...Global Warming and Energy Zrica Griffin HUM/111 February 12, 2012 Brian Deering Global warming is an increase in the worlds or earth temperature. Some say it is caused by the Green house effect, CO2, mankind, industrial, factories, gas, emission, sun, and etc. Others believe there is no cure for Global Warming due to the fact that the glaciers, Attic and the North Pole ice banks was placed on the earth by God to keep the earth cool. Now that the ice is melting the earth’s temperature is getting warmer or hotter eventually the ice is going to melt and the earth is going to catch on fire and burn. Some scientist and politicians believe in the green house effect, rather than to believing what the Bible says about how the world (or earth) is going to be destroyed. The Bible tells us the elements are going to catch on fire and we are calling this global warming. When the signs of time, wars, and rumors are in effect as this paper is being written. Who can go against the infinite intelligent that create the world in the first place to prevent global warming, when God created or made the world. Scientist, politicians, and all involved can do all they can to try to prevent global warming when no one have the resources to go against what the infinite intelligent has said in his written word. Read 2nd Peter the 3rd chapter. This paper may or may not reserve criticism due to the nature of these finding in the written word. What has been predicted in the written word no one can...

...feel softly from the chimney. He hid under the coffee table. He heard a large bump, and saw two black boots, in the chimneypiece. He followed the boots around the room, until they finally stopped, right before him. The person lifted the tablecloth and took him up. It was Santa himself! “Hello little boy, what is your name?” he said, and smiled in a friendly manner. “Jacob” he said. He took Jacob up the chimney, onto the roof, and into his sleigh. They rode over the night sky. Jacob was astonished by the view. He watched, as they flew over London, Paris, and Berlin, and in all of the places, he came with Santa down in the houses. When they were done with all of the houses, they rose from the roof of a small house, and flew towards the North Pole. It started getting cold, so Santa Claus took out a jacket from one of his bags, and gave it to Jacob. The northern light illuminated the sky. Small snowflakes brushed his cheeks. They landed on a landing strip right outside a great factory. Santa took Jacob inside and showed him, where all of the presents are made. Small elves stood by long assembly lines. Jacob felt a bit sorry for the elves, and asked they never celebrated Christmas. Santa said that they did not have time to celebrate Christmas. When Jacob and Santa had wandered the halls for some hours, Santa had to go to his office. As Jacob had seen how tired the elves were, he got an idea. He wanted to free them. He waited for...

...Staying Just in Time for the Holidays North Pole Workshops is faced with a multitude of demand planning, production and logistics problems. With just five weeks left until their annual delivery due date, they are under pressure to resolve short-term issues in demand fluctuations and capacity constraints, but Santa and his team are also concerned about the long-term feasibility of delivering cheer to a growing population of believers. North Pole Workshops has room to improve in all areas of the SCOR model; that is, the plan, source, make and deliver functions need to be addressed in order to improve the overall performance of the supply chain. The short-term production issues for this holiday season involve the increasing demand for the Timmy CD and the possibility of a drastic decrease in demand for the Meowrrr. However, Santa’s elves are also aware of increasing demand from China and Eastern Europe, and since those markets are assumed to be unaffected by the negative commentary on the Meowrrr, the excess product can be used as safety stock for those growing regions. Because they already have more Meowrrrs on hand than predicted demand, the production capacity of Meowrrrs can be completely turned over to the other products based on the next trend. This may be the number 2 and number 3 items for that age group (girls 8-15), but they should also do some quick analysis of TV ads in North America to determine any up-and-coming trends in December for that...

...Pole to Pole I came to know how the power of sun drives our world’s climate and the life giving cycle of water. How animals adapt to the climate of planet earth. Also learned about the climate zones and how the sun shapes the earth’s climate as a whole. The animals shown in the film adapt to their environment depend on many things like the animals that live in the severe cold weather (very low temperature) such as polar bears and caribou have thick furs. The caribou specifically has hollow winter hair and the polar bear has many layers including fur which helps them stay warm in the cold climate in which they live in. Amur leopard also lives in cold weather but they do not have fur as thick as the polar bears. Another animal that lives in such a severe cold weather are penguins, since they live more together in groups, they densely pack themselves together to keep warm. This happens by the body temperature that radiates out of a penguin and helps warm another. On the other hand, the animals that live in the rainforest live a life without much difficulty because there is a lot of rain falling, which helps grow plants and once those plants are eaten by herbivores, then the carnivores have something big and healthy to eat. Moreover, the rain is the ultimate reason for the animals living in the rainforest to survive easily compare to the animals living in the severe cold weather. As the availability of food, water and a habitat become accessible in the rainforest for them to live...

...1818 is the revolution of literature with Science fiction. Shelly begins her novel with the introduction of Robert Walton through four consecutive letters written over the course of 8 months to his ‘darling sister’; Mrs Margaret Saville. Robert Walton is shown as a free minded pioneer who wants to discover ‘land surpassing in wonders’. Letter I, in the very first letter Shelly impresses the readers with the courage and bravery of Walton who is discarding his sisters worries ‘no disaster has accompanied….evil forebodings’. Readers are immediately intrigued as to the complexity of this danger. Walton’s love of ‘undiscovered solitudes’ and his desire to find the ‘wondrous power’ of the north pole is ironic because the novel is a science fiction genre and the idea of discovering the north pole was the same until the 1800s. In addition, Walton’s desire for discovery can be portrayed as being naïve and desperate as he wants to feed his ‘ardent curiosity’ and ‘conquer all fears of danger and death’ In addition, Walton is highlighted to be a man with dreams who wants to leave an ‘inestimable benefit’ and wants to benefit all of mankind. This could be foreshadowing Victor Frankenstein’s desire to benefit mankind which creates trouble. Robert seems to be very motivated as his ‘dream of early years’ is about to come true. Hence, he is maybe someone who likes to follow their dreams despite all hurdles. ‘My education was neglected’, if in despite of having no education he is still was...

...what is the probability that you will here it play? b) These new Christmas lights have said to last for 300 days with a standard deviation of 50 days, what is that probability that the Christmas lights will last 365 days? c) The average number of houses that Santa visits in an hour is 10,377. What is the probability that Santa will visit exactly 10,380 houses in the next hour? 4. Confidence Interval Problem We are very concerned about Santa’s weight this year regarding the amount of presents we can put on the sleigh. So we would like to estimate the average weight of an adult male in the North Pole. We draw a random sample of 1,000 men and weigh them. We found that the average man in our sample weighs 180 pounds, and the standard deviation is 30 pounds. What is the 95% confidence interval? -180± 1.86 -180± 3.0 -180± 5.88 -180± 30 5. A) If there were a toy shortage in the North Pole, Santa would have to make a change in order to meet their deadline. Statistically, Santa would have to figure out how many toys each elf would have to make and how much time they have to make all the toys. Santa would have to manage all the elves and market positive strategies for creating new toys as well as making sure no one in the world finds out about this situation. B)2 of Santa’s reindeer have gotten sick. They wont be well enough in time to fly around on Christmas Eve. Santa will...

...When the first time I have heard about the 1000 dead birds falls from the sky in Arkansas, I did not believe it at first. Then once I got home, I went on the internet to do a bit of researching because this mystery was somehow interesting to me. After reading few of the articles, I found out that it is because of the loud noise that causes the mass death of these birds. I think that they should cover this issue quickly because if many more birds are going to die again, it would mess up the nature’s food chain, and it would lead to other issues. However, I would like to come up with other theories that might be the cause of this mystery. From my point of view, we are in a period of intense seasonal meteor showers, and several YouTube users reported hearing sonic booms in the area that could have indicated a local shock wave. This would be one non-hidden, natural cause that actually makes sense, but it is hard to connect to both birds and fish, unless it produced a deactivating frequency. There were indeed other sound exceptions according to the report highlighted above.” There is also an excellent article by The American Dream collated data about the recent earthquake activity along this fault line that runs along the mid-eastern section of the U.S. Combined with gas exhaust, the huge geological activity in the region, and the BP oil drilling disaster, which produced off the dispersant, Corexit, into the atmosphere, and we should be wondering about...

...A: The weather in April is still cold; I believe that our earth is going to an end! B: It is because the problem of global warming is getting more serious. A: Why does such a phenomenon happen? B: There is rapid economic growth among nations, but there are few restrictions on emitting greenhouse gases. A: On the other hand, when we turn on the air-conditioner continuously in summer, the temperature of outdoors will increase, intensifying the problem of temperature rising. B: Because of global warming, the climate will be more extreme. Natural disasters such as flooding, typhoon and drought will occur more frequently. A: Moreover, the ice in the North Pole melts and the water level rises, then some islands will be drowned. Furthermore, if we still do not take the right actions to alleviate global warming, the Maldives will very likely to be submerged. B: Why don’t the regions co-operate together to ease this problem? A: No, do you remember the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen? It aims at reducing global carbon emission and controlling the emission of greenhouse gases in developing countries. B: As I know that this issue is still being discussed and no consensus among nations has arrived yet. I hope that the above measures can be carried out. A: Before they can make a decision, as a global citizen, we should take our responsibly for saving the earth. For example, we should only turn on the air-conditioner if necessary...

...Raymond Yuan Frank Martinelli English 2100 GTRD 26 October 2015 The Bride Frankenstein Journal The movie begins with Captain Walton leading an expedition to the north pole, where he stumbles upon a man named Victor Frankenstein. You soon find out that victor falls in love with his sister, Elizabeth. Here, you can already see the difference between the two versions of the Frankenstein movies. It was a weird but still a good twist. Victor believes that the only way to cheat death is to create life. Waldman warns him that it is dangerous and that it probably won’t turn out so well. Waldman dies and victor takes his notes and uses them for his experiments. .He eventually manages to create a monster that runs off with his journal. The monster successfully learns to read English and vows vengeance against his creator. Meanwhile, victor goes and marries Elizabeth, his sister. The creature approaches victor and also wants a bride using Justine body parts. After Victor refuses, the creature kills Elizabeth, victor’s lover. He quickly repairs and revives her lover. After finding out what was happening, Elizabeth decides to burn herself and the mansion while she was at it. Victor Frankenstein dies after telling Walton his story and his vow to kill his creation. The creature overhears the story and weeps over his dead body, ultimately burning himself and Victor with him. I found that a major theme in this version of Frankenstein is that sometimes true love is never meant to be. The...

...attracted iron pieces. From that day onwards began the journey into the discovery of magnets. These days magnets are made artificially in various shapes and sizes depending on their use. One of the most common magnets - the bar magnet - is a long, rectangular bar of uniform cross-section that attracts pieces of ferrous objects. The magnetic compass needle is also commonly used. The compass needle is a tiny magnet which is free to move horizontally on a pivot. One end of the compass needle points in the North direction and the other end points in the South direction. The end of a freely pivoted magnet will always point in the North-South direction. The end that points in the North is called the North Pole of the magnet and the end that points South is called the South Pole of the magnet. It has been proven by experiments that like magnetic poles repel each other whereas unlike poles attract each other. http://www.howmagnetswork.com/ Materials Needed: * Fishing Poles made with meter stick with hanging magnet * Ziploc/ Plastic Bags filled with about 10-12 items (metal, paper, wood, cloth, etc) * Paper & Pencils, * Manila papers & Markers Procedure: Step 1: Fold paper in half lengthwise - one side titled Magnet Will Pick Up, and the other, Magnet Will Not Pick Up.

...metallic structure. At the other extreme are small pocket compasses of low precision intended for casual use. Regardless of their intended purpose or the complexity of their construction, most mechanical compasses operate on the same basic principle. A small, elongated, permanently magnetized needle is placed on a pivot so that it may rotate freely in the horizontal plane. The Earth's magnetic field exerts a force on the compass needle, causing it to rotate until it comes to rest in the same horizontal direction as the magnetic field. Over much of the Earth, this direction is roughly true north, which accounts for the compass's importance for navigation. Area of compass unreliability The horizontal force of the magnetic field, responsible for the direction in which a compass needle is oriented, decreases in strength as one approaches the North Magnetic Pole, where it is zero. Close to the pole, an area is reached where the frictional forces in the pivot are comparable to the horizontal forces of the magnetic field. The compass...
