Learning by Default In the article titled “A Generation Tethered to their Helicopter Parents” the author lays out a strong argument as to why parents should allow their children to grow up and make their own decisions. Although many parents want the best for their children‚ they may be hindering their children’s ability to experience life.

A Eurosta solidaginis‚ also known as the Golden Rod Gall Fly‚ is an insect that lives in a Solidago atlissma/ canadis. The female Gall Fly has an ovipositor which implants eggs in the Golden Rod plant. Eggs are implanted by the mother onto the apical meristem. At the apical meristem the larva releases a chemical that stimulates the host goldenrod which in return forms the gall (Abrahamson‚ Kenneth‚ McCrea‚ Whitwell‚ and Vernieri 1991).

Adoption vs. Foster Parenting When I had cable TV‚ I used to watch a show on the Learning Channel‚ called "An Adoption Story".

The love and joy was the same as if they had given birth to the child. Adoption is truly a blessing‚ both for the childless couples‚ and for the birth mother searching for a loving home for her baby. I always

If you watched season one of HBO’s True Detective last year‚ then you are probably also curious about what season two will bring. One thing the new season will feature is a brand new theme song‚ written and performed by Leonard Cohen. The sparse‚ gravelly crooning of Cohen’s voice will color the television series’ opening credits a haunting shade of grizzly. The choice has been praised as apt and “badass” by Vulture Magazine. The song is called “Nevermind‚” and it first appeared on Cohen’s most

William Pitt became Prime Minister in 1783 at just 24 years old. He came to power soon after the American War of Independence (1776-1783).

The article‚ “Miss America and social media’s ignorant bigotry” written by Leonard Pitts Jr. is about how people label all Indian people as being Muslim and view them as terrorists‚ even though they are not Muslim. People in the US commit acts of violence against people from India who are presumed to be Muslim‚ and assume they are terrorists.
