Bla Bla Bla

My name is Sara Parker. I am glad to see you. How are you? How is your day?” she said, and then “Pleases introduce yourself” said she. I was ready to die and I think my face was the face of a dead person because I was too surprised to say anything, I did not understand and I have no idea what she is talking about, similar as rappers like “bla bla bla”. When she bent over me, I thought she was going to devour me. And I was…

Bola Tinubu: The Poor Cant Wait Any Longer By Sunday Njokede Former Lagos governor, Mr. Bola Tinubu had told protesters who gathered at his Ikoyi house to be patient that their miracle is on the way. If you flip the coin to the other side: Tinubu and his family are living large in Nigeria as the Italian Mafia. The Lagos politician has no moral ground to decide who should make sacrifices. Not when, he and his family are living fly like the Gambino crime family. What is hotter than this? The…

Poetry and thought are often interpreted as too lofty for the realm of politics, a realm dominated power (Berlin: 2004). Yet memory, as elaborated by poets should always be an exercise in education. The value of narrative, writing, and poetry is high. For ‘the very fact that so great of an enterprise as the Trojan War could have been forgotten without a poet to immortalize it several hundred years later offered only too good an example of what could happen to human greatness if it had nothing…

Excerpt from The Great Fire by Jim Murphy It was Sunday and an unusually warm evening for October eighth, so Daniel “Peg Leg” Sullivan left his stifling little house in the west side of Chicago and went to visit neighbors. One of his stops was at the shingled cottage of Patrick and Catherine O’Leary. The one-legged Sullivan remembered getting to the O’Learys’ house at around eight o’clock, but left after only a few minutes because the O’Leary family was already in bed. Both Patrick and Catherine…

Amygdala mainly consist of central nucleus (CeA), basolateral (BLA) and medial (MeA) nucleus which regulate HPA axis differentially. The CeA following stress gets activated and thus regulate the autonomic and emotional component of systemic stressors but not psychogenic stressor. However, CeA lesion impairs the bradycardic response to psychogenic stressors. The MeA and BLA gets activated following psychological stress and enhance the activity of HPA axis. Both MeA and BLA lesion decreases the…

teacher-student relationships and can, in turn, affect the motivation of students at Bronx Leadership Academy (BLA). The observed usage of slang, otherwise known as “Black English,” at BLA both inhibited and catalyzed the academic progression of students.

4th Hour Mr.Gardener just dismissed us from lunch. I stood up, walked through the doors, went up the stairs, went straight, then took a sharp left. And then I was there. Ms.VanZegeren’s. I walked into the class and sat down. After Ms.VanZegeren got here she gave her daily lecture. And then put us into our groups. I thought it was going to be an ordinary day.... BUT NO! I guess some one was a little or a lot cranky today. And this is how it all started. Ms.VanZegeren flipped the phone sign from…

The inactivation of vHPC lead to reduced fear expression and created disrupted extinction memory during extinction training. The study suggests that activity in vHPC during extinction training is required for subsequent expression of extinction memory. This could be through the potentiation of vHPC inputs to vmPFC (Sierra-Mercado et al., 2010). This study did not differentiate the role of the vHPC in the extinction of context versus tone fears. Furthermore, it was found that the basolateral…

I turn on the surround sound and off the lights then sit down, I start hearing the theme song play, fallowing with the words “STRANGER THINGS” slowly appearing on the screen. Halfway thru the show my dad says “BLA BLA BLA” so I reply quickly with “SHUT UP DAD AND LISTEN” then he proceeds to talk during the most juicy part. When the movie ended my dad told me to go to bed so I went ahead and made my favorite midnight snack, Cookies and Milk, then waddled to my room. As i enter my room I whistle…
