“Timothy Wells is guilty of first degree assault Judge Smith.” The jury says confidently. “Yes, he will be imprisoned” Judge Smith replies nodding his head. WAIT… What just happened? What did she inject him with? He said that I was innocent and should not be punished. Questions fill through Timothy’s head all at once, nothing was making sense anymore. I have to find out what is inside that syringe. It has to the substance inside the syringe that made Judge Smith say I am guilty. It must…

In this video, the group starts off seated in a circle passing a balloon to one another. The gentleman sitting next the therapist starts off while trying to throw the balloon at someone, but it misses, and the therapist collects the balloon and returns it to him. He then takes the balloon and rubs it on his head and passes it back to the therapist with his head. The therapist then takes on that movement and maneuvers the balloon behind her back and rolls it off to the next person. Now, the rest…

As previously described, out of the 14 variables tested, 4 were found to have a significant effect on the amount of Eastern Curlews present within each Quadrat. The first variable, the penetrometer resistance was found to have a negative effect on the amount present. This means that the Eastern Curlews had a preference for softer substrate. This can be attributed to how they source their food, which is present in the substrate. The more resistance the substrate has, the harder and more energy…

Eventually, an Iron Curtain (as Winston Churchill described it) fell over the entire continent of Europe and created a rift between the East and the West. In 1949, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France combined their German land to create the Federal Republic of Germany, commonly…

When the West and East Germany reunited 28 years ago, the country was in sense of increased optimism. Connolly in her 2015 news article for the Guardian notes that the then reigning Chancellor Helmut Kohl promised his subjects “flourishing landscapes.” But then how has a reunified Germany faired on 28 years after the collapse of the Berlin wall? The Berlin wall was first constructed overnight on August 12, 1962, following a decision by Walter Ulbricht, the leader of the then East Germany ordered…

A fortified border which spans 155 kilometers separates east and west, communism and democracy, and repression from freedom (Walled In: Germany’s Inner Border). This barrier is known to many as The Berlin Wall. It became a significant symbol that represented all of those things depending on which side of the wall you were on. The events leading up to the building and destruction of the wall were very important to not only the Germans, but also to the whole world. The wall itself was a very…

After the end of World War Two, the newly formed countries of East and West Germany were struggling to create new national identities in the aftermath of the destruction caused by the National Socialist German Workers party and the war. A parallel of the country as a whole, the capital city of Berlin was also split into an East and a West portion controlled by the Soviet Union and the Allies respectively. The close proximity of the East and the West in the same city—a political, economic, and…

The Middle East has the same stuff over there that the rest of the Western world has, but (in some cases) it’s different. They change it, adapt it, and make it their own. In some cases they don’t alter it at all, and keep it in its purest unadulterated form. They value the authenticity of western culture: the good, the bad, and the ugly. An appreciation for American gluttony and beauty at the same time. That’s not to say they won’t vehemently defend their own culture when the two worlds collide.…

The threat that Al Qods and Hezbollah present not only to Israel but do they present a threat to the rest of the world? They are the epitome of a Hybrid Threat to the Middle East and United States interests. Are they the same? Do they have common goals? What exactly are they? The Al Qods are special operations branch to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRG), considered a state actor, I would consider them very similar to our Special Operations branch. They are highly trained,…

power responsibility in Berlin (Harrison 53). Due to economic, political, and social consequences, the Berlin Wall divided Berlin into two very distinctively different cities. East Berlin was ruled under a Soviet communist regime, while West Berlin was ruled under the influence of the Western World. The division between East Germany and West Germany is what Winston Churchill called the “Iron Curtain” that fell across Europe, isolating its…
