Oil-filter wrench

artwork in one of the hallways caught my attention. It was a series of four, landscape nature paintings. The four paintings had water in them. They appeared to be scenes of a river flowing with foliage and greenery on the sides. The medium used was oil. These series of paintings were done in the year 2009, by Fred Peacock. As I interpreted these paintings, I saw peace and felt a sense of relaxation. I could almost hear the gentle rushing of the water over the rocks. I believe the main idea of…

risky and should be banned. Hydraulic Fracturing is vertically drilling into pockets of oil or natural gas and then horizontally angling the drill so as to maximize the amount of energy that can be freed. This method has been associated with environmentally negative impacts, such as air pollution or drinking-water contamination, on surrounding areas at drill sites. While there is risk involved with drilling for oil and natural gas, it is unclear and not enough research has been done to prove…

economies, it also produced a new, looming threat to marine wildlife and coastal economies. In 1967, the first major oil spill occurred off of the coast of the Isles of Scilly, when 38 million gallons of oil were spilled into surrounding waters. Including this incident, 36 major spills have occurred since 1967, exposing marine environments to at least one trillion gallons of oil (Oil). Now, it is being debated about whether or not to drill for natural resources off of the Southeastern Coast. In…

On the evening of Friday, March 24, I had the pleasure of going to the St. Louis Art Museum. I was accompanied by my cousin and her boyfriend, as they were visiting St. Louis for the weekend and wanted something fun to do. It was a lovely experience, and when I walked in I was taken back by the many rooms full of amazing and beautiful artwork. I was immediately drawn to the Renaissance art because that is what we have been studying and that is what I most familiar with. I wandered into rooms…

Kristy Hartman wrote in an article, “After five years of stability, the price of a barrel of oil has fallen by almost 50 percent, dropping from a high of more than $ 100 in 2014 to a low of $48 in January this year [2015]” (Hartman 28). Now, the Americans are able to purchase more by paying less and contributing to the economy more than they would have a few years ago when America was dependent on foreign oil. This is a win-win situation. This may be so, but research done by Finkel, Marsa,…

Lines are usually used in every art work and in Mostaert’s painting you can see the use of lines in various ways. The clouds in the background of the painting have many different lines fading away. The cross in which Jesus is hung on is also an example of how actual lines are being used vertically and horizontally. The author of gateways of art, states there are two types of lines ( DeWitte 54). There are the actual lines and the implied lines. The actual lines are lines we are able to see in…

BBC stated in the article What is fracking and why is it controversial? that “Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique designed to recover gas and oil from shale rock. Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside.” To be more specific, oil companies drill into the earth to extract gas from rocks using a high pressure water mixture. The water mixture includes gallons of water, sand, and…

6000-Year-Old Human Skull Found In Papua New Guinea Likely Belongs To World's Oldest Tsunami Victim In 1929, the 6000-year-old human skull was found in a site at Papua New Guinea. New research analysis has now revealed that the ancient skull likely belongs to the oldest tsunami victim in the world, and the catasthrophic event killed that person. Professor James Goff, the first author of the study and a UNSW Sydney scientist, says that the site where the Aitape Skull was found was once covered…

1. The oil painting, Man in a Red Turban, painted by Van Eyck represents the medium of oil painting. Van Eyck used great detail and such rich colors for his painting. The deep and rich colors of his turban depict lifelike folds. The cracks in Van Eyck’s painting represent the lines of the man’s forehead which gives him an elderly look. In Sonsini’s Fernado, Manuel, and David, has considerably less intricate detail compared to Van Eyck’s painting. The men and the background are not defined by…

The Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing Petros Tedla Fracking, short for Hydraulic Fracturing is a process that uses water and other fluids from underground by cracking the shell and collecting the gas that escapes. Wasting the water is not the only problem during Fracking as the water that was used in the Fracking process is now contaminated and the only way to dispose of it is to store It in lagoons that eventually pollute rivers and the water supply. There have been several incidents…
