Gondwana is an ancient supercontinent that existed around 500 million years ago. In fact, Gondwana broke up and eventually created the continents we know today. These continents are known as Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Indian subcontinent. Just because Gondwana eventually created the continents we know today, does not mean that these continents will stay the same forever. Eventually, there will be different arrangements in an extensive history…

Few athletes transcend stardom for a specific sport and become recognized worldwide. The Jumpman, Michael Jordan is idolized for what he represents. In 1885 he stepped on the hardwood under NBA cameras for the first time bringing along with him the now iconic Air Jordan 1 sneaker. Wearing his own brand to win NBA rookie of the year, he quickly ascended with a multitude of NBA successes as an MVP, the defensive player of the year, Olympic gold medalist as well as six NBA championships. With…

My mother, brother and I arrive in the Atlantic City airport after a surprisingly short two hour flight. After dawdling away time by alternating between electronic games and magazine scavenger hunts, or sleeping (in my mother’s case), we were ready to see our timeshare hotel suite. Our destination a half hour away, we climbed into a traditional cab. Our driver provided unintended humor with his strong Jamaican accent. Mom made small talk, inquiring about the city: where to eat, what to do, etc.…

purple queen perennials and structured, emerald-green shrub. Because of its precise pruning, this live oak’s vast, sweeping canopy remains the focal point. 4. AvaMaria04: Despite this park’s extensive foot traffic, the turf remains manicured and plush due to a meticulous mowing, fertilization, and irrigation…

Human Lives 1. No one asked to be born; we are forced into the gift of life. We are born into our lives totally innocent, naked, without the knowledge of how to communicate with others or how to care for ourselves, wrapped in a swaddling blanket and kept warm and cradled with loving arms. In infancy we totally rely on others for our well-being. As time progresses, as our brains and bodies grow, we become more aware of what is happening around us and we learn to interact with our environment and…

Ford Motor Company Introduces the Maverick The Maverick: Ford's Big Idea for a Little Car A loose definition for the term maverick is an independent thinker that blazes their own trail. In 1971, Ford launched their version of a small car with a large engine bay that proudly wore the descriptive moniker. Smaller in statue when compared to the large Ford's of the past they considered it a compact midsize car. Intended as a comfortable four passenger vehicle capable of holding V8 power, it would…

For most people asking for a Capri-Sonne is not a defining moment in their existence, for me that sliver colored squishy pouch of fruit juice with grapes that looked like purple miniature beach balls etched in the middle was the object that lured me into the world of speaking German. I was 2 years old when my mother received a phone call from my father exclaiming that the Army had assigned him to William O. Darby Kaserne and later that month our family, would be uprooted from suburban Seattle…

Naimiah Clark has been with Godiva for about 6 years but it seems that she fails to uphold the basic requirements and work ethics that should be exuded by a worker. There has been countless occasions in which she shows that she lacks respects for fellow coworkers as well as the establishment. On a weekly basis she comes in asking what tasks needs to be done, but yet fails to read the daily tracker that states exactly what needs to be done. Also being with a company for about 6 years she should…

of a million dollars is to create a rough or utilitarian fabric of people who perform menial tasks. The speaker continues by saying the impact is “[a] yawning emblem of Persia cheeked against oak, France, and a sabre”(8-9). This sentence creates a plush and affluent image when an empire such as Persia is mentioned. However the emblems of Persia are carved into oak and cannot be erased. This can be compared to the predictable problems of being wealthy which, too, cannot be erased. These lines of…

Managing to break free from my mother’s grasp, I charged. With arms flailing and chubby legs fluttering beneath me, I was the ferocious two year old rampaging through Costco on a Saturday morning. My mother’s eyes widened in horror as I jettisoned my churro; the cinnamonsugar rocket gracefully sliced its way through the air while I continued my spree. I sprinted through the aisles, looking up in awe at the massive bulk products that towered over me. Overcome with wonder, I wanted to touch and…
