Why do people keep getting lost during hikes in Hawaii?

It seems like it would be pretty hard to get lost while you are hiking on a trail especially with a group of people. However, just in the past month, two people have gotten lost hiking in Hawaii. One of them, Amanda Eller, was found last week after she had been out in the Hawaiian forest for two weeks. The other hiker, Noah Mina went missing on May 20th. He is said to be in the same area where Amanda Eller was found.

Because Amanda Eller was found recently, the men who helped coordinate her rescue are now helping search for Mina. Eller had become disoriented after she had gone for a run in the forest when she was trying to return to her car. Because of her disorientation she had to fight for her life after she fell off a cliff and severely injured her leg. She said she chose life. Choosing life was definitely the hard option because she had to survive two more weeks after she injured her leg.

Mina's tracks have been found by searchers and his slippers have also been found. It almost seems almost more than a coincidence that two people got lost in the same area around the same time. But the fact that Eller goes to the same yoga studio as his sister is even crazier. Hopefully they find him but it seems like they have plenty of experience already after searching for Eller.

Miss Representation: Women in Politics

Image
One profession where men largely outnumber women is in politics. It seems that in a world where women outnumber men, that should be the opposite. However, there are many reasons why women are outnumbered. No, it is not because they aren't qualified or that they are worse than their male opponents. It is because of the way the media has portrayed women in leadership roles. In Miss Representation, people expose how degrading media can be on women. It seems largely possible that the media would degrade celebrities but it never crossed my mind that the media would degrade women who are leaders. The women's job is to be professional and to better our country just like the men around them, but the media finds a way to criticize their appearance. The media does not criticize men in politics for their looks. This is part of the reason for the lack of women leadership. Women are portrayed as objects and not as independent thinkers. Because of the way media portrays women for their l

Matthew Boling breaks the 100 meter-dash high school record

Image
Matthew Boling, dubbed White Lightning, first made headlines when he ran a 9.98 second 100 meter. However, this time wasn't official and was later disqualified from the history books because of the tailwind of 4.2 meters per second that the sprinters were running with. The legal wind limit is 2 meters. However, Boling proved skeptics wrong when he ran a 10.13 second 100 meter-dash on Saturday which broke the 100 meter dash high school record. He is currently a senior and will be attending the University of Georgia next year. I think it is incredible that he was able to break the high school record for a second time after his first time was disqualified. I honestly think that it is unfair to disqualify his first time from the records if they allowed for the tailwinds during the race. He couldn't control the weather on the day he was racing. The fact that he was able to still break the record with a legal wind shows that he got the time fairly. He must have been under an extrem

End Game Spoilers?

Just last week, Marvel released one of the most anticipated films that the movie industry has possibly ever had. Endgame  grossed over a billion dollars in just the first week of its release which makes it the highest grossing film of the year. The rush to watch the movie was a result of many things including the fact that it is in my opinion, and in many other opinions, the most major film in the Marvel franchise, which is widely known in the movie industry. Another reason is because of the fear that people will spoil the movie for others. It wasn't uncommon for people to spoil Infinity War even when it had just been released, so people knew ahead of time to watch the movie when it was just released. A large reason for the popularity of the movie was because of the influence of social media as well as the advertising that was used to promote the movie. Marvel already has a lot of momentum in the industry for its comics as well as its movies. They have always had the most popula
