Lent signifies the beginning of spring...after all, the name itself is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word; Lencten, meaning Springtime. It's the time of year that many of us look forward to all winter long. A time where the flowers bloom and the birds begin their yearly song and dance. This is a time of new beginnings, a time where we purge what we no longer want or need, ridding ourselves and our homes of the stagnant, either physically or energetically. During this time of the year we start fresh, looking forward to the bright and sunny days ahead...
Last week I took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather by taking a walk with my son. It was the first time we had been outside in what felt like ages. (I don't count running from the house to the car and vise versa cloaked in my wool coat and snow crunching beneath my boots as spending time outside). So with a perpetual smile on my face, I walked along the streets near my home and reflected on this idea of purging the

Would this new season bring with it new beginnings and new opportunities? Each year we grow a little bit more, navigating our way through this thing that they call the "American dream". We begin to prepare for upcoming events that we have always taken part in. "Should we continue on with what we've been doing"? I ask myself. Or should we, like my neighbors, weed out the "clutter" in our garden. Symbolically throwing away that which does not serve us anymore. Things come to mind on how to be more efficient and make our process easier and convenient for our customers. Though, I do not believe that we have clutter or "weeds" in our garden per say, we are always looking for ways to make our garden more beautiful, more noticeable than, say, other gardens. Constantly searching for perfection, an ongoing quest to find the perfect recipe on which to make what we have grown here at Mom's Pierogies more
Music and the sounds that surround us have a way of affecting us before we even enter this world. David Burrows, a music teacher at New York University explains this concept by saying “An unborn child may startle in the womb at the sound of a door slamming shut. The rich, warm cacophony of the womb has been recorded: the mother’s heartbeat and breathing are among the earliest indicators babies have the existence of a world beyond their own skin.” (Storr). This is something a person never outgrows. Whether we intend on it happening or not, the sounds by which we are surrounded affect our mental patterns. Nevertheless, music has the ability to help us heal emotionally and combat our current mental state.
Do you have any clue as to what Earth will look like in 2100? Earth is constantly changing all around you. The air is getting warmer, hurricanes are gettign more powerful, glaciers are melting faster, and the sea level is rising. Here in 2100 all is these things are happening right now.
I feel at age 20 you would feel more pressed for time to do all of the things that you wanted to do with your life. Many 20 year olds are usually in college starting their careers and lives, why would they want to be worrying about something that would not possibly happen until 50 years later? They would live there mid-life crises at a much younger age knowing that they have a predetermined end. I just feel that they would be living rushed lives in a sense because they know they have limited time, where as if you did not know when your life would begin to deteriorate you might experience life at a more steady pace.
From the beginning of mankind, there has always been some kind of authority formed, whether it was adequate or not throughout the world. As the years pass on, as more and more civilizations are created, multiple legislations that influence upon them are also obtained and combines as one, while being used by others. However, not all choose to rule under numerous, but one instead. Since America was first established, the democratic ways have all been greatly influenced by the righteous Greco/Roman philosophies, the virtuous Judeo/Christian teachings as well as the reconstructed feudalist England.
The objective of these “unknown” experiments was to take a mixed culture, which contains two unknown species, and identify those species through a series of tests. The group was informed that one species of bacteria would be a gram-negative bacillus and the other would be a gram positive coccus. The tests to be conducted ranged from streak plate isolation to biochemical tests. Each test to be conducted was discussed and agreed upon by all group members. The results of each test were analyzed by the group and led to selection of the next test that would further narrow the possible identity of the unknown species.
The first frost of the season was reported on Saturday, October 12, 1957. Edmonton people who rose early enough saw frost which was light and caused no damage.
A child’s success is a parents’ success. Every parent wants their child to do well and hence when compared to the parents who actively engage themselves with their child; the academic performance of the child would be well above. But this cannot be true for all as it is sad to know that all parents are not educated. This research is done with Year 11 students and sometimes it is difficult for parents to engage and help their child even if they wish to just because the parents are not educated enough or the child is doing a different subject form what the parent is qualified in. For instance during the parent interview session, a parent is a Masters Graduate in Business and Accounts but his child is taking Chemistry, Biology and Home Economics.
In school, I’ve always been older than the rest of my classmates. Most would think it doesn’t matter how old you are but it does matter. Things are different for me, in many different ways. My birthday is in May which is an awkward part of the year. My parents could have either had my go to the class above me and be younger, or they could hold me back and have me be the oldest. They didn’t want me to be the baby of the class so that is why they choose to hold me back in preschool. Since I am one of the oldest in my class, life is different between me and my classmates. It affects my life every day in many ways being older than them.
¥¥Think of your last seven years of your life. There were too many memories, experiences, and results to even remember everything that had happen in the last seven years. Now imagine investing your whole heart, soul, time, money, tears into something for a total of seven years. Each and every day you see no fruit or results for your hard work. Are you doing something wrong? Is this worth all the hard work? At what point do you give up? Willam Carey in the late 1700's and early 1800's was a missionary in India. It took him seven years until he saw one person saved. This story makes me really think about what results could I have seen if I stuck with something or someone. I can't even imagine how discouraged Carey was. The real question is was
Have you ever wondered how safe medical practices really are? Are the health practices currently taught within the health system adequate enough to contain the on growing diseases that affects us humans? Of course you guys would think our health system is working effectively to save many lives every day, nonetheless in our growing generation there are many medical flaws that aren’t evaluated. The credibility of medical devices produced by large corporations for instance, is a prime example to demonstrate how unsafe medical practices really are and hence highlight the burden you undertake for using such medical devices
Giving up candy for Lent may seem very easy for most people to do, but for Danny seemed like it would be impossible to do. Lent is a religious observance that begins on the day of Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday, or approximately six weeks. It is a season where Catholics prepare for Easter and give up something important from themselves for forty days like Jesus did in the desert. This story took place in 2012 as a fifth grader and lasted a couple of days before Lent to the very end of Lent or around the months of February and March. This story is about how giving up chocolate for Lent like Danny did or any other major goal is possible if you stay focused and motivated.
At the moment they don’t have any research on the life expectancy of Williams Syndrome, but there are still adults who are 60 and are healthy. The life expectancy is thought to be normal but not people with heart disorders. The prognosis varies for each individual because some people learn and do well in school. While others can’t progress that far.
The Lent season is set to begin in less than two weeks and many Christians and non-believers alike are now preparing to give up certain things for 40 days as part of the religious celebration.
