Our Iceberg is Melting is a story of penguins who are very comfortable with their present existence until a curious penguin named Fred discovered one day as result of curiosity that their iceberg was melting. The iceberg was the foundation of the penguins’ existence and without it they would perish. Fred had the courage to inform Alice who is a member of the Leadership Council about condition of the iceberg. Alice was a penguin who got things done and would listen to Fred. Fred had the opportunity

Pol Pot‚ leader of the radical Khmer Rouge in Cambodia stands as one of the most savage mass murderers in the history of the world. In an attempt to create a utopian agrarian society‚ Pol Pot eliminated all opponents to his totalitarian regime. Up to 2‚000‚000 Cambodians lost their lives to this cleansing‚ the equivalent of more than twenty-five percent of the entire population. The world looks on in horror at the aftermath of this destruction. Pol Pot‚ or Saloth Sar‚ was born on May 19‚ 1925‚ in

Crystallization and Melting Points Organic Chemistry 221 9/19/2012 Intro/Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to use crystallization to separate a compound from a solvent and be able to choose the best solvent to do so. Then identify an unknown and verify purity using melting points. Solubility contributes to crystallization; because a solute has lower solubility at lower temperatures‚ which makes the solvent separate from the solution as a solid. This process is important to understand because

Melting Point Determination and Thermometer Calibration Lab Background: The melting point of a substance‚ a solid in this case‚ signifies the temperature at which the first crystal starts to melt until the temperature at which the last crystal disappears is reached. That being said‚ melting points are expressed in ranges‚ am organic compound will have a sharp range depending on the purity of the compound. Impurity of an organic substance will register an abnormal melting point based on its

Cambodia’s Year Zero by our Brother Number One: Pol Pot Looking back to the early 1970’s many Cambodian lives had no significance to the great Communist nation‚ and they were told‚ "To keep you is no benefit‚ to destroy you is no loss." In northern Cambodia remain the victims of one of the worst mass murderers in the world history. Saloth Sar‚ better known as Pol Pot‚ was a Cambodian Maoist revolutionary who led the Khmer Rouge and became the leader of Cambodia on April 17‚ 1975. Pol Pot was randomly

Lab #1: Melting Points of Organic Compounds Report Form May 15‚ 2014 1. A “Melting Point Range” refers to the range of temperature at which a solid melts into its liquid state. 2. Pure compounds have narrow or ‘sharp’ melting point ranges‚ 1°C or less if the compound is very pure. A less pure compound exhibits a broader melting point range‚ between 3°C to 10°C as well as a depressed or lower range. 3. Crushing the sample allows for greater surface area-to-volume ratio of the powder‚ this

Pol Pot in Cambodia. This all started in 1925‚ when Pol Pot was born. He joined the underground communist movement in 1953. In 1962 he became leader of the communist party and was forced to flee into the jungle‚ in that same jungle he began building his own military resistance and began waging guerrilla war against the government. From 1969 until 1973 Pot watched as 150‚000 Cambodian peasants were slain from U.S bombs. In 1975 when they U.S left Vietnam. Cambodia’s government was in shambles it
