Bruno Mars Set to Donate One Million Dollars to the Flint Water Crisis
Bruno Mars will be donating one million dollars to the Community Foundation of Greater Flint. He made this decision following a recent sold-out performance at Palace of Auburn Hills on his 24K Magic World Tour. The Flint water crisis is still looking for aid and help after President Obama declared a state of emergency in early 2016.

Where to Camp and How to Build a Solar Filter for a Camera to Capture the Solar Eclipse From Southern Illinois
The rush to capture the upcoming solar eclipse has the United States centerstage for this monumental event. Many spectators will want to capture the solar eclipse with their smartphone cameras. To achieve the best results, it is best to have a solar filter to protect your eyes, as well as the photograph. It will be smart to plan ahead to have a solar filter ready. Supplies will get short closer to August 21. Currently, the Craft Shop within the Southern Illinois University's Student Center is helping photographers put together solar filters for cameras. Weather Prediction AccuWeather is currently reporting
The Food Truck Industry is Heating up and Expanding Rapidly
The food truck industry continues to build with an increasing demand within large cities, as well as at outdoor events nationwide. Recently, foodtruckoperator.com published an infographic highlighting that the food truck industry is expected to grow by 4x during 2017 in comparison to 2016. Browse over their infographic below. Food trucks in New York City are so popular they have an annual competition called the Vendy Awards. This event takes place on September 16 from 12:30 - 5:00 p.m. at Governors Island.

A Map to how Renewable Energy will Replace Fossil Fuels
Renewable energy is picking up stem in 2017 with the price for solar and wind continuing to drop overall. With a majority of developed countries around the world competing to gain an edge for the next economical boom; lobbyists in our country will continue to attempt to write and pass laws that prevent the energy revolution from early adoption in the United States. Recently, The Guardian reported that wind farms are expected to cost the same in comparison to fossil fuel stations. In order to give some insight on how renewable energy will develop in our country, I wanted
Scientists Review the Impact of Climate Change with the Ice Shelf Shift in Antarctica
The Larsen C Ice Shelf in West Antarctica recently cracked and shifted by increasing global temperatures. The recent crack in the ice shelf indicates that trends in global warming are increasing overall temperatures, and creating a more unstable climate for coastal regions around the globe. National Geographic reported: 'On the Antarctic Peninsula, the warming has been far greater—nearly five degrees on average. That’s why a Delaware-size iceberg just broke off the Larsen C Ice Shelf and why smaller ice shelves on the peninsula have long since disintegrated entirely into the waters of the Weddell Sea.' Watch aerial footage from
The Solar Eclipse May Impact Solar Power Panels around the Globe
The upcoming solar eclipse is making waves before the event happens on August 21. It is clear that the moon will block the sun for a period of time that day, but it is unclear how much solar power that will decrease over the day. A recent study by Bloomberg shows that close to 7 million homes would not be able to run on the 9,000 megawatts that may be unavailable during the solar eclipse for solar power consumers. The decrease in production will impact homeowners that consume and work with solar power. Depending on what part of the
The Science Behind Fungi being able to Detect Radiation in Soil and the Atmosphere
The University of Extremadura recently published research covering the connections between fungi and radiation. They uncovered that fungi can detect and measure the amount of radiation in the air and soil. The team measured the amount of radionuclides, (an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable) within mushrooms in Europe. Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory of the University of Extremadura (LARUEX) and Science Daily reported on the author's point of view: "This quantification is made using transfer coefficients that compare the radioactive content in the receptor compartment of the radioactive contamination, that is to say in the fungi, to that existing

The Antarctica Iceberg Rift is Slowly Fragmenting the Larsen C Ice Shelf through Global Warming
A recent rift in the Larsen C Ice Shelf has been reported to be one of the largest splits between two ice shelfs in modern history. Environmentalists and more often the people within the public have been reducing, reusing and recycling products to decrease global warming. One of the big problems is the policies that major corporations follow with regulations set by the government. Over the next three years our country will be little help to set new regulations to decrease one of the largest carbon footprints on earth with the industrial industry of the United States. Our mass
