Stairway

could cross the heavily guarded suspension bridge, or they could descend to the bottom of the valley across a frozen river and climb a 500 ft cliff. They chose to climb the cliff in the freezing weather and because of careful planning they knew each stairway and crevice to enter the facility and plant the bombs. What’s funny about the infiltration of the plant is it took just one cut and a few seconds to break into one of the most strategically important institutions in the entire theatre of the…

On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy, pummeled the East Coast, slamming into numerous states. Some of the hardest hit were New York, and New Jersey where the storm surge, produced the largest amount of destruction. According to the National Weather Service (2012) the storm surge occurred near the time of high tide along the Atlantic Coast, causing record tide heights; some measuring 12.5 feet high. Alongside the damaging storm surge, Hurricane Sandy gave way to explosions and downed power lines…

box. The older one conceded; It’ll be nice to be off for a while. We should try to take advantage of it. I intend on it. My husband will make sure of that. When the women reached the subway steps they balanced their boxes on the railing of the stairway. The younger woman sniffed. Well, here you are, safe and sound. The older one smiled with a sad nod. Hey listen, I have your number, you have mine. I’ll call. Next week. We’ll do lunch. The older one nodded at the enthusiasm of her office…

About 3,500 years. Some 600 miles up the Nile valley, south of Cairo, you come upon the Valley of the Kings. Here the pharaohs made secret tombs in the sides of mountains. The Valley of the Kings is one of the most isolated spots on earth. Almost nothing grows there – no tree, no shrub, no blade of grass. The sun hits down from an everlastingly clear sky whose bright blue is the only colour divergence to the dull, constant dark gold rock and sand, hills and valley floor. All along the desert…

Not only does the Roman Colosseum appear to be one of the world's most beautiful and classical monuments, it also represents such immense power from thousands of years ago. The Roman Colosseum is an oval amphitheatre that is located in the city of Rome, Italy, just east of Palatine Hill. It is considered one of the most grand works of architecture and engineering. The Colosseum is a freestanding architecture of stone and concrete, contrary to most earlier amphitheatres which were all nearly dug…

made my way through the mass of people to a hot dog stand to buy myself an overpriced Frank dog. After, I had my frank dog I decided to go find my seat, and I headed towards my section through the sea of people. Finally, I reached the top of the stairway of section 102, and started heading down to row 16. I was too busy trying not to bump into someone, and spill ketchup all over myself to notice the most important part…

The type of early childhood program I would develop for children ages 2-6 would be a preschool. Preschools are explicitly designed to provide intellectual and social experiences for children (Feldman, 2015). The curriculum would be tailored to Lev Vygotsky’s view on cognitive development. The program would provide adequate nutrition to promote expected physical changes through preschool years. The program would, also, be concerned with the health and safety of those enrolled. Children go…

Introduction I’ve always been fascinated with the Maya Civilization since the very first time I visited Copan, one of the largest Classic Maya centers located at the western region of Honduras. I remember the moment I was greeted by the stelae in the Great Plaza, gazing at the intricate hieroglyphic carvings in their backs and the sculptural relief details found in sculptures and buildings nearby. I was amazed at the fact that these monuments were still standing after thousands of years ago, and…

narrow window at the left. Through its leaded panes the morning sunlight streams. A candle still burns near the bed, which is at the right. A chest, a chair, and a small table are the other furnishings. At the back a door opens on the landing of the stairway to the ground floor. The room gives off an air of clean spareness (Miller…

D er Alte Fritz (The Old Fritz) once said, “Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl,” and the Adelbu Panzer assault on Base 113 was dependent on air attacks from RGA Luftgeschwader planes, supported by the Self-Propelled Guns of the Remnants’ arsenal. The Adelburger groups leading the assault used ten Panzer IVs and Panzer Vs (“Panther”), both being Model G variants, with twice as many Sd.Kfz 251 halftracks sporting MG42s manned and crewed by an entire Adelburger crew.…
