A Lesson from my Father
My father named me Ishmael. I suspect that he did it as a joke, somehow knowing that I would grow up to work on boats. He certainly didn’t do it because of a love of Herman Melville’s writing; other than the Sunday papers, largely for the obituaries and sports pages, he read very little. He wasn’t Jewish either. No, my father was the sort of Christian who attended church every couple of Sundays each month (ours was a run-down little Presbyterian chapel, its white paint stripped in parts by sea foam and salt air) but otherwise thought little of religion. That was probably why things didn’t work out with my mother, who thought a great deal about religion (but of course, made an exception when signing the divorce papers).

1910 Halley's Comet
Named after astronomer Edmond Halley, Halley's Comet only passes by Earth every 76 years or so. When it buzzed our planet in 1910, it sparked a lot of interest — according to Wired.com, telescope sales skyrocketed as the comet neared. Hotels even offered special deals, so people could gather on top of their roofs to watch the meteor pass.

Is Alcohol Good Is Killing Germs?
If you are not prepared to wash your hands with at least 20 seconds of soap and water, the CDC suggests using alcohol-based hand sanitizers that contain at least 60 percent ethyl alcohol (listed as "ethanol," "ethyl alcohol", "isopropanol" or "2-propanol" on the label). The FDA has also put some of these products on import warnings in Mexico, which can help prevent products that appear to violate these regulations from entering the US until the FDA reviews product safety.

How much important is the moon to us?
At one time there was no moon on the earth and the earth only orbited the sun. But a lucky co-incidence changes the future of the world. This is exactly the moment when something terrible happens and a new beautiful creation is created and an unknown object called Mars collides with the earth. As a result of the collision, some of the planet's debris and some of the Earth's particles and dust move around the Earth's orbit, and due to the Earth's gravity they come together and take on a shape that we call the moon today.

How Are Diamonds Extracted
A diamond is formed when the earth's crust lies about 150 miles [150 km] underground and is brought up over mountain mud. In a volcanic eruption, diamonds are pressed upward by joints from a coating. Diamonds are formed by pressing the earth's crust, which is why mines are found in river beds.

How Does Tsunami Occurs?
Most California coastal protection agencies go through a rigorous process of identifying tsunami hazards by marking specific areas showing the magnitude of flood areas, migration routes, and appropriate measures in the event of a single earthquake. . There are also official warnings from tsunami warning centers broadcast on radio, television, wireless emergency warnings, NOAA Weather Radio, NOAA website, and social media. These alerts come from outside alarms, local officials, messages, and phone alerts.
