YMCA

Posted On
I went to the YMCA at 238-10 Hillside , Bellerose, NY 11426. There are two pools there: the JK pool and the Small pool. I personally like the JK pool better. The JK pool is warmer (perhaps this is why it is dirty: it supports bacterial growth) and gives more privacy than the Small pool; it has stalls in the bathroom and a changing room. However, the Small pool is cleaner and deeper than the JK pool; at one end, it is 10' deep. What do you think about these pools? I had a good time there sinking down to the deep end of the Small pool and swimming back and forth. However, it would have been better if there were stalls. I would rate the pools 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. For more information about this YMCA site, go to http://www.ymcanyc.org/crossisland.

This is a project I did on the rock cycle for school . It is 1984. I am magma that consists of mostly olivine (a magnesium iron silicate with the formula (Mg+2, Fe+2)2SiO4). I am 2,000 feet below the summit of the Mauna Loa volcano mountain on the Hawai’i Island in Hawaii State. Now, the morning of March 25, 1984, the volcano is starting to rumble. The excessive pressure pushed me up to the summit of the volcano, and allows me to escape from the mantle to the surface of the earth. The surface of the earth is much cooler than underground, but it is still hot enough (2,000 F) to keep me in a molten lava state to flow down from the top of the mountain to the ocean. About a fourth of my friends go down the west side. On the next day, the other three quarters of my friends including me travel to the northeast side of the Hawai’i Island. I flow gently down the shield volcano fairly slowly because I have about 50% of silicon, which makes me move slowly. I know several friends ...
