John Steinbeck’s The Red Pony, a collection of stories revolving around a young boy coming of age, and The Grapes of Wrath, a novel written about a family's journey from the aftermath of the Dust Bowl to their life in California, illustrates that a person’s character changes when one goes through adversities and grows from those obstacles. People don’t just experience hardships and forget about what happened. There is something that provokes feeling in them to cause a change in the way they may…

of kashrut (Markoe, 2013). There are kosher food pantries to buy kosher foods from and stores often now carry meats that are labeled as such. Despite the relatively small amount of Jewish people that follow kashrut practices in the United States, Quartz Media reports that “more than 40% of the country’s new packaged food and beverage products in 2014 are labeled as being kosher” (Shanker, 2015). Americans are turning towards eating kosher foods because they believe that it is healthier, often…

Picture Perfect? Hi I am Arabella is a junior in high school, and a varsity cheerleader at Siesta Key High School. I am four foot eight inches, and a flyer on the cheer team. I am dating the star football at SKHS, and his name is Tom. Tom was not only a star football player, but he was also very good at soccer, basketball, baseball, and volleyball. He was a liar, and a cheater too. Anyways, people just call me Bella. I love sports and loved spending my days off at the beach. I especially love…

silver moon path to the Fortunate Isles and ask Her blessing. Dance near water. Swim. Visit a well and dedicate it to Her for the night. If you have a sword and scabbard dedicated to Her, tonight you work with the healing scabbard. If you have a clear quartz ball, tonight She will reveal Herself to you within the crystal. Waning Moon Morrigan is a Warrior Goddess, a battle raven, a banshee, and Washer of Shrouds. This is a good time to ask Her for courage, fortitude, and strength in your…

The aim of this paper is to explore biodynamic farming as it specifically relates to viticulture. Biodynamic practices may have an impact on not only the health of vineyard soil and crop, but also enology. According to Trippetts, Count Carl von Keyserlingk of Germany requested a group of farmers and doctors to address the problem of declining soil and crop quality in Europe (Tippetts, 2012). Biodynamics was developed to answer this request. In the 1920s Dr. Rudolf Steiner developed the…

During the study of the generation surface electrical charge by applying pressure on some material, they found out an unusual phenomenon which was a voltage of opposite polarity was generated by pressure was applied on the crystalline minerals such as quartz. The amplitude of the generated voltage was proportional to the applied load [1]. The phenomenon was named as “piezoelectric” and the effect called as “piezo effect” [2]. In the following year, the inverse piezo effect was proposed by…

queen's jewelry box, throughout her time as a lady-in-wait she had never open the beautifully decorated box with gem lining the outside. She opened the box and stopped, in the box were rubies, sapphire, gold, black onyx, Mother of a pearls, jade, quartz, zircon, opal, topaz, emerald, amber, agate, amethyst, garnet, cobalt, and so many more. She blink out thought of how many people it would feed and how many medicine…

Light spectroscopy has become an incredibly useful tool in analyzing the structure and composition of compounds. Specifically, the principles of absorption, the process by which an electron absorbs radiation to excite from a lower energy state to a higher energy state, and fluorescence, the emission of photons when a material is subjected to radiation, allow for the identification and analysis of unknown concentrations of compounds.1 With that being said, the purpose of this experiment is to…

Organ donation is a very big issue that affects thousands of people worldwide. So many people are waiting for organ transplants, but a large portion of them die because of a major shortage. There are a lot of doctors and scientists are working to find a solution to this growing problem. There are many solutions to this problem but most them are controversial and will be hard to put into place. Some of these solutions include: educating the public, installing the opt-out law, and biotechnology.…

Particle (steel and spherical particles) waterjet is a new type of waterjet that can effectively break rock and other materials. In this study, simulation combined with experimental method was conducted to optimize the jet parameters (i. e., velocity, water pressure, impact time, concentration, diameter, and standoff distance) for modeling the rock breaking performance of a particle waterjet. In particular, the changes in the rock and particle properties after the impact were analyzed based on…
