Origin of The Game of Chess

The origins of chess are not known with certainty but it can easily be seen that the Persians affected the game since it is full of terminology from that language. Foot soldiers in the Persian army were called piyadah, which explains the use of the word pawns in today's game. The Persian chariot was a rukh, which became the rook. The Persian king was the shah. which evolved into the word chess. Shahmati which means 'the king is dead, became the expression checkmate, which signals that one of the players has been successful. In conclusioni the repeated use of Persian words in its terminology shows that chess is of Persian origin.

Pruning

Trees should pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, but if the inexperienced gardener is encouraged by the thought, more damage resulsts from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.

Pruning also is done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. Pruning makes tree healthier. You can cut disease or dead wood. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease,so there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be goal of every gardener to reduce that risk as much as possible.


Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and it is, too, very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed, and therefore painting will not be necessary.

Darwin Ruined By Cyclone Tracy

Almost twenty five thousand people had to be evacuated city of Darwin,devastated by a cyclone with 165m.p.h (264 kmh) on Christmas Day of 1975. This incident show us power of wind in term of destruction. The people living in Darwin used to be accustomed to cyclone warnings, therefore they hadn't paid attention to these warnings. In fact, some people died in their cars due to trying to drive home through the cyclone from Christmas parties and social calls. The reason why people ignore the alerts is the fact that there is not such a big cyclone after the Townsville tragedy in December 1971. The all other cyclones had hit the coastal towns. However, in 1975, it doesn't happen unfortunately. Apart from a number of people killed in their cars, nearly all the other victims died in the wreck of their homes , which, despite the fact that Darwin lies in the recognised cyclone belti hadn't been built to withstand cyclonic winds. Although building standarts in other states of Australia were made much stricter after the disaster at Townsville. In other words, the buildings in Darwin was built of wood and corrugated iron. As a result, many people were killed by flying sheets of iron from the roofs.

Globalization

Globalisation process has affected all aspects of the world population since it has challenged national, cultural and economic boundaries. The issue of whether this process has been beneficial or detrimental is widely debated. Although the proponents of globalisation argue that it reduces poverty and increases wealth, I believe that this process has been detrimental since multinational companies empowered by globalisation damage local economies and abuse labor force and the gap between the rich and the poor has become wider. To begin with, multinational companies harm economies and people. Companies operating in various countries are not supposed to pay taxes to the local governments, which causes economic loss for the states. Moreover, these companies take advantage of poor economic conditions in developing or underdeveloped countries by giving extremely low wages to workers including children. To illustrate, Foxconn, producer of Apple and Dell appliances, make workers in their Chinese plant work over twenty hours a day. Secondly, as a result of globalisation the rich become richer and the poor become poorer.  The priviliged minority holding over 90% of the world’s wealth give priority to profit-making and disregard well-being of the world population. In addition, conductors of globalisation process; that is, IMF and WB, destroy the local economies of developing nations by imposing harsh debt-lending policies. As a result, the countries suffering from debt spiral gradually become poorer. Yet/ However, the proponents of globalisation urge that it lessens the poverty and enhance the wealth. This argument is obviously not true. When the growing prosperity of the rich minority and the diminishing income of the lower classes are considered, it can clearly be seen that the argument of supporters is imcompatible with the reality. To sum up, it is essential that the process of globalised be radically reformed in favour of the world’s majority.
