“911 what is your emergency? We will send an ambulance right away.” As thick red colored blood came sputtering out like a waterfall, making a pool around me. The warm sensation of another person’s plasma all over my face and hands made my body quiver. It tasted like metallic when I licked my lips for insurance that I was still alive. The car kept on moving as if it never hit a 112 pound juvenile. People hit someone and are never caught. How does someone hit a human being with their car and drive…

Who am I? I have been called many things; a bumbling buffoon, a sleepy sailor, or even a hairy hippy. I am so much more than these mere titles. I am a sponge to the world that deposits its ideas into me. I am a filter that chooses which ideas I want to follow. I am a melting pot that takes these ideas and turns them into one unique view of the world, my view.

research suggests that a disease now killing many sea turtles -fibropapillomas-may be linked to pollution in the oceans and in near shore waters. When pollution enters the water, it contaminates and kills aquatic plant and animal life that is often food for sea turtles. Oil spills, urban runoff from chemicals, fertilizers and petroleum all contribute to water pollution. Because the ocean is so large, many incorrectly assume that pollutants will be diluted and dispersed to safe levels, but in…

a quick pace. According to Edwin Thomas, “the gas a diver breathes [becomes] denser.” With increased pressure, the air in the lungs start compressing while the lungs expand (Thomas). Soon enough the lungs may expand so much that they “pop like a balloon” (Thomas). This can be avoided by breathing at a constant pace without stopping and ascending to the surface slowly without a…

Many people explore for a living and others only for personal interest such as scuba diving. There have been many theories about objects getting lost in the ocean and many people go deep in the ocean to find them. For example, the lost land of Atlantis is said to have silver and gold (Drye). Based on Plato’s writings, philosophers say that as punishment to the…

it. It takes about 2 minutes to make 12 cans of pop. Different chemicals are added to the water to remove any tiny particles plus kill any bacteria that might be in it. The water is also run through a series of special filters to make sure it is ready for the next step in the soda-making process. For a lot of people carbonation is there favorite part of the pop. How they make pop carbonated is they put water in a big machine and make it really cold. (It is better if it…

Protect yourself by applying enough sunblock before going outdoors. Keep hydrated Drinking plenty of water can make your skin shiny and beautiful. It also improves circulation of blood around…

In the past, the citizens of a teeming metropolis lived in their own filth, drank the cleanest water they could find, and subsided on whatever food was in surplus. This was just the way it was. Their poor living conditions were not due to any malicious force acting to subjugate them. Rather, their poor living conditions were due to a lack of understanding…

reaction rate it was heated under reflux. During reflux the solvent is heated to a boil and to ensure the vapors were not lost they were cooled in a condenser, which had cold water running through it. These cooled vapors condensed and returned to the boiling…

does road salt affect vegetation? Plants can become injured when the roots and the foliage become exposed to salt water (Gould, 2013). The foliage becomes damaged when water that has been treated with salt is sprayed up from passing by vehicles…
