Long ago, the gods gave a kingdom to a mortal. One day, he went to Mount Olympus to thank the Olympians. With him, he brought a priceless treasure. Zeus, the king of Olympus, sent Hermes to see the mortal king. When the king saw Hermes, he rushed over and knelt at the immortal prince’s feet. In his hand was a large stone. “What is this?” the god demanded. The king replied, “Inside this rock is a new substance. May I humbly suggest you bring it to your blacksmith, ask him to shatter the stone…

4 understanding of the Suns temperatures, in June of 2013, NASA launched the IRIS solar observatory. IRIS, short for Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, was launched to use imaging spectrography on the Sun. NASA’s goal was to determine “how solar material moves, gathers energy, and heats up as it travels through a little-understood region in the sun 's lower atmosphere. This interface region between the Sun 's photosphere and corona powers its dynamic million-degree atmosphere and drives the…

better. Close late 1902, there were new commuter rails added on, one being the Queen of Valley. It was an express train running from Jersey City to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. But aside from the Queen of Valley, their most fame was from the Blue Comet. The Blue Comet train ran from Jersey City to Atlantic City, and had the features of an Amtrak Train today. The train ran from 1929 to 1940, and the use of the…

CHAPTER 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY The production of food is basically through agricultural activities and by livestock. The amount of food produced is directly related with the relationship established between the species of interest for production and the other plant, animal, microbial and parasitic biological systems that compete for resources available in the environment (Ueta et al., 1997). Among the species that threaten the agricultural production there are the weeds that,…

Throughout the 17th and 18th century women began to fight for intellectual and social equality with men. Women’s fight for equality was plagued with everlasting stereotypes. That woman was weaker both physically and mentally. As well that their roles were as child bearers and caregivers rather. They were not accepted in politics, academics, business, or military. Despite this, women were intrigued and saw an opportunity in science. Science has always been based on observation and does not…

The organic molecules needed to make RNA were already established on Earth as proven by the existence of organic molecules on meteors and comets. RNA, also could have served as a catalyst because RNA still does so today; plus, Thomas Cech proved that RNA can act as a catalyst, which won him a Nobel Prize. Not to mention, metabolism-first has major mechanism problems because the process is…

A Place to Lay One’s Head From my house up on the ridge, if the cottonwood leaves below have fallen away in the autumn, you can see another smallish house straddling the thin line of the village river. It is tucked between the river and cottonwoods on one side and the wild field that my father sometimes plants with corn, wheat and rye on the other. I started building it about five years ago right around Christmas break from school. It is a pit house so the beginnings of it really weren’t about…

Space is so amazing. There are so many unexplored areas and places humans can barely comprehend. There are suns that rotate around other suns and gases that make beautiful nebulas. There are also many planets, comets, meteors, and other undiscovered objects floating throughout it. An article called “A Success in Space” by Cameron Keady tells its readers about the marvelous mission of Philae Lander and its mothership Rosetta. Another article by the same author called “America’s New Spacecraft”…

What do you get if you cross a pig with a dinosaur? Jurassic Pork! (jokes4us.com) Most people in the world today do not realize how much they impact the ecosystem.

An ecosystem is a community of animals, people, and plants that interact with one another and their physical environment. One type of ecosystem that we take…

To me, astronomy is the study of the universe and everything in it. This includes the planets, moons, stars, comets, etc. The major difference found between Muggle astronomy and Wizarding astronomy is that the Muggle world has "laws" that explain what they see in the universe. The study of these laws of the universe in the Muggle world is called "physics". Although these laws do explain a vast majority of what the Muggles see on Earth and in the universe, it may not hold true in the Wizarding…
