“Let There Be Light” 18 November 2013 Finding the Medium between Happy and Healthy The authors Douglas J. Lisle PH.D. and Alan Goldhamer D.C. wrote the book‚ The Pleasure Trap: Mastering the Hidden force that undermines Health and Happiness‚ to reveal to people how to live healthy yet happy lives. The authors did an adequate job of revealing to their audience how sleep is an important aspect to our happiness. They are able to do this by connecting Thomas Edison’s invention of the light bulb to the

Light is everywhere in our world. We need it to see: it carries information from the world to our eyes and brains. Seeing colors and shapes is second nature to us‚ yet light is a perplexing phenomenon when we study it more closely. Here are some things to think about: Our brains and eyes act together to make extraordinary things happen in perception. Movies are sequences of still pictures. Magazine pictures are arrays of dots. Light acts like particles—little light bullets—that stream from the

Memory ‘Memory’ labels a diverse set of cognitive capacities by which we retain information and reconstruct past experiences‚ usually for present purposes. Memory is one of the most important ways by which our histories animate our current actions and experiences. Most notably‚ the human ability to conjure up long-gone but specific episodes of our lives is both familiar and puzzling‚ and is a key aspect of personal identity. Memory seems to be a source of knowledge. We remember experiences and

History is the compilation of events and peoples perspective in events‚ all meshed up into a montage to create a definitive account of events. The Smithsonian website created by the American government shows a compelling selection of objects images and personal stories from the events of September 11 for the public to view at any time on the internet. Loose change is a documentary by Dylan Avery which has an opposing perspective to that of the terrorists attacking America. Both texts provide a recount

The electron is a fundamental subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. It is a spin-½ lepton that participates in electromagnetic interactions‚ and its mass is less than one thousandth of that of the smallest atom. Its electric charge is defined by convention to be negative‚ with a value of −1 in atomic units. Together with atomic nuclei‚ electrons make up atoms; their interaction with adjacent nuclei is the main cause of chemical bonding. The name "electron" comes from

I have chosen to compare ‘Exposure’ by Wilfred Owen and ‘Bayonet Charge’ by Ted Hughes. Owen uses two powerful similes in Exposure. The first being in line 7‚ equating the harsh wind to ‘twitching agonies of men’ is a gruesome comparison that conveys a natural‚ merciless phenomenon in terms of vivid human suffering. In complete contrast with the reality of the poem’s setting‚ the touch of snow is equated with an image of lying under a blossom-laden tree in England. The home fires contain glowing

our MEMORY. A flow of events must occur before we can say “I remember”. Memory is “an active system that receives‚ stores‚ organizes‚ alters and recovers information” (Lieberman‚ 2004). In general‚ memory acts like a computer. Incoming information will be encoded‚ it is like typing data into a computer. Next‚ stored the information that we typed into the system. Finally‚ memories must be retrieved in order to be useful. According to Parente and Stapleton (1993)‚ they stated that “memory is a
