Throughout his time of service, he made a significant impact…

That was how he wanted everyone else to view the illness as as well, always making sure they knew that it would get better one day. Moreover, Williams grew up without his parents around a lot, so whenever they would come home, he would make it his duty for them to be happy. He has stated that, “Not only was the maid very funny and witty, but when my mother came home I'd use…

October Wednesday in Pillager, MN. Eli was awoken from his deep slumber by his Dad at 9:00 am, just like every other day of the week.

Decision making is something that we do every day. It’s something that’s so habitual that we don’t even think about it. I know I never really thought about it until reading into how it’s done and what affects our decision. During Memorial Day weekend, I used System 2 decision making. This is a more conscious and logical method than system 1. When I went shopping to get new shoes, my sister told me that Payless had a “buy one get one half off” sale for memorial day weekend. I knew that Payless…

Shouldn’t The Gap Decrease With Age? The gap also increases with age. Younger men and women pay gaps are closer together and expand further apart as women get older. Ages 18 to 24 the gap is at 88%, at age 25 to 34 it lessens to an 86% difference, and after age 35 the gap closes to 76% of what men earn (consequences for women). Why would the gap widen with age, when the gap should close because of experience gained? This is because of what people would called the “mommy penalty”. The mommy…
