If you were a batter for Australia you are expected to face 163 gram balls bowled at your face moving at 145 kilometres per hour. The cricket balls have a cork core and only in the late 1970’s that the helmet was introduced to the game. It is also a time consuming game that takes up a considerable amount of time especially test matches which last up to five days. “If

has the largest net contribution of ice to the sea in the world. In the past few decades, the pine island glacier has been melting at an irreversible rate. Studies show that the ground line of the glacier has retreated 10 kilometres and is in the process of touching a 40 kilometre retreat. The glacier has been losing approximately 20 billion tons of ice each year for the past quarter of the century and is estimated to lose four times the ice in the coming quarter. As said by a glaciologist with France’s

becoming really heavy in highly populated places. So roads are getting slower and sometimes even having a fast car can’t help much; for example the ‘Hennessey Venom GT’ the fastest legal car in the world can’t help much reaching speeds of 450 kilometres per hour. In 4000 BC people used to walk by foot until they learned to use animals such as donkeys, horses, and even camels. In 3500 BC the wheel was invented which was initially made out of wood then, soon enough in 3100 BC the sailing boat was invented

By legalising and regulating Uber there are several possible potential costs and benefits that society would face. Legalising and regulating Uber would negatively affect taxi companies since they are in competition with Uber (Cramer & Krueger, 2016). It will cause a decrease in taxi companies’ revenue due to sharing the market with Uber (Rahel, 2016). Due to more cars on the road, traffic can be negatively affected and might result in congestion. It also leads to higher CO2 emission (Rogers, 2015)

As the moon takes 27.3 days to fully complete the lunar month this means that it takes this amount of time to fully orbit around the Earth. The orbiting moon moves about 12.8o per day around the Earth. It is also noticeable if you watch the moon over several hours in a night that it will move its position amongst the stars. As the moon changes position in correspondence with the sun it creates the lunar phases. Have you ever wondered why we can’t see the “far-side” of

The men in the First Canadian Division were easy to connect with mama. Lots of them were farmers, factory workers and business owners just like our family members. In Valcartier, I met Riley during our four week training. We were buddies during our winter training in Salisbury Plain too. In Salisbury Plain, we learned basic military skills such as shooting and aiming. Riley was surprised of the little instruction of trench warfare though. Like the words on the propaganda posters, he was eager on

Thunderstorm: A Supercell Thunderstorm is an extraordinary and uncommon type of storm that can carry on for hours. These storms are responsible for most all of the momentous windstorms and hailstones, greater the size of a golf ball. Other referred names are called Rotating Thunderstorms. Supercells are regularly secluded from other rainstorms, and can change the weather conditions up to 35 kilometres away. With the severe climate, these Supercells are also well-known to produce dangerous winds and flash

The Viking boats were the best and fastest in the world at the time and could travel at a whopping 18.5 kilometres per hour and could cover over 200 kilometres per day. They were able to reach such speeds because they were the first to master the sailing techniques of the longboat. Some of their weaponry and armour were so intricately crafted that there were very few societies that
