yet equally important good luck charms and other small keepsakes, that in themselves hold memories and superstitions. Among many of these barely weightless items is the necklace I got as a gift from my grandmother, a thin golden chain with a golden oval pendent, that I have carried around my neck every day for what has been so far twelve consecutive years, and along with it I carry memories, both good and bad. I also carry my family's superstitions, which in most cases are embodied in the items…

materials with stone, sand and limestone. Other materials used were marble, travertine, tuff, tile, bricks, cement and lime. These materials were “very durable, as is shown by the present condition of the blocks in the Colosseum.” The Colosseum had an oval shape with four different levels and it is 620 feet in length , 513 feet in width and has a height of over 150 feet. It took 10 years to complete this project, but to construct a building of this size required…

American football has benefitted significantly with regard to safety and prevention of sports impact injuries. The first effort to combat head injuries was in 1943 when the NFL first required players to start wearing basic, soft leathered helmets without any sort of facemask (Breech). In the 1950s, NFL players started wearing plastic helmets with single facemask bars (Breech). Variations of the plastic helmets with more facemask bars were worn up until the 1980s, when the first polycarbonate…

within the habitats. Tapir has the build of a pig combined with the snout that is similar like an elephant, also has striped or spotted coats that camouflage them within the forests (Bioexpedition). In addition, thick wooly long fur and the ears are oval and thin as well as sharp teeth (BioExpedition). The Tapir is a mammal that is in the Order Perissodactyla within the Genus Tapiroidea, where there are four known species, which they are Mountain Tapir, Malayan Tapir, Lowland Tapir, and…

Paramecium is part of the Alveolata clade, which are heterotrophs and a major clade that belogs to the kingdom Protista. Paramecium are single-celled organisms with an oval, slipper shaped. On the outside of the Paramecium you can find the radiatin canal and a contractile vacuole. The cytoplasm, food vacuoles, the macronucleus, and the micronucleus are located inside. Another characteristic of them is that they move faster than other protists. They live in aquatic environments, but most usual in…

The male reproductive system is responsible for producing, transporting, and maintaining sperm. It's also responsible for producing male sex hormones. These sex hormones actually take on the role of being responsible for maintaining the male reproductive system. Unfortunately, the male reproductive system also takes on the role of discharging its sperm into the female reproductive tract during sex. The major organs that make up your male reproductive system include the following: bladder,…

There were five cells observed while conducting the experiment. The five cells consisted of cardiac muscle, elodea (a plant), paramecium (a protist), rhizopus stolonifer (bread mold, a fungus), and Bacterial cells (bacilli). Each cell was observed under high power lens (except for rhizopus stolonifer) with a total magnification of 400μm and a dFOV of 400μm. The estimated object size, scale bar, and drawing magnification of each cell was found except for cardiac muscle. Each cell appeared much…

The author describes Sanders as him being “in a race for something, but it can’t be the oval office”. Through this phrase, it also the reader to visualize just how Sanders is not going to win the race and how he might have other motives. Not only that but, how he currently is not performing towards that goal rather in the opposite direction…

The Variola Virus The Variola virus, which exists in two strains, Variola Minor and Variola Major, has been the cause of one of humanity’s most devastating diseases -- smallpox. This disease is around 200-400 nanometers small and is oval or brick-shaped. The Variola virus, and including all other viruses, are not considered alive. They reproduce by coming in contact with a host cell (for the Variola strains, human animal cells) and injecting their DNA into the host to take its functions over.…

tests on the same subject, and students are always obsessing over tests. To begin with, standardized tests take up too much valuable learning time. Did you know almost twenty to twenty-five hours are spent just on testing? When it comes to filling in ovals on a answer key, students start to stress. Almost 2.3 percent of class time is wasted because of students taking standardized tests. Teachers usually begin getting students prepared for testing two or three weeks before students take the…
