They worry that if Iran decides not to honor the deal, and they start to rebuild their nuclear sites, that any preemptive strike will not be successful because Iran’s capabilities will match or even outperform the attacking country

Ernest Hemingway’s Hills like White Elephants
The short story Hills like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway is a story about a man and woman who are sitting at a bar at a small train station somewhere in Spain. They seem to be having a heated conversation about a mysterious “operation”. The author never explicitly says what the issue is between the man and woman, but it can be assumed it is about a huge and personal decision they have to make because of the literary devices the author uses. Throughout the story the author hints at what the mysterious operation really is. Hemingway uses symbolism, setting, and imagery to convey

When I was a child, my late father and I would spend every moment of the summer season on

and stare at the sky, until the swirling clouds began to take on our imaginative shapes mingled
together by our fantastical minds. We would grip imaginary weapons and fight, thrusting swords
like the most violent of fantasy pirates. These unforgettable days went on and on, a never ending

In order to understand the threats that robotics may pose to human employment in the future, it is important to examine the ways in which robots and computerization are already influencing different employment industries today, and how they have changed our labor practices in the past.

Fitzgerald purposefully portrays Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan in contrasting ways to emphasise the variety of money within the American market, during the era in which the novel is set. A major difference between the two men is ‘new money’ and ‘old money’, where Gatsby represents ‘new money’, but Daisy and Tom represent ‘old money’. The contrast between the two comes down to where the money originated from; "Old money" families have fortunes dating from the 19th century or before, have built up powerful and influential social connections and tend to hide their wealth and

A home automation system typically connects controlled devices to a central hub or "gateway". The user interface for control of the system uses either wall-mounted terminals, tablet or desktop computers, a mobile phone application, or a Web interface, that may also be accessible off-site through the Internet. Also it will control lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances. It may also include home security such as access control and alarm systems. When they are connected with the Internet, home devices are an important constituent of the Internet of Things.

Fredrich Nietzche once said “The individual has always struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the the privilege of owning yourself.” In my opinion, I believe this quote is true. Many people feel like they have to be a certain way for society to like them. When in reality, they want to be true to to themselves, but they are fearful of judgement.

Friedman presented the example of Dell because it runs one of the major global supply chain networks in the world.

The rose with large, sharp thorns in my visual representation symbolizes Katherine as she does not obey men and physically harms them to get what she wants as even though she is pretty and has high status she has a dangerous, sharp personality. The colour of the rose represents her love, passion and anger as she has many layers much like the rose

Genetic engineering is also called genetic modification or GM. It involves modifying the genome of an organism by introducing a gene from another organism to result in a desired characteristic.
How has genetic engineering worked until now, and what are the limitations?
Generally it uses what’s known as a bacterial vector. In simple terms, you take the stretch of DNA you want to insert into an organism – say, for example, the DNA that makes a carrot produce vitamin A. You insert it into a bacterium, usually agrobacterium tumefaciens, and you introduce that bacterium into the organism you want to modify, say a rice plant.

In developed nations such as the United States, polite phrases and etiquette such as “Nice to meet you” or “How are you?” are friendly and useful for small talk, but they are completely empty of true meaning and goodwill due to centuries of repetition, and should be avoided as they are a waste of words and breath if a person does not truly mean it.
Common phrases such as “please” and “thank you” have lost their meaning. They act only as the default frame of conversations, but they have no substance or sincerity. The origin of certain etiquette such as saying “goodbye” or “farewell” to guests is the ancient Nordic value of hospitality. Guests were seen as a test sent

There was no word for discrimination against the Deaf community until 1975, yet, individuals faced brutal physical and mental torment hundreds of years.

Dear Sir,
I was a soldier in World War I. Fighting at the front has changed my life. I lost many friends, but I also saw what the war was like. It was not just ‘‘Germany against the Allies’’, there were many other powers involved. I do not want to defend what the Germans did, but we were often not much better.
When I first saw the treaty of Versailles I agreed to most of the points. However, there are a few points I want to criticize. Article 231 is an example of this. In some parts, it is surely right to give Germany the war guilt, but when one thinks about it, the beginning of the war was a chain reaction and Germany just did the first

Napoleon in Europa: Besatzung oder Befreiung?

Es gab Vorteile zum Geschehen, jedoch war es ins Gesammt weit entfernt von einer Befreiung.

Das Ziel war ein grosses Staat mit der Hauptstadt in Paris, wobei Import und Export vereinfacht wären und bei Kriegen ein Bündniss.

The Rock
I caught sight of my three friends waiting for me at the lockers. Brittaney, Kelly and Sophia. Simultaneously they turned around and smiled. Their smiles shining almost as brightly as their platinum blonde hair. “Hey Sascha!” “Hey guys!” I called back. “Oh my god girl, we were just talking about the stupid English assignment Miss Leddilsby set us.” Kelly sniped. “She is the worst teacher ever” agreed Sophia. Oh no, I actually like Miss Leddilsby.
I swallowed hard and nodded meekly. Just then, the bell rung. Thank goodness. As we entered the history classroom together Brittaney got this evil grin on her face. “Yo guys!” she whispered-shouted. “What?” asked Sophia. Brittaney paused

They would be questioned whether or not they’ve vaccinated their children and if so, they would also be asked if their ASD was caused by vaccinations. The dates of the vaccinations would be analyzed to find correlations. Other major factors that cause an increased risk of ASD are parental age, pregnancy and birth complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, and multiple pregnancies at the same time, and genetic predisposition. So the parents would be asked several

the country's authority and interests. In John McCain’s, “Veterans Day: Never Forget Their Duty” analyzes that “We must never forget those thousands of Americans who, with their courage, with their sacrifice and with their lives, made those words live for all of us” (7), defines that Veterans sacrificed their loves for us, we can’t forget those who sacrificed their lives for us. McCain reveals that patriotism is someone who respects, love your country or who stands up for their country.
Many people dream about being an American. They dream because they envision American as the land of peace and prosperity. People in the United States differ greatly in beliefs, physical appearances, and heritage; yet we all call ourselves American. To be American is not as simple as being born in the United States. To be an American is about embracing the culture and way of life. Americans can enjoy freedom of speech and are part of a diverse and rich culture.

“Superman's
Song”
Tarzan wasn't a ladies man/ He'd just come along and scoop 'em
Up under his arm like that/ Quick as a cat, in the jungle/
Clark Kent, now there was a real gent/ He would not be caught sittin' around in no
jungle scape / Dumb as an ape, doin' nothing/ Superman never made any money
Savin' the world from Solomon Grundy/ And sometimes I despair
The world will never see another man like him/ Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job/
Even though he coulda smashed through/ Any bank in the United States/
He had the strength but he would not/ Folks said his family were all dead/
Planet crumbled, but Superman he forced himself/ To carry on, forget Krypton, and
keep goin
