To the northwest of the Wastelands lies a shattered neighborhood originally a warehouse district. No longer visible are the street grids parallel and perpendicular to one another. The bars, nightclubs, restaurants, and residential lofts, have become infested with creatures performing camouflage defenses. Suburban neighborhoods had become dwelling grounds for the lower, less dominates species. A Caucasian male ventures through the ruins of a neighborhood mounted on a biped,…
Health Insurance, the word gives many people including me an instant headache. There are so many options, opinions, plan sizes, and restrictions that even someone with a PHD could easily get confused and frustrated. The book Personal Finance defines Health care as a form of protection to alleviate the finical burdens individuals suffer from illness or injury. In the following paper I will explain why healthcare insurance may not be the best option for every Americans and why a Christian…
Luke Arakelian- Murder Billy Kodastin was a farmer. Now he is a murderer. This is his story. He crept silently up the stairs. They were creaky stairs, but he knew all of the spots to step, as he had been up these stair many times. The long bladed knife rested in his right hand, 7 inches of pure terror and death. He opened the door and the old man sat up, alert. The man with the knife dropped to the floor. The old man call out, “Who’s there?”. The knife flashed in deadly pinwheel though the…
countries, are nothing but modern day slavery, and actually hurt the people in the countries. Capitalism without globalization I contend, has outgrown the United States because the biggest institution that helped the United States become an economic behemoth was slavery. Without slavery, capitalist will seek to fill its void, which is labor that cost next to nothing that in third world countries, this is evident in policies such as NAFTA and the proposed TPP agreement. Globalization which goes…
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the businesses, which employ less than 250 persons. Though they are largely unstructured businesses, they interestingly, account for the lion’s share of the workforce in virtually every economy. To a large extent, they are usually sole-proprietorship businesses, especially at the micro and small levels. Due to their small sizes, the large labour they employ, the ease of starting up and speed of adaptation to emerging trends and consumer tastes, SMEs…
There’s a monster in my closet! What is fear? This abstract word is, by definition, “the unpleasant feeling of distress aroused by impending danger, pain, evil, etc” (The American heritage). The stimulus of fight or flight accompanies this; it causes our pupils to dilate to help us see, engulfs us with adrenaline to ready us for action and at the same time, paralyzes the muscles of the body rendering it vulnerable. But why...? how can such a feeling compel man to act so defenseless to the point…
5,187 people died due to brain cancer in 2012, and my dad was one of them. One of the souls stolen from this world before their time. The hospital unearthed it in an MRI, dug it out of a tranquil soil. Sitting by his hospital bed, I’m not able to find the forte to look into his eyes, because I’m terrified that I will catch the moment the warm glow in his gaze will be replaced with an emotionless, lifeless stare. It was a long road down to this juncture; each step more ruinous that the last,…
for the wealthy, and on the working class, who can dream big and aspire to the life of Brin. The Google entrepreneur has indeed inspired with his successful example start-up companies like Vulcan, a Seattle company started by the other technology behemoth, Microsoft. Companies like Vulcan are now needed to help supervise and manage the lifestyles of the mega-wealthy. This is a perfect example of how one Russian immigrant redefined an industry. Brin not only redefined lifestyles for the…
everyone benefitted. This was also a time when homologations (requirements of racing cars sold to the public) actually became enforced, letting real race cars and engines be sold to citizens. More importantly, it gave us the muscle car wars. Big block behemoths boasted big power, and with big power comes big responsibility - to lay down fast times. Cars of this era quickly developed into speed machines that were not only top track performers but also street-racing starlets. While no one will…
