In the Autumn of 2009, I received a job offer abroad, working in a remote island nation, just North of Australia, called Papua New Guinea. People often refer to Papua New Guinea as "PNG". The national capital of PNG is a port town, called Port Moresby. Like the country itself, the name of the capital is often condensed to "POM", by indigenous persons.

What’s the difference between a young Hispanic girl and a soldier in the Vietnam War? It sounds like a bad joke with an even worse punchline, but though there may be many true answers to this question, there are more similarities than one might imagine. These similarities can be observed in Sandra Cisneros’ The House on Mango Street and Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried and their main characters, Esperanza and O’Brien, respectively.

Although the Australians eventually pushed back the Japanese in the Battle of Kokoda. They were not always certain to win the war.

The Transition to Parenthood Section 1: The case study Today, in western industrialized nations, the decision whether or not to have children is, as Berk (2004) describes it a “….matter of individual choice” (p.460). This contrasts with many non western nations where what Michaels (1988, cited in Berk, 2004) describes childbearing as, “…an unavoidable cultural demand” (p.460). Research on the New Zealand population suggests that couples are having children at a much later phase of life

In this regard, the United States of America has significantly improvised its approach towards dealing with terrorism. The approach of the U.S. is also justifiable as the United States is the only country that had to face the maximum ramifications caused by terrorism as thousands of people have lost their
The suddenly joined vineyards hold some delightful terroirs. Because the economic domination of the Port trade it is only lately that these have been broadly oppressed to produce premium wines. Table wine has continuously been made here but, with a couple of noteworthy omissions, it has been unattractive stuff, typically badly made from low quality grapes that were leftover to the requirements of Port producers. Numerous factors have united to change this situation. Most significantly, a critical mass
