Desertification

**Desertification** is the expansion of desert into the surrounding areas. The desert area in the world is getting bigger. Desertification usually happens on the edge of deserts. It is caused by a variety of factors.

## Causes

There are many causes of desert spreading:

- Climatic change, including global warming (natural factor). The distribution of rainfall in the surrounding area of desert is uneven. From 1970 onwards, the world's weather has been changing. There has been less rain, and certain areas of the world are becoming drier. Drought affects the area surrounding a desert. As a result, many crops and animals have died. There is no vegetation to protect the soil. The topsoil is removed by sudden flash floods or strong wind. This makes the soil erode and the desert spread towards the surrounding area. Here are a few more ways of desertification:

- Rapid population growth (human factor).
- Overgrazing.
- Deforestation.
- Drought
- Irrigation (if done wrongly, or it needs more water than the environment can provide).

SuccessTech Academy shooting

The **2007 SuccessTech Academy shooting** was a School shooting at SuccessTech Academy in Cleveland, Ohio on October 10, 2007. 14 year old Asa H Coon shot 2 students and 2 teachers injuring them before committing suicide in a classroom on the fourth floor of the building.

Asa Coon, a student at the school, entered the school shortly before 1pm armed with two revolvers and three tactical folding knives. After being punched in the face for bumping into Michael Peek, Coon shot Peek in the abdomen around 1:03pm as he walked away. He walked through the school's halls shooting at another student, Darnell Rodgers, but the bullet just scratched Rodgers, hurting his elbow. Then Coon went to a social studies class where he shot the teacher Michael Grassie in the chest. Another teacher, David Kachadourian, was shot in the shoulder while helping his students get to a safe place. A 14-year-old student, Trinnetta McGrady, had knee and back injuries from being stepped on in a hallway by students who were trying to get away. The shooting ended when Coon walked into a empty classroom and fatally shot himself in the right side of his head.

A controversial crime scene photo taken of Coon after his suicide was leaked to the public from a radio disc jockey from the Rover's Morning Glory show. A Cleveland police officer Walter Emerick, who took the picture using his camera phone was suspended from his job for eight days for sending the photo to other people, eventually leading to it being leaked on the Internet.

Mines of Paris

The   **Mines of Paris** (in French ***Carrières de Paris*** — "quarries of Paris") are made up of a number of abandoned, underground mines under Paris, France, connected together by large chambers called galleries. Three main networks exist; the largest, called the _grand réseau sud_ ("large south network"), lies under the Ve, VIe, XIVe and XVe arrondissements, a second under the XIIIe arrondissement, and a third under the XVIe, though other minor networks are found under the XIIe, XIVe and XVIe for instance. Together, the mines and galleries run for about 280 kilometres.

Exploring the mines is not allowed by the prefecture and people caught get heavy fines.  A limited part of the network (1.7 km) was used as an underground ossuary (storage place for human bones) in the past known as the catacombs of Paris, and can be legally visited from the entrance on Place Denfert-Rochereau. The entire network is commonly but mistakenly called "the catacombs". Despite restrictions, the network is often toured by urban explorers popularly called cataphiles.

## Ossuary

During the 18th century, the growing population of Paris resulted in the filling up of existing cemeteries, raising public health concerns.  Towards the end of the 18th century, it was decided to create three new large cemeteries and to condemn the existing cemeteries within the city limits.  Human remains were slowly moved to a rebuilt section of the abandoned mines that would later become a ossuary.  The entrance is located on present day _Place Denfert-Rochereau_.

The ossuary became a tourist attraction on from the early 19th century and has been open to the public on a regular basis from 1867. Although it is officially called the _Ossuaire Municipal_, it is widely known as "the catacombs".  Though the entire network of Paris' mines is not a burial place as such, the term 'Catacombs' is commonly used to refer to the whole network.
