Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963 calling for racial equality and an end to discrimination in the United States. In the speech, he references the Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves 100 years prior but notes that 100 years later, black Americans still faced segregation and discrimination that crippled their lives. He dreams of a day when all people will be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

The document discusses how mankind's exploration has led to our current understanding of the solar system. It describes key astronomers like Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and Newton and their important discoveries. Brahe made detailed observations that Kepler used to develop his laws of planetary motion. Galileo first used a telescope to observe the sky and found evidence supporting heliocentrism from his observations of Jupiter's moons, Venus' phases, and sunspots. Newton developed his laws of motion and gravity to explain orbital mechanics. Later astronomers like Herschel, Tombaugh and others discovered new objects in our solar system like Uranus, Pluto and the Kuiper belt through telescope observations, expanding human knowledge of the solar system.
A group of fashion manufacturing workers performed a dance in front of a thousand colleagues. What is amazing is that, without any professional guidance their performance was just stunning. Want to share it with you.
1. The document discusses corporate blogging, providing statistics on corporate blogs and reasons why companies should have blogs.
2. It outlines the benefits of corporate blogging such as inexpensive knowledge management, branding, and increased productivity. Blogs can be used to share projects, services, and research.
3. Examples are given of large tech companies like Microsoft and HP that have many employee blogs. CEOs from some companies also blog personally.
The document lists different examples of human behaviors and traits, including secrecy (offering blank visiting cards), laziness (asking for a lift while on a morning walk), craziness (getting a blank paper xeroxed), forgetfulness (seeing oneself in the mirror and trying to remember when you last saw someone), stupidity (looking through the keyhole of a glass door), honesty (a pregnant woman taking one and a half tickets), suicide (a dwarf jumping from the footpath), and dehydration (a cow giving milk powder). Each example is presented as "What is the height of [trait]?"
