My Slobovia native friend, Abner Scott, contacted me indicating that he was getting the opportunity to come to America for the first time. Abner has never visited America let alone anywhere outside of Slobovia. In his native home of Slobovia, he does not have a lot of things because he lives in a third-world country. I was excited when Abner contacted me with the great news of being able to visit America. After he reached out to me, I started planning things for him and me to do while he was on…

Only very few were actually settling in the county, because of the flood hazards created by the Colorado. The Colorado river provides a huge area with water. Seven states gain water from the river, which means, that the majority of the water cannot be used for agriculture. Despite this fact, an immense amount of the water is used for agriculture. Furthermore…

“Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland.” A phrase that is used so very often when in regards to the Salton Sea to the point when it is synonymous with the dying lake. Although it is catchy for a headline or two, it isn’t terribly accurate as of now. “Post- Apocalyptic Wasteland” is more of a self fulfilling prophecy. We already think of it as a quarantine zone, so what’s the point of trying to restore it? This thinking is not only killing the idea of restoration, but also physically killing the lake,…

Call it what you will. An artificial forest. A hide-and-seek campground. A scientific laboratory. Maybe even Owens Valley Long Wavelength Array. Exciting discoveries are taking place here in Owens Valley. A large array of radio telescopes, designed in the shape of trees, lay scattered across the desert floor, making it look just like a dry forest, artificially. Of course, it would be nice to play a game of hide-and-seek there, hiding between 288 distinct radio antennas under the warm sun.…

Some scientists believe that the canyon was formed by erosion. Erosion is when air, wind, and snow storms tear away at rock. Other scientist believe that the Colorado River carved out the Canyon. Today, scientists still do not agree on how the canyon was made. Another fact about the Grand Canyon is that the walls of the Grand Canyon contain prehistoric rocks. Some of the rocks are from two million years ago…

On the morning of December 26, 1996, in Boulder, Colorado life as the Ramsey family knew it would be changed forever (Ng 1). When Patsy Ramsey woke, she found a rather long letter lying on the bottom step of her staircase informing her that her six-year-old daughter, JonBenet, had been kidnapped (JonBenet Ramsey Biography 1). The JonBenet case had the media turned against the Ramsey family in a time of grief, when in reality because of the media's impact on the exposure of JonBenet´s pageants,…

8 Signs JonBenet Ramsey was murdered by her family Ever hear the story about the 6 year old pageant girl that was murdered in her own home? This mystery has shook the country for 20 years now. 20 years later, still no justice? There have been plenty of suspects, false confessions, and even conspiracy theories on what happened to this little girl. However, what I’m here to prove is that JonBenet Ramsey was killed by her own parents, and quite possibly her brother was even involved. The…

awe-inspiring natural landmarks. Since receiving National Park status in 1919, the park has seen a continual increase of visitors each year. Today nearly 5 million people flock to the park annually and the number is steadily increasing. Cutting into the Colorado Plateau at 2,133 meters (~7,000 feet), spanning roughly 446 kilometers (~277 miles) in length, and covering approximately 4,931 square kilometers (~1,904 square miles) in total, the canyon is colossal to say the least (Edwards, 1997). …

June 23, 2016 To describe “a” life event or experience that will influence my goals at Colorado Christian University…. well, at forty six years old I do not have one experience, but many that will influence my goals. Let’s start with my being a single mom! I have an incredibly intelligent and beautiful seven year old that looks up to her mom. I cannot think of anything more incredible than to finish my degree, at this point in my life, and be an example that at any age you can do whatever you…
