structures like that of wind turbines contribute to more bird deaths and bird population decline than any other factor known (Drewitt, Langston 2008). What these underwater wind farms would do is that they would almost eliminate all bird strikes and bird deaths due to wind turbine towers, with the only exception being birds that dive deep into water to get food. Even though these underwater wind turbines use the current of the ocean rather than wind, the same technology that the above ground…

1. a) One of the telepathic characters in the novel was named Michael. Unlike many others, Michael’s parents chose to send him to a real school. By doing this, all of the other kids are able to learn with him, through telepathy. As the children began to learn with Michael their lives became more complicated. The children learned that their special gift was thought to be the same level of deviation as Sophie’s six toes. From this discovery, the kids learned that they had to keep that area of…

Although the use of the coca plant dates back as far as 3000 B.C when the Incas would chew on the leaves to offset the effects of living at a high altitude, cocaine was not discovered until 1859 when "German chemist Albert Niemann first extracted cocaine from the coca plant 's leaves" (History of Cocaine Dec. 9, 2016). Unfortunately, even after the discovery of cocaine, it wasn 't until the 1880 's when research into the medical applications of the drug truly began. (History of Cocaine Dec. 9,…

D-Day Bald Eagle Times #58 Recently I was able to witness (with alot of convincing on my part) the invasion of Normandy Beach, France. This invasion officially began on June 6, 1944 better known as D-Day. However, in truth, it began long before that. It took tactical, strategic, combat, and productivity skils for this operation to have a chance at success and for the battle to have a chance at beginning even the basic phase of the operation, let alone the actual invasion of Normandy Beach and…

The story of Life Of Pi by Yann Martel has truly taught me how to appreciate the little things in life. Life of Pi shows a journey of a young Indian man named Piscine Molitor Patel or “Pi” and a Bengal tiger across the ocean in a lifeboat. This story was so good that it transformed into a Hollywood movie which director, Ang Lee tried to depict to the best of his abilities. When adapting a book into a movie, there are two things to take into consideration: Those who have read the book and those…

William Brewster and Separatist Pilgrims’ Immigration to America William Bradford wrote of his close friend and mentor, “[Elder William Brewster] would labor with his hands in the fields as long as he was able; yet when the church had no other minister, he taught twice every Sabbath, and both powerfully and profitable, to the great contentment of his hearers” (qtd. in Gragg 291). This hard work and dedication of my ancestor, Brewster, was greatly admired. The work ethic he exhibited made the…

"Hey girl, wanna be my jalebi (dessert)?" "You filthy cannibal! You want to eat me? What is wrong with you?!" Arya scrunched up her nose at the spiky-haired guy who had said the awful pick-up line and sped along. She clutched Anjali 's arm in case the creep attempted to . . . devour them. Spiky opened his mouth to explain, but Aarya turned her head the other way. "Aarya, he was flirting," Anjali cajoled. "Why do you enjoy scaring away possible boyfriends?" she continued, clearly unimpressed…

It goes without saying that African-Americans or other minorities for that matter have gone through all sorts of things. Why them? Why put anyone lower than another person? I guess we will never know. Anyone who has read “A Raisin in the Sun” have felt the heart sinking feeling when the reader finds out that the insurance money get stolen. There must have been a million thoughts running through their head like, “if he would have done what mama said to do with the money with the family in this…

Okay, I will totally admit that I am extremely biased towards my home town of Baltimore, Maryland, as a place for folks to visit. Each and every time I go back to the place that I'll always consider home is an extremely emotional and truly joyous event for me.� Much of my family has, sadly, �passed away, but my mother still lives in the concrete Cape Cod style bungalow in which I was raised for the first nineteen years of my life. It's located on a quiet residential street right on the…
