During my internship at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center (STC), I gained more confidence in my decision in eventually pursuing a career in health care, either through being a researcher or a physician. I first started my internship at the University of Maryland STC in my senior year of high school as a requirement for my magnet program. The internship was a volunteer position but we performed basic tasks such as stocking each bay with supplies and saline solution, retrieving blood…

Krabs climbed from a poor child to a rich owner of a popular restaurant. Yet Mr. Krabs is not portrayed as a success story, for much of his success derives from immoral doings and greediness. Mr. Krabs is seen in “Culture Shock” jumping frantically onto a table to take a penny tip left by a customer. He capitalizes upon Squidward’s terrible performance by selling tomatoes to guests to be thrown on stage. In “Money Talks”, Mr. Krabs’ obsession with money is illuminated. The…

The CARVER plus Shock method is an offensive targeting prioritization tool that can assess the vulnerabilities within a system to an attack (www.fda.gov). By using this method, the most vulnerable points of a system can be determined through a vulnerability assessment and in turn resources deployed to cover and shield the organizations at the identified vulnerability points.

I honestly cannot think of any culture shock I have been through, unless the anxiety I felt when my husband and I drove through New York City this past March would be consider culture shock. I do not feel this was, since I knew what to expect from how they drive, I just don’t like it. Cutting people off and switching lanes with out more area to maneuver makes me anxious and I don’t feel in control. That is why my husband is the one that drives once we leave the New England Area. I grew up…

she initially expresses shock and grief. She locks herself away in her room and soon after her feelings evolve and begin to overwhelm her. Ironically, as the story continues, the tone shifts and there are indications that Mrs. Mallard has other feelings, that at face value would be considered inappropriate. Also, it is clear that the strength of her feelings is so great that when she finds out her husband is actually alive, it jolts her and as a result, she dies of shock. Effectively, Chopin…

I stand shell-shock. Looking at the women only fifteen years older than me. My mother. I'm watching her get pulled away from me. She's screaming at the big men in black suits to keep me safe. She is pulled away from me. Before I can help it, tears are welling in my eyes, and I am screaming. "I want mom back! BRING HER BACK!" I am sobbing by the time I am done. A woman then crouches in front of my two-year-old form. "It's okay sweetie. We’re gonna bring you and your brother to a better home."…

Shift-shock, Nitro-junkie & Badmotorjam I have a natural appreciation for muscle cars, classic automobiles, motorcycles et al. So you 'll have to indulge me while I quench my thirst with gasoline. My experience last week at the pump started the proverbial pistons firing in my head and I thought why not throw up the hood and look to see what makes this work. I 'm not an expert mechanic, but I know how the parts function and am not afraid to try a few things out. I have noticed that whenever…
