...The cherry blossoms and dogwoods have bloomed, the pollen is heavy, and the breeze is light - spring has come to Huntsville. While the spring weather is cooperative (we have plenty of Spring showers), it’s best to visit downtown Huntsville. I’m ready to Tourist My City and adventure awaits, it’s time to learn some history. The large white brick house can’t go unnoticed in the middle of the Twickenham Historic District in Downtown Huntsville. Those double green doors come into focus, beautifully surrounded by the ornate glass fanlight doorway. Those doors beckon you into a past, where true craftsmanship can be seen in every inch of this Federal architecture home. It’s the Weeden House, a staple in Huntsville history. The Weeden House teleports you through time, to the late 1800’s. You’re encompassed by the elegance, artistry, and intricacy to detail which...

...MGT/230 A time in my life when I had to make a personal decision was just recently when I purchased my second home. It was a really hard decision to make because it is very hard to move from one comfort zone to a strange place. The first home my husband and I purchased was in West Boca, it was a two bedroom condo and we lived there for over five years. I’ve been married for over eight years and I have two beautiful daughters. My oldest daughter will soon turn five and the youngest is almost two. As my family was expending it was clear that we needed a bigger place. I’ve travel to other states and countries but Florida as always been my home state, and Boca Raton is where I’ve lived all this while. I love living in West Boca because it is very quiet, peaceful luxurious and a wonderful place to raise kids. West Boca was luxurious indeed but raising two kids in a two bedroom condo can get a little crowded at times. My husband and knew it was time to make a change, therefore we decided to purchase our second home. We currently live in Coconut Creek in a two story four bedroom home. Coconut Creek is a very lovely place, I am still trying to get use to the area but I still miss being in Boca. My life have changed drastically now because I live further from work, our kids school and my mother, and other relatives used to live close by. We are in a different district now therefore I have to look for a different school to enroll my daughter. The fact that we lived...

...Four Main Differences between the healthcare systems in Nigeria and the USA. Paul Fortune College of Nursing After living in my native country, Nigeria for nearly twenty years of my life, I had the opportunity to relocate to the United States of America to live with my Dad while pursuing a career in Nursing. On getting to the United States of America or the USA as it is commonly called, I discovered how lovely and different the country really is. The USA was a lot different from what I had heard from stories back home in Nigeria. The previous three years, since January 2009 to be precise, has provided me first-hand experience of some major differences between my country of origin and the United States of America. In comparison, there are four main differences between the lifestyle of the United States of America and Nigeria. First, one of the many significant differences between the United States of America and Nigeria is its political institutions. The United States of America has two major political parties while Nigeria has a multiple party system. Though both practice some form of Federalism, the United States of America utilizes a system whereby the individual States have a high measure of autonomy or political control of their region. On the other hand, Nigeria has a strong central government that imposes law and rules that the state governments have to abide by. Furthermore, in the United States of America, the States provide most of its own resources, while...

...A metaphor, as defined in our glossary, is a figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between two unlike things that actually have something important in common. The word metaphoritself is a metaphor, coming from a Greek word meaning to "transfer" or "carry across." Metaphors "carry" meaning from one word, image, or idea to another. When Dr. Gregory House (in the TV series House, M.D.) says, "I'm a night owl, Wilson's an early bird. We're different species," he's speaking metaphorically. When Dr. Cuddy replies, "Then move him into his own cage," she's extendingHouse's bird metaphor--which he caps off with the remark, "Who'll clean the droppings from mine?" Calling a person a "night owl" or an "early bird" is an example of a common (or conventional) metaphor--one that most native speakers will readily understand. Let's look at some of the different ways a single conventional metaphor can be used. Conventional Metaphors Some metaphors are so common that we may not even notice that they are metaphors. Take the familiar metaphor of life as a journey, for example. We find it in advertising slogans: * "Life is a journey, travel it well." (United Airlines) * "Life is a journey. Enjoy the Ride." (Nissan) Alliteration The repetition of an initial consonant sound, as in "a peck of pickledpeppers." Adjective: alliterative. As J.R.R. Tolkien observed, alliteration "depends not on letters but on sounds." Thus the phrase know-nothing is alliterative, butclimate...

...at the end of the 18th century, and by Mary Kingsley exactly one hundred years later, while Henry Stanley went to the Central part of the continent, with the purpose of finding his companion Livingstone, in a first journey from 1871 to 1872, and he secondly came back to Africa for a new mission in 1874. This essay highlights the different approaches these authors took to talking about the country, and the different ways in which they set off for a journey into the “Dark Continent” at their time. It will be divided into three different sections, one for each author, following a chronological time. In each part the main differences and common themes Park, Stanley and Kingsley share, will be analysed. MUNGO PARK’S TRAVEL IN THE INTERIOR DISTRICTS OF AFRICA Mungo Park’s book recounts an eighteen-month expedition in West Africa [...] that commenced in May 1795 . He was accompanied by two African servants and his aim was to reach the Niger River. It is important to say that Park set off for the journey at the behest of the African Association, who asked him to accomplish three principal tasks: • he had to ascertain the direction in which the Niger flowed; • he had to find the city of Timbuktu, which people believed to be rich with...

...Recap... And all i could think of is "This is so K-drama cliché." I stretched my hands for support. But the guy had other ideas. He grabbed my waist and carried me bridal style. “Aish! Put me down.” I barked swinging my legs back and forth trying to get out of his cast iron grip. “Stop squirming…” he spoke. His voice sent a surge of chills down my spine; I looked up to see a handsome guy with soft brown eyes, chiseled jaw and long eyelashes staring back at me. my throat went dry; This guy was beyond gorgeous. “Yah! We’re here.” He spoke nudging me from my daydream. “O-oh” I replied hoisting myself as he put me down. ”Omo! Kenchana?” the cute old nurse spoke caressing my arm soothingly. I nodded my head in response. “I just need some ice for my ankle.” I said rubbing my swollen egg shaped ankle. .. Minho’s POV I walked down the corridor, observing my surroundings until some girl bumped into me sending her falling to the ground flat on her bum. I stretched my hands to help her up; she took my hands and tried to support herself up but I noticed her struggling she must have hurt her leg… so I grabbed her smooth legs and carried to the nurse’s office to get checked. She squirmed in my arms trying to make me let go. “Stop squirming” I told her looking her silky brown air. Her chocolate eyes met mine and I swore my heart stopped. She had this long hair, plump lips and rosy cheeks. When our eyes met I glanced away. I noticed we reached the nurse’s office. “Yah we’re here.” I said...

While working on a new pitch for his boss he gets a phone call. “ Charlie.” says a raspy voice on the other end. “ Who is this?” asks Charlie quizzically. “ That isn’t important,” says the man “ what is important is we have your wife.” “ This fight isn’t with her,” says Charlie “ what you want is with me let her go and take me.” “ We can’t do that Charlie, now I will be contacting you later with some instructions that you must do to keep her alive.” The phone call ends the long drawn out beep that happens when the line is dead rings in Charlie’s ear.

...other members of the family first shape themselves, and how they gradually become more serious and more intimate; how friendships are formed and broken. We are shown the dawn of love, feeling out towards its first objects. Above all, we are shown how the mystery of the sexual life first presses itself vaguely on the attention, and then takes entire possession of the growing intelligence, so that the child suffers under the load of secret knowledge but gradually becomes enabled to shoulder the burden. Of all these things we have a description at once so charming, so serious, and so artless, that it cannot fail to be of supreme interest to educationists and psychologists.
