We're usually happy and like to play games in the backyard while the smiths are gone but, not today. Today the death machine comes out or as the Smiths call it a lawnmower. Just last week it nearly took of lily by the lilies arm. For months we have been trying to find a way to protect ourselves but we just end up yelling at each other. “Grrrrr”…

Measles and Krippin virus stem from the same family but are radically different. Both viruses have a (-)ssRNA genome, as KV is developed from MV. Due to the common origin, there are similarities, however, one of which being developing a cancer treatment for each virus. In KV, the measles virus was genetically modified to target and kill cancer cells. As Alice Krippin states, in 10,009 clinical trials, there were 10,009 cancer-free patients (Lawrence).

They are extremely proud that this is the first year they will have a…

Is it winning a championship title game? There is no one true answer that could possibly answer this ideal question. However, in the 2006 biographical drama film, The Pursuit of Happyness directed by Gabriele Muccino, happiness is practically non-existent for the case of salesman, Chris Gardner (played by Oscar nominated…

With this being said, I hope to learn about the history, sounds,…
