As the beginning of the new decade approached, a spark for change was brewing. However, unbeknownst to American society, this flicker would emerge into an immense flame that ignited passion, controversy, and most of all, change. These three words could be described as the ultimate mantra for the decade of the nineteen sixties. From nineteen sixty to the end of the decade, America witnessed tremendous economic, social, and political development. The conflicts in this turbulent stage included ones…

Ever since the beginning of high school, my friends and I would go onto a software application called Skype, which allows people to connect each other through calls and webcams. We would usually webcam to have that feeling of being there as if it was real. With Skype, we got to connect with each other no matter what state they were in. There was this one time where I was in AP physics and a physics final project was approaching soon. I needed to come up with an idea to make a cardboard boat…

among my favorite ‘Mission: Impossible’ films, but that type of genre filmmaking simply doesn’t succeed at the box office anymore. Gone are the days in which your film could thrive on the suspense of silence. Modern audiences want more teeth as ‘Jurassic World’ would like to remind us, and that’s why since that first film the franchise has been gravitating more toward the action and less toward the tension. I think this new film ushers in a new era of sustainable ‘Mission: Impossible’ films,…
A drill pipe non-return valve (NRV) is essential in MPD operations. A U-tube analogy demonstrates that any positive unbalance in the annulus will result in forcing fluid up the drill pipe. [4] Referred to as a float, the NRV is usually driven by a piston. During circulation, drilling fluid forces the valve open against the spring. When pumps are off the valve is closed through a combination of the spring and wellbore pressure. [2] Figure 2.7c Rig layout for MPD operations (KCA Deutag Source…
scientific names, they are all called “bugs”. Here Wallace uses definitional argumentative claims. He says lobsters are bugs. They are “basically giant sea-insects.” He explains why lobsters are arthropods. Like many other arthropods, “they date from the Jurassic period.” And although people who love bugs would not agree, they are not nice-looking. When people see bugs at their houses, their reactions are probably not welcoming. They would rather kill them or get insects out of their ways. But…
What do people do to save money? Use coupons at the grocery store. Save their change in a jar. Buy off brand products. Even shop in bulk. But many people surf right over the top of the money they could be saving when switching from a gas to a diesel vehicle. Being statistically proven, the owner and driver of a VW Jetta sport wagon will save an estimated three thousand one hundred and twenty eight dollars over five years. Or even the VW Golf TDI or Turbocharged direct injection diesel car will…
always reading! I love any books with fantasy, romance, magic, fictional worlds, and death. Several (I can never pick one) of my most favorite books/ TV shows are: Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, and Doctor Who. I love Jurassic Park, the Marvel movies, and my most favorite, Tangled. One of my hobbies is to play World of Warcraft, an awesome computer game. I am also on Tumblr all the time (like any other fangirl). I don’t really watch television all the time, only…
Introduction Postulated to be the result of either a long-runout landslide, or a structural pop-up, the Poverty Hills present a unique problem in the geologic community. Located on the western-most edge of the Basin and Range Province in eastern California (Fig.1), and within the Owens Valley basin, flanked by the Sierra Nevada and Inyo/White mountain ranges to the west and east, respectively. The hills are of particular interest as they represent an unusual combination of lithologies,…
