Eight years ago, I walked alongside my cousin on the way to school. The bustling downtown LA traffic did not stop us. We walked down the crime-filled streets, crossed the hazardous streets, and eventually made it to our destinations. Enrolled in preschool where I danced and played happily with my friends, no one would guess that I was usually at home crestfallen without anybody looking after me. My dad was working 3 low wage jobs, my mom sewing at a clothing factory, and I was walking back and forth

of the mountain. Trey tried his best to keep up, but he looked like he was hobbling more than running. In a couple more steps we were there. The mountain top stretched farther than I could imagine, it was beautiful. “Wow,” is all Trey managed to get out. We both stood there starstruck for what felt like forever. “I can’t believe I almost missed this,” Trey finally managed. “Yeah it’s truly amazing,” I responded. “Hey, take my picture,” Trey asked as he took his oxygen mask off. “Okay,” I agreed. I

The issue with that is that you'd have to change a lot of Alistar's kit to balance around the fact that a tank now has even more reason to stack HP, something Ali was already doing. Instead of not getting much of any bonus from his scalings, Alistar now gets, as OP would suggest, 2% of his max HP in extra healing. Unless you want Riot to basically buff Ali to have some ~80 extra heal in an AoE (albeit reduced when healing allies), they'd have to reduce his base scaling to compensate for some if not

Bay Of Pigs The story of the failed invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, which is located on the south coast of Cuba about 97 miles southeast of Havanna, was one of mismanagement, poor judgment, and stupidity. The blame for the failed invasion falls directly on the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and a young president by the name of John F. Kennedy.

The U.S. mistakenly sent over a thousand inexperienced men into a hostile area with very little equipment, no support, and no element of surprise. The battle was poorly thought out and badly executed from

save the day. One famous fiction children story is the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. In most cases the story is told from the pig’s point of view of how the wolf ate two of his brothers and blew down their houses made of straw and wood.

But only recently have authors published books which tell
