Neon

named Cai Guo-Qiang. It can be viewed at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, Massachusetts. It consists of nine white Ford Tauruses hanging vertically in a large rotunda. Each of the nine white Ford Tauruses is being pierced with numerous neon flashing light tubes. The nine white American cars are placed so that it seems that cars are spiraling in an upward direction. The concept of Inopportune: Stage One is to simulate every moment of the car bomb explosion from a neutral point of…

The bell rings and lets us out for lunch. Before I enter the crowded hallway I look both ways, I can hear them following me. I walk through a sea of leg warmers and sweatbands. I can smell the hairspray and the badly washed perms. Girls with bright colored scrunchies skip side by side. Everyone seems carefree and unworried, it doesn't make any sense. I can sense their close. I feel their panting breathe on my hear. They want my life. Their the predators in this jungle. I am simply prey. Beads…

The most readily recognized use for helium gas is to inflate blimps, scientific balloons and party balloons. The barcode scanners in stores use helium-neon lasers to scan barcodes and transmit the information to the computer. Tanks you use for scuba diving are made of 80 percent helium. Helium is known as He on the periodic table. Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe and was discovered…

in their body and expel the water forcibly. This action is called jet propulsion. It moves the octopus swiftly backwards through the water. That is why they swim head first with their arms trailing behind. Sometimes they travel flashing bright neon blue rings for two reasons, one as warning to tell other predictors to swim by and two, they are chasing their…

Nuclear Fusion and the Remains of a Dead Star Throughout the history of Earth, multicellular organisms rely on one thing, the sun. And throughout the observable universe, there are million of stars out there just like our sun. These stars could be different however, with either more mass, volume, heat, etc. In our high school career, we learn a lot about astronomy, such as the order of the planets in our solar system. We also learn about gravity, rotation of planets, and how long it takes…

the gut. “Eyes in the hourglass,” she croons, as the beat suddenly flares, and breezy hi hats bring in the chorus. That’s not even the real chorus, though - wait for the breakdown, where Hervey’s voice fragments into whispered phrases as a pulsing, neon synth rises from the deep. Disclosure seem to be approaching their sophomore album in a litany of different ways - the group has yet to master some approaches, but they’ve hit the nail on the head with “Hourglass”. One of Disclosure’s best, and…

hits at least ten probably even eleven people: when socks go missing! I, after being bestowed upon with these powers, have made it my mission and duty to save America: one sock at a time. It all started two years ago when I wanted some awesome looking neon green socks. I immediately searched for them on the computer and clicked on the first website I saw, because the millions of other search results never matter. With surprisingly quick speed…

It was a warm, muggy evening in November 2012. Dad had just returned home from a long day at work, and so he asked if anyone wanted to go with him on a quick paddle ride. As usual, I said yes. Living right next to the water makes it easy for us to just jump on the kayak and go, and we had a good chance of seeing lots of different organisms and critters out there. There were southern stingrays, nurse and bonnethead sharks, and barrel sponge, to name a few. But today, we were to find something…

I waited, very shaky in the long line to go on Rockin’ Rollercoaster. It was a warm day where the sun was shining down and I was pacing back and forth the whole morning in the hotel room. I had terrible butterflies in my stomach. Waiting in line felt like forever, but in all reality not much time had past. I waited and waited. I felt like one of those cartoon characters who is standing around waiting for something awful to happen. I looked up at my dad sniffing and wiping the cold tears that…

In Michelle Crouch’s and Mary Kate Frank’s article,“Caffeine Overload?” from Junior Scholastic , they argue that caffeine is harmful and shouldn’t be advertised to minors. The author claims that caffeine is dangerous because, it can cause tiredness, decreased brain development, hyperactivity and other serious problems for health, especially for young people. The FDA was asked to require safety warnings on energy drinks, showing again how serious this problem is. “These drinks have no…
