Who is That Riding a Cart on The Highway? - One look at the horse-driven cart trudging along the superhighway, and you are sure to wonder what it is doing amongst the fast moving cars and trucks of the day. Look closer, and you are likely to find a young bearded man in a straw hat and suspenders merrily plodding along, unmindful of the surprised glances he is attracting. The living style of the Amish people has never ceased to draw a sense of awe from the people who encounter them.

Imus is Sunk - Hip Hop Sails Away Unscathed - Among the fairest and most balanced offerings on the Imus incident hails from journalist Ellis Cose in Newsweek for the week of April 23, 2007 in an article entitled "What Will We Learn." Another offering well worth the read is "Imus' Safety Net Failed" penned by the World Net Daily columnist Barbara Simpson, April 16, 2007. TV interviews are too numerous to cite even though not much variation is offered. It seems like a replay of the same interview and it goes like this. Imus had a right to say what he wants, networks and corporate supporters have the right to bounce him and why doesn't somebody call Rap and Hip Hop out on the carpet. Naturally when a race card pops up Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are sure to pop up as well. Faith and Culture Combine - Stroll into the small farming community of Shipshewana, Indiana and be surrounded by a culture rarely found anywhere. The town of around 536 people hosts about 500,000 visitors each year. What is the big attraction? This area of Northern Indiana is home to many of the Amish faith. Tourism has been encouraged by residents of Shipshewana, attracting people come from far and wide to experience the simple, beautiful life led by the Amish. The basis for the Amish religion is found in the Bible. Matthew 6 warns individuals from placing their hearts on riches. Amish make conscious choices to live simply, and not get caught up in material things. Buying The Right Gold Jewelry - The process involved with purchasing jewelry can be at the same time fun and confusing. You can purchase jewelry either for someone you love or for yourself. The decision you make may turn out to be a tough one. Because gold jewelry represents something you will cherish for a very long time or maybe your whole life, you should allocate as much time as possible so the choice you make will be a wise one. There are some things you should consider in before you go for the purchase. The first thing you should keep in mind is the source of the jewelry. Bargains are at hand. But always remember that you get what you pay for. Budget Hotels in New York - Welcome to the city of dreams. The city of living dreams, the New York City. The New York City is vivid with the life and people from across all continents which make this the greatest cosmopolitan city in the world. Not only it offers a substantial lifestyle but it is also a great center of economic and business activities. Video Games Influence on Culture - We now finally live in a world where stuff from the 80's is actually considered "cool". How did this happen? I remember being a kid and obsessing over the next trip to the local arcade, just to give pac-man another go. It is absolutely amazing to see how video games are now a part of our culture. They aren't just for kiddies anymore folks! You see, as we grew up, so did the video games... These teens are now adults looking back with a hint of nostalgia at their youth, despite the fact that it was only 15-20 years ago. 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. Artisans often combined styles and materials creating their own unique designs. While personal adornment was frowned upon by the early Romans, their attitude of austerity had diminished by the 1st Century BC and a rich variety of jewelry abounded. 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? Where does it come from and how did it become so popular? 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. In fact, I didn't even write this column. I bought it off some guy I met in the parking lot at Captain D's. How to Access the Power of Trust and Respect in the Workplace - People naturally include trust and respect in their list of important values. Yet so often, at all levels, people complain that they are missing. How to Bust Bureaucracy - "Bureaucracy - any administration where action is impeded by unnecessary procedures" - Collins Concise English Dictionary In your own organisation, do you ever think "Why are we doing this?" or "Why aren't things moving as planned or desired? Do you notice people becoming more difficult to deal with? Do you sense a rising level of frustration? Has your workplace lost its shine? 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. 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. Its millions of people spoke many languages and worshipped different gods, but they were united by the military power and government of the Romans. The city of Rome grew from a farming village in central Italy to become the capital of the huge empire. The Roman Empire fell apart almost 1500 years ago, but it still influences our lives. More than 300 million persons speak languages directly related to Latin, the Roman tongue. Many words in English and in other languages come from Latin. Roman law provided the basis of the law of most European and Latin-American nations. 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. The soil will be an equal mix of peat and perlite. 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. The appreciation for what is implied rather than what is in plain sight sets Asian art apart from Western art. Traditional Chinese dance, for example, is less precise and strict in form than its Western counterpart, ballet. It is because it attempts to evoke a different sort of feeling. Like a glass of claret with its subtle undertones, this kind of dance leaves room for the imagination while leaving a lasting impression. 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. Lisa Li is a master of the pipa (Chinese lute) and a graduate of the Chinese Conservatory of China. She has composed and performed across Europe, Asia and the United States, and her playing was featured in the Academy Award-winning movie The Last Emperor. 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. Fascinated by the choices they make, the company they keep and whether or not they succeed or fail. We watch them on the way up and watch them even more closely on the way down. 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. This does not mean that they spend their time disciplining people. When you have a culture of discipline you rarely need to discipline people. 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.
