Clocks

I wake up to the sound of my alarm on my phone ringing. I consider myself a morning person, as getting up is always pretty easy. I suppose this is because I know if I don't get up and get to my classes, I'll fail. I didn't used to be a morning person until I almost failed eighth grade, so it made sense. Even though it was Monday, I was still up on time. I know most people have trouble getting up on Mondays in particular, but not me. I had picked my outfit the night before, so showering and…

already, narrows the things that the reader can manipulate the word “it” by saying that “it” has to be “lifting up” and also has to be “large as a giant”. Consequently, although the option of interpreting “it” with an alarm clock is no longer a valid option since an alarm clock doesn’t follow the rule of being large or lifting up, the other options of interpreting “it” are still valid. For example, considering that the nuclear bomb was the reason for the noise that sounded like a pressure…

of the clock behaviour will be presented through the combination of measurements provided by NMR spectroscopy alongside those obtained using more orthodox techniques such as UV spectrometry and pH measurements. The experiment in Dr. Evans paper will replicated using the same measurements and techniques. This project is to serve as a proof of principle, showing that literature value can be replicated using a weaker magnet. The pH experiment will be used to illustrate the kinetic of the clock…

I woke to the sound of my alarm clock going off, “Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.” It was 7:00 in the morning; the usual time I get up to go to school, but like usual I slam on the snooze button and sleep for another five minutes. After hitting the snooze button three times I finally got up. Today is the day, our first doubleheader of the season is against Rockford. The coach is starting me at left field and it is my first game ever starting in high school game. I’m a Sophomore at Atwood High School; my…

the store was probably the grandfather clock. No one couldn’t tell where he came from or who made him, nor could even the store owner identify where he was from. He was a tall but an old grandfather clock, he can look over everyone in the antique store, but the other furniture would be making fun of him because he was different from everyone else. Talking about how no one would ever want a clock that big in their house and how awful he looks. Grandfather clock knew he was awful looking; pieces…

In the article “Circadian Clock, Cancer, and Chemotherapy,” the authors discuss the relationship between the circadian clock, cell cycle, DNA repair, and apoptosis. The authors then relate these relationships to cancer and treatment of cancer. The article backs their claims with numerous studies performed on both animal and human subjects. It also describes the importance of circadian rhythm in timing of drug delivery for cancer patients. This treatment method has been given the name…

I WOKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED THIS MORNING. I stretched my hand out in search of Soraya’s warm touch, but found chilling sheets. I turn my head to find an empty bed. I look over at the clock on my bedside table--three thirty a.m.. Where was she? She didn’t have to get ready for school until five. I swung my feet over the side of the bed and prepared myself for the stinging feeling of the cold hardwood floor against my bare feet. I then remembered the soft slippers Sohrab got me for my…

The alarm clock wakes me up early in the morning. I want to sleep more. But I have to leave my bed. Then I go to the bathroom. I brush my teeth. I take a bath, get out the shower dry myself up, and wrap my towel around my body. I go back into my bedroom and sit in my chair, where my dresser is to do my hair. I always like to to do big sexy curls for work, and make sure my hair looks very big, and puffy. So I always use my straighter to curl my hair, it always last longer if I use my straighter.…

The role of the circadian clock in Imiquimod-induced skin inflammation Introduction The circadian rhythm is a biological system that allows organisms to synchronize their activities to the coming and going of light in their external environment. All living organisms contain this biological clock that helps coordinate physiological activities, such as eating, sleeping, and reproducing, to promote survival. In mammals, the principal regulator of the circadian clock is a group of nerve cells known…

jealousy and greed, darted between the clock and the vacant seat across his table. He was sure that the clock enjoyed how agonisingly slow this wait was. It ticked by at a sluggish pace, in a weird mechanic sort of laughter that no one but Name could understand. Everyone else said that it was impossible for clocks to feel emotion, let alone laugh. But Name knew better. He knew clocks were demonic creations that revelled in the torture of poor beings like him. Clocks were always determined to…
