...From reading the advice Seneca offers in his letters, I would conclude that Seneca’s ideal lifestyle would include one full of enjoyment. In his letters Seneca stresses that it does not matter whether life is short or long, we all have to die at some point, so why not live life doing things you enjoy. Seneca believes that friendship is extremely important and should be valued. He believes that friendship is a serious matter, and that you should you should think for a long time before allowing a person your friendship or not. But once you have given your friendship, you should trust your friend the same as you trust yourself. In his letters, Seneca also warns Lucilius of some things he should avoid such as wasting time, being fearful of death,...

...Ideal Life I’m sure many people have a concept of their ideal life. It would include fame, fortune, travel and servants. This is not an ideal life this is an ideal fantasy. I have those too. Of course, they would include all of those things and some hunky men too. That’s fantasy though. My ideal life would contain things I think most people would say are reasonable. I’d like for the people I love to be healthy and happy, myself included. I want those same people to have what they need, be it support, food or medical care. I want them to get the same treatment if their name is Smith or Bush. I want a job that won’t send me into a nervous break down and the chance to follow my interests. I don’t think that is too much to ask. I’ve managed to find my partner in life. He’s not perfect, but I believe he is perfect for me. We fight, as couples do. We love and we laugh. When things get hard, we hold on to each other for dear life. We have had some struggles that could prove to be catastrophic to a marriage. Problems, that you can easily see, how they would tear you apart. I am so blessed, that instead of ending our lives together, we grew closer. It’s a miracle. Of that, I have no doubt. We stood together when we spent day after day in doctor’s offices, failure after failure. We held hands while medications took me on emotional roller coaster rides. He stood and took my craziness when I couldn’t control it. He loved me while I was falling apart physically...

...When I was in kindergarten I had my life seemingly planned out. I was going to be a teacher Monday through Friday, work at a pizzeria on weekends, and work at a local jewelry shop, Lu’s, during the summer. Now that I’ve grown up a bit, I’ve realized how incredibly impractical this employment path would be. My dream job has changed exactly twice in my life. Once in middle school, where it went from teacher to lawyer, and once this year from lawyer to linguist. I don’t have an idea of where exactly I want to go to college, but I do have some guidelines. I don’t have big fanciful dreams about a home, instead simplistic needs about transportation and mortgage. As a highschool freshman, I don’t have many things set in stone, but I do have two definite...

...In one of our weekly questions we asked, "What makes a great boy/girlfriend?" We then compiled all the responses and created a list of our favorites! Someone who knows what you need before you say it. Someone who knows when to laugh and when to cry. Someone who truly listens when you have something to say. Someone that's there for you during the good and bad times. Someone who is caring . Someone who loves you with all their heart and soul. Someone who is interested in reality and not as a fashion display. Someone who is honest. Someone you can trust them like a sibling, confide in like a friend but most of all, love as the great lover they are. Someone who is open and responsive. Someone who is never critical and ill-tempered in respect to your needs. Someone who knows when things have to be compromised in the relationship. Someone who understands listening is a key, but using what is heard is even more important. Someone who's there for you no matter what. Someone who is trustful. Someone who is a friend. Someone who gives a shoulder to cry on. Someone with a great sense of humor. Someone who has things in common with you.

...“Wilde empowers his female characters but also undermines them”. To what extent do you agree with this view? Wilde’s comedy of manners play, The Importance of Being Earnest, holds a satirical outlook on Victorian life. Wilde uses both satire and farce in his play written and set in 1895 to depict a slightly exaggerated version of society as it was, with all its forms of hypocrisy, double standards and repression of women. Wilde chose to invert the usual gender roles in Victorian literature by portraying the women with a position of power and influence in their relationships and the men as fairly passive. However, as Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff “Bunbury” about the women they love, they appear to dominate not only their facades but the women’s own lives and relationships. In addition, Wilde uses comedic effects throughout the play when presenting Lady Bracknell, Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew, allowing them to be seen collectively as foolish and incredibly naïve. Lady Bracknell is first and foremost a symbol of Victorian earnestness. Initially, we see that she is powerful, arrogant, conservative, and proper. In many ways, she represents Wilde's negative opinion of the Victorian upper-class, their power and conservative and repressive values. Lady Bracknell's authority and power are extended over each and every character in the play. Her decision about the suitability of both marriages in the play provides the conflict of the story. She tells her daughter quite...

...passengers from harm in a head-on collision. Airbags react within milliseconds of a crash, and the folded nylon bag quickly becomes inflated with nitrogen gas. The inflated airbag has the role of being a cushion for passengers and prevents them from hitting into the steering column and dashboard, which can cause painful injuries for passengers. Airbags were invented by John Hetrick in 1953 after Hetrick, his wife and young daughter got into a car accident in 1952. The family was driving around the Pennsylvania countryside when suddenly a huge rock on the road forced Hetrick to swerve into a ditch. With no restraint systems, Hetrick and his wife had to grasp their daughter back to ensure that she would not hit the dashboard and to save her life. In the 1950s, car passengers who got into accidents had very severe injuries, and those who did survive these accidents typically had horribly mutilated faces, nicknamed by doctors as “steering wheel faces”. Hetrick decided to take action to ensure the safety of other drivers that got into accidents. His idea for the airbag was based off of work he had done on torpedoes, which had an inflatable canvas cover. His idea was patented in 1953, and in this, he stated, “This invention has reference to an inflatable cushion assembly adapted to be mounted in the passenger compartment of a vehicle, and arranged to be inflated responsive to sudden slowing of the forward motion of the vehicle.” Hetrick wanted his technology, consisting of an air accumulator...

...Kinetic Theory Objectives • Describe how the kinetic-molecular theory is used to explain how gases behave at different temperatures. (Exploration 1) • Analyze data that shows how gas particle mass affects that gas’s behavior. (Exploration 2) • Describe the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution. (Explorations 1 and 2) Description of Activity The kinetic-molecular theory states that a collection of gas molecules’ average kinetic energy has a specific value at any given temperature. In this activity, you will study how temperature and gas particle mass affect the frequency distribution of gas particle speeds. You will examine and analyze speed frequency distribution graphs. This distribution is called the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution. Jump Start 1. What is kinetic energy? 2. What is thermal energy? 3. What happens to a gas’s thermal energy as that gas’s temperature increases? 4. What happens to the average speeds of the particles in a gas when one increases that gas’s temperature? Safety Discussion If you conduct this experiment in a laboratory setting, be aware that gases heated in a closed container could result in the container exploding. Exploration 1: The Effect of Temperature on Gas Behavior Procedure 1. Choose any gas from the list box. 2. Set Temperature to any value. Observe the shape of the frequency distribution of speeds graph. Sketch this graph. Record...

...What impression do we get of Crooks here? Crooks is known by his disability. This is represented when the narrator says ‘crooks the negro stable buck’. This suggests that not much respect is shown to Crooks because he has been labelled by his disability. The fact that we are unaware of Crooks real name proves this. Furthermore, he is also known by his race “negro”. This implies that Crooks is racially segregated from other ranch workers. He shares most of his room with the Horses belongings. ‘Both for himself and the horses’. In my opinion, this shows how unfairly the boss treats Crooks. This is because he already has a little room as it is and because he is a permanent ranch worker he needs a lot of room. If most of the room will be covered by the Horses belongings there won’t be a lot of room for Crooks possessions. Due to Crooks disability, he is a permanent ranch worker. This meant that he could leave his things lying around with anyone having a say. ‘Accumulated more possessions than he could carry on his back’. My interpretation of this Crooks has a lot of possessions which he has but only has a little room to them all in. Previously in the novel we are aware that Crooks is unable to socialise with the other ranch workers. He has been isolated because of his skin colour. Therefore ‘he kept his distance and demanded other people had kept theirs’. This tells the reader how upfront and close minded of a character Crooks is. Crooks also has a book called the “California...

...CHM 1101 Introductory Chemistry Dawn Fox Medeba Uzzi August, 2007 Compiled and edited by Medeba Uzzi Authors’ Note This document is an initiative by the authors in an attempt to deal with what they think may be one of the reasons contributing to the relatively high failure rate in the introductory Chemistry course (CHM 1101) at the University of Guyana. It was brought to our attention that many first year students taking CHM 1101 are unable to efficiently cope with the frenetic pace of the Semester system and even less able to deal comprehensively with the large content in CHM 1101. It is hoped that by providing this paper, students will not need to make lots of notes in lectures and so they can focus on grasping the concepts taught. The document is meant to be a guide to the topics covered in CHM 1101 and is by no means exhaustive. Students are still required to attend classes regularly and punctually and to engage meaningfully in lectures and tutorials. Further, supplemental reading of these topics in any good General Chemistry text is expected. Dawn Fox Medeba Uzzi 2 SECTION 1 – Modules A – D: section deals with the foundation for chemistry.

Ye, M.A. van der Hoef, J.A.M. Kuipers∗ Fundamentals of Chemical Reaction Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Twente, P.O. Box 217, 7500 AE Enschede, The Netherlands Received 17 November 2004; received in revised form 8 March 2005; accepted 8 March 2005 Abstract We report on 3D computer simulations based on the soft-sphere discrete particle model (DPM) of Geldart A particles in a 3D gas-fluidized bed. The effects of particle and gas properties on the fluidization behavior of Geldart A particles are studied, with focus on the predictions of Umf and Umb , which are compared with the classical empirical correlations due to Abrahamsen and Geldart [1980. Powder Technology 26, 35–46]. It is found that the predicted minimum fluidization velocities are consistent with the correlation given by Abrahamsen and Geldart for all cases that we studied. The overshoot of the pressure drop near the minimum fluidization point is shown to be influenced by both particle–wall friction and the interparticle van der Waals forces. A qualitative agreement between the correlation and the simulation data for Umb has been found for different particle–wall friction coefficients, interparticle van der Waals forces, particle densities, particle sizes, and gas densities. For fine particles with a diameter dp < 40 m, a deviation...
