The Pike

as a sacrifice to the gods they believed in. Similarly, “The Spaniards began to carry out massacres against the Indians, They would bet who could split a man in half, or cut off his head or spill out his entrails with a single swing of a sword or pike.”’ (Article 10). "No year passes in which they do not kill and…

Being in cheerleading isn’t as easy as people say. Some people even think cheer isn’t a sport but I would beg to differ. Cheerleaders have a high chance of getting just as sweaty, tired, and hurt as you can in other sports. Cheerleaders can’t be afraid to perform in front of people because we have to be loud and proud of our team. Practice gets tough when you have to do painstaking stretches, many difficult jumps, then, depending on the day, stunts or cheers. To begin cheer practice, all us…

King Philip received an elaborate burial because first and foremost he was a king. He was also a king that used military genius to unite the Greek city-states. He did so by changing the traditional military strategy. He used pikes that were 13 feet long and his formation was changed to be more forceful. He also used a catapult of sorts to be able to get past the walls that some Greek city-states were protected by. He used gold and silver from his conquests to move farther. He united the greek…

other, just how the colours on the pig is different in a lot of the different parts of the pig head. During the French Revolution, the Bastille fortress in France was stormed, and many people of high influence were killed and their heads were put on pikes and paraded around the city as the commoners believed that they weren’t getting a say in decisions and rulings, or were just in opposition to them. This relates to the cover, as there is a pig head on a stick just like it was in the French…

CSA has been linked to mental health issues in the victim’s adult lives such as depression, PTSD, and anxiety to mention a few (Johnson, Pike and Chard, 2001). It was found that women who had a history of CSA are more likely to experience these outcomes than those women who were not abused (Romans, Martin, and Mullen, 1997). In a study conducted by Catan and Sossalla (2015), a sample of 56 volunteers who were at a welfare center who attended people with intellectual disabilities was gathered.…

Perhaps one of the driving factors in the rise of arquebuses was that the previous siege revolution made commanders feel that they had to innately aggressive in their battle tactics. It also made commanders see guns as the future of warfare, even if firearms at the moment still had some drawbacks. This mentality resulted in that the defensive tactics of the fifteen century saw a huge decrease in their effectiveness when artillery emerged on the battlefield at the battle of Crécy in 1346. Siege…

Park Ecology: Voyageurs National Park With the landscape being molded nearly a billion years ago, glaciers have proved to be a prominent impact on the topography of Voyageurs National Park. In addition to forming the rigid layers of the terrain, the glaciers have also helped in the formation of the mosaic-like rocks and minerals that exist in the present-day wildlife sanctuary. Years of snow and rain have also contributed to the erosion of the sediments, thus affecting the geological development…

gives me great joy to watch the family work on a plan to help them gain custody of their children. It also gives me great job to watch social workers focus on and bring out the strengths of families.

with responsibility and respect she teaches us new skills. She teaches us a lot of new things that she knew as a cheerleader and what she knows now. Some of the things she teaches us is how to do jumps like toe-touches, hurdlers, hurkies, and pikes. We learn the right approaches to them, the eight counts, and how to follow through on the whole jump. She also makes sure we cheer correctly. If we mess up, she tells us what we did wrong and how to fix it. With all the wisdom she has…

to take control of and to improve their health (World Health Organization, 2017). Early interventions are crucial in disease prevention and health protection since negative behaviours often developed during childhood (Stanhope, Lancaster, Jakubec, & Pike-MacDonald, 2017a). Also, health promotion is relevant to students as academic success is dependent on health (Rossman, Dood, & Squires, 2012). This paper describes an upcoming health promotion presentation to students in grade five elementary…
