The wheel

The wheel

                     The wheel has been an essential part of human life from the very early years of human civilization. The wheel can be best described as a circular object that rotates on an axial bearing.  The earliest wheels were known to be wooden disks with a hole in the middle for the axle.  The word wheel first came from an Old English word.  In Sanskrit, the wheel is called chakra to mean round or circle.  It is believed that the wheel first originated around 3500 BC in Mesopotamia (part of modern-day Iraq) where it was used for chariots.  Some argue that it was invented by the Mesopotamians, the Northern Caucasus and Central Europeans.  Therefore, the issue of where the wheel originated in still remains a mystery.

Non-Verbal Communication

Non-Verbal Communication

All of us communicate non-verbally as well as verbally.  If irritated, we may tense our bodies, press our lips together, and gesture with our eyebrows. With a gaze, a glance or stare we can communicate intimacy, submission, or dominance.

Most of us are good at"reading" non-verbal cues to understand the emotions in an old silent film. We are especially good at detecting non verbal threats. In a crowd of faces, a single angry face will "pop out" faster than a single happy one.  Some of us are more sensitive to these cues than others.
