The dynamics and particularities of the international political scene fascinate me. It is with great interest that I follow the socio-political concepts integrated in the speeches or strategies of politicians or in the pleads and defenses of the lawyers. ...

Preparation is the key to building the necessary confidence for speechmaking. While most people fear public speaking, if you are prepared, you will feel much better about getting up in front of an audience. Get a sense of what you look like, but not in a mirror – it won’t give you a realistic sense of what you are like as a speaker; instead, film yourself, and go before smaller groups of people and use their opinions to help you improve.

Working in teams can be highly effective, because they allow people with different skill sets to combine their strengths and counteract ...

William Wordsworth’s famous lyrical ballad “The Solitary Reaper” tells a story from Wordsworth’s wanderings through the Scottish Highlands (Poetryfoundation.org). As Wordsworth and his companions wander the countryside, they come across a young Scottish maiden singing to herself in a field as she cuts the grain that she sowed earlier in the season. Wordsworth seems transfixed by the beauty of her song, and he stops to listen to her sing in the field; although the initial reaction of the speaker is to the beauty of the voice and song of the young woman, the speaker—ostensibly Wordsworth himself, although this is ...

Storage of groundwater, one of the main sources of water worldwide, in the major aquifers appear to be measured not enough precisely. A set of two studies found that methods used up till now for evaluating the total storage of groundwater in world’s largest basins do not possess sufficient precision and are too rough and uncertain for future use. One of the researches, carried by Jay Famiglietti and his fellow researchers, used NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites to measure the gravitational pull of water masses.

Cultural practices differentiate one society from another. Since culture is “the set of learned behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, values, and ideals that are characteristic of a particular society or population” (Ember et al. 217), a cultural tradition would speak volumes about that society. A festival, in particular, is a rich representation of particular culture. The Annual Tournament of Roses Parade at Pasadena, California is an appropriate example of such festival. This event has just turned 125 years old and it reflects the beliefs, attitudes and values of the residents, not only in Pasadena, but also in the State of California.

With that in mind, more and more organizations started to realize the role of human capital as a core strategic asset and resource of the organizations. This realization brought into ...

This research paper examines the evidence that supports a continuance of the existing federal ban on the recreational use of marijuana.

The independent and highly influential International Narcotics Control ...
