Smores Research Paper

The atlatl is an ancient paleolithic tool used as a lever to lengthen the distance that a dart can be thrown, compared to using just an arm. But does an atlatl really lengthen how far a dart travels compared to throwing the dart by hand? Based on accumulated information, the hypothesis was: If an atlatl is used to throw a dart, then it will lengthen the distance that the dart will travel compared to throwing it by hand. This is because the atlatl is a lever that acts as another joint of the arm, increasing both the leverage, force, and energy of a throw. To test this, I created an atlatl using a wooden branch with a spur sticking out of it, paracord, a rock, tape, a bamboo stick, duct tape, knife, and a saw. I carved the wooden branch to

After her brother’s release, the NSW consorting laws prevented her brother from maintaining contact with his friends in jail, so Shirley continued the visits on his behalf. Her nickname became, "I’m his Mum", whenever officials queried her relationship with the prisoners. Eventually the authorities recognized the value of her support for prisoners and allowed her access to any prisoner she wished to visit. Her caring continued beyond prisons, with many people with no family or friends in Sydney arriving at Mum Shirl’s Redfern house seeking shelter. By the early 1990s she had reared over 60 children. Mum Shirl recalls the day she received the MBE medal, 11th June 1977 her name was (Mrs. Shirley Colleen Smith) as she was voted to be nominated

The first paper is due by Monday, April 9, 11:59 p.m. You MAY use sources outside of the Liberty Search Engine (and are encouraged to do so). Also you may use scholarly books and not just journal articles. You should avoid using generic websites that do not appear scholarly in nature. A good rule of thumb is that if a website does not have an author, it is not a good source. Good online material has also usually been published in print at some point. Google Scholar and JSTOR are great places to search, as well as the online encyclopedias I've shown you. Always feel free to send me an email if you have questions about sources or formatting.

“Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.” –Hippocrates, 460-377 BC. If a Greek physician could make this statement over 2300 years ago, why is it such an under-exposed theory today? As stated in Chiropractic First, written by Dr. Rondberg, a chiropractor of 35 years and founder of the “Chiropractic Journal,” Hippocrates “believed that only nature could heal and it was the physician’s duty to remove any obstruction that would prevent the body from healing” (8-9). These “physicians” are called chiropractors today, and their goal is to remove subluxations, the displacement of two or more spinal disks that causes

On May 2, 2012, the National Football League lost one of its elite players to suicide: Junior Seau. Seau played for the Chargers, Dolphins, and the Patriots during his professional football career and was a 12-time Pro Bowler before retiring in 2009. Three years after his retirement however, Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a gun. This greatly shocked the football world and its image of Junior Seau as a person, but it soon realized the cause for his action. Shortly after Seau’s death, researchers examined Seau’s brain and found that it contained a disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is formed

Every city has that one basketball game that everyone goes to. The game that brings the crowd to their feet. That one game that brings thousands of people to the audience, and leave them with something to talk about for the remainder of their lives.

Have you ever went camping with friends or family and admired the welcoming campfires that were built? Roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or just sitting and absorbing the nature around you are just a few of the many enjoyable activities that can be done with a bonfire! However, what may look like a simple set-up might be more complex than one would assume. In fact, there are several steps a person should follow when constructing a campfire. Practicing these instructions can not only lead to a more successful, thriving bonfire, but can also guide you to becoming more safe and aware. When my dad taught me how to build a fire, it was an overall bonding experience. He was patient with me through the many failed attempts and constantly reminded me that safety was the most important factor. The skills that I learned from him will continue to come in handy any time my friends or family want to gather around a campfire.

Before I toasted the marshmallow, it was large, white, and squishy. You could squeeze it and tear off pieces. The inside was sticky and gooey, and got all over your hands. To toast my Marshmallow I used a blow torch, which made it start to burn almost instantly. It began to become crispier, char, and turn black. It kept charring, until part of it was set on fire. It began to make smoke, which smelled like a marshmallow. Once it was all charred and black, parts of the inside started oozing out, and the protective layer of carbon started to break. The stick I used also began to burn. Eventually the marshmallow started to melt, until it completely fell off the stick. At this point it was completely burnt, and I didn’t think it could get any worse.

As I was thinking about what to write for my personal essay, I could not seem to find anything I thought was important to write about. I closed the written application and proceeded to watch a movie. Smurfs the lost village as I was watching this movie it got me to thinking I am just like Smurfette. I feel like I do not belong or that I am lost hope as well. I do not fit in like other kids yes, I am different, but different does not change the person you are inside. During the movie, Smurfette is not an original smurf like the others but she will not stop until she reaches her full potential. She was made from a lump of clay, yet I feel that I am that lump of clay. Lost in a society that does not favor me, but I will stop at nothing to prove

A purple kitten known as Smurf, because of it's purple color, is bringing much needed attention to the problem of animal abuse. Smurf was dyed a purple color by whomever had him before he was found. He was found with multiple puncture wounds on his body. An expert in pet rescue feels that the wounds are consistent with bite marks obtained. It's believed that Smurf was used a living "chew toy". This is common practice with those who train dogs to fight.

In the United States, starting salaries for teachers who have completed a four-year degree are far lower compared to many other professions, which also require a four-year degree. In most states, teachers must undergo testing and other rigorous certification requirements, but they are given the same consideration or status as beginning professionals in other areas. Although attractive incentives are offered, the compensation does not compare to the long hours of work and schooling required for a teaching career.
