With every moment that passed, dense smoke choked the air as the wildfire's flames rose higher and higher. What once refreshed our souls with purity became a suffocating enemy, slaughtering our lungs and destroying our health. These blazing flames ate up everything standing in their way, robbing every living thing of its soul and transforming every entity into suffocating ashes. The flames of the wildfire were vicious monsters, moving forward into the forests, moving to slaughter trees and animals, only stopping before their greatest enemy; rivers. People were speechless in front of this devastating natural disaster that moved as though it owned the world, turning what we breath for life into a terrible chronic disease that invades lungs and murders public health. What are Wildfires?    Bushfires, brush fires or forest fires, all those are names used to describe wildfires, large , uncontrolled , destructive natural disasters that not only affect forests and grasslands but urb...

Introduction For centuries, music has been life, accompanying man through good and bad, evolving over the years from beats to symphonies. It has been translating our souls’ deepest desires, our minds’ complicated thoughts, and hearts’ intricate emotions. Humans have always resorted to music as an escape from reality to soothe their aching souls. But what is the truth behind such joy that seeps into our minds once we listen to music? This question is what will be discussed in the following paper; the psychology of music.

This process takes place in three stages involving the pinna, ossicles, and cochlea (parts of our outer, middle, and inner ear respectively). Stage 1: The pinna channels the sound waves down the ear canal to the eardrum which in response to those incoming sound...

Introduction Plastic becoming the new ‘fish’ swimming in our seas, rivers the new garbage dumps, animals choking to death on bottles, and innocent tortoises tangled up in bags; this is what humanity has done to our breathtaking ocean; genocide of the beautiful marine life we have been granted. 75 to 199 million tons of plastic waste are currently in our oceans, with a further 33 billion pounds of plastic entering the marine environment every single year. Can you imagine how many innocent animals mistake plastic for food? Death has wrapped its claws around 100 million oceanic animals each year from plastic waste alone and this number keeps increasing. Not to mention the 100,000 others that die after getting entangled in plastic yearly. That is why every individual, company, and organization must work toward a healthier, sustainable environment. The Heart of the Problem: Plastic But to address this critical issue, the essence of plastic must be firstly understood. Plastic is a polym...
