The Trigger

A method of estrus synchronization is the use of progestin, which can include vaginal implants or oral products, which will trigger the estrous cycle in cows and heifers (Rasby & Deutscher 2016). The treatment, which will inhibit estrus and therefore ovulation for up to 14 days, is often followed by the introduction of prostaglandin or gonadotrophins (Mallory et al. 2010; Powell…

Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five comments largely on the destructive nature of war. Our childlike protagonist Billy Pilgrim was essentially robbed of his innocence due to his drafting into the military. My first thoughts on this novel were about how Billy’s story extends to other soldiers and victims of war. The breaking of men and women’s’ ability to cope with the world extends far past the case of Billy. This is not just an isolated incident, it occurs much more often than most people care…

clients who normally don’t have the stability of a place to live to get treatment. One reason why residential facilities are considered the “primary modality for treating substance use disorders is because they believe it removes the person from the triggers that are caused by the demand and contingencies of their daily life” (Stevens & Smith, pg. 101).

its publication, there has been controversy regarding the amyloid cascade hypothesis, questioning its validity and whether or not Aβ accumulation is the primary event that causes AD. The amyloid cascade hypothesis clearly states that Aβ deposition triggers the formation of NFTs (Hardy and Higgins, 1992).

interviewed Flynn last February, but that he destroyed evidence of his revision history. In a series of tweets on Sunday, Cernovich reported the FBI was in "full on freak-out mode" as many fear this bomshell report will surface into the media and trigger a congressional subpoena for the records. A "302" form is what FBI officials file after they interview an individual, and deleting or altering…

One objection is that no matter the circumstance you are pulling the trigger on a life. It doesn't matter the time you are stopping a life and preventing its right to life. Now that you are pregnant it is your responsibility to cherish this life and take care of it. You cannot end this life and say it is justified. Just like pulling the trigger of a gun you are not first-hand killing a person, but you are making the choice that ends in a person's death or…
