Working 14 hours a day running errands, washing floors and seeing different disciplines of the hospital, as well as talking to employees, from consultants to part-time cleaners, gave me an insight into hospital life. Through volunteering with KEEN I interacted with young people with Autism to which I took an interest after seeing “The Curious Case of a Dog In The Night-time”. My participation in a class as a volunteer for AgeUK showed me how difficult it is to live a normal life with MS and…

Philippines, Canada sent emergency food kits, shelters, vaccinations, and hygiene kits as part of a peacekeeping statement in alliance to these struggling nations. More currently and perhaps controversially, Canada is one of the largest bilateral donors to Ukraine in the midst of their crisis.

All in all, Canada’s peacekeeping…

New Product Line One of the recent innovations that we made is opening the Starbucks Evenings store line. The regular Starbucks shop during the day transforms into a dining place after 4pm which not only serves food but also alcoholic beverages. There are currently 75 locations and our current strategy is to have 2000 Starbucks Evenings stores by the end of 2019. We start selling alcohol after 4pm and stop at 11pm. The reason behind is that demand for Starbucks decreases significantly during the…

Four months ago I sat upon my grandparents tractor for my customary effort of maintaining their lawn. On this hot summer day I thought about my return to school and how I was going to prepare for it; at this point, senior year was just around the corner and it would be my most important and difficult year of schooling so far. For my final year of high school I wanted to do things differently as I would be preparing for college soon. I knew I had worked diligently through all my years of…

attempts at famine relief were seen to be shoddy and slow” so there is uncertainty about how much aid was given to the peasantry and how quickly it was received. Nonetheless, it is clear that Alexander gave more relief than both Lenin and Stalin as the famine affected between 14,000,000 to 20,000,000 people, of which 375,000 to 400,000 died. When compared to the famine of 1921 which killed an estimated 6,000,000 and the famine of 1932 in which 6,000,000 people died within a period of seven…

use catchy, yet demeaning, nicknames such as Ukro-fascists, neofascists, neo-Nazis, and Nazis to associate the horrors of World War II with Ukraine to provoke hatred (Sweet). The Ukrainian political resistance has been twisted around and given degrading names to make it seem like the resistance is a new form of fascism to scare the public into hating Ukraine. Names are not only given to the enemy, but they are also given to the main political party to symbolize their importance. In 1984, the…
