Every year on Valentine’s Day, my school hosts something we call the “Civility Assembly”. In the afternoon, the entire school is called to the auditorium, and are presented with an unscripted, straight-from-the-heart presentation from the staff. This year, the theme was “Home”. A former Wahconah graduate who entered the marines gave a speech about the value of home to him and the results of a staff interview as to “Why Wahconah is Home to Me” was presented, among other things. While there were…

“I’m not the shoe person, you have to ask Sally,” says a Charlotte Rouse employee without even looking at me and before I could even finish my sentence. I instantly felt uncomfortable and didn’t want to ask a follow up question; for instance, “Who is Sally?” Eventually, I found Sally, she asked what size my feet were, I said “an eight please.” Twenty minutes went by; Sally returned with a pair of nines. I replied, “I’ll try these, but my shoe size is actually an eight,” and huffed, “Why didn’t…

Felicity, Is it subjective or objective? Do people strive to attain happiness by means of their own understanding of the world? Can it be compared to reality, where we try to base our view of what is real and true as much as we are capable of through own perhaps incomplete reasoning? Likewise for happiness do we all devote our time to obtain that happiness as closely as possible, according to our own understanding or is it all just subjective? Have your heard of a cliché statements such as ‘Mind…

equipped with armament. I cannot figure out why the Customs and Border Patrol chose to use the MQ-9 Reaper instead of its predecessor the MQ-1 Predator. The only viable option I can come up with is the fact that the Reaper comes equipped with the Synthetic Aperture Radar and the Predator does not, which could be of vital importance along the border while searching for drug smugglers and illegal immigrants. Another variant, the Guardian, was adopted and used by Customs and Border Patrol along…

The surface of Venus was mapped in 1991 by the Magellan expedition, which revealed evidence of extensive volcanic activity on the planet--yet the timing of this volcanic activity remains a mystery. About 80 percent of Venus' surface is covered in volcanic material. Most of the volcanoes are believed to be inactive, yet there is some evidence to suggest more "recently" activity ("recent" in this context meaning within the last 500 million years). There are no lava nor caldera (craters created…

Although the regolith represents an important economic resource (Wright et al., 1985; Taylor and Eggleton, 2001), it also acts as a hindrance to exploration for mineral deposits under cover (Anand, 2016; Salama et al., 2016) and geological mapping in general. The term regolith refers to all of the weathered and/or unconsolidated material from basement rock to earth surface including interbedded fresh rocks (Taylor and Eggleton, 2001). Tardy (1997) estimates that nearly one third of the area of…

Throughout history, men have dominated in all cultures. Today, women make up almost half of the workforce, yet they get paid less than men. This needs to change. It is unconstitutional not pay women equally. Women receive the same amount of education as men do. Women deserve equal opportunities for equal work. The debate of gender-based wage imbalance, commonly referred to as the wage gap, has been the subject of large debates; “Congress first addressed the issue more than four decades ago in…

Through time, people have come up with different ways to help improve technology and advance everyday life. People have used science to help create things that help people go faster, run more efficiently, and overall work better. One of these technology advancements was cars, but more specifically race cars. Race cars are now able to accelerate quicker, have better materials for racing, but are even safe than before. This is because of many advances in technology, tires, and materials used.…

Memories of my truck I’ve had tons of interesting and stressful experiences with my truck. I first got my truck when I was 15 years old. It is a 05 Toyota tundra. The memories I’m going to write about will be the memories of my truck breaking down. My truck was in need of a new water pump so one day me and my mechanic went to his shop with my truck to put the new one on. First we put the truck on the lift and popped the head and began taking out the radiator and drained all the coolant from the…

Ultimate Rubber By inspecting through this ad, who wonder think that Michelin is one of the world’s third largest manufacturing tire companies? Additionally, who would guess that one of its headquarters alone has 22,600 employees and operates 19 manufacturing plants in 17 locations? This ad in fact, is very rich just like the company’s facts are but more tire-wise. It is a bold and contented looking ad which sharply portrays that no other tire is as good as Michelin’s. The tire itself tries to…
