Over the last semester, our class has gone on a journey throughout space. This journey has grown our knowledge and imagination of what space holds for humanity. With this class, we have been inspired to look past our own planet to the future opportunities the the stars hold. Just as this class has lit the fire of adventure for space in us, our group went to Legacy High School to present to both of Mr. Wold's AVID class, pictured below, where we tried to inspire the group of seniors about the wonder of space before they took their next step in life. To do this, we presented on one of space's biggest mysteries, Black Holes. The presentation was broken into six slides with each member presenting two of the slides. The slide that was done by Joyce Kruger was the basic intro where we got the audience thinking about our topic. We would first ask the audience “Do you know what we are presenting on today” and most of them would raise their hands because we had already told them what we're talking about and we wanted them to raise their hands. Once their hands were up we would then pick someone with their hand up and ask them what a black hole is in their opinion. We wanted to get a couple kids to say their opinion just to get a baseline on what they already know. Then we would introduce the definition of a black hole and compare it to what the kids said. We would wrap up this slide by talking about how black holes were made. This was a good segway into Paul’s section on the
After his brief time on the screen it changes to another interviewer, female this time, who continues his statement by adding that “material comes together under the force of gravity and tries to fight but get too much material you can’t overcome that force and eventually mathematics and laws of physics take us into this strange regime”. The next series of speakers are broken into approximately 30 seconds of screen time in which they explain pieces of what causes a black hole. The next screen continues with a man who explains that black holes occur simply when a star dies and another speaker elaborates on what they are by explaining them as “something that’s got many masses of a sun that has collapsed on its own gravitational pull” and “a lot of mass that is packed in a very small region, eventually collapses to the point where not even light can escape from it and it forms what has been called an event
The memoir, Traveling Blind: Life Lessons from Unlikely Teachers, details the life of Laura Fogg. Although initially studying to become an Art Historian, Fogg radically changed career paths after witnessing an orientation and mobility instructor at the California School for the Blind. Although beginning as a curiosity, this interaction led to Fogg’s pursuance of a Masters in Orientation and Mobility at San Francisco State College, and eventually a thirty year career as a Orientation and Mobility Specialist in rural Mendocino. The memoir, Traveling Blind: Life Lessons from Unlikely Teachers, details Fogg’s experiences as a teacher of the visually impaired, and provides the reader a glimpse into the challenges and successes of her work. In each chapter, Fogg highlights a separate student who has someway or another changed her life. From the zany Shaynna, to the humorous Red, Fogg illustrates the uniqueness of each of her students. Although, Traveling Blind: Life Lessons from Unlikely Teachers, explores the lives of Fogg and her students, the memoir also serves as an illustration on the meaning of patience, loss and humanity.
This paper will introduce you to the incredible topic which is black holes. A black hole is a region of space time exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing can escape from inside it. (NASA) No human has ever entered a black hole and there is still a large mystery about them; we have very little idea of where the matter that enters them goes. A black hole cannot be looked into either, as it sucks all the light into the middle of it. Space programs use special satellites with certain features that allow them to see these black holes. A black hole can be big or small, sometimes forming when a star is dying. Some scientists speculate that there can be black holes just 1 centimeter large. There are multiple types of
I work in Interventional Radiology (IR) we took care of a patient who needed a new percutaneous nephrostomy tube. The procedure was considered urgent, the patient had a mass blocking the right ureter, the consulting physicians felt the patient was becoming septic. Placement of a nephrostomy tube requires the patient be positioned prone on the IR exam table for approximately an hour, and the patient is anesthetized using MAC sedation when a patient is getting a new nephrostomy tube. After the nephrostomy tube is placed the patient recovers in IR and then returns to his room until he is ready for discharge. Once the patient is discharged from the hospital the patient must have a visiting nurse, or the patient must be discharged to a nursing facility so a professional health care provider will be monitoring the nephrostomy tube post discharge. Patients are required to follow up with IR for routine nephrostomy tube exchange every 3 months after the nephrostomy tube is placed until the tube is no longer needed.
Black holes are some of unusual and most interesting objects found in outer space. The first thing I learned, black holes are objects of the greatest density due to the strong gravity because mater has been squeezed into a tiny space. With the black holes relationships with mass and gravity, they have an extremely powerful gravitational force that even light cannot escape from their grasp if it comes near enough. Second thing I learned is about the inner region of a black hole, where its mass lies, is known as its singularity, the single pint in space-time where the mass of the black hole is concentrated. The third thing I learned that I found the most fascinating is if the earth ever falls into a black hole, one of the effect that will happen is “spaghettification,” which means if objects come too close to a black hole, it will stretch out, just like a spaghetti. This effect is brought about by a gravitational gradient across the object or a body. For example, if earth comes too close to a black hole, the nearest part of the planet will be pulled by an enormous gravitational pull, while leaving the farthest part with a small gravitational force. The fourth thing I learned is that the new hypothesis suggests that anything that touches a black hole will become an
The common conceptual intuition of black holes includes the fact that they attract matter with great force in such a manner that it engulfs everything in its proximity. The concept of accretion disks and as we shall see, particles escaping the gravitational potential,
The movie Office Space follows the main character Peter Gibbons and his co-workers Michael Bolton and Samir Nagheenanajar who work for the software company Intech in the late 1990s. Peter hates his job, saying that every day is the worst day, and visits a hypnotherapist at the suggestion of his girlfriend at the time to help alleviate workplace stress. He is left in a carefree, hypnotic state following the sudden death of the hypnotherapist and as a result, he is feels empowered to skip work, show up late, and destroy Intech’s property. Despite the abundance of counterproductive work behaviors displayed, he is promoted to an upper management position. With the help of Michael and Samir, who are about to lose their job at
“Black holes are perhaps the most exotic objects to impinge on the cosmic consciousness. They are formed when matter such as that from a dying massive star collapses in calamitously under its own gravity. forming a region of space in which the gravitational is so strong that it swallows all matter and radiation that come near it.” - Christopher Reynolds (Anderson, 2010).
This week was an experimental week for chem177. I am in track 2, and our first lab is the Alien Periodic table lab in conjunction with the Lewis Dot Lab. On Monday, I completed the academic integrity and the policy statements. With the syllabus, that was the first introduction to the expectations professor Stone has for his students regarding the lab. It was important for us to know the policies, so we had an idea on how to act in the lab sessions. In addition, he made his stance on academic integrity very clear. On Wednesday during lecture, we learned about the resources available to us, such as Scifinder and Zotero. These will be very important for us to use when assignments like the chemical element require in depth information. The biggest
Black holes can be scary to think about, but amazing at the same time. The fact that they can have such a heavy gravitational pull that not even light can escape is fascinating. Luckily we will probaly destroy Earth before a black hole eats it

Focusing process guides you to understand your experience through consciously attending
Black holes had always piqued my interests, from when a small child intently devoured documentary to documentary to when a confused teenager encapsulated herself in a black hole of her own. The science of the black hole transfixed my childhood sense of curiosity, but especially the point that the scientific world labeled the “singularity”, the point at which gravity became infinite.
This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.
Thunder crashed all around making the ground shake. I was running late as usual, but this time I was not sure what I was late for. The ground was uneven as I ran to my destination; whether that was home or work I can not quite remember. Consequently, I just knew I needed to arrive there and quickly. Thunder boomed again, but this time it was different. Ahead a flash of lightning struck, blinding me, causing my eyes to close for a split second, then I felt a breath of air tickle my neck. I shut my eyes tight, terrified to turn around as goose bumps crawled up my arms. Nevertheless, I turned around slowly opening my eyes, but there was only darkness surrounding me. Gasping, I turned and sprinted the trees rushed past as I
The idea of technology taking over the world has been popular amongst TV shows, including a show called Black Mirror which was released on Netflix in 2011. In the show’s episode, “White Christmas”, two men, who worked together, start to talk about their pasts, specifically their hamartias. One of the men, Matt, shares his story of how he would help males get dates by using technology to see and hear what these men do. He watched one of his “clients” die from a female drugging him. The second job Matt spoke about was of a new technology he placed in homes that allowed a person to take a piece of him/herself and put it into a pod, called a Cookie, that would allow a mental copy of themselves to take care of all of their needs in life. The second man, Joe, told his own story before coming to work with Matt. His story consists of him falling in love with a woman, her getting pregnant, and then she blocks him, which also blocks the baby. He becomes obsessed with trying to see the child. After his ex love interest dies in a fatal accident, he was unblocked from the child, but then later learned the child was not his. In a rage, he killed the child's new caretaker, her grandfather, and left her alone to die. Through telling the story, Joe admits to the crime he committed, and then it is revealed that Matt is using the technology, from his second job, to get Joe to admit to the crime, while Matt also pays for his crime using surveillance and was blocked by everyone in society.
