The Universal Shovel

A  hammer  is  seen  as   a  tool  used  to  construct  and  reshape.  This  is evident  when

The grindstone is a very good tool to have on hand for sharpening and grinding. Mostly for sharpening. Grindstones do come in larger sizes for the purpose of making flour and other quality foods.

Dead?" AlterNet. In this article, Frankie Colmane looks into how dead bodies are treated in the United State even after Mitford's expose of the funeral industry was published. The article takes both a philosophical and scientific issue with the procedure of embalming sighting proven negative effects to human beings and the environment. Colmane shows that even though people are aware of the malfeasance and misappropriations of the funeral industry following pieces like Mitford's, very little has changed. Therefore problems that have been discussed in earlier works should not be forgotten. Rather they should be continually brought up until the issue is solved. During the 1800s, embalming became common practice because the dead family member would lie in state within the home for a period of days or weeks until it would be buried (Colmane 2010). The article shows the duplicity such as when "funeral directors were arguing forcefully against charges that their mediation between the living and the dead translated into social obstruction that barred the stricken from facing death with maturity, realism, and honest" (page 2). This article will be used to illustrate that things have not changed with funereal practices despite the publication of Mitford's essay.

This road borders a wide expanse of land that is scattered with white crosses, which were used to collect and burn methane gas, and is marked by a soaring black monolith, the tombstone for the whole grave. Initially, it was a military base during World War Two, but it was converted into a government building and park in the late 1990’s. Following Elisha, a large portion of the land was converted once again into a massive graveyard. Requiring dump trucks and garbage trucks, the hole eventually filled up with bodies and subsequently, layered with dirt and

Tools have changed the face of carpentry forever. Newer tools have shortened the time of work, the quality of the finished products, and the depth of this project. Power tools have made a big contribution to these tools such as levels, plans, and crosscut saws. They do the work in less time and are now more accurate (Britannica). Specific tools that have helped are lasers and GPS. Their main use is for setting up the building corners and building perimeters. Before lasers and GPS was available, workers used to do all of this work using string and tape measures (Craig). Now the work is done far more accurately the first time. It has reduced the amount of time spent at

The type of broom you use will determine the preferred speed of the equipment. The size of the bristles, slope, environment and weather will all alter the speed and pressure you best operate at. When you turn on the engine, raise the broom head and allow it to run for 10 minutes.16 Do this at a low speed as it gives a hydraulic system a chance to warm up. 16

According to the cold/hot 2 lens, Brooke Jarvis reading, “The Deepest Dig” is partially good. However, later in the reading she could have done a better job if she would have mention the effects that could occurred due to the process of the seafloor mining complexity of the system. But what the okay part that Jarvis does is mentioning the activity of the sea floor mining tool, “Nautilus’s plan for Solwara 1, which the company intends to begin mining in 2017, is to use two large robots excavators to remove chimneys and the first 160 feet of the seafloor” (127.) Jarvis does a great job here telling us about the Solwara 1 system of this tool how is going to do a part of the seafloor

A Rube Goldberg machine is a device, invention, or creation used to perform a simple task. A simple machine is any of the basic mechanical devices for applying a force, such as an inclined plane or lever. If several simple machines are put together to cause a reaction, like turning on a record player, then the music will turn on because the energy transfers through all the simple machines eventually causing a string to be pulled turning the knob. One Rube Goldberg machine created was created to turn on a record player. The record player that was used required a knob to be turned. The first few attempts did not have the result wanted. Several changes were made to the machine to assure the outcome would be positive. Simple machines can be found

Throughout the course, I have paid close attention to the different methods of burial with hopes of finding an option suitable for my interests when I pass in the future. At Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, I took an interest in Amy Cunningham, an advocate for green burials. She had many wonderful experiences and expert opinions on the subject matter of types of burial practices but mostly accommodated natural full-body burials. The topic of green burials interested me greatly and upon further research, I found a sect of green burials where participants would use their cremains to help facilitate the growth of a tree. These tree burials seemed like a great solution the question I had proposed to myself while also aiding in the issue of overcrowded

On Aug. 8, 2015, during a question and answer session at the 20TH annual Michael Jordan Flight School basketball camp, Michael Jordan was asked who he considered the biggest trash talker he ever faced. His answer, Larry Bird. In fact, Larry Bird, is listed among the top 10 NBA ‘trash talkers’ of all time. Larry Bird would love our Solea Laser because, we can use it to clean up his mouth, painlessly!

Archaeologists have discovered thousands of stone tools dating back 10,000 years or more in Redmond, Washington.

Two of the devices in the Rube Goldberg machine are the lever and the wheel & axle. The lever is a device that reduces the amount of force needed to move an object, or lifting a load (fulcrum, force and a load). An example of a lever would be a see-saw, a see-saw is a play ground equipment that resembles a lever. This would be an example because it makes it easier to lift someone up who may be heavier than an average child. Another example of the lever is a stapler, this is another example because the staple also has fulcrum, effort and a load. The stapler works as a lever because of the way it is used, the pivot point is in the back of the stapler, the force is where it is pressured, and the load would be between the staple section and the

So, it’s about 1700 and my flight has just landed and everything went pretty well. We are closing up the bird and getting ready to go home. The helicopter is all tied up and wiped down and everything is start to look good. Then some last minute maintenance comes up and the VELOs need to be tightened an blade pins need to be safety wired. Shortly thereafter, about 2 hours because I’m a retard and safety wired the VELOs instead of tightening them, but that’s another story. We finish the job I come in to sign off the MAFs and BAM! I set my cranial down on the floor or desk I don’t recall and I didn’t see it again until the next morning about 70ft above the hangar floor. Now I know the importance of the tool control program I am about to, in

Ratchet are tools that are used in many areas and for plenty of people. They can be used for the adjustment a screw of a door loch, of a lamp, for materials at kitchen and for repairing different parts of a car. There are some situations that people demand to observe a small part of their cars, however, they have to disconnect unessential parts of the car because the ratchet being used is unappropriated - large enough to enter that parts. Consequently, some people have to find out a mechanical for doing a task that they should be. Additionally, other people are able to work on this but they may spend more time than the required. For this reason, a new designed ratchet might be more beneficial fore everyone since it could be used for confined

Today the society is looking for ways to ease life and to find solutions for problems which oppress our lives and make it hard to live through. Because of many reasons, the traditional burials in this century are becoming a problem. (Prothero,2001). The fact that they cover a lot of land to build cemeteries and other things that are attached to these traditional burials is enough for us to search for a practical solution. About a century ago the term "cremation" was unknown to many people. It is believed that it began to be practiced during the early Stone Age and still exists today. Since that time cremations have been made all
