...Angio-Specialist at the Spearmens. Ali, even though, coming from a rural background, has a passion for electronics, and the passion has driven him through different uneven circumstances, but his career at Spearmens is distinguishing. The current offer of the Service in charge at Islamabad office takes him into the managerial ranks, but on the other hand he has other considerations to make. The first one is the family status. Ali’s wife teaches at a university of Lahore and Ali has always encouraged her to pursue her goals. She has devoted considerable energy to her career in teaching. While all this time she has been staying at her parents’ home, she has been urging Ali to have their own home in Lahore. Ali, on the other hand is considered as a Super Engineer at the company, and has been extensively traveling. The company’s environment is yet another consideration which Ali has to make i.e. over the years he has been given several engineering assignment but no managerial assignment, so, if he accepts this offer, he...

All of the other students were simply throwing their books and doing Lord knows what with their guided reading books when they got the books handed to them .

...Fear and Loathing at the Super Bowl, 1973, PG 607 This article was written by Hunter S. Thompson in January of 1973 about this event that took place in Houston, Texas. Hyatt Regency Hotel is where Thompson stayed. Unlike some other bard, Hyatt Regency’s bar closed at 2a.m. Drunks, hookers, gamblers, and more crowded together in the lobby. He hadn’t planned to be there at all. He doesn’t know what made him want to preach a sermon from the Book of Revelations on Super Sunday. For thirty minutes, he spent his time saying how criminals should be thrown into the lake of fire. The people didn’t have much of a reaction, except for sleepiness and boredom. While sitting alone, he felt something heavy going up his back. His first thought was a huge leech. He felt it was a sign to deliver the sermon and to write his lead for the Super Bowl story before anything happened to him. In online research, I found that Hunter S. Thompson started his journalism career after he served for the air force. He was a very good known writer and he covered more ground in four paragraphs then most writers could in many books and he penned what many people call “Gonzo Journalism.” Thompson had some health problems and at the age of 67 he committed suicide. Honestly, I only understood some of the article. Thompson must have been a great writer. When I was looking up information on Thompson, I was hoping to find out more about him talking about the sermon, but I couldn’t find anything. If someone was preaching...

..." Abelardo Morell – A Book of Books A visual tribute to the printed word, this ode to books will be irresistible to anyone who treasures the touch of fine paper and the special allure of a clothbound volume. A Book of Books showcases Abelardo Morell's elegant black and-white photographs of unusual books - an impossibly large dictionary, illustrated volumes whose characters appear to leap off the page, and water-damaged books that take on sculptural form. Nicholson Baker has written extensively about books and libraries. His preface is the ideal complement to Morell's photographs in this beautifully produced book lover's book. Bookish quotations from literary sources including Hawthorne, Borges, Cocteau, and others accompany the photographs throughout.

..."Simcheongga".[note 1] During the Japanese rule (1910–1945) popularity of changga songs rose as Koreans tried to express their feelings against Japanese oppression through music. One of the most popular songs was "Huimangga" (희망가, The Song of Hope). The Japanese confiscated the existing changga collections and published lyrics books of their own.[41][third-party source needed] The first known Korean pop album was "Yi Pungjin Sewol" (This Tumultuous Time) by Park Chae-seon and Lee Ryu-saek from 1925 and contained popular songs translated from Japanese. The first pop song written by a Korean composer is thought to be "Nakhwayusu" (낙화유수, Fallen Blossoms on Running Water) sung by Lee Jeong-suk in 1929.[41] In the mid-1920s, Japanese composer Masao Koga mixed traditional Korean music with Gospel music that American Evangelists introduced in the 1870s. This type of music became known as Enka in Japan, and later in Korea as Trot (Korean: "트로트").[42][43] These songs became extremely popular.[41][third-party source needed] Later, in the 21st century K-pop singers rediscovered the genre of trot, for example singers like Daesung from Big Bang and several members of Super Junior produced trot...

...Who do you think the best coaches in the National Football League history are? I will give you an idea. One was around for the very first Super Bowl and had a trophy named after him. The other is a gentleman and, some say, good, old western guy. Any ideas yet? Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry are two of the best in the history of the NFL because of everything they accomplished as coaches. Lombardi and Landry know everything there is to know about the game of football. Lombardi has always been known for his dedication to coaching by friends and family. He was known for saying "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up” (Vince Lombardi). I believe this shows his dedication because he knows it does not matter how hard you fall in life, as long as you pick yourself up and keep trying it is all worth it. When he was in high school, he studied to be a priest before transferring to St. Francis High School, where he became a star fullback. He received a scholarship to Fordham University in 1933. There he studied law but in his heart he always wanted to coach football. His first coaching job was at ST. Cecilla High School in 1939, where he coached basketball, football, and baseball; he had championship seasons with all of them. He later left there and became an assistant coach at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He told all of his teams: “winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing” (Norwood). This means, if you do not win, no one will remember...

...millions of customers? First, there are some basics to which online firms must attend. These cost little more than some time and a little creativity. The first is creating a good site name. The name should be memorable (yahoo.com), easy to spell (ebay.com), and/or descriptive (wine.com—a wine retailer). And, yes, ideally it will have a .com extension. This is the most popular extension for e-commerce, and browsers, as a default, will automatically add a .com onto any address that is typed without extension. The second priority is to make sure the site comes up near the top of the list on any Web searches. If you use Lycos.com to perform a search for “used books,” you get a list of more than 2.6 million websites. Studies have shown that most people will look only at the top 30 sites on the list, at most. If you are a used-book retailer and you show up as website #1,865,404 on the search list, there is a very good chance you will not attract a lot of business. A 1999 Jupiter Research study reveals that “searching on the Internet” is the most important activity, and Internet users find the information they are looking for by using search engines and Web directories. A good Web designer can write code that matches up well with search engine algorithms and results in a site that ranks high on search lists. Virtually all popular websites have those basics down pat. So the third step is...

...arguably one of the best quarterbacks to ever walk this planet, winning four Super Bowl’s as a starting quarterback with the New England Patriots. Brady’s reign on the Patriots might be over, due to his involvement in the Deflategate scandal that took place in the 2015 AFC championship against the Colts. The scandal is controversial because Tom Brady was not punished for these actions until the 2016 season (one and a half years later). The owner of the Patriots was upset with the NFL because Tom Brady had been cleared...
