Main Supply Route

Like many modestly sized villages in the region, it had formed in a large valley at the convergence of two lines of communication, one being our Main Supply Route (MSR). While generally unremarkable in any other way, the village had a significant and well supported insurgency due to its close proximity (10 kilometers) to Pakistan and that our MSR was also their MSR. As a Rifle Company my unit had taken responsibility of the Assistance Platform (formerly Combat Outpost) that sat on a large hill overlooking the village and both lines of communication. As with many transfers of authority, our Company had inherited several enduring operations in the relieving process. One of those operations, a regularly scheduled and repetitive leadership meeting (Shura) at the village District Center, would be among our first patrols conducted within our new Area of Operation (AO). It was during my Platoon’s…

realizes that her family is being murdered, so she tries to manipulate the Misfit with compliments in order to save herself. She had no concern for her family as neither did the Misfit. The grandmother is the bigger hypocrite in the story considering she only wishes to save herself in a life or death situation. Her values changed completely when being held at a gun point. The misfit sees no good in anyone or anything he does not feel sorry for the family nor does he feel sympathy for the…

Centauri is a large globular cluster with an estimated star count between five and ten million. With a length spanning over 170 light years, this globular cluster is the largest discovered in our galaxy. The stars that comprise the cluster are so densely packed that they are separated on average by only 0.1 light years. In contrast to other globular clusters, Omega Centauri is so different that astronomers suggest the origin of the cluster is a core remnant of another galaxy that was absorbed…

Depending on the newborn star’s size, it could remain in this state for billions or possibly even trillions of years. However, not all stars remain so long in the phase of “childhood”, if you will. Stars will mature into “teenagers” also. This stage is called the main sequence. If the growing cloud has enough mass, the the gas and dust burns even hotter, eventually reaching temperatures to fuse hydrogen into helium. Fusion stabilizes the star by producing an outward pressure that balances with…

and this results in Korotkov’s madness. Also, in chapter seven the reader can see that << [с]вет немедленно померк в коротковских глазах, и пол легонечко качнулся под ногами. >> (Bulgakov, p271) This hyperbole presents the extent of Korotkov’s disorientation. It is not just his mind and vision that are compromised; the character cannot trust his feeling of surroundings either. Furthermore, it could be argues that Korotkov’s misinterpretations only occur in the offices, there are no…

to regulate emotions. There are close ties between the amgydala, psychopathy, and lack of emotion (Bartol, 2011). This concerns Whitman because to shoot down your loving wife and mother along with bystanders had to have taken an absence of emotion and is similar to acts that a sociopath may commit. In multiple mass murder cases it has been found that the perpetrator had something wrong with their brain, suggesting a pattern between defects in the brain and this specific type of crime. The tumor…

Firstly the oral administration being the most common type, which is taken by mouth or by swallowing, is usually in the form of a pill, capsule or liquid. Oral administration is…
