In This Moment

to support her; it was her father who had the most trouble accepting her, though he came around eventually. This story reminds me about the coming out activity that we did in class. Canale’s family’s reaction to her being gay was like the individuals with the white star; she had some support and some rejection, but she never lost contact with them entirely (Class Activity, April 19). At this point in her life, it seems that Canale has come out to herself and she has accepted that she is gay and…

Roger Williams said it best when he stated, “No one should be bound to worship, or to maintain a worship [taxes to an established church] against his own consent" (Karsten). This is why required prayer in public schools is such an argumentative topic in today’s society. In 1962, required prayer was taken out of schools across the United States (Pros and Cons of Prayer). However, individual prayer is still allowed and acceptable, somewhat. Teachers and faculty members may not participate in…

appears on many American symbols, from the Star Spangled Banner, to the Pledge of Allegiance, to our currency with the slogan “In God We Trust,” to our government’s tradition of using the Bible for swearing in public officials. Some may even believe that this country was built on a religious, Christian specifically, background. Religion is part of the foundation of America making prayer in public schools the controversial issue it is today. Religion has always been in our school curriculum…

In Stone v. Graham, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that Kentucky could not require the Ten Commandments to be posted in classrooms. (The Battle for School Prayer pg. 83). This started another big argument. To keep this from happening, a decision was made, and any religious text or prayer was banned from schools. This made everything calm down a little bit, however, there are still some students out there that are still trying to talk about their beliefs to other students without being…

In this equation, x and y denotes the number of moles of RE and Mn atoms per formula unit of the structure, respectively. The RE and Mn represent the theoretical magnetic moment of trivalent free RE3+ ions and divalent Mn2+ ions respectively. The experimental values of total magnetic moments were found to be smaller than the calculated values (Table xyz). The crystal field effects can lead to lower value of magnetic moments for RE3+ ions in these compositions as compared to free RE3+ ions,…

Autres Temps by Edith Wharton demonstrates how society struggles to break free from old, familiar traditions even when it strives for social changes. For example, past social habits especially have a significant and pivotal influence on the way the people of the society depicted in the text carry themselves. Wharton’s employment of evasive language, coupled with non-verbal communication, reflects the society’s perpetuation of outdated customs and its inability to leave the past behind. Wharton,…

feelings, the length of time the client has for counseling, and more. Person-centered counseling was originally created by Carl Rogers in 1942. This type of counseling has since then evolved but research still proves this method of psychotherapy to be effective for certain types of people. Tommy Callahan from the movie Tommy Boy, which debuted in 1995, is…

For every atomic nucleus, its total angular momentum is represented by the symbol I and called its nuclear spin. This spin is then determined by its quantum number, which is represented by the symbol S. Each nuclear spin is associated with a magnetic moment. When this moment is placed in an external magnetic field, these spin states differ in magnetic potential energy. If placed in a static magnetic field with a small amount of spin polarisation however, certain radio frequency signals can allow…

The origin of these magnetoresistance effects is unclear, as NdMo16O44 contains magnetic Nd ions. The paramagnetism associated with Nd-Nd interactions confounds the measurement of the magnetization associated with Mo8-Mo8 interactions―the focus of this paper―resulting in the predominantly paramagnetic magnetic susceptibility behavior for NdMo16O44 shown in Fig. 2b. In contrast, LaMo16O44, demonstrates a more interesting magnetic susceptibility versus temperature profile that demands further…

Introduction As a figure skater with an enthusiasm for figure skating for many years, my choice of investigation for my internal assessment came to me quite easily. I have been a figure skater for eleven years and during this period I have been able to deepen my knowledge of the relationship between body coordinates and movements/positions of figure skating. I will be investigating the relationship between the body’s initial and interim positions and the outcome of a figure skater’s trajectory…
