Scotch

Kendrick made plans for their Hogmanay celebration. Hogmanay is what the Scots call New Year’s Eve, the celebration of the last day of the year. The only thing he would tell her was that it was formal and pack a bag for a two-night stay. That male definitely had a romantic streak. Aileana wondered if it was a Selkie trait, or was it just him. She certainly wouldn’t complain about Kendrick's romantic inclinations. She had a lovely midnight-blue silk Georgette column dress picked out among her…

The Red Scare appeared directly subsequent to the closing of World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution that took place in Russia. These occurrences bolstered fear of communism, socialism, and anarchism while depleting a major component of the United States economy. The widespread trepidation settled in the hearts of many Americans. Many factors in the Red Scare would result in a massive decrease in labor leading to higher wages, violation of civil rights and decreased profits. The Red Scare…

The Cosa Nostra formulated the Sicilian Mafia Commission or “La Cupula” to resolve intermafia issues. In 1962, La Cupula was formed between all of the Cosa Nostra bosses. La Cupula was instrumental in ending the first Mafia War. Keeping the peace between the Mafia bosses was a tough task, but it was necessary in order to complete political actions. As long as the mafiosos could cooperate and not give up other mafiosos positions, the entire operation would benefit. This was all that was…

Like Father Like Son Cameron John Gautreau, that’s my name. Some people say your name is who you are but I believe it’s the tip of the iceberg. A name is only an identification tag given to you because your mom thought it was cute when she heard it at a high school baseball game. What is it that defines who you are as an individual? I believe there are many things that made me the person I am today but it ultimately comes down to my family and most influentially my father. If you look at me…

Now we will discuss some of the average milestones, developmental skills, and tasks associated with children from 3-5 years old. These standard guidelines are to assist us to evaluate where a child might be, in comparison to his or her age with peers of their own age. The anticipatory guidelines are not always cut and dry but do give us an idea at what level the children are on and how we can relate, teach, and communicate with them the best, on their level. When looking at a three-year-old…

Statement of Work The project will consist of several different tasks to complete. We will first find different departments that are willing to contribute to the “Senior Support Bags.” We will also be submitting a prototype design of the prop for seniors to hold for the pictures. The prop will be designed to be able to have something written on it and in the shape of a dream bubble. We will submit pricing options and material alternatives for the prop. The senior support bags will be handed out…

“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix angel-headed hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of the night.”(Ginsberg, Allen: Howl). ‘Beats’ are characterized as individuals who desire to instigate change and deeply believe in their convictions. After World War 2 ideas of nationalism and the fabrication of the American…

stormy grey eyes pierced into my green orbs. It was evident that he was drunk, and that was mainly because his eyes were darker than normal. I was curious to what alcoholic drink was flowing throughout his body. One quick sniff and I could tell that scotch was taking over his veins. This wasn’t the first time I’ve experienced this side to him, but right now I needed to finish my homework. “Clarke,” he slurred and swayed, close to falling. “Yes Dad?” I questioned with a hint of attitude in my…

Racism is a broad topic, that umbrellas more complex interactions in a given society of race-based worldview with stereotyping, prejudices, and discrimination. Racism when slavery was present had a different effect on the people back then. Black African Americans felt as if the only way to gain their right was to hold their ground and let no one break you. Most of the time it resulted in violence, but coming from the White counterparts being angry at black African Americans standing up for what…

The Effect of the Amount of Light on Sowbugs After Being Shone on Them for 30 Seconds Another name for Sowbugs is Porcellio Laevis and these creatures are land living crustaceans, mostly aquatic invertebrates, such as the lobster, crab, and crayfish. They are found in most parts of the world, but are most common throughout North America. Since sowbugs are crustaceans, they breathe through gills. Gills are the primary breathing way for all crustaceans and they must be kept moist (4). In addition,…
