Over time, this has created a large trade deficit with China which is roughly $1.1 billion in total, as the DPRK…

Drilling successfully into a creek near Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1859, George Bissell and Edwin L. Drake had miraculously unearthed the now indispensable substance known as petroleum, opening the gates to a world never seen before. Ever since that date, oil has been in the vanguard of innovation, powering homes, cars and asserting itself as the chief resource that helps countries function. At a torrid pace, oil mining was becoming not only lucrative, but a necessity, and thus began a global…

INTRODUCTION Background Invasive species are defined as non-native species that invade ecosystems and propagate to a point where harm is induced on native species. Types and abundance of harm caused to native ecosystems can vary greatly depending on various biotic and abiotic factors. Although the amount of accredited research devoted to aquatic invasive species (AIS) doesn’t reach far beyond the past few decades, the natural history of invasive species surely does (Pysek, 2010). A great deal…

War has always been a controversial issue in the United States. For a war to get public approval, the government has to successfully justify the war and lay out a clear plan for its quick and honorable end. Most wars have been justified as being for the defense of the United States or its interests. Prior to and including World War II, if the President decided that war was needed, he would ask Congress for an official declaration of war. This process is enumerated in Article 1, Section 8 of the…

This not only led to Australia’s ratification of the Kyoto Protocol (as part of Prime Minister Paul Rudd’s election promise), but more importantly, signaled the beginning of an ensuing catastrophe our man of the hour, Greg Hunt, would eventually be relied upon to solve. The policy he would ultimately come to devise…

During the interwar period of 1919 to 1939, the European political arena witnessed a radical change in governmental organization. Historically this period has been defined by authoritarian Fascism and Nazism. In fact, Gino Germani a professor at the University of Buenos Aires hypothesizes that the structural tension inherent in all modern society between growing secularization and the necessity of maintaining a nationalist centred government was sufficient for the integration of causal factor in…

The new President continued to try to initiate joint construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway that had been promoted by previous administrations with the Canadians. Another of the initiatives that Eisenhower took was the "New Look" defense program. In this program the budget of the United States Army would be cut back. The funds that were cut would be given to the Air Force and to the Navy to be spent on developing a larger nuclear arsenal and air power to deliver the weapons. This plan was…

radiology, it has been noted that an alarming dose of radiation can be administered to a patient, in a single scan, without having to repeat a procedure. With the evolution of radiography, interventional radiology has become a norm in the diagnosis protocol and it is therefore important to understand the concept of interventional radiology, along with the radiation protection that follows it. According to Kessel (2013:1), interventional radiology is a special technique that exercises the use of…
