There’s a much-quoted lined from that old “Blues Brothers” movie, in which a staff member of a rough-and-tumble redneck bar offers that the venue’s stage plays host to “both kinds” of music: “Country and Western.” It feels a little similar when people say they’re into “alternative” and “indie” music, but is there actually any validity to a separation between the two? Well, yes and no. Alternative and indie, at their roots, stand more for vague ideas and beliefs than any kind of specific musical styles of sounds, and truly the only real difference is the location of the artist: alternative was the preferred nomenclature of American artists while indie came straight from the British Isles....
The movie “300” is about 300 brave Spartans fighting against immeasurable odds during the historical Battle of Thermopylae. But there’s so much more to the film than handsome, muscular, scantily-clad men involved in fierce combat with their Persian foes.

Engines are designed to run hot for excellent efficiency, but not to the extent that they overheat and damage components by overpressure or loss of coolant. Some say that overheating engines are the typical shortcomings of older cars and anyone who owns one will eventually be left stuck and steaming on the side of the road. We say that’s not necessarily the case. When these older cars came off the assembly line they didn’t have an overheating problem, so they have an adequate cooling system (This is mainly true, but many vehicles during their development were never tested in the summer heat in Arizona or a similar climate, as many are today)....

Mergers and acquisitions happen, more often than not, to increase the earnings of the new entity. One way to increase earnings is to increase sales. But when Company A acquires Company B, the total sales of the new entity will start off equaling Company A’s existing sales plus Company B’s existing sales. Same as it was before. So increased sales aren’t likely the way that the principles expect to increase earnings, not in the near term....
There’s a reason that the hurdles are considered running events, rather than jumping events. Reduced to simple terms, the ideal hurdler will basically run the 100 to 400 meters, while taking what amounts to a long, gliding stride over each hurdle. The competitors will spend as little time in the air as possible. They’ll get their feet back on the ground quickly after clearing each hurdle. Then, they will continue running with consistent strides so they can clear the next obstacle just as smoothly as the last....
