Younger Dryas

Younger Dryas Climate Event Occurring about 12,800 years ago, The Younger Dryas Climate Event was an abrupt climate change that dropped the Earth temperature by about 10 degrees, bringing dry winds (“Abrupt Climate Change”, 2003). This event followed a warming trend that had resulted in glacier melting. As the melting water filtered down the Mississippi and into the Gulf of Mexico, its route suddenly diverted, carrying the water east into the Atlantic Ocean. This change in the water path disrupted

sheets also caused water to rise, and subsequently change not only the structure of the land, but the plant life as well. As the hunter-gatherers adjusted to these changes in their environment, another climactic event ensued called the Younger Dryas. The Younger Dryas was a dramatic, and brief return to the cooler, dryer climate experienced as the Last Glacial Maximum was ending. The general thinking is that this phenomenon occurred due to very cold

The area of which I decided to focus on was specifically parts of Scotland which were eroded and shaped but the effects of the Younger Dryas. This period of glacial activity occurred around 10,800-10,600 BP and was the last great real push of ice activity in the British Isles starting around loch Lomond and fanning out across Scotland. The ice itself covered a large part of Britain as lowered temperatures of around 2- 6 degrees Celsius allowed the ice to remain, locking in large amounts of sea water

were born to Fenella, a strikingly beautiful woman. Fenella was married to Wallace, Laird of Inverness and the father of Efie. He fell ill one day and withered in a week due to a mysterious disease. The Lair was soon succeeded by Derek, Wallace’s younger brother. Love blossomed between Fenella and Derek, something which did not come as a surprise to the members of the clan. Soon their union bore Fenella another daughter whom she named Colina. But 3 years after Colina’s birth, Derek was plagued with

He began to provide for his family by making dinner, babysitting, helping his siblings with with homework, teaching morals, and much more. Austin, his younger brother, who is now a freshman in high school, told me, “Jacob is always there for me whether it’s academic help, a girl problem, or athletic improvement. I look up to him and am so glad to have him.” Since he had to be the caretaker for the family

Agrippina, more commonly known as Agrippina the Younger, had an impeccable pedigree, along with great ambition that helped her dominate the political world of her time. She was born into a Julio-Claudian family background that shaped and influenced the woman Agrippina the Younger became. Throughout her life her actions and ambitions were heavily critiqued as they went against the social norms and expected role of women of her time. Motivation: Agrippina the Younger found inspiration and motivation from her

The Juggler “I want to believe in faith and risk and a world where you can stand beneath the grey October sky and flash your own colours through the air like a magician” (218 -221, p. 6). These beautiful lines constitute the final conclusion of the short story, “The Juggler”, written by Ursula Hegi and published in 2001. The story deals with themes such as beauty, letting go and being stuck in the past. The short story takes place in Coeur d’ Alene in the first weekend of October. An unnamed

Introduction Over the course of human history every society, even the most culturally isolated of civilizations, has developed some form of faith-system for interpreting and understanding the spiritual and material worlds. Thousands of such systems have existed over the centuries, and as tribes and cultures expanded, these faith-systems inevitably met each other face-to-face and clashed. Two thousand years ago there was a particularly important collision; one between the Roman stoic and

Franks Casket and Beowulf   Runic inscriptions have been found not only in Anglo-Saxon poetry but also in archaeologicial discoveries like the Clermont or Franks casket.
