San Francisco – The Bay Area was shaken to its core Monday morning when an earthquake struck around 7:12 a.m. with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4. One San Francisco resident was awakened that morning not by the quake, but by a chunk of cement flying through his kitchen. Michael Beamer said he was eating breakfast before the earthquake began, and when it did he ducked and covered under his kitchen table. “I was eating my breakfast and the room started rolling. I dove under the table just as I…

considered as a viable means for peace between nations.

What is the effect of temperature on the chirping rate of a cricket (Teleogryllus, commudus)? Research: /3 Male crickets make chirps/song in the attempt to attract a female so they can reproduce. The crickets create the chirp noises by rubbing their wings closest to their head (forewings). The song mentioned above (calling song) is the song the crickets use to attempt to attract a female. A cricket varies the number of chirps in a certain amount of time. Using the chirps you can…

People are not always responsible for what happens to them. Andy Weir’s award-winning book The Martian states “Then one of those long thin antennae slammed into me end first. It tore through my suit like a bullet through butter and I felt the worst pain of my life as it ripped open my side… The last thing I remember was seeing Johanssen hopelessly reaching out toward me.” (p. 5) Mark Watney had no control over whether or not the antenna would hit him. The colossal dust storm that attacked the…

Inspired by a forsaken orange that sat in a North Carolina parking lot, Jonathan Bloom wrote American Wasteland to examine the growing problem of food-waste in America. I think Bloom did a tremendous job by presenting this looming issue. His numerous anecdotes pertaining to food-waste creates an innate sense of relatability, which in turn direct readers’ attention to the statistical and logical presentations of the issue. This is an impressive feat because Bloom avoided coming off as preachy or…

Pluto is known as “dwarf planet” in the planetary system. Also, it’s called the “Dwarf Planet” because of its size. It could be called a “plutoid” because it’s farther out into space. Pluto is occasionally closer to the sun than other times because of the oval orbit. Pluto has five moons, which are Kerberos, Styx, Nix, Hydra, and Charon. Because of the New Horizons information and pictures this data has helped scientists learn more about Pluto. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by an astronomer…

Chapter One “GET DOWN !” my commanding officer screamed We all scrambled into the trenches and I watched in horror as a football sized ball of lightning came smashing into his chest. He said nothing he didn’t even scream he just stared at me and fell over backwards, dead. screechers we call them, they came only a year ago in great big spacecraft 10 times larger than our own. We don’t know much about them where they came from, what they want and why us but we do know that they are killing us…

Saturn's geologically active moon Enceladus, with a diameter of approximately 505 kilometres, is small enough to fit inside the borders of India. Despite it’s small size and large distance from the, the unique conditions on this moon make it one of the most promising sites for hosting life in the Milky Way. In consice term, we can make this conjecture because there are hydrothermal vents spread across Enclelads which spew water vapour and granulated ice prticles from an underground ocean. The…
