Chlopolean At my physical this year my doctor confirmed what I already knew deep, deep down in my heart of hearts: I’m done growing. I’ve seen pictures from when I was born, and even then I was tiny. Still, I’d never really thought about my size much until I was about eleven and I realized that I was the only one in my class still wearing clothes from The Children’s Place. I had always just assumed I’d catch up to my peers. My mother and father are 5’8 and 6’3 respectively, and they too had…

Larisa Snitko Mr. Scinta Animal Research May 19, 2015 Snowy Owl Hi, I’m strigiform! Actually, that’s my scientific name for snowy owl, so I’m actually Larisa the Owl! I know you want to know ALL about me, so I’ll gladly fill you in on snowy owls! My phylum name is chordate. My mom could be at least 6.5 pounds and my dad could also be at least 5.5 pounds. My parents could be 25-27 inches tall. The older I get my fur will get whiter and I will have some black dots on me but it all will disappear…

Ansuya walked briskly, head down, following the cracks in the pavement closely with her feet. Her dark brown hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders and obscured her face slightly. She was too distracted by her concentration to brush it away from her tired brown eyes. The rubber souls of her sandals had to fall just so, parallel to each new crease in the ground. This was often a difficult task, as the brick streets of Mumbai’s suburbs were full of cracks and damage caused by the decades of…

Manchester, England -- In an effort to scratch his never-ending itch, Sol N. Foote has surgically had one of his hands attached to his left ankle. Since birth Mr. Foote has suffered from Pruritus, the medical term for itching. Pruritus can occur anywhere on your skin, however, the feet are particularly susceptible, as people place them in hot and sweaty conditions by wearing overly tight footwear. Allowing exposure to water and other irritants when barefoot can also cause infectious bacteria and…

organization has the dual handset telephone infrastructure, they could presumably seat their own, staffed interpreters at an internal call center to take OPI calls. Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) takes place when two parties at the same location experience a communication barrier, and place a videophone call to an interpreter at a remote location. This way, the interpreter does not need to be physically present to receive visual and situational information. VRI is helpful because A VRI…

1 Data archiving is the process of moving data that is no longer actively used to a separate storage device for long-term retention. Archive data consists of older data that is still important to the organization and may be needed for future reference, as well as data that must be retained for regulatory compliance. Data archives are indexed and have search capabilities so files and parts of files can be easily located and retrieved. Archiving information involves removing old inactive files…

one hundred ninety-six countries (One-hundred ninety-five, if people don’t include Taiwan) in the world and they all use the metric system, except Burma, Liberia, and the United States. Gabriel Mouton is the “father” of the International System of Units because he proposed the idea of the decimal system of measurement in 1670. The decimal system was an easy concept to comprehend, and throughout many years scientists would revise his work and make it better. During the French Revolution in 1790,…

nation. Consequently, why should America compromise their success by sticking with an unconventional system of measurement? It is for this and many other reasons why the U.S.A should convert to the metric system. The metric system is a multinational unit of measurement in both the real world and the science field. It is not only renowned but also easier to use overall. Ultimately, the time for the metric system has finally come for the good of America. The metric system is the standard in 95%…

Visiting the station made me feel as though I had traveled through time. After our visit of Grand Central Terminal we walked over to Lexington Avenue and found ourselves in front of the Chrysler Building. Growing up I always felt that the Empire State Building has always been the most popular building in New York, and felt as though the Chrysler Building was…

Savannah, Georgia is a populous city filled with people of all different cultures, but surprisingly there are areas which unknowingly combine several sub-cultures together to form one large culture in Savannah. Keller’s Flea Market, which is a family owned business started in March of 1965, is a prime example of a multicultural society that can be compared on a continental or global scale. The experience of the flea market began when I missed the turn to the parking lot. Instead, I was required…
