Popping

Denver created permanent housing for 250 homeless people. In the 1990s soup kitchens, shelters, and a lot of other things to help the homeless started popping up in cities. In the 1930s they made houses for people to rent with a lower renting fees so people with not a lot of money could have somewhere decent to live. During the great depression in the 1930s there, was a rise in hobos and they would…

Pop! Pop! Pop! Our ears started popping because of the elevation and pressure change. My mom asked me if I wanted a piece of gum because of the cabin pressure. I said no because I don’t want to have to throw away later but as the plane begin to smooth out, the pressure in the cabin went…

One of the cities I believe millennials love the most is Austin, Tx. That might sound weird considering the stereotypical millennial and the stereotypes surrounding Texas. Millennials are more liberal, artsy, young, hipster, nonreligious, and open to change, whereas Texas is stereotyped as old, southern, conservative, dogmatic, traditionalist, and pious protestant christian. So, why would a millennial think anything remotely related to Texas, let alone a Texas city, would be cool? Well, Austin,…

During the holidays New York City is one of the most breathtaking places to visit. There is something for everyone to see and experience. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve the city is charged with the bustle and excitement of the holiday season. The festivities extend from Rockefeller center to Manhattan to New Jersey. Which means a lot of traffic, dreary taxi rides, crowded subway cars, or a sea of tourists and locals walking briskly to reach their destination. Must – See Events The Macy’s…

What is a hamstring strain? A hamstring isn’t a single string but actually 4 muscles running down the back of your thigh that allow you to bend at your knee. When you strain your hamstring one or more of these muscles gets overloaded. The muscles might even start to tear. How it might happen? You’re likely to get a hamstring strain during activities that involve a lot of running and jumping or sudden starting and stopping. So if you’re an athlete of any kind, you are at risk of getting a…

I still remember the day like it happened yesterday, the day I broke my ankle. I can still recall the popping sound my bone made when it snapped in two, and the immediate rush of pain that swarmed my body. This was the first time, and hopefully the last, that I’ve ever broken a bone; the incident occurred about five years ago during the summer, and is still one of the most painful moments of my life. I immediately went to visit an orthopedist, who, upon the first examination assured me I…

one person could be someone else’s whole world. Only the enemy should be targeted, but specifically the military. Civilians should not be intentionally killed. Yes, they are on the enemy’s side, but they are helpless. Killing them would be like popping a balloon with a needle. They don’t stand a chance. Instead, if you want to prevent them from helping the enemy, you can block communication centers or even transport them; however, destroying innocent lives is unnecessary. Even if the…

the pressure of the synovial fluid decreases which releases the gases present in the form of a bubble. When the joints are extended there is an increase in the pressure surrounding the joint which causes the gas bubbles to collapse and create the popping sound you hear. After you have to wait around 20 minutes to crack your knuckles again because the gases have to dissolve back into the synovial fluid. Multiple studies have been conducted to explore the question of whether or not this cracking…

the hurricane would be almost entirely gone by that day and will not appear - the greatest threat of damage shifted to a region near the Texas-Louisiana state line. The loss of power at a flood-crippled chemical plant in Port Arthur, Texas set off "popping" and fire early Thursday, and the city of Beaumont, near the Texas-Louisiana line, lost its public water supply Thursday. The plant was being monitored for further chemical reactions. Harvey's remnants pushed deeper inland, raising the risk of…
