Sikhism, A View of the Sikh Religion - At the northwestern tip of India is located The Golden Temple, or Harimandir Sahib, the most significant historical center on earth to the 20 million Sikhs worldwide. Here people from all walks of life are invited to join in listening to the hymns and teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib and to join in unity for a communal meal (Langar). Chichen Itza Chosen as One of the New Seven Wonders of the World - The Mayan city of Chichen Itza, located in the Mexican state of Yucatan, was chosen as one of the "Seven New Wonders of the World" by approximately 100 million people around the globe, who cast their ballots by phone and Internet. Mel Gibson's 'Apocalypto' Brings the Past Violent Mayan Life into Our Consciousness - Apocalypto - 4 Stars (Excellent) Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" shows the raw, violent face of the advanced Mayan civilization in its decline, with its rulers insisting that the key to continued prosperity is to build more temples and offer more human sacrifices to their Gods. The result is the story of innocent Mayans being viciously attacked and their communal way of life being destroyed to meet an insane desire. French Presidential Election: Nicolas Sarkozy's Position on European Matters - The French presidential election drew a lot of ink this year not only in France but also abroad. The international press portrayed Mr. SARKOZY as being "the actor of a renewal for France, the carrier of changes which would not be without consequence for Europe and the rest of the World". Even if the new French president was warmly congratulated by his European peers, they are still expectant of him on important matters such as the European constitution, Turkey's European membership, the energy policy, etc... The European constitution After France's and the Nederland's rejection of the Constitution two years ago, the European Union Member states want to address the agenda and sign a new text by June 2009 at the latest. The Truth About Hydroponics - Hydroponics is one of those subjects that few know much if anything about, is rife with misinformation and a minefield of useless products. Water temperature - Your nutrient solution should feel COLD at 21oC NOT WARM. 21 degrees centigrade is the ideal temperature, it's warm enough to stimulate good growth while cold enough to be able to carry the maximum amount of oxygen (O2) for our purposes. As the water rises above this temperature the water can carry less and less oxygen. Egyptians Believed in Magical Powers in Daily Life and the Afterlife - One of the most interesting and collectable artifacts from ancient Egypt is the usabti, the magical statue found in tombs. Magic played an important role in the daily life of the ancient Egyptians. The Culture Of Pearls - Although we know that the most genuine pearls are the natural pearls, yet we also know that they are very difficult to find. As a result they are also exorbitantly priced. It was thus not possible to meet the expanding demands for pearls in the market. Hence pearls began to be cultured and new and innovative ways were developed to produce harvests of a variety of pearls of different shapes sizes and colors. Different species of oysters and mussels were tested to get pearls of different colors and shapes and good luster. Over a period of time, we find that almost the entire market of pearls is flooded with cultured pearls. A great irony in the history of pearls is that the least expensive cultured pearl product in the market today rivals the quality of the most expensive natural pearls ever found. Creating a Culture of Innovation - Whenever a company comes out with a new product/service or improvements to an existing one, invariably someone internally will ask for a "checklist" to tell them exactly what they are supposed to do relative to their job function. It is times like these that one may feel like saying "figure it out yourself". The Third Pearl Wave in China - Now China is in what we can call its Third Pearl Wave. Starting in the 1990s, China surprised the market with products that are revolutionizing pearling. The shapes, luster, and colors of the new Chinese production often match original Biwa quality and sometime even surpass it; certainly the new orange and peach-colored pearls are unique. As testimony to China's achievement, their freshwater pearls are round enough and good enough to pass as Japanese akoya. China already sells round white pearls up to 7mm for perhaps a tenth the price of Japanese cultured saltwater pearls. Bleaching, dying, and polishing is usually done. Except for the old Arabic practice of sun-bleaching in the Persian Gulf, naturals were practically never processed. Pear Necklaces - Although we find variety of jewelry items made from pearls, the most popular are perhaps the pearl necklaces. Depending on their lengths and designs they have been given unique names. Mostly, we find that length is the only consideration when we refer to necklaces but in the case of pearls it is not so. Pearl necklaces are not defined merely by their physical measurement; rather strings of pearls have their own set of names that characterize the pearls based on where they hang when worn around the neck. A Brief History of the Mayan Culture - The Mayan civilization was the height of pre-Columbian culture. They made significant discoveries in science, including the use of the zero in mathematics. Their writing was the only in America capable of expressing all types of thought. Cut From The Same Cloth - A Brief History Of The T-shirt - T-shirts are a proven way to make a provocative statement - but which are the most iconic - and what do they say about the humble wearer? It's not often that a whole new piece of clothing appears, which is what happened with the t-shirt 40 years ago. When James Dean and Marlon Brando sported T-shirts as outerwear, it was a faux par and seen as bad as wearing underpants over trousers. I Am America - The great beauty of a once-proud nation remains in its people and in the roots of its character. It also remains in its sense of idealism. For no matter how far current policy and practice have strayed from the attributes that were part of her founding vision, no matter how much America has ceased being a universal hope for all people, and no matter how far she has departed from her moral center, she remains, in the end, a nation built on the ideals that gave her birth. 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. It is difficult to fathom for most of us used to the comforts of the modern world that such a reclusive society could even exist in the first place. A bigger surprise awaits you when you realize this society is flourishing in major parts of America and Canada, both known for their advanced levels of development and human comforts. The Psychology Of Leadership - Understanding The Influence Of Inspirational Leaders (part 2) - THE 8 ASCENTS OF THE ULTIMATE LEADER (Continued from Part I) are the Psychological foundations of what makes a great Leader, they are... 1. Master Your Rules of Engagement - In War, "Rules of Engagement" are what you do when you engage the enemy. 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. 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. 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. The streets of the New York City are always flooded with people with dreams to make big and in return the city offers them everything which they come here for. 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. 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.
