SUMMARY
=======
The Nature Coast State Trail (NCST) is a 31.7-mile long segment of Florida’s Statewide System of Greenways and Trails System built along abandoned railroad tracks, and designated by the U.S. Department of the Interior as a National Recreation Trail. It has two primary sections following unused rail lines. It includes historic sites such as an old train trestle bridge over the Suwannee River near Old Town and train stations in Trenton, Cross City, and Chiefland. At Wilcox Junction abandoned rail tracks cross and connect with several communities. The trail is available to hikers, cyclists, and horse riders.

Fanning Springs state park, Florida, United States (2002).
Fanning Springs State Park is a Florida State Park, located on US 19/98 in the town of Fanning Springs. It contains one of the state's 33 first magnitude springs.[1] As of 2008, decreased water emission levels at the springs technically requalify the first magnitude status as historical first magnitude.
The original occupants of the land were native aborigines, paleo-Indian people, beginning 14,000 years ago, and several of sites previously occupied by them have been located within the park. The area has been used for recreation, and in 1993 the state acquired the park. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection took over care of the park in 1997.[2]
The Nature Coast State Trail, which follows abandoned railway lines, has a junction at Fanning Springs near the state park.

Lake Waccamaw State Park, NC
A hike on December 26, 2018 exploring the trail system of Lake Waccamaw State Park. This was my first time visiting Lake Waccamaw, the largest of the Carolina bays in southeastern North Carolina. The surface area of Lake Waccamaw is nearly 9,000 acres with over 14 miles of shoreline and a maximum width of 5.2 miles, considerably larger than the other bays in the region with open water. Most Carolina bays are fed entirely by rainfall, but Lake Waccamaw is fed by Friar Swamp on the northern shore. The Waccamaw River drains the lake's southern shore, which is also abutted by the Green Swamp. While some of the largest bays in nearby Bladen County have an acidic pH below 5.0, limestone bluffs on the northern shore of Lake Waccamaw keep the pH around 6.9. This neutral pH allows aquatic life to thrive, and thus the lake has far more biodiversity than nearby bays, including the American alligator!
The primary unit of the state park is along the southern shore featuring 8 trails, backcountry campsites, and a 375-foot pier. I began my hike at the visitors center following the Overlook Trail loop to connect with Boardwalk Trail 2, which leads to the first view of Lake Waccamaw and also meets the Lakeshore Trail, the longest trail in the park. I then followed the Lakeshore Trail west, doing an out-and-back on the New Boardwalk Trail before reaching the Boardwalk Trail and the pier. This pier provided outstanding, panoramic views of all 14 miles of shoreline. From there I continued west, passing through two of the backcountry campsites near the Pine Woods Trail junction.
Beyond this junction was a lonely out-and-back on a narrow strip of white sand between the lake and the swamp. The trail condition deteriorated quickly, with swamp/lake completely covering the trail in multiple sections. At times I sank to my knees in swamp, not too pleasant with the winter temperatures! But this section of the Lakeshore Trail was also the most beautiful area of the park. There werre many splendid views of gently rolling tea-colored waves on white sand beaches, with stunted bald cypress trees dotting the shore. Then came the most unnerving part of the hike. The last few hundred feet before the Lake Waccamaw Dam was covered in slow-moving water. When the water levels in the lake are up, apparently the Waccamaw River drains the entire area, including the trail. I cautiously proceeded through this section sticking to clear moving water over sand and it was not that bad. The boardwalk over the dam was by no means a spectacular turnaround point, but I was glad to complete the entire Lakeshore Trail. To make a mini loop I took the Pine Woods and Sand Ridge Nature Trails through the campsites and picnic area, staying high and dry in the longleaf savanna on the edge of pocosin swamp. Overall I really enjoyed Lake Waccamaw State Park, it was surprisingly beautiful. But if you decide to hike after rainfall, you'll likely be hiking through the lake and swamp, not beside it.
Hike was 10.3 miles with 130 feet elevation gain in 5 hours and 10 minutes.

Have you noticed more planes flying overhead in your community that leave trails behind them in the sky? These patterns are the result of weather modification programs — also referred to as solar radiation management or chemtrails. The international program involves spraying aluminum, barium, strontium and other toxic chemicals from airplanes at high altitudes that then fall to the ground, ending up in our bodies, our water, our soil and the air we breathe.

History of the American Revolution is fascinating. Unlike the other revolutions of the world, Americans had already tasted freedom in small parts earlier, this Revolution was their yearning to have more than what they already had. The Revolution began with insignificant demands which grew during the war and continued its effect after the Revolution ended, far beyond the visions of the original revolutionaries.

2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook
Dr. Gerry Bell, lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, and the rest of his team NOAA, are predicting a 40 percent chance that the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season will be near-normal. There is a 30 percent chance of either an above-normal or below-normal season.
We can expect a likely range of 9 to 15 named storms, of which 4 to 8 are expected to become hurricanes. 2 to 4 of those hurricanes are expected to become major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher.

Transcript:
Hi, I’m Dr. Gerry Bell. I’m the lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center.
Last year’s Atlantic hurricane season produced some devastating storms, with the landfall of both Florence and Michael. Also last year, the combined eastern and central Pacific hurricane regions were incredibly active, and produced 23 named storms throughout the season.
This year's 2019 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1st through November 30th, is almost here so it is time to start getting prepared.
Here at NOAA, we're predicting a 40 percent chance that the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season will be near-normal. There is a 30 percent chance of the season being above normal and also a 30% chance of the season being below normal.
Overall, this year's outlook reflects competing climate factors. The ongoing El Niño is expected to help suppress the activity. In contrast, warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic and an expected stronger-than-normal west African monsoon favor increased activity.
As we saw last year, it takes just one storm to do tremendous damage. Hurricane Florence in September 2018 brought record rainfall which produced significant inland flooding in the Carolinas. Hurricane Michael made landfall in the Florida panhandle as a quick-developing Category 5 storm, and left a wake of destruction in its path.
These two storms alone resulted in close to $50 billion dollars in damage, and more than 100 lives were lost.
Hurricane preparedness is critically important for the 2019 hurricane season, just as it is every year. NOAA works closely with our partners to help emergency managers and communities make targeted decisions to support public safety.
Hurricane preparedness is not limited to near-coastal communities, as we saw last year with the inland flooding from Hurricane Florence. While strong winds cause damage, nine out of 10 hurricane fatalities result from coastal storm surge and inland flooding.
More than 80 million people in the United States live in areas that could be impacted by a hurricane, and only a fraction of those live along the immediate coast.
Although we are predicting a near-normal season this year, that is still a lot of activity. Now is the time to get prepared.
Start by determining your vulnerability to hurricanes, such as-- storm surge, inland flooding, and strong winds. Develop a family evacuation plan and ensure your disaster supply kit is ready. Also make sure you have enough supplies to last several days.
Write down your evacuation plan and share it with friends and family, so that you will be prepared when a hurricane threatens. Also, talk with your neighbors about their storm preparations and evacuation plans, too.
Visit the National Hurricane Center’s website at hurricanes.gov throughout the season to stay on top of any watches and warnings. Be sure to visit FEMA’s website ready.gov for additional hurricane preparedness tips.
Hurricane preparation starts at home. Start today, and have a safe hurricane season. Together we can build a more Weather-Ready Nation.

8th Grade U.S. HISTORY STAAR REVIEW
For educational purposes.
I was trying really hard to keep it under 45 minutes. If it's too fast you can watch it at .75.
At .5 it sounds like an episode of drunk history.
Please note the following:
* Fundamental Orders of Connecticut was established in 1639 not 1863
* Fort Sumter was 1861 not 1865
If you see any other mistakes please let me know. Thanks and good luck on the test!
Hurricane Season 2019: What to Expect As the Atlantic Storm Season Begins | NBC New York
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting a near-normal 2019 Atlantic hurricane season, with nine to 15 named storms.
Forecasters said that four to eight of those storms will become hurricanes and two to four of those would become major hurricanes with 111 mph winds or higher.
Acting NOAA administrator Neil Jacobs told reporters at the agency's aircraft operations center in Lakeland, Florida, that the outlook reflects competing climate factors. The ongoing El Niño, a periodic natural warming of the central Pacific that changes weather worldwide, is expected to persist and suppress hurricane activity in the Atlantic. But, warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, and an enhanced west African monsoon, both of which favor increased hurricane activity, will counter that, Jacobs said.
Forecasters noted that their outlook does not suggest all of these hurricanes will make landfall.
