Dear Principal, Hot for lava and hard for beds! We should be allowed to take a trip to the Lava Beds. The Lava Beds are located in northeastern California and are the largest formed from volcano eruptions. It is also known as California’s “best kept secret” because of its location. We should go to the Lava Beds because of education, features, exercise and leisure. A visit to the lava beds would provide a significant history lesson. The history, landscape, and findings would be beneficial to students who have an interest in history, specifically individuals who would like to study geology, archaeology and even paleontology. Due to their hidden nature, the caves do not attract as many tourists in comparison to more notorious historical sites such as Yosemite National Park, but not all children get to experience an interesting or beneficial time. However, tours of the caves do not have to be scheduled and exploring the caves would give insight for further study by collecting data and noting findings. According to research, there have been over 700 caves founded in the area of the Lava Bed National Monument. Because of the nature of the area, it is important for explorers or students to dress appropriately paying close attention to safety. Dress attire should be comfortable and able to withstand to notable average temperatures of fifty-five degrees. Even though the temperature is on the cool side, students could still have an interesting time because most schools require…

John Keegan, in his article The Breaking of Armies, explains that, previously, in the first battle of Ypres, the British Expeditionary Force aided the French against the Germans in establishing that area of France and of Flanders known as the Western Front. In the second battle of Ypres, the same forces managed to continue to hold the line in spite of intense fighting, and regardless of elevated German resistance that included chemical warfare and the first gas attack of the…

Survival Projects Gabby’s paragraph: Within Missouri, there are many ways in which a society could live and thrive. Home to over two hundred fish species, four hundred diverse bird breeds, and seventy mammal types that roam the land, swim through the bodies of water, or soar throughout the clear skies. Along with consuming the meat for nourishment, the leftovers, or scraps, of animals such as fish, could be used as bait for traps to capture other creatures which could be used for labor, as a…

In the Roman Empire, England, France, and the Middle East, ever since people have been around, there has always been conflict and war, a common theme being inhumanity. For example, in World War I, mustard gas produced terrible blisters on soldiers who were exposed to it and those causing this pain felt no sympathy. While war is still ongoing in the world, Europe is much more peaceful today than it was a hundred years ago and people in general are being taught to resolve conflict in a more humane…

Introduction Human resources (HR) are critical for effective organizational functioning (Griffin, 2006). The selection process, while essential to all human resource departments, differs when it comes to hiring refugees of the African Community Center of the Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC/ACC). This refugee resettlement agency provides a course, the Commercial Food Safety and Service (CFaSST) program, that helps refugees get training in the hospitality industry and ultimately find…

Did you know that about 200,000 people died in trenches during WW1? According to Britannica, trench warfare is, "Warfare in which opposing armed forces attack, counterattack, and defend from relatively permanent systems of trenches dug into the ground." Trenches are long dug-out ditches in the ground used to protect soldiers from new weaponry. The Carlisle Army website informs, "On the Western Front, Germany, Austria, and Hungary faced down the Allies, France and Britain over barbed-wired…

Do you think that Paul can justly claim to speak for the younger generation when he talks about the effects of the war? Personally, I think that he can speak justly for his entire generation about the effects of the war. I think this because of how large of an impact World War I had on the world. So many people were displaced, suffered losses, and died in general. The land where the battles were fought were ravaged and littered with hastily buried men and massive craters. The soldiers were under…

By 9:00 am the 36th were holding the Schwaben Redoubt and the surrounding front but if the attack was to continue reinforcements would be needed. Thirty minutes before hand, Major General Nugent asked the headquarters of 107th Brigade to advance, currently unaware of the increasing deterioration of the 32th Division’s advance to their left flank. At 9:15 am Nugent received instructions to halt the 107th Brigade’s advance but with communication lines down, it was too late and the 107th Brigade…

cap and clear any built up condensation from the goggles. Position both items so they are comfortable and secure. Be sure the eyepieces of the goggles are not positioned atop the cap, otherwise they will not suction correctly on the face. When the starter blows the whistle three times, stride up to the starting block. When he or she blows one extended blast, ascend it and take a few deep breaths. At this point, focus on packing copious amounts of oxygen into the body. Also during this…

The telephone was impractical and costly to the success of their offensive plan. 50,000 metres of telephone cable was unraveled, however, beyond the front, the cable laid on the battlefield were utterly useless, as they were instantly destroyed by shells. The Germans did not suffer these problems. Even for gunners to distinguish between friend or foe, relied on inaccurate means of communication, where British soldiers were ordered to wear pieces of tin on their back, in order to avoid being shot…
