+Why are the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder called accessory organs of the digestive system?
+
+# Thesis Statement
+The pancreas, liver, and gallbladder are considered accessory organs because they do not directly process food and merely assist with digestion.

+The video "Blood" discusses the cellular composition of blood. Most numerous are the red blood cells, which are red in color and have no nucleus. They have a bi-concave disk shape, which causes them to appear paler in the middle when looking at them through a microscope. This shape helps them fold onto themselves to fit into narrow capillaries.
+
+Blood pressure is lower in capillaries than in arteries, with much higher friction. How is blood able to flow through such narrow tubes?

+A key concept from the video "mRNA Vaccines" is how mRNA style vaccines differ from traditional vaccines. While traditional vaccines can take years to develop, mRNA vaccines are quick to develop.
+
+Traditional vaccines inject a weakened version of the actual virus, while mRNA vaccines only inject messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA makes the body produce a small part of the virus instead of the whole virus. This way, the immune system can learn about the specific antigen and create corresponding antibodies. 
+
+Since traditional vaccines inject actual viruses or virus fragments, a full immune response can be triggered, causing an array of side effects. With mRNA vaccines, on the other hand, side-effects are minimized.
+
+My question is why do the mRNA induced antigens not cause an immune response with side-effects?

+A key concept from the video "The Action Potential" is how an impulse travels down an axon within a neuron. Initially, the voltage across the membrane is about -70mV. The impulse begins when potassium ions begin to leave the axon, and sodium ions enter. Then, once the potential approaches -55mV, sodium voltage gated channel open up, allowing sodium ions to rush into the axon, causing depolarization. As the voltage reaches 30mV, the sodium channels close and potassium voltage gated channels open. The potassium voltage-gated channels allow potassium ions to rush out of the cell, initiating repolarization. Importantly, for the signal to travel along the axon, the depolarization of one section initiates the depolarization of the next section in one direction.
+
+Once the sodium ions enter the cell and the potassium ions leave, how does the system reset to its initial state?

+I have found that there is only so much you can do to prepare for a technical interview, at least in the short term. Of course, maintaining fundamentals is always helpful. When it comes to behavioral interviews, there is much more preparation work to be done. In behavioral interviews, the most important aspect is simply raw interview skills, and the best way to get good at interviewing is through practice. When I was preparing for interviews this Fall, I asked my Aunt, who conducts behavioral interviews as part of her job, if we could set up a mock interview, and she happily agreed. Importantly, at the end, I asked for feedback and took notes.
+
+In addition to being prepared for the act of interviewing, it is important to come in knowledgeable about the position you are interviewing for. For example, when I was interviewing for a job at SpaceX, I researched the different projects associated with that job. Fortunately, with SpaceX being a company in the public spotlight, there were multiple Wikipedia articles about the projects that proved to be valuable resources.
+
+When it actually came to the beavioral interviews, I was glad that I did my research, because it helped me answer questions like "why do you want to work here?" and "what skills do you think you can bring to this role?" with details more specific to the company and role.
+
+When it comes to technical interviews, however, it is important to take your time and carefully explain your thought process. Most of the time, as long as you have sound reasoning and show significant understanding, it does not matter if you get the exact correct answer.

+The ORL face database
+---------------------
+
+This directory contains a set of faces taken between April 1992 and
+April 1994 at the Olivetti Research Laboratory in Cambridge, UK.
+
+There are 10 different images of 40 distinct subjects. For some of the
+subjects, the images were taken at different times, varying lighting
+slightly, facial expressions (open/closed eyes, smiling/non-smiling)
+and facial details (glasses/no-glasses).  All the images are taken
+against a dark homogeneous background and the subjects are in
+up-right, frontal position (with tolerance for some side movement).
+
+The files are in PGM format and can be conveniently viewed using the 'xv'
+program. The size of each image is 92x112, 8-bit grey levels. The images
+are organised in 40 directories (one for each subject) named as:
+
+		sX
+
+where X indicates the subject number (between 1 and 40). In each directory
+there are 10 different images of the selected subject named as:
+
+		Y.pgm
+
+where Y indicates which image for the specific subject (between 1 and 10).
+
+When using these images, please give credit to Olivetti Research Laboratory.
+A convenient reference is the face recognition work which uses some of
+these images:
