  • Coffee: Magical Bean Water

    With roots in Ethiopia and Yemen over 300 years ago, Coffe did not grow in popularity until America made i the drink of choice. This is closely linked to the history of our own country. After the tax from the Tea Act of 1773, America rejected Tea sold by the British East india Trading Company, and went to the cheaper alternative of coffee. This brought it to the masses, and began its march towards global domination.

    Types of Coffee

    Pourover

    The most popular form of coffee in the world is the pour over. It is a process where you pour hot water over coffee in a paper filter. This process is the basis of the drip coffee machine. It yields a fast to make cup of decent quality coffee

    A famous coffeemaker that created the drip market is the Mr. Coffee. Have a listen:

    Percolator Coffee

    The older brother to the modern day drip coffee machine is the percolator. It has one major downside , of it resteaps the coffee multiple times, causing it to become bitter, it was very uncommon to drink this coffee black . Most people who drank percolated coffee have very little issue drinking black drip coffee through as it is far less bitter.

    Expresso

    currently the king of caffeine, Expresso uses pressurized water to put the coffee grinds under pressure. You also have to grind the coffee finer to allow for the extraction process to work faster. This process requires some decently expensive equipment, and therefore is not a process normally done in homes, but budget expresso makers are becoming available. Starbucks made Expresso widely available in the United States.

    A guide for expresso:

    Moka Pot

    Before the modern high pressure espresso machine, there was still a way to make a higher pressure more caffeinated coffee than drip. It was called the Moka Pot. To use it, you would fill the bottom with water, a cup with coffee, and then screw it together. Placed upon a source of heat, it would

  • Radiation: Is it really dangerous?

    “Unless you are purposely collecting and storing radioactive materials very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.”

    Since the 1940’s we have always looked at radiation as the monster that had to be conquered or feared, but is it really as bad as science fiction would have you believe? Let’s explore this concept.

    The Facts

    Many people believe that radiation illnesses are a major factor for dying of cancers but the facts just don’t back this up.

    IllnessRate
    Skin Cancer60,000-90,000
    Smoking7,000,000(1.5m from secondhand smoke)
    Acute Radiation Syndrome60-100 SINCE WWII
    Per Capita Morally of different diseases

    The Truth

    Radiation is a calculatable risk. We use certain tools to keep a safe measurements of this risk, but in most cases, radioactive material that most people can gain access too is not very dangerous. We have lived alongside it for thousands of years, and unless you are purposely collecting it and storing it very incorrectly, its not dangerous.

  • The Metric System

    The Metric System has been adopted by most of the world, but in The United States of America it never really caught on. There are some major measurements that can be made in metric. The primary sizes are as such:

    • Meter-Length
    • Gram-Mass
      • Kilogram
    • Celsius-Temp
    • Candela-Luminosity
    • Liter-Volume

    A famous quote:

    If God wanted us to use the metric system, he would have given us ten fingers and ten toes.

  • Private Jets

    Private Jets are a status symbol of the rich and famous. At the same time, in many cases, they actually make better sense for some business and celebrities.

    Normally called business jets, it is often more economical to be able to fly directly to be able to fly directly to your destination instead of taking multiple flights with many staff members. Because of this, and the ability to ship mission critical items in an instant, Business jets have become the back bone of many businesses, including performers shows.
