Trash can tell a lot about a person who throws it away as it can show what the person was doing, eating, what is the person’s life style, hobbies, etc. In my trash can, archaeologists will be able to find two big-size cups from Starbucks, an empty apple juice container, several empty bottles of Coke, one empty pizza box, candy bar wrappers, an empty tube of a Peelu toothpaste with a toothbrush (that looks rather new), plastic wrap from the sneakers, an iPhone silicone case, an empty Xbox box, leftover fruit, an empty Gatorade bottle, and other trash. ...

My First Kiss

Everyone dreams of their first kiss and what it would be like, often practicing in the mirror or on our hand, longing for someone else’s sweet lips to touch our own and wonder what it would feel like when it happened. When I was 14, my parents sent me to my grandmother’s home on vacation. I remember, it was a hot summer. It was so hot that you could feel the sweat drip down your body and there was no means of air circulating. However, I felt the boredom kick in day after day ...

Question 1

Jupiter was the first giant planet formed.

Question 2

According to the Nice theory where did the Kuiper belt objects and Oort cloud objects come from?

Kuiper belt objects come from the out edge of Solar System where huge spheres made of rock and ice that circle around Pluto’s orbit. The objects took their name from Gerard Kuiper who suggested that comets may come from the Kuiper belt. This group of planetoids is called Kuiper belt objects (KBO). The first KBO named “1991 QB1” was discovered in 1992. The plant Pluto also belongs to the group of KBO. Some ...

1.Jupiter was the first. Giant lies just beyond the frost line. As the frost line accumulated great amounts of water via evaporation from infalling icy material, it created a zone of lower pressure that increased the speed of orbiting dust particles and halted their motion toward the Sun. As a result , the frost line acted as a barrier whice lead material to accumulate. This excess material coalesced into a huge embryo of around 10 Earth masses, which then began to grow rapidly by swallowing hydrogen from the surrounding disc, reaching 150 Earth masses in only another 1000 years and finally topping out at ...

1. Meteors’ Hunting in the Antarctic Glaciers The Antarctica is a popular and unique area for finding meteors because of the extremely cold weather conditions in this area (Gonzalez). Scientists find meteorites easily in the Antarctica since the meteorites are frozen in glaciers. Moreover, these meteorites are well-preserved unlike those that fall on earth or the sea, where they are hidden among other objects. Identifying meteorites in glaciers is relatively easy. Since meteorites are dark, they are easily visible against an ice background. Moreover, many of them are preserved for years owing to the freezing temperatures of the ...

Abstract

The study investigates different aspects of the Mirphak star. The Introductory section explains that the star occurs in the Perseus constellation and is the brightest star in the night sky above the Northern horizon. The paper has a section that describes the various names and myths linked to the star. Moreover, the paper traces a Greek’s mythical story that gave the constellation its name. Under the section on properties and position of the star, the study examines the changing coordinates of Mirphak. As a result, it outlines the star’s coordinates in J2000 and J1900. Other features examined include Mirphak’s ...

The Tri-State Tornado of March 18, 1925

Introduction The Tri-State tornado of 18th march 1925 is the deadliest in the United States history. The tornado travelled from southeastern Missouri through southern Illinois and then into southwest Indiana . The storm destroyed a number of towns completely causing about 695 deaths. The tornado started about one p.m. local time in Ellington. The weather was normal, and the residents were continuing their normal business as usual. The practice of tornado forecasting was not there, and the use of the word ‘tornado’ had been banned from the United States forecasts since the late 19th century . The storm moved so ...

Filmography

The American Science fiction film entitled Evolution starring David Chucovny, Orlando Jones, Sean William Scott and Julianne Moore was released in 2001, in which the story started when a meteor fell on earth carrying alien organisms that evolved into more complex organisms threatening to take over the earth.

Relevance to the Field of Biology

The film features several significant facts about biology and particularly in evolution. In the film, the origin of life came from one-celled organisms carried by the meteor that felon the Arizona flatlands. The organism have shown remarkable rate of evolutionary change that only happens within hours. The single-celled organism undergoes the process ...

This past Friday, February 15, 2013, an asteroid came within 17,000 miles of our planet on the same day that an unrelated meteor exploded in Russia (Urry). These two events should make humans ask: Can we defend ourselves adequately from asteroids or meteors that can damage or destroy life on Earth as we know it? We do not currently have enough resources devoted to searching space for stray asteroids or for meteors that might enter our atmosphere (International and Planetary). If we did, we would have known in advance of the meteor. However, even if we know in ...

Abstract

This paper shows the major points of Dr. Michael Novak. He pointed out the origins of the corporation and how it was modified by the American corporations. The changes made an impact that was detrimental to the civil society yet very attractive to private individuals. He also defined various concepts relative to corporation. These include social democracy, stakeholders, among others.

Introduction: How a Corporation Emerged

Dr. Michael Novak makes a historical development of the concept of a corporation. He wants to show that a corporation was inherently and originally formed with the utmost interest of the people. It used to serve a very defined and noble purpose – for ...

At the turn of the new millennium, there were rumors that technology would collapse and the world would cease to exist in its current form. When this did not happen, a new theory emerged, based on the ancient Mayan calendars that claimed that the world, and life, would end in 2012. This doomsday prediction is based on claims of ancient manuscripts from all over the world. There is, however no scientific evidence that the world will end in 2012, or that the Mayans ever equated such relevance with the date, which is, in fact the last date on their calendar. ...

The Origins of Life

The origin of life has long been a subject of much scientific debate and scientists have put forward various theories to explain how life may have begun. One such theory was advanced by Miller Urey in 1953(Moritz, 2010). Urey carried out an experiment which he assumed simulated the conditions of Primitive Earth. This experiment was referred to as ‘pre-biotic soup’ which showed how organic molecules like amino acids were formed from mixtures of water, ammonia, hydrogen, and ammonia. This experiment is controversial in that scientists are skeptical about the presence of a reducing atmosphere though several experiments have suggested that ...
