A factory consists of numerous moving parts that, at times, make it difficult to keep up. People need the proper training when on a production floor or they run the risk of getting injured. I work for the wind turbine manufacturer, Vestas, and we take pride in providing employees with the proper training. Employee turnover can be a by-product of the lack of training. In this paper I want to discuss the philosophical shift that has taken place at my place of employment since I first started.

state was the cult of Vesta, whose namesake goddess was tended to by her following of priestesses. These maidens, known as the Vestal Virgins, are remembered in historical imagination as soft, feminine beings that spent the majority of their lives within the Roman forum. However, the image of the Vestal Virgin is one that lends itself to a strong and dignified woman; a woman who relinquished her body for the prosperity of the Roman state as an attendant for the goddess Vesta. Truly, then, these Vestal

of studying Ceres and Vesta, two of the three known protoplanets in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter1-17. Dawn’s main purpose is to help discover how the solar system formed1. Vesta and Ceres were specifically chosen because they are two very diverse planetary bodies that are essentially frozen as dwarf planets in their teenage years.

Worship was essential to everyday life in Rome. The Hearth was figuratively and literally
Comets and asteroids. They are some of the first celestial bodies that humans observed and truly thought about.

These objects have intrigued the human race for generations, and continue to do so today. These similar subjects of fascination have many

Greek and Roman Mythology From the beginning of time, humans have created myths in order to explain the everyday occurrences in their world. The tales of mythological creatures were spun as a means of understanding nature and the manifestations of her power. For example, thunder frightened many people, and no one understood where it came from or why it happened. So, to ease their minds, a story of a great god, Zeus, that ruled the sky was created.

What would you do if you were told you couldn’t prosecute them because you were a lower class woman? This was the scenario in Ancient Rome. Everything depended on your gender, status, and job.
