Francis Bond Head

good things must come to an end…or so they say. Of course, James Bond apparently never got that memo – you know, because he seems to get younger and more ambitious with each passing decade. With that said, it’s impossible not to admire the fan base and longevity that this character has built for itself, stemming back to the 1950s. At the same time, it’s also terribly difficult not to admire the stylistic swagger that the current Bond, Daniel Craig, has brought to the ever-growing franchise.…

While azulene and naphthalene have the same formula of C10H8, their differing arrangement of carbon atoms in rings causes disparities in their molecular orbitals. As shown in the energy difference calculations below Table 1, naphthalene has an energy difference of -10.184 between its HOMO and LUMO orbitals while azulene has one of +6.904. The low energy difference of naphthalene FMOs would suggest that its HOMO and LUMO orbitals have relatively similar distributions of electron density among odd…

The use of steroids, also known as performance enhancing drugs (PEDs), in baseball has been illegal in Major League Baseball since 1991, even though they did not start league wide testing until 2003. And even though they are outlawed, many still use steroids and get away with it. This gives them an unfair advantage and if not used properly can ruin not only their careers, but their lives. I believe that steroids should become legal in the MLB to level the playing field. Many people cheat and get…

Water is one of the most important complex and necessary molecules on earth. It is required for any organism 's survival and is vital for life processes. Its molecular structure enables it to have a chief advantage over other molecules. Its polarity and attraction to other types of matter enable water to be a perfect solvent used with detergent and soap. The range of water is expensive, available on earth as three different types. Despite the abundance of these molecules, many countries continue…

(neutral), and outside are the electrons (negatively charged) that orbit the atom in an electron cloud. When two or more atoms of an element or elements bond together, they form a compound. Depending on the type of elements, there are different kinds of bonds that could form. Ionic bonds form between the atoms of at least one non-metal and a metal. Covalent bonds form when non-metal elements come together (Erster Lecture 1). A) The element Nitrogen is listed under group 15 in the periodic table…

“Mommy, how are babies made?” Every person has a different response when a little kid asks where babies come from. The stork is the most common story, and some parents even say they bought the kit at Walmart and assembled it. Some cultures believe the baby was found in a cabbage patch or that the stars are just babies looking down, waiting to find their place on earth. In various cases, the parents will simply explain how the baby started growing inside mommy and that you have to wait nine…

Introduction Affinity Chromatography, also referred to as biospecific chromatography, is a technique of partitioning rooted in biological affinity (Dean). This practice capitalizes on complex interactions such as bond formation between enzymes and substrate, or more broadly: macromolecules and ligands. Purification is at the center of the use of affinity chromatography. In general, samples may be run through a gel that contains a corresponding component that binds with the sample at certain…

Relationships are complicated. The film “Her”, directed by Spike Jonze, is a clear example of this. Throughout the film, Theodore Twombly is challenged by the decision of having a relationship with a digital lifeform. He struggles with his artificial companion, Samantha, wishing that she were real. Samantha faces many of her own challenges as well, one of them being that she is unable to have human interaction with Theodore. Although, technology helps Theodore to break out of his comfort zone,…

The law classifies among contracts of service and contracts for services. “A contract of service means there is an employer–employee relationship; a contract for services means there is a principal–independent contractor relationship” . A series of tests have been established to distinguish the working relationship of a person to understand if they are an employee or not. The Court of Appeal located terms of written contract between an employee and an independent contractor. In the ERA the test…

Performance Enhancing Drugs. One of the most popular topics in all of sports, particularly baseball. It’s been around the game for the past few decades, and possibly even before that. When you think of Performance Enhancing Drugs, or PED’s for short, you think of a drug that are considered illegal, narcotic, or even dangerous, depending on how much you use. This stuff is no joke. These drugs are also considered an abusive substance, meaning you can do more harm to other people, other than…
