have been able to meet many people from the gym that I would have never met otherwise. Through the years there have been quite a few people that have come and gone through the gym. Some did not know what to expect and did not like it or people who just didn't like putting in the time to really learn anything and improve. I have also had the opportunity to meet many different people from around the country and even the world from going to different seminars and training camps, none of which I…

After nearly 20 spins, they were beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable. Alfie had both his feet together on the red spots in the corner, his hands on the blue and yellow spots directly in front of his left foot. Dan had his right hand on the red spot directly next to Alfie’s right foot, his other hand free from any spots. His right foot was on the yellow spot next to Alfie’s hand, and his left foot on the green spot in between the two yellow spots where Phil had his feet. Phil was leaning back…

that not have been released to the general public. The show tries to enhance the amazing work done by the CIA. However, it also tries to hide its failures as much as it can. A notion of hiding mistakes can be perceived several times along the show. There is a very powerful moment in the story where one can infer that human errors can happen even within the CIA. For example, when Carrie Madison suspects that long time captive U.S. Marine Nicholas Brody had been turn and therefore she needed to…

To be honest I was a little bit confused by this story. I assumed that because it was set on June 27th 1948 that the story would be about the Berlin Airlift, because that was the day that it opened. But it was really about a small town of around three hundred people on the day of the lottery. every man picks a slip of paper and the one with a black spot on it has to have their entire family draw from the papers, including that of the black spot. whoever has it get’s “stoned.” In the case of this…

Mundell-Fleming Model for Official Intervention Forward Rate Prediction Mundell-Fleming model (1964) is based on crucial assumptions that the spot rates are fixed officially and forward exchange rates are treated as only one rate with the same maturity contract. Considering the forward contract with a forward asset in domestic currency and forward liability with another currency, the increase of forward exchange rate will have the…

It is viewed this way because the heavens are usually viewed as a light, peaceful place, and black, being the opposite of this connotation, immediately lends itself to be viewed as evil. The cat initially seems harmless, and does not harm his rescuer David, but Alexie uses the cat’s dark hue to illustrate the foreboding hardship for the couple. Sharon and David’s relationship would not be the same had the cat not come between them and tainted it. Although the couple ends up living a happy life,…

Perspective, the most powerful thing on earth. A statement of my own so therefore not entirely factual, but true none the less. The very definition of perception is, “The way you think about or understand someone or something (Unknown, 2016)”. Is this not the very thing that causes us to take sides in conflict or to act on something that doesn’t seem right? We are not born with the understanding that “White is Right” we are taught this from a very young age by our predecessors; our parents, our…

United States, especially with the increase of gun related violence in recent years. In this analysis I will be comparing and contrasting two political cartoons with opposing views concerning America’s gun politics. The first political cartoon that I have chosen to analyse was created by David Horsey and published in Hearst Newspapers in 2011. This cartoon is colored, and divided horizontally into two frames.
