As mentioned earlier, the vertebral column consists of five regions. These regions are cervical (neck), thoracic (upper and mid back), lumbar (lower back), sacral and coccyx. Some of the structures that would be affected by the incident are the intervertebral discs, due to the compression that was placed on the head. If the vertebral discs structure is severely compressed, the inner material, known as the nucleus pulposus, that is inside the discs could leak out and cause herniation. Herniation…

selective for streptococci and enterococci and inhibited the growth of Gram-positive staphylococci (Atlas & Snyder, 2015). The test differentiated between Streptococcus bovis group and Enterococcus from other streptococci based on the bacteria’s ability to hydrolyze esculin in the presence of bile. When esculin is hydrolyzed the byproduct reacts with ferric citrate and forms a dark precipitate on the medium (Atlas & Snyder, 2015). A Bile Esculin-positive result is if the media darkens around the…

oil into the ocean (Atlas, 2011). The amount of crude oil that was spilled into the ocean affected the ecosystem and the animals that live within that system. Protecting the shorelines from the heavy crude oil from the leaking vessel was a major responsibility of the clean-up. The clean-up process was a very difficult one during this time due to the cold weather and the heaviness of the crude oil, dispersants were not used due to the State of Alaska concerns in the use (Atlas, 2011). The…

Both books, “Create Dangerously” by Edwidge Danticat and “The Atlas of Global Inequalities” by Ben Crow and Suresh K. Lodha, are very different books, but also both very big eye openers. Both of these interesting books despite their differences could complement each other to get similar information across in different ways. “Create Dangerously” by Danticat was obviously far more personal. For me its way more interesting and impactful when I hear/read real stories of people. So reading these…

“The use of a range of production techniques can help a director to develop characters.” The vision Brad McGann had for, “In My Father’s Den”, was to create an intimate, slow burning film that was “a character driven plot” about a damaged soul, which the audience learns as being war photographer, Paul Prior. Since the film is character driven it is crucial that the characters (such as Paul and Celia) are well developed throughout the film. While production techniques such as lighting, setting…

Marvel Entertainment is now a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, but it was not always this way. Marvel Entertainment got its start a long time ago, back in 1939, when it was founded by Martin Goodman, a New York pulp magazines publisher. However, back then, the company was not known as Marvel Entertainment, or even Marvel Comics, but rather as, Timely Publications (TIMELINE). In 1939, Goodman was convinced by a sales manager at comic book company by the name of Funnies Inc., that comic…

Did you know that Mali in the middle ages was one of the wealthiest countries at the time? Medieval Mali was a kingdom in Africa, and it rose to prominence under Mansa Musa in the early 1300s. Mali influenced other parts of the world, and the world influenced Mali, because of gifts, trade, and scholarly exchange. One reason Mali had influence on the world, as well as the world influencing Mali, was through gifts. At one point, during Mansa Musa’s reign, around 1360 to 1361, he sent a giraffe,…

or ‘White’ descent as “the number of Mexican and Chinese residents has grown” (1). Conversely, the road to a life in Bridgeport for Blacks is still quite narrow as they only make up about 2.4 percent of the population today (Bridgeport, Statistical Atlas, 1). Considering the trend of “deindustrialization in the 1970s, the Reagan administration's attacks on social welfare programs in the early 1980s, and decades of neglect from the Chicago political machine,” this community continues to be mainly…

Education is a major key component in order to contribute in society. As a student, I have learned that there’s a huge difference between Community Colleges and Universities. I chose to attend a community college because I knew that a university would be far more complex. In addition, every college student starting in their college education should take into consideration college will be a whole different experience. When I started college I enrolled in a community college; however, once I…
