“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.

Tutankhamun (Tutankhamen) was born in Egypt in 1341 B.C. In 1323 B.C. Tutankhamun died of an unknown death; he was only 17 or 18 years old. Before he died he got to live a short time as a ruler. After his body was exhumed, there have been signs that Tutankhamus could have been murdered, or died from an infection from an injury. “Historians generally agree that he was the twelfth ruler of the 18th Egyptian Dynasty, who assumed the throne when he was eight or nine years old. Before puberty he was married to his half-sister (or, possibly, niece) Ankhesenamen, daughter of Queen Nefertiti. He reigned until his death in his late teens. Some studies of his remains suggest that he was

Throughout photographic history, the threshold that many artists had to overcome was conveying the meaning of their photographs to the public if any at all, and the orientation of the subjects in their photography. The intent of portrait photography is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. Nineteenth century photo historian Alan Trachtenberg notes, “Aspiring professionals wrestled with the problem: how to arrange their sitters and manipulate the often fickle medium to produce not just a picture but a pleasing one--not just a likeness but a portrait”(Trachtenberg, 24). Through these words of Trachtenberg, we can deduce that the main problem was how photographers manipulate their subjects in a way that would

In January 2003, AOL Time Warner, Inc., announced that it would be posting a loss of $98.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2002, the largest corporate loss in U.S. history. While company exec- utives described the loss as a result of accounting changes rather than problems with ongoing opera- tions, the media conglomerate clearly faced significant challenges. The stock price closed the month of January at $11.66, down from $71 in January 2000, when it announced its merger with America Online (AOL).

Y/N: "You're joking, right? I didn't work my ass off to be a babysitter Shae!" I said looking down at the folder in my hands that she just handed me. Reading and skimming through the information not really paying attention.

It is now Thursday, the game was only two days ago, yet people are still talking about it. Throughout the halls you hear how great varsity played and how great Sophia was. This is mainly why she knows she is great. If it weren’t for people always venerating her, she would only think that she was alright. She sits down in her first class, science. The teacher has written on the board that he will give back the tests they took yesterday. She knows she didn’t get the grade she should’ve, all because she didn’t go home to study the night before and she also forgot about the test until five minutes before it was handed out. She did think she would still get a good grade, since science was her best subject.

Overall, Lin and Margolin (2014) found that along with solidarity, fear was “significantly associated with #bostonstrong” (p. 22).

Ham spun and slammed his heel down on the snake. Dinah cried out as if she were in pain and the big man took a step back. Turtle flew at him – tried to shove him backward and when she couldnt move him any better than she could move a mountain she beat his chest with two fists until he grabbed her hands and held them against his throat. He looked at the snake stamped against the packed earth.

This article is about techniques to transfer information about genetics from an organism to another, such as a hybrid. This is done when DNA is cleaved and spliced into a carrier molecule, where it can then clone and express itself. Scientists have been working to create such a hybrid.

My client sat stock still in silence, punctuated with the occasional kissing sounds he made. We met briefly the day before when I was appointed as his Guardian Advocate. He had been involuntarily committed under the Baker Act. Since he had no close family or friends, it became my duty to assume temporary guardianship over him and decide on the most beneficial treatment plan for his needs. I mentally rifled through my training manual. It can get better. This phrase peppered the pages in my mind, but advice on helping nonverbal, slightly suggestive clients was scarce. Ask open ended questions. I heeded the manual's suggestion, but a stubborn gaze met each of my attempts. Frustrated, I left with a promise to return the next day.

This is the 99th email in my series of Monday morning emails. In five more weeks, it will be two years since you started reading my weekly emails.

I was born in Manhattan, before there were efforts to introduce New Yorkers to “green spaces” and “street trees.” Concrete and steel held me in their grasp; I could have walked multiple blocks without seeing the color green beyond an occasional glimpse of dead grass and limp shrubbery from a “secret garden.” There was comfort in the noise of traffic, the rumble of the subway, and the clamorous conversations.

Wars have been waging on the Earth as far back as written history in its various forms of art could document. In the past, military conflict was far more unforgiving than it is today as modern international humanitarian laws have regulated war to a certain extent. Civilians are now protected against various war crimes such as genocide and therefore distanced from the wars waged by their nation’s government against enemies. This distance and protection given to the civilian population has numbed them to the various horrors of war going on overseas. People do not have to worry about their safety or the lives of their children when the closest thing to war people experience is provided by images and video from limited news coverage in the

I came to Houston for my college few years ago and since then I am living in the same neighborhood but there are some older people who are living here from the last couple of decades. There was a playground which used to be there for the community’s kids but now kids don’t go there anymore because of few bad reasons. Then there is a corner store which is a gas station and I get gas from there every week and I have been going to this store for a long time and I know the store owner. He told me about the crimes happened in the past and how his store is related in all these criminal activities but being a store owner he cannot do anything because he cares for himself and his family too.

“With the loss of such a large chunk of the world population, militaries returned to slash and burn methods as they retreated, further damaging the environment. And, the loss of population also meant a decline of workers, which had a devastating domino effect on industry and those manufacturers that supplied the war machines. This resulted in rapidly failing economies throughout the world which then ultimately birthed the complete shutdown of governments, and politicians turning their backs on their own people as they went into hiding.
