Evolution. Evolution was a notion theorized by Charles Darwin to understand how one species can become another animal in a matter of a few generations, or how animals develop tiny changes within their body to adapt to their environment. As humans continue to advance into the realm of technology, we find ourselves in a path of our own evolution. Evolving in every minute aspect there is.

Cabela’s Company History In the year of 1961, Dick Cabela came up with an idea to sell fishing flies he purchased from a furniture show in Chicago, Illinois. After returning home to Chappell, Nebraska from his trip, he decided to run an ad in a newspaper reading: “12 hand-tied flies for $1”. Unfortunately, this ad only generated one sale for Dick Cabela.

brother’s fairy tales “Little Red Cap” is similar to Perrault’s version in the ways that she is fooled twice by the wolf. Once she is tricked into leaving the path and then the wolf fools her into thinking he is her grandmother in order to get her close enough to eat her (Grimm,). The difference between the two tales is that the story does not end there because LR is saved by a hunter.

Most people aren't aware, but the 2015 club deck almost did not come to fruition. Let me explain... Back in mid-July (2015), I received a phone call from Tom Dawson around supper time. He informed me that Jackson Robinson, who agreed to design the 2015 deck, was backing out of the project for personal reasons. To make matters worse, the deadline to turn in all the artwork for the deck was eight days away. Finding another artist would be highly unlikely, and very difficult. Tom knew this, and it

Critical Discourse Analysis The term Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is used interchangeably with Critical Linguistics (CL). Nonetheless, since not long ago it seems that CDA is preferred to speak of the theory formerly known as CL. CDA considers language a social practice (cf. Fairclough: 1989). This theory regards the social context in which the language is used as crucial. Critical Discourse Analysis directs much of its attention and dedicates a substantial amount of research to the relation

John Hughes’s film The Breakfast Club (1985) resonates with certain modern-day stereotypes of high school students. The film also reflects on how much damage that social status and labels have on people, especially during adolescence.

Kurzel’s adaptation of ‘Macbeth’ remains loyal and truthful to Shakespeare’s language and terminology, characters, setting and plot. It is obvious that the director did not want to deviate from tradition. However, within the midst of the traditional, the film explores later ideas that have arisen such as the appearance of a dead child in the opening scene. Since the play’s creation and debut on stage in the 17th century, theories and questions have been put forward by scholars and fans of Shakespeare
