Taken By: Corbin Poston “Dang, look at that bass!” I told my brother as he was reeling his line in. It was in the middle of fall, leaves were falling from above. I went fishing with my brother Chris, and his best friend Austin. Austin was your typical sixteen year old; he played football and flirted with every girl. Austin and my brother act the same way, that’s how they met. ”It`s perfect weather to go fishing” Chris said spontaneously. It was around six in the afternoon that day, it was…
All the mapping areas surrounding Dillon has the youngest unit of the Quaternary period, which is the alluvial sediment. Alluvium sediment is an unconsolidated deposit of clay, silt, sand and gravel as a result of stream flows in a river valley or delta. The unlithified deposits fill a basin and lump together to form ‘alluvial’ sediments. Other Quaternary depositions include talus and landslide. Talus occupies both Block Mountain and Timber Hill, while landslide only occupies Block Mountain.…

The summer of 2013 was the year I graduated. We have all been there: 18 years old , in a comfortable environment where our problems are small and plenty of opportunities. Some people have everything planned and sorted out, but most off them have no clue what to do with their life after high school. To be able to make a better decision people should therefore think twice before continuing their education without taking a break. People in Sweden usually take one or a few years off after…
I was slumped over my computer as I tried to do my semester project over the scorching summer heat. It was mid-July in the year 2025, just years after World War III started. It was over some new nuclear substance in Alaska. The U.S wanted to destroy it so it wouldn’t cause an international problem. North Korea ,an old enemy of the U.S, basically snatched it from under the Americans’ noses. Fists were thrown, words were said, and the war basically started then. Anyway, I was trying to…

Travel through a desert is in itself a variant experience similar to a sea voyage or warfare. Because one requires contesting and thriving in unfavourable…

This short was created specifically for the cooks of a household. They showed the viewers ways they could save their food grease and give it to their local general store that would, in turn, be used during battle for…
students alike would have never come to be. In similar fashion is the example of Chemist Marie Curie. Best known for her work with radioactivity, Madame Curie cast off the social convention that women were not scientists. However, had she held a frying pan and rotisserie rather than flasks of Polonium and Radium, the world would not have many of its largest advancements to medicine. A final example, quite possibly one of the most well-known individualists in history, is Confucius. As a child,…
