There was a distance between me as a woman and the creature in the dress, even though I knew that under that dress she was just as solid as I am, just as warm. She was othered by that dress. Woman and not-woman, snake and Eve, both at once. Monstrous. You come by later to visit, and we sit down with the catalog and look. When I show you the picture of the snake dress, you say, "That's dead sexy." I was offended, initially. Confused. Looking at the photograph now, though, the catalog spread
to catch the reader's attention. Some "grabbers" include: 1. Opening with an unusual detail: (Manitoba, because of its cold climate, is not thought of as a great place to be a reptile. Actually, it has the largest seasonal congregation of garter snakes in the world!) 2. Opening with a strong statement: (Cigarettes are the number one cause of lighter sales in Canada!) 3. Opening with a Quotation: (Elbert Hubbard once said , "Truth is stronger than fiction.") 4. Opening with an Anecdote:
nature of the snakes and their relationship with the snakecharmer. There is no consistent rhyme scheme to the poem, and almost all the stanzas in the poem have run-on lines to the following stanza. The effect these create is a general atmosphere of inconsistency and disorder. The run-on lines also place an emphasis upon the last word of the stanza and the first word of the following, helping the poet impress upon the reader the significance of words such as “river”, “tongues”, “snakes”, “shapes” and
Measurement of Density Purpose: To gain an understanding of the physical property of density. To gain skill in measurement of mass and volume, in addition to the construction of graphs and the physical interpretation of slope. Procedure: Part 1 Regular solids 1. Use the metric ruler to determine the length, width, and height of aluminum and iron cubes to the nearest 0.5cm. 2. Use the balance to measure the mass of each item listed above to the nearest 0.1g. Part 2 Water Displacement 1. Obtain a 50.0mL
to avoid foaming-over during fermentation. After all of the must has been poured into the fermentors and the sulfur dioxide has been added, the fermentors should be covered with cheesecloth or plastic to keep out insects. Temperature, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and the free and total SO2 of the must in each fermentor should be determined and the results recorded. Adding sulfur dioxide Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a chemical compound that has been used in winemaking for more than a century
fabrics available were mostly natural fibers like cotton, silk, linen, and wool. Daywear was most often in shades of white, brown, and black, commonly in a small figured or floral print. Eveningwear consisted of lightweight silks in sometimes brighter solids or light-colored hazy prints. In this particular period, fancy trim meant status. Trim was very excessive as possible on shoulders, waist, and the lower half of the skirt. Items used included were lace, embroidery, jet beading, flowers, ribbon, and
whole. There are four distinct states of matter: solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. There are other states of matter such as Bose-Einstein condesates and neutron degenerate matter, but those states can only be found under extreme conditions. These phases can go from one to another when affected by certain things, which is known as phase changes. To switch from a solid to a liquid, the solid must melt. On the other hand, to switch from a liquid to a solid, freezing must occur. Furthermore, to switch

point is. A freezing point is defined as a temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. A melting is the opposite of the freezing point. It is defined as a temperature at which a solid, turns into a liquid. That in order to freeze pure water, the water must reach a temperature of less then 0˚Celsius. They also must have knowledge that in order to change pure water (in the solid form) to a liquid, that solid must reach a temperature above 0˚Celsius.
A drone’s frame is its skeleton. Not only does its rigid structure support all the other components of RubiQ’s body, but it also defines how she measures up in the emerging world of drone classification. From insect-sized nano drones that slide snugly inside a shirt pocket to stealth combat drones operated by the military, not all drones all created equal. Because the field of drones is continually expanding, an official class system has yet to emerge — except when it comes to racing. In the world

"Is the glass half full, or is it half empty?" My fourth-year grade school teacher presented this question one day in class. I remember sitting more towards the rear of the room; I was the problem child. There was a book, Alicen Jones's book actually, and in that book was a picture of a glass of milk. My teacher Ms.Corson was ecstatic to share this page with these developing minds. Is the glass half empty, or is it half full? The class shouted their answers. A majority agreed that the glass was half
This experiment demonstrated how to purify benzoic acid by means of recrystallization. The original benzoic acid solid sample used contained 5% salicylic acid, an impurity. Benzoic acid is of the following structure: Salicylic is of the following structure: For part 1, after boiling and dissolving benzoic acid in water, we allowed the solution to cool and recrystallize, first at air temperature and then on ice. As the solution cooled at air temperature, the benzoic acid started to recrystallize
chemical explaination involve in the answer of question, which is why ice is slippery. İNTRODUCTİON When we talk about phase transition, probably the first thing which comes to our mind is a visible example of transition of water and ice from liquid to solid. It is obvious that many of us have experienced the slipperiness
salt affects the freezing point of ice cream. Background Information Water is made of water and hydrogen molecules, when bonded, they form a crystalline structure called ice (worldofchemicals.com). During the change of water from a liquid to a solid, water molecules move slow so they can’t leave the intermolecular attraction between water molecules. Ion-dipole forces occur between water molecules and a sodium ion. The slightly negative charge of oxygen in water is attracted to the positive charge
The effect is that the freezing point lowers it causing the water more time to turn into a solid. In terms of particles, why are some substances more effective than other in lowering the freezing point? Because some substances have a strong dilute than others and dissolve more in the water. When we assessed our products in the test tube project
Matthew Harrison Brady, of Inherit the Wind by: Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, never fooled anyone. He may have seemed strong in the beginning but he no substance under the shell. Such a false front can be compared to water behind an earthen dam. It may hold some water for a time but once the water finds a weak point, the whole structure comes crashing down along with the fury of all the water behind it. Within brady, the water represents the gooey inner core of his personality. Once he loses
because the solid as a whole isn't going anywhere. How is that possible? Imagine a large crowd of people standing around, in line, perhaps, for concert tickets. They could be standing quietly or shoving and milling about, even though the crowd isn't going anywhere. It's like that with solid objects, which are really vast "crowds" of individual atoms, that may be quiet (cold) or may be milling around excitedly (hot). A hot (jumpy) solid contains more energy per unit volume than a cold (quiet) solid. If we
When ionic solids dissolve, they divide to give their positive and negative ions that make up the solids. These ions become hydrates and have the same relative proportions when in solution and when solid. The more the solid dissolves, the more the ion’s concentration increases. This increase and build-up allows for the reverse reaction to occur. In this phase of the reaction the ions crystallise out in order for the reaction to have a greater chance of occurring. Eventually the rate of dissolving
cycle of copper through many chemical reactions. What we are going to do is take a piece of copper metal put it through a series of reactions that change it¡¦s state of matter and chemical formula, but in the end, we will return it to it¡¦s normal solid state. The idea of this lab is to try to recover as close to 100% of the copper we started with. Theoretically, this is possible, but for inexperienced college students, retrieving 100% of the copper metal is near impossible. There are five reactions
