Drug addiction is a constant war. It is a battle being fought between oneself, possibly family, friends but always, the drug. Yet for anyone that is struggling, there is hope. Despite our differences, there will always be a path to recovery. In “Water by the Spoonful”, Quiara Alegría Hudes incorporates several strategies and tactics through various character’s agencies and symbolism to ultimately create a piece that centers recuperation.
Verna Wang Hannah Palmer CHEM 101-069 Lab 11-19-16 Stoichiometry and Limiting Reagents Lab Report Purpose: We are using the reaction of sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride to illustrate stoichiometry by demonstrating proportions needed to cause a reaction to take place. Background: Just like a recipe would call for a specific amount of one ingredient to a specific amount of another, stoichiometry is the same exact method for calculating moles in a chemical reaction. Sometimes, we may not have enough of or too much of one ingredient , which would be defined as limiting and excess reagent, respectively.
The French artist François Lemoyne recreates in this drawing recreates the lower half of a human body, which includes a half exposed leg and a protruding suggestion of a knee behind it. He also incorporates a draping fabric over the half-body which do not cover the legs to their entirety and the half-body is suggested to be resting on leveled ground. The master artist uses black and white charcoal, and tinted paper as his medium, this allows him to make fast nonstop lines that, for the most part are not blended, giving the drawing a sense of rapid motion that immortalizes the physical movements of Lemoyne’s hands. The most distinctive characteristics of Lemoyne’s drawing is the variety of line work that are used in techniques throughout the drawing forming areas where the light reflects such as; the fabric, knee, and surface on which the figure rests; and the black areas of shading like
Mixture Separation October 6, 2015 Sasha Crowley Harrison Rossi Purpose The purpose of the laboratory was to determine the physical properties of four substances, then to separate a mixture of the substances based on their physical properties with limited amounts of materials available. Hypothesis
Hairspray the Movie’s Social Messages In the 1988 version of Hairspray the movie directed by John Waters, focuses primarily on the political and social issue of segregation of the African Americans from Caucasians in Baltimore, Maryland during the early 1960’s. The focal issue was the lack of everyday integration of television shows, as African Americans were not allowed to join the white dancers on “The Corny Collins Show” except for the last Thursday of every month known as“Negro Day”. Although the main female protagonist Tracy Turnblad fought for integration throughout the movie, she also established the importance of self-acceptance when it comes to body image. This message is prominent in the story through Tracy’s ongoing acceptance of
I selected the acid-test ratio for my sixth item to study as this targets M1 and other forms of assets that are easily convertible to cash. In 2013, Kraft appeared to have been in decent shape to pay off their current liabilities. In 2014, they fell further into the red. While this is not uncommon to have a low acid-test ratios, it indicates that Kraft would have difficulties paying off their liabilities. Something positive for Kraft having a low acid-test ratio is they have invested much of their highly liquid assets back into the company.
In this experiment, Analysis of Gaseous Products, a comparison between the elimination reactions created in the presence of an acidic and basic conditions was observed to be further analyzed through gas-liquid chromatography. These conditions were achieved by acid-catalyzed dehydration of a secondary and primary alcohol and based-induced dehydration of a secondary and primary bromide. As a result of these changing eliminations, gas-liquid chromatography makes it possible to separate and isolate volatile organic compounds to analyze the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of these compounds without decomposing them. Overall, gas-liquid chromatography of these compounds in acidic or basic conditions contributed in the identification and analysis
The overall project goals and central questions that has to do with the project is mostly trying to determine the isotonic concentration of the salt in potato roots and the use of the ideal soil salt conditions for the potato plant growth. In part 2, we had to test the enzyme activity that is in the was involved in the potato, so we can also determine the ideal soil pH conditions for the potato plant growth. In part 3, we were able to test absorb the leaf pigment at various wavelengths that determine the optimum light absorption conditions and was able to make recommendations for the light conditions that would be used un greenhouses. The goal of the first project is to determine the ideal soil salt for potato roots and we can relate this to the project is to find out if Solution A or Solution B has more solute in it. The goal of this project is to determine the meaning of Osmosis.
Crests main argument in this advertisement is that shoppers should purchase their brand of toothpaste. The most significant rhetorical analysis that is shown in this ad is logos. Logos is used in this ad with the assistance of other rhetorical devices such as diction and analogy.

Body Mass Index (BMI), Skin-fold thickness and Waist Hip ratio (WHR): Which one provide a better prediction on body fat ratio? Abstract Body Mass Index (BMI), Skin-fold thickness and Waist Hip ratio (WHR) have linkage toward body fat ratio. However, the strength of linkage of those index were not found yet. Linkage of body fat ratio between BMI, WHR, and skin-fold thickness are investigated by gender.
Rediet Legese iLab Week # 6 CRUDE OIL DISTILLATION Introduction: The aim of this week lab experiment is to experiment distill crude oil and to check how temperature determine the chemical properties of crude oil plus how the boiling point can also show physical properties. They are two major finding in this experiment. he first finding was the point at which the raw petroleum is heated to the point of boiling, at 275 0C, the gas and kerosene oil are refined, however the oil (lubricant ) stays as an unrefined feature oil.
Global climate change is a very serious problem that we must pay close attention to. The main reason that causes climate change is that there are too many carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. If the temperature keeps getting higher and higher, there will be many problems that can cause great damage to us and the environment. If we don’t replace fossil fuels with other clean energy, our Co2 level will be as many as the time of the dinosaurs and we don’t know what will our lives be if this really happened. The best way to solve this is by using solar energy.
