Gnome

Although many say performing genetic modification on human embryos is wrong others disagree. A more common way used to genetically modify organisms is the CRISPR Cas9 system. This system is what targets, and changes a specific gene in the gnome. Cas9 is an “enzyme” used to remove and disconnect the strands of DNA that are being replaced. Another important part of this system is the RNA, that is used as a guide to effectively carry out the process a accurately as possible. (yourgenome). This…

about to board the train, they spotted a lawn gnome that looked to them like an “Artificial Nigger”; “They stood gazing at the Artificial Negro as if they were faced with some great mystery some monument to another’s victory that brought them together in their common defeat. They could both feel it dissolving their differences like an action of mercy” (269). After this happened Nelson decided to forgive Mr. Head once they both had spotted the lawn gnome. This shows racism because the two…

The sun, the sand and surf. Not a concern Lochie had to worry about since the school holidays started. Lochie was suddenly woken up by the stench of urine. “PHILLIP!”. Lochie screamed. Phillip woke up startled. “Oh no, not again”. Phillip said with a whiny tone to his voice. “Get changed please,” Lochie said with a tired voice. Phillip got up with a frown, slowly got some clothes and went into the bathroom with pee dripping down his wet PJ’s onto the polished wooden floor. Lochie sighed and…

he prompt describes the most critical aspect of community: “part.” Communities develop in hierarchies, with those who hold power at the top, and those who follow the voice of the leader. However, to exist within a community, one must understand that the necessity of the community comes before individual drives. Community, inherently, carries the connotation of partnership, communication, comradery, altruism, and trust. I have stayed a part of my minority community through small bodegas that…

Currently, in the year 2016, the media covers news reports that can have a controversial and negative flip to it. From transgenders being able to use the bathroom they identify with to the hatred coming out of Donald Trump’s mouth. People helping others is rarely included in the media. The movies Amelie and Pay It Forward, along with the music video “Where is the Love?” portray the importance of helping others.

October is the perfect time of year to indulge in a few Halloween frights, and for those movie lovers with children, Paranormal Activity and Crimson Peak just won't do. So Goosebumps will have to fill that gap. Twenty-somethings might feel the temptation to revisit R.L. Stine's wares since they grew up with it, but this is strictly kids' fare. With hundreds of Goosebumps novels to choose from, Sony could easily release at least one movie a year until 2020. Instead, director Rob Letterman…

building. One of the buildings that stood out was from an artist named Andrew Leicester who created the G-Nome on the Molecular Biology Building in 1992 and many other artifacts as part of the G-Nome Project. The G-Nome comes from two different words: Gnome (a dwarf-like creature that usually guards precious treasure) and genome (a scientific term for a complete set of chromosomes). There are four G-Nomes, each twelve feet terra-cotta structures on each corner of the Molecular Biology Building.…

that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not affect general intelligence. When Percy reads a sign in chapter 11 he sees “ATNYU MES GDERAN GOMEN MEPROLIM” which is really Aunty Em’s Garden Gnome Emporium. Although it said Percy is hyperactive this comes into effect only when he feels a serge or strength when consuming or pouring water on himself. In the story every time he is in water he feels stronger or more…

Raiders had perished under the golem’s attack, the creature fueled by the natural store of magic that flowed underneath the prison. It was relentless and single minded as it fulfilled the purpose for its very creation, reforming each and every time a gnome or a strongarm busted it apart. The only way to keep it down was to kill the magician that had summoned it. As it was with every time Cato came face to face with magic, he found himself thinking about Remi. She had summoned a golem once.…
