Patentable subject matter

So far, my SCE has consisted of organizing and preparing for the start-up of this year’s National Art Honor Society chapter. In addition to inviting members to join and having our first meeting, I have been setting up for the upcoming induction as well as composing our bylaws to the NAHS constitution. As of now, I have not been able to work on my deliverable, as that project will come into play when the activities and events of NAHS begin for the school year. When those events begin in November,…

Each individual, whether they know about it or not, has this slot in the back of their conscience filled with this dark matter that, at any given moment, can be triggered and take over the more sensible parts of the brain. It is not a matter of possession. This darkness is inside of us all from the day we are born, and it only grows stronger the older we are. It is only a matter of whether a person is pushed far enough for it to be seen. People may go their whole life without this side of them…

Dark matter leaves astronomers and physicists baffled as to what it possibly could be. Scientists design experiments to attempt to figure out what it is, but no one truly knows what composes dark matter. Physicists are so interested in understanding dark matter because it accounts for the formation of the Universe, as observable through studying the distribution of gravity within galaxies (Carnegie). Original attempts at studying dark matter referred to dark matter as baryonic, which is a word…

Conditions such as uncleared drainage canals and a swampy soil in Kemar’s landscape are favorable to mosquito breeding and habitation. 2. On a broader level, stagnant water, excessive reeds, and extreme heat can also play a role in the increased mosquito breeding. Specifically, tropical regions are typical breeding grounds for mosquitos thanks to acute water presence from rain. 3. Shanae’s illness could be caused by the increasing number of mosquitos she has been exposed to, some of which cary…

Time is a concept that for a long time was thought to be untouchable. This was until black holes were discovered. These collections of matter hold the seemingly supernatural effect to alter time as we know it. A black hole is a star that has collapsed and become so dense that it creates a gravitational field strong enough that nothing, not even light, can escape. When a star dies it leaves behind a very dense remnant core. If the core’s mass is more than three times the mass of the sun, the…

Rebecca McKenney Frontiers of Astronomy Mrs. Alburg 26 April 2017 Our Galactic Universe 1. Galaxies can be as large as a few thousand to several hundreds of thousands of light years across. 2. Astronomers, at the time this was released, believe that there are over a hundred billion galaxies in the universe. 3. It is estimated that a light year is 5.88 trillion miles. 4. Galaxies come in three different main type shapes. There are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. 5. Spiral galaxies…

Cosmos episode 13, “Unafraid of the dark”, begins by talking about the vast amount of scrolls and information that was kept in the library of Alexandria. Many of the books and scrolls were lost when the mob attacked and destroyed the library. This is shocking because of all the history of Ancient times that he's been lost due to the destruction of these books. Although we lost many discoveries, we as humans continue to learn new information about the universe. This begins the discovery of…

thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that to be dead wrong. Our universe is, in actuality, speeding up in its rate of expansion! This left scientists puzzled; it went against almost everything they had thought. Since there is matter everywhere, and that matter has gravitational attraction, so why wasn’t…

There are two theories about what happened next. The first theory is that small particles slowly team up and gradually form stars, star clusters, and eventually galaxies. The second theory states that the universe first organize as immense clumps of matter that later subdivided into galaxies. Milky Way The most known galaxy is the Milky Way which is our home galaxy. The name “Milky Way” comes from the strip of light that is seen on very dark nights. It is part of a group of about 50 galaxies…

When Scream Factory announced they were releasing Jack's Back on Blu-ray, I never even heard of the flick before. After reading up on it and finding out it starred James Spader and had to do with a modern-day Jack the Ripper, my interests in checking it out with through the roof. After finally getting my hands on it and sitting down to watch it, I came out liking it quite a bit, but was surprised to find out that the actually Jack the Ripper material was actually just the catalyst for the…
