My Dearest Nancy, I am writing to you from the trenches in my “dug-out”. It is cold and wet. Winter has not been kind to us out on the Western Front. Many of our chaps have gotten what they call “trench foot”. A nasty disease where your feet turn blue and swell up – even go numb. It’s what you get from standing in damp, wet, muddy trenches all day and all night. It’s been rough. I went to the doctor the other day for a cut I got on my ankle a couple of weeks ago. Doc said it was septic…

“Go, go, go!” blurted Anthony. “ We need to get in here and get out like that. Ethan you get the first desk fill the bag up with money and Devon you get your bag full to. I got your backs.” “Boys get your masks on”, I said. “I am boss”, said Devon. “I’m nervous we need to hurry in here. This is gonna be the biggest armed robbery on a bank in the nation.” “Alright Devon go and I’ll follow you in and Anthony stay behind me”, I Screamed. Then as Devon, Ethan, and Anthony go in they are…

Although the indoor trampoline park industry is unregulated, Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park is “safe, healthy, fun” because of its thorough rule system and differentiation from other parks. An indoor trampoline park is a new take on the outdoor “jump centres” that debuted in the 1960s, “located indoors, and have wall to wall trampolines to prevent people falling of the trampolines onto hard surfaces.” (Wikipedia, 2014) Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park first opened in 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada…

Each of the letters (a,b,c, and d) represents a particular condition. The stimuli were randomized so that no one participant saw more than one condition per set. For example, participant 1 would see (1a, 2b, 3c, 4d, 5a, etc.) and participant 2 would see (1b, 2c, 3d, 4a, 5b, etc.). This sequence was continued for each of the 24 participants. This way, there was an even number of judgements across conditions for each participant. In addition, fillers were used to ensure that participants…

Chapter 1 - Worldwide Search Inside a room, two males wearing a set of golden armor and several servants can be seen kneeling down with sweats covering their whole body. They were kneeling in front of two figures. The first figure is an incredibly handsome middle-aged man. He has long black hair, sharp eyebrows and a pair of golden eyes. He was wearing fancy clothes, with the words ‘Celestial’ and ‘Emperor’ on his back. Next to him is a peerlessly beautiful middle age woman with a frown on…

I slowly cocked my gun, Aidan’s arm was slung around my shoulder. As we began the long trek down the hallway, I could not shake the feeling that someone, or something, was watching me. I glanced over at him, lying limp over my shoulder. We were halfway there, and an all too familiar growl was erupting from behind us. We started to sprint, not knowing if we were going to make it. Our salvation was within reach. It was the year of 2012, a fairly normal day. My best friend Aidan Aird was…

Existing regulations for drones: Until recently drone that were sold to consumers were not regulated (Pomerleau, 2015). What that means is that the FAA had not released any information on how the use of a drone, by a member of the general public could be used, what the general public shouldn’t be used for, and also what the punishments would be should a consumer choose not to follow regulations (Pomerleau, 2015). As of February 2015, the FAA has release some oversight guidelines on how…

"Cherokee 952, you are cleared to take off on runway 28.” "Roger, we are rolling on runway 28, Cherokee 952.” I always wanted to fly since I was young. When I was seventeen, I got myself into the world of flight. Stepping into aviation needed a lot of preparation, and I spent a long and dedicated year to prepare myself. I applied to a flight school after I immigrated to America; however, I was rejected because of my language ability and physical fitness. In the following year, I worked hard on…

February 20th, 1959, also known as “Black Friday” was the day the short lived Avro Arrow project came to an end. The Avro Arrow was a supersonic interceptor fighter jet which was Canada’s deterrent to the Cold War threat from Russia attacking the North American continent. The cancellation of the Avro Arrow, 59 years later remains a controversial topic today, as the Canadian government had a short term view versus a long-term horizon. Even though, the aircraft was far superior to enemy countries,…

Wilkins from A Discourse Concerning a New World and Another Planet, book 1, 1640). This prediction has come true, it is an airplane which can transport many people around the world in a matter of hours. Airplanes are long skinny vessels with long wings on either side, they're made of heavy metals but are still light enough to carry many people. They are flown by human pilots and fly high up in the sky and when you travel in them you get snacks, like peanuts, while you travel towards your…
