All of us have formed habits in our daily life. Even though some of these habits only exist in our subconscious and we cannot actually make sure whether they are real or only the conjectures. But it is undoubted that all of our behaviors are influenced by our desires on specific objectives. In the book, the power of habit, Charles Duhigg explained the definition of a habit as an effort-saving instinct. “When a habit emerges, the brain stops fully participating in decision making” (20). To support his opinions on habits, he introduced the three-step model of a habit loop, the theory of golden rule of habit, and the role of a craving brain and belief in the process of a habit changing.

Overall the conference was great but there was one con. There was a guy who was such a douche excuse my language, but just the way he carried himself had some things he said, for instance "I don't mind being a token black guy at a firm".

Matt Lamkin’s “A Ban On Brain-Boosting Drugs is Not the Answer” first appeared in Chronicle of Higher Education in 2011. In this essay Lamkin aims to convince his reader not to deter improper conduct with threats, but to encourage students to engage in the practice of education. Lamkin tells us “If colleges believe that enhancing cognition with drugs deprives students of the true value of education, they must encourage students to adapt that value as their own” (642). Appeal to logic, consistency, and compare/contrast are techniques Lamkin skillfully uses to create a strong effective essay.

“Hello mother, father, this is your Louie talking. This will be the first time in two years that you’ve heard my voice. I am now interned at a Tokyo prisoner of war camp and I’m being treated as well as can be expected under wartime conditions.” As a viewer we can see the look of pure disgust and longing upon Louie’s face. It was evident that he wasn’t eager to read what was prepared for him as it depicted a false perception of what his wartime conditions were truly like. The fact that he had to make it seem like he was well when in fact he was anything but. I am now able to understand that what those in society often herd about their captured soldiers was quite often incorrect. The enemy wanted to portray an image that hid the true conditions and circumstances the American soldiers were subject to. I not only found this film inspiring as it showed the resilience American soldiers had whilst confined in the prisoner of war camps but also found it interesting as it showed the truths of war so vividly in way that could never be achieved through the use of written words. As a result of this film I am able to see how much we owe these men for our freedom, we were never truly able to appreciate the sacrifice made by those men and women until viewing this incredible film. They went through so much to ensure the freedom of many generations to come and if it wasn’t for these men who knows what our lives would be like today.

Despite the audience having to pay for tickets to get in, 60,000 early comers entered the field where the stage was being set up and began camping out because fences closing in the event were not finished being put up. This was 2 days before opening night and already over half the amount of anticipated people had snuck in for free.

Opening day was supposed to be invitation only. However, many people forged and counterfeited the tickets. About 30,000 people squeezed through the gates that day.

I remember when I went to Wondercon. Wondercon is a big event held in a convention center in Los Angeles, many people attended it for a fun time and a fantastic experience. I was going there with my friend Steven, it was our first time going to a big convention. At Wondercon you could enter a panel which grasp your interest, enter the Grand Hall to buy some cool merchandise from the many booths or play new games. We went to Wondercon on a Friday, since Saturday was sold out, and Sunday would be left dry. Our eyes were set upon the booths for some cool, one of a kind items and since all the desired panels took place on Saturday.

And for those of you who have been to a convention, you guys can definitely relate to the atmosphere in the book as well as some of the experiences of the characters. (Although most of us probably can't relate to having the VIP backstage passes) On the other hand if you haven't been, I think the book does a fairly decent job of transporting you to the convention by having you live vicariously through the characters.

The things that I was impressed seeing at the airshow were the tend displays. They had military squadron groups, which I enjoyed talking to to them. I had the privilege to talk to some pilots about the aviation career that I am going into. Many of them told me that there is a high demand for aircraft mechanics and also pays well. That made me feel pretty good about the field that I am choosing. But what I really enjoyed seeing was how other people at the airshow were really engaged in conversation about aviation with the people and pilots they had at the tents.

The doctor-patient relationship always has been and will remain an essential basis of care, in which high quality information is gathered and procedures are made as well as provided. This relationship is a critical foundation to medical ethics that all doctors should attempt to follow and live by. Patients must also have confidence in their physicians to trust the solutions and work around created to counter act certain illnesses and disease. Doctor-patient relationships can directly be observed in both the stories and poems of Dr. William Carlos Williams as well as in the clinical tales of Dr. Oliver Sacks. Both of these doctors have very similar and diverse relationships with multiple patients
