10/7/16-10/10/16 (Shenandoah National park experience) One the way- I’m on my way to Shenandoah National park that is in Virginia. I plan to stay for three days at one of the cabins in the park. It’s only 75 miles away from the bustle of Washington D.C. I hope that we get two do a lot of cool things like hiking and I hope to learn a lot more about it than I already know. I did a little research on my own to figure out what are the basics of the park, why it is a national park, and the usual weather for it this time of year. I learned that there are four distinct seasons. Its best known for its vibrant fall foliage. In the spring, wildflowers and trees are in full bloom. Summer has greens and welcome relief from the valley temperature while winter has dramatic changes, especially in temperature and snow. The Arrival - I arrived at the national park around seven pm so i decided to go check in at the rustic Lewis Mountain Cabins where I booked a cabin for my family and I. We got to the old rustic cabins which is what I love about the cabins. We got settled in and by that time everyone was tired so we went to lay down. Day 1- I was the first one up as usual so i decided to get everyone else up since i was really excited to get the day started. Once i finally got everyone out of bed we went to eat breakfast. We voted to see what we would be doing the first day. I voted to go hike but i was overruled by my siblings like always ( they wanted to go on the skyline drive). So…

Prince Gabriel Wylie enters the assembly room, surrounded by members of his council, Kingsman, and family; draped in royal purple robes made from the finest silk and wool. The hall was a mixture of elegance and refinement, furnished in red and white linens with flowers and candles, a complete contrast to its appearance just a few hours prior. A long velvet mat parted the floor with nobles standing on the opposite sides of it. An older man with pure white hair, wearing religious robes, holding…

Woman’s group From 1960 to the early 1970s the influx of married women workers accounted for almost half of the increase in the total labor force, and working wives were staying on their jobs longer before starting families. The woman’s group is a group of women that work instead of men when men go to the war. Almost 400,000 women served the armed forces—a number that exceeded total male troop strength in 1939. During WWII, the role of women in the service and on the home front has expanded…

political and economic success this expedition had carried with it; portrayed in the unloading of the Myrrh trees from the ship to plant on Egyptian soil. Hatshepsut is a notable figure in Egyptian Dynastic history, having being born to one of the most powerful and famous royal dynasties to have ever existed. She came from a line of predecessors which had marked and changed history, allowing for the Egyptian Empire to flourish and expand. The pharaoh Ahmose I, the founder of the Eighteenth…

“This court has determined regardless of supposed good intentions, Captain Wallace, you did aid in the death of Admiral Hawthorne by restraining the use of his arm,” Admiral ‘Round’ said, or so I referred to him. His girth surpassed his height so much so that he found need to stretch his arms and roll forward to reach the desk in front of him. “Therefore, you will be removed from service in the Royal Navy and no longer receive benefits associated with a member there of.” There were a number of…

The Royal Navy is the United Kingdom's principal naval warfare force. The modern Royal Navy traces its origins to the early 16th century, it is the oldest of the armed services and is known as the Senior Service. During the 17th century the Royal Navy competed mostly with the Dutch Navy and in the 18th century with the French Navy for world supremacy. From the late 18th century until the mid-1940s it was the most powerful navy in the world, being surpassed by the US Navy after World War II. The…

like these were oftentimes hung in museums and displayed publicly to improve Britain’s cultural identity and sense of nationalism (Hoock 568-569, 590-591). It can be argued that people saw paintings displaying decisive naval victories and then proceeded to further support the British government. According to N.A.M. Rodger, naval expenditures rose throughout the Napoleonic Wars (Roger 644-645). As such, it was vitally important for the British government to keep the citizens content with the…

History shows that when faced with unpalatable choices and the reality of the environment-capability gap, leaders often cycle back to prior phases in the design process . The British Royal Navy confirmed this regression when they dismissed the findings of the 1924-1925 Newport simulations, which revealed superior advantage to carriers that could mass aircraft in repetitive pulses. Although, the Royal Navy lacked this capability, they discounted emerging doctrine from the US Marine Fleet…

Unlike the superiority of Nelson’s unmatched strategy at sea, Napoleon repeatedly failed to grasp the fact that naval operations could not be centrally controlled and work as efficiently as on land (Adkins, 16). Napoleon was foolish, trying to use common land tactics that were “too complicated and too precise to have much chance working at sea” (Adkins, 17). Months before the battle of Trafalgar, Napoleon came to the conclusion that “he must defeat each of the European powers individually”…
