Elie’s father was bludgeoned, and taken in the night during his sleep. “I remained…etching his bloody, broken face into my mind.” (Wiesel 112) Not only did living conditions affect the Jews, but so did the soldiers themselves, who were naturally churlish toward the prisoners. Lucille remembered her father being taken away, and hearing of…

Silence, after a hard day of school, all I wanted was to relax to the ballads of 50 cent, and I got silence. The bass must have shifted an exposed wire and shorted the amplifier, I fixed this a few times before that it almost became routine, but it was not a shorted wire. Troubleshoot, no solution, what could it be? My set up was almost perfect, lacking solely in achievable decibels. Second hand children science encyclopedias along with Questions and Answers books got me this far and for a…

1.6 TRIBOLOGY The greek word tribo means rubbing (William 1994). It is the science of intermingling of the surfaces which are in sliding and/or rolling motion. In 1996, Tribology was first reported by Jost, England. It has 3 portions. These are A) friction B) Lubrication and C) wear.

photographs, and sculptures of many artists both renowned and local. Examples of such would be Pablo Picasso, Francisco De Goya, Hung Liu, and many more. Although the first to catch my eye was that of Liu’s work Working Woman: Millstone 1999, an etching with soft colors, varnish, as well as paint.

From his experience in the war, watching many soldiers be physically destroyed, and others, including himself, be mentally broken down into tiny,…

The most common conducting materials that can be used for the patch is gold or copper. The feed lines and the radiating patch are usually embedded on the dielectric substrate by using photo etching process. Due to fringing fields induced between the patch edges by various methods microstrip patch antenna radiate primarily. So due to fringing fields the dimensions of the patch electrically seemed a bit larger than its actual physical dimensions…

Michelangelo’s David is a Marble Statue of the Biblical figure, David, in the nude, posed as if he were contemplating something. It was sculpted in 1501-1504 and is about 4.08 meters tall and is located in the Gallery of the Academy in Florence, Italy.

This was sculpted in…

with him multiple small, black notebooks stacked on top of each other. He also has his black dice box with sets of white, frosted glass dice with white numbering. And to his left is Joseph who has his dice box as well as a metal lunch box with an etching of Return of the Jedi on it. Inside the lunchbox are his pencils and sets of dice—his most used being black with neon green numbers. Finally, there’s me. I sit opposite of Massey and bring along an iPad with a brown, faux leather, tome-like case…
