It wasn’t until 2000, when they broke into the mainstream music scene in the U.S. and Canada. The band was created by the Kroeger brothers, Chad (the leader and vocalist) and Mike (the bassett). The Kroeger brothers always dreamed of a life of Rock and Roll. To complete the band, Ryan Peake, Ryan Vikedal?, and Brandon Kroeger (cousin of…
In the play Fences by August Wilson, the reader is presented the meaning and significance of the title, Fences. Though there is only one physical fence in the play, the title uses the plural form to convey the many fences that are presented literally or figuratively throughout the story. These "fences" create many types of barriers in the play, barriers that create a severance between father and son, husband and wife, and even death and life. The literal fence overlaps into the meaning of the…

I am passionate about sports, specifically hockey and rugby, but I also dabble in curling and skiing. Coaching high school sports teams has been a rewarding…
a discipline to provide, to both his own needs and the immediate needs of his family. Yet certain events of his past were described in a type of vagueness, such as his early childhood, where his father committed heinous acts, and his affair with Alberta, which ultimately caused his marriage to Rose to decay. The finish of "Fences" could also be described in these qualities. Concrete details are observed pertaining to the primary events that occurred on the day of Troy's funeral, and also the…

– 24, insulin.” My heart sank as I entered more values from the second set of data. It was increasingly obvious that there was no discernible difference between the two sets of cells. My first independent task as a member of the University of Alberta Diabetes Institute was to review hundreds of cell images. The cells came from the human pancreas—the Islets of Langerhans—a medieval sounding name that seemed contradictory to their mundanity under a microscope. My task was to quantify the…
How many people die on a roller coaster each year? 50? 100? 200? Shockingly, only fifty-two deaths occurred between 1990 and 2004 (Inquisitr). Amusement parks are actually safer than we think. The chance of an injury or death at an amusement park is extremely low. In fact, according to the International Association of Amusement Park Attractions, only one in every 250 million riders experience a death caused by a ride at an amusement park. The International Association of Amusement Park…
