in describing how fish "left the water and the hissing that their stiff set wings made as they soared away." This onomatopoeia helps make the description more alive and easier to imagine. "The clouds over the land now rose like mountains." This simile helps the reader visualize the movement of the clouds. “Clubbing him like chopping a tree down” is a simile. This simile helps the reader imagine the noise of the club hitting the fish. “They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.” This…
hundreds of times stronger than the most giant hurricanes on Earth," said Kevin Baines, Cassini scientist on the visual and infrared mapping spectrometer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "Dozens of puffy, convectively formed cumulus clouds swirl around both poles, betraying the presence of giant thunderstorms lurking beneath. Thunderstorms are the likely engine for these giant weather systems." Saturn’s cyclones have no body of water at their bases. The storms on that…
A waterspout is a tall rotating column of air that is connected to a cumuliform cloud over a large body of water such as the ocean or lake. Waterspouts can sometimes be dangerous to ocean vessels, especially when the waterspouts are of the supercell variety. Waterspouts of the supercell variety share the same formation as the land tornado. Waterspouts not of the supercell variety can start off on the ocean and then move onto land, this can become dangerous if the weather allows the waterspout to…
I want to wake up to a view of the sun peaking above the horizon from the second story window in my house. The exact moment our world goes from dark to illuminate. Thick pillowing clouds now becoming visible with the arrival of the sun, accompanied by an infinitely large sky painted in marvelous shades of orange, red, yellow, and pink. The colors so saturated that the intensity makes my eyes squint. I want to wake up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. A scent of freshly brewed Colombian…
unlimited amount of food and water, as well as soil. The soil on Mars is called Martian soil. Martian soil has all of the elements capable of growing food and plants. With the water vapor being pumped into the dome, this allows cumulus clouds to be formed. Cumulus clouds are most famous for the rainstorms that happen. This provides the population of people with unlimited amount of water and allows the plants to grow…
showcases designs created by landscape architects and designers from around the world. Inspired by the International Garden Festival at Chaumont-Sur-Loire in France, these aren’t your ordinary suburban backyard gardens. Instead, you’ll find sculpted cumulus clouds hovering over an undulating landscape, a serenity garden, a wall that pays homage to migrant…
I recently responded to a flare sighting south of Panama City, FL. The SAR Mission Coordinator (SMC) received three separate reports from sources they deemed reliable. Each of the three reports was extremely similar and able to be correlated with the others. The flares were described as red and above the horizon with an upward trajectory. The flare cones from each source overlapped and provided a searchable overwater area for responding units. The local military units were questioned regarding…
Too often the tribulations of Native Americans are only focused on the past and dismiss the several issues that affect modern day Indians. The narrative of Native American societies has been misconstrued and one explicit example of this is the infamous fourth grade mission project that does injustice to the persecutions and subjugation that the Native Americans faced. Deborah Miranda, the author of Bad Indians, tells the harsh reality of what really happened through pictures, short stories, and…
2.2. Pallava Grantha Script The Pallava rule in the Tamil country bought with it greater influence of Sanskrit culture. They devised a script around the 5th century CE for writing Sanskrit in the Tamil country. The need arouse because the tamil script does not have glyphs to represent a number of Sanskrit letters. The new script came to be known as the Pallava Grantha. Brahmi is the origin for Pallava Grantha, like all other scripts for native Indian languages. There is a lot of closeness of…
