The Golden Gate Bridge
Linking San Francisco to Marin County in California, the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the

, What effect does your voice have on others? Does it persuade or irritate, attract or

to loud, or too nasal. Harsh voice qualities usually come from too much tension in the
throat and jaw. Tension tightens muscles and blocks the relaxed voice tones essential to
a pleasing impression. Because tension occurs in higher pitched voices, women tend to
have shriller voices than men, which usually makes them less desirable public speakers,
newscasters, or political candidates.

rulers that displeased them by giving the offender a white elephant. Because the animal

be fed hundreds of pounds of fruit and cared for in the most lavish style. The recipient
could not give the elephant to anyone else, as it was the ruler, who would be greatly
displeased should the recipient not receive the gift graciously or care for in a grand
style. This monetary burden could be a major liability to the recipient and in many cases
they became impoverished.
This is the origin of the term "white elephant" as it is used today to denote an unwanted
gift. The way of gift exchange played during the holiday season is an offshoot of this. In
