- ... This has 7 S's (easy to remember) and a graphical representation to visualize. This shows the businessman that the intractable, irrational, intuitive, and informal organization can be managed.

Our own culture today is wrapped-up in tradition and Bible quotes as undisputable fact, even though people twist these things to promote their own interests! My own family justifies their hatred for gays ... these quotes in grey & black, because they were very confusing to me in forming an opinion about Jesus.

All attempts had failed when physicists tried to bend cathode rays with an electric field. Now Thomson thought of a new approach. A charged particle will normally curve as it moves through an electric field, but not if it is surrounded by a conductor (a sheath of copper, for example). Thomson suspected that the traces of ... next two years yielded an independent measurement of the value of the charge and confirmed this remarkable conclusion. Thomson boldly announced his hypothesis that. He said that in the cathode rays, we have found a new state of matter, a state in which the subdivision of matter is carried beyond the ordinary gaseous state: a state in which all matter is of the same kind. This new form of matter ...
