Residents are given more opportunities and better care than ever before according to the workers I talked to from these facilities. Both Nursing homes and Assisted…

Elderly Abuse Abuse is a serious crime that happens every day, but little do many realize that there is such a thing called elderly abuse among us. We tend to think that the staff and the elderly patients in the facilities, as we call them residents, wouldn’t create any harmful attacks on a resident that one may love the most. There are multiple types of abuse such as physical, sexual, neglect, financial, and emotional. Any type of these abuses can cause a resident to become depressed and make…

The coaches game plan and their strategy to score against opponents were not favorable by a team’s fan base. Barry Bonds, with the help of a couple other notable home run hitters, reeled in fans across the nation to watch them play and hit home runs. On a baseball team’s line up for batting, the fourth hitting spot in the lineup of nine was designated for the most powerful hitter on the roster.

Max was too quick. Also we had a pheasant that we kicked up right next to us and it was freighting but it was a hen so I couldn’t shoot in even if I didn’t get scared by it’s wings powerfully flapping. My dad wasn’t going to let me go home empty-handed. On the way home, we hit some gravel roads and look in the ditch. My dad, brother and I went out and found a pheasant so we were on the opposite side of the ditch. I was determined to get this one. My dad whispered “3...2...1 GO!” We sprinted up…

Catchers should have the right to block the plate. If a catcher was to guard the plate with his body before the rule was made he would get the runner out if he holds onto the ball. Now if a catcher barely blocks a sliding lane it is an obstruction call and he would be safe even if he tags the runner out. The rule states that the catcher is not allowed to block the plate without giving the runner a lane otherwise it is obstruction. If the runner hits the catcher or doesn’t slide when it is a…
