The Ultimate Experience: Life in Color I. Introduction In what may seem a harsh generalization, I would like to begin by considering the likelihood of a Christian committing suicide to gain an early entry into heaven? On first inclination, we know this would not happen because they perceive suicide to be a sin. Even with a less nuanced version, we know that in spite of the belief of heaven and a perfect afterlife, there has not been a wide scale mass extinction of Christians any time lately. If I were to formally ask someone this question, they would probably think that I was joking, because of how absurd it sounds. My point is: this is similar to Nozick’s experience thought machine. Philosophers, such as Nozick, argued that a life plugged into the experience machine is not in fact a life at all. Furthermore, if people were to be given the option to stay plugged into the experience machine, which would provide them endless bliss, they still would not take it. If the question of why would a person not chose to plug into the experience machine is not clear, I once again bring up the idea of a Christian committing suicide, which may people may find incredulous. Why is it that it would be incredulous for a Christian to chose to live another life of more happiness, yet it would not be so for someone to plug into Nozick’s own experience thought machine? If Nozick’s experience machine offers happiness through a chosen series of experiences, and the gist of heaven is that there…

On Little Wings Book Review On Little Wings is a mysterious novel by Regina Sirois. Set on the friendly coast of Maine, the novel is no doubt a heartwarmer for tweens, teens, and adults. The main character, Jennifer, is the only child to parents that are both only children. She is a calm, logical, 16-year-old girl living in the golden state of Kansas. The plot twist is found in the very beginning of the book, where Jennifer finds a photograph of a strange woman in the attic of her house. The…

This shows Onychonycteris finneyi, a bat fossil. The image shows its wing digits widely spread out with small claws on tip of each finger. It also shows the long tail found in earlier bat fossils (Moskowitz, 2008). Molecular Mechanisms The origins of bats wing muscles, molecular and cellular mechanisms are unknown but this research shows that the wing muscles of bats come from “a multiple myogenic source of different embryonic origins” (Tokita, Abe, && Suzuki, 2012). The results conclude that…

The Warpaint Emerald Dragonfly is a fascinating dragonfly. The size of this dragonfly is above the average size for the genus. Each of the four wings of this dragonfly can move independently and are powered by powerful muscles. The wings normally beat 35 times per second and propel the dragonfly to speeds of 35 miles per hour. Dragonflies have a visual field of almost 360 degrees. The legs of dragonflies are not able to walk. The Warpaint Emerald Dragonfly is about 49-50 mm long in adults.…

A Wing and a Prayer Small northern communities are tight knit. It’s not that everybody knows everybody else’s business, but everybody is conscious who has not come back from the trap line come dark, whose boats are out on the lake on a windy day, and what flying conditions are like as they listen for that unmistakable drone of a returning Otter or Beaver. Often people will gather and go out to wistfully search the horizon for comforting signs of their loved ones. Such was the case one heavily…

fly from the roof of a hospital. He wrote in a letter “I will take off from Mercy and fly away on my own wings” (Morrison 3). While this is clearly an act of suicide, the people may not have thought this to be true. “A few of the half…

The Evolution of the Trope of Flying In Morrison’s Song of Solomon Flying is a trope which is depicted prominently in Toni Morrison’s book Song of Solomon. This trope appears in the book as a branch of magic realism and it provides the magical element within harshness and tepid realism. The trope unites all the different elements of the story together throughout the entire book. Obviously, flying is an important clue in the book and it is used for both literally and figuratively as a way to…

As the early morning sun begins to rise, my nest is bathed nest is bathed in the warmth of its heavenly yellow glow. I straighten my legs and stretch out my wide grey wings. I look at my neighbouring nests to ensure that they’re all sleeping, then I take off into flight. I love going for a fly every morning and today was no exception. There is just something calming about soaring through the air. There’s the wind rushing past you, tickling all your individual feathers. It is just a wonderful way…

In this laboratory session, the pressure distribution over a NACA 2415 aerofoil for a range of angle of attack was measured. The lift coefficient for the aerofoil was calculated and compared with the published NACA data, the effect of the leading-edge slat is determined using the wind tunnel experiment. Also understand the aerofoil characteristic in terms of fundamental fluid dynamics. The coefficient of pressure (C_p) is calculated by the ratio of static pressure (P-P_∞) over the dynamic…
