DARE! Go Compare is the most annoying‚ idiotic and vexatious advert ever! However their latest commercial is the worst. It begins at a conference held by Stephan Hawkins who is delivering a lecture about black holes. Seems okay so far… Suddenly‚ someone in the crowd asks what he could use the black hole for. Stephan Hawkins smiles and the camera changes to a street scene where a couple are window-shopping. Gio Compario appears suddenly behind them singing that infuriating song. The couple

Fidel Castro was notified about the Cuban exiles working with the United States to overthrow him‚ so he dispatched his militia to fight. Castro’s militia lost 3‚000 to 4‚000 members within just a three-day battle at the Bay of Pigs (Hawkins‚ 1996‚ pp. 36-38). Roughly 48% of the Cuban exiles involved in the brigade were held

These market conditions led to the introduction of Vespa’s marketing campaign and brand imaging of Vespanomics—“the ecological‚ economic‚ and personal satisfaction achieved after buying a Vespa‚” (Hawkins and Mothersbaugh‚ 2010).

While I have been arguing that Ulysses S. Grant is undeserving of much of the criticism he has received‚ the man is not without flaws. Three clouds hovered over Grant’s reputation. The occasional bender‚ his highly trusted yet unscrupulous friends and family‚ and Order No. 11. Each of these cast a shadow on the man and his legacy‚ but in each you may find a little light as well. In Grant‚ acclaimed biographer Ron Chernow lays out the events of the infamous General Orders No. 11. He puts forth that

It may be hard for an individual to look at an object such as a tomato and think of that tomato as a technology. When one looks a little closer‚ they may notice that the tomato is extremely large‚ has very shiny skin‚ and shows no signs of parasite damage. After gaining an understanding that the tomato may be a genetically modified organism‚ a “GMO”‚ it is easier to look at the tomato as a technology that is altering the way we farm‚ control insects‚ and feed the world. That tomato will have implications

Death. There is no other topic in all of literature that can draw out such meaningful and complicated emotions from different people all over the world. Death to some people can be a time of spiritual revival‚ a time of gathering and even‚ in some cases‚ a time for celebration. But for others‚ death can lead to a time of deep mourning and sadness and a time to reflect on oneself and how you view the word death.
