...interpreting sensations begins in the sense organs themselves and continues into the brain. Even previous experience can shape what you sense, causing you not to notice. Sensory Systems The senses gather information about the world by detecting various forms of energy, such as sound, light, heat, and physical pressure. For example, the eyes detect light energy, the ears detect the of sound , and the skin detects the energy of heat and pressure. Humans depend primarily on vision, hearing, and the skin senses to gain information about the world: they depend less than other animals on smell and taste. There are also senses that provide information to the brain from the rest of the body. All of these senses must detect stimuli, encode them into neural activity, and transfer this coded information to the brain. Steps in Sensation At each step, sensory information is processed in some way: the information that arrives at one point in the system is not the same as to the information that goes to the next step. In some sensory systems, the first step in sensation involves accessory structures, which modify the stimulus. The lens of the eye is an accessory structure that changes incoming light by focusing it; the outer part of the ear...

...Since I was 6 years old I have loved going to Bonefish Grill. On my 6th birthday, there was a horrible snow storm that canceled my family's reservation to a faraway restaurant. We had to stay local and had a few options. When we were driving we saw Bonefish, and decided to try it out. At first, I was sad because we didn't get to go to the restaurant I wanted to, but I was soon filled with joy when I discovered how great the service, food, and interior design was in Bonefish. I even got a chance to color on the table cloths! After eating at your restaurant not only had my birthday become extra special, but I also knew that my family and I had found a special place to eat and enjoy each other's company. Ever since that day, I have loved coming...

My parents have been members of the Safeway select program, which involved a points system which incorporated money spent with gallons of gas, ever since we had moved to the city of Spokane. I had known about Costco and Trader Joe’s but Safeway was the first choice, always. Mostly in part because of the gas rewards. Coming to Omaha I was taken aback by the fact that Safeway was unknown to the people of the Midwest. I found myself catching rides to Target to pick up the essentials and the occasional pack of Oreos. This came as a complete shock because at home places such as Target and...

...what we ought to do in regards to nonhuman beings, or generally speaking, animals and our environment. Speciesism is defined as “involving the assignment of different values, rights, or special consideration to individuals solely on the basis of their species membership”. Simply put, we humans consider ourselves while discounting the effects of our actions on the nonhumans. When a new roadway is to be built that may directly interfere with Elk habitat, or a dam that is to be built where salmon flood the river during spawning season, we do a cost benefit analysis. But, when we do the analysis, we rarely figure in the impact on the surrounding wildlife and only figure the benefits to human beings. A new roadway will help us travel to work faster, but interferes with the surrounding wildlife that lives in these areas. And a new dam will help power hundreds of new homes, while decimating the already low salmon numbers. We humans calculate our benefit, while discounting the effects of our actions on nonhumans and the environment. We can use the example of the past racist white slave owners of the South. These slave owners only were concerned with benefiting themselves and those of their white race, while never considering the interests of their black slaves whom lived in destitute, forced to work long hard hours to benefit only the racist white slave owner with free labor and cleanly harvested fields. Why is it that we hold a species such as dogs below ourselves? Because we are more...

...Bobbi Brown stands at the front of her studio, glossy dark hair tied back, and three makeup brushes tucked into the front pocket of her slim-fitting, dark denim jeans. A giant board leans against the exposed brickwork of the wall behind her. The board is a riot of pink - raspberry to be precise - which Brown informs us will be the colour of summer 2008. Over the next few days the assembled makeup artists, best described as Brown's elite corps, will spend hours discussing cosmetics in painstaking detail. They will devote half a day to consideration of how to achieve the perfect concealer, longer than you would ever have thought possible debating the merits of lengthening versus thickening mascara and hours creating the smoky eye look. There won't be any blood, but there will be sweat and tears. Welcome to beauty boot camp. Bobbi Brown's makeup range occupies a very specific place in the fashion world. Brown's USP is "real beauty" for "real women". The range, like Brown herself, is both stylish and sensible. You won't find outrageous colours or masses of glitter; nor will you wonder what the hell you were thinking after a visit to one of her counters. Twice a year Brown picks her best makeup artists from across the globe and summons them to camp. There they learn directly from Brown what the key looks will be for the coming season. They also go right back to basics, hence the need to spend two hours on concealer. And to make things even more competitive, those who perform...

Santana held the sheets even tighter when the light irritating sound continuously blared through her ears. She slightly adjusted her vision – it’s barely 5 in the morning and they needed to be ready at exact 6 she propped her elbow carefully tapping the alarm clock off, careful not to prod the blonde haired girl cuddled beside her before slowly returning to her usual position. Santana let a tight lip smile play along her plump lips as she stare at the blonde beside her, blonde locks sprawled all over the pillow, pale hands gripping the warm sheets, and those little reflexes she does every time the Latina’s breath hit her cheeks. Santana slowly brought her hand by Brittany’s forehead to swat some hair that lingers along her brows making the taller girl snuggle even more and causing Santana giggle a little.

...The Truth About Philippine Mangoes 04/12/2011 by Vanjo Merano What is the first thing that comes in your mind when you hear the word “Mango”? If you will ask me that question, the first thing that I think of is the Philippines. In my opinion, I can say, Without any doubt, that the best mangoes that the world has ever tasted came from the Philippines. I know people from other mango producing countries will question my statement. However, I am confident to say that there is no other mango out there that can beat Philippine mangoes in terms of sweetness, sourness, size, and weight. I tried almost all the imported mango varieties here in the US — including local mangoes. They all taste different from the original Philippine Mango. There are even varieties here that says “Manila Mangoes” in the sticker, but the taste does not say so. There are many mango varieties in the Philippines. Champagne mango or Carabao mango is probably the most famous in terms of taste. This mango variety is the sweetest mango that I ever tasted. It is also the mango variety that the Philippines export to other countries. There are different strains (breed) produced from Carabao mango — one of which is called Sweet Elena. If I am not mistaken, this breed originated somewhere in Zambales. Sweet Elena mango is the sweetest that I ever had. It is probably the sweetest mango in the world. There are also the well loved Cebu and Guimaras mangoes which are of world class quality. Filipinos enjoy eating mango...
