Salt mine

I was ecstatic to be completely stress-free with nothing and no one to bother me. I could stay there as long as I liked, no one would miss me and no one would come looking for me. I had an overwhelming desire to discover everything about the island right then. Was there anyone living there? I hoped not, I came here to get away from civilisation. Was it really an island? From what I could see, it was, but it could be part of a mainland. How big was it? I wanted…

Fossil fuels are the U.S.’s primary source of energy, but as a result, carbon dioxide levels and pollution levels have drastically increased, endangering our lives. 85% of America’s energy is used by fossil fuels, and many of these fuels are pollutants. Carbon monoxide is one of the more popular pollutants given off by these fossil fuels. It is deadly to our body when levels are high. The burning of fossil fuels are too harmful to the environment and ourselves, therefore the use of a more…

The room itself was grand and ancient, with walls of rough hewn stone, polished granite floors, and a ceiling as high as ten men. There were eight long tables, the shortest on a raised dais along the far wall, and seven more set orthogonal to the first and extending to the entry. Sheaves of wheat and sprays of spring blooms adorned the walls, and cornucopias spilled fruits, nuts and candies onto each table. There were dancers, at least a dozen of them, draped loosely in silks of gold and rich…

World War One was the start of a new change for the world. But what really went on behind that? All of the small actions that made a huge difference. There were over 35 million civilian and soldier casualties in World War One. Over 15 million died and 20 million were wounded.

They all originated in Mesoamerica, an area including Mexico, Central America, and northern South America, although the Incan Empire spanned to the south end of Chile.

This paper will compare and contrast the religion, government, economy and trades systems, architecture,…

every single time. It’s great to not only meet different people in the industry but to also show you don’t have to be like everybody else. You can still see you in that industry even in the bible it says we are the light of the world and to be the salt. Sometimes I feel like people in the church try to stray away from a particular industry because it is a little bit darker but my whole thing is if God put us here to be light then why would we stay in places that are already lit. That doesn’t…

The United States relies heavily on groundwater as a source for drinking. As a result of contaminated ground water supply, citizens are at times forced to look elsewhere. As this can get expensive, hydrologists look for various alternatives. About 50% of the United States drinking water comes from groundwater wells. Contamination in such wells has become a major problem for those who do not have much of a choice to where they get their water supply. Hydrologists now have the tools to locate…

The measurements of our world strive to quantify the quality of our lives. The scales we use to measure ourselves and how we feel, fail to understand the concept of life itself. The tears of joy felt by a mother; the symphony of silence held by a survivor; the loudness of a murmur spoken as a prayer. Life is a composition, led by a melody, woven piece by piece, tied by our hopes and colored by our sorrows. Like darkness is the absence of light, pain is measured by the absence of happiness.…

Being a new driver and driving cross country alone was the most terrifying experiences I have yet to have. I was one of those late bloomers when it came to driving, sometimes I still feel like I am not ready to drive. I was always afraid of the being in a car, but I decided that driving was an important skill that I should learn. I also thought it would be good exercise and help me…
