    The documentary ‘Zombie: Haiti’s Longstanding Tradition’ (Zombie: Haiti’s Longstanding Tradition, 2005) contained information regarding the original Haitian version of Zombies and how they are created. Some other things also featured in this film include how “zombie powder” is made, how people are brought back from the brink of death, and how people are forced to become these “zombies” so that people may use them as slaves.

On July 30th of 1945, at 4 minutes past midnight, on the route between Guam and Leyte Gulf, known as “Convoy Route Peddie,” the ship was hit by two of the six torpedoes that were fired at it by the I-58, a Japanese submarine.

Community leaders have to research and find brokers and economic developers to help their town to grow and flourish. This allows those brokers and developers to grow their assets and the community to grow in ways they could of never imagined.…

    My favorite show has to be the Walking Dead. I started watching the Walking Dead in the middle of season one, no matter what Caleb says, I started watching it earlier than whatever he tells you.
