temperature should stay at a certain set point. The set point for the inner body temperature would be about 37.4 degrees Celsius but rise or fall between 0.5 or so degrees C. If the body temperature falls below a certain point one will die from hypothermia and if the body temperature rise above a certain point you will die from hyperthermia. The human body must keep an internal dynamic equilibrium rather than keeping stability. The inner organs have to stay a certain temperature at all times or…

For both the Lusitania disaster and 9/11 attacks, the historic phase came immediately. In the Lusitania disaster, help took several hours and unfortunately by then many had succumbed to hypothermia or drowning. Local fishermen helped recover bodies, find the unaccounted for and bodies were laid to rest in Queenstown following the disaster, with a memorial to commemorate the victims. Immediately after reports of the 9/11 attacks first responders raced to save as many people as possible from the…

Cows, for the most part, have been perceived as innocent creatures throughout the centuries. In various judicial systems, humans, too, are thought to be innocent until proven guilty. As history has shown on many occasions during times of war, innocent people are killed needlessly.

Anjaana Anjaani is a unique movie that “begins on an antagonistic note and then shifts into a whole new terrain of quirky need,” (Times of India) displaying an…

My sister and I fought about something stupid, exactly how we always did, but somehow this argument turned into something more, and we ended up not talking for the rest of the week. She hated me, I knew, and growing up I was proud of the sibling rivalry we had, but these days, I was tired of it. The arguing, the yelling, even the eyerolls I gave her sometimes; it was just something I didn’t want anymore. I’m not even sure how the drift between us happened, but there was a continent the size of…

Owen’s poem is a visual representation of life in the trenches of WW1, contrasting from existing government propaganda glamorising the adventures of war and emphasizing the futility of the situation by depicting the fate of soldiers suffering from hypothermia.
