Nassau

It has been reported that at least 190 Nassau County residents have died last year due to heroin and prescription painkiller overdoses. Heroin is known to be a very addictive drug because it is a painkiller that enters the brain very quickly, and therefore gives fast results. The majority of people in our society like instant gratification. Heroin is a highly addictive synthetic (made of chemicals) opiate drug. It is made from morphine which is taken from an opiate poppy plant. Heroin can be…

education just wasn’t for me which led to me dropping all of my courses and entering the work force. I quickly learned that the life I was living, being a full time employee for Apple Inc. wasn’t what I wanted as a career and I choose to return to Nassau. Luckily my current employer, Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, has been extremely supportive and accommodating…

through different types of cities such as Freeport and Nassau. I enjoyed seeing the sites, going to little shops, looking at all the views Bahamas had to offer, and learning the diverse cultures. The Bahamas offered a few amazing attractions and events while we were there. We did family activities such as boating riding, fishing, seeing the dolphins, and taking tours around a few cities. The food we had made different in almost every city. In Nassau we had a nice variety of different foods from…

As the Spitfire neared the port city of Nassau, its pristine, white sandy beaches along the coastline sparkled brilliantly in the late afternoon sun. Thomas had decided to check in and see if he could form an alliance there for trade purposes. The Captain had avoided Nassau during the years Thomas sailed with him, stating that most of the trading ventures there was still run by filthy profiteers that would just as soon gut you and take what you had to offer, as to do legitimate business with…

difficulties in the body’s ability to perform natural movements. Fibrodysplasia Ossification Progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant disease in which the muscles, ligaments, and tendons progressively transform into bone (Kaplan, Nassau, & Shore, 2014). This formation of new bone forms outside the natural skeleton structure (See figure 2, Page 6), making this excess bone completely unnecessary and therefore harmful. Despite Fibrodysplasia Ossification Progressiva only occurs in…

The Monarchy of the Netherlands The monarchy of the Netherlands is a very young monarchy. It’s a constitutional monarchy and has been since it’s independence. The Netherlands has been ruled by the House of Orange-Nassau since then. The kingdom has evolved well due to the success of the monarchy. The monarchy itself is very effective due to the governmental system it works off of. So far the country has been mostly a neutral country, by not getting involved in world affairs. However, that…

One year ago I went on a cruise to the Bahamas, to Freeport and Nassau. They were both very beautiful and amazing places. My parents, having been to Jamaica, said that Nassau and Freeport didn’t even compare to the beautiful water and beaches of Jamaica. They said that your eyes are captivated by the gorgeous exotice plant life and the colors of birds. The smell of the ocean hits your nose and the warmth of the sun immediately touches your skin. They described the amazing hidden waterfalls and…

When people think of pirates they think often think of the phrases; Avast! Walk the plank! Me hearty! and most famously Aargh! Truthfully though pirates did not often say any of these phrases, well except for maybe aargh, this is just how the media, and pop culture has portrayed pirates. Real pirates are nothing like what we see in most forms of media, that is except for the case of the game; Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. Black Flag very accurately depicts the lives of pirates during the…

The famous pirate Charles Vane was known to be one of the cruelest and selfish captain and crewmate in all of history. He would torture the majority of his prisoner after looting, and sometimes crew members just for a laugh. Charles was born an English seaman on an unknown date in 1680 in England. Another thing he also never shared was his early life. Although, his piracy began in 1716 and he mainly explored the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Sometime between 1701 and 1714, he…

full-fledged huntress. She and her new partner, a renegade called Fade, are sent on a 5-day reconnaissance mission to find out why the Freaks are acting irregularly and what happened to the Nassau Enclave. They return with ancient relics, a possible new trade route, and information that the Freaks have overrun Nassau. I am reading Enclave by Ann Aguirre. In this journal I will be evaluating three objects and how they are important in representing the setting of the book. The objects are Deuce’s…
