public became aware of the energy crisis, following in the wake of the oil crisis in the 1970s, thus there was a brief setback to the use of glass. Which introduced the use of glass architecture, where architects and engineers, were experimenting on making glass adaptable and releasing its full potential in structures. The use of glass was to capture solar energy, and hence the use of natural sources of energy, in an environmentally compatible way. In addition to these
Science. I like the topic quite a lot, but it’s far too broad for a two page essay – I can and have gone on far longer than that about a single research topic. Now, an essay about the intersection of me and science… Though it’s still an extensive topic, it can be reasonably compressed to a few pages if I skip all the boring details. But all the fun is in the details and I want this to be a fun essay, both for me to write and for you to read. So we’ll have to narrow it down a little further, to
There are so many benefits of water that sometimes we do not even look at the cost of it. Some of the benefits of water can be the taste, health, and convenience. When drinking this water we never look at the effects of it. We do not always benefit from the plastic water bottle. We should consider the environment, and how it may be harming it. What is it that actually makes the water so good and worth buying? How much we can save from no longer using these bottles. An example of this can be seen
traditionally been the low suburban density of Melbourne. It is the second tallest building in Australia and the tallest building in Melbourne. One of its main features to the building is its sky deck which can give a 360 degree view of the city. The glass cube also known as the edge extends itself out from the building and is able to hang over the edge of the tower which is also great for viewing. I was lucky enough to visit this beautiful structure last year when I visited Australia. When I travelled
probably see several pieces of glass: a window, reading glasses, mirror, computer screen, a lightbulb, maybe even a vase. Glass, with its design, is a vast and innovative material that has countless applications. It is an necessary component of numerous products that we use every day, most often without noticing. Few mass-produced substances add as much to modern living as glass does. It is clear that modern life would not be made possible without the manufacturing of glass. The curious physical, optical
Imagine being in a hall filled with empty bottles scrattered along the floor. Kids shuffle past them with out picking any up. Bottles at strewn about the community, and people are constantly dropping more. I believe bottled water should be banned in schools. Here are my reasons to explain. My first reason bottled water should be banned from schools is because of litter and trash. When I am at school I notice that there are empty and half full bottles in the hall. People drop them or just leave then
Don’t Drink the Water by Woody Allen should be implemented in either history, english or both of them at the highschool level. There are many reason as to why Don’t Drink the Water should be in the classroom at an earlier stage than collage. First of that being the author of the piece itself. Woody Allen is considered one of the finest playwrights of his era. That era being as close as it is today speaks volumes. Another reason being the play is very easy to understand and appealing to high schoolers
Obstruct Lena Coakley’s science fiction short story, “Mirror Image”, depicts a teenage girl, Alice, and her family’s life after Alice becomes the first ever person to successively receive a brain transplant, where they remove her brain and place it into a body similar in age and gender. As Alice is adjusting to her new body, she also has to accustom to her Mom and her once identical twin sister’s view of her identity; is she Alice, or the teenage girl who donated her body to science when she passed
When you hear the word 10 million what do you think? It’s a pretty big number, Right? Well, that’s the estimated amount of active landmines left in Afghanistan after wars. Hello classmates and Mr. Pollard. Today I will argue about the production and use of landmines in war. Landmines were invented by the Chinese in 1277. Since their creation there have been countless deaths and injuries caused by these weapons. From 1999 to 2008 there have been a total of 73576 casualties, that’s the same amount
Plastic is used in everything from food containers, to shoe soles, plastic bottles, baby bottles, sippy cups, medical devices, dental sealants, water bottles, specific hard plastics, and reusable water bottles. Additionally, inside these packaged items is a synthetic compound lining that has been used to reinforce these plastics and cans for more than 40 years (Shaw). The packaged plastic that contains newly manufactured items and goods are expected to be safe, sterilized, and reliable enough to

One of the many things I enjoy doing is cleaning my car. Others see this as a grueling and endless task with no benefits. I clean my car as a way to de-stress and I like the satisfaction of having a clean car. It helps me de-stress because I clean my car early in the morning around 9 or 10 o'clock when there is no one on the street. I project myself as a neat and organized person and my car, or rather my parent’s car, reflects that. Would you sit in a car with empty bottles lying around,
darkness. It was late and I was desperately searching for a late night snack to sustain me until the morning. The house was abnormally quiet that night. I could usually hear the gentle whir of the freezer, But not that night. I heard a tap on the glass window, followed by another. Rain began to dance on the gravel outside, and the trees seemed to whisper as a breeze blew through their branches. I remember smiling to myself; I have always loved a summer rainstorm. Food in hand, still half blind
yet enjoyable, victory dance. Taking a look at my spoils from the window, I lathered in the moment. Mother Nature had nothing on me; I was in the control, or so I thought, until I spotted that same flea-bitten bird on the beam again. Pecking on my glass window, I tried scaring it away. It looked in my direction and didn’t flinch. So I raised the blind and yelled (yes, yelled), “IT’S WAR NOW!” He flew to the fence and, I’m sure, off to find more material to build with. And then it hit me: I had just
almost choke me, but I couldn’t do that I had to be silent. The smell of from my cloths was worse then all this combined, as it was covered in the blood of these things to make us “blend in”. I was shaking from fear and didn’t realise I had tipped the glass from a lamp of s...

People usually buy high index eyeglasses because of their aesthetic appeal. They don't produce the bug eye or beady eye effect, and their thinness makes them compatible with a wide variety of stylish frames. With non-glass lenses such as the 1.67 high index lenses, you also benefit from their lightness, which is an important consideration for spring and summer outdoor activities. For comfort reasons, heavy lenses don't lend themselves well to hiking, extended walking, or running. By choosing an
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
BAN PLASTIC BOTTLED WATER Did you know that, according to Peppard, “bottled water samples can contain phthalates, mold, microbes, benzene, trihalomethanes, even arsenic” (mindbodygreen.com). This is an important problem because if you give this water to people that survived a hurricane they’re already suffering so now you could give them a deadly disease or poison them. Plastic water bottles should be banned in Waunakee. My first point is, according to Christiana Peppard “The plastic in the
