She suffered from this cancer and it soon took her life on January 20, 1993 in Tolochenaz, Switzerland. She died so suddenly she was not even able to accept an Academy Award for her altruistic work. Audrey has her own memorial fund set up which is referred to as the Audrey Hepburn Children’s Fund, which was founded in 1994 by her two sons.…

It was a serene Sunday morning with the sun smiling and the waves crashing. I woke up, refreshed after sleeping like a log. I went to the kitchen waiting, until I heard something. It was a knock, it was as if someone was cracking a skull open. I opened my door, scared what might be on the other side, it was the courier guy. He gave me a package, which he had said a Mogul had sent for me. I then foreboded that it was a threat to pay him back my loan that was over due. Ferociously, I opened the…
When you think about underage drinking, what do you see? Is the scene you see one of intoxication and violence? If so, you are not alone, but this does not have to be true. I believe that Responsible Underage drinking is something that can happen and if we lower the drinking age to 18, there will be more time to teach teens how to handle alcohol responsibly. This nation is entering a time of great change-maybe this law should change with it. In America, at the age of 18 you’re considered an…

Guns 101 is filling with me more knowledge that I will utilize from now on. Video of the week, I really like the guys in the video. Along with the article of the P290 by SIG Sauer was a lot of information to take in all at once without having a P290 in front of me. Learning about gun shop etiquette was, for the most part, something that I already do as second nature. When “Steier, page 96” says “No one is ever shot with a loaded gun” is absolutely the truth, but I have never heard anyone say…
The most important war of the 17th Century would take place in Germany. The Thirty Years War began as a result of the failure of the Peace of Augsburg. This was due mostly to the foundation of new sects of Protestantism including Calvinism. Since these religions were not recognized, they were not allowed to be practiced. This takes us into the first phase of the Thirty Years war which has become known as the Bohemian phase. The Bohemian Phase began when a Calvinist noble threw two Holy Roman…
