...I see a shadow running past the window as my vision inches closer to the house. It isn't the first time my dreams have brought me here and I know it won't be the last. There is something that happens every time I arrive, but I'm already too late to see the crime taking place by the time I arrive. Yet for once, I'm outside the house as the build up of events is taking place and I can feel the tension rising in the air. I feel myself moving forward, but I know I am unseen to everyone else around me, even though there is barely anyone in this secluded area as it is. A sudden movement catches my attention on the left side of the house and my heart thrashes harshly in my chest. Anxiety rushes over me as I watch the front door slowly open towards me and I see both of them standing in the narrow hall way in the middle of a heated argument. The words nearly incoherent to me, I struggle to hear the content of their disagreement, but its impossible with the sound of the bitter wind outside. Suddenly, I'm being pulled forward into the house, racing through an ending obstacle course through the disaster they called home. Their yelling, or his to be exact, echoes off the walls and sounds as if they're right in my ear. A force stops me at the bottom of the stairs where the kitchen is to my right, trashed as if a tornado had just blown through. My vision zooms in on the counter top where there is a small splatter of blood on the corner as if someone had been holding onto it with a bloody...

...Mohammed Rafi 1 Mohammed Rafi Mohammad Rafi Background information Born Origin 24 December 1924 Kotla Sultan Singh, Punjab, British India Indian Died 31 July 1980 (aged 55) Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Genres Indian classical, ghazal, playback singing Occupations Hindi and Punjabi playback singer Instruments Vocalist Years active 1944–1980 Mohammad Rafi (Urdu: ,عیفر دمحمHindi: मोहम्मद रफ़ी; 24 December 1924 – 31 July 1980), was an Indian playback singer whose career spanned four decades.[1] He won a National Award and 6 Filmfare Awards.

Please go to http://changethis.com/content/reader next ChangeThis It’s another radio station in another city in the overwhelming and terrifying process known as a book tour. I’m a first-time author on a very controversial subject—grammar snobbery—just beginning to realize I’m in way over my head. The radio show host wants to know my thoughts on all those people out there who don’t even try to use or to learn proper grammar. Everything about my host tells me that he is, by nature, a democratic and diplomatic kind of guy. But between the lines I think I catch the scent of something else—the passion of the people who see my grammar column in their local newspapers and send me e-mails saying, “As a fellow grammar and usage Nazi …” or, “Keep fighting against abuse of the language!” In my columns, I don’t fight abuse at all. I don’t bemoan others’ crimes against English or wail about how it’s going into the crapper. I’m not a grammar or usage Nazi. I’m not a snob, a snoot or even a stickler. I’m not “fellow” anything to them at all. Just because I write a column offering help to people who want to use better English doesn’t mean that I would impose good grammar on others. Short of coughing and fanning the air in the presence of a cigarette smoker, grammar provides the easiest way for an American...

...www.Grammarly.com/Grammar_Check Who Uses Each Format MLA style was created by the Modern Language Association and is used primarily for writings about language and literature and is the go-to style for those studying or working in the humanities. APA style is intended to clarify and strengthen scientific writing. Organized by the American Psychological Association, APA style is used most often by those in the social science fields. Format The difference between a paper written in MLA style and one written in APA style should be apparent to a reader almost immediately. A paper written in APA style will always have a title page, while those written in MLA style will only have a title page if it has been specifically requested. APA style also requires the inclusion of an abstract, a brief summary of the paper, while MLA does not. The main body of documents written in the two formats will look very similar, but they diverge again later on. In an MLA paper, the full list of references will be found on the "Works Cited" page at the back of the document. APA documents, on the other hand, will include a "References" page at the end. Citations While both styles require clear and detailed attribution of sources, referred to as citations, MLA and APA styles require a slightly different presentation of that data. In-text or parenthetical citations are brief references directing the reader to the full source list appended to the end of the paper. In MLA style, in-text citations will...

...One of the many factors that make us unique as individuals is the way we interrupt and process information. Daily we absorb information through reading, conversations and social media, Sometimes we subconsciously take ownership of others ideas; allowing what we take in to influence our thoughts and actions. Ultimately, this can lead to poor habits such as lying when it comes to being responsible for our actions. As college students, we are expected to challenge ourselves by writing good scholarly papers. Collecting our thoughts about our research and putting them on paper is easy for some but difficult for others. While researching, we can take notes and reflect on them; this can help with the content and flow in our papers (Kirszner & Stephen, 2012). Our papers should capture the reader’s attention by explaining our thesis statement and providing adequate explanations that supports our findings. Papers can be formatted and written in various ways; the most common forms of writing are APA and MLA. Some colleges may require MLA style (Modern Language Association); which is used for humanities such as arts, literature, and history. On the other hand, other colleges may require their students to write their papers in APA style. APA means American Psychological Association. It was designed by anthropologist, business managers, and psychologists as a way of arranging the components of writing and reading (Kirszner & Stephen, 2012). The APA format consist of the body, in-text...
