deeply rooted history within Africa, yet they also have differences that derived from their islands. While the book describes Santería differently from Vodou, the film confirms the difference. Within the film, rituals such as: shaving the head clockwise, the usage of beads and coconut shells, intensified preparations for initiation ceremonies and the lack of parties or dinners for the gods were shown. While The Altar of My Soul describes all these practices it does so through the eyes of Marta…
Background and overview: Tornados are one of the most damaging atmospheric hazards as they reach incredible wind speeds and cause great damage that is beyond repair. In the USA, on average, 60 people die each year from tornados. This is usually from falling or flying debris. 1.1 DESCRIPTION Tornados can be casually described as a cylinder spinning with a Smokey colour to it from the ground damage or other that is trapped inside the cylinder. Tornados are a column of air that maintains contact…
Arctic Oscillation Weather Anomaly The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is a two-phase climate pattern circulating in the Artic region and the mid-latitude regions of Earth. This oscillation pattern is the second largest on Earth, with the El Niño/La Niña cycle being the largest. While these weather patterns are a normal part of the Earth’s climate system, scientists continually monitor fluctuations in the AO to determine its natural state versus the man-made impact through global warming. The…
Ocean Pollution: North Pacific Gyre filled with Plastic In 1997 a well-known chemist, scientific researcher and sea captain named Charles Moore, set sail from Hawaii back to his homeland, California after competing in a yacht race. Along the way, Captain Charles Moore had extra fuel to spare and decided to take a short cut through the low pressured winds of the north pacific gyre. As he and his crew reached the calm within the gyre, they were completely caught off guard as they noticed bits and…
There are distinct images that come to mind when the term biennial is used — sheer number of artworks displayed, intellectual discourse, avant-garde, grand openings and a crowd of visitors that temporarily takes over sites and public spaces that host these biennials. These iconic events which recur at every predetermined number of years render a feeling of happening — a redefinition of the contemporary art scene. But do these images conjured correspond to the reality of biennial events? What…
The Grandmother of Software Who Never Looked Back Clocks dot the workplaces of people spanning the globe, and the vast majority of those clocks move perpetually clockwise. However, Grace Hopper, a naval computer engineer, owned a clock that was the exception. Her clock moved counterclockwise (Cushman B6) and was an expression of her gravitation towards creative change instead of always solving problems in the same way. Throughout her career, her personal conviction shone through as she shook up…
your needs. The main wheel is slightly harder, even if it does not have distinct clicks and therefore can be less pleasant to use. At the height of the thumb is the second wheel, more defined in the movements and in the sliding, which can be set clockwise and anticlockwise, obtaining in two additional keys that are easy to use and reach.…
The liver is located under the diaphragm in the upper right side of your abdominal cavity. It has many important jobs including digestive processes. It also carries out many metabolic and regulatory functions in the body and is also responsible for producing bile to breakdown fats in the food we eat. The gallbladder is similar to a small storage sac, it helps the liver to store bile. The liver and gallbladder connect by the common bile duct. Many disease states can affect these two closely…
…how the legs radiate from all sides of the gray dots, how the monads unfold around themselves these ciliated fringes of hair (either by whipping like flagella, or undulating in that underwater way of swaying seaweed, or … rotating back and forth, clockwise the counterclockwise, like the buffers at a carwash. (Sims 111) In the quote above, a simile is used to reinforce the uneasiness that characterizes the gecko’s activities as it moves about on the window. Thus, the simile also contributes to…
