Biography:
QUOTE: ‘I am positive – determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do
the best job I can as a mother, entertainer, and person.’ –Jennifer Lopez
With an unbelievable drive to succeed, the world has been truly blessed to come to know the amazing woman Jennifer Lopez. Also known by the nickname of J. Lo, Jennifer Lopez was born an
American of two Puerto Rican parents. Having a Hispanic background, the chances of success
were hurdles that had to be conquered by more willpower and positivity than most would have to
surpass.
Because Jennifer Lopez is such an independent and driven soul, she is a huge influence to many.
When she entered the arts, sticking to one genre was not enough to fill her creative soul. To fully
express herself, she has pushed the limits and delved into not only singing, but acting, writing, producing and working with fashion as well. Because she has not only worked, but succeeded in so
many different areas, more lives have been touched by her creative aspirations than would have
been if she had decided to limit herself in her work.
Every aspect of J. Lo.’s life expresses to us the perfect example of an autonomous archetype personality. As can be seen
by the quote above, her personal life is just as driven as her professional life has been.

Kids love water just as much as adults do, so how about keeping them busy with a fun water activity
while mom and dad do their thing? The first new ride this year that looks very promising is a ride at Six
Flags America in Washington and Baltimore, MD. The new ride is Splash WaterFalls and has been created with the tykes in mind. Included are ladders, slides that are both covered and uncovered, platforms,
nets and of course waterfalls! Water shoots from geysers and spraying fountains as well as a large
bucket that dumps water down on those below. What fun for the little ones, while mom and dad are
lounging in the spray!
If that is too mild a ride for you, why not try your hand at something a little more exciting? How about
traveling to North Carolina’s Carolina Harbor water park where you can slide down a combo water slide
to a pool at the bottom. On this ride, you will slide on a mat first through a covered slide that then transforms into the uncovered section before you end in a pool at the bottom. This ride would be very refreshing with a touch of excitement.
In order to step up the water slide experience, why not try going for a spin on the WhipCurl Race water
slide at Darien Lake in New York? Similar to the Carolina Harbor water ride, this one takes it a bit further by adding slides that twist and turn around each other before opening to the uncovered slide section.
What fun that one would be!

There are many different types of outdoor furniture to choose from that will make the perfect setting for your patio or yard.
Many factors will determine your choice of outdoor furniture. Those factors may be as complex as where you live to the simplicity of how much space you are able to use for your chosen décor. Style of course will come into play as you will want to
find outdoor furniture that will match your personal tastes. The materials used for the furniture may play a large role in your
choice, especially if you life in an area with high humidity that may easily damage some types of outdoor furniture.
There are some questions to keep in mind as you are choosing the perfect pieces for your lifestyle. First, what will be the
main function of your outdoor furniture? Do you want a nice set for your front patio or are you looking for something more
durable and able to stand alone that will meander through your garden? Another question is how large your furniture will be
able to be. If you live in the city or have a very small patio or yard area, this will be a very important consideration in your
purchase options.
An area most people overlook when looking for their outdoor furniture is ease of maintenance. This could be a very important
factor if you are not handy with upkeep, repairs or just don’t want the hassle of having much to worry about outdoor furniture
care.
Another question is, how will you store your outdoor furniture in the colder months of the year? Not having a good storage
area will play a large factor in the type and style of outdoor furniture you might choose. Leaving most outdoor furniture in the
elements throughout the winter months will damage or destroy many pieces that you would otherwise be able to keep for
years to come.

Technology Writing:
For this article we are going to focus on mobile applications more than web or hybrid applications. So the next question you
need to ask if you want a specific mobile application is ‘what do I need my mobile application to run on?’ There are different
languages and platforms for each phone type whether you decide to create an iOS, Android or Windows Phone application.
Maybe you are choosing to work with all three formats for your audience. Each will be built and run using different tools and
languages.
Different Phones, Different Tools
Let’s discuss the Apple iOS system first. To develop your Apple Mobile App you will need to use the Objective-C language
for coding. It is a language that was first created in the early eighties specifically to work with Apple products. This language
is often considered the most difficult to learn to work with, though there is a Developer tool center available that you can utilize that has many guides, tools and tips to help you along the way. If all else fails as you are trying to master this most difficult app development language, you can easily find a mobile app development company that would have the ability to work
with you to give you exactly what you are looking for.
If you are developing your new mobile app for Android phones, you will be working with Java. This development language
is much more familiar to most of us. There is a much better learning curve with Java than you can find with the iOS Objective
-C language used for Apple products. With Java as the building tool you are using for your mobile app development, you will
find a new tool called Android Studio that may be very helpful in the development process.
Scientific Reports:
Another point of interest in the study of P. aestaurii was the discovery that unlike other forms of photosynthetic bacteria, this microbe could not utilize dihydrogen (H₂) as a mediator of the electron. The results of this finding determined that direct contact with the electron donor was necessary for the microbe
to receive the electron it utilized for photosynthetic metabolism.
Researchers have likened this process as working in a very similar manner as half of a battery would. P.
aestaurii would act as a proton acceptor within the metabolic process of a cycle of electricity. The research team decided to look further into the process the microbe used to complete the electrical cycle. In
the process, a shocking and possibly quite important new discovery involving bacterial organisms made
its way into the scientific field.
While researching P. aestaurii, an odd connection came to mind to see if the newly discovered bacteria
may also be able to work well with another type of bacteria. A common bacteria that is known to be a
proton donor in its’ own metabolic process would be needed for further experimentation. The bacteria in
question was Geobacter sulfurreducens, a bacteria that has been known to convert organic waste into
electricity but cannot photosynthesize during this process. (New forms.,) This bacteria takes in organic
waste and breaks it down while releasing carbon dioxide. As the bacteria are breaking down the waste
products, G. sulfurreducens release electrons that could then be used to generate electricity. This particular microbe was also known by researchers to be able to act as an electron donor directly to carbon
electrodes. This would make yet another ‘half’ of a battery in the bacterial world.

Fiction:
It all began about 3:00 pm when my son went to check the mail. It was a Saturday and he wanted to get out and ride his bike to
the mailbox. The mailbox is a short distance from the house, enough to make a short, but pleasant bike ride most days. Saturday, March 6, 2010 had proved to be very different though. When my son began riding up to the mailbox, he heard some dogs
killing something. When he got close enough to see what was happening, he was shocked and angered to find the neighbor’s
dogs ripping his own apart. By the time he chased the neighbor dogs away, he was horrified to find it was too late. His own
black lab, Oreo, lie dead by the driveway. He rode home to let us know.
My husband went out to see if she indeed was gone, or if we could save her. It turned out that we couldn’t. Before
burying her, he decided it would be best to come back to the house and call the sheriff to see what could be done. That’s when
things really fell apart. Instead of coming up to the house to help us with the present situation, they arrived and informed us that
there was a warrant out for the arrest of both my husband and I. I was at a complete loss, as was he. There were two male officers and one female officer that arrived to take us away as my son watched. The female officer asked me to leave my jewelry at
the house so they would not have to worry about it later. She also wanted me to call my in-laws to take care of my son. I went
into the house with her and took off my jewelry. I explained to her that my daughter, who is 18 would be home, and would be
legally allowed to take care of my son in my absence, so I did not need to call my in-laws at that time.
While we were in the house, the female officer asked me to give her my identification, so I gave her my driver’s license, which she promptly confiscated. I don’t know why. We left and she cuffed me in the front yard after making me lean
against the trunk of the police car while she felt me up for drugs or weapons. Since I have never in my life done any form of
drugs, and never have held let alone shot a firearm, this was rather humiliating. I tried to explain to them that I don’t do drugs, I
don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I have no tattoos or piercings, I don’t even drink caffeine, and didn’t understand why I was being
arrested for dangerous drugs, which is what they told me. The female officer cuffed me very tightly with my hands behind my
back and put me in the back of the police car.

Reviews:
This book was amazing! While I think it will be extremely controversial due to the philosophical aspects within it, and I don't
completely agree with every position the author takes in his outlook, his arguments are very strong. What ever side of the coin
you are on in a decision such as this, Mr. MacLennan really has some brilliant and thought provoking information that will
make you rethink your entire reasoning in certain areas of your life. The scientific outlook on the processes are amazing to
read, and were by far my favorite information throughout, though his philosophy was interesting as well. I wish the best to this
man, and hope his aspirations are quite successful in the future! Well done!
Non-Fiction:
Your situation may be caused by many different things, but all of them are actually not as large as they seem right now. From
people who are dealing with temporary financial troubles to those with life changing physical obstacles, there are always ways
to improve your situation. I would like to start this book with a brief introduction to my life and some of my own obstacles I
have faced. Although the issues I have faced and overcome in my life are probably not the same as yours, I am telling this
tale to try and inspire the hope and desire needed for you to continue on your own journey of life.
In my life, I have been blessed with a wonderful childhood. I know this is often not the case, and my trials will
probably seem quite trivial to you while you are going through many of your own obstacles. I really did not have any trials to
speak of while young, I was raised in a wonderful family, did fairly well in school though not on top of the class, and had
many friends. Then, when I was in high school my life dramatically changed. I fell in love and found myself pregnant at the
age of sixteen. This is an obstacle that I have seen more and more often as I have grown older. I have also seen the different
directions this obstacle can take a teen mother.
I was blessed in that my family stood by me during my pregnancy and with the birth of my first child. My mother
was gracious enough to babysit while I finished high school. Again, this is not an opportunity many teen mothers have.
While I was still trying in to further myself in spite of my circumstances, life did seem unbearable at times. The father of my
baby had been whisked away from me by his parents who were not nearly as understanding of the situation. With this problem, we were trying hard to keep a long distance relationship going at a very young age.
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my work
and considering me for your future project needs.
