- What causes climate change? Define the Greenhouse Effect

Greenhouse gases (GHG) allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere and absorbs the heat produced by that light. Most of this heat energy is trapped within the atmosphere by the GHG while some of them are let out into the space. The phenomenon of atmospheric heating due to the GHG is called as the greenhouse effect. Gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases form the greenhouse gases. Burning of fossil fuels, manufacturing processes, decay of organic matter, agricultural industries and emission of synthetic fluorinated gases from various ...

It is in this escapade that he misses the last bus that leaves the village and the villagers convince him to spend the night at ...

Executive Summary

Recently, the Middle East has experienced high rates of bad weather conditions that among others have caused sandstorms around the region. These conditions continue to affect various socio-economic activities with massive deadly consequences especially for airline companies (Seinfield and Spyros, 2006). For instance, in 2008, sandstorms caused low visibility conditions caused very many cars to pile up on the Dubai-Abu Dhabi border. It is estimated that around 25 people lost their lives in this incident. In late 2013, the same incident did not only cause injuries to a dozen people but also hampered activities around Dubai airport for three days.

Play has been recognized as an activity that helps parents to engage with their children as well as offering an opportunity for physical, cognitive, emotional and social well-being of the youth and children. The benefits derived by parents and children from play are enormous despite the reduced amount of time play often available to families (Barab, Gresalfi & Ingram-Goble, 2010). This paper addresses varied activities that my family can use to participate in as a family and thus make family time better. The purpose of this play quest is to describe each of the play activities and how the time ...

It is now evident that as the world has extracted most of the less polluting oil, attentions are now being turned on the kind of oil that leaves the environment with a lot of dirty sludge- oil sands. Oils sands are partially consolidated sandstones or loose sands that contain naturally occurring mixture of clay, sand and water, saturated with extremely viscous and dense form of petroleum that is technically referred to as bitumen. Colloquially, it is also known as tar, due to the similar appearance in color and odor. The Canadian crude oil sands or bitumen is very thick and ...

A journey through Corpus Christi, Texas is a journey through the “Sparkling city by the sea.” Thus, in its very nickname, the magical essence of this place is more than obvious. A walk through the Texas Gulf Coast is a walk through the granular, cream-colored surface of the beach lies carelessly as far as the eye can see, merging with the marine infinity. Nowhere in the world is the sand more pleasant to bare feet, protruding through the fingers with a pleasant prickling sensation, or water gentler on touching a human body, or the wind more melodious and more filled with the saline ...

South of the polar Northwest Territories’ (NT) barren tundra lies the province of Alberta. The Canadian boreal forest provides expansive acres of natural habitat landscape for an array of plant and animal species. Ecologically, the Albertan forests and bogs arrest vast quantities of carbon-based pollutants, and their extensive hydrological network filters and purify millions of gallons of water. The boreal is also home to Aboriginal Communities which depend directly on the forest resources for their livelihoods (Regional Aquatics Monitoring Program [RAMP]). Nevertheless, this immaculate natural paradise is central to one of the today’s most contentious issues about the ‘ ...

His neighbor identifies the man as an angel but the local priest doubts whether he is really an angel or it was merely an evil trick. “The Book of Sand” by Jorge Borges tells the story of a man who is obsessed with books. A strange bible salesman gives him a visit and offers an unusual “holy book." He explains to the man the value of ...

Winter

The kites snap under the slate-gray sky and I shiver against the bite of the wind. They’re colorful, like the rainbow thoughts that dance across the quiet of the mind right before sleep. The sun isn’t shining today; the sea isn’t the blue that I see on postcards. Instead, everything is gray, gray, gray. I’m cold but I’m still outside, braced against the wind, thinking longingly of the warm summer sun that stretches and wakes early.
It’s empty now, though; the beach, I mean. I can see the children playing in the ...

Black Kettle was a man who was a warrior, a hero, a peacemaker and a leader of the Native American Indian Tribe, Cheyenne. He was someone who always thought of his people first and did everything he could, to protect them. He guided them to choose the path of peace and live with resistance for their survival with the whites. Nonetheless, his efforts for finding peace did not turn in his favor.
Black Kettle was born in 1803 in the Southern Cheyenne tribe in Black Hills. He proved himself over time and became Chief of his council of forty-four ...

Sustainable Aquatic Ecosystem

The Pismo Dunes
The Pismo Dunes, also called Nipomo Dunes, are one of the biggest, comparatively undisturbed dune compounds located in California. These dunes stretched eighteen miles from the end of the northern part of Pismo State Beach up to Point Sal State Beach. In this essay, we will discuss the ecosystem of the Pismo Dunes and its processes that are commonly found in most aquatic habitats. We will also learn the management system used in managing and sustaining this ecosystem.
The Pismo Dunes are a dynamic ecosystem, which are one to three miles in width. These dunes ...

Question 1

The societal response to coastal changes caused by sand transportation has mostly been a moderate effort in harm mitigation. The erosion of shorelines and beaches tends to be seen as less of a cause for concern than higher-impact or episodic natural events, like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and tornadoes (Dilley & Rasid, 1990). Sand transportation, also known as sediment transportation, is the movement of sand and other earthy particles (such as mud, clay, gravel, or boulders) along a sloping surface due to the motive force of gravity. This causes beaches to erode and shorelines to retreat.
People have used several ...

One of the most obvious points to notice in both Didion’s Where I was From and Ortiz’s From Sand Creek is the sense of deception that both experienced about the places and land that they came from or migrated to. What was supposed to be a positive and enticing quality of the locations only became somewhat of a disappointment or let down based on what both authors express in their messages of their novels. While Didion’s perspective was from her European heritage and ancestors who moved westward under extremely difficult and risky terms, Ortiz’s perspective ...

Introduction

The bituminous sand that is found in Alberta, Canada is a key resource to Canada. It has played a key role in the development of the country. The mining industry in Canada has played a key role in the economic development of Canada. It has been discovered that nearly approximately 10 percent of oil is considered to be economically recoverable with the use of technologies that are currently being developed. With this, Canada is ranked the third in oil energy reserves after Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela. It is estimated that oil sands will account for approximately 25% of oil liquid supply in ...

Wind is a major limiting factor in the marine ecosystem. Wind affects waves, dune system, sediment transportation, currents, and weather. Wind has profound effects on the waves. As wind move over the surface of the oceans, the abrasions between the wind and the water surfaces lead to formation of waves. The speed of wind also affects the size of the waves formed. When the speed of the wind is very high, the abrasion between the wind and the surface of the water increases leading to huge waves. In the event that the speed of the wind is low, the waves ...

Hydraulic Fracturing Process

Hydraulic fracturing is a process through which fluids under high pressure are injected to crack a rock so as to allow oil and gas to flow into the wellbore. Once the rock is fractured, propant such as sand is injected to prop open the fractures to avoid sealing. During the process, water is used as a carrier fluid to transport the sand into the fractured rock matrix (Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation 4). The raw materials used for this process include sand and water, which make up 99 percent of the fluid used by Cabot. The other one percent is composed of chemical ...

Introduction

One of the significant stylistic elements of epic poetry is evidently the simile. Apparently, it is of great importance to note that similes are frequently used in the diverse and varied genres of both prose and poetry. In the ancient literature, the simile is sturdily associated with epic. Predominantly, similes in ancient literature are extended in their formations and essentially contain extensive details and differing comparison details. Homeric similes in particular have in most instances been used at the dramatic points of a given narrative with the main intent of comparing things to create a clear mental picture of the situation ...

Hawai'i was the 50th state to join the USA. It comprises 132 islands and is said to be the home of volcanic islands. These islands reside in the Central Pacific Ocean. Moana Loa is one of the top most active volcanoes that had formed the island of Hawaii in the ocean (Networks, 2016). The movement of plate tectonics has resulted in the volcanic eruption and, however, the volcano towering and presence of valleys had a significant impact on the economic value.

Theory of plate tectonics

Plate tectonics theory explains that upper layer of the earth’s surface is segregated into various plates that ...

The Earth is a temple. Man has been shifting and tampering with the Earth since the beginning of time, but no time hard hit as the industrial revolution. Whether the human mind perceives from religion, scientific facts or both, tampering with nature always comes with a price. The price of peace, the price of sheer humbleness, the price of pure existence in the raw form of nature in simple elegance.
The industrial revolution took sea and land by storm and the planet has faced a dehumanizing effect that will forever change the course of animated life, forever. The 19th ...

Visiting a carpentry shop, I came across a sand paper which may be the coarsest sand paper I ever touched. It felt like the grains are as course as the grains of the sand. After two minutes, I tried rubbing my fingers again but the sand paper seems to become fewer courses just like rubbing my fingers to a sugar in a cup. After another two minutes, I tried rubbing again my fingers to the sand paper and this time, it was not as coarse as the sugar anymore. The grains seemed to become finer just like the grains of a coffee. Thinking of ...

Abstract

Solid waste and wastewater are primary sources of pollution from food processing industries. The wastewaters usually contain high suspended solids, organic starch and sugars that may contain toxic substances to the environment. Solid wastes come from organic materials while the mechanical preparation processes need biological treatment before releases into the environment. When untreated, they find their way into other water plants like lakes and streams. Since they have higher nutrient content, they result of eutrophication of the water systems hence causing algal growth. It, therefore, compromises the stability of the aquatic ecosystems as the water quality is changed. It ...

The story “The sculptor Funeral’’ is about the funeral of Harvey Merrick who unlike the people of his town who are driven by greed chooses a different life and becomes a teacher in another town. Most of the people in his town view him as a failure. Many forms of critical approaches can be used to analyze this story. This paper has concentrated in two critical approaches in analyzing this work of literature the two are Marxist criticism and the reader response criticism.

The story “the sculptor’s funeral has demonstrated perfectly the Marxist criticism. The story is set to have taken ...

The beach at night feels completely different from the beach during the daytime. It is the same place, yet the atmosphere is changed. Gone are the daytime crowds of families, couples, groups playing volleyball, strolling retirees, and seagulls raiding unattended food. The darkness of the beach at night envelops with a sense of peace; the absence of the crowds illuminates other aspects of the beach not noticed during the day, it gives a feeling of freedom, and a little fear in contrast to the dominant sense of peace.

Stepping through the dunes and onto the beach itself overwhelms with darkness, the brief ...

Edmund Spencer’s sonnet is a beautiful and clear exploration of the fickle nature of life and of love. Through a dialogue between two lovers, the poet throws open questions about the meaning of immortality.

“One Day I Wrote Her Name Upon the Strand” is an attractive example of a sonnet. It is, as sonnets traditionally are, a love poem; it recounts the exchange between the narrator and a woman he loves. We learn that the speaker tried to write his lover’s name in the sand but that the tide washed it away. Almost straight away, we are aware of sand being used ...

As I step on the granular surface of the mildly sun-drenched beach, I feel the refreshing gush of ocean air, caressing my nostrils. The water is glistening in pearly evanescence, its serenity humbly interrupted by a thunderous squeaking of the children, valiantly rushing towards the water, only to huddle even faster back, to the safety of terra firma. The circular, luminous ball in the sky is not acknowledging the arrival of noon yet, and the lack of people, sunbathing on the beach feels more than good. As I am walking, I can feel the little grains of sand protruding through ...

Aquifer

An aquifer is generally referred to as a wet underground stratum of a permeable rock which seems to bear a substantial amount of water. An aquifer does not necessarily has to be based on a hard element such as a rock but can be found in other materials such as silt based grounds, gravel based grounds as well as on a sand based ground. Due to the essentiality of water to the living of human beings together with sustenance of the man’s main activities, human beings have devised techniques to extract such underground water bodies for his overall purposeful use. This is through extraction ...

Introduction

The significance of life is an existential question that many people find troubling through the course of their lives. People engage in different activities in the pursuit of what is significant in their lives; the meaning of life; the one thing that surpasses all. The subject has been explored extensively in many scholarly and works of film. The subject of the significant in one’s life has been explored extensively in the Woman in the Dunes, a film directed by Teshigahara, The Plague, a novel authored by Camus, Ikiru, a film by Kurosawa, and A Doll House, a play ...

The three impressionist paintings I have chosen include the works of Caillebotte, Monet and Conder. I chose these three artists as they are very different from one another in their styles and their use of color. I think that a variety in the office will give the office more life and leave an impression on visitors. Paris Street; Rainy Day by Gustave Caillebotte is one of my favorite impressionist period paintings. Caillebotte painted this is 1877. The painting depicts a rainy day in urban Paris. In the forefront of the painting is a man holding an umbrella with a ...

More and more people have questioned themselves with a contradictory question, whether they have accomplished everything that they have planned in their life and if there was enough time for all their intentions to put up with the idea that one day everything is going to end. What happens if the last grain of sand, which is counted for our lives, will fall down in the sand clock and will not mean the end of our life because we will have a chance to turn this clock over again and to start over from that exact place where we ...

Problem Solving

Abstract
Any parent has the right to the point of view on education. This applies not only to us but also the rest of others too. Someone does not want his child to play in the sandbox, as the sand will everywhere, and someone does not want the child's clothing to be covered in paint from painting. It has its own reasons and explanations, because no one wants bad for own child, everyone knows the nature of their child, and preventing or resolving to do something, they think it's only for the benefit of the child.

Concrete-Operational Period and Formal-Operational Period

Concrete operations stage is the third stage of cognitive development that was formulated by Jean Piaget. Children ages 7 to 11 years go through this stage, which is further divided into two sub-stages: the concrete-operational period and the formal-operational period.
During concrete-operational period, a child develops the ability to apply logical thinking about an object as long as it can be manipulated (“ ...

Introduction

For one to achieve success in any given casting practices, there must be a proper control in the variables required during the process. The variables may involve certain characteristics of the alloys, and metals used, the casting method, design of the mold, material of the die used, and the parameters used during processing. The casting quality is influenced by the cooling rate, gating systems, and the evolved gasses during the entire process. Precautions must be, therefore, taken to avoid defects during metal casting design. This paper also outlines the economic factors that are relevant and basic in casting operations.

Metal casting

For a casting process to be successful, various variables will need to be controlled. These variables will range from the characteristics of the metals, or the alloys, the specific method of casting, the molten metal materials and design and other process parameters. Others like the flow of the molten metal in the cavities, the gating systems, the gases evolved, and the cooling rate of the molten metals will influence its quality. This paper is going to discuss the design consideration in casting, the selection of the material processes, selection of the casting process, inspection and problems in casting and ...

Introduction and Statement of the Problem

Bedside shift reporting occurs as one of the most pertinent concepts in the context of health care. This can be attributed to the colossal role it plays in enhancing the process of care for patients. The core essence of bedside shift reporting entails the fact that it identifies all the care accorded to patients by nurses in the previous shift. As such, it offers a means through which patient care can be continued in a coherent manner. Despite the significant evidence that points to the fact that bedside shift reporting is important in patient care, it is yet to ...

There has been a rise in people’s energy consumption after the industrial revolution. Mostly coal and natural gas are used for this purpose, but there is much controversy regarding the extraction of natural gas. Fracking is the recovery of natural gas from deep layers inside the earth. This method means that workers use sand, water and chemicals to fracture porous rock. This is the way for the enclosed natural gas to be released. Although it became popular during the past ten years, this technique has been efficient since the 1940s. People resorted to fracking because they exhausted the ...

Beach tourism is one domain of tourism with an ubiquitous global presence. Vacations at beaches are a practice virtually all peoples in the developed world enjoy worldwide. As such, Beach tourism is a globally significant cultural institution of tourism. As a tourist destination, the beach is ubiquitous on a global scale, across national cultures and identities. This was not always the case, however. The beach was not a main tourist destination until a half century ago, following World War II. Its global rise in popularity was brought on through mass media which packaged and commodified the concept of the ...

In my research paper, I want to talk about such an important element as silicon. I will focus on its physical and chemical properties and application in life.
Silicon is a chemical element of the subgroup (C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb) of the periodic system of elements, nonmetal. The crystal structure of silicon is shown in Figure 1. Silicon was isolated in 1811 by Znan Gey-Lussac and L.Tenarom by passing the vapor of silicon fluoride over metallic potassium, but they did not describe it as an element. ...

A dream within a dream is a romantic poem by Edgar Allan. Throughout the two-stanza poem, the theme of love and romance takes center stage. The persona of the poem is a male lover, who addresses his ladylove through the poem. The poem opens with the speaker informing the readers about his dreams about a certain girl. The speaker openly tells the ladylove that she is actually correct in concluding that he (the speaker) has spent his entire life dreaming about her. However, according to the speaker’s choice of words, there is a high probability that he will not get the lady. According ...

The beach

On warm sunny day, strolling along the beach makes he felt the coarse sand scratching his bare feet. The expansive blue water dotted with fishermen’s boats and ships can be seen to vanish in the horizon. The sun warms the beach and makes everyone desire jumping into the water. Tiny crabs were scurrying everywhere. He was tempted to pick them up, and keenly look at them before letting them go. He became tired after strolling for some time, and decided to sit on the white sand.
The sea breeze blew, bringing onto the shore waves that broke ...

A walk around this place is always refreshing. On a lazy Sunday, or during the summer, droves of people are drawn here as iron to a magnet. The sight might not mean much to a lay observer, which makes it more beautiful to the keen observer. This particular beach has always been fascinating to me. It invokes a spiritual feeling, out of this world sensation that carries one from their present into a total sedative state of calmness and meditation. It is hard to pinpoint the factors that make it stand out from the rest of the beaches I have travelled. The mix of ...

Someone must turn the hourglass over!

For somehow the grains of sand gently slide
through the tiny space.

Someone must watch the grains of sand.

And someone must see the gap that remains
As the young sand drops and nothingness remains
Until the glass is turned over once more;
Till life and love begin once more.
The old grains of sand, now newly replaced,
Can rest in peace, dream and hope
That someone is still turning the hourglass.

Having walked the earth for roughly seventeen years, I have been able to create a rich palimpsest of experiences. Some recent, and conspicuous ...

Climate change effects on wild life

Introduction
In the times of the climate change being the top question on world’s agenda, we really need to start considering the consequences of these shifts not only for ourselves, but also for those, who might not be able to adapt to such changes. Various results of climate change will affect the wild life in different and maybe unexpected ways. Even before our society was concerned about the issue of global warming, animals had already been reacting by behaving differently, changing their life style, moving away to new areas, or simply perishing due to their inability survive ...

In the realm of abstract modernist painters, Georgia O'Keeffe is not often thought of as being among this specific group of artists. However, many of her works do fit into the realm of abstract modernism, with their strange obsession with objects and their vague connection to the landscape. For me, her painting Black Cross, New Mexico is a defining piece of what makes abstract modernism art, due to its ability to create general feelings of oppression and isolation through its too-close rendering of a black cross in the desert.

In this oil on canvas painting, 39x30" in size, O'Keeffe paints a large ...

Georgia O'Keeffe is one of the most influential and well-known artists in modern American history. Her unique vision and her ability to expressly capture the environments and objects she paints are well-renowned, as well as her capacity to bring evocative feminist messages through in her works. Ever since her discovery in New York in 1916, she has existed as one of the most integral female artists in the world, providing a uniquely feminine voice to art long before women were able to successfully break in a major way into the art community. Her unique and vivid style is exemplified in the ...
