a fellow he'd just got done fighting.” We soon find out towards the end of the book that he doesn't care about the action figure anymore. On page 293 he says "after that a present was almost beside the point, but I opened it anyway. It was the Spartacus model with one hand.” The action figure having one hand represents that Reuben has moved on.

dashboard should be easily read at a glance, and encourage action. Determining the audience and their needs is the first fundamental dashboard design principle. It is paramount to understand who will use the dashboard and what the most important metrics that will lead to the action.

For an electron, the journey from terminal to terminal is not a direct route. Rather, it is a zigzag path which results from countless collisions with fixed atoms within the conducting material. The electrons encounter resistance - a hindrance to their movement. While the electric potential difference established…

Epistemology and Contemporary Methodologies in English teaching Characterized by frequent change and innovation, the foundation of contemporary language teaching was developed during the early part of the twentieth century, as applied linguists as others pursued to build principles and procedures for the design of teaching methods and materials (RICHARDS; RODGERS, 2014, p. 1).

Governmental control is placed “in the hands of the people themselves”, assuming that the public is well informed to “make wise decisions on political matters, whether through referenda, town meetings, citizen initiatives, or other direct means” (Dalton, et al.). In this essay I will be discussing the positives and negatives of a direct…
