The perfect honeymoon haven can be a five-star resort or a starlit campground. It's wherever your dreams (and your budget) lead you. Virtually every major hotel and country inn in the world offers some sort of honeymoon package or will quickly come up with one if they have a request. The frills can range from a bottle of champagne by a heart-shaped pool to a picnic on a private island. Tropical resorts are particularly adept at making the most of their romantic surroundings and can rattle off…

Writing is all around us - within the writing are devices and syntax that warp the everyday words into someone 's story, essay, text message or email. Within the ever expanding dictionary of the human mind, we 're constantly improving our skills with these stylistic devices the more we write. Our uses of these devices however, are usually what distinguishes two completely different writers apart, and can also bring two different writers together. The variation of every human 's writing is a…

They believe that if you are humble you are shy and retreating and not able to stand up for yourself or your beliefs. This is just not true.

While some would rather halt space exploration entirely, many still hunger and yearn to learn more about the universe around them. The human race needs to gain more…

installed the same way in both the design and probe. However the MIB later discovered that the relay cards, which the G-switches were mounted to, were installed in an inverted orientation compared to how they were originally designed, which was for the Stardust mission. This inversion of the G sensors ensured that the target of 3 g’s in the correct direction was not sensed during re-entry, resulting in no parachute…
