In the Book of Genesis, Eve is the world’s first woman created by God to be a wife to Adam. Eve is placed in the Garden of Eden and allowed to eat any fruit except the fruit of The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil because if she eats it she will die. A snake convinces her to eat it anyway. She then gives it to her husband who also eats it. They then realize they are naked. An angel is then sent to banish her and Adam from the garden so that they can’t eat the fruit of The Tree of Life and live forever. God gives them clothes and says that Eve will become the mother of all humans and be very respected but that her husband will rule over her. Eve gives birth to a son and she names him Cain. She then gives birth to a second son named Abel.

Leonard’s parents made him learn to play the cello and become a scientist even though he wanted to be a rapper “like Snoop Dogg but with a little more healthy respect for the police”. Leonard was on the debate team in school and says that if he had not had glasses, he would have been “the coolest kid on the debate team to get constantly shoved into his locker.” Leonard also mentions that he once had a bully who gave him such a terrible wedgie that it temporarily moved one of his testicles.

Candice Pitts
Candice Pitts (born Belize City) is a Belizean politician and educator. She has been serving as a Councillor for Belize City since March 7, 2018 and PUP Standard Bearer for the Mesopotamia Constituency since August 3, 2019. Pitts has also served as a professor at the University of Belize and at Albany State University in the United States.
Candice Pitts was born in Belize City, Belize. She was the only child in her family. Her parents did not struggle in showing her affection. One of her parents' biggest challenges was managing the income they both earned. Both her parents worked. They were not as wealthy as those of her classmates, but they raised her with care. After successfully completing her primary and secondary education, Pitts went on to study at the University of Belize. She initially wanted to study abroad, but her parents still did not have enough money to pay for her to do so. At university, Pitts decided to pursue law because she was interested in the legal system. Pitts participated in debates concerning law in Belize. She even made a speech on how corrupt the legal system of the island was under the United Democratic Party (UDP) government. She graduated from university at the age of 24.
After her graduation, Pitts went back to the University of Belize and this time applied to be an educator there. After looking at her record in the university during her years as a student, the president gladly appointed Pitts educator, making her the youngest person to become an educator there. Pitts would describe her years at the University of Belize as both rewarding and challenging. She explained her experiences by saying, "I take great pride in being a member of our national university, as it affords me the opportunity to contribute to and become instrumental in the process of nation-building here in Belize. We may concur that being an educator is one of the most effective ways to contribute to national development." She pointed out some of the challenges she observed, explaining, "A part of those challenges is the endeavor to strike an important balance between the intense teaching load, the commitment to research and publication, and the need to be of service internal and external to the university. Invariably, a faculty member falls short of striking the balance." She made a very good observation that students have difficulty with communication and expressing themselves in the English language both orally and in writing.
As an educator, Pitts feels that her objective is to have her students understand that they can Read about themselves and can Write about a better World as they imagine it should be. One of her favorite quotations is from William Shakespeare: "All the world's a stage/ And all the man and woman merely players."
While Pitts was serving as an educator at the University of Belize, the "Amandala", Belize's leading newspaper, recruited her to write for them. She accepted the offer in 2015 and worked there for three years. She first served as their political editor in 2016 and was later moved to Assistant Professor and Researcher. In 2017, Pitts wrote three publications: A book on the evolution of print media in Belize and two scholarly essays on nation building in the works of Jamaica Kincaid and Margaret Cezaire-Thompson, respectively. Pitts has wrote several news articles for "Amandala".
On 3 August 2016, she was invited to read an extract of her Phd dissection to Margery Liang, the wife of the judge, professor, and diplomat Edward Liang. Her dissertation was firmly rooted in nationalism in the English-speaking Caribbean with a focus on the works of Kincaid, Thompson and Belize's own Zee Edgell and how they represented the nationalist movements in their countries. There are also ongoing efforts to organize a public lecture led by Pitts which will coincide with the September celebrations.
"My Position is that Belizeans should think about their society, cultures, and politics critically. Edgell's novel has allowed [them to] do just that. My article can help Belizeans to look at socio-cultural and political issues I raised both critically and differently," said Pitts. Pitts also told "Amandala", "I am more excited about publishing an article that discusses Belizean issues and having [it] available for global readership."
On 29 November 2017, Pitts wrote an article named "Belize, a nation (still) in the making: Women in Belize's development," which outlined the various accomplishments made by women in Belizean politics and how the two major political parties should do more to get women involved. The article was published in the international journal on contemporary writing, "Wasafari Journel". The essay adds to the body of existing literature on Beka Lamb by revealing ways in which Edgell, through Beka, helps to reconceptualise the Belizean nation and attempts to re/locate woman from the margins to the center of nationalist discourse. It also adds to the body of existing literature by filling in an understanding of Belize's nationalism, by emphasizing the de facto contributions of female activists.

Corn dog
A corn dog is a sausage on a stick coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter and deep-fried. The sausage used in a corn dog is usually the same types that are used in hot dogs. It is a popular type of fast food or street food.
Corn dogs originate from the United States in the 1920s. It is commonly found in American cuisine. They are found as a frozen food at most supermarkets.
Corn dogs were first introduced by German Texans in the 1920s. The corn dog was first made as just a sausage rolled in cornbread battered and fried. Many years later, sticks were added to corn dogs as a unique food-holding tool that would later create the modern corn dog.
On 1927, the idea of fried food on a stick was filed for a patent in the US. On 1929, the patent was accepted. On the patent, it states that many foods other than sausages can also be used in the same way that a corn dog is prepared. The patent also states that by having a stick, the stick would allow the fried food to be handled and eaten in a cleaner way.
The earliest known year when the corn dog was first prepared in the US was on 1937. During a high school baseball game in Adel, Iowa, ballpark vendors ran out of hot dog buns for their hot dogs. Roger Newman, a local tavern owner who runs one of the vendors, took the remaining hot dogs in order to make corn dogs without sticks. He breaded each hot dog in a cornmeal batter that he had prepared for an upcoming fish fry, and returned to the ballpark with these corn dogs. Even though there were not any sticks for any of the corn dogs, patrons held the corn dogs with a wide variety of different methods. Some patrons held the corn dogs with wax paper, paper cones, and even pocket knives.
Many current corn dog vendors believed that they invented or popularized the corn dog. Carl and Neil Fletcher claimed that they had popularized the corn dog by introducing "Corny Dogs" at the State Fair of Texas sometime between 1938 and 1942. The Pronto Pup vendors at the Minnesota State Fair claim to have invented the corn dog in 1941. On June 16, 1946, Cozy Dog Drive-in, in Springfield, Illinois, claims to have been the first to serve corn dogs on sticks. Also on 1946, Dave Barham opened the first location of Hot Dog on a Stick at Muscle Beach in Santa Monica, California.

Steering the Craft
A black site is a place where prisoners are kept in secret.
The term was invented for places controlled by the CIA and used by the U.S. government in its War on Terror. They are used to hold people the CIA think are 'unlawful enemy combatants'.
U.S. President George W. Bush acknowledged the existence of secret prisons operated by the CIA during a speech on September 6, 2006. A claim that the black sites existed was made by "The Washington Post" in November 2005 and before this by human rights NGOs.
On the one hand, there is little or no legal authority for the operation of black sites by the United States or any other countries. On the other hand, many of the atrocities committed by anti-Western groups against civilians are far beyond the Geneva Conventions of war.

All of the Aston University's faculties are based on one campus. They are organised into the following five schools:
The university's arms were granted on 18 March 1955 by Garter, Clarenceux and Norroy and Ulster Kings of Arms to the Birmingham Corporation. This was for use by the former College of Technology. They were designed to show the College's connection with the City and with the teaching of technology. The arms consist of a shield and crest.
The shield has two sections – the field (the main background) and a chief (the broad band across the top of the shield). The field is
coloured blue. The chief is coloured silver. On the field is a diagonal line of five gold diamonds joined one to the other. This is similar to the first quarter of the Arms of the City of Birmingham. It is incorporated in the Arms of the College to show its connection to the City. On the chief is depicted an open book bound in red placed between two black hammers. This shows the connection of the University with technology. The book represents learning. The hammers represent engineering and allied trades.
The crest is designed to stress the pursuit of knowledge. It consists of a red torch held erect by a forearm between two branches of gold laurel. Originally it would have been worn on the helmet of a fully armed person. The crest is always placed on the top of the helm. The method of joining the crest to the helm was usually concealed by decoration. In the University's arms this is done by the use of a wreath and a crown. The wreath is silver, red, and black. These colours being taken from the shield. On top is a mural crown (resembling a wall). This is reserved in modern grants for persons and organisations connected with public corporations. The cloth mantling hangs down from the top of the helm. This represents the cloak which was originally worn to protect the armour. It is coloured blue and gold. These being the two principal colours of the shield.
In 2016, Her Majesty's College of Arms granted the favour of supporters to Aston University's arms. This marked the 50th anniversary of the University. Professor Julia King, the Baroness Brown of Cambridge, the Vice-Chancellor, had made the request.
The Letters Patent was formally presented to Aston University by the York Herald, Michael Peter Desmond O'Donoghue Esq.. This was made in a service at St Phillips Cathedral, Birmingham, on 29th September 2016.
The arms are supported by a Canada goose and a red squirrel. The Canada goose is a symbol. It represents the family of geese living on the University campus. The squirrel is the crest of the arms of Aston Manor. This is a rebus. (The picture is a pun on the persons name. The owners of Aston Manor were the Holte family and a squirrel's nest is called a holt). This explains the ancient connection between the squirrel and Aston. The animal also appears on the University mace. It also appears on the Chancellor's chain of office. This chain was originally the property of the Mayor of Aston Manor.
The gorse around the animals' necks is a reference to Gosta Green. It was known as "Gostie" Green during the 18th century. This combined the name of the landowner (William de Gorsty) with the local plant called 'gorse'
