- Pluton (new)
Armament
Pluton was originally intended to carry two single turrets, one each fore and aft, with 203 mm (8 in) guns, four 75 mm (2.95 in) anti-aircraft (AA) guns and four light 37 mm (1.46 in) AA guns. However four 138 mm (5.4 in) guns were substituted for the 203 mm guns before construction began and six more 37 mm guns were added in lieu of the 75 mm guns during construction although the baseplates for the 75 mm guns were retained for future use.[6]
The four 138 mm 40-caliber guns were on M1...

- Poop
rotagonists of both plays experience the slow unraveling of their lives by living in constant denial of their tragic circumstances. However, while Oedipus Rex searches for the truth of his troubled past, Willy Loman spends much of the play contemplating his past and searching for moments in his life where he went wrong. In addition, Oedipus\' character attempts to hold an honorable demeanor as he discovers the shame in his past. Conversely, Willy Loman embraces his shame and seems to dig his who...
- Rizal
Here in my post, I would like to give the ten (10) sobresaliente moments that Dr. Jose Rizal taught me, and probably taught you, and better yet, taught each and every Filipinos. These are only my thoughts and ideas so it is all up to you if you want to agree or not.

Dr. Rizal's famous quote about loving our own language |
1. BEING A POLYGLOT - As far as I know, Rizal has a mind of a genius in any aspect. And being a genius, could you imagine that he could speak 22 different foreign language...
- A pair of Tickets
ing-Mei and her father have purchased “a pair of tickets” and are on their way to China to meet the lost twins, which will fulfill Suyuan’s dream. As they near the country of their heritage, Jing-Mei begins to feel pensive, sentimental, and strangely Chinese. She thinks about her mother’s passing remarks about the twins and her own shock when she learned that they had been located. She also thinks about the fact that she could not bring herself to write and tell the twins that Suyuan was dead. I...

- the love of me
John D. Rockefeller, a self-made man, started his career with an oil refining company in Cleveland, Ohio and through tactful vertical and horizontal integration found himself the captain of petroleum, having control over ninety percent of the oil refining industry at one time. One man having achieved such success and power left some critics to question Rockefeller’s business ethics and strategies of obtaining his goals. Although the critics had valid reasons for suspicion, none can argue with Ro...
- First
My heart was pumping so fast; I thought my chest was going to burst wide open. Dragging my bags along the cold floor of the airport, I could hardly suppress the fear, and excitement running through my body. I kept telling myself, " An event of a lifetime was about to be fulfilled." Adrenaline was running through my veins like ice water. People were speedily going around as if I were standing still. I could hardly wait to board the airplane, even though I had no idea of what to expect. Always wa...
- The Treaty Of Versailles
The signing of the Treaty of Versailles was the official end of World War One between Germany and the Allied Powers save Russia because Russia had previously signed a separate treaty with Germany. It took six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to actually sign the treaty. The armistice was signed on November 11, 1918 and the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919 in Versailles, France. The treaty took so long to sign because many of the major allied powers had diffe...

- Why Unique?
Perhaps the most important influence that has shaped the person I am today is my upbringing in a traditional family-oriented Persian and Zoroastrian culture. My family has been an important source of support in all of the decisions I have made, and Zoroastrianism's three basic tenets-good words, good deeds, and good thoughts-have been my guiding principles in life. Not only do I try to do things for others, but I always push myself to be the best that I can be in all aspects of my life. I saw ea...

Literary Ramblings: A Handmaid’s Tale; The Feminist 1984?
Margaret Atwood’s A Handmaid’s Tale has oft been referred to a feminist incarnation of George Orwell’s 1984, and the comparison’s are understandable in that the novel’s jacket touts the work as an “Orwellian” vision and is even structured like 1984 in that the narrative within is accompanied by some fictional “historical notes”, much as Orwell’s novel had an appendix which so...
