But instead, their goal was to take down the the Pacific Fleet so the Americans would not be able to counterattack. The Japanese plan had failed, Aircraft carries were the most important naval vessel and on December 7th, and all of the carriers were away from…

It was said that Harvey had a lot of hate for his society and that he would act against it. He had fired three shots from a window of Texas Book Depository. Harvey had messed up in so many different ways…

What Are Cochlear Implants? In the past thirty years, scientists and researchers have been developing and improving an electronic medical device, referred to as a cochlear implant (Cochlear Celebrates, 2016). This small therapeutic device replaces one’s damaged cochlea, and is responsible for providing the proper sound signals to the brain so that one can hear. Not to be confused with a hearing aid, a cochlear implant is very different. A cochlear implant is responsible for bypassing the damaged…

On December 7, 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. There were three-hundred fifty-three Japanese planes. Japan’s attack was a surprise. The Japanese’s main target where the aircraft carriers, but they were not at base. They only attacked the ships and planes, but left places like oil storages unharmed. They also attacked on Sunday because they thought it would be a relaxed and less alert day. They were correct. It happened that the facilities at Pearl Harbor were undefended before and during the…
