Invasive Species: Garlic Mustard An invasive species can be defined as any organism (including the organism’s seeds or eggs) that is not native to an area, but if introduced, can cause harm to the environment, economy, or to humans. These invasive species are usually introduced by humans either intentionally or accidentally and can very quickly and aggressively reproduce and take over an area. Plants that are considered to be invasive have certain characteristics in common that makes them…

On February sixth, a violent murder occurred at the dark and gloomy Peacock Mansion. Mr. Colonel George Mustard had been creepily ambushing Angelina Scarlet and Kimberly-Rose Peacock. Colonel said to himself as he was walking out of the automobile "I shadow them for one extraordinary reason money." The Colonel appeared to be 6ft. 9, 65 years old, and 250 pounds with mustard yellow eyes." His outstretched and bulky appearance haunts me sometimes, I wonder what his fantastic generalization is for…

completely change the way the parables are read. In the mustard seed parable, Matthew, Mark, Luke and Thomas all have the same essence, but the different expressions make them very distinctive. Through comparing the similarities in differences between these four Gospels, it can be deducted that similar sources and references were used in constructing the parable. The first comparison can be made between arguably the most similar writings of the mustard seed parable, Matthew and Mark. In…

The parable of the mustard seed is one seen throughout the Gospels. In this parable, the kingdom of God is represented by a mustard seed. This particular seed is one of the smallest seeds in the world, but it grows into a large tree. This parallel is used to show that we, although sometimes not very significant or good just like the seed, can be grown into a prospering Christian, and the kingdom of God can grow in us in the same manner. An alternate of this parable is the parable of the yeast,…

Mustard Gas, in World War I, was called the King of Battle Gases because it caused more battle causalities, as in injuries that took them out of the war and some deaths, than all of the other chemical agents used in that Great War (Everts, n.d.). This synthetic agent had an innocent beginning but rapidly became something the world rallied around to ban due to its harmful effects. In 1886 Victor Meyer first discovered the harmful effects of (ClCH2CH2)2S or what would later become known as Mustard…

The mustard yellow truck had been trudging through the cold wintery air for 3 days and it had finally arrived in its final destination. It had been through hell and back, but it had finished its quest. “Hey at least you’ll get to see the snow now bud!” said my Dad. “I suppose you’re right but we could’ve always just gone to the mountains back home.” “Just give this place a try, son. Maybe you’ll learn to love it.” “Yeah, I highly doubt that one, but I appreciate the effort, Dad.” In that moment…

causes of death worldwide. As of 2012, there were 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer-related deaths worldwide” (Cancer Statistics, National Cancer Institute). Cancer was a very widespread disease during World War I due to the use of mustard gas. Mustard gas was a common war weapon, for it was very cruel and had a high fatality rate; this gas is extremely poisonous and caused a cancer epidemic due to the way it attacked the respiratory system. Exposure to this gas was fatal since it…

Is there still bravery among humanity? Do people still possess such? When can you say one is brave enough to face life? Are there any specific things that can prove that one can be called brave? Are you one of them? Bravery or being brave is often seen as an act of being strong enough to face any challenges that awaits us. We see people as brave when they are more than willing to sacrifice. We associate the act of being brave to being a hero. Brave is not merely an action itself, but it is more…

the gas useless. Another form of gaseous weaponry was mustard gas. Mustard gas was far more effective and dangerous than chlorine gas was. Mustard gas was so powerful that only a very small amount had to be added to bombing shells to work. Mustard gas’s effects took at least 12 hours to show but the affects included: blisters on the skin, vomiting, internal and external bleeding, and other harsh symptoms. Once a soldier contracted mustard gas poisoning it was very unlikely they were to live.…
