...New Hampshire Primary After observing Donald Trump’s speech at the New Hampshire Primary on Tuesday, February 9th, I feel like I gained some interesting insight into his actual character from his physical movements as well as his word choice. Aside from differing political ideologies, it is easy to see how someone may interpret his actions in a negative way. Initially, Trump thanks his friends and family for their support. I noticed that he holds his mouth in a way such that he appears to be smirking. This could also just be from being happy and excited. He shakes hands and garners mixed responses from the audience; half boos and half chants of “USA.” Either way, his mannerisms result in an immediate and spirited response from the audience. His suit is ruffled and tie crooked, perhaps indicating that he has been interacting with people asking him difficult questions all day. It intrigues me how his face maintains a seemingly arrogant position, his tone nearly cynical. He has no reason not to be. With a background in economics and the gift of gab, he has been able to amass an impressive fortune without squandering it like NFL players. I feel as if years of spearheading successful business ventures and mitigating the financial spider web entangling all of us has left him a bit like a grandpa who wants to tell his cool war stories but instead projects them on his face. This exuberance also makes him notoriously difficult to negotiate with. If a foreign power actually threatened...

...Manchester United Soccer Club Nicolette Larson was loading the dishwasher with her husband, Kevin, and telling him about the first meeting of the Manchester United Tournament Organizing Committee. Nicolette, a self-confessed "soccer mom," had been elected tournament director and was responsible for organizing the club's first summer tournament. Manchester United Soccer Club (MUSC) located in Manchester, New Hampshire, was formed in 1992 as a way of bringing recreational players to a higher level of competition and preparing them for the State Olympic Development Program and/or high school teams. The club currently has 24 boys and girls (ranging in age from under 9 to 16) on teams affiliated with the Hampshire Soccer Association and the Granite State Girls Soccer League. The club's board of directors decided in the fall to sponsor a summer invitational soccer tournament to generate revenue. Given the boom in youth soccer, hosting summer tournaments has become a popular method for raising funds. MUSC teams regularly compete in three to four tournaments each summer at different locales in New England. These tournaments have been reported to generate between $50,000 and $70,000 for the host club. MUSC needs additional revenue to refurbish and expand the number of soccer fields at the Rock Rimmon soccer complex. Funds would also be used to augment the club's scholarship program, which provides financial aid to players who cannot afford the $450 annual club dues. Nicolette gave her husband...

...To: Student Council From: Date: November 8, 2012 A group of 4 students are on the Academic Committee are interested in organizing a ski trip for students, and are experienced with going on skiing tours many times. This will be available for up to 80 students and it is only 2 hours away from the University. We feel that this would be a good trip to take since it will be on school break, and also a reward for the hard work that everyone is putting into their studies. New Hampshire has an average snowfall of 155”-200” inches of snow each year. The state has 21 mountains to ski ranging from 87 acres to 350 acres, which is some of the largest ski mountains on the east coast. There are many activities other than skiing including snowmobiling, hiking and tubing. The White Mountain National Forest links the Vermont and Maine portions of the Appalachian Trail, and boasts the Mount Washington Auto Road, where visitors may drive to the top of 6,288-foot Mount Washington.

Smith’s work is also in many corporate collections like the American Stock Exchange in New York; Fidelity Investments in Merrimack, New Hampshire; and Texas Air Incorporated in Houston, Texas. A Realist painter, Clifford Smith imbues his scenes of ocean waves, fields and highways with both sharply observed detail and a sense of passing time. Smith has painted a series of scenes of the high seas, in each case offering a closely cropped image of choppy waves with neither horizon nor anchor in view. The total visual immersion creates a sense of tension and also release. It is an uncompromising view of nature that Smith also applies to his images of roaring highways and urban landscapes. In paintings like Passing Sunset, the subject at first appears...

...Some of the works that won the Prize were "New Hampshire" and "A Further Range." The Drama Frost began writing darker volumes when a series of horrible family tragedies befell the family. His oldest daughter died a slow death from a fever contracted after giving birth to a child. His wife Elinor died of a random heart attack, his daughter Irma was institutionalized along with his sister Jeanie. Then when things started looking okay, his son Carol committed suicide. This no doubt paved the way for Frost's darkest works that would rank at the top of the list. The End Frost returned to England and received honorary awards. Then he went to Russia and attempted to speak with one of Russia's superpowers. Frost then returned to Boston to give a final reading before he administered himself to a...

...Title Robert Frost was born in California; however, critics would collectively agree that he identified with New England more than his roots of California where he lived for eleven years till his father’s death. Frost was a farmer, which could explain his need to write poems that involved nature, but he was not necessarily a good farmer. He was a better writer than anything else which caused him to have great acclaim in England, where he had moved to in 1912 with his family. He would return back when critics praised his work in the United States. Frost would also lose two children to suicide and mental illness. Frosts tendency to write about nature was related to the land of New England, which many thought “was the heart of America” (Norton). Nature was a notable part of Frost’s poems; however, he did not see nature as this supreme being, rather he saw nature as “no expression, nothing to express” (Norton). Cleanth Brooks, an influential...

...Robert Frost, born on March 26, 1874, in San Francisco. As it says on poet.org about Robert Frost, He became interested in reading and writing poetry during his high school years in Lawrence, enrolled at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, in 1892, and later at Harvard University in Boston, though he never earned a formal college degree. Some of Robert Frost’s poems I’m using are Fire & Ice, The Runaway, and The Road Not Taken and how he uses the three literary elements such as Implied Metaphor, Personification, and Extended Metaphor to create the theme of Hatred, Desire, and Making Choices can lead to Freedom. Starting it off, Fire & Ice, published on December 1920. Robert Frost uses Implied Metaphor in the poem. Example in the poem are, “Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From What I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for...

...Ecosystem Structure, Function, and Change Ecosystem Structure, Function, and Change In this essay I would like to talk about the fourth Connecticut Lake located in Pittsburg, NH. The main highlight of this ecosystem is that it has the straddling border between the United States and Canada. It is also one of the reserves for variety of native plants and floating bog. There are many other ecosystems around the place but this one is one unique and soothing place to learn about. There is a small glacial tarn that is settled below the ridgeline which separates the New Hampshire from Quebec. Now as already discussed that the reserve is the home of native species of places that are protected in here, there is a medium level fen system in this place. The medium level fen system refers to the open, acidic peat lands with more miner tropic influences than the poor level fen or bogs due to the effects of upland runoff, exposure to lake and stream water, or limited groundwater seepage. This ecosystem is located along the headwater of the Connecticut River. The Connecticut Lake are comprised of four parts name the first, second, third and fourth Connecticut lakes. In all the above mentioned lakes the fourth Connecticut is the north smallest and most remote of all the four Connecticut lakes that actually brings more diversity to grow here and due to the remoteness the place is also rich in vast diversity of plans and other living things. Actually it is the source of the Connecticut River...

...Manchester, NH was one of these Gilded Age marvels. Through this era, there was a huge growth of different industries and a wave of immigrants marked this period in history (Morgan, 54). Because of the success of Western expansion, the gold rush in California and resources in Western North America, the demand for railroads led the way for the Gilded Age. The production of iron and steel rose dramatically because of improved technologies in factories and western resources like lumber, gold and silver increased the demand for improved transportation. There were mining operations that led to incredible profits and the owners of companies dealing with these were suddenly swimming in lots of money,many men used these new found riches to invest in the Mills that were in New England at the time. The Mill that is most interesting to me is the Merrimack River Mills in Manchester, NH. Growing up in Manchester only a mile from the mills has made me want to learn the history of this landmark and how the gilded age affected Manchester. In May 1807, Samuel Blodget completed a canal and lock system beside the Merrimack River at Derryfield. His enterprise allowed boats traveling between Concord and Nashua to bypass Amoskeag Falls, opening the region to development. Blodget envisioned here "the Manchester of America," a water-powered textile center comparable to the Industrial Reveloution English city he had recently visited. The name stuck, and in 1810 Derryfield was changed to Manchester....

As a child, Henry grew up with his mother and father as a single child, his family was wealthy. His father often was referred to as a raging alcoholic. His mother on the other hand was a strict Methodist who would often read Henry excerpts from the Holy Bible and try to teach him good morals. However these morals would be soon washed away with the help of his classmates in school. Kids in his school would often force Henry to touch human skeletons. Due to this, Henry became very fascinated with the human anatomy and death. Although this was a major catalyst to his curiosity with medical science, Henry was already known to be a very smart kid and loved medicine. After his experience with human skeletons, Henry decided to take his fascination to the next level. He proceeded by discecting animals for fun and he would read books about medicine. Eventually he would move on to college to become a doctor.
