5 December, 2017 The Chemistry Behind Ink Pens Do we not hate when we have to ask another other person for a writing utensil? “Excuse me, do you have a writing utensil I can borrow?” It is a feeling no one likes, but a question that is always asked. However, the question, ‘what is in the writing utensil that I used today? is not a question that is so frequently asked, but it should be. Sharpie is a perfect example of a ink pen that is composed of many different chemicals. If you are going to consistently use something throughout your life, would you not want to know what was in the item you were using? Sharpie is one of the many types of permanent markers. According to sharpie.com, “Today, Sharpie stands for far more than just markers. Made to write on, stand out on, and stay on practically any surface, it’s The Permanent Marker born for unique, unruly, courageous, outrageous self-expression that never, ever fades from glory. We are the bold original, genuine article, and cultural icon of Permanent Markers.” (sharpie.com).

Sharpie markers contain mostly alcohols, however, they also contain ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and permachrome ink. Ethylene glycol monobutyl, also known as 2-butoxyethanol, is an organic compound that is nonvolatile, has a low toxicity, and is used in many domestic and industrial products because of its properties as a surfactant (Wikipedia.com). A surfactant, also known as surface-active agent, according to dictionary.com, is “a substance, such as a detergent,that can reduce the surface tension of a liquid and thus allow it to foam or penetrate solids; a wetting agent”

Expo markers were invented in 1975 by a man named Jerry Woolf of Techform Laboratories. The whiteboard pen also called a whiteboard marker, was later patented by Pilot Pen in 1975. The first useable marker made was invented by Sidney Rosenthal's Magic Markers. Magic Markers started to sell in 1953. Expo markers are used by many people, like for example teachers use them for various things like teaching a class, reminders, and at home. Some people use white boards for calendars, or maybe using the expo markers to write down the weekly dinners. Doctors and dentists may use expo markers to write down information on a patient's next appointment.
Our group decided the pen was Vis-a-Vis wet erase marker for multiple reasons. This first reason was that the colors appeared very similar, as most other pens appeared very dark with shades of blue on the TLC, while Vis-a-Vis and the unknown marker were lighter and had shades of yellow and light blue. Our unknown pen
Paper towels were invented by a school teacher in 1907. She felt the germs were being spread by the students who dried their hands on the same cloth towel. At the same time Arthur Scott heard about it and his company. Scott paper company accidentally made toilet paper too thick. When Arthur Scott heard about the story, he thought of making more thick toilet paper rolls and introduce them as Sani towels. And they were to be used in the kitchen to clean up messes.
The National Check Fraud Center recommends for people to change the type of pen that he or she signs with in order to protect him or her from falling victim to this crime. The majority of both ballpoint pens and dark-inked markers have a rich dye base. This simply means that switching pen types can help protect individuals from check washing. There are security pens that have a completely different ink base. Among water-resistant inks, the inks’ gel does not allow fluid to pass through it making it a safer pen. Gel pens have been found to be the most impervious pens and have been discovered as counterfeit-proof pens. These counterfeit pens are secure from acetone and many other chemicals used in check washing. According to a recent study performed by the National Check Fraud Center, a specific and inexpensive pen called Uniball 207 makes check washing much more difficult for the check washers. The Uni-ball pen has been around for over 125 years. Originally made of wood, this pen was first started in 1887 by “Niroku Masaki and ten employees in Tokyo… with these wooden pens history begins.” When check washing became a serious problem worldwide the Uni-ball company business leaders began attempting to create a pen to trump all others. Only a few years ago did this company create the
Ever since I started to seriously think about my future, I had aspirations of getting a degree and becoming a professional. Specific careers have changed constantly, ranging from becoming a teacher to an engineer. As I got older, I began to assess my strengths and weaknesses as well as my likes and dislikes. I know a college education is essential in today’s economy and society. Doors are opened to those with college degrees and a better lifestyle is guaranteed. A college education is not only economically beneficial but intellectually as well, for it provides a unique learning experience as it caters to an individual’s interests
My favorite video game character is Bendy from Bendy and the Ink Machine. I will start with the background of Bendy. Then it will be Corrupted Bendy. And next Disbelief Bendy. And finally Ink Monster Bendy. I believe you will like it! So it begins as Joey Drew drew Bendy.
Individuals of all professions depend on learning from others to attain abilities and knowledge necessary to practice their profession. Doctors are vital as they treat our illness and save lives every day. I am grateful for the ones that has devoted their lives to aid others .What about what doctors will not tell you. Ted Talk by Dr. Wen is an eye opener about what your doctor won't’ disclose and paint a different picture of a health care provider. Doctors should release medical information to their patients.

This process involves heat and water also in which low-silica mafic and ultramafic rocks are oxidized as well as hydrolyzed with water into serpentine. Peridotite, including, dunite, at and near the seafloor and in mountain belts is also converted to Serpentine, as well as brucite, and magnetite other minerals, and even native iron.
This paper addresses the question: can unnatural amino acids be successfully incorporated into the mouse genome in a temporally and spatially specific manner? Han and his associates claim that (1) they have developed a system for incorporation of unnatural amino acid incorporation, (2) the acetylation they induce is spatially and temporally specific, and (3) that this technology will allow researchers to develop better in vivo studies of how cellular proteins affect physiology and disease. In this review, I will contest all three claims. Specifically, I will show that claims 1 and 2 are only qualitatively true: there is no proof that these things happen on a quantitative scale which is relevant for modeling disease, and that there are

Tape art was an amazing experience. Up until we were shown other examples of tape art, I had no idea what we were in store for. Also, before we got started I had very little faith in myself. I’m not an artsy person and I came to terms with that a long time ago. Therefore, being placed in front of a large wall and being told to depict something as complex and daunting as the solutions to income inequality was terrifying. This brings up the other terrifying component to Sunday. Problems are very easy to identify but solutions are hard to find. Economic equality is a huge problem and as a rising junior in college, I felt so underqualified. However, as we brainstormed and bounced ideas off of each other it didn’t seem as bad. In terms of artistic
