One day there was an open field, but not just any open field. This field was guarded by a goddess, Nixious (Nix-e-ous) goddess of disease. In this field laid her treasure, a young rancher and her cottage with sheep. This rancher impressed the goddess, and earned the name Simkaxzi (Sim-kah-z). One day, a mischievous young thief came to the ranch to take the sheep flock. As soon as he started to put a lead on one of the sheep’s neck, the goddess awakened. Nixious as furious as ever, and picked up the thief with her mighty grasp. She called Simkaxzi down from her small cottage. Nixious announced “Here is thy thief. Simkaxzi should you be thy one to decide punishment, what would it be.” Simkaxzi replied “Let his family be cursed with a disease
William Ellsworth “Dummy” Hoy was born May 23, 1862 in Houcktown, Ohio. Hoy was born hearing, but went deaf from meningitis at the age of three. He went on to graduate from the Ohio School for the Deaf as class valedictorian. After graduating, Hoy opened a shoe repair shop in his hometown. While playing baseball on the weekends, Hoy earned a professional contract with an Oshkosh, Wisconsin team in 1886. In 1888 Hoy was signed on by the Washington Nationals as only the third deaf professional baseball player ever. In his rookie year, he led the league in stolen bases and finished second with 69 walks. On June 19, 1889, he set a major league record (which has now been tied twice) by throwing out three runners at home plate from center field in
The door on the side of the building into Bitch Media’s headquarters is always locked. For those who would like to go inside, the little haphazardly-taped sign on the door instructs “FEDEX, UPS, USPS + ANYBODY ELSE PLEASE RING THE DOORBELL.” The only way to tell that a powerful feminist publication resides on the second floor of the building is from the small metal sign with “bitch” inscribed. Before Gamergate, a series of personal attacks on female game developers, and the vandalism of the Bitch offices, Bitch’s door would have remained open and unlocked for anyone wanting to use Bitch’s lending library. Now, the staff at Bitch Media cannot take their personal safety for granted. They make sure that there are no obvious markings that might lead to unwanted attention; I parked in front of what Siri told me was the headquarters and walked around the whole building twice before spotting the entrance.
Something that bugs me is when people lie about their times at swim team practice. For example, when we are doing 100s sprint and someone gets a 1:10 and lies and says that they got a 1:05. This really bugs me because it doesn't really matter what your time is because it will fluctuate from day to day. When people lie about their times everyone around them knows that they are lying so it really doesn't help them and it irritates everyone on the team. When we get out of the water and go to the locker room to change everyone is talking about that one person that does it everytime and then we all get in trouble. Also when we are swimming for a time in practice, we get recorded so coach Vicky knows if we are getting better or not, when people
Over the course of history, the historical information regarding Jesus Christ has been interpreted by many different individuals and has led to different beliefs and views regarding the existence of Jesus Christ as a real man. Today I will be interpreting this evidence and i will be attempting to answer the question “Was Jesus Christ a real man?”. The evidence I will be looking at to answer this question will be information regarding the context of Jesus Christ, the historical accounts of non-Christian authors as well as the evidence for the Bible which is the main source regarding the life of Jesus Christ.
A hero can be defined as a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. That definition is a perfect description of Adam and his wife, Kelley. The whole book Fearless is about Adam being a hero for his country and also himself. Kelley played a big part in the book also. She pretty much saved Adam’s life.
Etsy is a great e-commerce site that gives you an opportunity to make a part-time or full-time income doing what you love. If you are a crafty person who enjoys creating and selling crafts for profit, Etsy is certainly a great place to get started, but learning some Etsy Shop tips can give you a jump start on Etsy sales and make the difference of having a successful shop or going out of business. Unlike craft fairs, Etsy doesn't require a big financial investment or a major time commitment. You can open and run a Shop with as few as 1 item and work at your own pace. However, craft fairs certainly have one major advantage over an Etsy Store - your booth is visible to hundreds of potential customers. And although there are always plenty of people looking for handmade items
What is a Nigger? This one term holds hatred that has transcended generations, and though now only whispered in the homes of white elitist and the ignorant, still is at the root of many of the racial issues African American’s face in America. Despite this, within the African American community the word “nigger” has transformed into the word “nigga”. Thus, changing the connotation from a shackle that made clear one’s position on the social hierarchy to a link that has bounded the community spiritually, symbolizing endearment and brotherhood when used by other African Americans. The change in connotation can now be seen in multiple formats within African American Pop
The Gotchawarriors are distinct soldiers from almost everywhere throughout the globe as well as they come to you. Manipulate them to protect the city from the outrageous professional established to globe proficiency.
“BOOM SHAKALAKA” hollered the announcer at the top of his lungs. Every time an shocking race had been completed in the finals session and a record was broken he hollered that. And He should have especially for this race… I won’t say that I thought it wouldn’t happen in front of my eyes but how was it possible at all, much less in front of my eyes.
Junior is a very confident teenager. He stands up against people that are even bigger than him. He also goes to places he is not accepted and stands up to anyone that gets on his way, even if the people are from another race. For example, when Junior started attending Reardan, most white kids started to bully him, but when one of the kids started talking about his race (Native Americans) and African Americans, he got angry and punched the bully in the face. After that, the bully always respected Junior and was being friendly. At the same time, Junior is one of those kids that always gets beat up and they need someone to defend them, and in his case, it would be his best friend Rowdy. Since they were little kids, Rowdy has always been protecting him from
When it comes down to it, I am a weirdo. If someone were to take a consensus of what people thought of me, it would defiantly be along the lines of that, however people probably would have come to that conclusion for some other reason all together. The reason I’m talking about here is because I know how to ride a unicycle and juggle. I have had the basic talents for becoming a circus performer since I was seven and I’m still accumulating a repertoire of amusing, yet odd talents that, who knows, maybe one day will be useful.
Screwed. That is the one word he would use, screwed. Sure things could be worse. He could be lying in a ditch dead or maybe in a shipping crate bound for Africa. Even still this was not much better. He loathed his job and everything to do with it. So a required work “party” was not how he wanted to spend his night. He considered “getting sick” but decided against it. Besides how bad it could be? He wouldn’t have to stay long and there would be free food. He decided he could bare it. Little did he know that his decision had just won him a sentence of twenty-five to life.
I wish I could see “Goofy” again! Goofy was my old best friend about 3 years ago. He and I were like Batman and Super Woman. Goofy was his nickname and we called him goofy simply because of his facial features that resembled those of the cartoon character “Goofy.” His actual name was Robert, but he will always be know as Goofy to me. Goofy was the type of kid who you would look in his eyes and see no type of hope for the future. Goofy and I were raised under the same circumstances but he chose another path to take. Goofy and I were made and molded by the struggle around us but instead of seeing such demising circumstances and choosing to try to make it out, Goofy chose to embrace the struggle as his only path in life. I would always look into
When your child enter's the dental office and makes his or her way to the dental chair, the first site they are greeted with is a line-up of shiny, silver tools. While they may not look scary to you, I bet you can remember your first site of these tools (some with hooks or sharp edges) and the fearful feeling that you were going to feel pain when they were used. If the site of these tools turn your child from relaxed to fearful, then follow this guide to explain to them how the most "scary looking" tools are actually used to help them realize there is no reason to be afraid.
Being poor means you barely have enough money for the luxuries in life; you can only afford the absolute necessities in life. Being middle class means you can afford to splurge here and there on luxuries. Being wealthier means you live a life of opulence, and you are not concerned with money in the slightest. I do not live an extravagant live nor do I live a life devoid of luxuries. Most of my significant events in my life do not have money involved in them. Whenever I have money I carelessly splurge it on things I will never come to use or I treat myself to candy with it. I loathe saving money in such a manner it drives me insane whenever I save more than a couple dollars. I choose Katie Nolan for this section because she is the polar opposite
