Fish Tank, directed by Andrea Arnold, is a film that relies heavily on style. One such element of style that is particularly important to this film is its color. In the majority of the film warm and bright colors compose many scenes. Orange and yellow dominate in scenes set on the first floor of Mia’s home and at night. Light blues fill in the sky, doorways, and many other components of the set. Mia and Conor’s clothing, though not exuberant, always feature components made up of light colors…

It was a Friday afternoon and he was in the break room all alone and I knew this would be a good…

The Juicy Salif by Philip Starck is one of the most iconic and obscure designs of modern culture. The shape of the Juicy Salif is what first attracts the human eye, immediately grabbing any onlookers’ attention. An elongated teardrop with three solid tentacles in aluminum casting, resembling a large metal spider, the Juicy Salif is no ordinary lemon squeezer. Futuristic, sleek and unique in design, it screams post-modernism. The disproportionate number of legs juxtaposes to its clean lines and…

CO2 extraction is considered a “green” experiment because it is nonflammable, relatively nontoxic, readily available, and environmentally benign. Considering that there is not a high concentration of limonene in the rinds, the experiment was successful and yielded 1.04 percent limonene relative to the mass of the rinds. The 13C…
