In medieval and ancient philosophy the Wheel of Fortune , or Rota Fortunae , is a symbol of the capricious nature of Fate . The wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna (Greek equivalent Tyche ) who spins it at random, changing the positions of those on the wheel: some suffer great misfortune, others gain windfalls. Fortune appears on all paintings as a woman, sometimes blindfolded, "puppeteering" a wheel.

Random Entry Disease was a bigger threat than war was. It's effects, much slower with treatments that we more-or-less mistaken as actual cures, as this form of inward destruction strands worsen as time progresses while generations upon generations dismiss it in scale until masses upon masses become afflicted and an atheistic fondness of a trial-turned-persecution, imminent . Assaults so microscopic in form that they become less reactionary as oppose to the obvious and quick attack of terrorism and holocausts. 1984, a picturesque landscape with a bloodborne pathogen spattered on broken frame. Margaret Thatcher, a 20th century female leader had become Great Britain's first female prime minister in the pivotal year of 1980 that opens up the door for Rosie's last rivet. The assimilation of Third Wave's members hauntingly assimilates the LGBT while a Nazist surveillance around Britain begins with the controversial passing of Section 28. Pluto-Scorpio tran...

How many leads do you need – this will depend on two things – how much your product costs and what your conversion rate is. The conversion rate will greatly depend on the channel you use to connect with your prospects. For cold calls, you can expect conversion rates between 2 and 4 percent. An average email marketing conversion rate could range from 2 to 12 percent, depending on your industry. Facebook has a conversion rate of 1.85 percent. Knowing this, you may make your own calculations. Let’s imagine that you sell a product for $500. Cold calls: if your conversion rate is 2 percent, you will need to make 100,000 cold calls to be able to sell to 2,000 people (100,000 x 0.02 = 2,000 x $500 = $1,000,000). Email marketing: if your conversion rate is 5 percent, you will need to have an email list of 40,000 people in order to make 2,000 sales. Facebook: if your conversion rate is 1.85 percent, you need to have 108,109 Facebook fans.
Inventors of Philosophy

In beginnings of Philosophy, Plato spoke of the war between the philosophers and the poets. To make philosophy an invention is to concede the war to poetry. Why would anyone wish to make philosophy into a flight of fancy with no relationship to truth? The discovery of philosophy, the discovery that the world confirms to reason, is to great to be mere application of reason, an invention, but is in fact the discovery of an aspect of the character of the whole cosmos – namely, that it is rational.

Firstly, let's agree on two things: By cruelty, I take you are referring to crime. By Western news you are referring to CNN, New York Times & Al Jazeera etc. Let us start with the facts: Most murders do not make news because they tend to occur in areas that are already violent and marginalised. Murders in the townships will not always make it to the first pages of the news even locally, because that's a daily occurrence. Rural communities are marginalised in this country and that includes farm workers and farmer owners. Murder, is these areas is unlikely to make news either, because they are marginalised. However crimes with racist undertones will definitely make international news. Secondly crimes or murder that happens on the grand scale like the “Marikana massacre” will also make international news because of the sheer scale of the news. Let's go through the most prominent and highly publicised stories world over. Picture no.1 shows you how ...

Pythagoras 570 BCE – 495 BCE Another pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, Pythagoras is someone known far more for his theories and ideas in mathematics than in philosophy. In fact, he is best known for the theorem in geometry that is named after him. He is one of the most familiar names from pre-Socratic society, but yet, what we know about him surprisingly less. He is credited with founding a philosophical school that amassed him a number of followers. It was at this school that Pythagoras tried to find a mutual harmony between real life and the practical aspects of philosophy. His teachings were not strictly constricted to what we know as philosophy, but also included common issues like ‘rules on living’, ‘daily food to eat’ and so on. He regarded the world as perfect harmony and aimed his teaching on how to lead a harmonious life. Socrates 469 BCE – 399 BCE Socrates embarked a whole new perspective of achieving practical results through application of philosophy in our d...

American Dichotomy: NFL and Physical Assault WOLFMAN - ART · SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2017 Patriots and Bills game. Concussion from the result of an illegal hit. Football is a sport that makes for physical assault exclusive in it's arena. Nothing really you can do to repress or change that. You can fix the punishment though. You can see what 5 game suspensions do to your ratings versus a mere 1 or 2 games plus a huge fine. But lets keep in mind here; we're dealing with something similar to a mafia that hungers for violence, and in order for them to sustain their business, they have to weigh in the worth of this entertainment. The problem is the NFL's commissioning and how it handles the punishment for the illegality of an assault on the field and separating that from the game itself. The Deflategate scandal, for instance, was a different, non-violent case that involved a possible ‘bending of the rules’ from a franchise that had credibility fo...
Fair Use - Guidelines - Four Factors

In the United States, fair use is determined by a judge, who analyzes how each of the four factors of fair use applies to a specific case. 1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes Courts typically focus on whether the use is “transformative.” That is, whether it adds new expression or meaning to the original, or whether it merely copies from the original. Commercial uses are less likely to be considered fair, though it’s possible to monetize a video and still take advantage of the fair use defense. 2. The nature of the copyrighted work Using material from primarily factual works is more likely to be fair than using purely fictional works. 3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole Borrowing small bits of material from an original work is more likely to be considered fair use than borrowing large portions. However, even a small...
