However, it is very useful in cases involving a crime of some kind. It can be used for anything ranging from personal identification through…

Two of the most iconic superheroes, born from DC Comics, are Wonder Woman and Superman. Superman first appeared in DC Comics in 1933. Wonder Woman debuted approximately ten years after, in 1941. They both have evolved over time but remain popular to this day. Most people consider the heroes to be unalike; therefore, parallels between them are seldom made. It is often thought that the commonalities they share are merely vague and minimal. This may be due to their obvious difference of gender;…

Why Americans Should Be Allowed to Own Firearms The first firearms were invented in early 13th century China, when the portable, one person fire lance was combined with an explosive of some type, and projectiles. This new technology spread throughout the rest of Asia, the Middle East and then into Europe.

of rich proprietors, but in the case of the daimyos, they were much more than just aristocrats. The daimyos were very close with Europeans, and that meant that they were close to having the European military technology . Guns and other powerful projectile weapons could prove troublesome for sword wielding samurais. In order for the Tokugawa family to stay in power, they had to be sure to keep the daimyos from getting the military power from the Europeans, keeping any coup d’état from occurring…

If installed correctly and operated properly, MRI exams should pose no outstanding risks to one’s health.

philosopher during ancient Greece, were used as the basis of science. Galileo, in contrast, found several doubtful points about Aristotle’s teaching. For example, “one question that Aristotle had not answered to Galileo’s satisfaction was how a projectile kept moving forward once the initial impetus was gone.” In year 1638, Galileo eventually published his Discorsi, concluding that “a motion does not need a force to keep it up. This fact is concealed by the constant presence around us of…

Being raised on a farm in such a rural area such as Monroe County, West Virginia meant learning how to use a firearm was almost more of a necessity than a passion. However, for myself it happened to be both. I love to hunt all sorts of game such as: deer, squirrel, turkey, and dove to name a few. Hunting all these animals obviously requires the use of several different types and calibers of guns. My dad, a gun enthusiast as well, taught me from a very young age the dangers of a firearm as…
