AC vs. DC
In the 1880s, the War of the Currents began. Thomas Edison developed direct current, or DC, a type of electricity that flows in one direction. By 1887, DC was in use around the United States. It had some drawbacks, though. Converting it to lower or higher voltages was difficult; that is, the current's force couldn't be changed easily. Transmitted at the low voltage needed for use in homes and businesses, it lost power after traveling only a mile. Meanwhile, Nikola Tesla was working with alternating current, or AC. AC reverses direction many times per second and can be changed to different voltages. At high voltage, it can be transmitted efficiently, traveling hundreds of miles with little energy loss. Because of its advantages, AC triumphed by the end of the nineteenth century.

What is the main idea of the passage?

AC has distinct advantages over DC, so AC won the War of the Currents.

I need some advice for a story I'm writing for English class...
It was a dark quiet night, Halloween night when Celestia screamed. Celestia was a dragon human hybrid with dark blue hair and kind light blue eyes, dark blue wings, a dark blue tail, her hair was always in what looked like two buns on top of her head the little bit of hair that was too short-covering her ears with her bangs shadowing her face, she was in a witch costume that was black dark purple and dark pink with a black hat. Nikki came running her longish white and purple hair in a messy bun, she was wearing her mad scientist costume but the fake blood looked suspiciously realistic. Wannabe ran in looking like the human form of sans along with Angel a few feet behind him dressed as a fairy. Nikki stood staring trying not to cry. Nikki’s friend Emery came in wearing her police uniform on and blue blonde hair up in a ponytail along with Rihanna in her outfit that she wore at her concert the night before, the light baby blue costume made her light pink eyes stand out and her fox tail nearly invisible under a big black bow, her hair in ponytails right behind her fox ears. The two stared in horror at what seemed to have happened, one of their friends had been brutally murdered but their face was unrecognizable from the damage. Nikki stood up and took ad headcount matching names with faces until she realized who it was. “I’m going to find the person who did this and make them pay,” Nikki said in a dark evil angry voice, she was mad and near her breaking point. Nikki left the room unable to look at her friend lying there dead while everyone else looked at each other. “Kind convenient YOU found him like this Celie…” Rihanna said to Celestia glaring at her, the two never liked each other and were always fighting. “First of all, I couldn’t handle the blood. Second of all, that’s my friend! Why would I hurt him!?!?” Celestia snapped, angry she was accused of the crime. “You found him like this. That's a little suspicious don’t you think?” Rihanna said giving Celestia looks. “I hate to say this but Nikki could have been faking the blood on her costume looks a bit too realistic…” Angel said her voice trailing off, she hated to accuse Nikki but at this point, they were all suspects except for Angel. She had said before that she'd never been able to kill someone and get away with it she’d end up admitting she did it. Nikki came back in a completely different costume, her Sara Sanderson costume to be exact. “Why did you change costumes?” Angel questioned Nikki, changing costumes because there was what looked like blood on the other was suspicious. “You act like I can choose to wear only one costume, heck I’ll probably end up wearing a cosplay before we figure out who did this,” Nikki answered, it was true Nikki tended to wear up to ten outfits a day so why would today be any different? Emery glared at Nikki, she didn’t believe her story. “Seems pretty convenient she had to change costumes so soon...” She thought suspecting Nikki was hiding something. “Let’s do this Danganronpa style!” Angel shouted, she had always thought how they did the class trials on that anime and in the game was cool. Everyone got to a podium and glared at one another. “I was passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters,” Rihanna said then turning her head to Celestia who was on her left. “I was in the Bathroom,” Celestia said, nobody was going to question her now. “I was fixing my fursuit, one of the ears fell off,” Nikki said with the tail to her fursuit in hand. “I was outside sitting on the porch,” Emery said pointing at the door. “I’m too dum.b to pull something like this off you guys know this,” Angel stated honestly, she wasn’t the brightest bulb. “I was in the kitchen when I heard someone yell for help.” Wannabe said solemnly.

My work on scientific development teams for 27 years prepared me for the Cassini mission. My team’s goal was to get a better understanding of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, by using the space probe designed by the European Space Agency. The Cassini spacecraft carried the space probe in 2005. Once it detached and entered Titan’s atmosphere, it collected more information than we expected.

Read the following lines from the poem.

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
“Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened wide the door;—
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word was there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore!”

With the beginning of the Space Shuttle program in the 1980s, it became vital to improve the food and methods of eating and drinking in space since astronauts could spend 30 days aboard. The new food system included hot and cold water dispensers, a pantry, and an oven. Astronauts are able to choose meals in advance, though meals are repeated about every week. In addition, the space shuttle includes individual-sized packets of mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, and hot sauce for seasoning. The space food system has improved drastically since its beginning days of tubes and bite-sized, dehydrated foods. As space missions become longer, the program will undoubtedly make new advances.
