A volcano erupted last Saturday in Reykjavik, Iceland. Although the eruption was small compared too many, scientist fear that it may trigger a larger one nearby at the Katla volcano. Many villages were evacuated as ash spewed into the air and molten lava flowed out of the ground. The gases were the main cause of concern.

Seismic activity is not new to Iceland. It sits atop a volcanic hot spot. Scientist have been measuring its activity for some years, but still cannot predict when an eruption will occur. The activity is caused by the movement of the earth’s plates which move causing lava to flow to the top.

While man has come to dominate our planet, we still rely on Mother Nature to provide for us. One animal that is very important to us is the Bee. Bees pollinate many flowers and plants, but especially plants we use for food. The problem is that Bee populations are mysteriously declining and threatening our food supply.

Many scientists believe that some chemicals found in pesticides are causing the decline in Bee numbers. Other problems such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites are killing the bees in large numbers. While studies are being done, the problem persists and is growing. I’ll be glad if we can find a way to restore the health of these friendly creatures.

My daughter is currently in her first year of college. We were all sad when she left the house she grew up in order to move into the dorm room at school. At the same time, we were happy that she would be on her own and learning about life and the various subjects she was taking. In order to do this, she had to make a few sacrifices. One thing she would have to do without was a car.

Without a car, we knew it would be hard for her to get around. That’s why we try to help her by suggesting ways to do things online. One thing that has been successful is her use of an online service to get Chemistry help. She has had a rough time with that subject and needed tutoring. She now relies on tutorvista.com to help her with the tough Chemistry Problems she faces.

The service provides tutoring at a very fair price. It also has the ability to be done online. That means that my daughter doesn’t have to drive to a class to get the help she needs. It has worked out so well that she is also taking advantage of the Physics help she wants as well. She can take virtually any Physics Problems she has and get them answered with help by a professional. We are all proud of her and know that she will do fine at school. I’ll be glad when she gets her degree!!
