...there are other people, like Hazel in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, who are scared to become close to people because they don’t want to hurt them. In this book a teenage girl named Hazel has cancer, she goes to a Support Group for kids with cancer and meets a boy named Augustus Waters. Their relationship starts off by just staring at each other, “Look, let me just say it: He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward, and at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy... well.”(41) We bet most of the teenagers you know don't have cancer, right? We can thank our lucky stars for that, but for Hazel, Augustus, and Isaac in The Fault in Our Stars, that means a whole lot of isolation. Sure, Hazel hangs out with her friend Kaitlyn, and Isaac starts off the book with a lovey dovey girlfriend, but when the going gets tough, their illnesses separate them from most other people. Add that to their physical limitations, and they find themselves in a world that is oftentimes very, very lonely. “That was the worst part about having cancer, sometimes: The physical evidence of disease separates you from other people.”(58) Not only do people leave when there are some rough patches, but when Hazel goes out in public people stare. When she gets on the airplane to go visit her favorite author everyone on the plane gawks at her and that’s another reason why they don’t want to become close with people; they think they’re weird because they are physically different...

...Trace fossils include burrows, footprints, coprolite, and even animal poop. Permineralization is when liquid minerals are filled into open space in the bones. Therefore fossils are formed through permineralization when bones are turned into some sort of crystal. By the bone material being replaced by different minerals contained in the liquid of the sediments that buried it. This can also be done with shells, exoskeletons, and wood. 2) The slow movement of Earth’s plates can push and pull on the rock in the crust. These forces can crack the rock making a fault. A fault is a crack in the crust where slabs of rock can slip past one another. the largest faults are at the boundaries of the plates. Sometime part of one plate gets caught on the rough edge of another. Pressure builds and the plates can break, which causes an Earthquake to begin.Earthquakes happen in Japan. 3) Scientist measure Earthquakes by using a magnitude scale. A magnitude scale measures the amount of energy that comes from an earthquake. Earthquakes with a low magnitude release little energy and do little damage. Earthquakes can’t be predicted to any degree, it’s been tested several times, and it just never worked. 5) A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. Eruptions occur from pressure being built up. Volcanoes are formed when hardened lava turns into solid rock, built up over time the rock forms into a mountain. Sometimes,...

...look at the ocean closely, pay every attention to it, you might never find its specialness like the way I do. When I sit in this very spot, I can see the beautiful sunrise and enjoy the romantic moon light under the sky when it takes place. Along in the distance not too far from here, a few people had said they could see a mysterious island under the moon light. Most people believe it was just an illusion, created by the effect of the moon light reflected off the water surface. They say if you come here usually, you can tell the amazing colors of the surface change throughout the year when you look at the water. From a nature deep blue in the winter to a pale green in the summer, the amazing view is one of the memories that will stay with me from now until I die. As the tide was rising up, the mist will be twinkling down my toes and the smell of it will take over me, bring me to a stage of mind where I can only hear the sound of the ocean waves surrounding me. This is the scent of the earth being born again. The water is the one thing that centers me to earth. It has a grounding aspect that is so powerful, it can make even the numbness of life go away and a sense of power return to my soul. As the tide rolls in, the mist will fill the air and wash me clean for the day. Then I can sit back, soak myself in the sun, and look to the horizon to see the end of the day when everything’s ready to rest. As Luna rises, leaving a trail of glimmer shining across the top of every wave from...

...A Functional Approach: Vitamins and Minerals Understanding Nutrition, 11e Prepared by Michele Grodner, EdD, CHEs NUTRITION STUDENTS: IGNORE THE CHAPTER REFERENCE, THIS INFORMATION IS TAKEN FROM A DIFFERENT BOOK THAN “NUTRITION AND YOU”. BONE HEALTH Bone is active living tissue. Blood travels in capillaries through the bone, bringing nutrients to the cells that maintain the bone structure while carrying away waste materials from those cells. It picks up and deposits minerals as instructed by hormones and vitamin D. Several vitamins and minerals are essential to the growth and maintenance of healthy bones. Vitamin D directs the mineralization of bones, while vitamins K and A participate in bone protein synthesis. There would be no bone at all without deposits from the major minerals calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium that give the soft protein bone structure its density and strength. The trace mineral fluoride hardens and stabilizes the bone to maintain bone integrity. |Vitamin* |Function |Food Source |Deficiency Effect |Toxicity Effect |Chapter/Page Reference | |Vitamin K (fat-soluble) |Synthesis of proteins for bone |Green leafy vegetables, |Poor skeletal mineralization, |Interference with anticlotting |Chapter 11, pp. 383-85, 386 | | |mineralization and |cabbage-type vegetables, milk, |hemorrhage...

...cashier, line worker (I made sandwiches), and dishwasher. For some odd reason though, I found dishwashing therapeutic in an odd sort of way. There is a certain rhythm that I followed whenever I worked as a dishwasher. It was the same rhythm, no matter how tired, or bored I was. This helped to make the shifts go by faster, and gave me more time to think about my life. I would listen to my classical music in the back of the house and just think. The dishwasher, with its rhythmic cycles, swirling water and dish detergent around the dishes, cleansing them of grime, just as it did my thoughts. I, unfortunately, have clinical depression and anxiety. I may not seem like it on the outside, but I have a lot going on in this big head of mine. Self-demoting thoughts like, “you’re not good enough”, “you will never make it”, and “why do you even try? Just stay as a dishwasher” would swallow my mind in a wave of dark feelings during the day. Walking through the day, let alone the week, was rough. I would arrive at work feeling as if I wouldn’t even make it through my shift. I would walk to the back drudgingly, wanting to just fall on my face. Alas, I would put on my apron, and walk to my dishwasher. Radio, fork antenna and all, set to 101.1 WRR, I would get to work. Around the time I was working at Panera, my home life was very unsteady. A lot of the time, I would look forward to those days and nights that I had work. Not because I hate my parents like the stereotypical teenager, but because...

...Typhoon Megi (Earth Science Make it Relevant) Typhoons are mature tropical cyclones that are created in the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean. Now, a tropical cyclone is characterized as numerous thunderstorms that contain heavy rain showers and high-speed winds. They develop over large, warm bodies of water and loose their strength when moving overland due to friction from the structures on the surface. Also, the warm water gives the typhoon the energy it needs to be powerful and without the water its energy decreases. Typhoon Megi (Korean for, “catfish”) was a powerful tropical rainstorm that devastated the west Pacific region. Megi was a high-set, extremely cold (220 Kelvin/-63 degrees Fahrenheit) typhoon that made a huge impact on various regions (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] 2010). Hurricanes are considered the greatest storms on Earth, and believe it or not, a hurricane is also a typhoon and a cyclone. Hurricane is derived from Huracan, referring to a Carib god of evil. Usually hurricanes form between latitudes of five and twenty degrees over tropical oceans, except the South Atlantic and eastern South Pacific. The North Pacific has the greatest amount of storms. In the western Pacific, hurricanes are called “typhoons,” and in the Indian Ocean they are referred to as “cyclones.” A hurricane has wind speeds of seventy four miles per hour and a round circulatory motion. Mature hurricanes average three hundred and seventy five miles...

...Final: My thinking about living with an open and critical mind has definitely both been challenged and changed through this experience. During this experience I gave up drinking soda and only replaced it with water. I took a personality test and learned a lot about why I am the way that I am. Also, I started journaling for my emotional health and well being. I was challenged because I thought that overall I had a pretty open mind and was relatively good at thinking through things critically. Through my personality test I was seen to be someone to avoid conflict, which naturally mean that I am not great at looking at things critically. I am very good at taking things at face value and that I believe is one of my weaknesses when it comes to critical thinking. Through this experience though I have identified that weakness and been able to learn and understand different ways in which to think through something critically and it has given me better insight into many of my everyday encounters. I personally am addicted to soda, this is my caffeine intake and so I suppose it is the caffeine that I am addicted to. In order to incorporate the ILP into my everyday starting with body, I chose to remove soda from my diet and replace it with water. At first it was a struggle. I believed that I would just be able to stop and have no issues and that I would feel better for doing so. I was very wrong. I had to wean off of it slowly. When I decided to quit drinking it cold turkey I would...

...The Water-Soluble Vitamins: B Vitamins and Vitamin C I. The Vitamins—An Overview Vitamins differ from carbohydrate, fat and protein in structure, function and food contents. Vitamins are similar to the energy-yielding nutrients in that they are vital to life, organic and available from foods. Both deficiencies and excesses of the vitamins can affect health. A. Bioavailability is the rate and extent that a nutrient is absorbed and used. B. Precursors, also known as provitamins, are consumed in an inactive form and become active vitamins in the body. C. The organic nature of vitamins means they can be destroyed by exposure to light, oxidation, cooking, and storage. There are methods used to minimize nutrient losses. 1. Refrigerate fruits and vegetables. 2. Store cut fruits and vegetables in airtight wrappers or closed containers and refrigerate. 3. Clean fruits and vegetables before they are cut. 4. Use a microwave, steam, or simmer in small amounts of water. Save cooking water for other uses. Avoid high temperatures and long cooking times. D. Solubility and storage 1. Water-soluble vitamins (B vitamins and vitamin C) are absorbed directly into the blood and travel freely. a. Circulate freely b. Excreted in urine C. Required in more frequent intakes 2.
