It had been exactly 20 years since Laura made the worst mistake of her life. When she turned on Rachel. It didn’t make her fit in, it only lasted a week. Then she was the victim again.

Octavia was identical to her mother. Her father left when she was six years old, but they are good. Laura is writing in the…

people who lived on the islands have had a culture that extended from the Polynesian islands to the western and southern edges of Asia. They respected the land, ocean, and everything that it provided. Their religion is polytheistic, which means they believe in many gods. Behind the beautiful scenery of islands, there is a whole culture that many people are unknown to. The culture is full of legends and myths about their gods and how the islands came to be. The islands are volcanic rock…

1.0 Introduction Data collection on Bruny Island yielded several readings associated with climate, topography, and GPS. These readings have been analysed using visual techniques before refining to report on the reasoning behind the different trends in the datasets. As Bruny Island experiences (a general) North-Westerly wind direction, it became evident that vegetation and the topography of one sand dune transect would impose an effect on the recorded wind speed (or velocity) readings. The…

Much of Hawaiian culture has been adopted through the migration of various peoples and their interactions with the Polynesians, the islands’ prior inhabitants. Culture refers to an ordered system of beliefs, expressive symbols, values and knowledge in terms of which groups of individuals define their world, express their feelings, make their judgments, and cope with their environment. Biology is only capable of so much therefore, humans developed culture. Simply stated, culture is learned,…

But the cinema of the body implies also a social gest. We see this in how people react to the monk: sometimes with indifference, but other times they stare, try to interact with him, see him as a performer. We are not the only seers in the film, the people in it are voyeurs of something they do and see everyday (walking), but the fact that the monk’s walking is at a different temporality breaks the sensory motor link and affects us: makes us think the unthought. The ceremonialization of the body…

2. TERRITORIAL WATERS Article 2(1) of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)48 provides that, “[t]he sovereignty of a coastal State ex-tends, beyond its land territorial and internal waters and, in the case of an archipelagic State, its archipelagic waters, to an adjacent belt of sea, described as the territorial sea”. This maritime zone extends up to 12 nautical miles (Article 3, UNCLOS). The only major exception to this sovereign power of the state is the right of…

Prior to the UNI Career Fair, I did some research on the University website to try to figure out which booths I was interested in visiting. The Lutheran Services in Iowa booth wasn’t one that was particularly on my list. This company is a non-profit organization that helps people who are struggling to parent children with behavioral or mental health issues. I wasn’t exactly sure what Lutheran Services In Iowa was all about until I walked past their station, and saw words on a poster saying “help…

Ellis Island, located in New York Harbor, was the largest immigration station in America. It was created in response to the nation’s growing concerns of the unmanaged influx of immigrants and to handle the immorality and the nepotism that bogged down the entire system, as shown at the Castle Garden station. Ellis Island changed the lives of many Americans and immigrants alike and set a new course of American history. Ellis Island was owned by Samuel Ellis around the American Revolution, but…
