Opinions On Esoteric Practices
2842 Words - 11 Pages

.... the determining of personality traits according to birth time and period are fairly accurate, but very general. On the other hand I would not put any scope into truly predicting the future via this becuase the whole theory behind it doesn't work any longer if they are using the present day calendar and symbols. The original basis of astrology was not 12 but 13 Astrological constellations, which were the predominant sign for each Lunar month (13 signs, 13 moon cycles to a year). The missing sign is the Snake or serpent (dependant on where in the world you were born) and it was the 13th house of the system, fitting, if I remember correctly, on one side of Scorpio. If anyone is ....


Its A Right Handed World
568 Words - 3 Pages

.... our workplaces, and on our playing fields, but we still make it difficult for them to fit in and to feel comfortable. The issues affecting left-handed people are much more serious than most people realize. There are many things that right-handed people take for granted that are more difficult for left-handers. This includes many basic skills taught in school, such as learning to write, learning to use scissors, and learning various crafts, hobbies, sports, and other activities. If we don't teach left-handed children just as well as we teach right-handers, they are more likely to lose interest in school and to lose confidence in themselves. It is not exactly clear how all lef ....


International Business - Coca~
1860 Words - 7 Pages

.... this again depends on a complexity of economic and cultural reasons influencing international trade, which I will develop critically in the further case study of Pepsi & Coke in accordance to the following questions. 1.) Did PepsiCo make too many concessions in order to enter the Indian market? Could the company have negotiated better? In this case study PepsiCo – for the second time – intends to enter the Indian market, though already having experienced major problems which consequently led to their first departure (for non profitability). As well Coca Cola departured India after harsh disagreements with the government. Why after all did Pepsi enter again, ....


Legacies: Roman, Greeks, And Hebrews
347 Words - 2 Pages

.... the Romans economic system, we gained their great knowledge of architecture. The Romans were great builders and put the arch to much use. The Greeks gave us one of the first forms of democracy, and a well developed navy. Athens, one of the most powerful city-states in Greece had a form of government called a direct-democracy, which is where the citizens directly interact with government affairs. The other legacy of the Greeks was their Navy. The navy was mostly utilized by Athens in their struggle against Sparta. It served as a useful way to fight and transport armies across seas. The main legacy of the Hebrews was religion. They brought in the idea of monotheism which i ....


Confused In America
1667 Words - 7 Pages

.... what I have been thinking sinc e then is to buy an air ticket to go home. To comfort myself I thought of a principle by which I have been doing things these days: Just fight and fumble in America to get whatever I can, with my great motherland backing me up. The worst of it is to go back to go on being a professor and moonli ghter and in any case, I will still be among the para-middle-class. As to the money I spend here, well, just treat it as the money I lose in Las Vegas. But still I am no big gambler. When I talk about going abroad before I went abroad, we talked it in such a way that it seemed we would rather do anything to stay abroad. Even t ....


Chinese Architecture
769 Words - 3 Pages

.... buildings, temples, and palaces all follow these same basic principles. Another characteristic of Chinese architecture it that they use a wooden frame structure with pillars and beams. Wood has been a main construction product for thousands of years. Nails are not used when building a structure, which is different from us. Wood to the Chinese respectes life, and “life” is the main thing in Chinese culture. This feature has been preserved up to the present. Builders would apply a lacquer to the wood to preserve it. These lacquers were made in bold colors, and this became one of the key ways to identify Chinese architecture. The highly varied color found on a traditi ....

The Bicycle: From Wood To Metal.
1476 Words - 6 Pages

.... times a walking pace, this is why they are such a popular alternative to other forms of transport, especially in large congested cities. Aims:- I aim to discuss the change of materials used to construct bicycles, and why the change came about, starting with the first machines to modern day super-light- weight machines. Most written sources agree that the first bicycle was introduced around 1817 by a man called Von Drais. This wooden two-wheeled vehicle that weighed some 45kg (100 lbs). It comprised of a wooden beam structure, straddled by the rider, with a fixed wooden rear wheel and a steerable wheel in front, controlled over a tiller mechanism. It was propelled by pushing ....
