A Bigger Bang

This is another story about Jack when he went out traveling about looking for some work. He was walking down this road, whistling and whittling on an old branch he’d found. He’d carved that branch into a big paddle thinking he might find someone to trade it to for a bite of lunch later on. Jack was just putting some finishing touches on that paddle, when he saw a great big peach tree on the side of the road. Jack was especially fond of peaches, so he walked over to see if there was a nice…

I take the car and into Colorado Springs, hoping someone there can explain all of this to me. However, as I get to the city centre, there is no one around. Slowly I make my way through every street in Colorado Springs, either by foot or car. Doors have been left open; car’s still running, and pets left to fend for themselves. Again there are no humans in sight. Something has gone wrong, very horribly wrong. Could it be because I travelled in time? Have we upset the space-time continuum that much…

When it comes to taking a leathering from you, I equally know that I'm being leathered by the hardest leathering man on the planet, who can deliver monumental levels of pain, as he leathers my backside properly. I don't have these thoughts in the same position (I used to have them when I was a lad), nowadays I am supremely confident that I can take it because no man is hard enough to tan my backside at such a level that I will not be hard enough a man to take whatever he lays on with his belt.…

With the continuing growth and evolution of global markets the increasing popularity of international joint ventures should not be a surprise to anyone. About three quarters of the joint ventures are international (Vaughn, J).

Companies who want to find partners to ultimately…

debate between parties having power” (“politics”). Our society came into existence when small and mobile groups of hunter-gatherers of the Neolithic age changed their lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement, forming bigger groups of non-nomadic population. Densely populated settlements required centralized administrations and political structures to look into the governance of the area and thus power-politics came into existence. The ones to first become…

He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said. From time to time Winston caught some such remark as 'I think you're so right, I do so agree with you', uttered in a youthful and rather silly feminine voice.…

Neither Dale Carnegie nor the publishers, Simon and Schuster, anticipated more than this modest sale. To their amazement, the book became an overnight sensation, and edition after edition rolled off the presses to keep up with the increasing public demand. Now to Win Friends and InfEuence People took its place in publishing history as one of the all-time international best-sellers. It touched a nerve and filled a human need that was more than a faddish phenomenon of post-Depression days, as…
