So when the Nazis and Soviets occupied Estonia and forced the already small population to either endure the horrors of imprisonment, concentration camps and hard labor, or to scatter and flee, one of the only things that the people of Estonia could take with them…

As a law enforcement officer, your duty is to protect and serve the people whom you are entrusted in your city or neighborhood. This duty is of utmost importance and provides a sense of security for all the people who don't make the best law-abiding decisions.

Imagine for a moment if seeing a law enforcement officer struck fear into your heart, not from getting a ticket because you…

This little primate is known to go into a state of hibernation, a physiological state of inactivity and metabolic depression in mammals where body temperature, metabolic rate—including breathing and heartbeat—slow down.

During World War II, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis declared that Jewish people were a virus that needed to be eliminated. This insane belief led to the Holocaust, where over six million Jews were stripped away from their homes, forced into internment and concentration camps, and slaughtered. The horror that came from the deaths of millions of innocent Jews left people outraged that such a tragedy could happen, and the monsters that caused it didn’t pay enough. Most people were too scared to fight…

Could there be anything more twisted than these Holocaust fantasists? How more and more people are making up memoirs about witnessing Nazi crimes. With the rise of Hitler to power in 1933 Jews faced the final test in the registers of human suffering. The reason for their difficulty was the Nazis racism. The Jews were seen as a mistake of nature. They were labeled as misfits, foreigners and stateless, who should be exterminated for the betterment of the Aryan nation.When Hitler came to power in…

For-profit prison are believed to have started in Amsterdam and Hamburg in seventeenth century. These prisons profited by charging a fee for admittance, discharge, food, water, and lodging.

Twenty-six years later California had an influx of crime and could not manage so they leased their prisons to two businesses for ten years. Fast forward…

LIFE AFTER THE BEATLES After the breakup of The Beatles, Lennon expected to feel free and liberated but felt the opposite. Lennon, with the encouragement of Yoko Ono, turned to “primal scream therapy,” where he relived traumatic moments of his childhood and relieved the tension that built up through screaming and crying. Lennon later said, “I’m not bitter anymore . . . I meditate and I cry” (Corbin 99). Lennon and Yoko Ono had a falling out in 1973, when she forced Lennon to move out. Lennon…

BBRT aims to change San Francisco’s travel pattern from driving to walking, bicycling and transit. However, there are still about 350,000 private vehicles in the city. Even they are not using as usual; they are a huge potential emission source. PEVSP is a way to replace these existing internal combustion vehicles to…

I can remember learning to read as early as kindergarten, but before that, I was able to memorize repetitive words in children’s book or words that were a sing along. My mother taught me how to read. She would act out the words in the sentence like a scene in a movie. At first I wanted only to look at the pictures because the images conveyed so much meaning. I would take time to stare at the illustrations so I could try to determine what the sentence on the page was about, but my vocabulary was…
