I was lucky enough to find myself having fun with people who were complete strangers to me not one month ago, and despite that I was always losing willingness to make a journey to a city which was new with people who were unknown, I found that outside of my comfort zone was exactly where the most beautiful part of the world existed and thrived. That fine Tuesday, the sun had lost its fiery and the hot summer noon had eased into a calm evening in the scorching desert sand and all around me, people were talking and cheering. ...

Abstract

A sandstorm is characterized as one that whips up extraordinary loads of sand into the air, forming a dense cloud above the ground in the process. While most of the sand will rise higher than 50 cm, some sand particles can even ascend to the height of 2 meters. According to Wikipedia, the average diameter of the particles carried by such dust storm winds will vary between 0.15 and 0.30 mm. Wind speeds such during sandstorms have been recorded at up to 16 km per hour and more, while most storms continue to blow for between three hours to ...

Introduction: All most all metals are unstable when exposed to air. This is because of the tendency of the metal to be converted into its oxidized form on reaction with air. When compared to zinc, iron has a greater tendency to form oxidized form and thus has greater susceptibility to corrosion. The ability of metals to react with air varies and this determines their relative stability. As zinc is much stable when compared to iron, it is used to galvanizing iron pipe, thus preventing contact of iron with air and water that contains dissolved air. Brass is an alloy ...

Introduction

According to Alexander (2014), the oil sands of Alberta have around 1.7 to 2.7 trillion barrels of bitumen reserves. The recoverable oil resource in Canada is second only to that of the leading oil producer, Saudi Arabia. The vast oil reserves are capable of supplying Canada’s energy needs for over 500 years. Presently, nearly 40 percent of Canada’s oil production is generated from the oil sands (Alexander, 2014). They comprise mainly of bitumen mixed by sand and water. Alberta’s major oil sands are located in Cold Lake, Athabasca, and Peace River. Different deposits and areas have ...

Introductory remarks

Alberta oil is one of the largest oil fields in the world. According to Simon Dyer, “The Canadian oil sands are the second largest proven oil reserve after Saudi Arabia” (Dyer, 2009). The commercial development of the Alberta oil sand had begun in the late 1960s. By the time World War I had arrived, and after the war was over, Canada was almost entirely dependent on oil from foreign countries. Canadians, after the war, began to wonder if the nation had any oil resources of their own. This interest led to the creation of the Alberta Research ...

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 ...

Art can be, and is, often seen and understood in many contexts. In museums, visual arts are generally pleasing, and looked forward to with great anticipation. Musical art, in concert halls, is seen the same way. There is performance art, like that of the choreographer Anze Skrube, that is in high demand. Graffiti is another kind of visual/performance art, most of it connected with gangs, but not always, when considering the work of Banksy and other artists who try to do something positive with their talent. Art can be defined in two ways, according to Adajian. One of its ...

The appearance of Kabuki is attributed to Izumo Okuni a servant of the temple, which, according to the available documentary evidence, headed a predominantly female troupe that in 1603 staged presentation and light scenes (dance, comic sketches), choosing the parched bed of the Kamogawa River in Kyoto as their stage. Gradually, this company has gained national recognition and the plays by Okuni (and subsequently the entire genre) came to be defined by the term "Kabuki". Its basic meaning (literally – the technique of singing and dancing) was supplemented with a hint of "extraordinary" and "shocking" nature of the action. Kabuki ...

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 ...
