make it through to the end. Regardless of the outcome, they may find comfort in it. Those affected by mental illnesses do not have the same ease of access to this societal backbone. It comes down to society playing a vital role in changing this. Ruby Wax, in What’s so funny about Mental Illnesses, begins to break the stigma on mental illnesses through her humorous presenting style. People have always said there is no time for…

room we went resting for a while. My sister desi and I played games for a while then we layed about for a bit worn out from using up our energy. The next thing we did was head to a wax museum. We entered the wax museum kind of skeptical as to how it would look inside. Tickets had to be paid for before we could enter the wax part of the museum. After my father paid the entrance…

analysis of a ball of wax. Francis Bacon, in his work The New Organon, opens his argument with the creation of a caste-system, dividing humanity first implicitly, with an entomological allegory, and then explicitly. First, the bugs: The men of experiment are like the ant, they only collect…

Once Descartes has laid the foundation for what he does not know and his skepticism, he goes on to talk about what he does know. Descartes then goes on an intellectually based journey to establish a greater understanding of his “self”, because that is what is most reliable. He begins this journey with an argument called the ‘cogito’. Descartes realizes that since he is capable of doubting- which is what he has been doing- then he must exist. Although he doubts everything else about the…

are normally made from paraffin wax with a wick in the middle. Candles can also be made from soy wax or other plant wax, animal fat or bee wax. Wax acts as a fuel to keep the candle burning. The wick has to be an absorbent twine with strong capillary ability. When the wick of a candle is lit, the heat from the flame will melt the wax surrounding the wick. The melted wax will be absorbed by the wick and the capillary action will pull the wax upwards. When the wax approaches the flame, it will…

for my experiment is, does wax affect the speed of skiing? I’m also planning on testing the wax in different conditions, and at different slope angles. This seems like a very interesting project, because I really like skiing and snowboarding. Last year my project wasn’t very interesting to me, so I’m glad I picked a topic that seems more interesting for me. In order to do my experiment, I have to do some research. The topics I researched were wax and different types of wax. Also I will want to…

Just as wax has clear properties of color, shape,size, smell and even taste, and it has a distinguishable sound when it is struck. It has everything that a body has to be known to be distinct as possible, but when near a hot fire the property of the wax changes completely to the point that it is unrecognizable from its original shape. The color changes, texture and smell changes, and the shape is completely different,and it will not make a sound when struck or hit, although the same wax remains.…

just creating a costume or prop piece in the interest of entertainment. Wax is an easy and decently effective method of special effects makeup. You can create a homemade wax, or buy professionally made wax. Homemade wax can be achieved by combining petroleum jelly and flour. Petroleum jelly already acts as a waxy substance, and flour creates a solid, yet an easily maneuverable wax element. Nevertheless, if you keep this wax on the actor up to or around 24 hours, it dries out, cracking and…

detention center. I made contact with PSO Property Clerk, Nancy Mistretta. Nancy advised she was conducting an inventory of Guhner’s property, when she discovered a piece of folded paper in his wallet. She advised inside of the folded paper was a wax like substance she believed was cannabis concentrate hash oil. Nancy provided me with a written statement, which was later attached to this report. A photograph of the wallet was taken and electronically submitted into evidence…
