...In the short story, called “The Nose” by Nikolai Gogol the main character named Ivan was a mean barber. He didn’t care about others. He was a harsh cruel man. Until his nose went missing, things really have not changed but, it was a beginning. One difference between this story and the other story I will be talking about is that This story was sarcastic in a way. The setting was in Petersburg. People hated Ivan because he was a cruel man and when he would give people haircuts he would grab them by the nose, it would hurt the customers but they would not say anything out of fear. Lastly, this man was nothing but focused on himself. Not even give a little of attention to his wife. In the story, named “Death Constant Beyond Love” by Gabriel Garcia,...

...Rhinoplasty or more commonly known as nose surgery is used to reshape the nose and is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the top or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It can also be used to correct a birth defect, injury or help relieve some breathing problems. It can enhance your appearance and self confidence but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. The best candidates for this surgery are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you are physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate. As with all surgeries there is always a possibility of complications including infection, nosebleed, or a reaction to the anesthesia. In preparing for your surgery you will get specific instructions including guidelines on eating, drinking, and smoking. Before the surgery you must quit smoking and may not resume smoking until you are completely healed. Smoking can cause skin death and cause permanent scares. You must fill all your pain killing medications before the surgery. Also, have a nice little recovery area with all your necessities. You need lots of pillows, books magazines, the television remote, videos, favorite CDs, nasal spray, hot water bottles...

...structure allows the function of disposing of bacteria and foreign pathogens as well as dirt so that it can be removed from our body. It’s important in the respiratory system that the structure allows efficient gas exchange. This is done by things such as the alveoli as this only has walls which are one cell thick which allows rapid diffusion rates. The alveoli also has a large service area because it increases the amount of gas exchange they can do. The alveoli also has a very rich blood supply this aids the respiratory function of gas exchange as with all the capillaries running through them and rich blood more oxygen is able to be carried in the red blood cells. The very beginning of the respiratory system even has the specialised function of nose hair to collect unwanted dust and smoke particles...

...otherwise known as a nose job in today's modern world has been around since before the era of the Roman Empire. Dating back to 500 BCE, when a Hindu surgeon in India named Susrata developed the techniques that would be used in almost all future cases of rhinoplasty (1). As described by the American society of plastic surgeons, rhinoplasty involves enhancing or correcting the proportion of the nose to the face, and can also be used to correct breathing problems (2). The methods involved in rhinoplasty include changing the shape of the exterior and interior of the nose by using specially designed surgical instruments. These changes may involve an alteration of the width of the nose bridge or nostrils, along with a changes in the...

...Theodore Theodore Kohler has chestnut brown hair and light greyish-green eyes. His hair is usually parted on the side and slicked back, and he wears glasses. He would be considered a little overweight as far as weight and height. His style is usually casual – preference towards neutral and faded colors. He normally wears a polo shirt and jeans, and he has a cross bracelet around his wrist; even while he sleeps. He speaks in a Southern accent, and a phrase he commonly says when excited, startled, or scared is “Oh, my goodness!” Theodore is always kind, extremely polite, and patient. He does have a tendency to lose track of time; he’s not very punctual, but he’s always willing to help. Whenever he’s worried or anxious, he’ll finger the cross he wears around his wrist, and he always makes certain to cross his legs when he’s seating – displaying his conservatism . He suffers from Celiac disease – Gluten allergy, and whenever he sees injured or homeless animals, he has and always tries to help them. He loves Labradors, gardening, and stamp collection. He dislikes rude people or seeing a homeless or wounded animal Theodore was always a bright; happy child.

...among Filipinos are the most common relatively flat noses. Evolutionary, this has been due to the climate, because people living in colder regions have longer and bigger noses due to the colder air, which so has the opportunity to warm up more before going to the lungs. Because of the hot temperatures close to the equator, this was not necessary for people living in the Philippines. Still, today you find several variations of noses among Filipinos as well as in more western regions. The different kind of noses range between really flat noses, really small noses, really wide, but also not so wide noses and you can even see people with pointy noses already. Still I guess the flat noses with the rather round tips are still the most usual kind. Therefore, a lot of Filipinos still think it is a sign of low class or lower social status if you have a wide flat nose compared to a small and peaked nose. But I also think that this is an assumption which is losing its credibility. One of my German friends here in the Philippines has a white, pointy and relatively bigger nose compared to the Filipinos and a lot of Filipino people tell her, that they like her nose and think her nose is really pretty, so I guess having a pointy nose is some kind of beauty feature here as well. Especially since it is all over the world a sign of beauty among models. I actually like both kind of noses, since I think it depends on the face around it – every nose can be pretty or not pretty in the relation to maybe...

...Body Modification: A Rising Sensation I stared in horror at the fearsome needle taunting me to challenge its glinting tip. I closed my eyes, prayed with every cell in my body for the pain to be minimal, and grimaced as she expertly twirled the needle between her fingers and then slid it through my flesh in one fluid motion. When I took a peek, I gaped cross-eyed at the foreign object jutting out of my nose and smiled. I don’t remember what state of mind I was in when I walked into the parlor, but I left victorious! Throughout history, people have decorated and modified the appearance of their bodies in many different ways. Nostril piercings are thought to have been adopted into the noble castes in the Middle East almost 4000 years ago. Nowadays, nostril piercings have been adopted by Christina Aguilera. In South America, Aztec and Mayan priests pierced their tongues as part of a ritual to communicate with their gods. In several African tribes, the beauty of women was determined by the size of plates that were fitted into their upper lips. In ancient civilizations of Egypt, a “perfect belly button” could elevate someone’s social standing. At that time, only Pharaohs and royal families could pierce their navels. Anyone else was promptly executed. A “perfect belly button”, however, could be a peasant’s ticket to a better life. The ancient Romans pierced their nipples (ouch) to show their strength and endurance. It is also theorized that their nipple jewelry held their...

...Society: Why the issues with Body Piercings? By R. Hackett Jr. 2009 Have you ever walked down the street and seen someone who looks different than you in one way or another and thought, “What was that person thinking?” Imagine that person, at the very same moment, thinking the same thing about you? Often we are quick to judge without taking into consideration each person’s reasons for what they do and how they look. While some say body piercing's look unprofessional and do not belong in today’s society, body piercing is a personal choice that one makes for his or her own individual reason. Some people get body piercing’s for religious reasons, some for right of passage, decoration, fashion and still yet some go out and get body piercing’s as a form of rebellion. Regardless of the reason, we must remember to respect other’s decisions and perhaps stop and take a moment to consider that perhaps the body piercing represents something more and goes further than skin deep. As a woman you may choose to only have your ears pierced one time with only one hole in each ear or multiple times with numerous holes in varying parts of the ear. As a man you may choose to have a hole in each ear, only one of your ears pierced or neither of them at all. Individual’s have chosen many different ways to express themselves with piercing’s in the ear. In today’s society parents are even faced with having to decide if they are going to get their newborn baby’s ears pierced. (Sanders...

...1 ABSTRACT During diving, marine mammals must rely on the efficient utilization of a limited oxygen reserve sequestered in the lungs, blood and muscles. To determine the effects of exercise and apnea on the use of these reserves, the marine biologists examined the physiological responses of adult bottlenose dolphins (Tursiopstruncatus) trained to breath-hold on the water surface or to dive to submerged targets at depths between 60 and 210 meters. Changes in blood lactate levels, in partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide and in heart rate were assessed while the dolphins performed sedentary breath-holds. The effects of exercise on breath-hold capacity were examined by measuring heart rate and post-dive respiration rate and blood lactate concentration for dolphins diving in some part of Pacific Ocean within the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Ascent and descent rates, stroke frequency and swimming patterns were monitored during the dives. The results showed that lactate concentration was at rest and increased non-linearly with the duration of the sedentary breath-hold or dive. Lactate concentration was consistently higher for the diving animals’ at all comparable periods of apnea. Breakpoints in plots of lactate concentration and blood gas levels against breath-hold duration for sedentary breath-holding dolphins occurred between 200 and 240 seconds. In comparison, the calculated aerobic dive limit for adult dolphins was 268 seconds. Descent and ascent rates ranged...
