...How to Change Spark Plugs Is that car of yours not running right? Losing in power and acceleration? Or do you just want more life out of your engine? The best way to get all of this is routine maintenance, but it normally cost a large sum of money! Well, here is something you can do yourself that will get you power, acceleration and more life out of that engine. Changing your own spark plugs. This is how you git-r-done. First, check your owner’s manual to find out what kind of engine you have. This will tell you how many spark plugs are needed. Then you can start to gather the things you will need to get the job done. Go to your local auto part store. Tell the clerk what you know so far and he will get you what you need. This is also a good time to get the tools if you don’t have them. You will need a ratchet, ratchet extension, chalk, spark plug grease, proper size socket and a cold drink is all you will need. Now that you have all the tools and supplies, it’s time to get to work. Removing the spark plugs is simple task. Locate the spark plug wires. Pick a spark plug wire to start with. Next, remove that wire from the plug with a little tug. Then, mark the wire and area close to that spark plug with the chalk. They should be similar markings per pair a simple 1, 2, 3 type of order will work fine. After, you have done one set, repeat the removing marking process for the remaining spark plugs and wires. Make sure that each wire has the same number marking as the plug it...

...Six Reading Myths ©Academic Skills Center, Dartmouth College 2001 MYTH 1: I HAVE TO READ EVERY WORD Many of the words used in writing grammatically correct sentences actually convey no meaning. If, in reading, you exert as much effort in conceptualizing these meaningless words as you do important ones, you limit not only your reading speed but your comprehension as well. MYTH 2: READING ONCE IS ENOUGH Skim once as rapidly as possible to determine the main idea and to identify those parts that need careful reading. Reread more carefully to plug the gaps in your knowledge. Many college students fell that something must be wrong with their brain power if they must read a textbook chapter more than once. To be sure, there are students for whom one exposure to an idea in a basic course is enough, but they either have read extensively or have an excellent background or a high degree of interest in the subject. For most students in most subjects, reading once is not enough. However, this is not to imply that an unthinking Pavlovian-like rereading is necessary to understand and retain materials. Many students automatically regress or reread doggedly with a self-punishing attitude. ("I didn't get a thing out of that paragraph the first time, so if I punish myself by rereading it maybe I will this time.") This is the hardest way to do it. Good reading is selective reading. It involves selecting those sections that are relevant to your purpose in reading...

...Honors Algebra II Supplemental Notes Oblique Asymptotes Key Concepts: An oblique asymptote is an oblique, or slanted, line that the graph of a function approaches, but never touches, as x → ∞ ( x approaches infinity). To find the oblique asymptote of a rational function: 1. Reduce the rational function P( x) to lowest terms. An oblique asymptote can be found Q( x) when the degree of P ( x) is one greater than the degree of Q ( x ) . c 2. Divide P ( x) by Q ( x ) using long division to get the form ax + b + , where a, b, and Q( x) c are constants. 3. The term c c → 0 as x → ∞ . Eliminating the remainder , we are left Q( x) Q( x) with f ( x ) → ax + b as x → ∞ . y = ax + b is an oblique asymptote for the rational function P( x) . Q( x) 4. f ( x) = 4 x3 + 9 x 2 x2 + x Follow the steps outlined above to determine the oblique asymptote for the given rational function. The first step is to check that the rational function is reduced to lowest terms. If not, we must reduce it. x(4 x 2 + 9 x) 4 x 2 + 9 x / f ( x) = = x( x + 1) x +1 / 4x + 5 x + 1 4x2 + 9x −(4 x 2 + 4 x) 5x −(5 x + 5) −5 We use long division to put form ax + b + 4x2 + 9x in the x +1 c . Q ( x) 4x + 5 + −5 x +1 Determine the value of f(x) as x → ∞ . This is the oblique asymptote. f ( x) → 4 x + 5 y = 4x + 5 CTY Distance Math Oblique Asymptotes 1 y = f ( x) = 4x + 9x 3 x2 + x y = 4x + 5 This graph displays both the rational expression f ( x) and its...

...Cameron Coffee 10/3/2014 POS2041 During a morning swarming with spectacle and ceremony and faith, Elmira Mangum was mounted Friday as Florida A&M University's 11th president. Mangum, the first female leader in FAMU's 127-year history, purposely chose Founder's Day, the celebration of the university's creation in 1887, for her inauguration and swearing-in ceremony. The previous vice president for budget and finance at Cornell University highlighted time and again during her address that it is a new season at FAMU. She also surprised the audience with an announcement of a new $5 million gift from FAMU graduate John Thompson, chairman of the board at Microsoft. The installation took place in the Lawson Center, the same facility where the FAMU Board of Trustees interviewed Mangum and selected her to be the university's permanent president. The ceremony also served as a moment of closure for James Ammons, FAMU's 10th president. He resigned in July 2012 in the aftermath of the hazing death of a marching band drum major, but he was on the stage with Mangum Friday and presented her with the university's presidential medal. “Its weight is a reminder of the heavy responsibilities that must be willingly carried by all who occupy positions of leadership," Ammons, now a political science professor at FAMU, said. "It was indeed an honor to drape you with this medallion.”Mary Breaux Wright, international president of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority – Mangum's sorority – gave one of the liveliest...

...Nate Robinson Professor Kinley EET-115 Lab 4 Write Up October 9, 2014 Part 1 In part 1 of the lab, I constructed this circuit on my protoboard. Once I had the circuit set up correctly, I set up a truth table showing the inputs and output for the designated inputs. Shown here is the truth table: D | C | B | A | X | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | To figure out what the output would be (X) I had to Demorganize the circuit equation to make it simpler to work with. When I simplified the equation, I ended up with an equation the represented a 3-input OR gate. In order to test and make sure that this was valid, I checked the logic level of the output with my logic probe. Based on the truth table, we can conclude that as long as one of the inputs is a logic level 1, the output will also be a logic level 1. Part 2 In part 2 of the lab, I constructed an additional circuit on my protoboard that looked like this: Once this circuit was constructed, I Connected the Function Generator to input A, and Connect CH1 of the Oscilloscope to input A and CH2 to the Output. Then, I set the function generator for a 1KHz square wave. Once that was done, I proceeded...

...Anyone looking to work in the restaurant business shouldn’t be expecting to just walk in and know exactly what they are doing. I run food, which sounds easy at first, but after awhile it becomes an extreme pain in the butt. Something as simple as giving food to a customer can become utterly annoying. I learned many things through working in restaurant. “It’s dog eat dog world”. This sentence reminds me how hard to keep restaurant business. One of the biggest misconception about the restaurant business is that people seem to think it’s easy -going. I can say one thing for sure, a popular restaurant will never be an easy-going restaurant, but working at a popular restaurant is the only way to make any sort of money. making money in a restaurant can often become competitive. For the servers and food runners, it’s all about making money, so it is inevitable that some workers are going to butt heads. Sometimes, I find myself hustling over to a table of people before another one of my workers can get there, it’s almost laughable but that’s just the way it works. Some might even go as far to say that the business is “dog eat dog” amongst the workers. It really is simple, whoever waits on the most tables is going to make the most money. Don’t get me wrong though, a server could wait on the most tables all night, but if their service isn’t good the amount of money they makes will be...

...Satonga Brown How to Escape From Conflicts? Everest University The character that I feel, that escape the most compared to the other characters would most definitely be Tom Wingfield, the son of Amanda Wingfield. Tom and his mother Amanda always seem to butt heads between one another, no matter what. Tom had a job in a warehouse that paid him only sixty-five dollars a month. He had become friends with a guy named Jim, who was a clerk in the same warehouse as he worked. He had a sister named, Laura who was born with a childhood illness that later left her crippled. And, his overbearing mother Amanda is just caught up in her own little world of realization. Tom has always seen himself being more than just working in a warehouse, he actually wanted to become a seaman and explore the many different adventures that a seaman could explore. But, he put his dreams on hold to take care of his mother and his disabled sister. It seems as though Tom haven’t been pleased lately at how his mother treats him and sort of boss him around as if he is a little boy. Tom always wanted to move out his mother apartment and venture out on his own to see what the world had in-store for him, but it seem as if his mother was always his downfall and holding him back from achieving his goals. Every time Tom and his mother would get into an argument, he would say “I’m going to the movies!” (CCi Custom Edition, 2008). The movie was a way for Tom to have peace and quiet from his mother and to...

The aesthetics of the coffee table are contemporary but original, looking simple but effective. Design Brief In the Industrial Wood Technology course we have been allocated the task of designing a coffee table. The ethnics of the coffee table is that it needs to be within the given size allocation of no higher than 200mm and no larger than 1000x1000mm. Areas of Investigation There are many different components within the task of designing a coffee table. One area of investigation includes the type of wood that might be used in relation to how you want the table to look aesthetically. Another area would be the way in which you integrate a certain design to fit into the surrounding area. The funding is also another important area that needs to be investigated in order to use the budget efficiently. Criteria to evaluate Success Does the table fit its original purpose? It is aesthetically pleasing? Does the design incorporate the required joints? Does the table follow the given size limitations?

...Children from the now of days spend more time watching television than they do in the classroom. This can be helpful to children if it’s used as a learning tool, like channel 11, or Dora, Word World or other educational cartoons shows. The level of violence that they see on Cartoon Network is to violent and not educational or just plain fun entertainment like I use to watch. Morning programming is about 20 to 25 violent acts per hour. Are we just looking for ratings or popularity? At this rate, the average American child will see 8,000 murders before they finish elementary school! This has to stop our children will have no child hood not an innocent one. As a child sits in front of Television, with his or her eyes glued to the TV and not making a sound in being so in to a channel you have not selected, you may want to sit down and actually view what they watching. One day I sat with my children and let them navigate the channels and of course SpongeBob came on. At first it was ok then Patrick and SpongeBob began to curse but using words that grownups may use so children don’t know they are cursing, and my children began to laugh as if they knew what they were saying. I immediately got upset and changed the channel and banned it form in my house hold. We have to remember that the entertainment media plays an extremely powerful role in the formation of values and morals, to all youngsters' minds of all ages. These programs "play" with kids' minds; these programs have a tremendous...
