Mascara

king used a minor incident to justify an invasion of Algiers on July 5 which quickly captured the city but did nothing to reduce resistance by Berbers from the interior. France fought two wars against forces led by the Berber leader Abd al-Kader of Mascara (southeast of Oran) in 1832-4 and 1835-1837 without either side prevailing. During a third war with Abd al-Kader in 1840-1841, the French resorted to terror tactics, filling in desert wells and destroying farms. The Moroccan sultan allowed…

The economy today is made up of competition between many businesses. The level of competition between these business is determined by the market structure it’s shaped in. Each competition can be described through one of five market structures: pure competition, monopolistic competition, monopoly, oligopoly, and monopsony. The market structure a business is placed in depends on the amount of buyers and sellers in the market. The novel “The Grapes of Wrath” perfectly illustrates each one of these…

of my body, and I am fed up with all of this. I search my bag, it is sewn of two pieces of carpet, a hippie remnant I bought at a flea market because I thought Neele or Rainer would like it. I find mirror and make-up, and apply yet another coat of mascara, to make my lashes even more spidery. I grimace at my reflection, then I shut the…

I agreed to have dinner with Jake tonight, and I should have been scared or anxious because he was a freaking FBI agent and all, but to my surprise, I wasn't. I was kind of happy and excited about it and I really have no idea why. I kept thinking about him for the last few days, his eyes, his sexy smile, everything. And I had to remind myself each time that if he knew a single thing about me, he would handcuff me and throw me to rot in prison. I also have a great feeling that I was starting to…

Although animal experimentation has provided many benefits, there are alternatives to test toxic substances that may eliminate the cruel use of animals in research. The United States, along with many other countries, have turned to the use of animals in research labs to test human products for hazardous substances. According to the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal, the United States uses about 12 million animals every year making it the biggest conductor of animal experimentation in the world…

The Building of America Through Brutality in the Eyes of the Native American. The Epic event that started annihilation of the Native Americans. This began on a November afternoon in 1519 where Cortez and Bernal Diaz was on an expedition and came across Mexico. It was something that they could never describe or imagine. It was an empire built on extreme intelligence and sophistication by the Native Americans called Aztec Indians. Diaz was dazzled by the experience he…

For my Personal Change Project I decided to partake in Water Conservation, specifically reducing the amount of time I spend taking a shower everyday. As my proposal stated I spend a lot of time in the shower, especially on the weekends because I usually listen to music in the shower. Listening to music in the shower is entertaining and it’s the only place that I can freely sing without my mom having to yell at me saying that I’m a horrible singer. Anyways, the main point is that listening to…

All the great design houses are unveiling their Spring and Fall lines for 2007. While it would be wonderful to be able to drop several thousand dollars on a jacket or skirt, it just isn't feasible for most shoppers when they consider the fact that the garment they buy this season will be out of style next season. It will be the fashion world's equivalent to what your wrap fish in - yesterday's news. Fashion trends and designers are fickle creatures. Sure, whatever you buy this year may be back…

In my last paper, I explored the relationship between the loop jump and the beautiful body, ice skating, and the nation and how that relationship reveals the views of America. However, what I failed to examine in that paper was the threat black bodies pose to the world of sports’ ideals of beauty, rules of perfection and standard of a world class athlete. In this paper I will use the cases of Serena Williams and Surya Bonaly to explore how their bodies and the lines their bodies create…

Over 26 billion animals are used every year for animal testing (Animal Testing). Some would argue that animal testing is helpful to the human life because we have found a lot about what the body looks like inside and how it works. Also, we have found many vaccines against harmful diseases. Woods research states “animal testing has been around for over 2,000 years” (9). Alcmaeno, a Greek scientist in 500 BC found about how eye sight works. Erasistrtus, an Egyptian scientist in 300BC found out…
