In seventh grade, one of my teachers decided to sponsor the county technology competition, in the form of a club. Anyone who wished to join could. I also convinced two of my friends to join, forming a team of three. After some debate and discussion, we decided to enter into the robotics category, and set to work. However, a number of mistakes caused me, and the whole team, to fail our objective. The first was time management. At the beginning of the process, we underestimated the time that would…

The author of “Anomaly and the Emergence of Scientific Discoveries” discusses the difficulty that arises when trying to acknowledge an idea as a discovery. The questions raised are: when something is discovered, who made the discovery, is there record of who/when a discovery was made, and when is an idea actually a discovery. Kuhn advances the idea of a discovery by connecting it to the creation of a scientific revolution. He discusses that “a discovery begins with the awareness of anomaly”…

management plan, the four main sections generally include: the project overview, project organization, project management, and the schedule (CSU-Global, 2013). The sections are then broken down further into subsections, which create a more manageable structure for all stakeholders involved. A project management plan for the National MPS Society to create a new program for a non-profit organization, run by minimal staff, and an all volunteer board, must be extremely well thought out. This tool…
An entity relationship diagram is a graphical representation of conceptual data organized into a specific and well-defined model.. The objective of an entity relationship diagram is to construct a simple, easy to comprehend, and accessible presented data model consisting of entities, attributes, relationships and cardinalities. The model serves as an instrumental tool for database design, where the model can facilitate communication between the system analyst and the end-user during the…

In her book The Sixth Extinction, Elizabeth Kolbert writes that there have been five mass extinctions in the history of planet earth. She asserts that currently the earth is on the precipice of a sixth mass extinction. In contrast with the previous five, according to Kolbert this sixth extinction is almost entirely caused by humans and our exploitation of the earth. In each of the book’s thirteen chapters, Kolbert highlights a particular species that is now extinct and analyzes the causes and…
Stage 1: What caused the Chicxulub Impactor to enter the Earth’s atmosphere and hit Earth (2) About 65 million years ago an asteroid that is roughly 10 kilometres across, hit Earth on the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. It caused a huge explosion and left a crater that is about 185 kilometres across. This asteroid impact is commonly known to be the reason for the extinction of three quarters of the dinosaurs. (4) The asteroid soared through the sky at more than 40 times the speed of…
This article is intended to discuss the causes that led to the death of the dinosaurs. It mainly exposes the two alternative hypotheses that might have caused this mass extinction by explaining the main reasoning behind each of these premises. The author exposes the points of views of different scientists and geologists in regards to the death of the dinosaurs, which- somehow- remains one of the most heated and contested “battles in science”. Particularly, the paper explains the stance of one…
