The immediate attraction to Noor’s 1953 Beetle is perhaps not the color or the spherical shape, but the fact that it is made from an everyday object, a Continue reading...

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is the form sickle cell disease (SCD) that is most widely known. In this condition, the body makes red blood cells that are sickle-shaped.

On the other hand, balsa wood gliders are more complex to build, but offer the most exciting form of fun for students who are eager to learn about aerodynamics. (Pryor, 2004).
The hang-gliders are piloted aircraft consisting of cloth wings and a structure that is not complex. Several hang-gliders resemble kites Continue reading...

After reading Lao Tzu’s “Living as Water” and Martin Luther King’s text dubbed “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”, one can easily discern some apparent similarities between the ideologies of the authors. Said similarities originate from the fact that the works seek to aid in social cohesiveness in their respective societies, with Tzu encouraging certain behavior and King defending his conduct in Birmingham. On that note, King aims to plead the plight of the African American race at the hands of their oppressive white counterparts and encourages his fellow blacks to fight for their rights. On the contrary, Continue reading...

Thus, first what we need is to find a base for a broom. An old brush is a perfect choice for this purpose. The base can be plastic or wooden.

I have always been fascinated in shapes. When I was a child, I remembered that the most exciting part of a math subject was to count objects in different shapes: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, and oblong. Of course, these shapes would be bland without the colors: red, green, blue, yellow, and orange. I seemed to be magnetized to play toys with a circular shape: balls, frisbees, wheels of cars and bikes, and rainbow colored spiral toys. In my young age, I tried to rationalize my captivation for circles. I realized that somehow, life’s accomplishments are actually more effectively Continue reading...

Renowned scholar and cultural critic George Lipsitz famously opined: “Those of us who are ‘white’ can only become part of the solution if we recognize the degree to which we are already part of the problem—not because of our race but because of our possessive investment in it" (Lipsitz, 2006, p. 22). Lipsitz unequivocally believed that in order for society to progress into an entity characterized by liberty and equality, it must escape from this hegemonic paradigm Lipsitz refers to as “the possessive investment in whiteness” (p. 1). This construction of whiteness is quite unclear and often does Continue reading...

The tale of the Flood is an oft-repeated one in many old myths and religious stories – the story of God (or gods, in the case of Gilgamesh) wiping out all of humanity with a great flood in order to start again.

When we look around us, we see what we know, what we understand. However, there may be more than what is normally understood as “real” in our everyday lives. In looking at the definition of the fantastic and fantasy, it is important to also define what is and is not possible. In doing so, the importance of imagination to individuals and society as a whole can be examined. This, in turn, will hopefully give some idea of where this can lead society and give a glimpse of what the world would be despite it.
The definition of fantasy is Continue reading...

My theoretical orientation is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The purpose of CBT is to solve problems by changing the patient’s problematic behavior and thinking patterns. Based on my professional experience, I usually prefer CBT to other forms of therapy for two reasons. First, the therapist works with the patient to set goals, which are tangible and measurable because any progress can be observed in the patient’s behavioral changes. Although approaches like psychodynamics are effective for addressing unconscious emotions and motivations, I prefer to work by defining desired outcomes and dividing goals into milestones and measure progressive improvements.

Those driving faster than us are often labeled as crazed lunatics while those who are driving slower than us often are encouraged to, “find the gas pedal,” and get off the road.

Neisseria meningitides has a round shape, therefore it’s called coccus, which under microscope has kidney bean shape, and due to the fact that most of the time it joins to form pairs, it’s called Diplococcus.

In any undertaking, it is better for one to implement reflective measures so as to understand their progress. In various professions, practice analysis performs this role perfectly, ensuring that professions have an understanding of their progress. Over the past, social workers have employed this mechanism effectively (Bishop & Holland 1975). This paper uses Gibbs’ reflective cycle to reflect on the development of the values, skills and knowledge. In essence, this reflection will be based on how the wider reading has shaped my learning, understanding and development by working in a children’s home.

The word "personality" has been fetched from Latin word "persona"; it signifies the mask worn by an actor while performing his/her part. Succinctly, personality reflects a person's behavioral style and is usually reflected by an external appearance. External appearance of a person encompasses his/her dressing style, actions, speech, expressions, and habits. Earlier, it was believed that a person with good external endowments will possess a good personality and vice versa. However, the concept of personality has assumed internal proportions with time and now, it is considered more an inclusive concept, i.e., carrying both external and internal dimensions.
