something known. Now I am able to look back and better understand the falling of many artists today. Although these are fiction short stories set to entertain, it is an eye opener of the mental health issues of people like Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Amy Winehouse, just to name a few.

To determine the differences in the relative expression profiles, we performed univariate analyses using the Mann Whitney-U test. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assays confirmed this finding. As shown in Figure 2, the median values of hs-miR-196a2 for the pre- and post-menopausal…

Slavery brought about many issues including the Missouri Compromise, the Fugitive Slave Law, and the wedge between the North and South leading to the Civil War. A new social…

The American Civil War was a devastating division of the United States of America that lasted for three lengthy, gory years. More than likely, when someone contemplates the foundations of the American Civil War they automatically think slavery. Slavery in America began in the early 17th Century. The majority of slaves…

He was on his way to Brazil to hunt jaguars, and thought that it was absurd of his friend Whitney to consider the jaguar’s feelings. Welcoming to a good challenge, he calmly accepted his fate of being shipwrecked and…
