  • Radiation: Is it really dangerous?

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

    Since the 1940s 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? Lets explore this concept.

    The Facts

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

    The Truth

    Radiation is a calculated risk. We use certain tools to keep a safe measurement 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, unless you are purposely collecting it and storing it very incorrectly, its not dangerous.

  • The Metric System

    The Metric System has been accepted 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- temperature
    • 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.

  • My school

    I attend the Dallas School of Excellence. Our school is well known for a few major things.

    Water Sports

    The Dallas Whales are second to none in the pool. Like a fish in the water, we hold the record for most consecutive wins in diving and 50 meter freestyle. Come join our pod!

    Gourmet Cuisines

    With options of Lobster, Filet Mignon, Baked Beans with Bacon, Biscuits and Gravy, and an Ice Cream Parlor, you would expect students to be excited for every meal….. and you’d be right! Our school’s Culinary Class preps and cooks every meal in house.

    Hockey

    While you don’t immediately associate the heart of Texas with Hockey, our Hockey team is 3rd in the nation. Our biggest achievement is that every player has all their teeth. A special thanks to the schools Dental Program! Our Goalie is known for his work in the weight room (we had to buy more weights), and also being a national freestyle skater. Come watch him dance on the ice.

  • Private Jets

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

    Normally called business jets, it is often more economical 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.
