Crossover

was the first time I ever touched a basketball, I started to deliberate, “How could playing this be so fun and interesting? Then my brother came out and started to teach me the basics about basketball. How to dribble the ball, how to do a simple crossover, how shoot a lay-up, even how to shoot a jump shot. So after about an hour just repeating the same drills over and over I started to actually like doing this. We would be playing one on one after he trained me from the beginning. He would…

A tropical wave developed into Tropical Storm Nicole about 530 mi (850 km) northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, early on October 4, [29] based on an ASCAT pass revealing a well-defined surface circulation and winds of up to 50 mph (85 km/h).

From the moment someone sets foot into the school realm, they are always asked “ What are you going to be when you grow up?”. This question stirs a variety of answers due to the personal differences between people in what they find of interests or what they are told they will become by big influences in their lives, such as their parents. As someone who has been unsure of what they want to become, my answer has been changing constantly. When I was younger I had my mind set to become a…

Microbiology in itself is such a vital field which contributes and continuously defines the world in which we live in. Charles Darwin once stated “Each living creature must be looked at as a microcosm--a little universe, formed of a host of self-propagating organisms, inconceivably minute and as numerous as the stars in heaven” (Goodreads, 2015). I really liked this quote because I think it explains the vastness that microbiology possesses. We tend to look at the world seeing one individual…

2.10.1 Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) Fuzzy set theory explain this technique to enhance an image of handwritten scripts and for an edge detection of wrist X-ray images. In the case of the contrast enhancement process of an image, the Fuzzy set also seen as a collection of membership functions, where each represents how much degree of corresponding grayscale pixels is possible to be “bright”.

The Social Construction of Gender,” Judith Lorber’s article written in the mid 90s, describes western societies as having two genders: men and women. Lorber explains that, while they not wholly separate genders, transvestities and transexuals are “crossover genders” (2007: 43) floating in between society’s two genders. Society’s framework for gender affects everything a person does from the moment that person is born, without them even knowing it. The clothes a person wears, the friends a person…

Dracula as an iconic horror novel The strongest feeling of humans is fear. It exists as one of the primal instincts and as one of the most sophisticated, unknown phenomena. During all human history, fear follows people in the superstitions, dread before the dark, occult rituals. All these elements become an inseparable part of human culture. The so-called gothic literature founded the horror genre’s principles which should be followed in order to create a good horror novel. One of the brightest…

a noun meaning “magic spell” was recorded in 1909. In the Pennsylvania Dutch community, hex signs are commonly seen painted on barns and homes as both decoration and as a symbol for protection. However, this is debated and there seems to be some crossover in the Powwow traditioins and the Pennsylvania Dutch. In the witchcraft community, a hex is a spell or ritual typically designed to cause harm to someone, although…

Studies show that SSRIs treats depression and targets the three main PTSD clusters such as avoidance, re-experiencing, and hyperarousal. SSRIs are tolerable and have few side effects. Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors block the reuptake of the neurotransmitters. SNRIs such as duloxetine, venlafaxine, and desvenlafaxine act by preventing the reuptake of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine (Greenberg, 2012). High concentrations of extracellular serotonin and…
