Reality television is one of the most popular genres featured on broadcast media. Although its name implies an honest and impartial story, reality television is one of the most-edited and manipulated forms of television, where producers decide what is seen by the audience through their careful selection of music, footage, camera angles, and lighting among many other important features. Through their design choices and careful edits, producers are able to create narratives and meanings that otherwise

subspecies, R. r. halicoetes, and southern subspecies, R. r. raviventris both of which reside in Northern California around the Bay area. The northern subspecies can be found in the San Pablo and Suisun marshes of California, whereas the southern variant reside in the marshes of Corte Madera, Richmond and South San Francisco Bay. Salt marsh harvest mice heavily depend on dense coverage of the pickleweed (Salicornia virginica)--their preferred habitat. In marshes with salt-tolerant plants, the

San Francisco, a thriving city in the early 1900s. Gaining its wealth from the gold rush that previously happened in 1849. San Francisco gained 5 billion dollars from land and gold. San Francisco was at a very good economical place, being a rapidly growing city with a large population. The earthquake, was more of a when instead of an if, meaning that the earthquake was inevitable. Of course, due to today's technology and understanding over earthquakes, we know that they were bound to happen, but

Introduction The state of California is home to notorious fault lines such as the infamous San Andreas fault. In Northern California, there are six significant Bay Area active faults: Calaveras, Concord-Green Valley, Greenville, Hayward, Rodgers Creek, and San Gregorio Fault [1]. After the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, propagating from the Santa Cruz Mountains, caused approximately $6 Billion dollars in damages [2]. Many infrastructure agencies altered their design and operations standards to

I have only experienced an earthquake. I live in Visalia, California which is the central part of the state. The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends approximately 750 miles through California. Los Angeles shares 35 miles of the Fault running through the city. When I moved to California I was told that the central valley (Visalia) very rarely experiences earthquakes. It was an evening that I realized that I was most definitely experiencing an earthquake. At the time

Denver. I am from San Francisco island about 300 miles off the coast of mainland United States. The name is misleading, it isn’t actually an island. It used to be part of the rest of the United States but when the water started to rise it along with a couple other large cities near the coast built a water wall. And then they built another wall and eventually built one thousand feet high all the way around the city so when the water rose to cover most of what used to be California, San Francisco survived

HISTORY Located at the northern end of the San Francisco Peninsula, a three-mile-long strait connects the San Francisco Bay to the nearby Pacific Ocean. This strait (named “Golden Gate” by U.S. Army Captain John Freemont in 1846) separates the cities of San Francisco and Marin. Due to its location near the Pacific, the strait is known for its strong tidal forces; as well as gale-force winds and dense fogs. Because of these conditions, during the early twentieth century, ferries provided the only

Beyond the Golden Gate Bridge lies the Silicon Valley, a place of shimmering glass buildings, fascinating autonomous vehicles, tech nerds galore, and endless possibilities according to most people. However, the golden gates leading to the technology capital of the world can generally be found locked for anyone who does not fit the stereotype - a stereotype of unsociable, caucasian males. While the names of “Mark Zuckerberg”, “Elon Musk”, and “Tim Cook” are constantly heard across the world as the

Earthquake Essay Did you know in 1906 an earthquake with a 7.1 on the Richter scale hit San Francisco? Not only that the damages were huge, the fire resulted from the earthquake burned down twenty-eight thousand buildings alone! But, the earthquake made around two hundred and twenty-five thousand residents homeless which was more than half the amount of residents in San Francisco at the time. Also, if we presume that there were four people in a house then that’s fifty-six thousand
