One might not normally think of a mailman’s job as particularly dangerous. Unfortunately for a Dallas postman, it proved to be fatal. On Monday, a United States Postal Service worker, Tony Mosby, 58, was going about his daily route in Dallas, Texas when he was apparently shot in the head in his mail truck. His body was found shortly after in the truck which was parked “along a busy highway” around 2:30 A.M. Nearby residents heard the gunshot which helped police find the federal employee in a timely
The original 1967 version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was a top twenty hit. According to record producers, Terrell was a little nervous and intimidated during recording because she did not rehearse the lyrics. Terrell recorded her vocals alone with producers Harvey Fuqua and Johnny Bristol, who added Gaye's vocal at a later date.[2] "Ain't No Mountain" peaked at number nineteen on the Billboard pop charts, and went to number three on the R&B charts.[3] This original version of "Ain't No Mountain"

competition, disruption of the food web, and genetic hybridization. These habitat and species modifications could create an irreversible shift in the ecosystem, creating an altered, stable state. While invasive species cause damage in many ways, one of an invasive specie’s most devastating effects is habitat modification. Once a habitat is physically altered, even if the invader is removed, it becomes difficult or impossible to reverse the effects. In Life Out of Bounds, author Chris Bright describes
suggesting that globally, the costs of drug-related incarceration outweigh the social costs of drug use. Indonesian prisons have seen the worst of the war on drugs, becoming hotbeds of HIV AIDS through unsafe drug use in recent years. Given the large number of Indonesians in prison (many on death row) for drug use and trafficking, it is helpful to relook at Indonesia’s drug policy. This brief will outline the current drug policy in Indonesia, highlight its effects on various stakeholders, and make recommendations
In early 2003, the threat of Saddam Hussein and the possibility of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq captured the attention and concern of the world. One nation decided to illegally act on these unsubstantiated claims, invading the country, violating the UN Charter and breaking several international laws in the process. The penalizations that were subject to the invading country, the United States, were never carried out. The United State’s role and influence over the UN and the Security Council
in supercooled He4 by Dr. Pyotr Kapitsa. Helium became the standard for observing superfluid phenomenon, and most new superfluid properties are still observed first in Helium 4. Superconductivity, a similar phenomenon, was discovered in 1911 by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. When he cooled some mercury down to liquid helium temperatures, it began to conduct electricity with no resistance at all. People began experimenting with other metals, and found that many tranisition metals exhibit

The Life and Contribution to the Development of the British Empire of James Cook I) Introduction The purpose of this paper is to describe the life and the contribution to the development of the British Empire of one of the most important English explorers. It was in the second half of the 18th century when James Cook, originally a poor farm boy, explored and mapped vast uncharted areas of the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean. However, James Cook was not ‘only’ an explorer. He can also be called
level of stress partially serves as mediators of the relationship between future time perspective and procrastination behavior. Ferrari (2001) proposes that chronic procrastination behavior is proved to be associated with lower future orientation; one possible explanation can be that it eases the present tension or short-term pleasure is more tempting (since they procrastinate by switching to do other things). However, a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of procrastination that derived

Minkisi are complex items that are used to heal and to harm people, and there is no equivalent term for nkisi in any European language. A seventeenth century Dutch geographer first wrote of the nkisi, and said that, “These Ethiopians [that is, the BaKongo] call moquisie [minkisi] everything in which resides, in their opinion, a secret and incomprehensible virtue to do them good or ill, and to reveal event of
