Laura Pena - Week 13 Reading Journal lyrics

11-4 A high school student who dressed as a homeless man for a drama a**ignment was so convincing that he fooled school officials and ended up getting suspended. His name is Bodomov, usually walks to school, but his mother, Marina, thought he looked so much like a homeless person that she drove him and dropped him off early, before the main entrance was open. Bodomov went to an alternate entrance, shook the door and attracted the attention of a teacher or hall monitor, who asked what the stranger wanted. 11-5 Some people are into fast cars or sleek aircraft. McKinley Page has nurtured an obsession with a more mundane vehicle: the street sweeper. Page, who goes by Kenny, is arguably the world's most enthusiastic devotee of the machines, and he has been obsessed with them since his first glimpse of one as a child nearly 50 years ago in Newark. 11-6 Air Force Missile Site 8 - That Nearly Began World War 3 Retired top-secret installations are nothing short of jaw-dropping, and this one definitely does not fail to impress. This top secret facility was also once known as Titan II ICBM Site 571-7 because of the ma**ive Titan II missile that it housed inside of it. Located about 15 miles south of Tucson, this large 8 level installation is now a museum. During the time of its operation it was one of the most important missile sites. 11-7 Maersk Triple-E – Biggest Ship in the World The construction of ten Triple-E vessels, each capable of carrying 18,000 twenty foot containers, will put Maersk Line at the helm of change. The size and capacity of these vessels, at 400 metres long and 59 metres wide, will help reduce energy consumption and lower CO2 emissions. 11-8 A Rare Deep Sea Predator – Viperfish Some of the deepest parts of our planet are a home to rare species like the Viperfish. Earlier we did a post about other species that live at great depths in the Marianas Trench Due to its ellusive lifestyle, scientists have been unable to record exact figures of this species. It is estimated that the Viperfish can live anywhere between 30 and 40 years in the wild. A specimen in captivity has a significally shorter lifespan – only several hours.
