    We were given a piece of tin foil to make into our ship. We formed a rectangular flat-bottomed ship with short sides all around it from our piece of tin foil. Next, using the formula to find the volume of an object, we calculated the volume of the ship that we had created.

    In Kathleen M. Higgins work The Music of Our Lives she discusses her theory on how music positively benefits us, not only as a culture, but an individuals. She opens her writing by elaborating two very profound quotes on the importance of music, one by Plato and the other Confucius. Both quotes, alone with Higgins words, come to the conclusion that music is a central tool in promoting harmony in the soul and connecting our cross cultural society. Kathleen M.

Bloom expresses how deeply music sears deep into the souls of…

    Hannah Proctor looked at herself in the over large, somewhat gaudy mirror out back in the Legs 'n' Limbo, a rather low market strip joint owned by a guy named Stan. If he had a second name she didn't know it, or want to know it for that matter, he was a fair bit of a creep but he offered half decent pay in a seedy but good tipping establishment and a whole lot of security.

It had seemed like a good idea at the time, hide in plain sight, out in the open and under the dim lights and drunken patrons of a strip club, that and…

If the government refuses to pay or the ransom is not paid in the given amount of time, the terrorists record the brutal execution of the captives, usually beheadings, and sometimes stream it online for everyone to see. These hostage situations cause a tremendous…
