Peak oil

sculptures, and much more artwork of all times. One of the portraits that had caught my eye was called Spring Time by Pierre-Auguste Cot. He painted this portrait in 1873 and it was now found at The Metropolitan Museum. The material that was used is called oil on canvas, according to the tag that was placed by this painting. Unfortunately, the size of the painting was not listed on the right side tag of the portrait, but it was a nice big painting. As I continue with this paper, I will be…

I visited the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum at FIU. There were several artists on exhibit there from different parts of the Caribbean, Central and South American and the United States. The most beautiful piece that I saw was a tapestry that showed what looked like two women facing in opposite directions. One was red, one was black. While I was looking at it I was wondering how long it took the artist to make the piece because it is very detailed and complicated but kind of…

deep rock where oil or natural gas exists, the well is curved about 90 degrees and begins to drill horizontally along that rock layer. The horizontal drilling can extend more than one mile from the vertical well. After the well is fully drilled and encased, fracking fluid is pumped down into the well at exceedingly high pressure. In some cases it can exceed 9,000 pounds per square inch. This pressure is so powerful it can fracture the surrounding rock, creating cracks which gas and oil can flow.…

Hydraulic fracking is a procedure where rocks beneath the earth are injected with water, sand, and chemicals which in result cause the flow of natural gases and oil. The government uses fracking as a beneficial tool to obtain gases and oil. Although, fracking procedures can cause long span risk. I Brandon, as a member of Gov. Wolfe’s cabinet, vote against hydraulic fracking should be banned in the state of Pennsylvania because it is harming the environment, causes public health issues, and…

visit the Museum of Modern Art in New York City multiple times, and each time I was able to examine this piece in further detail. I had a similar experience when observing Claude Monet’s ‘Poplars’ in the Fitzwilliam Museum. In the central third of the oil painting is a brush hair, coated in green paint and attached within the painting. My great, great grandfather – George Bain – was a well-known artist and one of his paintings has a fine hair from one of his paintbrushes. This evidence of an…

Avobath: This bath bomb was my least favorite of the 3. Even though the water did turn a pretty green color, my skin did not feel moisturized after using it. Also, the bath bomb did not fizz for long and the scent was barely noticeable even though in stores it had a strong scent. I feel the price is too expensive for this bath bomb, and I would not recommend purchasing it. $6.45 at Lush Rate: 5/10 Twilight: This bath bomb was my favorite of the 3 because it has a great lavender scent and…

Fracking and The Technologies of Humility and Hubris Over the past several years there has been an outcry from U.S. environmentalists regarding a process for extracting extremely large caches of oil and natural gas that, prior to this process, were unattainable. This process in called Hydraulic Fracturing, or Fracking for short and has strong support on both sides of the issue as to whether it is a safe practice or could cause irreversible damage to the environment. It is the intention of…
