attending college is one getting to know one’s self. During the time you’re at college you get a chance to learn more about what you like and don’t like‚ or you start to see how you want to mold your life. Robert Feldman‚ author of P.O.W.E.R. Learning: Strategies for Success and Life‚ says “Your college education provides you with a compass to discover who you are‚ where you’ve been‚ and where you’re going.” When I first came to college I wanted to major in

OCEAN ACIDIFICATION The world’s oceans have largely been left out of the mainstream discussion of global climate change. Yet‚ as one of the largest natural reservoirs of carbon‚ the surface ocean plays a critical role in the global carbon cycle. Over recent years‚ human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels have increased the amount of carbon dioxide gas emitted to the atmosphere and the amount that dissolves into the ocean. Over the last decade‚ scientists have discovered that this excess

First‚ assume that Ocean Carriers is a U.S. firm subject to a 35% statutory (and effective) marginal tax rate. Second‚ assume that Ocean Carriers is domiciled in Hong Kong for tax purposes‚ where ship owners are not required to pay any tax on profits made overseas and are also exempted from paying any tax on profit made on cargo uplifted from Hong Kong‚ i.e.‚ assume a zero tax rate.

1. Kim Jong Un: Kim Jong Un is by far the worst dictator on this list‚ not only because he has an unsound mind‚ but because he‚ and those who came before him‚ have destroyed any chance of anyone helping the country. Through the years‚ Kim Jong Un has been known for doing and saying inane things‚ i.e. communicating with dolphins‚ not pooping‚ and executing those who do not agree with him‚ and will continue doing these things until his death or the death of his country. Yet‚ the real problem lies with

Ocean Acidification The main theme of the 3 articles is that the ocean is becoming more acidic due to fossil-fuel emission of CO2. The ocean has absorbed about 525 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ this reduces the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere (1). ). It is lowering the pH by .1 units changing it from 8.2 to 8.1… it is becoming more acidic. (2). It happens when the CO2 from the air mixes with the sea water‚ it produces a bicarbonate ion. This bicarbonate ion then

The ocean as vast and as mysterious as it is‚ is facing problems caused by humans dumping waste into it and that is causing marine life to be harmed. It was thought that the ocean was so deep and huge that no matter how much garbage you put into it would have small consequences. As we have seen that is very wrong‚ here are a few of the problems ocean pollution cause: Toxic metals can destroy the biochemistry‚ behavior‚ and reproduction of marine life. Fertilizer runoff creates eutrophication that

Ocean acidification is caused by CO2 in the atmosphere when it reacts with water it creates carbonic acid. It’s a significant and harmful consequence of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that we don’t see or feel because its effects are happening underwater. When carbon dioxide is absorbed by seawater a chemical reaction occurs that reduces the seawaters pH‚ carbonate ion concentration‚ and saturation states of biologically significant calcium carbonate minerals. It decreases the pH of seawater

Future of Our Oceans The fact of the matter is that the levels of CO2 that this planet we call Earth is expelling is incredible. Like 30 billion tons per year incredible. This rate of change drastically effects everything‚ including the most popular type of surface we have on Earth‚ our oceans. Although the oceans are delaying the effects of global warming by taking in heaps of carbon dioxide‚ this does not mean the oceans go unaffected. This is not a small problem either. As oceans take in more

Indian Ocean‚ commerce changed significantly in this time period with the emergence of foreign presence that once only consisted of regions in South Asia. Additionally‚ the Indian Ocean region also changed because of the shift in the way piracy was viewed. However‚ commerce in the Indian Ocean region continued to connect the rest of South Asia because it was a prominent trade network. A change in commerce in the Indian Ocean region was the increasing foreign presence. Early on‚ the Indian Ocean trade
