M. Velas FUNCTIONS OF LEISURE Relation to Increased Production and Consumption The function of leisure is largely determined by the kind and amount of free time and by the ideas of the age. When spare time consists of short breaks between long periods of sustained labor‚ its function is thought of as recreation – relaxing the worker so that he can work more efficiency after the break. When the goals are efficiency of work‚ increased production‚ more power and more wealth‚ the function of leisure

Analyse how Frankenstein and Blade Runner imaginatively portray individuals who challenge the established values of their time. | Mary Shelley’s seminal novel Frankenstein and Ridley Scott’s cult classic film Blade Runner express the contextual concerns of the post-industrial and post modern eras respectively. Where Shelley’s novel operates as a Gothic expression of the conflicting paradigms of Romantic idealism and Enlightenment rationalism‚ Scott’s film functions as a response to a postmodern

Mains gas is most likely to be piped natural gas. The most serious risk to human health is via a leak‚ however small‚ in the piping system that transports the gas inside the building. Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons‚ including methane. It is colourless and odourless‚ which makes a leak difficult to notice. Exposure to high levels of natural gas quickly causes unconsciousness and even death. Exposure to low levels can cause dizziness‚ nausea or heart palpitations. It has this affect because

Instead you smell a pungent mustard aroma‚ struggling to breath‚ it subsides after a couple of minutes. Without knowing it you have been exposed to a new chemical used by the Germans‚ code named LOST‚ which referred to the last names of the

elements that pertain to a “home-made” turbine. The main purpose of the turbine project was to design and construct a turbine using material around the lab‚ while maintaining the project requirements. The turbine was to be completed in one week‚ where it would be ready to be tested for power‚ stiffness‚ and weight. Everyone in the group would have to work together to make sure the turbine would be completed on time. In addition to the turbine structure‚ a motor blade is needed with ample efficiency to

are prime examples of the implementation of gas laws. The physics are based on the simple principle that warm air rises in cooler air. Hot air has less mass per unit of volume. The relevant gas law in use is Charless Law‚ which is V1/T1=V2/T2. The law states that raising the temperature (T1) will also increase the volume (V2)‚ in order to keep the equation true. Generally‚ air is heated through the use of propane burners. When ignited‚ the volume of the gas increases but the balloon cannot expand much

At the same time‚ the stock market contracted radically‚ an event that foreshadowed future stock market instabilities linked to the price of oil. The 1970s was also an era in which environmentalism was becoming mainstream. Environmentalists went from what many considered the "lunatic fringe" to the heart of social consciousness as they argued that
