Sounder

I do not consider myself a video games fan, nor do I consider videogames a sport. I love playing soccer with my son, or going for a walk with my husband. A sport that keeps me on the move, something that makes me feel better and energize at the end of the day. Even if I do not have time to go out to exercise, I have a very good routine to do at home some push-ups, squats, abdominal, and I am good to go. If you can see by now the location does not really matter when it comes to sports, you can…

(Filatova, et al., 2012). False killer whales produce three types of sounds for communication: echolocation sounds, fast pulsing sounds, and tonal whistles (Yuen, Nachtigall, Breese, & Vlachos, 2007). A study shows that commercially available echo sounders can be heard by marine mammals including false killer whales from hundreds of yards away which could affect the behavior of the false killer whales (Deng, et al., 2014). Because false killer whales have such acute hearing, they are especially…

screenwriting, and social nuance. 1967 was the year that also saw Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (Kramer, 1967), In The Heat of The Night (Jewison, 1967), and Hurry Sundown (Preminger, 1967) cement the careers of Sidney Poitier and Diahann Carroll. Poitier and Carroll were among a handful of actors to appear in major Hollywood productions that addressed themselves to the blackness of the actors, while suggesting accommodation of their civil rights environs. With the contemplation of mixed…

Ailuropoda melanoleuca or Pandas are fluffy, cute, and often great focuses within youtube videos. These animals are being driven to extinction (“Great Panda”). Efforts have been made to help the species survive, but there are only 1, 864 are left in the world. Homo sapiens or humans are evolved forms of mammals. We are one of the millions of species that inhabit the earth and yet some believe that we are more important than the aggregation of rest of the species on planet earth. We hold more…

In the collection of essays, In Search of a Better World, Karl Popper, in which he is most know for rejecting the scientific method, embraces the idea of empirical science. His disagreement stemmed from the notion that science can never be proven, but it may be falsified. These ideas are reflection of previous noted philosophers such as Plato and Socrates with respect to academics, which are expanded upon and are implemented in today’s science society. Popper also explains the concept of an…

Johannes Kepler declared to the world that Mars travels on an elliptical orbit in his magnum opus the Astronomia Nova. This new elliptical orbital model of Mars not only perfected the heliocentric model of Copernicus in terms of providing it with a sounder mathematical foundation, and rendering it more able to predict the motion of Mars better than any traditional geocentric model like that of described by Ptolemy in the Almagest, but also challenged the ancient belief in the uniform circular…

transgenic organisms for better durability when encountering harsh weather, as well as extreme sustainability when faced with other factors of nature. Some claims suggest that gmos use less land for crops, have more nutrients, and have a faster and sounder production rate. However, despite these comforting traits regarding the creation of transgenic organisms, there is a dark side. GMOs are linked to very unsettling amounts of diseases, lack restrictions on regulations, and cause many problems…

Nicholas Copernicus’s writings date back to 1473 - 1543. At this specific time in history, Scripture was believed to be the divine source of knowledge; however, Copernicus had his own views that he was wary about sharing. As his “friends” persuaded him to share his beliefs and findings, he structured his argument carefully. Not only did he understand his audience, he argued that he was not the first individual to write down his words and thoughts that differed from Scripture. As the Bible…

One outcrop of the Social Cognitive Theory, associated with teaming, is the concept of resilience. Resilience is a person’s ability to adapt to stress and adversity. According to Anderson, Christenson, and Sinclair (2004), there has in recent years been an increase in the interest of fostering resilience of children. One of the findings of their report was that positive supportive relationships with adults is associated with resilience in children, and that the adult supporting the student…

“Study after study reminds us that higher education is one of the best investments we can make...”(Owen, S., & Sawhill). In the essay, “Should Everyone go to College”, written by Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill, the two authors work together to form a strong argument on idea that everyone should go to college. Money, personal success, and personal well- being are the main subjects that the authors present to the readers. This paper will evaluate some of the different components of writing that…
