What I hate about driving‚ especially on the highway‚ is a slow driver. They believe that driving 10-20 mph under the speed limit is being precautious‚ but they do fully not understand that slow driving can be dangerous. They are oblivious to the whole world around them‚ mainly because they care about only themselves and not the other drivers around them. It’s irritating when some idiot decides to drive slowly on the left lane of the highway. The left lane is designed for passing‚ not holding back

Slow steaming The full story Slow steaming – the full story Maersk’s development of slow steaming demonstrates its capacity for industry-changing innovation. When fuel prices soared and CO2 emissions hogged headlines in 2007‚ Maersk’s technical experts set about solving the problem. Slowing down was the solution they came up with. By 2009‚ significant fuel savings and carbon reductions resulting from sailing at 12 knots instead of 24 saw slow steaming become standard operating procedure

activities. In these instances we act in a way to gain control and understanding; one way of doing this is through spontaneous memorialization. In his article‚ Allen Haney defines spontaneous memorialization as‚ “a public response to the unanticipated‚ violent deaths of people who do not fit into categories of those we expect to die” (Haney 343). Examples of traditional spontaneous memorials include collections of mementos at the sight of a tragedy‚ and candlelight vigils. These do not replace traditional

solution (limewater) 50 mL beaker (for indicator) Procedure My lab partner and I performed a series of experiments to investigate the chemistry of the burning of a candle. The teacher provided the following chemical equation to describe the burning‚ or combustion‚ in the candle: Hydrocarbon fuel + O2 CO2 + H2O The candle we used was a small‚ white emergency candle about 3.5 cm tall. The candle had already been used by someone else because I could see from the black wick that it had been lit

The peer reviewed article‚ “Spontaneous Pneumothorax” by Laszlo Bense‚ states what specifically happens when a pneumothorax occurs‚ what causes them‚ and just a few ways to prevent them. First of all‚ a pneumothorax is the medical term for a collapsed lung‚ which is something I did not know before I read these articles. So the first thing this article talked about was how a collapsed lung happens. It basically describes it as air filling your pleural cavity because of a slight rupture or opening

comes from the second law of thermodynamics‚ which states that all systems tend to reach a state of equilibrium. The significance of entropy is that when a spontaneous change occurs in a system‚ it will always be found that if the total entropy change for everything involved is calculated‚ a positive value will be obtained. Simply‚ all spontaneous changes in an isolated chemical system occur with an increase in entropy. Like enthalpy‚ you can calculate the change of S (ΔS). Formula- Δ S = S (products)

The Combustion of Diamond and Methane Methane is a hydrocarbon compound that is found in a gaseous state at room temperature. It has the chemical formula CH4‚ it is an odourless‚ colourless gas that is a large percentage of ‘natural gas’ and is a large contributor to global warming as it is a greenhouse gas and is flammable so is used as a fuel. Methane is a product of the covalent bonding of carbon and hydrogen. Products of the combustion of methane include carbon dioxide‚ water‚ soot and carbon

Slow Food: a better way of living and eating In modern society‚ where every hour is rush hour‚ we eat in our cars‚ at our desks‚ on the go or in front of the TV. We purchase at a drive-through‚ take-out‚ and delivery service to eat prepared meals. We do this because it fits in our fast society and matches our lifestyle; however‚ a series of problems occur with eating Fast Food. People are getting less healthy‚ and they start worrying about this kind of eating habit; therefore‚ people start to

Spontaneous Memorialization Spontaneous Memorialization Death has become highly impersonal in the United States and is seen as “culturally invisible.” In the past‚ the bodies of those who died used to be prepared by someone within the family or community and their lives were then celebrated by a larger group of people. Today‚ however‚ corpses are sent off to funeral homes‚ then mourned over with a relatively closed off service at either a church or funeral home. With emerging advancements
