The Stinky Kid

Picture this: You are in a new school, and there are more than 1,200 people you don’t know. You’re scared; you have never met one single person in this building before. You don’t know if anyone is going to accept you. You feel as if every one of them is sizing you up and judging you. This was the case for me when I moved in the middle of 6th grade. I moved from a small town. The middle school I was going to attend was more than four times the size of the school I had previously been attending. I was scared, and I didn’t know what to think. I knew the new school was going to be completely different than my old one. The whole day was going completely down hill until one little thing changed everything.

Farmers tend to be exposed to chemicals like ammonia and pesticides daily that can affect the skin and the respiratory system due to inhalation. Scientists and researchers in eastern North Carolina have also been investigating the plausible association between exposure to airborne pollution from swine and wheezing symptoms among nearby

Stink bugs were first sighted back in 1998 in eastern Pennsylvania. From there, populations have migrated to almost all fifty states in only sixteen years. Known for the odor emitted once disturbed, stink bugs are able to release a liquid from the sides of their bodies causing this odor as well as a bad taste in order to protect them. While stink bugs are pests to local home gardeners, they have seriously detrimental affects on farmers. When these pests feed on crops/fruit such as corn, apples, tomatoes, etc they cause the crops/fruits to be unmarketable. This can mean that entire fields of crops go to waste and farmers are left with nothing. Scientists are currently working hard to find ways to ward off stink bugs. Meanwhile, stink bugs are able to thrive in the United States/Missouri since they have no natural predators here. If you ever have problems with a pest, local nurseries recommend that you talk to a local farmer or employee to discuss the best way to deal with them. That way no harm will come to you or your

The Holocaust is a subject that in most states are a required element of curriculum. Many choose to teach a version that does not include the graphic nature and torture that Jews withstood. Instead of give lecture or text based assignments many use movies to show the Holocaust, for their easier for children to understand. Issues that could arise would be if they are able to understand that not every story portrayed in a movie is an actual event and that some aspects are fictional while some are truthful. It is essential that teachers ensure their students are aware of the function that the movies is supposed to serve.

I was that girl who bought the second-hand Diaper Genie from an Online Kids Swap and soon after placing a dirty diaper inside, the smell lingered. Just a little at first, not enough to really to bother me at first but as you pile in the dirty diapers, the stink adds up! It wasn't long before I had the

The articles, “The History of Stink”, written by Kristin Lewis, and “What’s that Smell?”, written by Kathy Satterfield, talk about how our hygiene’s practices have changed exponentially. To illustrate, the first article states, “The ancient Egyptians kept fresh by rubbing their pits with cinnamon and citrus oils. After exercise, the ancient Greeks scraped their skin with a metal tool called a strigil” (Lewis 18). This excerpt from the article helps explain how even since the begin of times, our ancestors changed their way of maintaining hygiene, from using cinnamon and citrus oils to scraping their skin with a strigil. Additionally, another portion of evidence from the second article says, “Now Clayton, 15, and Nicolas, 12, douse themselves

Did you ask what the best movies of the year were? Well there were four exceptionally good movies that came out this year. To start with, “The Kid” was one of the best. It was about a baby who was left by his mother in a limousine, while the mom went to commit suicide. That same limo is stolen by thieves who dump the baby in a trash can. I found that part to be outrageous. Who leaves a baby in a trash can? A guy named “Charlie the Tramp” finds the baby. He decides to keep him and make a home where he can stay. There was something Charlie didn’t expect to happen though. Five years later, the mother decides she wants to take the child back. Charlie steals the child before he arrives at the orphanage, but someone takes him back. In the end, Charlie

The interpersonal communication in the movie “The Kid” is unique in some aspects. Russ, the middle aged character, has an indifference to everyone he communicates with at the beginning of the movie. As the movie progresses, you can see how Russ’s interpersonal communication skills slow evolve from that indifference, impersonal and high context person to one of low context with manner principles and most aware of those he is actually communicating with.

Imagine a hot summer day with a brother and sister playing in their backyard, ages three and five respectively. They want to cool off, so they turn on the hose, and, as they have done countless times, the sister partially blocks the water flow so her brother can toddle through the spray. However, today she notices a strange odor permeating from the spigot. She doesn’t think anything of it until the smell worsens, at which time she promptly tells her mother. Horrified, her mother rushes to scoop up her son to go wash him in their bath tub. When she turns on the tap to draw the water, she again smells the odor. Distraught, the mother towel dries her child in a final attempt to spare his skin, but does not know what else to do.

We tend to appreachiate order in our surroundings. The air we breath deserves a certain order and although it can be taken for granted, we known when air quality is less than desirable. At best, poor air quality distracts us from what needs concentration. It can be irritating to the point of being an annoyance which is mildly stressful. However, pollutnats can be suspending in the air to an extent where

My first reason is because of a chemical called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). It has a tendency to drift up to the layer of ozone gas that surrounds the Earth and break up the ozone molecules. CFCs were found in aerosol cans that sprayed substances like deodorant and hairspray and in refrigerants, fire extinguishers and solvents for cleaning. Other ozone depleting chemicals were found

In 1966, a botched electrical circumcision left David Reimer (then named Bruce) without a penis. A malfunction in the doctor’s equipment (electro-cautery needle) caused the needle to burn Reimer’s penis from tip to base. The Reimer’s were left with a dilemma: a son with no penis. They visited several medical experts who assured them that penile reconstruction would prove worthless. The Reimer’s were devastated and did not know how to help David. One afternoon when the Reimer’s saw Dr. John Money, a so-called expert in sex reassignment, on television they contacted him and brought their son to see him. It would prove to be a tragic decision.
