but while we were changing to our clothes the fire alarm went off! We all had to evacuate the building. This was probably the worst time for this to happen because I was ready to see if we moved on. We went out and ate lunch and then came back to figure out how we…

the kitchen and three other figures who are situated in a room in the background. Compared to the other figures, the server is secluded and, more importantly, distant from the figure who has a faint halo above his head—the Jesus figure—and therefore seems to be the lesser in the spiritual sense. However, despite his or her seclusion and distance, Velázquez places the server figure in the center of the painting. The unusual emphasis given to the server over the Jesus figure and his companions…

which in turn created form and depth. I was able to recreate this effect in my artwork (see Image 2b) with the folds in the pants as well as the shirts worn by the different figures. O’Shields also used small spots on the fish to contribute to the look of the fish’s skin just like I used to shade the cloths on all the figures.

No one will argue that determining the number of significant figures and keeping with the rules of those “sigfigs” throughout an already strenuous calculation can be a pain. Countless points and half-points have been deducted from tests throughout chemistry’s ages from students claiming that significant figures are, ironically, insignificant. But, let’s consider the following scenario. Joey is in his inorganic chemistry lab. The second step to the lab tells him to measure out the mass of Iron he…

An Analysis on Gendered Toys In western society we have a binary system for gender, we teach our kids about gender roles “society’s concept of how men and women are expected to look and how they should behave”, and expectations by the toys marketed toward them and parents buy them (OpenStax College 259).

Few cases following Gertz have clarified what it means to be a limited purpose public figure and the Supreme Court has not established one concrete standard. In Time, Inc. v. Firestone, Mary Alice Firestone filed for divorce from her husband, an heir to the Firestone Tires fortune. Based on a claim by her husband, Time Magazine printed an article reporting that Firestone’s extreme cruelty and adultery caused the divorce. Firestone requested a retraction, but Time refused.

I was followed by Mr. Anderson. He was mad as fire. It took me a minute to figure out what had happened when I did I immediately knew Shela had done it. She had signed my name on a page in a Curse Book that Sheila had “found”. Mr.Anderson wouldn’t calm down enough to let me explain. So for just a second I hated him. For just…
