...fifth or sixth class, I was driving with my grandfather from the village of Bolshoe Kryepkoe in the Don region to Rostov-on-the-Don. It was a sultry, languidly dreary day of August. Our eyes were glued together, and our mouths were parched from the heat and the dry burning wind which drove clouds of dust to meet us; one did not want to look or speak or think, and when our drowsy driver, a Little Russian called Karpo, swung his whip at the horses and lashed me on my cap, I did not protest or utter a sound, but only, rousing myself from half-slumber, gazed mildly and dejectedly into the distance to see whether there was a village visible through the dust. We stopped to feed the horses in a big Armenian village at a rich Armenian's whom my grandfather knew. Never in my life have I seen a greater caricature than that Armenian. Imagine a little shaven head with thick overhanging eyebrows, a beak of a nose, long gray mustaches, and a wide mouth with a long cherry-wood chibouk sticking out of it. This little head was clumsily attached to a lean hunch-back carcass attired in a fantastic garb, a short red jacket, and full bright blue trousers. This figure walked straddling its legs and shuffling with its slippers, spoke without taking the chibouk out of its mouth, and behaved with truly Armenian dignity, not smiling, but staring with wide-open eyes and trying to take as little notice as possible of its guests. There was neither wind nor dust in the Armenian's rooms, but it was just as...

...Heather Hayes September 4, 2015 Paper One Hell for Certain A few years ago, I decided to move out of Indiana. I had never lived anywhere except Indiana in my life. I had been offered to opportunity to be a caretaker for a friend. I have never liked change and couldn’t imagine stepping out of my comfort zone. However, this was my chance to experience something new. So in March 2011, I relocated to the Appalachian Mountains in Hyden, Kentucky. Hyden borders on the Daniel Boone National Forest and has a population of approximately 350 people. Upon my arrival, I quickly realized I was in a very different place. While driving on the interstate signs were all along the road to watch for falling rock. I had never seen signs like this before and hoped I wouldn’t get hit by falling rock. While trying to locate the address of my destination, I realized I was lost. I stopped at a small mom and pop gas station. As I approached the attendant, I sensed he knew I was an outsider. Before I could ask for directions he said, “You ain’t from these parts are you?” No I certainly was not. I asked him where I was and he said, “Why girl you’re in Hell for Certain.” I thought to myself, “Oh know what have gotten myself into!” I know I am a long way from home but I didn’t think I would end up in hell when I left there. “What do you mean I am in Hell for Certain,” I said. He responds “Well missy that is the name of the town...

...(“Fines and Appeals”). The NFL needs to change the consequences for late hits, facemask, leg whip, horse collar, roughing the passer, shop block, and blindside blocks. The average fine for first offense for a late hit is $9,115. For second offense it’s $18,231. Most players make that in a couple of weeks. The fines needs to be up so players will play safely and still get paid. So if that means the NFL increases the fine amount by a lot and maybe adds a suspension or some other consequence to help deal with the situation. Fines and other consequences are the best way to deal with illegal...

If she does not race as hoped she still possessed the desired genetics to be crossed with another equally genetically strong stallion. On the purchase of Falcon it must be noted that she is already in foal by Arabian Gleam, winner of 4 Group 2 races beating 12 Group winners and said to be a ‘solid performer’ by his trainer (Hedgeholm Stud, 2014). He is also a Pivotal and Danehill cross which has previously been a very successful nick producing three stakes winners from 25 starters and all three of the horses are Group 1 winners.

...THE class-room was hot, and outside the sun was hard on the dusty earth and the grass was going brown on the playing fields. The boy looked at his exercise book, at the figures and the red-pencil corrections, and they were nothing, related nothing in his experience. He raised his eyes very slowly and saw the hard light and the bare ground and the drying grass. Over by the fence the two old jarrahs with the spread tops framed the piled houses of the suburbs. He had his hands to his head and he looked out of the low window and then back at the figures on the paper, and slowly the tears began to force their way on him. He made no sound and the others working did not know. Now out beyond him were the wide flat acres of wheat, heavy in ear, and the cut patches bare to the earth dotted with the stooks. The wagon moved slowly out, and when they reached the stooks his father began to pitch the hay. The sheaves thumped on the wagon. He helped Ted, who worked for them, to build the load. As the wagon started for the next stook he felt the jolt and looked at the load to see if it would hold. High up he sat when it was built and they drove in to the stack. He got on the stack and Ted threw the sheaves to him and he passed to his father. The sun was hard on the paddocks and the dull scrub and the few trees. It made the wagon hot and the hay held a heat, and his clothes were hot. It was hard to say when the shadows first started to come on the ground, but they began to shift out from the stooks...

They should all start to come into play now. The next step is to tackle a course of small fences. Your confidence here is vital, if you are not fully in control and committed to jumping you will be sending mixed signals to your horse and he will not do what you are trying to ask him to do. It is only when you are sure in your own mind and your horse is ready that it is time to tackle a course. Jumping a few small courses at home is a must if you plan to take your horse to a competition, not only because you are getting him used to it but also that you are not surrounded by the public which could put you and your horse off.

...Rule changes in the NFL have been made throughout the history of the league to improve the game, make it more exciting and reduce the risk of injury. Safety rules are one of the most important and effective ways in which the NFL and its owners can help protect the health of players. By helping to identify, promote and enforce safe on-field conduct (in concert with off-the-field education and policies), the league seeks to preserve both the health of players and the integrity of the game. The NFL has established a strong set of rules through the years focused on player safety, designed to promote fair competition while attempting to minimize risk of harm to the player. While many of these rules have focused on reducing contact to the head and neck of players, other changes have protected players from orthopedic and other injuries. The development of a thoughtful and comprehensive set of appropriately protective rules and policies has always been, and continues to be, an evolving process. The NFL continually evaluates how rules can best be integrated into the game to address safety and health issues. Each year the NFL Competition Committee conducts a complete review of player injuries and discusses means by which the NFL can reduce them through the implementation of new rules, or by clarifying or strengthening enforcement of existing rules. Rules the league has established or changed for the protection of players have not only had a positive impact in the NFL, but have...

...for animals and getting dirty. There wasn’t anything that could stop this little tom- boy from jumping in a puddle of mud, climbing trees, or capturing wild horses. This determined country girl learned at a young age to be independent. Reed would go out to the pasture and capture a horse, bring it back to the barn, saddle it, and take off riding. There was never any fear in those bright blue eyes. Around the age of 5, the blonde haired beauty began barrel racing, and showing horses. This horse lover use to race to songs like, “Two tickets to Paradise” by Eddie Money, “Paradise City” by Guns N’ Roses, and “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi. Growing up, Reed’s mother would come home to find tree houses built throughout the yard, horse trailers spray painted, and the clay ground covered in caves. In 1994, this smiling mud covered face had to leave the country and move to a small town called Willis. City life was a little different for this 10 year old, there were no more horses to tend to, no muddy fields to play in, and to much free time at hand. With all the extra time, Reed took an interest in art. Once the pencil hit this artist’s hands there were masterpieces everywhere. One of the first drawings ever completed was sent to the state capital in Austin for a show. This little Van Gogh drew a picture of a horse named Moon, which won first prize. Drawing and painting managed to consume the extra free time the city life offered. Eventually, when Reed entered...

...accurate and far superior to smooth bore rifles. For the past 150 years, the soldier’s weapon of choice was the .69 caliber smooth bore musket. These rifles were inaccurate and did not have an effective killing range (100-200 yards). A lot of luck went into the soldier’s marksmanship. In the days prior, Napoleonic tactics were commonplace on the battlefield. In this fashion, soldiers lined up side by side and fired a volley of lead into the enemy’s direction, each rank taking turns to reload while the other fired. This tactic was effective in its own right, causing high casualties to both sides. During the civil war however, good soldiers were hard to find, and advancements in technology allowed them to use tactics and weaponry that helped keep soldiers alive on the battlefield. Advancements in the weaponry used during the First battle of the Bull Run made a significant difference in many aspects of the battle. Rifles used in the battle looked identical to the ones previously used, but with one key change: rifling. Rifled weapons have groves cut inside the barrel that cause the projectile to spin as it leaves the muzzle of the weapon. This barrel groove allowed rifles to be much more accurate, having a longer range than their predecessors (400-600 yards). Rifled muskets however were still muzzle loaded weapons. This required each soldier to aim and shoot, place the butt of their gun on the ground, load a powder charge, load the wad and musket ball, pack the loaded barrel with...

At one point several men resorted into eating some of the horses and even candels to survive. After a rugged two weeks the corps had made it down the mountains and made contact with the Nez Perce indians. They set up camp off the Clearwater River and made canoes and were able to recover. On October 7, 1805 they set off down the Clearwater River which eventually branched into the Snake River and then after that the Columbian River. The corps passed through some of the most beautiful terrain and was by far the easiest part of the journey as they could finally ride the rivers current. They were also much happier as they knew they were getting closer to...
