Ishrael stood before the fifty foot behemoth, glancing up into the infinite space of its eyes. Intimidating or not, this beast was a fearful creature who brandished hairy arms as if they were trees in the darkest of forests. And the beast stared back at him, as if it were challenging him, telling Ishrael to make a move, taunting him. So Ishrael made the first move. He flicked the switch of his chainsaw. It took a second for the motor to whir to life, for the gears to shift, for the chain of blades
Jake Clawson Ethical Communication Assignment 2/13/2014 JPMorgan Chase, Bailouts, and Ethics “Too big to fail” is a theory that suggests some financial institutions are so large and so powerful that their failure would be disastrous to the local and global economy, and therefore must be assisted by the government when struggles arise. Supporters of this idea argue that there are some institutions are so important that they should be the recipients of beneficial financial and economic policies from

A student named Kyle Campbell expressed his opinion about the movement in an article titled “The Problem with Today’s Race War” In his article, Campbell states that he believes the Black Lives Matter movement has no purpose in modern society because
rides and water rides. Kings Island has roller coasters in the record books! We went around July or August. When we went there we went on some roller coasters like Diamondback, The Beast, Banshee, and The Racer. We went on them many times. DiamondBack is a steel and metal roller coaster that is 230 feet tall and goes 80mph. DiamondBack is like Fury but a little bit shorter. This roller coaster is extremely fun (we went on it twice). The Beast is the
Physics Make-Up Assignment: Amusement Park Physics Everyone is aware of a roller coaster’s adrenaline causing effects, but not everyone is aware of the physics behind the mechanics of these rides. Roller coasters run on potential and kinetic energy. The purpose of the roller coaster’s initial ascent is to build up the potential energy, the energy stored up in an object, so when eventually there are drops in the ride the potential energy will be released as kinetic energy, the energy that propels
For my ecosystem of choice, I have chosen the desert. Deserts are believed to have been around for as long as Earth itself has been around. I chose this ecosystem because it is one of the more interesting ecosystems to me. I have also been through many deserts before which has given me much curiosity to learn more about them. I will go over very many different aspects and facts regarding deserts and their enviroments and surroundings. Deserts are located all throughout the world and cover about
similarity between all of the baskets: the pattern in which they were dyed as seemed to resemble a diamond from the diamondback snake. I discovered that the diamondback snake is actually sacred in Choctaw culture because thought they are very dangerous, they killed and kept the varmints away from the crops. I found this to be particularly interesting because the venomous diamondback snake is typically seen as a very dangerous animal to most people, and understandably why. But, they didn’t see it in
the article, Kai Xu would spend 10 years in federal prison when convicted because he tried to smuggle 51 turtles in his pants across Canadian borders. He carried North American species turtles including: eastern box turtles, red-eared sliders, diamondback terrapins, and others. David Mifsud, a Michigan herpetologist said, "Xu was probably trying to sell them in Southeast Asia, which could be sold for $800 a pop." His plan was foiled when a UPS employee found the brown cardboard box with red letters
Did anyone know that the average MLB player's career lasts only 4 years? That is a very short career for a non contact sport, such as football or hockey! When this information was discovered, it was shocking. Who would have thought that a career such as baseball could end so abruptly? Most athletes take the risk of having such a short career because of the high income that accompanies it. Even with all of the money made, their career choice may not be worth the future consequences. Some careers are
When people think of baseball, pitchers normally come to mind: starters, relief pitchers and then there are the closers. The closer is a crucial asset for a baseball team, without an outstanding closer a team could fold in the last inning of the game. To be a great closer, one must have excellent control, the ability to outwit a batter, and movement on their pitches. In order to be remembered as one of the all-time greatest closers, they must have the statistics as well as effective pitches. Mariano

passes the cleanser box and seen that the snake was gone, she envisions that maybe Sykes has considered words to go to the white folks serious (413). As she gets ready to start the week's washing, on the other hand, she finds, to her stun, the diamondback at the garments' base hamper. Terrified silly, she heads out to the animal dwelling place to spend the night. At the point when Sykes returns later at night, he discovers no matches left to light the candles. As he falters about plastered oblivious
rooting more for the charismatic and complex villain than our square peg hero. Ali made the first half of the show enjoyable, but once he was unexpectedly (and in my mind idiotically) killed by his much less interesting cousin, the show nosedived. Diamondback, the villain who took Cottonmouth’s place, was downright dreadful. I don’t mean dreadful as in his personality and actions, I mean dreadfully acted, dreadfully written, dreadfully motivated, and dreadfully dressed. Who the hell made this

The eastern indigo snake is the longest snake species native to the united states. With a habitat that covers much of the east coast and all of florida, some of the longest eastern indigos push nearly 9.5 feet. While this fact may invoke fear in many, humans do not have much to fear. Eastern indigos are non-venomous, and only eat small animals including bird eggs. Humans are actually more deadly to them. Even though they aren't the cutest or most sought-after pet, they play an important and irreplaceable
Throughout the animal kingdom, adaptations take place continuously and even the smallest of changes can leave a significant impact. Examples can be seen within any plant or animal.

In my opinion, the terrorist attack by the Muslims on 9/11 disgusts me. It infuriates me how such an ignorant, incompetent, and flawed religion such as Islam has so much influence on a large part of the human population and how the slaves of the religion willfully invoke unnecessary terror under the name of a fabricated deity made by an Arab who was a pedophile, polygamist, terrorist, uneducated, and war thirsty man. The film from ‘Nine Innings From Ground Zero” did, in a sense, help me connect
