... revolves around the bull and will continue revolving around the bull forever. The Running of the Bulls at the Fiesta de San Fermin is one of the major events in Spain. The tradition first originated when Saint Fermin went to France to preach the gospel. Because of religious intolerance the people of France beheaded him in the city of Amines (Fiesta de San Fermin). Thus gives the name to the fiesta in honor of San Fermin. The main event at the Fiesta de San Fermin is the Running of the Bulls. The running of the bulls pits the “mozos” young men versus the bull through the streets of Pamplona, Spain. The complete run lasts for an exhilarating three ...

... such as enforcer, the man who does al the “dirty work”; knock off and take care of ,both meaning to kill; and doing hard time, which is being behind bars or in prison. These words have become commonplace. It is also possible that they were commonplace and “the Mob” sort of took them as their own. There are also saying used by gangsters to explain things. If a man steals a large sum of money and is questioned by the police, he will tell them that he won big playing craps in Vegas. The police are obviously natural enemies of the Wiseguys, gangsters. They are always trying to make the big arrest, but the wiseguys use lies such as the one about craps to keep from ...

... Dublin known as Pale. Over the next four centuries this area was the beachhead of the kingdom of Ireland, adopting English administrative practices and looked to England for the protection and leadership. Numerous attempts were made to have English rule over the rest of Ireland, but the major expansion did not take place until the sixteenth century. For the Irish clans who disputed the rest of the Island with each other, England became a threat to their sovereignty and customs. By the end of Queen Elizabeth's reign, a military conquest had established English rule over most of the Island, with the principal exemption of the northern province of Ulster. The U ...

... function of Narmer's Palette was to commemorate a victory over his human foes. With Narmer's victory, the Palette also depicts his successful claim and conquest of all of Egypt, thus establishing unification of Lower and Upper Egypt under his rule. The dominant them however, is the victory of the god incarnate over the forces of evil and chaos. The Narmer Palette, while depicting several social aspects and tendencies of the Egyptian society, also reveals and emphasizes their structured positions within a hierarchy of command. Both sides of the Palette reveal, at the top, the name of king Narmer, which first documents, in the written history of Eg ...

... . Villages were strategically located on bluffs overlooking the river for defense purposes, limiting attacks to one land approach. The Mandan lived in earth lodges, which are extremely large, round huts that are 15 feet high and 40-60 feet in diameter. Each hut had a vestibule entrance, much like the pattern of an Eskimo igloo, and a square hole on top, which served as a smokestack. Each earth lodge housed 10-30 people and their belongings, and villages contained 50-120 earth lodges. The frame of an earth lodge was made from tree trunks, which were covered with criss-crossed willow branches. Over the branches they placed dirt and sod, which coined the term earth lo ...

... sort of war—one against dissent and nonconformity. It changed the psyche and face of the United States as surely as did World War Two (Fariello, 24). This was a time in American History where panic and terror controlled the lives and the laws of this country (Fariello, 28). When in 1919 the newly appointed Attorney General, A. Mitchel Palmer, was abruptly awoken from his house by a bomb, everyone was seeing red, so to speak. Instantaneously fingers were being pointed in the immediate direction of the Communist Party. The Communist Party had reason, good reason to go after Palmer. He had used legislation passed in 1917 to deport many "communist" that ...

... that we can be sure of is that we are thinking things. Even in denying that we are thinking things we are affirming the actual point that we look to deny. The thought that we are not thinking things is still a thought and therefore proof that we are thinking things. For it is not conceivable for one to think of a point at which we are not thinking. We can try to persuade ourselves that there are times when we are not thinking but in doing so we see that we do exist. For it is impossible to persuade nothing of something, so our existence is solely dependent on the fact that we are things, thinking things that can be persuaded. E ...

... why the Knights were so honorable. There are some very honorable men in the world that treat women with respect and for that I commend them, but there are those who give men a bad name. The worst case of this that I have seen is when Bill Clinton, the President of the United States cheated on his wife with another. When the man that is the leader of the greatest country in the world is breaking these rules, why should civilians be expected to keep them? Another rule is that you have to grant another mercy if they ask you for it. I like this rule a lot because instead of having to kill someone to win a battle they can beg you for mercy and you can take just a ...

... Eisenhower was given command of the Allied invasion of North Africa. Eisenhower is not the type of man who has a huge ego and he does not give blood-and-guts speeches, but he does know how to manager people who have super egos. General Eisenhower “had the ability to work generals--along with airmen, Navy men, and lesser soldiers by the millions--in effective harmony in carrying out large-scale operations” (Goldstein 8). That is one of the reasons why Eisenhower was chosen to lead Operation Overlord. Operation Overlord was a well kept secret. The Allies went through a lot to make sure that the Germans only heard what the Allies wanted him ...

... nature. This meaning that they were a culture in which nothing was permanent. Their survival depended on mobility. The Abenaki did not utilize storage as we do now, or even as the early Europeans of the time did. For each of the four seasons they stayed in areas where they would successfully survive. For instance, the summer months were spent on the coastal regions fishing and foraging while in the winter they pulled back into the interior forests for protection and hunting. However, they did return to the same part of the forests, coasts and waterfalls where their former camps had been. Although the Abenaki culture bent to the seasons, they dramatically shaped th ...
