I imagine James Still in his little shack with his typewriter and a big burden on his heart. Now, I’m sure he had more than one burden, but I can’t help but notice all the descriptions of the physical beauty of Appalachia. So, I think one of those burdens must have been planting a love for his home in the heart of his readers.

In the city, you either paid your electric, paid for coal, or froze all winter long in your house. In the country, they could take the corn husks that some of the farmers grew to burn those. Many people in the city did not even have any way of attempting to warm themselves because they had lost their jobs, lost their ability to pay rent, and had been thrown to the curb. The Great…

She was a woman who was extremely gentle with anything or anyone…

Perfect to a point that I could never reach. So perfect that it’s set ups anyone afterword to fail, so perfect that it makes everything else look like a failure. I’m so still and silent from the terror right in front of me that I am as hollow as a husk. I fall into a deep depression watching this… thing clean everything so perfectly. I’d never amount to what it’s doing. It’s so incredible. Not a single mistake. Not a single piece of dust, no stains, no crumbs, nothing. Just a clean room like it…

value addition and efficient utilization of nutritionally rich agro-industrial residues have been gaining attention around the world. Several industrial residues, such as whey, sugar beet pulp, cassava bagasse, apple pomace, citrus waste, coffee pulp/husk, etc., have been studied as model system. They are either used as microbial substrates in fermentation or are subjected to the extraction of bioactive molecules1-4. Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) pomace is a solid by-product from juice and…

Solitude At one point in anyone’s life, no matter how much friends ones have or how deep ones relationships with their love ones are, loneliness is inevitable. Now, how anyone deal with it are different. As for Mark Strand, the poet, he developed this feeling of solitude and integrated it with in his poems, using it as a theme and represent it from three different perspectives in three of his poems: “Lines for the winner”, “Keeping things whole” and “The Remains.” In the first poem "Lines for…

willing to kill King Duncan to place himself in a position of power. In the end of the play, he is defeated, a broken man who has nothing left, throwing himself at Macduff in a final act of desperation. The loss of his wife leaves him broken, an empty husk of the leader he once was, making him feel like he truly has no one to turn to. With an army marching at his doorstep, he has lost the battle before it has…

Another cornerstone of balanced holistic living is internal cleansing. It is a very important step toward improved metabolic functioning and better health and overall well-being. In our modern- day lifestyle, we are constantly exposed to toxins in our food such as pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, additives, preservatives, and synthetic hormones. There are also toxins in the water we drink and the air we breathe. Also, taking large amounts of medication throws liver metabolism out of balance…

The Seven Years’ War was one that had two imperialist superpowers engaged in battle over territory in North America.

I was a “zombie” for “The Walking Dead” I remember the day I first “discovered” Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead” as if it happened today. I heard about the show through commercials, social media, and from friends, but it never really captured my full interest because it seemed like a generic zombie action movie, and I’ve already seen plenty of those. Anyway, one day, while playing on my PS3, I found myself bored out of my mind because none of my friends were available and I didn’t have…
