I used to believe that love was a light switch. Something flicks on. You get an overwhelming sensation. It hits you like a bag of bricks. Or a strong arrow. When you know‚ you know. Right? Not so much. After 28 years‚ I don’t see love that way anymore. I’ve placed Cupid right next to Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Love is a series of choices. The first choice is based on many many factors‚ including chemistry‚ principle‚ logic‚ humor‚ intelligence‚ body type‚ where we are in our lives‚ what

2016‚ I organized a venturesome trip for my dad and I to share in the Florida Keys during the weekend of our birthdays. Our trip was scheduled for the end of July‚ which happened to be the hottest and the most chaotic time to go because of lobster season. As a Floridian‚ I have traveled to many destinations throughout Florida; but never before have I gone as far south as the keys. Recalling the first time I visited the Florida Keys is one of my fondest memories. Ultimately‚ the

Light in August‚ by William Faulkner‚ is a story of racial conflict in a Southern United States town.

One of the most interesting things about Joe Christmas

Florida Should Legalize Euthanasia Florida should legalize euthanasia and I offer the following plan. The way Florida would legalize euthanasia should be by setting up a set of professional doctors who could examine all cases in which a person or an ill patients family request euthanasia due to extreme pain or an incurable disease. The doctors could examine these people and if they find there is no way other than the use of machines 24-hours a day to keep these people alive they

THE NATURE OF LIGHT Until the time of Isaac Newton (1642–1727)‚ most scientists thought that light consisted of streams of particles (called corpuscles) emitted by light sources. Galileo and others tried (unsuccessfully) to measure the speed of light. Around 1665‚ evidence of wave properties of light began to be discovered. By the early 19th century‚ evidence that light is a wave had grown very persuasive. In 1873‚ James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves and calculated

Silverstein PHY 101 Section 10497 March 4‚ 2013 Light up this World Purpose: In this lab experiment‚ LED lights will be used to show how when E&M radiation is absorbed‚ the energy is converted to heat. A drop of isopropyl alcohol will absorb light energy of different colors‚ and the evaporation rate of the alcohol will be measured. The key to this lab is the evaporation rate is directly related to the energy of the light shining on the drop. Materials: * * LEDs and circuits
