After eight and a half long months of morning sickness, more like all day sickness, hefty weight gain, numerous doctor appointments, eating like a sumo wrestler, and back pain that kept me up throughout the night, I thought that I could finally rest these last two weeks. Boy did I think wrong! Sleeping peacefully September 27 in my new cherry oak bed with the ceiling fan wide open, I suddenly jolted up feeling an excruciating pain radiate all in my stomach and back. I knew then that it was time…

Almost 16 years ago, in the year 1998, our loyal president, Bill Clinton, made headlines in nearly every newspaper across the nation: President Clinton had an affair with secretary, Monica Lewinsky. With the press pushing him into a corner, Clinton repeatedly denied such affairs, saying that he never had sex with that woman. Why? Why would he continue to deny the affair? Why would he commit such licentious actions in the first place? The answer is simple: incentives . He was driven to keep his…

however, consequent introduction of lower frequency harmonics in the spectrum increase current THD which may heat up the motor and the magnet. Thus, in the future study, hardware validation will be done to test the impact of the proposed strategy on the SUMO MD drive system, and an operating region would be defined in which the strategy can be used without any appreciable effect on the motor.

I started my journey in health and fitness at a young age. I was always one of those kids who just could not sit still - so I was into everything, climbing trees, riding bikes, swimming, sports, you name it I was into it. However my discipline to this way of life came when I discovered basketball, it was when I was about 13/14 and shot up to practically the height I am now, so my teachers said why don't you try and develop your skills as a basketball player as I was taller than most of my…

oil pressure dropped and suddenly the engine shut off. That was the end of the life of that tractor. Tim said, “Well Big Blue didn't like that one jerry.” They had to put Big Red on the spreader.

They still got done with spreading. It still worked great. After a week, the corn grew an average of five inches…

The prints ranged from animal, plant, acrobat, magician, landscape, comic, children, sumo wrestlers, and women prints, to more pornographic prints, to Chushingura (which is translated into Forty-Seven Ronin, these were made into a movie a few years ago), to the warrior triptychs and diptychs. These warrior triptychs and diptychs,…
