explanation for my decisions. On my rampage site I tried to keep my site professional, but as well as a little personal. I included personal and professional pictures of me as well as information about me, some of my academic works, as well as my track and field information. The first…
Objective The purpose of the experiment is to synthesize multiple cobalt complexes with various ligands and explain the ligand field transitions of these complexes using Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The experiment provides insight into specific colors of certain molecular species and respective bonding information. Introduction Transition elements are defined by the IUPAC as atoms that have an incomplete d-subshell, most commonly referring to the d-block.1 When transition metals…
The story consists of two men who go by the names Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym. Both men had been mortal enemies since day one. They hated each other with a passion because of a dispute between their grandfather's about forest land. One day while Ulrich was doing his usual patrolling in the woods, he comes across Georg who was doing his fair share of hunting to prove that the forest land was also rightfully his to use. Both men held their rifles at each other. They could easily kill each…

Title Mark Dowie’s opinion on this concept is that no profit is worth more than a human life. In his article he talks in depth about Ford Motor companies and a car they designed and produced in the seventies, the Pinto. The Pinto was a very rushed project that focused more on making a profit than the quality and safety of the vehicle. The entire tone of the article casts a harsh judgmental light on the decisions made during that project. He makes it very obvious that he opposes Ford decisions…
Figure 1 below illustrates the predicted route of the track as identified during the least cost paths analysis. The four parts of the route are shown: Punakiki to the ventilation shaft; shaft to the mine portal (lookout point); portal to the amenities area; and the ventilation shaft to Blackball. The results clearly illustrate it is possible to use cost paths modelling to identify a track. However, further assessment will be necessary around the aesthetic value of the track, to assess whether it…
Introduction Near-field communication (NFC) is a set of protocols that allow communication between two electronic devices. Most commonly this technology is used for communication between portable devices like smartphones. Even though it is a contact less system of communication, it requires that the devices are within 4 cm or 1.57-inch distance from each other (Carter & Faulkner, 2015). Basically, this technology relies on creating a low speed connection between the devices which has a very…
Discussion The aim of this study was to investigate if age and gender are associated with children’s understanding of the earth’s structure. It was hypothesised that: older children will have a better scientific understanding of the structure of the earth compared to younger children, boys will have a better scientific understanding of the structure of the earth compared to girls, and younger children will construct different mental models of the earth compared to older children. The results of…
Ezekiel Elliott, a natural athlete born in an athletic family, but now could be considered the best running back in the NFL, leading the NFL in most yards per carry after contact. Thanks to his offensive line, Zeke is just pure talent on the football field, if you ask any running back, fullback, quarterback, or anybody behind the offensive line before a play, they would tell you that the play would not ever succeed without those lineman protecting them. Zeke admits that that statement is true,…
