The art of predicting the future with tea leaves has been practiced in both Asian and Europe for centuries. Its not hard to try doing it yourself. First, brew yourself a cup of tea. You can use any kind of loose tea, but its best to drink it from a wide, white cup. This makes it easy to see the leaves. Relax and enjoy your tea. Drink it all, but leave a spoonful at the bottom of the cup. Now pick up the cup and move it three times from right to left. Turn it upside down over a saucer to get the liquid drain out. Turn it right side up again, and now you are ready to read the leaves. When you interpret the leaves; pay attention to their position in the cup. Leaves near the top represent the near future, while leaves near the bottom represent the distant future. Leaves near the cups handle represent yourself or your home. The images in the leaves arent always distinct, but if you look carefully, some pictures will appear. Both birds and airplanes mean that you will make a journey. Birds also represent good luck. A cross or a snake, on the other hand, means that bad luck will come your way. A baby means that you will have small worries. Ladders and stars mean that you will reach your dream.

In west-central New York State there is a group of eleven long, narrow, glacial lakes known as the Finger Lakes. From east to west these lakes are Otisco, Skaneateles, Owasco, Cayuga, Seneca, Keuka, Canandaigua, Honeoye, Canadice, Hemlock, and Conesus. These lakes have been aptly named because of their resemblance to the fingers of a hand. Two of the largest of the Finger Lakes, Seneca and Cayuga, exemplify the selection of the name: Seneca is thirty-seven miles long and four miles across at its widest point, and Cayuga is forty miles long and two miles across. Although scientists are not completely certain as to how these lakes were formed most believe that successive sheets of glacial ice carved out the long, narrow valleys. The glaciers most probably moved along the paths of preexisting stream valleys and further deepened these valleys to depths well below sea level. With the melting of the glaciers at the end of the Ice Age, the lakes were filled.

e thi tuyen sinh sau ai hoc ai hoc KHXH & NV TP.HCM The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was formed in 1935 during the height of the Great Depression as part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelts New Deal package to bring the economy around and provide relief for the millions of unemployed throughout the country; the goal of the program was to maintain peoples skills and respect by providing work to as many as possible during this period of massive unemployment. For the eight years that the WPA was in existence from 1935 to 1943, the WPA was responsible for providing job to approximately eight million people at a cost of more than eleven billion dollars. One of the more controversial programs of the WPA was the Federal Art Project, a program to employ artists full-time at such tasks as painting murals in libraries, theaters, train stations, and airport; teaching various techniques of art; and preparing a comprehensive study of American crafts. Criticism of the program centered on what was perceived as the frivolity of supporting the arts at a time when millions were starving, industry was sagging, farms were barren, and all that could flourish were bankruptcy courts and soup kitchens.
