Lin

In Justin Lin's fifth installment to the Fast and Furious franchise, Fast Five , exhibits the lengths a person or rather a group is willing to go towards freedom and the consequences for that freedom. This is the case for the main character, Dominic Toretto ( Van Diesel) demonstrates this idea by forgoing his criminal past and starting his life anew with this last stint.

Mockevicius got their first minutes this preseason as well, but neither made much of a mark. By the end of the game, it was Boston 120, Brooklyn 98.

placement involved the testing of three potential mouse models to find the model most optimal in terms of modeling human sepsis: NOD scid gamma (NSG) mice repopulated with 1x105 Lineage negative (Lin-) Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) Cells, NSG mice transgenic for human IL3, GM-CSF, and SCF, repopulated with 1x105 Lin- UCB cells, and NSG mice repopulated with 5x106 UCB mononuclear cells. WHY WERE THESE MODELS PICKED, WHAT ARE SOME BENEFITS? These humanized mouse models involved a cecal ligation and…

The Age of Imperialism was a period of time when industrialized countries were selfish, greedy and egotistical. Countries and people that participated in imperialism had different motives for their actions; many wanted to gain control of land for military, economic, intellectual, religion and exploration. Essentially imperialism had become a game where countries were trying to become more powerful than their competitors by colonizing undeveloped land around the world. However, those that were…

Hopkins University study, Frank Lin, an otologist and epidemiologist, conducted his research by keeping track of about 2,000 senior’s cognitive abilities. He began to notice that the seniors with hearing loss prior to the study were 24 percent more likely than those with normal hearing to have a decline in cognitive abilities. “Researchers have looked at what affects hearing loss, but few have looked at how hearing loss affects cognitive brain function,” says Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D., “There…

without cues to change tasks (Burgess, 2000). “Media multitasking” is the term used to describe multitasking that involves at least one form of digital technology (Judd, 2013) or, more commonly two or more forms of technology (Brasel & Gips, 2011; Lin, Lee, & Robertson, 2011; Rideout, 2013). Cognitively, human multitasking is better understood as task switching, or continuous, often rapid redirections of attention. (Firat, 2013a, 2013b). Multitasking, it seems, has three dimensions: direction,…

The Opium Wars were a series of wars that took place between 1839 and 1860 although the fighting was not continuous and had brief times of non-fighting. The First war started in 1839 after a realized trade deficit on Britain's side with a high demand for Chinese goods including tea and silk with almost no demand for western good from China mainly because China was a self-sufficient nation and the fact that foreign trade was so tightly restricted. After a series of requests and demands from both…

Born in Beijing in 1920 to a family of Song imperial descendant, Zao Wou-ki grew up in Dantu, Jiangsu Province and spent his childhood learning calligraphy and Chinese literati traditions. Zao’s father was an amateur painter and his grandfather a former naval gunner of the late Qing Dynasty and a devoted Daoist disciple. Since Zao was still a child, the Daoist thoughts, a theme that would permeate throughout his oeuvre, had been rooted in his mind when he just started exploring the world of art.…

“We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger, we rise and fall and light from dying embers, remembrances that hope and love last longer. And love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside” proclaimed Lin-Manuel Miranda. A better world is possible with hope, respect and love. Hope is the desire of a better future, respect is the fuel that keeps everything moving forward, and love, love is the key to that future long…

In The Other Greeks, Hanson suggests a similar socioeconomic model of the Hoplite reform, yet he centers his study on the object of farming land rather than the whole picture of tradeoffs between the hoplite and the agricultural activities. He concurs with Viggiano and Cartledge in that overpopulation and relative land hunger were stimuli of revolution and struggle both inside and outside the polis. Within the local affairs of the city-state, “the population pressure on limited land led to the…
