  • Roman Antiquities, Roman Glass Beads and Intaglios - In the 2nd millennium BC, the Romans emerged from a small settlement near Rome to begin a course of expansion that was to make them the dominant power in the Mediterranean. By the 1st Century AD, Roman territories expanded from Britain in the north to Egypt in the south. Much of the Roman culture and crafts reflected the preceding Hellenistic period, however, their extensive trade network provided them with a great variety of materials.
  • Coffee And Espresso - All About The Coffee Delight - Coffee is one of the most popular drinks around, followed by soft drinks and tea. Just think about it: when you wake up in the morning, just to get you up and running, you have a cup of coffee. At lunch break, after you've had your meal, you serve another cup of coffee, not to mention the other ones you already had back at the office while working, without even realizing it. When you ask someone out, the most chances are that you ask him or her out for a coffee. But what is coffee all about?
  • Some People Will Eat Anything - WARNING: This week's column contains news so scary, so utterly horrific, that I, the author of said column, hereby declare that I will not be held responsible for the mental anguish or irreparable emotional damage caused by reading it.

  • How to Access the Power of Trust and Respect in the Workplace - People naturally include trust and respect in their list of important values.

Often unnoticed in an organisation's growth is a tendency towards bureaucracy.
  • History of Cultured Freshwater Pearls from Japan - The first cultured freshwater pearls originated in Japan. Although the Chinese were the first to culture a product from freshwater mussels, these were not pearls. Their centuries-old Buddhas are not true pearls but shell mabes. Quite soon after their initial success with cultured saltwater pearls, pearls producers in Japan experimented with fresh water mussels and produced beautiful pearls. Japanese pearl farmers experimented with freshwater mussels in Lake Biwa, a large lake near Kyoto. Initial commercial freshwater pearl crops appeared in the 1930s. The all-nacre Biwa pearls formed in colors unseen in saltwater pearls. Almost instantly appealing, their luster and luminescent depth rivaled naturals because they, too, were pearls throughout. During the World War II there was a slump in the production of Biwa pearls, resulting in an interruption in the flow of Lake Biwa pearls. But by the 1950s markets were again flooded with them.
  • How the Ancient Roman Empire still influences our lives today - The Roman Empire, at its height, included about a fourth of Europe, much of the Middle East, and the entire northern coastal area of Africa.

  • Cutting Propagation for Bonsai - There are lots of methods to take cuttings for bonsai, this is the one that I have had the most success with. Equipment For cuttings: I use a 100 watt Metal Halide Light source, I have also had equal success with fluorescents. For bottom heat I am using a Hydrofarm heat mat with thermostat. The thermostat will be set at 75 degrees, which is especially useful for Japanese Maples. Pots and Soil: For the container I will be using a 1/2 size flat with a 36 cell pack.
  • A Culture of Discipline - A "culture of discipline" is a phrase used by Jim Collins (Good to Great) in his study of great companies. All of the great companies, those that far outperform others, have a culture of discipline.
  • Celebrity Fascination and the Modern State of American Culture - Celebrities are people too, or so we've been told. Whether or not it's true, Americans love to think of them as something more than just people. We are fascinated by them.
  • A New Music of the Orient: A Touch of the West and a Dash of the Divine - A new musical fusion has arisen in New York and it's not the kind you can catch for ten dollars at a club in the West Village. For the many thousands of Chinese immigrants trying to stay afloat in a new world and for those westerners who have always wanted to understand the Chinese but have shied away for lack of a way in--for anyone who has wondered where the two civilizations connect, the answer may lie not in words, but in music.
  • Chinese New Year Show Opens Window on Asian Subtlety - Asian-themed performances like NTDTV's Chinese New Year Spectacular offer an entirely new experience for many Westerners, partly because they are so different from the more typical, narrative-driven, performing art forms. They ask something different from the audience - a slight shift in expectations, a shift in sensibility.
  • West and Its Influence on the Rest - What is the West? Who are parts of the West? Or who defines the West? There have been endless questions on the western world and its various aspects. Practically speaking, the word 'West' does not hold an international definition; it is a social, cultural and political concept passed down through ages to its present day connotation. Ordinarily speaking, the Western world comprises the cultures and values of the people, who are direct descendants of the European culture. Europe, North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, etc. are some cultures which constitute the West. There is a common thread running between all of them-they have common history, religion, values, beliefs and other traditions. And the whole of the West, taken together, with all its prosperity and failings, have cast a deep influence on other cultures worldwide. The diverse aspects of the West have gradually seeped into other cultures with time.
  • Do You Want Fries With That Management Style? - I've written many times about my vast experience in the fast food industry, not as a worker, but as an often mistreated customer. Each story typically involved bad food, apathetic employees, horrible customer service, and a vow never to return. That vow usually ended up in the dumpster when my craving for a chicken burrito got the better of my logic and principles. This time I'm talking about fast food for a different reason. There are lessons to be learned from those who toil behind the counters of America's fast food joints.
