The Advantages of Dry Cleaning Versus Traditional Washing Machines

In contrast, dry cleaning does not utilize water but instead employs a comprehensive process that cleans the clothing much more effectively.

GPS works through satellites that send signals to receivers kept on surveyors’ tripods. The data is then downloaded into computer software, allowing the surveyor to know the exact position of a point within the time span of a few minutes.  (2) Th...

The Federal Government, the Partial Government Shutdown, and the Ordinary Citizen Would Daily Life Really Change if The Federal Government, As We Know It, Disappeared? By Katherine Fry, CEO/President Mediafy Communications Group Years ago, while a student in college, I learned about the various Antitrust Acts that redefined the power of the Federal Government. I also learned that, originally, the Federal Government had three strictly defined purposes. A united military A united currency The elimination of tariffs between the states However, the rise of commerce led to to the rise of monopolies, arguably (1) It is the compilation of these three Acts that led to the formation of the Federal Government as we know it today. While as a Feminist, I appreciate the rules and regulations that protect women and other minorities in the workplace, as a business owner I feel the burden of taxation that hits my business every other week from the Federal Government. As a citizen,...
