Community-based activism was the driving force behind the fight against development and gentrification in the SOMA and Tenderloin neighborhoods, and even across the bay in Oakland. In the video, “Oakland: Our City” the narrator describes the benefits of urban renewal on blighted neighborhoods, but never addresses the impact it may have on the people who live in these areas. Revitalization of the city’s life and value is a key motivating force to development. Another motivating force is high-rise…

Sometimes I think I deserve this. I deserve to be disgusted by this. And sometimes I wished I could be more like you and the others; I would like to be able to ignore everything and just take some soma, and forget. But then I remember how happy the pain makes me. Because, Lenina, it is the pain that makes us see the world happier. Romeo, Othello, Hamlet... They made the same decision. This is the only way out, Lenina. And it hurts me so much the…

It also triggers the action potential and all or nothing response. The axon is a neuron’s extension that sends messages…
