Dewey Bozella’s life changed in a matter of minutes putting his innocence at jeopardy. Getting put behind bars for a crime that he never committed. Spending three decades in prison fighting all but the first couple years to get another trailer to try and get the charges dropped, as you continue to try finally you have another case and the court system tells you that if you confess than they would drop your charger. How could anyone want to confess to something that they never did that they weren’t even a part of, than you find out that the court system was burning the evidence to the case.

The Yanomamo, the largest isolated tribe in South America, are a hunter-gatherer community with multiple unique characteristics of their culture. This society is very underdeveloped due to their isolation, for example their technology is not near what developed countries have experienced over the past century. The main technological feature is the clay pot, and since it is fragile, the men handle the cooking due to the fact that women are seen as “clumsy”. This is one of the many examples that show the male dominance this tribal culture experiences. Another example would be the preference of male children, this, however, has caused issues within the society because being decidedly masculine results in marriage issues. These issues include friction among the men due to pining over the minimal amount of females along with marriage between tribes due to no eligible availability of women. Apart from the male dominance and technology, everyday life is simple for the most part. Women tend to the children and gather food for the tribes while the men hunt- hence the term

Rifles are classed based on their action (bolt action, pump action, lever action, etc.) and the caliber, or size, of ammunition they fire.

For example, if you're talking about a .25-06 Remington, the first number refers to the caliber. In this case, the gun has a bore with a quarter-inch diameter (6.35 mm). And the cartridge case is designed to hold -- you guessed it -- six grains of powder.
