City Life Scanning the clouds of Los Angeles, I drive my coupé around the city. The sky is blue, with a slight orange tint, alongside the dancing clouds floating around. Looking at my surroundings, I found so many uniform posters and flags sticking to the sidewalk. Squinting my eyes, I can see what it says: “Do you realize you don’t even need real foods? The only way to get healthy!” Ah commercials, I think. Ever since I existed in the world, foods have been scarce to mankind. What we eat…

Hunab Ku was viewed so highly that it was believed he did not participate in the affairs associated with humans. As in any religion, the creator of the universe and…

Spiriva HandiHaler There are many types of inhalation equipment and devices on the market. I decided to research and compare the Spiriva Handihaler with the other bronchodilators. To find out why it was chosen for a resident where I work, who has C.O.P.D. I want to develop a broader understanding of the medication. It is important to be aware of the benefits or disadvantages of the medications that I dispense, in order for me to be thorough, and efficient in my job duties. Spiriva…

the lake side, but most of all, I liked how here I could escape the disapproving gazes that seemed to endlessly pursue me. A few streets back I could hear the hoard of commuters fighting their way onto to the final train of the night, their yells piercing and horns blaring through the damp evening air. But the crowd meant nothing to me, I wasn’t a part of it, I never had been,…

In 2012 alone nearly 24 percent of Americans had more than one tattoo (Body Modification & Body Image." Bradley University). But when it comes to Body modifications many Americans think of just tattoos, piercings, etc. but the complete definition of a body modification is anything that changes the natural appearance of the body, so tanning, dieting, plastic surgery, even brushing of the teeth all count as body mods (Body Modification & Body Image."

“Jacob?” a quite, petite voice said. The white light was streaming in through my eyelids. My eyes opened, to see the bluest sky I had ever seen. Clouds floated in the air so beautifully, almost as if they were dancers on stage. As oxygen flooded into my lungs, I instantly felt rejuvenated and healed in places I didn’t even know was broken. I was laying in a field of grass, completely content with where I was. The grass was soft, almost as soft as a pillow. I was on a slight hill, with shade…

to me, but I will not let you hurt my sister!” Seething with rage, I punched him in the nose. A trickle of blood flowed down the man’s face. “You have made a grave mistake,” he whispered, his voice sounding not unlike the hiss of a king cobra.
