The Point

History Day project. I crossed my fingers, hoping to be in the same group with my friends. Fortunately, when my name was called, Andy and Leo, my friends, their names followed. Next day when I walked into the class, words turning point were on the board. Turning point was the theme for the National History Day 2013. National History Day is an annual contest where students choose a historical topic related to the theme, conduct research, and present their work in various…

question of mine; why do we keep coming back to Cedar Point. Why do we love to be thrilled on a roller coaster? Annoying gives a reasonable and possible explanation for this. This source is unlike any of the others, not only does it not talk about amusement parks as a whole but it doesn’t discuss family leisure either. It…

This paper will give you a background on freezing point and salt. Like what is freezing point and what does this affects. Also what would happen if you put salt in ice water if there is a effect to the ice and water. This paper will give background about basic chemistry of salt. Also it will give you some background on ice cream. How ice could effect ice cream. Water has the freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius. If you put a ice cube in water the rate of freezing and melting aren't changing. If…

After the extraction, recrystallization, and determination of melting points for the unknown compound #4 were performed, and observations were noted, the results were obtained. The two compounds yielded were 4-tert-butyl phenol and triphenylamine. The masses obtained of each compound were 0.071g and 0.298g. The melting point ranges obtained are as follows; for the first the solid started to melt at 94 ˚C and was completely melted at 98˚C, and for the second the solid started to melt at 115 ˚C…

this, Shah depicts how uninformed many Westerners are about the women’s situations and feelings. This critical review will uncover the depths of how women are treated in Afghanistan and the relevancy of part of the piece being written in first person point-of-view. Summary: Shah’s article presents the topic of the…

According to Gladwell’s explanation of Goetz’s incident in the subway, he explains that “The Tipping Point in this epidemic, though isn’t a particular kind of person…It’s something physical like graffiti. The impetus to engage in a certain kind of behavior is not coming from a certain kind of person but from a feature of the environment” (152). Gladwell attributes the cause of the tipping point to the environment as opposed to an individual or group of individuals. He argues that Goetz shot the…

dealing with the boiling point of water,” says Jacob Young, a mechanical designer at Blauch Brothers, Inc (Young, J.C. 2017). The pressure on Earth at sea level is 14.696 PSIA (Pounds per Square Inch Absolute). This pressure is caused by the weight of the Earth’s atmosphere being pulled towards Earth’s surface by gravitational forces. At this pressure, water’s boiling point is 212˚ Fahrenheit. Pressure decreases with increasing altitude, and as a result, the boiling point of water deceases as…

war, the influenza pandemic of 1918, Wilson's 14 points, the peace treaties, the league of Nations, self-determination and the mandate system. In today's discussion I will be talking about Wilson's 14 points, that was proposed after the war. Wilson's 14 points were 14 goals of the United States, proposed by President Woodrow Wilson in the peace negotiations after World War I. These principles were outlined in a speech in 1918 to Congress. The 14 points consisted of recommendations like; open…

saviors. His Fourteen Points represented hope for a new future free from war, disenfranchisement of the weak, autocratic government, and the establishment of a new world “made safe for democracy”. The language and attitude of his idealism seems almost reminiscent of John Winthrop’s “shining city on a hill”. Alas, the Treaty of Versailles was starkly different from Wilson’s new vision for the world. Keynes muses: “By what legerdemain was this policy substituted for the Fourteen Points, and how…
