Should Surfing be in the Olympics? Surfing in the Olympics has been a hot topic for the past two decades. In the Olympics, everybody has an equal playing field. This begs the question: “Should surfing be in the Olympics?” The debate with surfing is that the ocean does not give competitors an equal playing field. The ocean does not give an equal playing field because humans are going against mother nature. Also, the ocean is not in an enclosed space like a swimming pool so it is not controlled

I am a student from Gordon High School. My name shall remain anonymous but I very much agree with your recent article about the Wave in the Grapevine and how it is changing students and making them do such unforgivable things. When the Wave first started I felt a sense of excitement because an experiment like this has never happened in our school before . Unfortunately, I was aghast to find out that people were using The Wave as an excuse to hurt others and I felt terrible that this is not what

Surfing has been around for hundreds of years in many different cultures from the Polynesians to the Hawaiians. However, when most people think of surfing nowadays California comes to mind. Surfing has come a long way from when it first started and most of these changes happened in the 1900s. America has been super influential in the growth and development of surfing, but what caused such an increase in popularity towards surf culture? Surf culture increased in the US during the 1960s due to Hollywood

The definition and concept of employability has been in discussion from several years and with the passage of time, the interest is growing further. With the increase in promoting graduate employability, various studies and researches are developed with in-depth taxonomies and breakdowns for specific attributes and skills needed to endorse and support graduate employability like key skills, transferable skills, functional knowledge, industry information, common skills and skills for life (DeRosa

Swells and Ripples The pebble was small and squarish, rubbed like ocean glass– perhaps thousands of miles far away from home, possibly even from a cove just around the bend from the limestone coast. The only person whom the pebble was in any way special to was Alex Dunn, and that was only due to the fact he’d kept the pebble within his right-side pants pocket for nearly two years. Alex held the stone between his fingers, only to tilt it to lay flat against the ridges of his palm, brushing his

beautiful lighting, astonishing choreography, and amazing movement was directed by Estee Carrizosa and performed on December 6, 2017, in the Artist theater by students in dance 2, 3, and company. Iris Swell, the choreographer of “The Cave,” is a company dancer in the Laguna Beach High School Dance Program. Swell created the dance to the song The Cave by Mumford & Sons and was inspired to create this dance from her grandma and her sisters’ individuality. She used lighting, music, energy, movement, and costumes

The swell window for my surf break, Zeto Point, was difficult to calculate since it is located in a bay. However, I was able to estimate the swell window from the mouth of the bay where swell would be able to enter. Zeto Point is located at latitude 51o54’16.58”N and longitude 176o33’28.39”W. Being located in a bay, there are several obstructions to wave energy, the coordinates tangent to the northern obstruction are latitude 52o04’37.96N and longitude 176o12’20.72”W, this point is located 32.068

If Timmy was punched hard enough, he can have fractures on the cartilage structure of the throat, since the cartilage is flexible and not as strong as the bones. If damage is inflicted, by strong hit for example, on the larynx, it begins to swell. If it swells too much, the flow of air can blocked and you start to suffocate. How would this affect his respiratory system? Timmy’s cartilage plates around the larynx are probably severely damaged and this can compromise the airways and let the air to escape

created by local and offshore winds and other meteorological phenomena. There are two types of surface waves called wind waves and swells. Wind waves are generally steep with a short period and most of the time crests break in deep water. Swells cause from storms distances from the coast. Swell have a long, smooth surface and these waves never break in deep sea. Swell may have very long period. As wave approach shallow water, wave heights increase and wavelength decreases. Consequently, wave steepness

Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis can cause cells to swell and sometimes burst. We can see this property in the lab we did in class. When we put gummy bears in the water they grew up to 500% of their original size. This happened because the water was entering the cells, causing them to swell and increasing the size and mass of the gummy bears. When cells grow due to osmosis it causes two different things to happen, based on the cell. If it is

get are Epilepsy in which you will have seizures. Another possibility is second impact syndrome which causes your brain to faitily swell up. Second impact syndrome is the most dangerous condition because it is when your first concussion doesn't heal correctly and your body loses its ability to be able to control the pressure of your brain so it lets your brain swell up which may lead to death. Recovery in this stage will take longer this time because you need give your brain time to rest and not

big black swells would appear all over the body that where very painful. Then the second day you would have a really bad fever and be vomiting all over the place. On the third day you started to bleed internally which caused the blood to show up on the skin as big black blotches all over. After your body is full of big black blotches the next day the virus started to attacked the nevis system which causes very very painful muscle spasms. Then on day fifth day sometimes the black swells would bersted

Water was a very interesting character in The Odyssey. Water had the capacity to kill, prevented people from getting somewhere, kept something alive, had what seemed like an endless span, was a method of transportation, the substance of life, and showed up in gas(pg. 50) and liquid form. Water was a dangerous force to be reckoned with in The Odyssey. Water has a part in why Ulysses didn’t get back to Ithaca for twenty years. The water currents, changed by the wind, made it so that he couldn’t get

pregnancy, the expansion of the uterus can put a lot of pressure on the vena cava, which is a major blood vessel that performs the important function of returning blood from the legs to the heart. This additional pressure could cause your legs to swell. High Blood Pressure Water retention and swelling of the legs usually takes place in people who are suffering from high blood pressure. Since this condition can be a major cause for concern in pregnancy, you need to get your blood pressure checked

you start getting the annoying questions: "So what would happen if I poked it with a needle, would blood start pouring out of the hole? " So, it is like a giant blood blister?" Or better yet, "What if your hand never stops swelling one day and it swells so big that it just explodes?" This was what it was like most of my life going to school with my condition. Until one day mom got a call from our specialist that

Night Response Paper Reading this memoir about the horrific genocide is very disturbing. It makes me upset that millions of innocent people are killed for literally nothing. How does Eliezer tolerate dehumanization, why didn't the Aryans help the Jews, how does Eliezer survive with small amount of food, these questions go through my mind everytime I read the memoir, Night. I’m learning a lot as I’m reading this memoir. For example, how the prisoners are dehumanized and what their life is like in

result of them caring for material possessions alone. (STEWE-1) This is true of the random strangers Clarisse watches and listens to. She says that they talk about nothing, that “‘They name a lot of cars or clothes or swimming pools mostly and say how swell!’” (Bradbury 28). Their whole conversation centers around “stuff” and “things”, and what they do not talk about is each other. They do not understand or focus on the people before them, and they do not effectively communicate with each other either

In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies Jack transforms from a boy who 's determined to hunt and find food for the group of boys, to a power hungry savage who disagrees with Ralph. As Jacks chaotic actions increases, the reader will notice how fear and chaos will drive people to extreme behaviors. Jack is assigned to be one of the hunters on the island and he becomes obsessed with killing the pig. Golding sets the scene by writing “the madness came to his eyes again”... “I thought I might kill” (53)

Hypothesis: I think the egg and vinegar will have a chemical reaction and the egg will dissolve. When it is placed in tap water I think that there will be a greater concentration in the inside of the egg because the vinegar seeps in the egg and when placed in tap water it has a chemical reaction because osmosis diffuses from water. The two molecules that dissolved the egg shell are calcium acetate and water. When we put the egg in the vinegar to dissolve the egg shell it will take 48 hours to
