Laugh Break Stories - College Applicant This is an actual essay written by a college applicant to NYU in response to this question: I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I am an abrstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy.

Save Food from the Fridge by Jihyun Ryou Although we seem to think and talk about food almost constantly, do we really know how best to preserve it or do we leave this responsibility to technology? Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Jihyun Ryou feels we no longer understand how to treat food. Her Save Food from the Fridge project involves placing certain foods on a group of "knowledge shelves" outside the fridge. Perhaps through a better relationship with our food we may be able to waste less and conserve more energy. The ethylene gas produced by apples keeps potatoes from sprouting. Storing root vegetables vertically keeps them fresher longer. The umpteen tiny holes on the surface of an eggshell allows odors from other foods to be absorbed, so keeping them out of the fridge will ensure their tastiness. The glass cup of water is used to test freshness: a fresh egg will sink and remain horizontal. Fruit vegetables such as zucchini, aubergines, peppers and cucumbers are better off outside the fridge, placed above a water tray.

Interpreting Statements in Scientific Pape We've all read these phrases in a scientific paper (and many of us have written them). Some people think scientists speak a completely different language from other people, especially in peer-reviewed publications. Here's my attempt at a translation. "It can be shown" Somebody said they did this, but I can't duplicate their results. "It has long been known" I don't know the original reference. "A trend is evident" Okay, a trend does seem apparent to me, but no statistical analysis in the world will support it. "Of great theoretical and practical importance" Means it is interesting to me or else I want it to be interesting to somebody with money so they will fund my research. "Although there are no definite answers to these questions..." My experiment failed, but I still want to get published. "Three samples were selected for detailed study" Because the other ones sucked! "Typical results are shown" Either means the only results are shown or the best results are shown. "It is believed that..."
