We've always done it that way. Does the statement, “We’ve always done it that way” ring any bells? The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet 8.5 inches, which is an odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that’s the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US Railroads. The English built them like that because the first rail lines were made by the same people who created the pre-railroad tramways, and that’s the gauge they used. But then why did “they” use that gauge then? Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? If they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that’s the spacing of the wheel ruts. The surprising answer is that Imperial Rome constructed the first long distance roads in Europe (and England) for their legions and those roads have been used ever since. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.

Five Documentaries You NEED To Watch On Netflix As Of 11/13/13 Documentaries offer you something very few fictional films can. You walk away from them smarter than you were when you showed up. That is how documentaries work. They often find a single subject, and focus their energy on informing those who don’t seem to know enough about it. While it is oft misunderstood that horror films are my favorite, they are a close second, but documentaries take the cake for me. If you went through my Netflix account right now, you would see that I have given five-star ratings to documentaries far more than any genre of film on there. Did you know punk was actually and unofficially started in 1974 by a three young black guys out of Detroit who formed a band named Death? Not only did this open my eyes to how we stereotype cultures based on music, but it introduced me to a band whose music I have had a slight obsession with ever since. I will give you this disclaimer right now. Yet NOTHING ever stopped him. That is the point of this film. Bahhhhh.

How do you create a product people want to buy? « Unicornfree with Amy Hoy: Creating And Selling Your Own Products Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Have you ever found yourself mired in this process? Come up with idea!Build idea! Over the years, I’ve watched countless friends & acquaintances get stuck in this process. If you do make it to Step 6, though, you come face to face with the high probability of Hidden Step 7: Give Up, wherein you struggle to find a repeatable source of sales… and can’t. Lots of strategies have come out to “fix” this process. Get you past Step 3: Ship The Damn Thing more often, faster (“Lean”)Hopefully carry you from Step 6: Flail to actual sales, instead of the nearly inevitable Step 7: Give Up (“Customer Development”) Oofta. The real trick is to bypass this process entirely Because the original “process” (such as it is, formed of unconscious wishes and unicorn spit) is not valid.

History's Greatest Replies: drmardy.com Any attempt to compile history's greatest replies—or history's greatest anything, for that matter—is fraught with difficulty, so it might be more accurate to refer to the replies that follow as simply my all-time favorites. Most of them come from people whose names will be very familiar to you, and I think you will agree that the comebacks and retorts here are very special. All of them—along with many, many hundreds more—appear in my Viva la Repartee book.

My Resignation My Resignation I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day. I want to return to a time when life was simple; when all you knew were colours, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset. I want to think the world is fair; that everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to live simple again. ......" You are visitor #

Parts-of-the-body language Techniques > Using Body Language > Parts-of-the-body language You can send signals with individual parts of the body as well as in concert. Here's details of the contributions of each part of the body. Head We look a lot at the other person's head, which is used to send many signals to us. Arms We often talk with our arms, windmilling as we describe with arms and hands what we are saying. Torso The torso, though often ignored, contains the main mass of the body and can give important signals. Legs The legs often betray body language when the person is trying to control their body (and often forget the lower half). See also Using Body Language
