Leonie the Strong looked at her newborn daughter with love in her heart that spilled out into her eyes and was upon her face for all to see. Her father Kevin the Unsure, loved her also and showed his love by working hard, for that was all he knew. He wished to spend more time with his family, but felt easier in the presence of the winged warriors, cooking for them day and night. Naming day came and after much consideration Leonie the Strong decided to call the little one Vicki-ann; a magical

Like an ocean, its wake flowing and ebbing with the tide; the ebb leading to moments of clarity, so too did the racket within the mine shaft. A weak sob filtrated the silence between words.

The hangar was alive with activity and tense with expectation as Tensai peered through the pilot's access hatch, then as he crossed the threshold, he paused for a second, inhaling deeply and revelling in the pungent, heavy odour of burnt high-octane fuel and spilt oil. To him, this was the essence of power. Real authority. Not the kind lorded over by Kentali's political masters. As he thought, his gaze reached out across the huge hangar deck, its rich history marked by deep cuts and rainbowed spots

The Obama Administration has seen most of this change within the first two years in office. Could the Immigration and Customs Enforcement be to blame? Or is this possibly one small statistic affected by the terrorist attack that occurred on September 11th, 2001? How the United States immigration policy, national security

September 11 and Pearl Harbor   ³I don¹t think it is an understatement to say that this is the second Pearl Harbor,² Senator Charles Hagel from Nebraska told the Los Angeles Times on September 11, 2001.  Pearl Harbor, the sequel, erupted on September 11, 2001 when hijacked planes destroyed the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and parts of the west wing of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.  Borders into the United States were closed and the FAA

Concentration of Iron in an Unknown Substance Jack Boswell Experiment 5 Megan Otting and Dr. Caster Introduction: The objective of this lab was to determine the concentration of iron (Fe+2) in an unknown substance using a spectrophotometer. Spectrophotometry is a process that uses a sample solution to determine how much light a chemical substance absorbs by measuring the intensity of a beam of light passing through the solution. Every substance transmits light over a specific wavelength range

Straight Out of Compton maintained a militant ambiance throughout the film. Felix Gary Gray uses the perspective of a news caster, as well as reaction shots of the members of NWA to display African Americans reaction to the Rodney King trial in 1992. After this scene in the movie, the rest of the film carries an understanding of the dynamic between law enforcement and the urban
