The 291-foot-long L.R. Doty was carrying a cargo of corn when it sank during a ferocious storm on Oct. 25, 1898. It vanished for almost 112 years, the steamship rested in ghostly silence at the bottom of Lake Michigan, unknown and unseen until a group of divers kicked their way down to the deck and solved a perplexing maritime mystery.

In the general election, he defeated Republican William B. Harrison by what was then the largest margin of victory

One of those patients is Louanne, who has been a competitive ballroom dancer for more than a decade. At 82, she is still quick on her feet and hasn’t let two knee replacements or a broken hip hold her back. Despite her passion, her heart couldn’t keep up because of her atrial fibrillation. When the symptoms could no longer be ignored, Louanne’s physicians at the Heart Institute recommended a cardiac ablation. Virginia Mason cardiothoracic surgeons were the first in the Pacific Northwest region to offer patients this new minimally invasive surgery. Her recovery was swift and Louanne is back on her feet again and dancing thanks to her physicians and donors like you!
A man with ambition to be better, is a man that is unstoppable. Standing tall, with a book in one hand and his other hand is reaching out towards you. He wants you to come and join him in furthering your education, he wants you to not let the circumstances and odds that are against you; hold you back from gaining higher education. He wants you to do so, at the university he founded himself, he is Dr. William Hooper Councill. The statue of Dr. Councill on Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, is a direct symbolization and representation of the extraordinary individual that he was. Dr. Councill knew that with education, he could hold power and change the lives of others, and that is exactly what he spent the rest of his life doing and is continuing to do so even decades after his death.
The Dred Scott Decision of 1857 ruled that African-Americans, even ones who were not enslaved, were not protected under The Constitution and could never be citizens. This brings up questions that will be answered in this paper. Should slaves be American citizens? Is it morally correct for one to own another human? Does the Dred Scott decision contradict The Declaration of Independence which states that every man is created equal?

I would prefer Lindy Hop because it is a dance which helps to express ourselves and requires high-vitality, quick swing that hits the dance floor. It is a partnered dance form, traditionally danced a male and a female. In this dance the man drives steps and the lady deciphers the signs and takes after. The essential stride used in this dance is called the swingout.
The importance of Lollardy on the medieval English Church has recently faced a number of disputes in the histographical area. Ever since Anne Hudson’s rediscovery of Lollards in ‘Premature Reformation’ in late 1980s, historians have returned to overlooked evidence and thought about the heretical side of the fifteenth century Church . During the year of Hudson’s work’s publication, forty-four books and articles on Lollardy were published, and since them, there have been an average of more than thirty-one scholarly publications on Lollardy each year, compared with an average of seven publications per year from 1900 to 1986. Yet, the histographical shift which led to the ‘revisionist’ perspective
