Happy birthday, Taurus! This one is near and dear to my heart, quite literally: my partner is a May 17 Taurus. :) I might add, probably one of the most Taurus-Tauruses I have ever known, to boot. Anyway- when you think of a bull, what do you think of? Strength, perseverance, stamina- you may envision a lumbering beast, grazing among the flowers. Until you get into the ring with a red flag, right? Suddenly, what seemed like such a mellow, slow animal becomes a terrifying beast! Taureans can be a lot like that. Eva Peron, Jessica Lange, another one of my #mancrushmonday fellas- John Oliver, Adele, Kimora Lee Simmons, Andre The Giant, Bea Arthur, Carol Burnett, David Beckham and Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols- all Tauruses. As you can see, that’s a pretty diverse group, right? You probably aren’t going to see John Oliver as being like Sid Vicious. That would be pretty amusing, but incredibly weird. That’s how Tauruses roll, though. As with other signs, how they express certain things is as diverse as they are. Seriously- John Oliver: https://youtu.be/JZEz8mytrM8 And well, this is Sid Vicious. [Insert photo] Bit different. Here’s the thing about Taurus natives, …show more content…
I don’t ever discount the fact that Taurus is one of those springtime signs at all, because it is awfully tempting to lay in bed on a cool morning with the windows open and just relax. It’s a good time to just generally, celebrate being alive and enjoy yourself. Taurus is also a sign that’s very nature-oriented, so being out and about in the cooler but not yet sweltering heat is also great. Of course, if you live somewhere else- it may be you’re moving into autumn here. But in Missouri, late Spring to Summer is brutal, but, early Spring- Taurus Time, so to speak, is usually pretty pleasant. Well, except for the tornados and flooding, but you know, beyond that…
Bull is what psychologists call an alpha male. Bull Meechem has a self-confidence problem he must constantly establish his dominance over his family. When Mary Anne tries to condone Bull on his loss instead of saying thank your or just ignoring her he tell her “ Get out of here before I start knocking every freckle off your face” This comment was obviously unnecessary and offend Mary Anne deeply. Another horrible side to Bull is his physical abuse to Lillian and the kids. Countless times Bull has struck either Lillian or the kids. Though Lillian denies it Ben reminds her and the reader that Bull has struck her in the past. “‘Your nose was bleeding and that’s how I ruined this T-shirt. I’ve kept it, Mama, because I wanted it as proof. This is your blood, Mama. Your blood’” “ ‘He never hit me’ Lillian insisted”. These tantrums by Bull only alienate his children and his wife from him but he can still obtain their utmost respect and discipline.
Have you ever thought or dreamt about making a living eight seconds at a time? Have you ever thought of crawling on a one ton bad bovine with horns the size of baseball bats? Have you ever thought about working all year at a sport you love so much and come away at the end with a million dollar check? If so, you are dreaming of being a world champion bull rider. World champion bull riders have to work out, eat right, drill, meditate, and love the sport.
The Phoenicians were a tranquil society that chose a lifestyle of peace and mutual wealth over war and conquest; a trait that was out of place in the violent and war-stricken ancient world, but undoubtedly lead to their ultimate success and prosperity. The Phoenicians were a unique and diverse culture that made many developments and advancements in the ancient world, particularly in the development of sea travel – creating ships that could travel farther and faster than any other ships of the time period – craftsmanship in the form of speciality dyes using advanced techniques as well as the creation of blown glass, and the advancements in the trade system by mainly exporting products that were created with an intended buyer in mind.

People inhabiting the Aleutian Islands, other Islands in Bering Sea, and parts of western Alaska were called Aleuts. Many Aleut men departed their homes for lands beyond the horizon. They began their journey on June 1, 1775, they all got on the St. Paul and returned to Siberia. Two Aleut men wanted to travel home instead of going to the Russia cities, but their determination to get to the land was at high. They traveled for months across mountains, through forests, and across icy fields. A treaty in 1727 ensured that trade go through Kyakhta or Tsurkhaitu first. Kyakhta had some houses from wealthy merchants. The Russians had valuable medicinal properties. In exchange, the Russian vessels visited the archipelago to gather furs. A year later,
The imagery associated with bulls and steers is confusing, since it is clearly supportive of bulls over steers. Bulls are associated with passion. Those who identify with bulls through their enthusiasm for bullfighting are called "aficionado" from the Spanish word for passion (131). Those who lack aficion are valueless while a true aficionado is a "buen hombre" (132). The bulls are "beautiful," muscular, aggressive and "dangerous" (139, 141). Because of their physical prowess and their sexual potency, bulls are capable of ascending to the heights of glory. They arouse passions in the crowds who gather to watch them run and fight. In sharp contrast, the steers are weak and emasculate. ...
Pit Bulls are not the aggressive breed that everybody makes them out to be. I can understand why there are some people who think that pit-bulls are just mean, but if you get past the looks, they are just big babies.

On July 2, 1962, the first Wal-Mart store opened in Arkansas, and over the next 50 years, Wal-Mart became a retail giant. Holding the title of the world’s largest employer, only comparable to the United States Department of Defense and Chinas Army, Wal-Mart employs over 2.1 million people. Sam Walton’s philosophy was low prices. Instead of offering good sales every once in a while, Walton offered an “always lower price” than competitors on things that ordinary people use every day. This philosophy continues to attract more than 140 million shoppers per week. This staggering amount of shoppers helped produce a revenue of $443billion for fiscal year 2012 alone (Matthews, 2012). With more than 6,000 stores in 14 countries, Wal-Mart produces remarkable revenue each year (Hesterly, 2010). With literally billions pouring into the company, one must assess how the money is controlled and if its accounted for by the best contemporary management techniques on the market. While Wal-Mart thrives on the use of benchmarketing and lean accounting, the Theory of Constraints paired with lean accounting could produce staggering results for Wal-Mart in terms of financial management.
There are really two different types of bulls; fast bulls, and strong bulls. Fast bulls are the hardest to ride. Typically, a bull can move much faster that a human making it difficult for the rider to keep up.

William Golding was born on September 19,1911 in St Columb Minor, England. His mom fought for equal rights for women and his dad was a school master. William Golding tried to write his first book when he was just twelve years old, but he failed. That did not stop him and went on to attend Oxford University and studied English literature. William Golding even published a book a year before he was to graduate, but of course was looked over by many critics. He became a teacher like his father, but then decided to join the Royal Navy and spent six years fighting in World War II. He went back to writing and teaching after World War II ended and nine years later he published his most famous piece of work, Lord of the Flies.
In chapter two, while innocently adventuring, Grendel traps his foot in a crack between two old trees and, suddenly, a bull defending a calf begins to attack Grendel. After one successful stab at his knee, Grendel finds an easy way to avoid nearly all of the bull’s lunges. Before long, the repetitive, mechanical bull hardly even phases Grendel. The bull, unlike Hrothgar and his men, incompetently flings itself at Grendel’s tree the same way it would fight anything Like the ram, the bull’s stupidity contrasts Grendel from the common beast that doesn’t “even know that the calves they defend are theirs.” (20) The bull’s “brute enmity” (22) is compared to mankind’s competence when Hrothgar and his men attack Grendel. Although the men are smaller and less physically capable than the bull, Grendel calls them “the most dangerous things [he]’d ever met” (26) simply because of the...
Tacitus was a Roman historian who lived during the first century C.E. and isrenowned today among contemporary historians for his comprehensive writings onsubjects varying from Roman Emperors to Oratory dialogue. Tacitus is credited withwriting some of the oldest recorded descriptions of the Germanic peoples of antiquitywho lived along the northern frontier of the Roman Empire, adjacent to the province of Gallia. Tacitus’ written work Germania encompasses his own understanding of theGermanic peoples and is undoubtedly supplemented by stories and narratives fromindividuals who encountered these peoples themselves. Germania itself appears to be anethnographic work, and is undeniably a primary source for its historical period. Germania encompasses within it descriptions of various
One year ago I realized that drinking and driving is very dangerous. My cousin Janet had everything that anyone will ever ask for in life, a car, a job, a boyfriend that loved her more than anything else in the whole world, a son and a promising future. All that changed when she decided to drive home from a party after drinking. She fall asleep at the wheel, crashed her car very bad into a ditch. Janet was my role model who I looked up in many ways, she always inspired by how hard she worked, but all that changed in one day. For nearly two months she remained in coma and now she is spending several time in rehabilitation to help he learn basic motor functions such as talking, walking and swallowing . For the rest of her life she will likely suffer from memory loss, dangerous seizures and even impaired speech.
