Just a little north and to the west in Howard, a woman who had just bailed her husband out of jail was then shot and killed by her husband along with their son. Rick Hill shot and killed his wife, Carolyn Hill, and their son, Brad Hook, before then shooting himself in the head to take his own life on February 9,1998 (Michael Ridgeway 1A). In…

It’s used as a backdrop, or a general idea for the musical itself. It’s used at the beginning to introduce, and at the end to wrap it up. The song chorus says, “Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year?… Measure in love… seasons of love.” This is the number of minutes in a year.

the type of people that you ran into at a rare trip to Whole Foods, who won’t stop bragging about their claimed astute morality due to their ever exclusive new dieting habits. It seemed like nothing but the latest new trend among higher-class suburbans who could afford to buy expensive vegetables such as kale in the first place. But the more I actually learn about being vegan the more I came to find that there really were vegans out there who chose to be vegan not for the trend, but because of…

Hunger can have certain affects on different countries, families, and young children. Hunger is one problem that society does not have a solution for.

Have you ever thought about what it’s like to not have food or what it’s like to be hungry? We may think that most of us do not have to worry about being hungry every day, but in reality there are billions of people who are hungry.

on all sides, since 1993, when Eritrea gained its independence and Ethiopia lost its coastline (The World FactBook). In addition to having no easy route to any other countries for trade, Ethiopia also has poor irrigation due to its lack of a coast, which severely hurts the agricultural sector of Ethiopia. This is a huge factor because agriculture accounts for 95% of Ethiopia’s exports, and 40% of its GDP (The World FactBook). The whole Horn of Africa has been experiencing a drought…
