As the dependence on lithium batteries increased with an elevated demand for clean energy, it became increasingly important to consider the effect of these batteries on the environment. Nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) made up many of these batteries and could dissociate in aquatic environments. Prior experiments, such as Hang et. Al. 2016, reported detrimental effects of dissociated NMC on aquatic microorganisms.1 In the first part of this project, the objective was to explore and develop an…
With his new step forward in technology there would be both pros and cons to address. Though, whenever the replacement of humans for machines is suggested, there is always a very clear argument. In this case in particular, the weights are stacked particularly evenly. He article goes through several of these issues on both sides. In favor of the automated trucks, there are many good reasons. For one, they eliminate most human flaws. When a driver is on the road, for instance, they can only drive…
seemed to be gaining on him? Nearly crawling up the rear fender of the sedan, I read my speedometer. “55 MPH! Are you kidding me!” Fist clenching, muscles flexing, teeth grinding, I knew I was about to unleash. “Thats It!” With my vision red, I had no limits. With sudden flashbacks of the two speeding tickets on my record, I snapped into reality. Yet the monster inside was much to strong! Dropping the pedal to the floor, I merged violently. Screaming profanity as my speed increased I shrieked a…
raising or lowering one’s financial limits. As of now, it is not really necessary for me to break out of my financial comfort zone. I am making a decent amount of money with my part time job and my parents still send me money from time to time. I have noticed that even though I do not have to change my comfort zone, I may have already done so. I have not been spending as much as I used to, before I got my part time job. I think getting this job has raised the limit of my financial comfort zone,…

Driving above the posted speed makes you a more dangerous driver and increases your chances of being involved in an accident. Until this year, I had never received a speeding ticket.

Always remember that a minute’s patience, or endurance with another road user can save a life. Some people think that driving faster than the normal speed limit will help them reach their destination on time, but they forget that it can also lead them to the death path, which is preventable by following all the safety signs, and posted speed limits on the roads. In my opinion, the government should start driving courses in schools, so the teenagers can be taught about the hazards about driving.…
sure he was going 55, the speed limit. “Yes, that's what I clocked you at. But that’s not the speed limit.” That’s when Monroe was informed that all the speed limits in Holland have been reduced to a maximum of 40 mph. Lucky for Monroe, the officer left him with a warning, and he was still able to get to school on time. This has been the story for many drivers across the Holland area. Unsuspecting drivers have taken to the roads without knowledge of the speed limit change only to see…
It was a very nice summer evening, the sun was just starting to set behind us as I drove down the highway. Without a worry, the music was blaring and there was a lot of singing and laughing going on in the car. Three of my friends and I were on our way to a movie in Spirit Lake, when the trip took an unexpected turn. Now, instead of going to the movie, I was going to have to go to court. I quickly pulled to the side of the road and rolled down my window for the man that was standing…
