RA_hand_deformity As a victim of both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis I was delighted at the news that sufferers now have fresh hope of something that will answer their needs. The news has been published that some after patients - given a revolutionary new electronic implant - were effectively cured of the dreadful condition. It appears that the doctors concerned employed tiny pacemaker style devices which were embedded in the necks of severe rheumatoid arthritis patients - like myself - to…

This is a story when my sister and I moved schools. We moved from Bostic Traditional Magnet Elementary School to Pleasantview Elementary School. We moved from Wichita to Derby in about a year. Which means we moved schools very quickly and I lost contact with a lot of my friends. I didn't have much fun because I had know except two of my friends from Bostic. My parents told us when we were in 4th and 2nd grade that we would be moving to Derby because we had bought land in. They said we could…

The most powerful message in Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates is that race is not a real thing that can be determined by a person's phenotype (the color their hair, skin, etc;). He presents blackness and whiteness as constructs used to reinforce the power dynamics of racism. Although what it meant to be white has changed so many times throughout the history of the United States, it maintained its perceived place of superiority and normalcy compared to anything, and anyone else.…

For example, large amounts of nerve endings are jammed into the fingertips, allowing humans to experience a very broad array of sensory information. Grinders would extend this sensory array spectrum by embedding super magnets from cellular phones into the tips of their fingers, so their fingers vibrate in the presence of electrical current. As synthesia develops, new neural pathway formation from these new sensations over time causes an almost sixth sense to appear, where…

Nathan Hill Per. 1 3-2-15 Wind Power Wind power has been used since ancient times. The earliest known use was 5000 BC, when it was used by Egyptians to propel boats. (Wood) In the Middle Ages, it was used for grinding corn. (Darvill) Then, it was used in the American colonies for grain, water, and wood. (Wood) Currently, it accounts for less than 1% of energy production in the US. (Layton) However, it usage has quadrupled between 2000 and 2006, and it is estimated that one third of electricity…

How threatening it might sound, nuclear medicine is a very common type of treatment, as “On average, one in every two Australians can expect at some stage of his or her life to undergo a nuclear medicine procedure,” (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization). It may come as a surprise, but these include Nuclear Imaging such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), Pet scans, CT (Computerized Tomography) CAT (Computerized Axial Tomography). And no it is not A green liquid in a capsule…

Chapter-1 Introduction  Concept: A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) augments an electric vehicle (EV) with a second source of power referred to as the alternative power unit (APU). A hybrid can achieve the cruising range and performance advantages of conventional vehicles with the low-noise, low-exhaust emissions, and energy independence benefits of electric vehicles Accordingly, the hybrid concept, where the alternative power unit is used as a second source of energy, is gaining acceptance…

an important decision: deciding which high school I wanted to attend. I had only one high school in my mind, which was Eastside High School because it was the school I was zoned to attend. Then, Carolina High School’s Engineering and Health Academy Magnet Coordinator came to my middle school and talked about the programs offered there. I visited three different schools to experience the atmosphere and environment. I asked questions about the academic programs, clubs, graduation rates, and what…

Isotopes in forensic science Forensic scientist face a lot of difficulties while trying to voice what our bodies say about our death. One of the difficulties that they face is that often doctors and pathologists say ‘I’ve seen this before. The person died … years/month/weeks ago’. If this happens then the whole crime investigation can go the wrong way because knowing when the person died is a key information the investigator should know because if the investigator interrogate a suspect and the…

Since the earliest times of human documentation, social stratification has been in existence. In 350 BCE, Aristotle wrote about the rankings of free people and slaves in his book “Politics.” During the Age of Enlightenment, philosophers such as Locke and Montesquieu wrote about the feudal system of social stratification. In the 1800s, sociologists Marx, Durkheim, and Weber began to analyze social stratification more in-depth, developing theories that continue to have an influence today.…
