Derek Revisky History 102 Eric Chase A Brief History of Homeopathy in America As a medic in the army I began my career knowing absolutely nothing about medicine. At the beginning of my training I was trained to respond to catastrophic injuries and situations. During my first deployment, my soldiers began (for reasons I know understand as more complicated) not responding to Ibuprofen and water as a cure for aches and pains. Coming back from that deployment I understood that I was limited by…

Vanessa Parkey Coach Matt Health 4 May 2015 Opium Introduction Twenty-eight-year-old, Thomas De Quincey, took 50 to 150 grains of opium daily for relief. He had used opium since he was eighteen. A classmate recommended laudanum (a form of opium) for pain relief from a toothache to De Quincey in the autumn of 1804.

The green revolution occurred between the 1930’s and the late 1960’s. Monsanto was at the top of the list of “corporate totalitarians” that benefited from the depletion and deterioration of our natural resources. The term refers to the increase of agricultural production worldwide, particularly in developing countries.

Increased ocean acidification isn’t the only thing affecting the ocean, but it is very problematic because it erodes aragonite which is a mineral of calcium carbonate. In other words it kills corals and causes the hard exoskeleton to erode. Action needs to be taken to ensure the survival of corals and the creatures that rely on coral reefs to survive. Coral reefs are sources of food for millions of people, but also are sources of medicines. As coral reefs disappear so do the organisms that are…

that raised his status was his time spent in the highly turbulent court of Sforza. Moreover than just his time in court he was a scientist at a time when others were too preoccupied with the mundane. The fields that Leonardo studded could range from botany, mathematics, engineering but first and foremost it was Anatomy. Dominicazak writes "he was an almost obsessive observer of the human figure". Andy Warhol had major influence on the art world but that is where he falls short compared to…

ART Comparative Essay: Aristotle wrote, “The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” Behind every physical piece of artwork comes a deeper significance. Whether it may be an unearthed, individual perspective or a political discussion, art has no boundaries in which expression is limited. Artists often manipulate media and technology to express their own relationships with their environments as a result of their individual context, where in…

“I will seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me” (Ludwig van Beethoven). The character Oedipus in Oedipus Rex can be compared in a multitude of ways, but with similarities comes differences. Oedipus’s disastrous discovery of the truth can be compared to Elton John’s song “I Know the Truth.” His problem solving and intelligence can easily be correlated to the movie The Martian, and the historical figure Joseph II of Austria has very similar ways of ruling as Oedipus…
