I’ve always been fascinated with Egyptian history and mythology. It was during my studies of Egyptian mythology that I first became acquainted with the Ankh symbol. Therefore, when I see this symbol I have positive associations with it because of its links with this religious tradition. For me, this has always been a positive symbol of life. The Ankh is a symbol which looks like a cross with a loop at the top. It was called the crux ansata, which in Latin means “cross with a handle.” (1) The…

his chest. His left arm and leg are severed, which could be the reasoning for him not standing while protecting himself. The artist has used many shapes and forms in this piece which are represented by geometric shapes. The head is represented by an oval, circular shape. His face is pierced with two circular holes that are a bit pointy at the top which denote…

Henry Ford was the founder of Ford Motor Company and born in 1863. He found an apprentice job as a machinist at the Michigan Car Company in Detroit after leaving his home at the age of 16. Ford had a determination to enhance on his prototype. Thus, he sold the Quadricycle that he built in 1896 so he could persist building other vehicles (History 2016). He joined up with a group that founds the Detroit Automobile Company in 1899. However, he left the company after 3 years as his partner keen to…

It is coated with nuclear pores that allow some materials inside the nucleus, while not permitting access to others. Eukaryotic cells only contain one nucleus that appear to have a rounded or oval like structure. It is found inside the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Animal and plant cells fall under the category of eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not contain a nucleus. As shown under the transmission electron microscope…

The White House may be the most iconic building in the United States. From the time the first cornerstone was laid in 1792, many renovations, influenced by several U.S. presidents, have taken place. The necessary changes that were made, included the entire interior reconstruction, new rooms to address expanding White House Staff, and the utilization of modern building materials. From its original construction, it has progressed and changed and will progress more. Some people may ask,…

In the early 1950s, civil rights movements took America by full force. Whether it be the end of Harry S. Truman’s eight years in the Oval Office, or the beginning of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s two-terms, the political pendulum in the United States violently swung back towards conservatism. In The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, and in Inherit The Wind, by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee, fear is the driving force of prejudice. Respected political philosopher Thomas Paine made the claim, “Belief in…

A small clump of hair was recovered from a murder victim who was holding onto the clump of hair. The first step is to determine the color, length, and diameter of the hair found. The shape and color intensity of pigment granules can be different if the hair has been dyed or bleached. Dyed hair has color in the cuticle and cortex; bleaching removes pigment and gives a yellow tint. Then, determine if the hair found is human hair or animal hair by checking the cuticle scale patterns. There are 3…

One of the most consequential players in the 2016 presidential election was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook. His egregious mismanagement was a key reason for the campaign’s failure, and consequently why Donald Trump is sitting in the Oval Office. If I could be any person who has been active in politics, I would choose Mook so I could correct his mistakes and set the country on a different path than that which we now find ourselves on. The human aspect of an American election cannot…

was the inside man providing information to the outside. The President was powerless due to the likeliness of Mark Felt exploiting all of the information he has to the public if he was revealed as a source. There were microphones set up in the Oval Office used to record private conversations. These tapes were later released to the public and revealed a great deal about Nixon. The tapes revealed the attempted cover-ups for the Watergate scandal. There were even tapes that were…
