The China today is still shaped and molded by the memories of the…

The Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 was established to place prohibitions on biological substances if in anyway determined to be used as a weapon, according to Sec 175 (1989). According to Sec. 178 (1989), the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act includes micro-organisms, viruses, infectious substances, toxins, and delivery systems. I see the purpose for this is to level the playing field of what has and can make up a biological weapon. In addition to Sec.178, wire interception…

I think Washburn values diversity because having diversity at a university presents all kinds of thinking and reasoning strategies from different types of students. Also, there are more ways to come up with results and solutions when there is a diverse setting containing students from different backgrounds. In my opinion, I think the most important part of the WU diversity statement is the first sentence that says, “The mission of our diversity initiative is to honor the Washburn University…

. “You are going to help me!” Fezzik screams at the top of his lungs. He has been pounding on the door for what seems like hours. Fezzik knocks on the door with one hand and clutches his blood-pouring side with the other. “Please Miracle Max! If you help me I will pay you what I have and work off what I owe! Please! Please!” “No!” Max says once again. “I am not Miracle Max anymore! I am Max! Just Max!” Fezzik begins to sob. “Please Max! Please!” Fezzick begs as everything goes dark.…

For the Extra Credit assignment, I decided to watch the 1989 documentary on How Hitler Lost the War. The film was directed by David Hoffman and Robert Denny and it was narrated by Norman Rose who himself is known as “the Voice of God” by many critics in his field. Personally, I already watched this film in one of my classes in my time here at Sterling College, so going into it I already had the main goal behind making the picture. The film is based on the facts behind how the Nazis lost World…

However, in Victoria, The Water Act 1989 (Vic) silent in regards to rain water, therefore it may be necessary to include legislative provisions seeking to control rain water collection, use and distribution. Although, it could be possible to categorise rain as a ‘water resource’ and using the purpose of the Water Act claim its equitable and efficient use. However, further clarification and intervention is still needed from the legislature or judiciary in regards to this uncertainty. What…

I agree most of us can relate to Covey's centers (1989). I will also agree with Nicole in that Education is a center that could be added. I think he has done a good job defining areas that most people can relate to, thus reaching out and helping the most amount of people.

This could really just be my thirst for wanting to look deeper,…

If a man with the narcissist personality was to go to a bar and see a beautiful woman, he would most likely do the following.

After she falls into his trap she will soon see that the brilliant man that she was so into is not so charming after all. The…

Waking up alone, without any considerable optimism for the day ahead and lacking close relationships with the people in a new town, it is important to find a place where one can feel free from the struggles surrounding them. This is a daily longing for Fatou, a character from Zadie Smith’s short story “Embassy of Cambodia.” Throughout the story, Fatou frequently faces prejudices and racial inferiority, which later contribute to her feelings of worthlessness and isolation. Although she feels…
