Three Little Pigs

but as such, they’re extremely busy with a large staff to cover their caseload. The MA turnover rate is high, as most are attending school, as I was. This meant many of the MA’s were just learning to give shots, using unsuspecting patients as guinea pigs. At the close of one shift, I was working with a new MA. Her patient was an ex-Marine with more muscles than Captain America. After her fourth attempt to poke his vein to draw blood, the man’s wife became hysterical and demanded the girl find…

baby blue sky above it all, there was a little red barn. It was old and rustic, completely different from the other cheery and bright cottages in the tiny town of Wicksdale. It’s paint peeled off the walls a little bit more every day. It creaked and groaned with the gusting winds that accompanied the hill it sat on. Nobody ever approached the Johnson barn. Everyone in town was terrified of it. The barn was best known for it’s eerie occurrences, such as when three teenagers were dared to go…

raising pigs because we know many people that have done or are doing them. They recommended swine for my first year. Before we got the pigs, we started building their pen. My dad and I started by mapping out what we were going to build on a piece of paper. There were four main parts that had to be built; a shelter, a place for the feeder, a place for the waterer, and a mud pit. We gather panels and poles and…

a specific liking to me. I had no family, no processions and no way out. I could only guess that I was around eight at time I was sold to the Eden plantation. Words could not describe how cruel Mr. Ernest was. He and his petty little wife were the rulers of their own little kingdom and we were the prisoners trapped in a life we couldn’t escape. I had no desire to see the rich color of my skin or the uneven slope of my features but I was reminded quite frequently that my place in the world was…

Olds, who founded Olds Motor Vehicle Company in 1897 (later, as Oldsmobile, to become a part of General Motors). Having left his company years before it was acquired by GM, in 1905 Olds established a new company, REO Motor Car Company, the predecessor to Nucor, in Lansing, Michigan. Though Olds' cars, including the luxurious REO Flying Cloud, were popular, they were not profitable, and the company's more successful truck business (featuring the famous REO Speed Wagon) was still not sufficiently…

Forty-three out of fifty-four lenders approved the plan. As part of the restructuring, lenders offered over Rs 7.5 billion under the company's various debt buyback schemes. Some of the banks agreed to the buyback at a 55% discount on the principal amount, while…

Ophthalmic Cysticercosis Ophthalmic cysticercosis is derived from cysticercosis which is an infection by eggs in the tissue caused by a parasite. This parasite is known as Taenia solium, or more commonly called pork tapeworm. It is also an emerging parasitic disease. People can become infected by this parasite if undercooked meat is consumed or eaten raw. The eggs go into the body and form cysts. It is usually found in the intestinal tract, skin, muscles, and areas of the brain in an infected…

One immense controversy that many people are unaware of is gestational stalls in swine protection. “A gestation crate is a steel crate that is approximately seven feet long and two feet wide” (Bob Segall). Gestation stalls are used for only pregnant sows before they give birth. The sows have their own food and water, which protects them from fighting over food. This is where the controversy begins, some say that “gestation crate is the definition of animal cruelty” and that the pork industry…

confusing. Whilst Joe Macbeth’s (James McAvoy) focus of revenge rather than ambition leads to an atrocious adaption, putting it simply; its 90 minutes of your time you'll never get back. The BBC adaption of Macbeth is designed to be beautifully crafted, a little bit quirky and littered with symbolism. However, any Shakespeare enthusiast can see that the film is disgustingly flawed and fails to deliver the Macbeth story. No matter how much symbolism. Although, give it is due, the film is cleverly…

The Three Witches show up throughout Macbeth and indeed do cause trouble. They prophesied about Macbeth’s ascension to Kinghood and that he could only be killed by one not born of woman. However, that is not the point of this, it is to break down and decipher what is really meant in the Witches chant in act 4 scene 1. “Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn, and cauldron bubble (act 4 scene 1 lines 10-11; 20-21; 35-36).” These two lines appear twice throughout the chant, and are recognized…
