Earthquake prediction and new techniques being developed Earthquakes are a result of the earth’s surface shaking and releasing energy into the crust of the earth, thus creating seismic waves. An earthquake can be tremendously violent. The earthquakes are brought about by the abnormal motions in the tectonic plates of the earth. The study of an earthquake is referred to as seismology. An earthquake can be brief or even repetitive at times. The rapid discharge of tension within the crust’s tectonic plates transmits energy waves that travel across the earth. The study of seismology involves the frequency, cause, size as well as type of earthquakes. There are two types of earthquakes, namely large and small earthquakes. The large earthquakes can bring down buildings as well as causing injury and death. The earthquake measurements are obtained from seismograph observations. The intensity and the magnitude of the earthquake are regularly registered on the Richter scale. An earthquake that occurs under the ocean or sea can result in a tsunami. A seismometer is a device that is used to measure the impact of an…

Losing yourself Losing yourself is a point in life whereby one lives a false consciousness by pretending he is in a better position than is. This is one of the problems that you face when you do not value your life. You give other people more than they deserve from you, thereby losing your wrath. Once you lose yourself, you become useless, and you are carried out by the earthly deeds. Learn to be you and do what you can to solve your problems alone. When you are controlled by something or someone, you become more of a robot since you will be required to do everything as it is demanded from you. Value your life and respect, and you will walk on the right path. Losing yourself has a lot of impact in your life, such as following someone’s action and bearing the consequences while you are not benefiting from. Also, you became absorbed by society and termed as appropriate. Love your life and listen to the ways from which you can control yourself from being lost in the…

What is Wedding Gelato? Wedding Gelato is a strain of marijuana that is made by tactfully combining wedding strain, gelato, and gelato 33. Wedding is an insanely sweet tasting strain, that is vanilla flavored and lightly spicy. Wedding Gelato is made by combining 60% Indica and 40% Sativa for a mind-blowing combo, literally!   This beast can produce up to 25% THC, which is very powerful compared to the other strains of marijuana. The THC is a result of gelato while the sweetness is as a result of the wedding cake. The name is misleading as you may expect to experience the taste of a wedding cake. On the contrary, the herb is sour with a tinge of sweetness at the end. It also tastes like ‘earth’ and not cake. Wedding gelato produces a sweet vanilla flavor when burnt and an earthly and strong aroma.   Identifying wedding gelato is as easy as it gets. The herb’s buds are huge and normally very lumpy nugs. These are usually grape-shaped, dark forest green in color with a touch of purple and…

Rowe argument that there is no God Journal Rowe states his argument that there is no God through the following statements: There exist instances of intense suffering which an omnipotent, omniscient being could have prevented without thereby losing some greater good or permitting some evil equally bad or worse and that an omniscient, wholly good being would prevent the occurrence of any intense suffering it could unless it could not do so without thereby losing some greater good or permitting some evil equally bad or worse, therefore, proving that there does not exist an omnipotent, omniscient, wholly good being. (Rowe 1979: 336) From a theological point of view, it does not make sense that an all-powerful, omniscient, entirely good being would permit unnecessary intense suffering and evil to fulfil his purpose (the greater good) especially if that evil could be avoided and another means used to satisfy the same purpose. In other words, I concur with Rowe’s sentiments that if God can achieve his goal without inflicting pain and suffering, why then would he not use the alternative method presented?…

Evidence-Based Practices The integration of evidence-based practices in nursing has improved the clinical decision-making process. By definition, evidence-based practices are practices that solely relies on scientific as well as mathematical evidence that then form strong deductive and inductive arguments used during decision-making (O’Hare, T. 2020). Exercises that are not ideally evidence-based tend to originate from traditional intuitions, and the other routinely used and approved methods. These applications tend to depend on predictable outcomes as compared to scientific evidence. Over the past decade, nurse practitioners have been active in coming up with evidence-based practices that are not incorporated into the nursing curriculum. As O’Hare (2020) outlines, the new urge to integrate new practices is informed by identified advantages. Ideally, the use of evidence-based practices has proven to facilitate knowledge transfer and the conceptualization of information. It is widely used in five distinct points such as Discovery, translation, summary, evaluation as well as the integration of nursing concept. With improved conceptualization, there is evidence of the combination of information, especially to new practicing nurses. Another advantage that is widely accepted is the…

SPENDING A WEEK WITH ANNA It is not a typical week because this is the week that I get Anna to myself. My whole family is in Dubai for the last week of summer, but I choose not to go. Well, the choice is not really the word, rather circumstance. My passport has several issues that will take some time to fix. All for one and one for all, you would think. Everyone decides to go anyway while I am left home alone. “Will you be fine, or shall I stay home with you?” mom still treats me like a child sometimes. “He is a man. He can look after himself.” I see them off at the airport, but I have a few reservations about staying home alone. It might be a bit too lonely. The feeling does not last too long. My hour-long phone call to Anna fixes that as she agrees to keep me company until everyone is back. I mostly wake up fully clothed, but I can feel the coldness on my side of the bed. The…

Using Landscape to Solve Earthly Mysteries A new branch of scientists came up in the early 18th century. These scientists were called geologists.   The early scientist was aligned with big empires. The British geologist believed they could explain any geological phenomena of the earth. They found every landscape was made from layers of rocks. They had every reason to think so. They needed to explore every feature on the surface to understand the formation of the landscape. The major problem was how to convince the British Empire to support their endeavor. They believed rocks were formed millions and millions of years ago. One of the British geologists traveled around Europe in a quest to understand rock formation. In his voyage, he believed younger rocks were found mostly on the eastern side while older rocks were on the west side. All the evidence he got seemed to point out in that direction. In 1882, a former school teacher made a huge discovery. He found a sample of rocks with incredible details and features. He suspected their formation could be explained. So…
