Despite these efforts to prevent injury, assessing and predicting injury in athletic populations is not an easy task, as several variables need to be taken into account in order to obtain an accurate prediction. One such variable is…

In the aftermath of the 2nd World War, the United States and the Soviet Union became embroiled in a competitive arms race that saw significant military gains on both sides, eventually culminating in the development of rockets capable of striking every territory across the world ("The Real Story of Apollo 17... And Why We Never Went Back To The Moon."). The Soviet Union succeeded in putting Yuri Gagarin into space in 1961, just a couple years after launching the first satellite into orbit ("The…

deceptions that were laid out before D-Day was extremely significant in the tedious foothold the Allies would establish. Eisenhower had decided on the date of the invasion in May. It would be June 5th or 6th because “the moon will rise late and help the landing by the parachutists and airborne troops (22,000) and second, low tide at dawn will uncover the obstacles and mines that Rommel had put down…” For the paratroopers, H-Hour was midnight on June 6, and they landed without meeting any…

Beach City Public Schools. Not many people actually know what it is due to the size of it. The 225,785 sq. ft. building has been kept low for the past several months.

The Apollo 11 mission is credited for not only landing a man on the moon, but also for collecting the first samples from another planetary body (SNASM). Through the research, many theories were proven to either be true or false. Prior to the moon landing, scientists had many questions concerning the moon’s surface and even the possibility of life on the moon. Before the moon landing , the idea of life on the moon was widely accepted. Apollo 11, however proved that…

The Main character of the story is Stephen Quinn. Stephen is 15 years old and lived with his dad and grandpa ever since he was born. When Stephen is 15, his grandpa dies and it leaves him with his dad.

Because of risky flight conditions, a plane heading from Atlanta, Georgia to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in July, 2008 almost crashed during its landing. For many passengers, including seven year old Blake Hoffmaster and his family, the experience was traumatizing. Hoffmaster, now a freshman in high school, recalls the event, remembering that the plane was flying through a thunderstorm, and the first signs of a problem was turbulence, then the plane dropped 400 feet in two seconds when…

government and also the head of the Cuban Revolutionary Council. The initial landing point of the invasion was also a key part to keep the operation disclosed. The Bahía de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs) was on the Southwestern coast of Cuba and approximately 110 miles Southeast of Havana and the strong hold of Fidel Castro. This was far enough away to remain undetected and close enough to make their way north towards the capital. Landing closer would be too dangerous and if chosen to land on the east…
