Introduction Water is everywhere, from our oceans to the pond at your local park. These sources like the pond are considered freshwater ecosystem. Water is a neutral compound, meaning that in its natural state, it is neither acidic nor basic and has a pH of 7. However, water is subject to pollution and can easily be polluted by acidic compounds. And when you live in an area with a refinery, the surrounding waters can be very polluted. For this lab, we will test the various freshwater sources…

Whenever southern literature authors are brought up, Harry Crews is almost surely mentioned every single time. The many memoirs, short stories, and novels he wrote over a number of years, like A Childhood: The Biography of a Place, and A Feast of Snakes, are often seen as a reflection of his tough childhood, filled with violence, self-damage, and alcohol. Although his “legendary” alcohol consumption almost brought him to his end years before his actual death, these seemingly negative aspects…

Titanic The RMS Titanic, a British passenger liner, tragically sank on the morning of April 15, 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean. The ship sank to a depth of 12,415 feet (History of the Titanic). The Titanic collided with an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southhampton, UK to New York City, US. More than 1,500 passengers and crew died as a result of this collision. This was one of the deadliest maritime disasters in modern history. The RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat when it entered…

“Humans are born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward” (Job 5:7 NIV). These are the astute words of Eliphaz, one of Job’s well-meaning friends. The observation is on target; as long as a fire continues, sparks blaze upward, are extinguished, and a new shower appears. Likewise, as long as life continues, it is fraught with difficulties. In Job’s case, however, it was not a matter of a cloud of sparks; his life itself resembled a blazing inferno. Here we encounter Job coming to grips with the…

fats from separating, to caramel to prevent sucrose crystallization, or in recipes in place of fresh lemon juice. (3) 2. Cleaning and chelating agent Citric acid is an excellent chelating agent, binding metals. It is used to remove limescale from boilers and evaporators.[9] It can be used to soften water, which makes it useful in soaps and laundry detergents. By chelating the metals in hard water, it lets these cleaners produce foam and work better without need for water softening. Citric acid…

The excerpt by Robert Perrucci and Earl Wysong gives a great historical start on the workforce in the US. The part that interested myself the most was the ‘creating the new working class’ section on the downsizing of firms, downsizing the workforce, being laid off, and claiming that companies are more profitable which benefits the workers. The truth about downsizing is far too familiar within my household. Some history of my hometown will explain the workers’ point of view. I am from a small…

The life and work of George Orwell In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, examples of a corrupt government are used to show that even the most humble and noble beginnings can become the most dishonest and dark societies. Orwell’s experience though fighting in political movements and writing propaganda against them gave him an edge amongst other writers in that period of time.

This coating is made of different materials which include zinc oxide polystyrene, manganese oxide polystyrene,…

As someone who has always straddled two cultures, Albanian and American, I know what it means to participate in two different language codes. One code, the private code, has to do with speaking a more intimate language. At home or in my local church, my parents have a more comfortable, personal approach when it comes to speaking. They usually speak in Albanian to one another or when they encounter an Albanian native. In this way they both can express themselves easily and have have a better…
