butterflies as they grew in my stomach. When Dan and I approached the main stage we saw “Nahko & Medicine for the People” setting up.

He mentioned how the inhabitants of the island, protested the local authorities to withdraw from building another observatory. He spoke admirably of the natives, and how they came…

At 29,029 feet (8,848 meters), Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world in terms of altitude.

We did a lot of fun and spontaneous things. 10 pm one night Shelton and I came up with this great idea to watch the sunrise up Mauna Kea, so we got our things ready, took a short nap and made our way up the mountain around 3 am.

Newton’s 3 laws of Motion 1. If a body is as rest it remains at rest or, if it is in motion, it moves with uniform velocity, until it is acted on by a resultant force. 2. Acceleration is dependent on the forces acting upon an object and the mass of the object. Therefore, if the force is increased, the acceleration is increased. And the more mass the object has, the more acceleration decreases. So the resultant force (F) is equal to mass (m) times acceleration (a) (F = ma). 3. For every action,…
