Pedaling is a compound sport, which involves competitors, who must compete with a diversity of approaches, numerous environmental factors, and roughness on the ground. The operation on high grounds is an essential ascertaining victory factor in the leading international cycling tournaments. The main forces that a bicyclist must prevail over are; the gravity and air resistance. Air resistance rises exponentially with momentum. When pedaling from a smooth road to an ascending hill, the reduced speed lessens the air resistance to a level where leading other riders offers little benefit. Smaller bicyclists, who prefer to have a higher authority to ...

A Comparison of Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” and Johnson’s “Black Woman” The short story, Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway, and the poem, Black Woman by Georgia Douglas Johnson, both focus on the struggle a woman experiences when contemplating an abortion.

Every romantic relationship hits a point where what we want to be true about the relationship runs squarely into what is actually true in that relationship. At that point is generally the crisis that determines whether the relationship will survive or not. If the relationship does not survive, we often end up heading out looking for another one, wanting what we wanted to be true to be real in the next relationship. This is often why so many men, single once again in middle age, end up trying to date someone much younger to see if they can relive ...

Again, the famous poem I wandered lonely as a Cloud (Daffodils) penned by the famous Romantic poet, William Wordsworth can be taken to be ...
