Gary is not just the butthole of Indiana- it's the butthole of Illinois, the USA, and I'd argue the rest of the world as well. To imagine just how terrible Gary is, visualize the grand city of Chicago. It's nowhere near perfect, and is on the decline, but still has fantastic neighborhoods and is home to millions. Now, make the city 10-15 times smaller, remove every skyscraper and notable landmark from your imagined skyline, double the number of factories, and add a distinct, disgusting smell that
Humorous Wedding Speech by Friend of Groom Ladies and gentlemen, thanks Gary for those kind words. It has been a pleasure for all us attendants to play a small part in your big day. Before I say a word or two about the groom, what about that dress Jeanie is wearing? It has attracted so much favorable comment from the guests here that I have to give it a special mention. You look stunning Jeanie! When Gary asked me to be his best man I immediately thought of the speech. I saw it as an opportunity
Were there any moments when your gender was a help or hindrance in a particular job or educational experience? Is there anything about being “male” or being “female” that you can see encouraged the choices you made? If you were a different gender would you have made different choices? Looking back at the course material, what one concept that you learned in this class helps you to understand yourself and your educational and occupational history?

The first think that I see when I walk outside everyday is the layer of haze that looms across the Wasatch Front. It doesn’t surprise me that The American Lung Association gave Salt Lake City an F, on our “State of the Air” report card. (American Lung Association,2013).What companies are the biggest contributor to our pollution? Should our children suffer the consequences of pollution? There are many causes and effects of pollution along the Wasatch Front, which includes large industrial companies

creating energy, wind power has made its impact in the Midwest and has reached its way into Indiana. The use of wind power has proved it’s worth and will be a better investment for Indiana and the surrounding states because it is a renewable resource that pays for itself. As commuters travel north on I-65 through rural Indiana, they pass through the Meadow Lake Wind Farm. For some Hoosiers, the wind

The Great Lakes are the largest surface freshwater system on Earth, with a basin that is home to around 30 million people (USEPA, 2015). Lake Michigan is the only one of the Great Lakes that lies entirely within the United States, with a maximum length of 307 miles and maximum width of 118 miles. The Lake Michigan shoreline, composed mainly of sand and pebble beaches, stretches 1,640 miles along the coasts of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, as well as some islands (NOAA, 2015a).

The New Marid Seismic Zone is located in the Central Mississippi Valley and includes portions of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The Wabash Valley Zone is located between southeastern Illinois and southwestern Indiana. The earliest report of an earthquake in Illinois is in the year of 1795 at Kaskaskia.

greater issue than that of conservation in this country,” and set aside 230 million acres of protected nature in the form of national parks, forests, game preserves and bird reservations (Almanac). Since his pioneering preservation acts, states, counties and even nongovernment-affiliated organizations have set aside and preserved land. One such organization is the Little River Wetlands Project whose mission “is to restore and protect wetlands in the watershed of the Little River, a major tributary
fishing under lights in the larger, clear reservoirs seems more productive here than day fishing. Crappie action is in lakes Norfolk, Bull Shoals, Ouachita, Hamilton, Greeson, and Sugar Loaf. Gas lanterns or sealed beam lights are used, and directed down into 20-to-60 foot deep water. Minnows are choice bait. FLORIDA: The Lake Okeechobee Rim Canal (especially around the cuts through
In addition to Purdue’s campus and diversity, Purdue is part of the 8% of universities in Indiana that allows students to pursue Actuarial Science. Only 50% of those schools have an Ultimate Frisbee team, a sport I plan to pursue in college. Furthermore, Purdue’s hospitality and members were very welcoming every time I visited the campus, whether
I have involved in the planning and implementation of educational programs in a variety of locations throughout Indiana. I have been able to work with community members and strengthen the Park Place neighborhood of Anderson, Indiana through an after school program. I have also implemented a variety of programs through Lake County, Indiana 4-H by working with mini 4-H members through one day educational camps as well as taught showmanship clinics and workshops to 4-Her’s third

This is not surprising to me. According the Table 10 of the FBI-UCR, Lake County, Indiana had only 38 violent crimes and 1 murder (FBI- UCR, 2013). This is impossible and proves that agencies are not

His family moved to Birmingham, Alabama, where his younger brother Hank was born. His family moved again, to Orlando, Florida, and here Green attended Lake Highland Preparatory School.

Boats would travel East with supplies from the Great Lakes and the surrounding territory and return with settlers and passengers travelling West, which became an extensive business (Johnson 375). The economic success and prosperity of the Canal also provided motivation for the construction of railroads West
The Great Lakes Tribes The Indians were the first inhabitants of the Great lakes region. They were there tens for tens of thousands of years before the first settlers from Europe came. The European settlers were very curious about the Indians. The Indians lived a very different life than the Europeans. The Indians lived off the land. They farmed, hunted for food, gathered berries, and gathered water from the nearby stream. The Great Lake Tribes are not only in the United States but some are located
There is an important crisis in the Indian River Lagoon that nobody really wants to address. Why? Well, if everyone knew that the lagoon was so polluted, nobody would swim in it. In fact, the five counties bordering the 156 miles of the lagoon could suffer extreme economic loss. If tourists don’t come to visit the area, then the beach-side shops will certainly decrease in number, leaving more people without a job.
