We parked in the Dolphin lot. The memories started to flood back. It had been years since I visited Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Only this time, I was not with my family. I wasn't with my parents, or even my brother. I was with two of my friends. We thought it would be a fun thing to do, go to Disney, trip the day away, see what it would feel like going as adults on our own. Not that it was cheap: the price tag really stung -- something I never had to think about when I was a starry-eyed little kid. As a teenager we stopped going to Disney World as a family. Probably because of the divorce, there was never enough time to take the family together on a fun vacation. It seemed like all we did was argue and do homework. This felt liberating, driving her on my own, just with a good friend of mine.
The monorail looked a lot spiffier. The signs were definitely new, but the system was easy to understand, as it was last time I was here. Scores of families shared the car with us -- some pasty, white, and very fat -- others slim and less embarrassingly American looking. Did Americans always look this obvious? I thought. No wonder the whole world makes fun of us. I always knew in my head that "Americans are fat," but to see it right here, right now, in this crowded little monorail car headed to the Magic Kingdom? It was shocking. The statistic is about right, I thought. About one in every three of the adult were fat (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). It appeared as if nearly the same number...

This is a part of the competition between states to draw more persons into the states, and even in each county. This year the stakes are very high for the counties as the economy has been expanding, the dollar is weak and a number of big
Animals in captivity, for example, have often been genetically, behaviorally or anatomically manipulated in order to enhance acclimation to the new environment. Similarly, animals have been neutered, declawed or defanged to be more compatible with their human keepers. Those who are in support of captivity of animals need to revisit such earlier condoned behavior and ensure that animals receive necessary care, nutrition and exercise and live in proper caging
Resource The Everglades subtropical wetlands in Florida are recognized for their unique features and for the fact that they are one of the most beautiful places in North America. The territory is also impressive for the fact that it is one of the largest wetlands in the world. Water and fire are two of the two main elements shaping the land, given that floods and draughts constantly affect it. In
There was an increase in the number of respondents from 58% in earlier studies, implying increased acceptance of the possibility that ESP existed or was real (Schmeidler). 2005 Gallup poll said that 41% of Americans believed in ESP (Carroll 2006). This represented a decrease from surveys in the last decade at 50%. ESP and other paranormal capabilities, such as telekinesis, have been rejected or disputed. However, systematic research on these
