A lot goes into living a healthy lifestyle, and it’s not an easy task. It’s highly unlikely for my peers to adopt the lifestyle of the older people mentioned in the Blue Zones; many Americans have adapted to a more modern way of living, where convenience usually trumps health. The primary reason people in Blue Zones live…

A TED talk that should have been the center of what people need to do in order to live longer when in reality it’s a prime example of mass media brainwashing. What do I mean? Dan Buettner gave a speech for a TED talk on certain “blue zones” around the world that have a high number of centenarians to which he wanted to discover why and suggest a cultural change for Americans.

It was interesting to read and see how all four of the blue zones practiced different lifestyles but had similarities in their lifestyles as well. In Sardinia, Italy they drink wine moderately, which…

Dead Zones are a big issue appearing around the world in the late 20th century. It had start to destroy ecosystems, species, and local economies. Dead Zones are areas in bodies of water,like rivers and lakes, which lack oxygen level to support marine life. This obviously depletes the amount of marine life due to the limited oxygen resources. This is due to the increase of algae life that surrounds their areas. The algae consumes the oxygen in the water to support themselves. While this is…

This lower budget means that small departments can put less officers and less vehicles on the roads. Having less officers means that the departments must break its jurisdiction into larger zones and may not be able to place more than one unit in each zone.

Rural departments are unlikely to afford specialized units meaning that bomb disposal, drug…
