A small change in conditions has significantly altered global behaviors and politics. A novel, never-before-seen virus spread from the lands of China to virtually every populated part of our planet. At the onset of the disease, the medical industry knew nothing about COVID-19 and its effects on the human body.

Energy #2 - Coal
It began forming from the dead 300 million years ago. Its presence covered most of the known world. It bound itself to ancient civilizations using it to, at first survive, and then thrive as our ancestors removed it from burial and burned it to ash.

Fears of a Father
You either expected to become a parent, or you did not. In either case, parenthood is upon you. For better or worse, you are entering a realm of uncertainty where you hope for the best and pray, regardless of religious preference, to avoid anything wrong that can happen.

A Theory of Wireless Electricity. Top Story - July 2018.
We discuss the revitalization and development of wireless electricity technologies within our generation. The goal is to show that society is developing wireless technology cautiously and ethically as opposed to the blind pursuit of technology demonstrated by our past. We achieve this goal by examining the various power generating and consumer electronics applications in use or planned use, by developed nations. We reviewed the concept of wireless electricity against the following areas: political and legal issues, economics, psychology and sociology, culture and the media, environmental implications, morality, and ethics.

Lucas Group’s National Hiring Conference
We never know what life has in store for us. We remember our hopes and dreams for a job (i.e., fireman, astronaut or others) we sought to achieve as children. Unfortunately, not everyone gets to have their dream job. Instead, many of us settle for those occupations we are best suited for or most willing to perform. For those of us who served in the military, we face choices of a profession that, many times, may not be the best choices available. We only hope that our potential occupation outside of the military will provide us with a bright future. Lucas Group, a military recruiting firm, tries to give that bright future by providing military veterans with a reliable and robust option for finding a job suited to their skills.

Analysis of an Advertisement
Many people strive to maintain the benefits of youth as they age. Some turn toward mystical, costly supplements or surgical techniques meant to stay youthful. Others believe, however, that sticking to a healthy lifestyle is the key towards longevity and will make sure your life is healthy and fun. In 2001, the creators of the “Got Milk?” advertisement sought to promote the consumption of milk to a wider and younger audience. The “Got Milk?” advertisement promotes its product by successfully utilizing logos, ethos, and pathos to link the concepts of health and longevity with the benefits of milk consumption.

Cost Effective or Carbon Free?. Top Story - July 2018.
Our way of life has consequences we choose to ignore. We enjoy driving our car down the highway. We expect electricity in our homes to power the things we feel we need. What people do not appreciate is seeing the effects of pollution that comes from the production of items that make our way of life sustainable. One of the most significant contributors to climate change comes from utilizing coal to generate electricity and, as a result, some people argue for the immediate shutdown of coal-power facilities to reduce that pollution in our environment. While quick closures of all coal-power plants will quickly, and significantly, minimize air pollution, instead, it is much more important to utilize technology to refit such facilities to reduce pollution at a pace that will not devastate the economy.
