Yellowstone and Plate boundaries help. there are many topics that are pseudoscience in the news.  Pseudoscience 'looks' like science but isn't. Astrology, homeopathic healing, bigfoot, the moon landing was faked are examples of ideas that may seem like science at first but once examined using the scientific method are found to be wrong.  As the great Carl Sagan referenced in his book, The Demon Haunted World, scientists have a built in “baloney detector” with the knowledge and use of steps of the Scientific Method.  Just as a review on how the scientific method works, view the Neil de Grasse Tyson video.  You see that something as simple as the mystery of missing whipped cream on hot chocolate can be easily solved with the Scientific Method as there is solid evidence that cream floats on liquids.  Therefore, you should be able to use the Scientific Method to prove or disprove pseudoscience as well.  For this discussion assignment: Choose en example of pseudoscience from the list.  In your initial post, devise a hypothesis about this topic and explain the steps that you would take to prove the hypothesis.  Also, explain how think you will be able to prove your hypothesis. You will need to reply to TWO other students as well.  Your replies should include feedback on the methods used as well as any additional suggestions of how the hypothesis might be proven. Here's the list. Remember these are things that look like science but are actually wrong. Choose one of these.

  Forum: National Parks (Round 2, Forum 4)  All Sections Here  are links to lists of various national parks around the world. Choose  ONE park from any of these lists, then answer the 3 questions below  (should be at least 2-3 sentences each). You do NOT need to reply to another student for this forum. https://www.national-park.com/list-of-national-parks-in-the-united-states/(Links to an external site.) https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/recherche-parcs-parks-search(Links to an external site.) https://www.theactivetimes.com/travel/25-most-beautiful-national-parks-world (Links to an external site.) *  You get full credit for this forum by discussing the following 3  questions AND listing the websites you used to get the information.  There are many websites discussing these parks. You'll  need to provide a list of website addresses you used (not a formal  bibliography) in this forum in order to receive full credit (10-point  penalty otherwise). Wikipedia is not acceptable. 1. Where, specifically, is this park located (aside from just the state or nation)?Describe one major natural feature of the park, along with common wildlife found there. 2.  How were the major natural features of the park initially formed? How  were they eventually weathered to look like they do today? (In other  words, why do these features currently look like they do)?  3.  What are the typical summer and winter temperatures and precipitation  amounts? How has climate change impacted this park, or what are the  major concerns related to climate change at this park (discuss the long-term changes in climate, not short-term changes in weather)?

Provide a brief example of a family, couples, or child in therapy and what boundary considerations you would want to be aware of as the counselor.  Consider your awareness of culture and possible intergenerational patterns in the family unit.  Explain a few considerations you would want to support in the treatment plan development for your family, couple, or child example in counseling.  Main posts need a minimum of one course textbook citation and one peer reviewed journal article (published in last five to ten years) or potential point reduction.  Needs APA format integrated within discussion and reference list.  Paraphrase content and avoid reliance on quotations.

 For this assignment, you have to make at least two observations on two different days. You will have to observe astronomical objects (the moon, planets and/or some constellations). You will have to measure the angular extension of one object (the moon or a constellation). And you will have to measure the angular distance from the horizon of two objects (the moon, a planet, some star your choice). Then you will combine the log for all those observations and submit them as one single text submission.    Measuring angles: Helpful resources Please make sure you don't confuse angular size (angular extension) with angular distance from the horizon. If you have trouble identifying stars, planets and constellations, you can use different apps. One of the apps I use on my phone is called skyview lite. If you'd like to know more about constellations in the northern hemisphere, you can check out this website. https://starwalk.space/en/news/constellations-northern-hemisphere

What’s your opinion on how Australia should think about and remember the arrival of Europeans in 1788?

The impact of climate change on Tampa will do fine as a project topic. First, make sure to keep the research scientific. While you may want to mention politics, economics, history, etc. make sure to keep this to a minimum. This may be difficult with this politically fueled topic, so be careful. Also don’t focus on biology (plants and animals). Instead, focus on the Earth Science behind the topic. What are the general characteristics (location, area, elevation, topography etc.), what about sea level rise, what are the current rates, how is it monitored, what are future predictions, what about coastal erosion, what about hurricanes and increased intensity, how is this related to increased sea surface temps, how are they monitored, how might increase temps impact FL weather, what about t-storm frequency and strength, what about flooding and drought, how about forest fires, how have temps changes over time, what about future predictions, and so on. Steer clear of general interest sources (about.com, how stuff works, blogs, news sources, etc.), political lobbyists and sources designed to teach children that are over simplified. Never cite Wikipedia, but you can start there and link to the references which are often credible. Some great sources of information are NOAA, NWS, AMS Journals, scientific journals on meteorology/coastal research/oceanography, and colleges and universities that have studied climate change in Florida. 

  QUESTION 1 Throughout this course, you will learn about different examples of innovation and efforts by organizations to create a culture that encourages innovations, share your personal experience with innovation. (how do you think you could use the ability to inspire and manage innovation in your career?). Have you ever developed or helped develop a creative or innovative idea for a company, team, or yourself? For example, you may have conceptualized a new product, app, or game. If so, how did it go? What did you learn from that experience? Share some examples of innovation and creativity in organizations you know. ASSIGNMENT 1   What are your current thoughts on the recommendation for incremental or discontinuous innovation? What are your thoughts on the risks and benefits of each option? How do you think the company from the course scenario will be able to compete in the marketplace? Describe the advantages and disadvantages of both incremental and discontinuous innovation. How will the costs related to each option differ? How will the marketing approach for each option differ?  submit this assignment in an alternate format, such as a 1- to 2-page Word document or a 1- to 2-slide PowerPoint presentation.

Please answer at least one of the following questions: Diamond proposes that the processes through which past and present societies have undermined themselves by damaging their environments fall into 12 types (8 relate to past societies, while 4 apply to more contemporary societies). Identify and briefly describe the 12 problems. Summarize the general trajectory of past collapses. Choose 3 categories and provide examples of each from the readings. Describe and discuss Diamond’s 5-point framework for analyzing societal collapse. Please be specific and provide at least one example for each problem from the readings and/or your own knowledge and experience, define pertinent terms. Please describe the different types of agriculture. Discuss the ways in which the Anasazi and their neighbors used agriculture and its results, according to Diamond. Please be specific and give examples from the readings and lecture.
