(Environment Canterbury, 2015). Finally, Ron Pellow (personal communication, April 2, 2016), said that farmers may need to look at different strategies to achieve the nitrogen loss limits.

Mama drove her blue Valiant, rattle-trap car up the U-shaped driveway. There were roses in the arc, red, coral and pink. Roses, not tight-budded roses, but rather old fashioned, having loose and simple petals, resembling Dogwood flowers more than the orderly roses in my mother’s garden.

Momma kept her car running, as I along with my two older brothers, Randy and Roger disembarked; suit…

I could not image the performance by these kids born in Minnesota, U.S dancing and following the rhythms of the traditional dance music from where their parents come from so well as if they were born…

In reading world literature, it becomes abundantly clear that the reality of women being subjected to different and sometimes harsh treatment by society is not a regional or even a national truth. It is a theme that is extended from the beginning of time until present day in literary works. While there are many examples of this truth, Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl” is exceptionally poignant. Kincaid’s careful use of form and character identities work in perfect tandem to convey the truths of human…

On a saturday afternoon, visiting the Pacific Asia Museum as I walked in I have noticed how small the place is but there is an amazing amount of variety of art collection.
