He most notably resurrected Hippolytos at his aunt [[Artemis]]' request.

In recent years, the number of Pit bull attacks have incited massive debate over the treatment of the breed in Victoria. Animal bloodlust by Nick Papps advocates for the complete ban on the dogs by implementing a belligerent and malicious tone, criticizing the government’s lack of action, and calling for immediate change. Graeme Smith’s Ban the breeding undertakes a more logical tone to acknowledge the misuse of pit bulls and providing alternatives to simply banning their presence in Victoria all together. These are contrasted by Killing pit bulls is illogical by Colin Muir. He, with a direct and aggrieved tone, denounces the reactionary legislation placed by the government. Muir instead blames the owners for the mal treatment of the dogs.…
Since the creation of religion, there has always been a debate to whether or not religion is the main cause of conflicts throughout history. In Karen Armstrong’s book “Fields of Blood”, she argues that people use religion as an excuse for the cause of wars and ignore all other aspects. Karen Armstrong is correct. Throughout history, there were many wars and conflicts that weren’t caused by religion yet many leaders used the blame of religion to their advantage to conceal their true intentions. Wars using religion as a cover up for power is shown in the expansion of the Islamic Empire and in ISIS, while motivation from religion opposes Armstrong’s idea.…
Analyzing blood is the worst part of the job to me. It is one the main reasons why I might not pursue this specific career in Criminal Justice. I can’t deal with blood because it affects me mentally. I can talk about it, but the sight may make me nauseous or I could faint, especially if it’s a large amount (pool stains). I could sit and watch the most gruesome horror movie and eat dinner while watching it. However, I do feel I may get over that hump like if I talk about it more and the repetitive experience through the job. I searched around the web and found a few interesting facts about blood splatter analysis. I also found a video explaining blood splatter and its relation to the murder case involving a hammer in Arizona. I will post the…
