Nimrud (Kalhu) was a Neo-Assyrian city established as the new capital of Assyria by King Ashurnasirpal II, who reigned from 883 BC to 859 BC (Gates, 170; The Banquet Inscription of Ashurnasirpal II). In Ashurnasirpal’s campaign of territorial expansion of the Assyrian empire, he expressed his political power by establishing the capital of Nimrud (The Banquet Inscription of Ashurnasirpal II). In his 24 years as King of Assyria, Ashurnasirpal II carried out numerous construction projects of temples and other physical monuments in Nimrud, but the Northwest Palace of Ashurnasirpal II was undoubtedly the most remarkable building erected in the city. The amount of stone needed to construct Ashurnasirpal’s Northwest Palace must have been astounding, not to mention the countless

When I was younger I had a babysitter who was in high school. I looked up to her so much and wanted to be a big girl like her and go to high school. Little did I know that when I got that old I would want to be that little girl again. With senior year beginning I’ve been getting hounded with college emails and universities calling to invite me to visit. Having to make the decision of where I want to go to college, what I want to study, and how I’m gonna make all that happen while still being in high school and getting treated like a child is a bit overwhelming. I never realized how overwhelming and stressful senior year would be.

Gallahan’s article grants the reader with an article containing the advantages and disadvantages of a year round school. In the beginning of the article Gallahan discusses that year round school is always a debate the moment it is brought up. While the author mentions that the article is about the two different sides of year round school, it is mainly focused on the advantages. For example, “Schools utilizing a year-round calendar are experiencing benefits of remediation and retention as other traditional calendar schools are reaping the benefits of calendar unity and less funding commitment” (Gallahan). This intext citation displays that even though her article addresses the debate, her voice of reason is directed more towards the advantages.

Almost everyone has some kind of leisure time whether it is a couple hours or a couple days. What varies is the type of recreational activities people choose to do during that time. Although leisure and recreation is chosen based on ones unique individual interests, there are many sociocultural factors that influence the type of recreational activities we do, when we do it and how often we do it. These factors include political,

Also, everyone's schedules are always messed up, and the school doesn't help the students fix their schedules. The counsellors don't allow students to drop out of AP classes (even if they were put in my mistake, which happens often) and then, they would not let students into the class who were supposed to take the AP class because it was "full." Yet, it was only "full" because it was full of students who weren't meant to take the class.

As the 2015 Year 11s, we have relationships that blur the lines between sibling-like and best friend-like. Every year we grow, change, and improve our school for the better. Whether it’s in school life sports, drama, music, clubs, academics or in ourselves personally such as our aspirations, goals, taste in music, or hair colour. Another school year has come and gone, we have trekked up the unforgiving steps of Mount Access countless times and we have finally reached the end. Year 11 has been a whirlwind of studying, internals, credits and expectations but we have faced it bravely. We began the year by leaving Year 10 behind and starting our journey into the unknown territory of NCEA. We have stepped up into our role as part of the senior school and we’re sure we speak for everyone when we say sometimes we wish we could just rewind a few years back to when everything was easier.

Four Seaons were the first condom manufacturer in the world to release a coloured, dotted condom, and also the first to produce a condom that adjusts to the pH inside a vagina. Constant innovation within the company led to the release of the thinnest condom ever, Four Seasons Naked 0.02, only 0.02 mm thickness. In 1997, Four Seasons developed a breakthrough condom made from special polyurethane material; a form of plastic which is thinner, twice as strong as latex and is not damaged by oil-based lubricants. The condom was an outcome of over 25 years of material research Four Seasons, 2013).

The main concerns and issues raised by students were that they do not feel like they know about various events on campus. Most students felt that there should be an email that goes out with all the events that week on it. Another issue was they feel like that they need to have more events in the afternoon – early evening, so they can attend. They feel like they will not come back to campus unless it is a really big event. Another issue that was addressed was installing a left turn signal by the Halo garage. Most commuter students felt that this would solve the issues of trying to get out of the

I can only hope for the best or most likely, the worst. The beginning of a new school year is a hard one , also very very difficult.Friends and people reuniting ,then you got the people you really hate the most. For me,I really don’t like the boys at my school,but some I can make a good friendship with,then there’s him. Andrew Grant,your-average-bad kid,he is one that no one ever forgets.He had at least punched 7 high school kids in the face and sent 1 to the hospital. He is the one that I hate the most out of our school,my mortal enemy.The only reason why he’s staying here at Arrowood High school is because of his “good” grades,but I don’t see why he should stay.
