Remember Marinette is Coccinelle Marinette was worried. Adrien was confused. Chloe was annoyed. Mayor Bourgeois was passed out over Adrien’s shoulder. Miraculous! Marinette sipped her drink nervously as she glanced around the room. It had been half an hour since Chloe’s grand Birthday gala had started and she hadn’t let her guard down yet. She took a shuttery breath as she gazed warily at the crowd of people trying to pick out anyone she thought could cause trouble. Plagg had put Nino on standby

Journey of the Wanderer I have never felt such radical emotions. It makes me wonder if any other purposeless wanderers can empathize with my position. There is no home where I belong, nor is there any nomadic reason to travel with my quarters wherever I go. As for my origins, I am still unaware of any childhood memories, or misadventures. For the only path I can now travel is beyond the trees, and across the glittering grass fields reflecting the array of the wondrous moonlight. I found myself

Question to Sharone: I cited pieces of a paragraph and I used (…) to avoid citing what was unnecessary. Is this correct? Jeffrey Sachs (n.d) has many titles like: economist, Professor, author, United Nations advisor, and more. His work in sustainable development led to the creation of his book The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time (2005). This book is very criticized by Professor Easterly (2006), who is also an economist. Firstly, Easterly (2006) criticizes Sachs’ usage of the

Our Rube Goldberg machine starts out with a funnel at the top. Two marbles are placed into the funnel, which contain potential energy. When the marbles go through the funnel they have kinetic energy and enter a wheel and axle. Before the wheel and axle moves it has potential energy, but once the marbles fall into it the wheel contains kinetic energy. From the wheel and axle, the cup containing the marbles is knocked over and the balls fall into an inclined plane. At the top of the inclined plane

Click, clack, bing, bong, ding, blimp, BAAM! That is the sound of a working, overly-complicated, Rube Goldberg machine. What exactly is a Rube Goldberg machine? It is contraption or invention that accomplishes a simple task in a complex way through a series of chain reactions. Rube Goldberg machines chain together simple inter-related events; the final result of one event often serving as the trigger or beginning of the next event. Besides being fun and entertaining, Rube Goldberg machines demonstrate

Small businesses are contrived to give all of their employees health care due to Medicare. Through the terms of ObamaCare, small businesses are compelled into closing their doors because of all the hand outs they have to get to their employees. When small business begin to become more successful and make more money, Medicare takes their profits away and gives it to people who don't really need it. ObamaCare and Medicare have both taught ignorant Americans to not get a job because they can get the

The Welfare System Makes People Dependent One of the many reasons why America is called “The Land of Opportunity” is because its citizens can move up in socio-economic status through hard work and dedication. However, when U.S. citizens fall on hard times, government-established programs offer financial assistance. The history of welfare reform reveals that the question of personal responsibility versus assistance to those in need has been a constant in the debate over welfare. In the 1950s

The probability of a conflict in our lifetime is high if you judge historical trends. We as an intelligence enterprise exercise a fairly new technique of no “cold starts”. We do not in the best of our ability enter a situation without historical, fused, and correlated information on the adversary. This information is introduced through technological based systems to allow for the intelligence analyst time to analyze and exploit. The U.S. Government one of the top users of big data spends

Four and a half billion years ago, the debris and dust left from the formation of the sun coalesced to form our home planet. 3.5 billion years ago, the first living organisms appeared on Earth. About 230 million years ago, Dinosaurs diverged from their Archosaurs ancestors during the middle to late Triassic period. For 160 million years they have dominated our planet. They are dubbed the most successful species to have lived on Earth. However, 65 million years ago, the most recent mass extinction
