The Slip 'N Slide

Categories: General | Pubby Cash Received:  0

The Slip ‘N Slide is a highly popular toy that allows kids to skid through backyards soaking with delight in their very own world of water. This widespread toy was invented in 1960, by a man named Robert Carrier. It occurred when Robert arrived home and noticed that his kids were attempting to slide on concrete coated with water because it was too hot. the next day, Robert brought home a 50-foot roll of Naugahyde, which he unraveled on the driveway. The vinyl-coated, waterproof fabric was a vast improvement—slicker and safer—over the perilous concrete. By customizing it a little more, the Slip 'N Slide was invented. Before they knew it, there were a bunch of Slip 'N Slide commercials. They were still black and white, but you could easily tell that kids were having a ton of fun while flying across their lawn. By 2011, over thirty million Silp 'N Slides were marketed! Well, that is it for this article and I hope you learned something new!...  Read more

Jordan or James

Categories: Sports | Pubby Cash Received:  0

There are many exceptional basketball stars, but have you ever wondered who deserves to be at the top? Many agree that the two greatest basketball players are either Michael Jordan or LeBron James. They say this because both of them have all-around talents at any part of the court. By looking at the statistics, Jordan scored 30.1 points per game, while James averages 27.1. However, James has averaged 7.4 rebounds a game and 7.4 assists, while Jordan averaged 6.2 and 5.3 in those categories. But in my opinion, rebounds and assists are more essential for basketball, because basketball is a team game. James has the occasional ability to make his teammates better. Picking between James and Jordan is like picking between pizza and burgers. Pizza and burgers are both indeed savory and mouth-watering. But overall, James is better than Jordan in my judgment....  Read more

Examination shows that polar bears in captivity have up to eighteen thousand times more constrained space inside zoos than they do in nature.

Face-to-Face (F2F) or Distance Learning for Fall 2020

Categories: Education | Pubby Cash Received:  0

The Fall semester is approaching, but some schools are still undecided on the appropriate approaches of teaching, at least for IUP. It should be a no brainer by just looking at the ways that Harvard and Cambridge have decided. These high-ranked research universities all go with distance learning to protect their faculty and students. I would say this is a smart and responsible decision. However, when it comes to the low-ranked universities, economic complexities will sway the decision towards F2F instruction, because the administration is afraid that distance learning will decrease the enrollment and harm the university income. Since the high-ranked research universities usually have large endowment, we can see the correct decision can be made when there are no financial stresses. The question is "money and health, which one is more important? " For the unprecedented virus that people still know little about, it is not just a health issue, it could take your life if your genes (not ages) have decided you are the most vulnerable group of persons to this virus. For people who were infected and recovered, the sequela are still unknown and the health impact could be life-long. The most recent update from IUP was that new freshmen are required to be on campus and the given reason is that college life acclimation. It is obvious that it is not the real reason. In the meanwhile, faculty members are required to teach no more than 80% of their courses online while at least 20% has to be F2F, unless a course has been applied for as a distance learning course. Although faculty members have expressed deep concerns through their union, their voices appear negligible. Given current circumstances, It is really tough for me to decide how my five courses are delivered this coming Fall semester. ...  Read more
