Inner Loop

Seventh grade, my second year now at what I thought to be the worst school in the world. On back to school night I met a man who would change my perspective on life completely, that man being Brandon Lilly. Henry Adams once said “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” At a mere five-foot four he appeared to be a kid minus the burly lumberjack beard that he possessed. I remember being skeptical at first because I had never had a male teacher before. All of my…

“The Revolt of ‘Mother’” by Mary Wilkins Freeman, gives readers a view into the life of a woman who is struggling with how to remain true to herself, yet also be correct and proper in a time when women were considered property. The irony of Sarah Penn’s actions; her submissiveness and servitude towards her husband and children are not signs of weakness, they show her strength. In spite of the restrictions placed on her because of her gender, she shows the power of a woman by knowing when to…

Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration is a 3 step process that makes energy. Every organism on earth needs cellular respiration to survive because without energy an organism cannot survive. The chemical formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+6O2 > 6CO2+6H2O+38 ATP. So how do runners perform cellular respiration in a race? First the runner must breath in and air goes through the mouth and through the air way to get to the lungs. The lungs then take oxygen from the air and diffuse it…

of NASA’s history. On January 27, 1967, the three astronauts were performing a preflight test of their Apollo capsule when their capsule caught fire. In the hours before the fire, the astronauts encountered problems with a sour smell from the oxygen loop of Grissom’s spacesuit, unexplained high oxygen flows which triggered alarms, and worsening faulty communications between the launch pad and the control roomApollo 1. All of these items were identified and discussed before the test continued.…

The Gun Control Act of 1968 put a restriction on machine guns, limiting mail order deliveries, as well as placing national restrictions upon who could purchase a firm arm. The law was passed as a reaction to the violent inner city riots of the 1960s. The groups that the act put restrictions on were minors, convicted felons, fugitives, drug abusers and anyone dealing with a history of mental illness (Rosen 47). The second act is the Brady Act, which went into effect in 1994…

8) which clearly states his skeptic view on his question. He supports this claim by writing “Everything else is farther away from you than your inner experiences and thoughts, and reaches you only through them”. This proves that your experiences are emotion and impression based. Nagel then jumps into the notion of solipsism. Solipsism is the view that “your mind is the only thing that exists” (pg…

Carilyn Diaz Presas Sociology 330 April 6, 2016 Paper #1 Simmel’s reading, “The Metropolis and Mental Life”, is about the way the big city affects people and people’s psyche. Simmel has a negative view on how the city changes people and it is a horrible place to live in. The city makes people unconsciously change their way of thinking and their perspective on each other. City dwellers become more reserved as in they are not open to relationships as small town folk are. So city people do not…

gland, which make up the HPG axis. The HPG axis consists of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and the gonads – gonads being the testes in males and the ovaries in females. Together, the HPG axis regulates sex hormone production in a negative feedback loop. Three important hormones that are produced from this process are follicle-stimulating (FSH) hormone; luteinizing hormone (LH); and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH.) These hormones help to regulate the pituitary gland’s production of…

The Monster Squad is a Horror/Comedy classic released in 1987. When I say Horror, I mean it in the sense that it contains the Classic Universal Monsters to varying degrees. Which in my opinion is what really makes this movie as good as it is, because that certainly wasn't the writing. Honestly I had never even heard of this film until about six months ago, and after looking into I have no idea how I missed this film growing up. I can't feel that my lack on nostalgic goggles is bringing the film…

the fear of losing a loved one. Remen demonstrates that only by breaking away from the bureaucratic and emotionless medical narrative, and instead, by simply offering open ears and a hand to hold for those who are most afraid, can create a sense of inner-peace and an acceptance of death for those dying of terminal illnesses.…
