Duct tape

Child Abuse Epidemic In January, officers responded to the scene of a crime in Mesa, Arizona. Here, they found a three-year-old child stuffed in a garbage bag in a closet and surrounded by feces. Her mouth, arms, hands and legs were tied with duct tape. The young girl was malnourished and had been offered to men for sex. Her small, helpless body was abundant in blisters, scars and bruises. What did that innocent baby girl have to endure for the three years before someone finally said something?…

From the few beach trips in the past 17 years, seeing garbage ruined the relaxation. Thinking thoughts of how people could possibly litter by the shore or all the sewage being dumped into the ocean. These problems date back to the Industrial Evolution for more technology was being created to speed up and increase production. The first negative pollution was the smog created from burning coal in the 18th and 19th century. Just like air pollution, our water has been faced with a similar issue.…

Shortly after I had turned seventeen years I learned a valuable lesson that I would carry on for the rest of my life. I learned that a dream can be turned into a nightmare if you choose instantaneous gratification over delayed gratification. Most people have something they dream of owning and in my case, it was a Honda CRX. I first saw this car when I was fourteen years old and I knew I had to have one. I had been seventeen for a little more than a month when I totaled my first car, a 2003 GMC…

Our Revolution If they would have just left us alone, this wouldn't have happened. I am Behnam Abedini. I’m 21, and I was a student at an Iranian school in Tehran . It all started in the year 1908. My grandfather constantly told me stories about the oil reserves that were found in the Persian Gulf. We had oil, but not enough money to extract and refine the oil. The big bucks British did though. They were given a lot of profit from this and had the freedom to extract all the Iranian oil that…

driving even more coverage on national morning news and local news. Every news channel in the world covered the verdict of the Casey Anthony case when she was found not guilty for murdering her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, with chloroform and duct tape. Twitter users were angry about Casey Anthony being found not guilty. The Casey Anthony and O.J. Simpson case social reactions were the same because they both had major media coverage and both caused anger to the public because both Anthony and…

Elibhe “Elly” Francis-Thrift (formally the superhero Jammer) is super strong when she’s in pain, which makes her a C-lister by necessity. Despite being too vulnerable at the start of a fight to wade in, Elly never gives up, which is probably the attribute that’s got her into the most trouble at the start of Starfall. At 29, freshly widowed, Elly just became the prime suspect in her husband’s brutal murder. Running from arrest doesn’t help much, but how else is she going to clear her name when…

etting your drivers license, it’s as American as apple pie or baseball, the goal of every red blooded boy, and the ultimate right of passage from boyhood to young adult. That overwhelming sense of pride seemed to deflate a little when I filled the tank on my 1999 Nissan frontier for the first time. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the total $40. This shocking experience not only scared me for life but also made me determined to find a cheaper way to fuel my truck. That is where I found…

Ariel Castro did not stop there and in April of 2003, he spotted Amanda Berry, age 16. She was walking home from work when she encountered a vehicle in a driveway. She saw a man and his daughter in the van and thought she recognized the girl. A little while later, she noticed that the van had started to follow her down the street. That is when the man inside asked her if she needed a ride home. He was alone, but she replied with a yes anyway. Ariel Castro was the father of a classmate from…

The last frontier. There are over 125 billion galaxies (Bond). And out of countless of planets, only 1 can hold life? Well, we couldn't tell you if there are any other planets with life out there because we have only explored less than .5 percent of space. This is truly why space is truly the last frontier and will because of NASA’s mediocre funding. The Space Race didn't just prove that the United states can do anything we put our minds too. It also proved that NASA’s job goes way beyond just…

in your classroom I feel as though these tips and guidelines are beneficial. When I set up my classroom I will begin by ensuring that all of the stations are adequately sectioned off so that the purpose is clear. I think I will do this by getting duct tape and taping the floors, that way you can tell the students that the material in this station shouldn’t cross the line on the floor and be taken into the other station. I will also be sure to include either sensory materials in each station or…
