American muscle meets Italian beauty: an all-time-great combination. Ford wanted a mid-engined sports car to sell in its Mercury showrooms and the De Tomaso Pantera was the result of a partnership between Henry Ford and Alejandro de Tomaso, an Argentinian small-time producer of exotic sports and racing cars. Ford engineers took a look at the Mangusta, De Tomaso’s previous offering, and thought its backbone chassis was too weak. So Detroit-born car designer Tom Tjaarda, who had just started…

He married the steel-string guitar with a body constructed more like a cello, where the bridge exerts no torque on the top, only pressure straight down. This allows the top to vibrate more freely, and thus produce more volume. In the early 1920's designer Lloyd Loar joined Gibson, and refined the archtop "jazz" guitar into its now familiar form with f-holes…

For centuries, the epic poem “Beowulf” has served a multitude of purposes for historians trying to forge an accurate image of early Anglo-Saxon society. Due to the apparent shortage of credible primary sources pertaining to the time in question, it becomes ever more clear why this sole thread of Anglo-Saxon literature is so heavily investigated by those in the field. As it pertains to this essay, the epic poem will be used to shed light on the prevalent gender roles exinsistant within…

As the world becomes ever more populated reaching record-breaking statistics regarding pollution, car companies have begun finding solutions for such dire circumstances. The automobile industry has created its own pop culture with many different subcultures influenced by different societal groups. This creates a vast difference between how countries create their cars. As a whole, Asia has developed a completely different car culture than we see in the United States. Asian cars break down into…

and 265 Nm and requires only 7.9 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h. It is fitted with seven-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive (4WD). Those looking for savings can get a 1.0-T-GDI three-cylinder variant with 120 PS and 188 Nm torque, six-speed manual transmission and front wheel drive…

a motor company founded in 2003 in Silicon Valley by a group of engineers (Tesla, 2015: Burns, 2014). Their main aim was to prove that electric cars could do better than local gasoline powered automobiles. Their products would be cars with instant torque, incredible power, and zero emissions, with each new generation becoming more affordable than their competitors'. Tesla launched its first car in 2012, the model that was the first electric Sedan (Tesla, 2015). It was a four-door car with a…

Yukio Mishima starts with his birth and family backgrounds in this article, and grab readers into his five-year-old inward world.

This is the core element of Mishima’s childhood, and this also explains why his inside world was so strange compared to other children. A boy lives and plays only with girls and women, will he confused about his sexual preference…

One major increase is the, due to the very quick torque generation provided by electric motors, electric vehicles can achieve very fast accelerations, with some cars being competitive with traditional sports cars (Sadek). Electric vehicles also have drastically reduced noise generation compared to gasoline…

The necessity of driving is generally taken for granted in America. We do it every day, as we have for many generations. The technology used in transportation has steadily improved, from horses and buggies to the modern car. Therefore, it is logical that fewer and fewer people would have the skills needed to operate older, ‘outdated’ models. This includes stickshifts. Very few Americans have the ability to drive a manual transmission. It is not terribly difficult to learn, and the benefits are…

Literature Review Introduction In 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability and the fifth leading cause of death for Americans (“Stroke Facts,” 2015). Despite this degree of prevalence, stroke mortality rates in the United States (U.S.) are among the lowest in the world. Between 1960 and 1990 there has been a 60% decline in stroke mortality (Sacco et al., 1997). In 2008 alone, The Centers for Disease Control and…
