Parts Of A Bomb
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 466.... cases of hand grenades are lightweight because troops carry these small bombs and throw them at the enemy. Most time bombs are built according to the circumstances and concealed next to their target. They may consist of explosives and a timer in a cardboard box or some other inconspicuous casing.

He says the main problem is not students holding jobs but the agents bribing students. Even by having jobs this will not help the NCAA from sports agents.

The Patriotic Canadian
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 295.... For as long as I can remember, Canada has promoted peace any way possible. The United States, on the other hand, has the saying “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” They promote peace, but in a violent way.
I know Canada has its problems, such as the Quebec ‘crisis’. Quebec just has its own provincialisms, which I personally see as a little extreme, but every province wants to be independent, to a certain extent. I am proud how Canada handled that problem. Let Quebec vote, and see if they will separate. The only thing different that .....

Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1861.... their minds linked to
