working property of glass known as inflation. This refers to the expansion of glass by passing a small amount of air into it. The property exists as a result of the liquid structure of glass, where strong bonds hold the atoms together in a complex and random network. Thus molten glass possesses sufficient viscosity to be blown and allows it to harden while retaining the blown shape. During blowing,…
A RANDOMIZED, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED, CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSE COMPARISON OF UNILATERAL POSTERIOR-TO-ANTERIORLY DIRECTED MOBILIZATION OF THE NECK IN PAIN-FREE ADULTS BACKGROUND Neck pain is a prevalent malady, ranking fourth most burdensome disease worldwide, which results in considerable functional and economic implications (Vos et al., 2010).

Theological questioning has existed for as long as religion has but in the 1600s, it seems to have picked up fire. It was during this time that scientific study increased and discoveries that were being made went against what the church had said to be true; so, people began to question what else could be false. Meditations on First Philosophy by René Descartes discusses this topic and goes as far as outlining an argument as to why God is real. Descartes was writing at the same time of the…

exciting—sex, in Kendrick’s case. He may also be alluding to the Blood street gang—“phonk” is a common slang term used by Piru Bloods. He uses Tetris as an analogy for different sexual positions. Tetris is a video game that involves arranging random sequences of different Tetriminos, or “blocks,” with the aim of creating a horizontal line without gaps.

For Cage, the 1950s brought him a sequence of critical events that both developed him as a composer and brought him much fame, or notoriety to some. He had a strong interest in Eastern Zen philosophy, a subject that is reinforced and incorporated in all of his musical works, which grew throughout the…
female gametes fuse together to create a cell with the correct amount of chromosomes. Gametes contain a haploid number of chromosomes to ensure that after fertilisation, the diploid number of chromosomes is restored. The recombinant stage is when the random crossing over of genes at the same loci takes place (Appendix 8). This crossing over allows variation between organisms (OCR, 2008). Genes can be described as dominant, recessive or co-dominant. Dominant genes are inherited from both parents…
