...The Confederate invasion of the North in September of 1862 was an attempt by Robert E. Lee to swing the war in favor of the South. The main reason for the Confederate invasion was that the British were on the verge of recognizing the Confederacy if they could show it could hold its own, and Lee was anxious to provide a cornerstone for the Confederacy to build upon. The Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest day in American history and was a major blow to the Army of Northern Virginia and the morale of the south. This is the tableau against which our story unfolds. Stephen W. (Ward) Sears was born July 27th, 1932 in Ohio. He is a pre-eminent American historian specializing in all facets of the Civil War. He graduated from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio and was an attendee of a journalism seminar at Radcliffe-Harvard. As a novelist, he has concentrated on the military history of the Civil War, primarily focusing his works on the battles involving and leaders of the Army of the Potomac. He was formerly employed as an editor for the Educational Department at the American Heritage Publishing Company. Sears currently resides in Norwalk, Connecticut. Some of the other books he has written on the Civil War are Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, To the Gates of Richmond: The Peninsula Campaign, and George B. McClellan: The Young Napoleon. However, it is his novel, Landscape Turned Red: The Battle of Antietam, that we are concerned with here. It is a fantastic book detailing the battle of...

...This was understandable as the Confederacy needed to retain all the territory of the seceding states as grounds for recruitment and sources of supply for its army, as well as demonstrating sovereignty over a clearly defined realm that would help the cause for foreign recognition. This continued until April of 1862, at the battle of Shiloh and Fair Oaks, the South went over to the limited offensive when certain of its leaders believed that the Confederacy’s politically defensive purpose in the war, to protect its claim to independence, did not necessarily require a defensive strategy. Most notable among the Confederate leaders ready to break loose from the inheritance of defensive military thought were General Lee, at the time military advisor to Confederate President Davis, and General Jackson, commander of a small Confederate force in the Shenadoah...

...visions himself whenever Louie ran. Pete saw potential in his brother and encouraged Louie to join the track team at their high school where he began breaking state records in track. His talent allowed him to be part of the U.S.A’s Olympic team at the German Olympic Games in 1936. Thus not all stories have a happy ending, evidenced by the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy Louie rejoined the Army Air Corp due to the signing on a contract. As a result, when he first joined the Army Air Corp, he did not enjoy it, but his contract mandated him to rejoin the Army Air Corps whenever war happens, and made him a bombardier. In Hawaii, Louie met Russell Allen Phillips who becomes his pilot and closest friend. Together they bomb many parts of Japan, where every mission defined the question of survival until the unexpected occurred. The crew suffered an aircraft accident that crashed in the Pacific Ocean on May 27, 1943. For 47 days, Phil, Louie, and Mac were survivors on a raft at the Pacific Ocean suffering from starvation and unwelcoming of Japan troops, who murdered Mac. Louie and Philip were then captured by Japanese troops and became prisoners of war (POW). Here, the Japanese military scourge humiliated and killed prisoners to get information. Louie was moved to different POW camps in Japan and in each camp, he suffered more illness, humiliations, since he met a guard Mutsuhiro Watanabe known as "The Bird” who gave daily beatings to Louie for no apparent reason. Louie...

...after Bo served a tour of duty in the army. He was never deployed overseas so he quickly returned to his coaching career after his time in the army. Bo restarted his career by going to coach at Presbyterian College as a coach's assistant in 1954. The following year he took a job at Bowling Green State University as the freshman coach. Bo’s first major job came to him by his old friend and teammate Ara Paraseghan. Ara had become head coach at Northwestern University and brought Bo on as defensive assistant in 1956. After two years in northwestern old coach and friend Woody Hayes offered Bo a job at Ohio state as Woody’s assistant. In 1958 Bo was hired and according to Hayes, Bo was one of the best assistants he ever had. During Bo’s time at Ohio State Woody and his became great friends and Bo quickly became Hayes favorite assistant coach. Bo would often tell the tale of how many times he was “fired” from his job at Ohio State but he was always chased down before he could exit the building by an assistant. Bo stayed at Ohio State for five years and because of all of Hayes praise about Bo he started making a name for himself and a prime candidate for a head coaching job. Bo was contacted by his alma mater in 1963 for the position of head coach. Bo accepted the job and became the coach at Miami University of Ohio.

...performance. Nigel Tart (Teeman,2007), a math teacher, said that he was afraid that he will lose his job because of his sexual orientation, also he was constantly insulted and graffiti were drawn over his desk. Deborah Fenny (Green, 2007), who worked for the York University Christian Union, lost her job because the presidents of the CU considered thet she does not represent the aims and values of the CU, because she is bisexual. In the case of Janis Hewit (Mac Andrew, et al., 2001), who was to become mayor, there were disagreements such as the one of Gareth James, chairman of the local Conservatives, who said “It is not the sort of thing we associate with this town. Things like this don’t happen here” ( in MacAndrew, et al., 2001, p.31). Similar were the statements about the Government’s decision to permit homosexuals to join the army. Commander Brigadier Howards Jones said “I have no personal problem with homosexuals, but I do believe strongly from both a moral and a military point of view that there is no place for them in the army” ( in MacAndrew, et al., 2001, p.31). In my opinion, all people deserve equal treatment in their workplace.Discrimination should not be present in today modern societies. We are all people, we all have the same rights.

...I have leftover mac 'n cheese waiting for me at home," I told him rushingly. And I was serious. "Just give it a moment- I'm waiting for someo-" He was cut off by the door opening. "Sir, you asked for me?" A husky voice behind me announced. Now, who was he, interuptting my meeting. Turning around, I spotted a guy probably not older than me by much, with messy brunette hair, approximately 6"3. Looked like he was from the Valley. He was sporting a tightish black half button up quarter length shirt, that grabbed his torso and biceps flatteringly, and black slim straight jeans that didn't cling onto his legs too much, but fitted snuggly. He wore some unique Timberlands worker boots that really caught my eyes- where can I get those? Ahem, I am not checking him out, only subtly observing? Plus, he's a disturbance, I was trying to get through my meeting quick. The mac 'n cheese was calling my name. "Excuse me, can you step out and wait 'til we finis-" but Brick cuts me when opening his mouth. "No, Carter, he suppose to be here," he looked like he wanted to continue, but I beat him to it. "So, can I leave then?" I interrogated Brick, with a bit of an attitude. I don't know what automatically...

...WHEAT (Triticumaestivum) BACKGROUND TO THE CROP It is the one of most important food grain crops in India and occupies approximately 230 million ha all over the world. India is the second largest producer of wheat, with 25million ha area under cultivation resulting in wheat production of 70 million tonnes. About one tenth of the globe’s production is from India. Wheat is grown during winter in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. While in the northern states it is grown as an irrigated crop, it is grown largely under rain-fed conditions and with little or no irrigation support in many parts of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. In Maharashtra, wheat is grown in 7 lakh ha with average productivity of 13.2 q/ha against the national average of about 26.5 q/ha. Out of the four species, Triticum aestivum occupies almost 90% of the total wheat area. Soil Requirement Well-drained loams and clay loams are ideal for wheat cultivation. However, a good crop can be raised in sandy loams and black soils also. Soil pH below 6.5 and above 7.8 is not suitable. Season and Duration Being a low temperature crop, wheat is grown in winter, from the end of October to February under rain-fed conditions, and from the middle of November to March/April under irrigated conditions. Total duration of the crop ranges from 110 to 120 days under irrigated conditions, and 100–110 days under rain-fed conditions. Cropping Pattern Wheat...

...Obsolescent Apple Introduction The ethical issue I have decided to dissect for this assignment is the issue of built-in obsolescence. This act, also known as planned obsolescence, is the intentional action of a manufacturer to create a built-in a point of failure or a pre-planned expiration date into a product (Investopedia, n.d.). This is done so as to force consumers to continually replace their products with newer versions, thereby increasing the manufacturer’s profits. This is clearly an ethical violation that most people would be outraged to know is a common practice in a variety of products, and at one point in time was actually encouraged in order to help our country break free from the great depression (White, 2008). Though this practice could serve to stimulate the economy, it is wrong to purposely cause products with the potential to last a decade, to only last a couple of years. This is not only wasteful, but it cheats consumers out of the option to hold onto products until they either become legitimately obsolete, or break due to normal wear and tear. While some companies are worse than others when it comes to a built-in obsolescence, there is one electronics manufacture that, in my opinion, is the worst of the bunch. It is a company that started out with a sincere and humble beginning, then rose to fame in the electronics world, but has since fallen far from the tree, so to speak. Fact based scenario Apple Incorporated has been at the heart of controversy...

...Bringing Research to Life. To begin, let’s look at Application Development. Application Development In the scenario provided, we look at Apple® and their application development. The company, founded in 1976, started with computers however, transformed to the iPod® in 2001 and eventually to the iPhone® and iPad®. To keep up with technology, Apple® has add to develop their own programs and to remain competitive it depends on other companies or individuals to submit applications for use on Apple® products. This scenario estimated that it costs approximately $55,000 to generate an application for the Apple® mobile digital device. As the Apple® states on the website (Apple, 2014), they “review all apps submitted to the App Store and Mac App Store to ensure they are reliable, perform as expected, and are free of offensive material.” What research would I want see in a proposal to approve a new app for the Apple® mobile digital device? Why? First item I would look for in the proposal is if it followed the guidelines outlined on the Apple® website. Following this guideline will at least get the application through my door. If the developer cannot follow these simple rules might mean they...

...During a search and rescue mission aboard the “Green Hornet”, mechanical difficulties cause the plane to spiral towards the ocean. In an explosion of debris, the plane hits the ocean killing all but 3 members of the crew. The survivors are Louie, “Phil” the pilot, and “Mac” the tail gunner. They drift across the ocean feeding on birds and sharks around them, water all around them but they are thirstier than ever, 33 days in Mac dies. “They bowed their heads together as Louie prayed. If God would quench their thirst he vowed, he’d dedicate his life to him. The next day by divine intervention or the fickle humors of the tropics, the sky broke open and rain poured down.” (pg152). On the 47th day they reach land. There they are captured by the Japanese where they were sent to strings of POW camps where they are beaten severely to the verge of death, tormented, humiliated, and given minimal amounts of food. Louie showed perseverance even when things got worse and...

...Smack! Louie, a POW in Japan, stands back up after his daily beatings during WWII. Louie had some rough patches when he was younger, that was until he found track. His brother, Pete, coached him all the way to the Olympics. He was eventually drafted in the army once WWII had started, since the U.S. was in dire need of more soldiers. In the book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand Louie’s defining traits are rebellious and determined. Louie was determined to stay alive. “Louie, Phil, and Mac clawed for the raft walls and threw themselves overboard. They swam under the rafts and huddled there, wincing, watching bullets cut bright slits in the water around them.”(p.118) Louie, starving and weak, still had it in him to get into the ocean to evade the bullets taking a chance with the sharks. On page 186 it says, “The Bird beat him...
