Today we will learn how to make FOG. Below are the materials and instructions on how to make it.
MATERIALS:
glass jar strainer water ice cubes PROCESS:
Fill up the jar completely with hot water for about a minute. Pour out almost all the water, but leave about one inch in the jar. Put the strainer over the top of the jar.
Place a few (3-4) ice cubes in the strainer.
Watch what happens!
EXPLANATION:
The cold air from the ice cubes collides with the warm, moist air in the bottle causing the water to condense and forming an eerie fog.

The quake is actually frighteningly close (about 200mi from the epicenter) to the Yellowstone Super Caldera in northwest Wyoming.
The 6.5 Earthquake Was About 78 Miles from Boise. According to USGS.gov, this earthquake was reported at 44.448°N 115.136°W about 72 km west of Challis, Idaho.
So what would happen if the Super Caldera would erupt?
If the super volcano underneath Yellowstone National Park ever had another massive eruption, it could spew ash for thousands of miles across the United States.
Have a great day! No Aprils fools jokes today.

Bucks County Government has just released the following press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A man in his 60s with a history of underlying health conditions died from COVID-19 today in a Bucks County intensive care unit – the county’s first death of the coronavirus pandemic. “We regret having to announce this sad news to our community, and we extend our sincere condolences to this man’s family and friends,” County Commissioners Chair Diane M. Ellis-Marseglia said. The victim died less than a day after being admitted to the ICU on Friday. Testing confirmed that he had COVID-19, said Dr. David Damsker, director of the Bucks County Health Department. “We’ve known, from the experiences elsewhere in the commonwealth, the country and in other countries that once you have community spread of coronavirus, some of our most vulnerable people may die from this disease,” Damsker said. “This is what we are seeking to limit through our social distancing measures.” Damsker expressed his condolences to the victim’s loved ones while stressing that the vast majority of Bucks County cases so far have resulted in more moderate symptoms. “As tragic as this death is, it is not typical of what we have been experiencing in most of the people who have tested positive,” he said. Map Twenty Bucks County residents are currently hospitalized with COVID-19, 13 in stable condition and seven on ventilators in critical condition. Most of those in intensive care are older adults with underlying medical conditions. The deceased man was among 36 new cases reported today to the county health department, almost all of them the result of known contacts with infected persons or out-of-state travel, Damsker said. Bucks County now has had 216 confirmed cases of COVID-19. (One negative lab result was incorrectly reported to the health department Friday as positive.) In a briefing early this afternoon, Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said the commonwealth has 2,751 total cases, including 533 new positive results over the previous 24 hours. The statewide death toll stood at 34, she said. Gov. Tom Wolf announced that he is extending his stay-at-home order to Beaver, Centre and Washington Counties. “We’re starting to see the virus rear its ugly head in every corner of the commonwealth,” Wolf said, urging residents to continue to stay at home except for life-sustaining purposes. Residents of 22 counties, including Bucks and all of its surrounding Pennsylvania counties, are now under Wolf’s stay-at-home directive. Residents of 36 Bucks County municipalities have tested positive for the virus, with first-time cases reported today in Bristol Borough and West Rockhill Township. A map showing those municipalities on the county’s data portal https://covid19-bucksgis.hub.arcgis.com/ will continue to be updated as new cases arise.

Direct payments to individuals
Under the plan as it was being negotiated, single Americans would receive $1,200, married couples would get $2,400 and parents would see $500 for each child under age 17. However, the payments would start to phase out for individuals with adjusted gross incomes of more than $75,000, and those making more than $99,000 would not qualify at all. The thresholds are doubled for couples.
Student loan payments suspended
The Department of Education would suspend payments on student loan borrowers without penalty through September 30, according to the bill. CNN reported last week that the Department of Education was planning to allow student loan borrowers to suspend payments without penalty and accruing interest for at least 60 days.
REAL ID deadline delayed
The deadline to obtain a REAL ID, federally mandated identification that will be needed for passengers to board aircraft, will be extended until at least September 2021 — a year past the current deadline.
• Loan forgiveness for certain small business loans. Employers may be eligible for a portion of their federal small business loans to be forgiven (tax-free) for amounts spent for certain payroll, sick leave, family leave and other overhead expenses between Feb. 15 and June 6, as well as certain other debt obligations incurred prior to Feb. 15.
• Additional Small Business Administration loan payments. The Small Business Administration will pay the principal, interest and any associated fees that are currently owed on 7(a) loans, 504 loans and micro-loans. This would be for a six-month period starting on the next payment due date. Loans that are already on deferment would include an additional six months of payment by the Small Business Administration beginning with the next payment.
• Income tax break for some employees. Employee borrowers of student loans that receive assistance from their employers in paying off student loans will not have to pay income tax on any payment assistance, up to $5,250, they receive between enactment of this law and Jan. 1, 2021.
• Deferred Social Security tax. Employers and self-employed individuals would be allowed to defer payment of their employer share of the Social Security tax until Dec. 31.
