Hello. I am demonstrating the comparison of a normal brain and a brain aneurysm. So, I would like to use a model of both types of brains.Does...

To save on space and materials the best course of action may be to make a single brain with 2 lobes and have an aneurysm on one side and a healthy brain on the other. A lighter weight material such as Styrofoam or the green blocks used for planting fake flower bouquets may make an easier medium to work with. If you then want to coat the outside in clay you can use the blunt...

To save on space and materials the best course of action may be to make a single brain with 2 lobes and have an aneurysm on one side and a healthy brain on the other. A lighter weight material such as Styrofoam or the green blocks used for planting fake flower bouquets may make an easier medium to work with. If you then want to coat the outside in clay you can use the blunt side of a spoon to make ridges and creases. 


To show the ballooning of the blood vessel that comes with a brain aneurysm try to find a narrow tubing that you can run through the grooves of the brain to represent vessels. Cut a small hole in a part and attach on a small section of balloon material. That way, if you blow through the tubing that makes the blood vessels you could show the ballooning of the vessels in the weakened section while the other side stays healthy looking. To really demonstrate the danger, run a fluid like water through the piping using a water bottle with a small hole in the cap. Squeeze until the ballooning section bursts, demonstrating a brain hemorrhage. I hope I gave you some ideas!

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a... Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.) This success inspired other activists to demand change... African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield.

What are some tensions between men and women in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar?

Julius Caesar is a largely male-driven play. Calpurnia and Portia are the two main female characters, and they are both wives of major characters. Calpurnia is Julius Caesar’s wife. She makes public appearances with him, but there may be some awkwardness between them because of her inability to have children. He publicly tells Antony to touch Calpurnia to cure her of barrenness when he runs the Lupercal, a “holy race” and fertility festival. Calpurnia has... Julius Caesar is a largely male-driven play.

She claims that she is not naturally super...
