Benefit From Studying With the LaptopWritten by Linda Correli
The progress of technology is astounding. Mankind attained fantastic, unprecedented peaks during last century: invention of phone, TV-set, radio, if to mention some. Could Newton or Einstein ever imagine that piles of their books and treatises can be stored in one, by first sight rather small electronic machine called computer? The invention of computer can be compared at least to first step on moon surface, which was a small step for a man, but a Herculean step for mankind. Technology is a power that drives world. As lazy creatures, we have surrounded ourselves with fruit of progress and enjoy our life effortlessly, taking advantage of convenient, helpful, indispensable and irreplaceable machines, created by our hands. Nowadays we can’t imagine our life without these machines. Let’s take computers, for instance. We can’t get along without them anyway. Eating, drinking, and communicating via computers, at last living with them. They have become our obsession, perhaps because they armed us with abundance of new, versatile possibilities or just because we’ve got used to them and they’ve become our mechanical toys. However, computers, especially portable ones, can serve not just as funny toys, but excessively useful tools in our work and study. Studying with laptop is a dream of every college student. In today’s fast moving world this tool is just indispensable and studying with it can become a real pleasure. With a laptop one doesn’t have to carry piles of books and papers, have risk of misplacing them, or searching everywhere for something lost. It’s very convenient to have all documents, materials, tutorials, manuals and what not arranged in order, in one place which is always in hand. Laptops eliminate heavy backpacks straining on one’s back and can easily fit in a backpack. They are lightweight and can be operated on batteries. The main point is to charge them regularly.

DARIUS: - Coins bearing his visage are found in Americas but we would never expect to see normal academic overviews mention this for public consideration. And I was not surprised when I read many other things about Aryans and supposed first Empires, as I read following part of a far larger presentation. Was US support of Shah connected to a larger and long term plan to manage plebs or serfs who think they are free?“Cyrus recognized that "known world" he wished to conquer included Egypt, Carthage, Ethiopia, and Greek colonies on Mediterranean coast as far as Gibraltar, but for time being he thought he had better seize known world to east (except for distant, legendary China). In about a year he took lands as far away as what are now Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. He rushed west again and fell upon Babylon by diverting unfordable Gyndes River, a tributary of Tigris which protected city, into many shallow hand-dug channels. There he freed forty thousand Jews held in Babylonian captivity. A few years later, putting down a revolt in east, Cyrus died in battle. His troops brought his body back to Pasargadae, and laid it to rest in tomb with Nordic roof. {N.B.} Cyrus was not only world's first great emperor; he was a humane man, who treated his victims benevolently, honored their gods, and set higher standards for profession of kingship than most other monarchs down through centuries. His son and successor, by contrast, was a brute who had earlier kicked his pregnant wife to death. He adored flattery, not blinking even when a courtier told him, ‘I do not think you are equal of your father, because you do not have a son like son he left behind.’ Nevertheless, before he mysteriously committed suicide, he managed to capture Egypt and pack pharaoh back to Iran. Upon his death, according to Herodotus, seven young nobles who formed imperial council met and agreed to accept as king him among them whose horse should neigh first at dawn next day. One groom made sure that his master would win by providing a delectable, neigh-worthy mare for stallion. In this way noble named Darius became king, although his own account of his ascent, which he left engraved on stone, differs in ways that do not make nearly as good a story.
