“I hate hearing my voice, but I love watching it…Do you know what I want to see? intensity vs. Frequency that would be cool, but right now I just see intensity vs. time.” This summarizes the daily life of Dr. Glen R. Kowach in one thought. Dr. Kowach is a professor and the vice chair in the chemistry department of The City College of New York. He is also the most approachable and famous person in the chemistry department. He was born and raised in in Milwaukee, WI in 1970. By the age of 7, after receiving a chemistry and geology set for his birthday he dreamed to be a scientist. Initially, he was fascinated by the shapes and colors of the rocks and the color changes and odor of the chemistry. However, he had the desire to expand beyond the
Andrew Ure’s family was very well off, therefore, he was fortunate enough to have a excellent education. After attending and graduating from Glasgow University and also Edinburgh University he became an army surgeon for a brief period of time. Following the military service he decided to go into teaching and became a professor of chemistry and natural philosophy at Anderson College in Glasgow, Scotland. He taught for 20 years and became extremely popular for his evening lectures about chemistry and mechanics. His crowd started with as little as 50 people then grew to about 500 people each lecture.
Growing up in suburban Detroit, David Hahn was fascinated by science. He often conducted experiments in his basement and enjoyed making things such as homemade fireworks, brewing moonshine, and even making his own self-tanning lotion. Hahn especially loved chemistry and spent much of his time doing amateur chemistry experiments. The chemical reactions in these experiments sometimes went wrong and resulted in small explosions. We learned about chemical reactions in class this semester. He loved to read “The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments” that his father had given him and tried to collect samples of every element in the periodic table, including the radioactive ones. We learned in class about the elements in the periodic table and how they are identified.
Kotlwitz reveals to incredible ability What's more passing water to as much article; as much point by point methodology to composing empowers book fans to structure visual pictures of the neediness that surrounds the inner-city poor. Hosting required primary hand encounters with the West side community, Kotlwitz effectively illustrates those hardships that are faced, making as much bookworms unavoidably feel compassionate. Despite this indicates him will make a point about conviction, as much portrayal of the inner-city poor Concerning illustration defenseless consumers to standard of America obviously uncovers the author’s subjectivity of the issue; Hosting depended All the more with respect to rationale Also rational, Kotlwitz might need to produce to a stronger contention. Nearing those limit for as much article, Kotlwitz finishes up that the exchange of designs the middle of bunches may be a false association. Furthermore, a transfer, for any form, will be at last even now a connection; as much rejection of the connection, done turn, makes as much decisive contention skewed until furthermore decreased.
Are You as Happy as You Seem? Joshua W. Shenk had an article issued in June of 2009 called “What Makes Us Happy?” Shenk gives an efficient argument for the reasons a person can be happy with their life. Shenk article follows the lives of many different people which, in turn, in his article employs anecdotes, pathos, and rhetorical questions. In addition, Shenk shows his credibility through his use of ethos.
Richard Leonard Kuklinski was born in the Polish section of Jersey City, New Jersey. His mother, Anna McNally was a devout catholic and his father, Stanley Kuklinski, worked on the railroads. His father was an alcoholic who beat Richard regularly. Richard was one of four children and had an older brother who died from his parents abuse. Heather Mitchell and Michael Aamodt (2005) say that, “Childhood abuse has been given varying levels of blame in the development of serial killers. De Baker (1997) quoted Ressler’s research and stated that, ‘100 percent [of serial killers] has been abused as children; either which violence, neglect, or humiliation’ (p.55).’” (p. 40). Kuklinski began killing cats as a child. Research says “Violence is a pattern
In Schenck v. United States, Charles Schneck was a member of the executive committee of the Socialist party during WW1. He was in charge of printing and distributing of 15,000 fliers to discourage men from submitting to the draft. The U.S government under Woodrow Wilson however had passed the Espionage act of 1917, which had made speech like Schneck’s illegal because it acted as interference to military operations and recruitment. The Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous decision that Schneck’s conviction was constitutional. The reasoning given was that because this was a time of war justice Holmes said, “the question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring
The modern world is rapidly changing. Events occur and often time’s only one side of the story gets told. But to every event there are multiple way to view it. Take the history of the United States of America for example. In Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen’s book A Patriot’s History of the United States, the United States is viewed in a positive light. It tells the facts about the United States in a strait forward manner. However in Howard Zinn’s book A People’s History of the United States, the United States is generally viewed in a negative light. Zinn highlights how the country has caused problems while rarely admitting that in fact the United States has done more good for the world than harm. While both books are inherently biased based
Dennis Rader was born on March 9, 1945 in Pittsburg Kansas. He was the eldest of four sons born to William and Dorothea Rader. When Dennis was young he recalls his grandmother strangling chickens which led to his obsession with strangulation. Eventually, he started to kill cats and dogs by hanging them as a young child. As early as his elementary days, Rader admits have had sexual fantasies about bondage, control, and torture. Dennis knew he had to keep his inner world a secret from everyone, and he did just that. He went on with his life resisting temptations.
Jonathan Kozol, Savage Inequalities: Children in America’s Schools is an intense expose of unjust conditions in educating America’s children. Today’s society of living conditions, poverty, income, desegregation and political issues have forced inadequate education to many children across the country. Kozol discusses major reasons for discrepancies in schools: disparities of property taxes, racism and the conflict between state and local control. Kozol traveled to public schools researching conditions and the level of education in each school. He spoke with teachers, students, principals, superintendents and government officials to portray a clear picture of the
Accelerated Chemistry I is a demanding course that involves critical thinking and problem solving. Throughout the course you will be asked to analyze data, draw conclusions, process new information, and build your own understanding of chemistry concepts. Only after you have investigated new ideas will you discuss them formally. The model we will be using in class is - engage, explore, explain, evaluate. You will be asked to analyze common occurrences such as melting ice cubes and burning candles in order to understand the chemical processes that allow them to occur. You will analyze the relationship between macroscopic properties and microscopic structures, which in turn will help you to gain a better understanding of the world around you,
Klinenberg in this article talked about the research done by the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The reason for their research was to find out matching pairs of the relatives that were involved in the heat wave and friends of the victims that can answers questions about the lifestyle of the victims. He was interested in the victims’ social environment communities. “The map of the Chicago community areas that experienced the highest heat-related death rates shows that the community areas hit hardest are concentrated on the South and West sides of the city, the historic Black Belt where the city’s African Americans have been concentrated and segregated.” (Klinenberg, 81) Klinenberg was interested in discovering why African Americans were
Analyzing and research has been a part of me since a child from researching what’s the best way to make a marshmallow launcher for my fourth grade project to finding and identifying ions present in unknown solutions in my chemistry qualitative lab. Slowly my mind started to uncover things I’ve never been fond of before, especially
The fear’s very existence is caused by the lack of easy-to-access chemistry information for the public. Much of the knowledge the average American receives on a daily basis is through coverage in popular culture, and chemistry is simply not mentioned as often as the two other major sciences, biology and physics, on a daily basis. In fact, the only direct relationship most Americans have with chemistry is in a high school lab. A survey by the Royal Chemical Society, the oldest non-profit chemistry society in the world boasting a membership of over 50,000, found “the two most common words adults associate with the word “chemistry” are “school” and “teacher.” Once a person ends their formal schooling, however, they rarely learn more about chemistry in a professional environment. Despite being just as, if not less, dangerous than biology and physics, chemistry is not feared as much by the public because it is not mentioned in everyday life as often as the other two sciences. When the European Space Agency’s Philae lander made contact with the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the world watched in awe as a human invention made contact with a comet for the first time, an incredible achievement in the world of physics and astronomy. However, there was no attention given to the fact that the sole purpose of the Philae lander was to fix a chemistry lab to the surface of 67P. It is no wonder why physics took the
There are many pressing questions that as both humans and social scientists, it's important to try to interpret them for a better understanding of the way they work within society. Steven Pinker, a Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, provides examples of taking that curiosity and using it to develop theories towards the relationship between violence and human nature. This has lead to various ideas about the root of human morals and what that is encompassed of from biological, psychological, and sociological perspectives.
For “premium” chocolate maker Scharffen Berger (SB), quality is king. Their distinct process creates a “taste experience” second to none, an unparalleled quality that must be maintained despite apparent capacity issues. To satisfy the rising market’s demand for its product, it must address three primary issues related to capacity: bottlenecks, expansion, and economies of scale. The current bottleneck in the Conche (output=1,344 kg. /day) will be remedied with the installation of the ball mill, however other bottlenecks will be created starting at the Melangeur. A cost-benefit analysis has determined a need for a second melangeur as well as added Roasting time from 8 hours/day to 12-13 hours/day to keep up with the
