It was around midnight when I heard a nearby crash. I went with my brother, Malcolm (who took forever to get up) to investigate. We saw a pod, covered with dirt tiles (camouflage?) and mud, with a suspicious looking door. The door releases air around it and slides upwards, revealing a man. He was wearing a slightly (dried) bloody grey shirt and a ragged beige jacket, with black pants and shoes. He slowly walks out of the pod, catching his breath while having a hard time standing up, leaning on the

Fingers tapped against the keyboard of the laptop to the beat of “Eternal Youth” by RUDE as Lilibeth tilted her head. Amber eyes drilling holes at the blank screen in front of her as Lilibeth attempted to create an attention grabber for her college essay. With a sigh, Lilibeth rubbed at her eyes while letting her head fall backwards. She felt irritation fill her at the fact that she had stared at a blank screen for over thirty minutes yet couldn’t think of a starting sentence for her paper. Clicking

Music is constantly changing everyday, week, and year. Music not only changes as you travel around the world, but within specific cultures. The conventions change as the times and cultures change. Music of the western cultures used to experience style transformations within the century, but current music can change every couple of years similar to fashion styles. Similar to fashion styles, musical styles return well after they were introduced and phased out. When considering the links between a classical

Do Grammer Madder? I was so excited, I could scream! There I was standing in the Respiratory Therapy Department ready to start my first “real” job. To begin my rounds, I opened my first patients’ chart, expecting to be impressed with a very sophisticated, detailed, and organized explanation of treatment and patient status. Contrary to my expectations, I found a mess of misspellings, grammatical errors and total disorder in the documentation. Chart after chart I found myself faced with the same

provides is that new born infants are just naturally able to detect and respond to musical patterns. The child and mother become musical within communication by developing similar tempos, intensity, rhythm, and a sense of shape and contour of their sound (274). The entire mother-infant communication process is the building block of the infant’s communication later in life. Pavlicevic explains thoroughly how music has a role in communication and how music is naturally embedded within communication.

Birdsong has been a model for vocal development in humans for years. The plastic period in bird song, periods of unstable adult songs, corresponds to the precanonical vocal development. One explanation of speech development is the maturation of motor abilities. The development is limited by maturation but impelled by imitation (Goldstein et al., 2003). However, this perspective is defined by internal cues. The infant is apathetic in the development process. Another perspective is social influence

1. The middle ear contains three tiny bones known as the ossicles: malleus, incus, and stapes, which transfer the vibrations of the eardrums into waves in the fluid and membranes of the inner ear. They directly convert the sound energy from the ear drum to the oval window of the cochlea by use of vibration of amplified pressure waves. The ear drum merges to the malleus which is connected to the incus, which connects to the stapes. The Stapes has a footplate that introduces pressure waves into the

represents a basic sine wave. The vertical axis is the volume, or air pressure, or strength, or energy, or amplitude etc. For example this is an ocean wave, and then the vertical axis may be the wave height. If this is a sound wave in the air, then it is the air pressure. If it is a sound wave in a wire, then it is the voltage. The horizontal axis often represents the time or distance that the wave traverses in. waves generally have a period, which can be viewed as a time or distance of when the wave

What To Expect At A Kidney Ultrasound An Overview A kidney ultrasound is a non-invasive way to take images of your right and left kidneys. Unlike an x-ray, ultrasound technology doesn’t use radiation. Instead, it uses sounds waves that are undetectable by the human ears. The sound waves echo off the organs and create images, which allows your healthcare provider to see the size, shape, location, and, in some instances, the blood flow to your kidneys. Because kidney ultrasounds don’t emit radiation
