...Technology has appeared throughout every part of history. It may not be electronics like we are used to, but it is an important part contributing to where our society is today. Without humans, technology simply could not last. Although, there is technology that is still existent in our world from ancient civilizations. www.chinaculture.org states, “...the wheelbarrow may have been invented during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD).” Even though this proves the point that technology can last for thousands of years, it will not be able to last once there is no sign of humanity left on this planet. Technology can lead to problems that it can not fix or recognize by itself. In the story August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains, Bradbury describes a house that is completely run by robots, no humans whatsoever. The text states, “Out of warrens in the walls, tiny robot mice darted. The rooms were acrawl with the small cleaning animals, all rubber and metal...”(Page 1) These electronic mice clean the house for the non-existent people that they think live there. This house operates with the purpose to fulfill the needs of an everyday family, but no family actually lives there....

Coca-Cola had two ingredients cola from the cola nut, and extract of coca leaf which is also the source of cocaine (Abbette, 2012). Among the biggest challenges for Coca-Cola has been the bottling of its product (Coca Cola Company, 2013). The bottlers agreed that a distinctive beverage needed a standard and a distinctive bottle (Coca Cola Company, 2013). In 1916, the bottlers approved the unique bottle. The new Coca-Cola bottle was so different it could be recognized in the dark and it set itself apart from competitors. The 1980’s featured memorable slogans such as “Coke is It!”, “Catch the Wave” and “Can’t Beat the Feeling”. In 1993, during the technology boom Coca-Cola experimented with computer animation and the popular “Always Coca-Cola” campaign was commenced (Coca Cola Company, 2013).

...Analysis of Dance Styles ARTS/100 Professor Analysis of Dance Styles For centuries peoples have been dancing as an art form that allows them to physically express themselves without using words. These are times when simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words (Humphrey, 1937). A great deal can be understood when a person watches a person dances. The message that is related is strong and clear. When you understand the types of dance the message is clear. I will attempt to examine the different forms of dance. We will look at the forms of dance like Ballet, Modern World/Ritual, Folk, and jazz. Never the less it helps construct a better understanding of the different forms. Ballet During the 15th century in Italy ballet was known as court dancing. The word “Ballet” comes from the Italian form of Ballare which means dance. The first dance was in France in 1581. The French created the first ballet called “La Ballet Domique de La Reine” This caught on fast which prompted Louise Xiv to start the Royal Academy of Dance in 1661. Ballet caught on quick and spread from country to country when the story line and rhythm is expressed it uses eight basic positions to do this. Swiveling on their toes and balancing is critical to perform these dances. Over the ages these have been two great Ballets that are performed across the country and they are in high demand. They are the “Nutcracker and Swan Lake”. Modern Dance The 20th century...

...Coca Cola Report Introduction Coca- Cola is one of the very well known brands operating in FMCG sector. The drink which has quenched the thirst of so many people around the globe was invented by John Pemberton a pharmacist by profession and most commonly called as “Doc”. He was assisted by Frank Robinson in the marketing of the product. The company was totally in mess until Asa Griggs Candler took over the business in 1891. Secret of Coca Cola’s success is the innovative marketing strategies of Grigg which laid the foundation for the success the company is enjoying today. Initially the drink was sold as a medicine for the treatment of fatigue and headaches. Later, with the imposition of tax in 1898 on all medicines, Grigg categorized it into beverage sector after a prolonged court battle. Ever since then, Coca-Cola is operating as one of the well known brands in beverage industry. In 1919 Candler was chosen as mayor of Atlanta which made him excessively busy because of this he decided to sale out the ownership of the company and Ernest Woodruff became the new owner in September 12, 1919. He changed the formula of the drink and labeled it as New Coke. Unfortunately, the drink was rejected by the consumers and with no option left Woodruff had to introduce the old Classic Coke back for meeting customer demands. According to Business Insiders Coca Cola is a brand with which 94% of the world’s population is familiar. The company has marked its presence in more than 200 countries...

...but the remainder of it will result in great gains that would define and make us until forever. Some other people think that pain only happens to those bad ones, but in reality, it happens to every person who wants to make and step up into something difference and better in living. We must come to think that nothing is going to give and provide itself for us- we must have to exert much effort and work for it. And if that means going through some pain, it doesn't really matters most, for if you work hard enough, you'll definitely get the best gain out of it. God hasn't given us the life to feel of always in gain sensation, but to learn about gain and respect to pain with accompanied life tests. Greatness and glory do not fall down like soft gentle rain from heaven. Great deeds are rewards of endless and infinite labor in life. The statement “No sweat, no glory” is closely similar from the first statement I've mentioned above. According to an unfamiliar author from the book I've read, “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through the horror. I can take the next things that come along. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” Greatness thrives only on sweat,...
