Todd Bowles uses a hybrid defense scheme. Utilizing both 3-4 and 4-3 defensive fronts. Bowles likes to use his outside linebackers to blitz and try and get after the quarterback. The middle linebackers are used as run defenders and covering TE, RB and sometimes slot receivers. Bowles likes to dial up exotic blitzes to try and fool the QB and disguise where the blitz is actually coming from.

“God put us here on the carnival ride, we close our eyes never knowing, where it will take us” (Wheel of the World quoted In “Biography”). These were the words of Wheel of the World which inspired Carrie Underwood to write her latest album. Although at only 13 years old, she recorded her first album (“Carrie Underwood Biography”).

Noah Haynes Swayne was born December 7,1804 and he passed away on June 8,1884. Swayne was born in Frederick County, Virginia. His parents were staunch Quakers, and Swayne's strong antislavery views may have been shaped by Quaker hostility to the practice. When Swayne's instructor passed away, his plans to become a physician had changed. Then he had turned to the study of law and was admitted to the bar before his 21st birthday. Choosing not to practice in Virginia, however, he moved in 1823 across the river to Ohio, a free state. There his vigorous antislavery views may have contributed to the rapid growth of his legal practice.

Jeannette walls is the posterchild of outward social conformity. Born into a family ill-equipped to raise children, Walls was forced to find strength within herself in order to survive the chaos that her childhood entailed. Walls begins her memoir with her first memory at the age of three. She describes standing above the stove and watching herself catch on fire. Later when she is at the hospital her father comes in to do the "skedaddle" in order to avoid paying hospital fees. This is symbolic of the type of upbringing Walls endured. As a kid, Jeannette was daring and venturesome. Her impulsivity was fueled by her free spirited mother, Rose Walls, and her independant father, Rex Walls.

A woman has a natural instinct to nurture and protect a child, especially their own. A mother as they give birth to their child puts great trust in the doctors and nursing staff as they care for their child. However, what if that confidence is misplaced?

In some instances, the patient is murdered.

Reba McEntire took the romantic route. "I'll Be," which was released in the middle of that year, is an incredibly touching and heartwarming song about one's love for family or a significant other. Her second song that was released by December, "We're So Good Together," is a light-hearted and fun song to dance to, which really shows off Reba's strong voice. Both are beautifully written and performed.

Commercially, some women have experienced extreme success while under the country music umbrella. Shania Twain, one of the most popular artists in the 1990s, “Not only is [...] country music’s most successful female artist, she also recorded the genre’s most successful album of all time, Come On Over in 1997” (McCarthy, par. 3). Taylor Swift’s 2013 arena tour to support her last country album was the most lucrative tour in North America that year, bringing in more than $113 million in ticket revenue (Sisario, par. 16). Critically, women have fared extremely well in recent years. A movement to make music acknowledging the genre’s roots has been lead by a group of female country musicians- to the admiration of critics and fans alike, if they get the chance to hear the music. Since 2014, seven of fifteen nominees for the Grammy Award for country album of the year have been women, with two of the three winners being female (Leight, par. 28-30). If women are given the opportunity to be heard on the radio and develop a fanbase, the chances to achieve a high level of prosperity are just as high as their male counterparts’.
