...supreme law of the land. State and local laws that conflict with valid federal law are unconstitutional. Congress may designate a federal statute regulate a specific area or activity. No state or local law regulating the activity is valid if there is such a statute. (Cheeseman 2010) The state of Confusion enacted a statute requiring all trucks and towing trailers to use a specific truck hitch when using its highways. The required truck hitch can only be purchased in Confusion from its sole manufacturer. A trailer hitch is made up of two parts, a trailer knob and a coupler, or bowl socket. The trailer hitch ball is a metal ball that is mounted on a base. This ball is cast or machined from solid steel, and it usually is completely round, with a flat section on the top. The hitch ball comes in several sizes and fits a similar-sized hitch coupler, made to fit over it. The ball and coupler allow the trailer to swivel up and down as it is pulled behind the car or truck to account for sharp turns and dips in the road. The federal government has not taken any steps to specifically regulate the truck hitches nationally, so there is no federal statute that precludes the Confusion...

...Abstract expressionists , James Pollock created an abstract full of symbolically hidden messages , called The Portrait and a Dream , 1953 First impressions that are given off by this painting sends messages of confusion , anger , hopeless dreams , perhaps the inner thought and feelings of the artists when he made the abstract . The art work portrays someone who furiously scribbled many lines across the canvas in no controlled manner , working from hostile and angry emotions . If music was made to match this painting , it would not be smooth jazz or classical br but like rap with an angry fast techno beat producing violence When considering the title of the painting , and looking at the line arrangements , Pollock was telling a story about his frustrations over empty dreams . Dull , plain off color canvas is chosen as the background for this art . To the right is a very black and Halloween orange colored head , perhaps an indication of what is going on in his mind as he was painting or it could be a resemblance of him in his sleep at night . The main theme or point behind this painting appears to send messages to let someone know this person is upset . Many artists write songs , create paintings , choreograph dances to get certain points to someone who has made them upset . Pollock seems to be sending an underlying message to one person , a person who somehow blocked him from his achievements , even though many people are fascinated with this abstract .

...The Dangers Of Heading A Soccer Ball “Heading the ball,” is a major part of the game of soccer, but recently there has been discussion of prohibiting “headers” from the game. In soccer, a “header” is when a player advances the ball using their forehead. The head takes the force of the ball. Recent evidence shows that it is possible that headers may cause player concussions or produce long-term brain damage. Many former and current professional soccer players as well as some National Soccer organizations have taken part in the fight against headers. Critics and researchers assert that heading the ball in soccer is more damaging to the brains of children and females. With these dangers, the laws and recommendations related to heading in soccer...

...onfusion Madi 2.1.15 FDENG 101 Confused: To Be or Not To Be? Confusion is inevitable. It’s bound to happen at sometime whether I’m at the grocery store wondering where everything is since management thought it would be a good idea to put me out of my comfort zone, or driving by a strange new place that I’ve never seen before. Confusion could really hit at any time. Life as a whole is a bunch of years jumbled up into one long, confusing mess. With so many different options of what to believe, who to trust, what foods to like, or what I am comfortable doing, how do I not get confused? As confusing as it is, I love my life, but at the same time, why does it seem that I really ever know what’s going on? Okay, I am aware that virtually every college student is going through some oh-so-terribly-confusing time in their life. So why is it that I feel that nobody understands my confusion? Simply that. It’s mine, not anyone else’s. Since this uncertainty belongs to me and only me, why do I seem to think that my confusion trumps yours? Why do I feel that I am ultimately more important? I have always wondered that when see the color red, somebody else could be seeing what you think of as the color blue and just was always taught that this so-called blue color has and always will be called red? This has intrigued me since a young age, and I can’t seem to come to terms...

...the basketball bouncing off the floor gives my mind a beat to move my body to. After dribbling for a moment I step to the three point line and face my defender. Like a snake his hands strike in and out with speed as he try’s to steal the ball from me. I will not let it happen, for I must get past him to overcome my obstacles to ultimately clear my head. As I stand there with the ball in hand I observe the court and everything on it. I see windows of opportunity and weak points as my teams move around causing the defense confusion. My defender stands tall and shows no sign of weakness as he stares into my eyes trying to guess my next move. With each second going by the clock slowly loses time as I prepare how I will attack the basket. The hoop hanging there from the ceiling looked so far out of reach, and yet I still stand there watching the ball go through the net over and over in my head. As time begins to run out I quickly leap as if I was on springs and I proceed with pushing the ball from my fingertips. As I start my journey back towards the floor my skin begins to tingle from the sound of the crowd. The sounds of their feet make you believe you’re in the middle of a stampede, and then at that moment it’s as if time stops. The orange ball rotates in air as...

...Attack Combos In the Pokémon games, there are many different strategies you could use to win against a clever foe. Some strategies can be used just to lay down an all-out assault on a foe, and some are more skilled and use a combination of defense and more adept move usage.

...we pulled into the parking lot my dad was practically running to go get clubs. I got out of the car and my mind was racing. What if I stink? What if I can’t even hit the ball? When my dad finally comes back from the building he comes out with three women's golf clubs and a buckets of golf balls. We started to walk to what looked like patches of fake grass. When we got there my dad started going on and on about how to hold a golf club. “ Now you hold your left thumb and pointer finger up to look like you're shooting a gun. Then, put your pointer finger in between your right pinky and ring finger,” He exclaimed I was flummoxed so I just stared at him in confusion. “ Oh my god ciara! I should get an accolade for teaching you how to play golf!” My dad blurted...

...Unicorns save the day Given only a limited time to write an essay, I came upon the idea to write about three unicorns on an adventure to defeat the sassy kitten boss. I decided to write about this random topic to try to interest the reader. I wanted the reader to feel confused and shocked by the topic so they wonder where the story was going. This topic interests me because it is very obscure and it allows me to create and imagine what the lives of unicorns and sassy kittens are like. I enjoy reading fictional stories and when I was a child, I would imagine characters with special powers and play with those around me. I do believe I will grab the attention of the readers. They would show interest in the topic through surprise that a college student, in a professional environment, would write about such a childish topic. I want that surprise to bring out their curiosity, causing them to pay attention to the story. Although they may show interest in the beginning, the readers may fade out of the story and get bored by predicting the plot. Have you ever wondered what was on the other side of the moon? There are many stories of aliens or martians on the other side, which has not been proven false, nor has it been proven true, but on the other side of the moon there also lives a kitten. This kitten is known to have the power to torture their enemies through irritation and sass, explaining the reason for the kitten being known as SKB, Sassy Kitty Boss. Many worlds and warriors have...

...trickery doesn't end as they arrive at the masked ball. We also see the deception he creates with two brothers, Don Pedro and Don John when it comes to Claudio's love for Hero . Don Pedro embraces the fun of disguise with honest intentions while Don John is very skeptical of it describing himself as a "Plain dealing villain". Claudio and Hero's love will encounter its own challenges with others interfering with their love and happiness. Claudio is led to believe that Hero was unfaithful after he see's a woman resembling her making love to another man while wearing her scarf. It has been said that "We tend to tell home truths under cover of masks, and truth is misread as deception, you know me well, I am he"(Varney). After all the disruptions and twists and turns, these characters will eventually fall in love and marry. Shakespeare makes no attempt to hide the presence of a male playing the female role, demonstrating more gender identity and disguise. These plays put strong emphasis on the difference between disguise and deception for our entertainment at the same time developing a strong connection to the plot. He makes his scenes very plausible for the audience to mistrust what they might see and it is noted that, " the characters repeatedly get things wrong, seeing trickery where there is none, and proof when they’re being deceived"(Varney). We have no other choice but to sit back, relax and enjoy the confusion from our privileged place on the sidelines as well...

...Davis team and they mostly played center position. The facial expressions of almost all of the athletes seemed to be calm and focused to play. None of them seemed to be tired, but instead all of the athletes were hyped up and excited to play. I also noticed that many of the players’ facial expression showed that they were determined to do their best and win the game. I didn’t really observe any signs of anxiety or nervousness in their facial expression. In fact I observed that the teammates were happy and enjoyed to play. Also during the game teammates sitting on the bench would cheer for their teammates especially when they scored. 4. I observed that there was a great amount of communication among teammates. For example the player with the ball would communicate a lot with the rest of his teammates with either hand signals, words, or eye contact. This allowed the team to be efficient which helped them enhance their performance and chances of winning the game. Also teammates that were on the beach were cheering and encouraging their teammates. In addition from the sideline the coaches were yelling instructions and giving tips to their player such as whom to block and etc. While there was a lot of communication among teammates, there was very minimal to almost no communication between the competitors. 5. In my observations of the game, I saw that some players and the captains showed more leadership qualities than the rest of the team. For instance, during the game the captain would...
