“All of a sudden, the boilers erupted in a mammoth explosion, nearly splitting the Sultana in half” (Billings 1). The Sultana was going upriver on the Mississippi River when the boilers and the steamer stopped working (Billings 1). When all of a sudden a gigantic explosion on the boat killed 1,700 people which is more than the Titanic (Billings 1). The boat was going up river and the boilers and steamer stopped working which caused the explosion (Billings 1).…
The multicolor lights are caused by multi -break shells. These often contain stars of different colors and varying compositions that combine to create a soft or brighter light, or more or less sparks, etc. Some shells also contain explosives designed to crackle in the sky, or whistle as it explodes outward with the stars. These type shells are also ignited by different fuses. (Brain, 2014)…

For the unknown light source, it had almost every color, so it might have been be mercury because they have similar color beams and their color from the naked eye appeared as purple, which mercury, a light blue, is very close to in terms of it's color on the spectrum. For the unknown flame crystals, it may NH4+ because the colors that appeared are very similar to the crystals. Next, chemicals have to be heated in the flame for the color to emit because heat adds energy to the substance making the electrons more excited, allowing for the electrons to transition faster. Then, the method of lighting the substance on fire is far better than using the spectroscope. Not only does the fire burn it's colors more obvious, but also, light pollution tremendously…
References: by the dissenting Lords were made to R v Stephenson [1979] but the majority were in favour of going in accordance with Lord Diplock’s test, that the risk would have been foreseen by an “ordinary, prudent individual” and the defendant was convicted upon section 1(2) of the 1971 Criminal Damage Act based on intention and not on recklessness, as the risk would have been obvious to the defendant if he was sober. The Lords departed from their previous decision introducing an objective test for recklessness; therefore R v Cunningham [1957] was overruled.…

The history of fireworks goes back to the Chinese Han dynasty, estimated around 200 B.C. It is first believed that original firework was a ‘firecracker’ that was made of chunks of green bamboo, which someone may have thrown onto a fire when wood became low. The rods hissed and after a while unexpectedly exploded. This phenomenon led to human fascination to recreate this experiment which ultimate led to the development of gun powder. Roger Bacon, a Franciscan monk, became one of the first Europeans to study gunpowder as well as publish it. He revealed that saltpeter was the force behind the alarming sound of firecrackers and discovered a way of purifying the natural mineral. His favorite material to harvest was charcoal, from which he had taken from the remains of a willow tree. As his publication grew, societies adopted fireworks into future traditions. Around the 1600s, settlers brought fireworks over to the Americas, where they continued to be used to celebrate special occasions. The very first 4th of July celebration was in 1777, only one year after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.…

It is troubling to hear the public discussion on this vital public health issue reduced to a debate over the rights of smokers and nonsmokers, when I know this legislation is the difference between life and death for many. Countless studies have scientifically confirmed the devastating health effects of exposure to secondhand smoke. The evidence is so overwhelming, it begs reality that anyone could make an argument against an indoor smoking ban with a clear conscience (80).…
RONALD COASE Ronald Coase is Professor Emeritus at University of Chicago Law School and a Nobel Laureate in Economics. This article is from The Journal of Law and Economics (October 1960). Several passages devoted to extended discussions of legal decisions have been omitted. I. THE PROBLEM TO BE EXAMINED This paper is concerned with those actions of business firms which have harmful effects on others. The standard example is that of a factory the smoke from which has harmful effects on those occupying neighbouring properties. The economic analysis of such a situation has usually proceeded in terms of a divergence between the private and social product of the factory, in which economists have largely followed the treatment of Pigou in The Economies of Welfare. The conclusion to which this kind of analysis seems to have led most economists is that it would be desirable to make the owner of the factory liable for the damage caused to those injured by the smoke, or alternatively, to place a tax on the factory owner varying with the amount of smoke produced and equivalent in money terms to the damage it would cause, or finally, to exclude the factory from residential districts (and presumably from other areas in which the emission of smoke would have harmful effects on others). It is my contention that the suggested courses of action are inappropriate, in that they lead to results which are not necessarily, or even usually, desirable. II. THE RECIPROCAL NATURE OF THE PROBLEM The traditional approach has tended to obscure the nature of the choice that has to be made. The question is commonly thought of as one in which A inflicts harm on B and what has to be decided is: how should we restrain A? But this is wrong. We are dealing with a problem of a reciprocal nature. To avoid the harm to, B would inflict harm on A. The real question that has to be decided is: should A be allowed to harm B or should B be allowed to harm A? The problem is to avoid the…
