Fur has always been the ultimate “fabric of desire”. People around the world have been purchased and favored fur clothes in many centuries ago, but not until recently, the demand for fur clothes are extending higher than ever. According to Robert Burke, founder of the luxury consultancy in New York, “Fur has always been a hot-button issue in fashion, and now more than ever because the consumer has the ability to research and decide for themselves where they want to stand”, he also added up to…

Public Health Problem Severe acute respiratory syndrome also known as SARS was caused by an unfamiliar animal coronavirus that highly took advantage of the “wet markets” in southern China to adapt and succeed as an infectious virus between humans. Hospitals and international travel were the main pathways that led to a local outbreak and eventually to a global scale. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) between November 2002 and July 2003, the outbreak of SARS caused 8,096 cases and…

During the larger part of my childhood, my parents were what was known as “birders” -- amateur yet dedicated ornithologists who, rather than looking at birds, looked for them. They had met in college, both pursuing a degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Management at Frostburg State University. Neither of them ended up in careers related to their major -- my father became a molecular biologist and my mother a school psychologist -- but they did retain their love for the natural world and, more…

Colorado, a land of exploration, attraction and individuality. A place where you can both walk the active city and experience the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Somewhere you can drive through the fascinating architecture of Metro Denver. Somewhere you can sit and observe the glistening bodies of water, the rushing rivers and still lakes. Somewhere you can wander up trails to discover the top of peaks to find yourself with unbelievable views. Somewhere you will experience and never forget…

Arizona is a state in the United States and is located in the southwestern part of the country. The state is to the west of Colorado, just north of Mexico, west of New Mexico and east of California.

Bastardized versions of Native American history have been widely accepted within the media, which is often seen from classic Western films to some of our children’s beloved Disney adaptations. Such has caused many of the undereducated to hold a belief that the extent of Native American history is one of rebellion upon horseback while shooting rifles in the air, and attempting to scalp any “white man” who dared trespass onto their defined territory. This could not be further from the truth. Prior…

Hierarchies have often been dominant in the world for centuries and are still dominant in the world when it comes to business and the government. Hierarchies are used in life every day because people who are higher up usually have more power in the decisions those groups make. These hierarchies are usually prominent in the military where this type of order rules all the actions the military takes. Susan Faludi discusses how colleges that have a slightly strong association with the military (The…

between North and South America possible. For example, the opossum, armadillo, and porcupine all trace back to ancestors that came across the Isthmus of Panama from South America. Conversely, the ancestors of bears, cats, dogs, horses, llamas, and raccoons all made the journey south across the isthmus (NASA, 2003).

"Touche." We both laugh as the playlist loads. 'Fall for You ' by Secondhand Serenade starts playing through the speakers, I do a happy dance in my seat.

I can feel Ash 's eyes on me so I calm down a bit but still continue singing. By the time the song ends, we 're a couple lights away from Jake 's. That stupid, over-played, new Adele song comes on.…
