During my job as a problem solver issues are brought to my attention that have to be actioned straight away where there is no time to ask questions. A problem was brought to my attention that we had reports of a product that had infestation problems, the product in question was Bird seed. I myself had to look into this straight away as it was a problem that would immediately impact Amazons customers. I first had to locate which product this was and would ask the associate who brought this to my attention to show me the location. After inspecting the product it was found that there were small black creatures crawling around inside the bags.…
My hypothesis was that pill bugs would be more attracted to a warmer environment in comparison to a colder one. However, the results of my experiment refute my claim. Initially I thought that the pill bugs would be naturally drawn to the warmer temperatures due to the fact that pill bugs are cold-blooded and need heat to survive but, for this experiment that was not the case. On average, there were 7 isopods in the cold chamber and 2 in the warm one. At the most there were 8 isopods in the cold chamber, whereas in the warm chamber, there was at the most 4.…
Today, I worked maintenance at Temperance River State Park. I started, by doing the morning rounds, cleaning vaults, checking recycling and then campground checks. My supervisor Kenny Giannini had off, so it was just me and Chris, who was working the visitors center today. Once finished with rounds, I was given the task of cleaning Berglund Wayside. After the busy memorial weekend, the waysides got hit hard with traffic, so they needed to be checked and cleaned.…
Isopods that live on land are called Armadillidium Vulgare, also known as pill bugs. Pill bugs consume dead organisms in decomposing soil which are acidic in nature. This trait makes these organisms beneficial to our environment, by getting rid of all the dead and decomposing organisms. Pesticides are commonly used to deter pests from eating crops, and could be getting rid of beneficial organisms such as pill bugs instead. An experiment was performed to determine the preference of pill bugs in choosing between an acidic environment as opposed to basic environment.…

We all make silly and fun accidents, but none of us likely qualify for a place in Ripley’s Believe It or Not or in other books about funny accidents. Although some of these mistakes are just funny, some of them hurt businesses, while others are from rage. Sylvester Stallone did many of his own stunts in the movie Rambo 3 and he was proud of most of them, but he was not proud this time. Sylvester was supposed to use a bow and arrow to hit a masking tape X. Unfortunately, no one thought of him hitting the camera right under the X. From 75 yards away, Sylvester Stallone hit and broke the studio's $200,00 dollar camera lens.…
It was all perfect, or at least the plan was. It happened a few months ago when the school had a day off in the middle of the week. My friend Marc and I had planned to do the hardest possible thing we thought anyone could do in one of our favorite games, Left 4 Dead 2. The game was about a zombie outbreak where in each level, there were multiple checkpoints, or “safe houses”. The premise of the game was to get past all five checkpoints then to signal a helicopter so your team can escape.…

When I was in the 10th grade, my high school had begun to do something called Spirit Week. Now, if you do not know what spirit week is this is when you have a different activity for each day of the week, for example on Monday it may be cartoon day and you get to dress as your favorite character. Well, on this day it was “Throwback Thursday” and my friends and I decided that we were going to dress up as TLC. So, that day we talked about everything that we had planned to wear and we decide that we wanted to wear bandanas.…

Ever since I was little, I was always the child that got punished the most in my family. I always thought of it as unfair, cruel, and painful. There were never any positives from the punishments, in my eyes. But to my parents it was a way to help me grow and to be a better person. I didn’t realize this until these past years, when I got into highschool.…
