Trends for the past two years have shown that there is an increasing interest in specialty lagers. Based on this principle alone, it would be a solid choice to open a gastro-pub that features specialty lagers almost exclusively. Food should be offered with lagers (and really any beer) to show how the chosen beer and food can compliment each other. It is probably best to stay away from becoming a micro-brew, especially without very large investors, because many types of lagers, Eisbock and California Commons for example, need expensive equipment outside of the already expensive equipment for a micro-brew ...

Besides, organized crime has more possibilities to diversify their activities. While conventional criminals specialize in one type of crime, criminal organizations can be engaged in different types because their members have more power ...

An Examination of Style and Performance

Introduction Joseph Haydn may be the most underrated of all the great composers, especially when it comes to his piano music. Music students in every field, remain taught that Haydn is the “father of the Symphony.” It is this fact that keeps the student from seeking out, discovering, and delighting in his brilliant, often difficult, but worth the challenge of playing Haydn’s late keyboard compositions.

There exist numerous defenses to criminal charges. The defenses are usually used by the persons facing particular charges in a bit to negate the requisites of a crime, especially the aspect of intent.

As such, the burden of proof lies on the government to prove that a crime was committed and that the accused person committed the alleged crime. The prosecution side, which represents the government in a criminal trial, must convince the judge ...

When Constantine the Great established the city of Constantinople in 330 A.D., he re-constituted the old Roman order along a new East/West axis. Henceforth, the beleaguered empire would be administered from two capitals, but few could foresee that this arrangement would create a religious and political schism that would make rivals of the two great cities. Gradually, the Byzantines eclipsed Rome by virtue of Constantinople’s mighty walls and the city’s ...
