Traveling Nightmare

...We landed in Chicago and played around in the airport for a few hours. We boarded our second plane, which was a crop duster and scared Becky. We land at Indianapolis International Airport safe and sound. We hail down a taxi to take us to pick up the U-Haul in Meridian Hills, IN. The taxi ride was fun for a few minutes, till I realized the taxi driver was going the wrong way! The taxi driver was more concerned about asking us question about President George W. Bush than where he was going. For some crazy reason he thought everyone from Texas is or was related to the President. We arrive at the U-Haul location, where the taxi driver over charged us by $75.

The excess iron can poison these organs, leading to life-threatening conditions such as cancer, heart arrhythmias and cirrhosis. There are two types of hemochromatosis; primary hemochromatosis which is an inherited disease and secondary hemochromatosis which is usually the result of something else, such as anemia, thalassemia, liver disease, or blood transfusions.

Talentless

...Talentless According to a dictionary written by people of knowledge [Webster to be more precise] Simplicity is defined as "the state of being simple, uncomplicated, or uncompounded." A quality, one would be surprised to know, that is almost extinct in the developed and developing parts of this world. Nowadays, every part of our lives, ourselves even, feature an add-on that complicates our existence, or the existence of our soda drink, our steering wheel, our sneakers. Many would brush off the idea that the greatest thinkers were equal to an amoeba in their simplicity. Well of course they would, because its disappointing to know that something so exiting as a creation of a genius is nothing but a straight line on chalk board. We all are aching for a storm, sort of climax, to everything we lay our eyes on. How is it possible, in today's world, that if you google "black square, Malevich" the automatically generated search includes the word "meaning" in it. A great thinkers, geniuses of their virtues, if you will, could explain medicine through their craft, could write music with brick laying, because they saw simplicity in what they were doing. But not today. Which brings me to my point. We are all Talentless - well, the majority of us is. Otherwise we would be able to express ourselves through our talent. The lack of being able to express yourself forces us to look for alternative ways of doing so, and that is when humanity's greatest fallacy falls into its throne. Somewhere...

..."Is this the right place this time?" Summer asked, gasping for air. "Hopefully," Jade said as she took a step out of the Forest of No Direction. The sun shone down on the two girls as they managed to escape the confusing forest, as if congratulating them for a job well done. Afterall, they had gone through the Forest for the third time just to find Spades Kingdom. The two girls approached the kingdom walls cautiously, uncertain of what beast would try to jump them. They couldn't take any chances. "Hey there, ladies~" greeted a young man as he walked up to the two of them. "What're ya gals doing here? Gonna try out the ferris wheel?" Jade eyed the young man carefully and stood between the stranger and Summer. "What? I just finished finished it," he said with a pout. "So what're ya gals here for?" "Black onyx," Jade said without hesitation. "We're giving our weapons a personal touch," Summer explained. "What? You're just gonna grab and go? That ain't any fun!" the man whined. Summer looked around the kingdom. There was a variety of attractions there like the ferris wheel the young man had mentioned, but there was also the merry-go-round and the rollercoaster that seems to span across the kingdom itself. Her eyes seemed to sparkle with excitement. "It wouldn't hurt to have some fun here," Jade said after seeing the look in Summer's eyes. "Shweet!" the young man said with a big grin on his face.

Knee Jerk Reflex

...A knee-jerk reflex is a test used to examine a reaction that is caused automatically without thinking or managing it. So let’s say a patient is sitting down with their legs hanging off the chair. We can take a tendon hammer and apply pressure to the patellar tendon by striking it. The strike will stimulate sensory neurons which will send a signal to the central nervous system, which is the brain and spinal cord. At the central nervous system the sensory neuron makes a synaptic connection to a motor neuron. The motor neuron will send the signal to stimulate the quadriceps to contract which causes the leg to be extended. The connection of the sensory neuron and motor neuron form a simple reflex arc. A simple reflex arc does not contain any interneurons....

Jerk Me Off

...Masturbation is the sexual stimulation of one's own genitals for sexual arousal or other sexual pleasure, usually to the point of orgasm.[1] The stimulation may involve hands, fingers, everyday objects, sex toys or combinations of these.[1][2] Mutual masturbation, mutual manual stimulation of the genitals between partners, can be a substitute for sexual penetration. Studies have found that masturbation is frequent in humans of both sexes and all ages, although there is variation. Various medical and psychological benefits have been attributed to a healthy attitude toward sexual activity in general and to masturbation in particular. No causal relationship is known between masturbation and any form of mental or physical disorder. Masturbation has been depicted in art since prehistoric times and is mentioned and discussed in very early writings. In the 18th and 19th centuries, some European theologians and physicians described it as "heinous", "deplorable", and "hideous", but during the 20th century, these taboos generally declined. There has been an increase in discussion and portrayal of masturbation in art, popular music, television, films, and literature. Today, religions vary in their views of masturbation; some view it as a spiritually detrimental practice, some see it as not spiritually detrimental, and others take a situational view. The legal status of masturbation has also varied through history and masturbation in public is illegal in most countries.[3] In the...

Business Law

...Introduction: This paper features the process of importing and exporting in business, particularly that of the Jerk Sauce coming from Jamaica to the United States. In the succeeding parts of this written work, the whole paper is assessed, analyzed and reviewed. All aspects of this paper are evaluated in both quantitative and qualitative forms. The first assessment is the viability of the written work. The first question to be asked is if this business is viable enough for a businessman to invest in. Since a business’s viability is “measured by its long-term survival, as well as its capacity to have sustainable earnings over a period” (Murray, 2015, para.1). Tasty Jerkz Company for this reason would be considered a viable company. The paper clearly states in its Financial Statement Analysis part the production cost of the company to make the Jerk Sauce as well as the exporting costs. It is stated in the paper the exact figure of $19,600 was given as its first year’s production cost, with a projection of 30 and 35 increase for two consecutive years following it. Moreover, the viability of the company is gauged through the net profit mentioned in the term paper which has seen growth of approximately 23 percent in the second year, and 40 percent in the third year, increasing from a $28,200 profit as recorded in the first year’s sales. Because of the impressive increases and growths in profits, a rational businessman is most likely to invest in Tasty Jerkz. Worthy...

Knee Jerk Research Paper

...For my creative project I decided on the Knee Jerk Reflex Arc. One of the main reasons I decided to pick this topic is because cell and neuron signaling has been a hard subject for me to truly understand. Being able to study more on the subject and applying it in a creative way has really done wonders for me. First off, why do we test the knee jerk/patellar reflex? One of the main reasons is so doctors can rule out disorders such as muscular dystrophy and/ or Central Nervous System damage. Once a doctor taps your patellar tendon with a reflex hammer it sends your lower leg forward, and drops back down swiftly. If the lower leg does not respond or moves excessively, then there is some form of CNS damage or a disorder. So how does this really work, if your brain does not half to tell your lower leg to jerk up when the tendon is hit? It is basically because of your Afferent and Efferent neurons. Once your patellar tendon is stretched. It is then detected by the muscle spindles in your quadriceps muscle. The muscle spindles stimulate the sensory neurons, which travels to the spinal cord. This is where the sensory neurons synapse with the motor neurons causing the contraction of the quadriceps muscle. Which in return creates the movement of the lower leg to jerk up....
