illegal. They should be removed from all professional sports with major punishments if rules are violated” (Wivel). So why do athletes use steroids? Many athletes use steroids, or PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs), to boost their performance on the field, but do they not worry about the repercussions later in life? Steroids cause great distress to your body, and may even cause premature death. They increase your chances of having a heart attack and decrease the functionality of many major…

“Boom,” she dove into the motionless water. Only one solitary thought remained in her mind. He is watching…. She did not dare to look back, she knew that whatever happened it was in his hands. - What she didn't know, is that in the next 10 seconds she would destroy the Junior World record by a margin of 3.41 seconds to become the youngest American to qualify for an Olympic Game. Most importantly her father would be watching. It all began years ago when her father developed dementia. Her one and…

Have you ever thought what if I had tried harder then I would have succeeded? Most likely you have and that is known as counterfactual thinking. Counterfactual thinking is the theory of what could have been. We tend to correlate our failures with counterfactual thinking. For example, if we had studied harder on that test and not gone out that night we might have gotten an A on the test not a B. We can also look at counterfactual thinking in a positive way and how that helps us in our lives. In…

Chemistry Olympiads: (Awards). (Done) While in Cuba, back in high school, I had participated three times in the National Chemistry Olympiad. I did so after having been selected each year from the gold medal winners of my province (similar to a State in the US). In the 10th grade, I won a silver medal in the National Chemistry Olympiad, in the 11th a gold and in the 12th a bronze. As a result of winning gold in 11th grade, I received the opportunity to be part of the Cuban pre-selection team on…

The movie Forrest Gump has many actors, the main characters within the movie are Tom Hanks who plays Forrest Gump, Sally Field who is mama Gump, Gary Sinise who is Lieutenant Dan Taylor and also Robin Right who plays Jenny Curran. Forrest Gump is a man with an IQ of 75, who manages between the 1950’s- 1980’s to become involved in major events in America. In this movie you will notice that Forrest takes things for exactly what they are and never complains because he is fine with the life that he…

The main actors in the movie are Tom Hanks portraying Forrest Gump, Robin Wright portraying Jenny Curran, and Sally Field as Ms. Gump. The actors did a good job of acting like southerners in the movie, and they didn’t play out of character; However, there are a few goofs in the movie. As Forrest in the scene where he takes apart his gun and reassembles it, Hanks forgets to use his accent for a few seconds. There are also more mistakes in the movie that no one has seemed to notice. If someone was…

This study demonstrates that stressed crayfish express context-independent anxiety-like behavior that can be promoted by 5HT (electric fields) and abolished by an anxiolytic called benzodiazepine. The study was designed by exposing crayfish to an electric field for thirty minutes and then placing them into an aquatic dark/light shaped maze that was divided into two shaded arms and two lightened arms along with a middle starting zone. They had placed…

Magnetic resonance imaging, also known as an MRI scan, is a type of scan that uses magnetic fields and radio wave energy to create images of the organs and tissues, such as the brain. It is a scan that is used to detect things such as tumors, infections and injuries. It is often used after an x-ray or CT scan is done to gather more information. This paper will discuss MRI in depth such as how an MRI works, its use in society, the differences between MRI and other scans and the future for MRI.…

In this memoir of First They Killed My Father by Loung Ung, the narrator faces many difficulties throughout her childhood and and because this is written by Loung as an adult it is very interesting to see her perception of herself at the age of five. This memoir talks about the tragedies that took place during the Khmer Rouge that was led by Pol Pot. Khmer Rouge tore families apart, killed innocent children and left many to die due to famine. Between 1975 and 1978, there was an estimated number…

Field strength or intensity is the force which maintains the magnetic flux and produces a particular value of the flux density B at that point in a magnetic field. Therefore the flux density is the cause while the flux density (B) is the effect. The flux density can be assumed proportionally to the field intensity in a magnetic field which comes in three parts. First part is: Where U stands for the permeability of force (the measure of the degree to which the magnetic line of force can…
