...water or alcohol. The liquid is allowed to vaporize in the chamber. This vapor forms a mist in the sealed chamber. Any cosmic particle, such as a alpha or beta particle, ionizes the mist and forms a ionized nuclei. This nuclei form causes the mist to condense around it and form a cloud. For our chambers we used donated peanut butter jars that were cleaned out. These jars had felt stickers placed along the inside of the jar at the bottom and also on the top ¼ of the jars. These jars did not have the standard plastic lid. Those the lids were replaced with mason jar lids. The tops of the mason jars were also covered with felt as well. We also had Styrofoam molds shaped to fit the top of the peanut mason jars. Next Dr. He, our professor and supervisor, got dry ice and crushed it. We had a few sheets of tin foil. The last thing we got was either 100% or 200% alcohol. We began making our cloud chambers by cleaning out the mason jars and drying the insides. Afterwards Dr. He filled the jars with the alcohol to a level he felt would be necessary to make the chambers with. We gyrated the jars and allowed the felt insides to become saturated with the alcohol. Upon completed the saturation of the felt, we placed the foil over the lids and molded it to fit over the cover and top...

...Dear Bob. Long time no see! Thank you so much for the letter, I was really happy when I received it! A lot of things have happened since you moved out of Durham. You know my father was all into boxing and he hoped that I will become at great boxer one day! But I didn’t want to box and I really didn’t have any talent for it! I had my thoughts in a completely different place. I loved music and of course I had that from my mother’s side! A little part of the boxing gym was used by a ballet class, and here I had my chance to learn ballet. So I was learning ballet secretly without my father knowing it! But pretty soon he found out! He wasn’t happy, but what could I do? This was my passion. My father was striking, and all the other miners were doing the same. They didn’t want to work anymore down in the black, and cold mines, they wanted more pay for the hard work they did! My brother Tony was doing some bad things when he saw my father sitting in the bus with the other striking miners! And I actually missed a very important audition for the Royal Ballet School because of Tony’s act! So my ballet teacher took all the way home to my house just to tell my father about the bad influence he got on me and my ballet, and she persuaded my father to go to the next audition in the Royal apartments. Two months later I got a letter back from them, where they told me that they wanted me on the Royal Ballet School. So I moved to London when I was only 11 years old! Fourteen years later...

...Mrs. Wilkinson’s letter to the panel Elite Dancing Panel The Royal Ballet School 46 Floral St London WC2E 9DA Great Britain Hello My name is Mrs. Wilkinson, and I’m a ballet teacher at a community hall in Everington, County Durham. I don’t know if you have ever visited us up here on the north, but Durham is a lovely place – even with its financial struggles. Although a large portion of the land is dedicated to agriculture and production of dairy products, the current strike has hit us exceedingly hard. A lot of people here are unemployed, and relies entirely of soup kitchens and food parcels – just like in a lot of other places here in England, that are also dependent of the coalmines. As you probably know, there have been several clashes between the police and rioters. Take the Battle of Oregave as an example; with more than 5000 police officers and just as many civilians partaking, it is absurd. No man should ever have to fight for a pair that is barely reasonable. Anyhow, back to the ballet! I am not writing to you regarding the strike. The community hall offers both ballet and boxing – some would say that one is for girls and then boys. I’ve had the pleasure of encountering an exceptionally talented male ballet dancer recently - the first male one here in Everington. His name is Billy Elliott, and he lives with his brother, mom, dad and grandmother in a small terraced house. Sadly, his mother died two years ago. His brother, Tony, and his father, Jackie, are both...

...A Teacher's Life Lessons Using A Jar And Some Golf Balls This is a very important life lesson that a philosophy teacher taught his students. The teacher cleared off his desk and placed on top of it a few items. One of the items was an empty mason jar. He proceeded to fill up the jar with golf balls until he could fit no more. He looked at the classroom and asked his students if they agree that the jar is full. Every student agreed that the jar was indeed full. The teacher then picked up a box of small pebbles and poured them into the jar with the golf balls. The pebbles filled all of the openings in between the golf balls. He asked the students if the jar was full. Once again, they agreed. Now the teacher picked up a bag of sand and poured it into the mason jar. The sand filled in all of the empty space left between the golf balls and pebbles. He asked the class again if the jar was full. The students agreed it was technically full. Finally, the teacher pulled out two beers from under his desk and poured both of them into the jar filling the empty space between the sand. Now the students began to laugh wondering how far this was going. The teacher waited until the laughter stopped. "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life," he started. "The golf balls represent the important things. Your family, children, health, friends, and passions. If everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles represent the other...

...Audra Dohrman 12-5 AP English- Jude the Obscure Essay 3/30/15 In the passage, the author uses literary devices such as symbolism, diction, and choice of detail to reveal the nature and predicament of both Jude and Sue. Jude and Sue are in love but find themselves in a situation where they can’t be together because of Jude’s religious moral standards. Through the rabbit and the trap, depressing words such as “lonely” and “disheartened”, and details of their situation and backgrounds, the author is able to convey how the characters’ love for each other is forbidden and trapped by the accepted societal standards of the time. The symbolism presented with the rabbit caught in the trap and the trap itself is most important to reveal the nature of Jude and Sue’s predicament. Jude is awake and thinking about how Sue is “equally lonely and disheartened” in her house when he hears the cry of the rabbit caught in the trap. The rabbit represents Jude and Sue’s love for each other and their desire to be together. Caught in the trap, which represents society and its accepted standards of the time, the rabbit is stuck and cannot escape no matter how hard it struggles. When the author says “…but would remain bearing its torture to the morrow”, it really means Jude and Sue would shoulder the burden of not being able to be together. Jude strikes the rabbit which kills it, representing him ending both of their sufferings by “killing” the relationship between the two of them. When it says...

...Dianna L. Pittman Jones International University EDU630 Assignment 5.1 "Task analysis for instructional design is a process of analyzing and articulating the kind of learning that you expect the learners to know how to perform". (George Mason University) Although task analysis has been approached from several perspectives, there is one constant among them. Task analysis, at a minimum, assists the instructor or designer to understand the content to be taught. According to George Mason University, (n.d.) instructional designers perform task analysis in order to: * determine the instructional goals and objectives; * define and describe in detail the tasks and sub-tasks that the student will perform; * specify the knowledge type (declarative, structural, and procedural knowledge) that characterize a job or task; * select learning outcomes that are appropriate for instructional development; * prioritize and sequence tasks; * determine instructional activities and strategies that foster learning; * select appropriate media and learning environments; * construct performance assessments and evaluation. Below is a goal analysis I developed to assist learners in understanding the business planning process for a beauty business. Goal: At the end of six weeks, learners will know the main components of a business plan and through the use of business planning software, will develop a business plan that will be used to measure comprehension and be...

...Flora Rheta Schreiber’s novel Sybil weaves the true tale of a remarkable young woman possessed by severe multiple personality disorder. Sybil’s body is home to sixteen personalities, all with different personas, speech patterns, behavior tendencies, language abilities, and even different genders. As a child, Sybil began to distance herself from the abuse she suffered from her mother Hattie, a suspected paranoid schizophrenic, thus creating each personality to escape her reality. Throughout her entire life Sybil struggled with “losing time” and often woke up with no knowledge of what she had been doing for days, weeks, months, and at times even years. Upon bringing her own mother to a physician, Sybil is referred to see a psychologist after she describes her “loss of time” to Dr. Hall. On August 10, 1945 at 2 PM Sybil first meets Dr. Wilbur. Despite Sybil knowing that she needs help with her nervousness and loss of time, she often fears that she reveals too much to her psychologist and often disguises her problem before Dr. Wilbur can provide substantial help. Dr. Wilbur suggests Sybil be psychoanalyzed at a local hospital, the very thing that Sybil’s parents fear, suspecting that the doctor will be the devil himself. However, Sybil was determined to receive proper care despite what her mother, father, and pastor advised. Yet on a scheduled appointment day in October, Sybil comes down with a severe fever causing Hattie to contact Dr. Wilbur’s office to cancel Sybil’s appointment...

...April 8, 2009 Date: April 8, 2009 To: John Smith From: GMU Student Subject: Utilizing Field House Training Facility for Athletes Only A staple of NCAA Division-One Athletics at universities across the country are private athletic training facilities. These facilities are dedicated and reserved for athletes only because athletes need an intense, focus driven environment, where they can train without distraction. George Mason University currently has no reserved athletic training facility. The Field House, where athletes train, is currently shared with the student population. If instead, the University used the Field House specifically for athletes, athletics as a whole and ultimately the University would benefit. Benefits of an Athlete Only Training Facility At NCAA Division-One institutions, athletic training facilities are tailored to provide an environment that induces and mandates athletes to improve physically. At the University of New Mexico, a school with a very strong athletic history, the head strength and conditioning coach, Mark Paulsen, says that weight training is directly correlated with performance. When athletes perform, a university receives public recognition and ultimately capital, something every college wants and needs. He also feels that private training facilities bring out the potential in athletes that regular weight rooms do not. These public gyms only limit and distract athletes. In sharing the weight room, problems have...

...Ian Canty Music 100 Christensen 17 February 2015 Go for the Game Stay for the Band Earlier this week I had the privilege of attending yet another George Mason University men’s basketball game. Unfortunately, the Patriots lost; however, my excursion was not a failure because I had the pleasure of being immersed in the George Mason University Pep Band’s performance. Dubbed ‘Green Machine’ the ensemble led by director Doctor Michael Nickens who referred to as simply Doc Nix. The band was ranked as the top college pep band in the nation and after my experience with the bank I can clearly understand the justification behind this lofty honor. I have the privilege or living with the bassist for Green Machine who brought me along for the second half of the basketball game so I could fully experience the pep bands culture from inside the Green Machine. Not only is the musical abilities of the performers incredible but their dedication to excellence and school spirit is also beyond reproach. While the game had its ups and downs, Green Machine stayed positive and cheered a variety of cheers in support of George Mason. While their attitude might be resented by visiting teams and fans, it certainly adds to the atmosphere that is a George Mason University basketball game. On a musical note, the bands talent is humbling. The band excels in all areas from the more obvious aspects of tempo and volume to the most technical aspects of articulation and balance. What I appreciate most...
