One project that distinguished me in class was the Cell Organelle Video. My partner and I were one of the few groups that made a music video. We effectively demonstrated the function of our assigned organelle, the ribosome. At first, my partner was very hesitant to complete the project in the form of a music video, but I encouraged him to try something that was out-of-the-box. I was committed to making a music video, and we thoroughly explained the role of a ribosome in transcription and making proteins

Le prime fonti orali sulla nascita del jazz a New Orleans risalgono ai primi anni del XX secolo mentre le prime fonti scritte al decennio successivo. Il jazz fu creato dagli africani deportati negli Stati Uniti e

Both the video of “Cremation ashes dispersed in Fireworks memorial” and the “Neptune Memorial Reef - Neptune Society” are interesting.

"You can't stay here anymore, I'm sorry Crowny" the white bearded man said. Those were the last words the elf dressed in green and red heard. Crowny was kicked out of the Arctic Heaven. The elf's head starts to spin round and round; as he tries to keep his brain focused on the road. His eye starts moving slowly, up and down, then, right to left. His feet, they keep losing track. Crowny's little body starts trembling, nothing but shudder. He takes a deep look trying to see in front of him, but all

decided to do my paper on Ray Charles because he is a staple in music history. He was always a very influential person in music and revolutionized music by mixing the sound of gospel with blues. Personally, my favorite song to listen to preformed by Ray Charles is “Hit the Road Jack”, which is a part of the blues genre written by Percy Mayfield.
