a Washington Times post it said, “’More than 30 percent [of the] girls dropped out of educational institutions in 2006 and 2007 due to speeches of [militant leader] Mullah Fazlullah on his FM radio against girls’ education,’ said an official in the Swat education department, who asked not to be named to avoid becoming a target for militants.” Mullah Fazlullah was a pure evil man who had no remorse and no respect for anyone who did not obey his rules.

1. B.1 You feel a rush of adrenaline as it fills your body with the hot exciting sensations, and your mind suddenly starts to clear. You concentrate on the wolf’s footing, where it is stepping, how it is moving. The wolf’s shoulder blades tense up and relax as if it were telling you something. As if it were warning you. The wolf takes a single step back and then lunges forward at your right side. Your body flinches out of the way without you even having to think about it. The wolf assumes its…

I can personally tell the difference…
