed and none of these provided a complete and accurate picture of its design. There have been countless attempts at reconstructing the Globe, whether on paper or in real size. In 1970, Sam Wanamaker established the Shakespeare Globe Playhouse Trust. A 0.8 acre site was identified that very year on Bankside, but construction work only began in 1987. In 1982, Pr ....
