February 17, 2021 / Leave a Comment
Carl Kruse Blog - Bread Image

by Hazel Anna Rogers I remember the fat white bread maker sat on the kitchen counter throughout many years of my childhood, and the smell that wafted up in the morning before I could properly open my eyes.

Carl Kruse Blog - featured image

By Carl Kruse For some years now whenever Martin Luther King Day comes around I’ve made it a point to re-read his “Letter From A Birmingham Jail.” I sit down to briefly pay respect to the man and commune with some of his thought. That, and to give myself a jolt of moral fortitude during … [Read more…]

Why Be Kind?

Carl Kruse Nonprofits Blog - Kindness

A Study of the inherence of altruism in us by Hazel Anna Rogers Why be kind? I have dwelled long over this statement, questioning why it is that I specifically choose not to allow egoism to cloud my everyday judgements. It seems logical that I should wish to advance myself and pursue my own avaricious … [Read more…]

Carl Kruse Blog - Kepler Telescope- Featured Image

by Fraser Hibbitt It is not difficult to imagine that somewhere in our galaxy there is a planet like ours. A planet suited for life. The unimaginably vast, mind-boggling space outside our solar system always makes one wonder about other life out there. And extra-terrestrial life likely begins on a planet. This is what Dr. … [Read more…]

Schliemann’s Discovery of Troy

December 2, 2020 / 4 Comments
Carl Kruse Blog - Featured Imiage

By Asia Leonardi The story of Heinrich Schliemann and his discovery of Troy, has all the elements of a children’s adventure novel and gives archeology that passionate and not very academic character that feeds the dreams of kids at that tender age when they fantasize about their future.

Captive Breeding – Culture of Guilt?

Mexican Wolves Carl Kruse Blog

by Hazel Anna Rogers Throughout history, we have knowingly driven species upon species of animals to near or full extinction. In 2018, the last male Northern White Rhinoceros died in Sudan leaving two impotent females to die, a forced downfall of the magnificent species resulting from poaching and deforestation.

Plastics to Prosthetics

September 30, 2020 / 5 Comments

By Jaymie Hilder It’s not uncommon for kids to be born with missing or under-developed fingers, hands or arms. These differences in development are often painless, but can make life hard later.
