Introduction: In the northwestern areas of Washington sunshine is a rather rare occurrence. Approximately nine months out of the year the sky is full of gigantic grey clouds filled with rainwater. During those nine months there's usually a relatively constant amount rainfall covering Bothell. Many citizens who have been experiencing the phenomena of rain for countless years are unaware that there's a difference in rainwater from previous decades. The pH of rainwater has been slowly decreasing…
paper. Technology allows us to predict tornadoes, but not prevent them. Humankind must take proper precautions when severe thunderstorms (super cells) are present. Most cities and towns within a tornado area have sirens that will alert people if a funnel cloud has been spotted or a tornado has touched down. What we do with this information can be the difference between life and death. In Joplin, only 161 people were killed because of the residents’ ability to react to the sirens and take proper…
Even with the bomb detonating in the middle of the desert, hundreds of miles away from civilian homes, it managed to shatter the windows of suburban homes 100 miles plus out. The crater from the blast was more than 600 feet deep and the mushroom cloud produced by the blast was as tall as 40,000 feet. Project Manhattan was a complete…
camps,” he suggested. “After finding our womenfolk safe, we will return here to help you continue the attacks.” Arminius thought for a moment before answering. “Thank you, father,” he said firmly, yet with kindness. “As always, you show wisdom in your ways; right now, I’m only seeing ultimate victory not its additional cost. I’ll pray to the Gods that you find Thusnelda and the rest of our women safe.” “Should the gods be willing, they will see all of us reunited soon,” Segimer said, fondly.…
underground and that news reports are saying the tornado is now an F5, and people will die if they are caught in it above ground. I put my school ring on my finger and put my Photo ID in my pocket and ran outside. I could see a big dark cloud with a huge funnel, and I got the seller door open and got into the seller. The Seller door was broken and I really thought I was going to die and I had my ID and ring on so if anything happened, people would know who I am. All I could think about were…
‘considering whether he hadn’t better run away’. The hell aspect of the darkness can be symbolized by having Oliver end up at the bottom of a hill, signifying that he is a long way down, much like people refer to hell as being below earth and heaven in the clouds. Finally, Williams declares that the city “in many minds … […was…] … so over-whelming, that its people were often seen in a single way” losing their individuality and humanity (Williams 222). The loss of humanity and grouping of…

Not all hunting methods belong strictly in one category; several of the methods covered are exhibited in other marine organisms. One group hunting method is unique to dolphins.…
pictures, and more sports, but do you know, we never ask questions, or at least most don’t. They just run the answers at you, bing, bing, bing, and us sitting there for four more hours of film-teacher. That’s not social to me at all. It’s a lot of funnels and a lot of water poured down the spout and out the bottom, and them telling us it’s wine when it’s not. They run us so ragged by the end of the day we can’t do anything but go to bed or head for a Fun Park to bully people around, break window…
These trees also exhibit the misleading name of vampire squid which are in fact not true squid and are generally more related to octopuses (Yokobori et al., 2007). There is a current interest in squids because of their large geographical range and the increase in biomass of the Humboldt and Jumbo in the Pacific Ocean (Young et al., 2013). Squids appear to be on their way to becoming much more significant in their respective ecosystems and would be well worth studying. Squid also come in sizes as…
