#2. Using a Port-O-John is a tragic experience for the majority of humanity. Whenever I have to use one I wait in line sometimes for ages trying my best to be patient. Then after waiting for what seemed like forever I open the door and are hit with a waft of an indescribable. After my long wait it’s quite depressing to find out the middle aged man ahead of you filled the Porta potty with his own personal scent. It’s even worse at state fairs or amusement parks when you’re forced to use the restrooms. I honestly can’t wrap my head around how someone ever thought Port-O-Potties were an excellent invention. Maybe they didn’t think through the process of their idea. The fact that a pile of strangers waste sits in the same plastic box as you well

I just started working at Oyster Harbors Club a few weeks ago, but my experience there has been wonderful. It has been an honor life guarding on the beach, and getting to know all the families and the children attending camp. I enjoy working in such a friendly family environment, and I am excited to work next summer as well. My educational plans for the future consist of acquiring my bachelors degree in biology that would help me in pursuing a medical career as a doctor. My passion has always been helping others whether it is at work, making sure people are safe, or giving back to my community. After becoming a certified doctor, I plan on specializing in dermatology. I am a very hard

Only three wolves now remain on Michigan’s Isle Royale, down from nine wolves last year, Michigan Technological University reported. This means that one of the most studied wolf packs in the world are in serious danger of extinction. Wolves on Isle Royale in Michigan have fluctuated over the past 50 years going from 11 wolves all the way to 50 in 1980. But now the wolves are at an all time low at only 3 wolves. Isle Royale is a natural habitat that should not be managed by man. Nature should be allowed to take its course, even if it means the loss of the population of wolves of Isle Royale in Michigan.
First Coast, also known as Northeast Florida, is located on the Atlantic coast, comprising of five counties surrounding Jacksonville: Duval, Baker, Clay, Nassau and St. Johns. It extends past the southern end of Anastasia Island to Marineland. The name “First Coast” originally appeared in a marketing campaign in the 1980s, and has its origins as the first area of Florida to be colonized by Europeans. Ponce De Leon is believed to have landed in the First Coast region during the early 1500s on his first expedition. In the 1560s, the French established the colony of Fort Caroline in what is today Jacksonville. First Coast is not only known for its historical significance, but it is also the state’s best-kept secret as vacationers paradise, that

Port Royal was one of the first settlements established in British North America. Located in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, the settlement was founded by the explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1605 (Parks Canada 2011). It is obvious that the geography of the location was essential in its being chosen for the fort. The land on which the fort was built is flat, but on a peninsula, so one could see any invaders approaching by water. Port Royal is located on the Annapolis River of the Annapolis Basin in the Bay of Fundy. Because the fort was on the water, both the shipping and fishing industries were supported. The water of the nearby Allains River also both supported and powered a grain mill (Parks Canada 2011). The heavy forestation of the

The sound of excitement and waves coming from the pool the sound of screaming coming from the biggest water slide is what I heard when I walked into the pool of Keylime Cove. Keylime Cove has the best pool ever. I love the water slides there they are so big and fun. First when we got to the pool of Keylime Cove my little brother asked “can we go to the kiddie pool”
St. Augustine, located in present day Florida, was established as a Spanish colony in 1565 by Pedro Menendez de Aviles as a way to reclaim Spanish control of the land and push out the French presence. Known as the “oldest continuously occupied European community in what is now the mainland United States” (Chaney 1989), it was originally the site of a town occupied by Timucua Indians. St. Augustine had trying times in its establishment as it under attack by Natives and the lack of supplies needed to thrive in the new land. From the time of settlement in 1565 to 1763, St. Augustine was viewed by the Spanish government as just a garrison and as a result didn’t participate in much trade with islands in Caribbean thus making settlers rely on annual shipments of supplies that often were spoiled, late, or not enough (King 1984) Another important aspect of the history of St. Augustine is the role the settlement played as a safe haven for escaped slaves from English
The artifacts were found 4,363 feet under the ocean. It's one of the deepest Gulf of shipwrecks to have been investigated. They didn't know what flag they sailed under. They were not sure if it was a shipwreck at first they thought that it could have been a pile of stuff. They discovered that the ship was from the 19th century and called the Monterrey shipwreck. They were not able to collect artifacts because it was not apart of the agreement but they took plenty of photos. They examined all three ships and found out that they were 5 miles from each other. They discovered it carried 50 to 60 men that all
There’s a saying, it’s that the three necessities of life are food, shelter, and toilet paper. In 1890, when toilet paper was first put on a roll, was when the world truly started. Toilet paper is the best invention ever created because it gets us clean and fresh in seconds. Joseph Gayette was the man behind it all. His invention has and will be used in the world for hundreds and hundreds of years. It’s almost as if you didn’t even leave to do your business. Imagine a life without toilet paper, I just couldn’t do it. Toilet paper is so easy to get rid of, practically everywhere, and it’s clean and effective.

Magness then gives examples of public latrines in the ancient world and unsanitary they would seem to modern man.
New Lanark was an idea of a utopia.New Lanark is in Scotland. Its founding father was Robert Owen. His idea was for this to be a perfect utopian community. This town was located near a waterfall called the Fall of Clyde. The Fall of Clyde made Robert Owen’s idea possible to use the mills to make clothing.Robert Owen is very well known for his industrialization. He worked on this idea alongside with David Dale. This is his wife’s father. Dale Owen had a lot to do with New Lanark as well. Robert Owen’s purpose in the creation of this was to find a way to get rid of evils in the world. His goal was to just make people feel better. Like for example he made it so that people didn’t have hard work . He made it in New Lanark so people would have not as long hours and the way in which people worked was less hazardous. Economically I think Owen’s end result was to make sure that these people would live fair lives and be more relaxed. Some of his ideas were similar to Fourier’s ideas. He made towns for people to live. These were referred to as Villages . He built these small houses and he
