- 2011: Music and Its Effect On People
- ... mind at all. Love is tearful or it's gay. It's a problem or it's play; It's a heartache either way, But beautiful! And I'm thinking if you were mine I'd never let you go; And that would be but beautiful I know. "Love is funny or it's sad, Or it's quiet or it's mad..." Frank Sinatra, an American icon, sang about love ... about what's yours and what's mine and fighting and killing others for those very same things. No longer do we love each other and give our time and understanding, many people in this day and age feel like there isn't any logical point in being friendly with your neighbors, today it's all about competition to be better than the next person. Back then, it wasn't that ... there goes another rubber tree plant When troubles call, and your back's to the wall There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall Once there was a silly old ram Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam No one could make that ram, scram He kept buttin' that dam 'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes He had high apple pie, in the ...
- 2012: Autism
- ... common routines are: drinking and/or eating the same foods at every meal, wearing certain clothing or insisting that others wear the same clothes.

- 2013: Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page
- ... masters of music to teenage kids were taken by Hendrix's experimentation. Not since the likes of Eric Clapton or Pete Townshend had a young musician been able to take off on a stage.

Without question, Jimi Hendrix was one of the most innovative, creative, determined guitarists of our ... time for them to become the most popular musicians of our time. A stunning collection of songs with almost identical guitar riffs and playing, due to Hendrix’s impact on Jimmy Page, remain to this day some of the greatest songs ever written.

There was no dictum ... speak" to faceless strangers are all the rage. How far are we from Bradbury's broadcast TV "families"? Montag's wife exclaims, "If we had a fourth wall [of wall-size TV screens], why it'd be just like this room wasn't ours at all, but all kinds of exotic people's rooms."(22) When war is declared in Fahrenheit 451, people are not over concerned.

- 2017: Biological Warfare and Terrorism
- ... One of the difficulties which has long plagued chemical warfare defense also lends difficulty to counter terrorist capabilities. This is the lack of effective detectors.

This lack of available detection technology makes CW agents ideal to transport and conceal due to their ... weapons even more desirable as a terrorist weapon.

- 2018: Ozymandias (1818): An Analysis
- ... one looks closer, emphasizes certain aspects of the king. While rhyme is present, no recognizable rhyme scheme is used. The pattern is as follows (with "/" representing a slant rhyme): a b a /b a c d c e d /e f /e f (the second "/e" is a slant of "e," not of the first "/e"). This "boundless" style seems to represent the way Ozymandias saw himself -- as one in complete control, bowing to ... s poem still has its power. Through irony, unique use of rhyme, and historical allusion, "Ozymandias" reminds us of our mortality through the realization that our earthly accomplishments, so important to us now, will one day be covered by the "lone and level sands" of time.

- ... possible species in tropical Africa are so numerous that a long and lucky search is likely to be required (Henahan, 1995).

The researcher caught the Ebola Tai from a chimpanzee while carrying out an investigation about a spate of deaths among local chimps of the Tai forest. When the Pasteur investigators ... tissue resembling what had previously been found in autopsies of patients who perished from Ebola Zaire and Sudan. Instant investigation of the 4200 square-kilometer reserve of the Tai forest was launched, but to this day no trace to the location of Ebola has been found. The researcher was evacuated to a hospital in Switzerland where she recovered. The dedicated researcher has now returned to Ivory Coast to continue her work ... including small rodents and several thousand possible insects. Material of these animals are now being processed for virus isolation. Blood samples of an estimated 64 suspected cases have also been serologically confirmed. Still to this day, many questions like "Where is Ebola originally from?" and "Will Ebola Zaire, Sudan, or Tai be able to become air- born?" remain a mystery.
