She is a Radiology Technician at San Juan Regional Medical Center. Ms. Barnett was recommended to me by a friend who job shadowed her in 2013. She was impressed with her knowledge and willingness to educate her. Ms. Barnett answered my questions and explained procedures as we worked the night shift. She also shared the requirements needed in becoming a

To Frack or Not to Frack Hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” is the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at high pressures in order to release natural gas from shale rocks by fracturing them. It takes an abundance of resources to create just one fracking well. Each gas well needs on average four hundred tanker trucks to carry water and supplies to the site. Fracking uses a great deal of water. Each fracturing job requires one to eight million gallons of water to complete it

a controversial technology that was originally developed over 60 years ago. It allows us to obtain oil and hydrocarbons from otherwise inaccessible underground locations by drilling thousands of feet into the Earth and intentionally fracturing the shale. The oils and hydrocarbons are collected and then refined into pipeline quality natural gas. Natural gas is cleaner‚ more reliable‚ and more abundant than other fossil fuels. In recent years‚ people in America have become more concerned with the environment

Hornfels DEFINITION Hornfels is a very fine-grained metamorphosed shale rock‚ usually gray to black in color. Mineral composition in variable but is usually made up of some combination of equidimensional mosaic of quartz or calcite along with inequidimensional sheet silicates in random orientation or sometimes containing andalusite porphyroblasts. OCCURANCE Hornfels forms when shale rocks come into contact with a hot igneous intrusion body at lower pressures and at the equilibrium temperature

Stricter government regulation should be enforced on these gas companies. Hydraulic Fracturing‚ or fracking‚ has recently (in the last ten years) been used extensively by gas companies (“The Facts About Fracking”). Fracking involves drilling down below shale formations (over a thousand feet) in the ground and pumping water‚ sand‚ and chemicals until the rock fractures. When the rock fractures it releases natural gas that can be collected at very inexpensive cost. The problem is that this can contaminate
