I hate the sun in summer. It's sweaty and painful. I especially hate having to wake up early, to find my eyes tearing because of the scorching sun. It also reminds me of things I don't want to remember, like that day when I turned 18 years old. On that day, under the bright, bright sky, I walked out without looking back. Even though things ended up like this, I don't regret my decision. After all, if I started asking myself "what if" then I would trap myself in a never-ending cycle and that sort…

When I come into school in morning my friends more than often greet me by asking "How were the woods?". Maybe on occasion people get this greeting, but I think I found this to be a from a unique quirk I have. The outdoors has become the place of my pastimes, the place I think, and a place I frequent. I could be backpacking, Nordic skiing, trail running, spending a night, or just a short hike, but I do this activities almost everyday, just as part of my routine. I get drawn to the outdoors…

"There is a passion for hunting something deeply implanted in the human breast. Charles Dickens" I have had that passion living in my bosom since I was old enough to understand hunting. Growing up in a small town doesn't come with many perks, everyone knows your business, everything fun is 30+ miles from you, and it's really hard to escape awkward situations with certain people. Hunting is my escape from all of that.…

One of the most threatening impacts to Ca2+ indicators is photobleaching. Photobleaching is defined as the irreversible damage caused by the generation of a less fluorescent species of the FP. It results in a decrease of fluorescence signal over time. The more resistant a Ca2+ indicator is to photobleaching, the longer it can provide reliable and useful information about the measured Ca2+ signals (Thomas, Tovey et al. 2000). The SNR is defined as the difference between the level of the desired…

I stand there under the hot, humid sun as the sweat pouring down the side of my cheeks. Looking down at my black, leather watch, I wonder when the members will arrive. “There is a field trip today for Art Club at the Orange County Museum of Art at 2 PM, but I guess I get here a little too early,” I thought to myself. Participating in the club activities as an member is the best experience I have during the my high school career. It blows me out of my little shell. Being in the U.S for barely…

Sandy Scroll awoke to the sound of rusted bells – not so much a chime as a series of dull, metallic thunks in the distance – and was greeted by the familiar scents of dust and ash and centuries-old paper. She rubbed a beige hoof against her aching temple and shivered at the frigid draft that blew through the window in front of her. The fire on her hearth must have died while she had slept, and it had been ages since this town had produced glass with which to ward off the winter winds. Sand…

It was a sweltering day in the summer of 2009. The dawn of the day started like any other day, with the rising sun and the bright blue sky; however, it ended like no other day. I woke up to the sounds of chatter that came from downstairs. It was noisier than usual because we had family from California and Canada over at our house. This happened due to the fact that our two-story house had unoccupied rooms, but there was an influx of people, so my brother and I had to surrender the room that we…

As an administrator at the Sunlight Hospital, I have concerns about the complaints that are going on amongst my patients and the quality care that my patients need. Even though the patients love the hospital, it seems like there are somethings that I need to address to assure that my patients are getting the best care. First I would start a suggestion box that way the patients can post their concerns and its anonymous to see how I can improve the structure of the company. I’m also going to see…
