Today, I had lunch with Edgar Allan Poe, the author I have been admired since I read his short stories. I am extremely honored to be chosen as the representative of MA along with Poe.

I was very fortunate to get in touch with him, and excited to meet him for the first time after I left high school decades ago. Mr. Zhao is turning 80 next year, and his health is in a good…

No matter how many time the cops are able to make it to the scene before anyone gets hurt…

Of the two men, Christian Friedrich Schonbein was a more…

Phlogiston theory The phlogiston theory states that the every combustible substance on this planet contains phlogiston. When a combustible substance is burned, phlogiston is released into the air. The people behind the phlogiston theory believed that the whenever a substance sets on fire, the fire gives off phlogiston. The phlogiston was believed be the kind of gas which causes fire. Without phlogiston, the combustible substance won’t be able to set on fire. In the late 1660’s a scientist…

industry executive and also won five grammy Awards. One thing special about keys is that she doesn't only sing as beautifully as she does but she produces and writes her own songs. Personally i think that makes her even 10x better than the rest! At j records she finds energy to finish her debut album which she’ve been working on for a while. When the album finally got released, one of the songs called “songs in a minor”,it had went platinum! Not once, not twice but five times. A…
