November 11, 1993 –a date typically dissociated with the remembrance of America’s involvement in Vietnam. On this day, the female Vietnam Veteran memorial was dedicated in honor of unspoken heroes, ones whose experiences are unparalleled to the soldiers who partook in the physical fight and incomprehensible to the public’s mind. These brave women, some married, engaged, or mothers, held the burden of a war with undefined intentions both physically and mentally, during combat and upon returning home. Although they played a role in a new kind of warfare, felt the personal sting of the anti-war movement, and suffered from PTSD much like their male counterparts, there was little research done on the nurses and nearly no recognition granted for nearly twenty years.…
The Natural State One minute you hear a ding, the next second you hear a tweet, and the next a ring. Heads are constantly turning to see where the noise is coming from. Carr explains, “We want to be interrupted, because each interruption brings us a valuable information” (Carr 133). Technologies have had a huge responsibility of the brains “natural state of distractedness.” In The Shallows by Nicolas Carr, he explains “what the Internet is doing to our brains.”…

I was by the Jersey Shore carefully following directions to where Poseidon was to meet me. He said that it was a “sacred sacrificial ground for prisoners of war.” It seemed to be a normal section of restaurants by the shore but I had hope.…
The Crow in the Woods The Crow in the Woods by John Updike is unlike any other story I have read before. The author does an odd but wonderful job in describing in detail the thoughts and surroundings of an average married man. This story meets course goal number seven as it enhances the students’ understanding of the value of holistic thinking in making informed judgments and in applying values as they become increasingly conscious of what is at stake if we fail to understand the relationship between human culture and the environment.…

Strangely, in spite of the power and size contrasts amongst average size and full-estimate trucks, towing limits aren't as various as you may think. V6-fueled Chevrolet Colorado models can tow as much as 7,000 pounds when legitimately designed, an expansion of more than 1,500 pounds over base-level V6-controlled Silverado models. And keeping in mind that some Silverado 1500 models can tow well more than 11,000 pounds, we need to ponder: How regularly do you plan to do that much towing? On the off chance that the answer is much of the time, you most likely won't need a Colorado. On the off chance that you never tow anything heavier than 7,000 pounds, you may not require a full-measure pickup.…
Snow globes are made of clear glass, a transparent sphere with a scenic view and a plastic toy inside the globe. The sphere likewise encases the water in the globe; the water fills in as the medium through, where the snow falls. The globe must be shaken to actuate the snow so the white particles can fall gradually to reach the base. When the snowflakes/object falls, it experiences two external forces which are; the gravitational force and the aerodynamic (air resistance) drag of the object, which gradually brings the object down. Furthermore, the drag force affects the object because of the shape and the viscosity of the fluid.…

As one of the most iconic American poets, Robert Frost’s work has stood the test of time. Though born in California, Frost moved to New England at age eleven and came to identify himself as a New Englander. That self-identification would become a staple of his later works as he would invest “in the New England terrain” and make use of the “simplicity of his images” (Norton Anthology, p. 727) accompanied by uncomplicated writing to give his poems a more natural feel. Frost’s poems were generalized by certain types: nature lyrics, which described a scene or event, dramatic narratives or generalizations, and humorous or sardonic works. His widely anthologized poem “Fire and Ice” falls between the categories of nature lyrics while also being somewhat…
