Any picture can speak 1,000 words, but only a select few say something poignant enough to galvanize an entire society. The following photographs screamed so loudly that the entire world stopped to take notice. 1. The Photograph That Raised the Photojournalistic Stakes: “Omaha Beach, Normandy, France” Robert Capa, 1944 “If your pictures aren’t good enough,” war photographer Robert Capa used to say, “you aren’t close enough.” Words to die by, yes, but the man knew of what he spoke. After all, his most memorable shots were taken on the morning of D-Day,...

 Try to imagine a world without Walt Disney. A world without his magic, whimsy, and optimism. Walt Disney transformed the entertainment industry, into what we know today.

Understanding body language is a skill that can enhance your life. You can know what a person thinks and feels by examining their subconscious body language. This article will help hone this social advantage you can gain over people in your life. You must watch from head to toe to see their actions.  Gauge how close someone is to you.

Manned Mission to Mars By TOM MCNICHOL A manned mission to the Red Planet could turn out to be the 21st century’s greatest adventure. A journey to Mars would be the fulfillment of centuries-old dreams, as well as a huge shot in the arm for NASA, or any other country’s space program. And there’s a chance that the mission could uncover some form of microbial life, which would rank as one of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time. Okay, there are still a few wrinkles left to iron out. A one-way trip to Mars would take about seven months, exposing astronauts to potentially...

By TOM MCNICHOL Apollo 11 Lands on the Moon The crew of Apollo 11 faced risks that were literally out of this world. Engine failure could have left them stranded on the lunar surface or forever lost in space. Solar radiation and re-entry heat could have cooked them alive. A space-suit failure could have suffocated them in the most gruesome way. By today’s standards, Apollo 11’s technology was primitive — the onboard navigation computer contained only 74 kilobytes of memory, not enough to store a single MP3 music file. But as soon as Neil Armstrong took his first tentative step on...

SAVING THE BIRDS One day in spring four men were riding on horseback along a country road. These men were lawyers, and they were going to the next town to attend court. There had been a rain, and the ground was very soft. Water was dripping from the trees, and the grass was wet. The four lawyers rode along, one behind another; for the pathway was narrow, and the mud on each side of it was deep. They rode slowly, and talked and laughed and were very jolly. As they were passing through a grove of small trees, they heard a great fluttering over their heads and a feeble chirping in the grass by the...

The day the entire world moves on from the “oughts” is nearly upon us. Since we entered this decade ten years ago, technology, work, and society on a micro and macro level has evolved to a level no one could have ever predicted. Before we can look forward to the future, we must take a look at the past to see just how far we’ve come. Think back to the year 2000. George W. Bush and Al Gore were the front runners in the Presidential election. Microsoft had just released Windows ME, the recently-launched Playstation 2 was the hottest holiday item, and the term “Y2K” and its associated...

Effective managers and leaders know that they can climb greater heights and achieve remarkable goals only if they delegate work to the good, able and talented people around them. The logic is simple – if they are able to rope in more brains and bodies to do the tasks, they are able to get more things done within the same time frame. Having these tasks out of the managers’ hands will free up their time and allow them to concentrate on value-added jobs which befit their status and qualifications. The ability to delegate work is therefore a vital asset that all good leaders and managers should...
