comes to fauna. There are two main differing groups present, carnivores - those that eat meat such as leopards present in Africa and Asia along with the jaguars present in South America. Herbivores do not have as strong a presence, however some that you can find in the tropical rainforest are the great apes and monkeys, as well as the two toed sloth.

Sandberg stated that a pressing issue for women has been the value of education. Sandberg describes…

Prom is being afraid. Can you feel it? Can you feel the dread hovering over you like a cloud? It is following you. Each roll of thunder says, “It will not work”, “It will not be right”, “You are going to fail.” It rains a constant worry on you and flashes bright hot streaks of terror. You cannot afford the lavished things everyone else can. For you there will be no limo, no date, no fancy candlelit dinner, no magical slow dance, no adorable pictures, and barely even a group. When others talk about…

The Philosophical Question at issue: Should I be afraid of death? Authors Thesis: During his passage, Epicurus tells us we have nothing to look forward to at death because when we die, there is nothing more. Authors Argument: Epicurus says that people need to start believing that death is nothing. He believes that death is the “privation of all awareness” (Epicurus, pg 103), the complete opposite of the meaning of good and evil, which is having awareness. Epicurus tells us that we must focus on…

“I am afraid it will hurt, mommy”. It is time for you 4½-year-old’s booster shot. And it is normal for her to be afraid since she probably remembers the pain from the last time or has seen other family members getting a shot for something else. Moreover, with the Indian tendency to dramatize, your child is probably often told that she will be taken to a doctor and given ‘an injection’ when she misbehaves. It’s never a good idea to create fear in the mind of your child, because she is only going to…

But honestly my death was, if anything, anticlimactic. It began, as you might say, by complete coincidence on a commercial flight to Amsterdam. Me and my fear of heights, choose the aisle seat while a pale-looking businessman sat next to the window playing Candy Crush on his iPhone. I had to confess; he was making me feel…

Strength is what makes people to keep trying over and over again. Don’t cry, don’t let those tears fall, my mind said. Never give up; if someone else can do it, you can do it too. Look for what you want and follow the path you want to, for your life. Do what makes you happy and don´t be afraid, if it is meant to be yours it will be. In this way you might find some troubles and bumps to avoid, but nothing that with a little bit of divine help call “Faith” cannot fix. These ones were the words a voice in…

The Eye of the Needle The Eye of the Needle was always an iconic place along the Missouri until May 1997 when it collapsed under suspicious circumstances. On the expedition of Lewis and Clark, the White Cliffs of Montana was a signature site described by Lewis. One of the extraordinary landmarks was the Eye of the Needle, which Meriwether Lewis first described its scenery by comparing its magnificent rock formations to “elegant ranges of lofting freestone buildings, having their parapets well stocked…
