Scrooge stoke his thumb across the cork of the wine bottle, and the cylinder-shaped piece of bark tissue flew across the generously-furnished room. “Happy New Year, my dear nephew!” Mr. Scrooge yelled jubilantly through the room, his voice mixing in with the joyous laughs and murmurs of the crowd. “Happy New Year, everyone!” Ebenezer Scrooge was celebrating the new year at his home, giving away money to everyone there, not minding if they never pay him back.

A pair that was across from me looked at me and the lady mouthed “I feel sorry for you.” I just laughed and looked away. I eagerly got out of my seat and met Casey at the bottom of the stairs.

in truth, these so-called “barbarians” were, in fact, not very barbaric at all. Recent discoveries challenged the long-accepted statement of Mongols being savage brutes, suggesting that they were perhaps wrongly labelled; the facts about them were twisted and lost to history.

Once they had become aware of Chargaff’s results which he published in 1951 stating that the proportions of the bases in DNA showing a standard ratio: there was always the same proportion of adenine as thymine and of guanine as…
