Ink is an ordinary item but prevalent in everyday use. Some things that provide ink for its functions are expensive that not all people can afford. That’s why the researcher investigated a project that can help lessen the economic crisis for the production of ink. The researchers pounded some charcoal and combined it with alcohol. Added a small amount of vinegar to add stability to the ink. The Vinegar also makes it more permanent, once it has dried on the paper. Strained and transferred it to a container. After the study...

...Introduction Ash is a vital ingredient in the canine diet as it is the main constituent of minerals within most diets. Ash content in food is determined by burning the food to calculate the ash percentage left behind. A deficiency in any of the minerals within ash would result in a wide range of health problems which is why it is a legal requirement to display the ash content on food packaging. This experiment is designed to recreate the process undergone by the pet food company to determine the ash content within the food. Method Weigh silica crucible and record weight prior to experiment. Grind over 5g of food sample in pestle and mortar and measure 5g of ground sample into the crucible. (W0) Place the dish in a baking oven for 24hrs to dry out the sample. Reweigh the sample in silica crucible, This is now the true weight of the sample (W1) Set up the bunsen burner on top of the heatproof mat with tripod and clay pipe triangle above to support the crucible. Ignite the bunsen burner and begin to heat the sample slowly ensuring the sample does not set on fire as this will result in a loss of material to the atmosphere in the form of particles. The sample should turn black. Once the sample reaches roughly 100°C continue to heat to 500°C until the sample turns white. Allow sample to cool to room temperature in a dessicator. Weigh the finished sample (W2) Calculate the ash content (X): (W2-W0)/(W1/W0)x100=X Materials: Silica dish Baking Oven Bunsen Burner ...

...Gold strike Sutter’s mill When gold rush hits the California and created thousands of fortunes. Mr. John Augustus Sutter had bankrupted. Because his profitable 50,000-acre estate was overrun with miners, and his thousands of heads of livestock were stolen. Meanwhile, all his workers ran off to look for gold. But, who knows if that could leads to another fortune, Mr. John Sutter could probably change his main occupation from ranch owner to gold mine owner. As James W. Marshall remembered, it was 19th of January, but his not so sure, but it certainly is between 18th to 20th. There were some other sources mentioned it could be 24th. Anyway, at that day, he and his crew were in the habit at night of turning the water through the tail race they had dug for the purpose of widening and deepening the race. James Marshall used to go down in the morning to see what had been done by the water through the night; and about half past seven o'clock, he stepped into race, near the lower end, and there, upon the rock, about six inches beneath the surface of the water, he discovered the gold. It was so unbelievable that he had to use the little general knowledge of minerals he had to test it out. Then he returned with four to five pieces. He went up to Mr. Scott and told him he has found gold. "Oh! No, that can't be" was the answer he got from Mr. Scott. Then he replied positively - "I know it to the nothing else." then Mr. Scott became the second person who saw the gold. And soon everyone knew...

...Pick-n-Pull Value Analysis ######### ############### Healthcare Financial Management ############## June 2013 Executive Summary This paper discusses the EVA analysis of Schnitzer Steel Industries and Pick-n-Pull Auto Dismantling Inc. as both a part of Schnitzer Steel Industries and as a stand alone company. Pick-n-Pull is better served as an individual company. As their own entity, Pick-n-Pull would be able to grow its number of locations, sell their scrap car bodies to the highest bidder and expand into additional markets without having to seek permission and wait for approval for funds from Schnitzer Steel. This paper shows the reasons that in my opinion Pick-n-Pull would be a much better investment as its own company without Schnitzer Steel’s ownership. Established in 1987, Pick-n-Pull Auto Dismanteling, Inc. (PNP) is a chain of self-service auto parts stores and is one of the largest recyclers of end-of-life vehicles in the industry. They have 61 locations currently in the United States and Canada and while many other companies are closing location, they are continuing to grow. The basis for the retail portion of their operation is simple customers pay their admission to the yard (admission prices vary by yard location), bring their tools and remove the parts that they need for their cars, vans and trucks foreign and domestic at a fraction of the price they would pay a dealership or even an automotive repair business. Pick-n-Pull keeps an online inventory...

...export earnings at over US $ 10 billion. Textiles, alone, account for about 25 percent of India’s total forex earnings. India’s textile industry since its beginning continues to be predominantly cotton based with about 65 percent of fabric consumption in the country being accounted for by cotton. The industry is highly localized in Ahmedabad and Bombay in the western part of the country though other centers exist including Kanpur, Calcutta, Indore, Coimbatore, and Sholapur. The structure of the textile industry is extremely complex with the modern, sophisticated and highly mechanized mill sector on the one hand and the hand spinning and hand weaving (handloom) sector on the other. Between the two falls the small-scale power loom sector. The latter two are together known as the decentralized sector. Over the years, the government has granted a whole range of concessions to the non-mill sector as a result of which the share of the decentralized sector has increased considerably in the total production. Of the two sub-sectors of the decentralized sector, the power loom sector has shown the faster rate of...

...Essay mill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An essay mill (also term paper mill) is a resource that allows customers to purchase an original piece of writing on a particular topic. Customers provide the company with specific information about the essay, including: a page length, a general topic, and a time frame with which to work. The customer is then charged a certain amount for each page. [1] Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Products and services 3 Legal status 4 Criticism and controversy 5 Strategies for combating academic fraud 6 See also 7 Further reading 8 References History[edit] The ideology behind term paper mills can be dated back to the mid-nineteenth century in which "paper reservoirs" were located in the basements of Fraternity Houses. Otherwise known as "Fraternity files". these essay banks were practices in which students shared term papers and submitted work that had been done by other students.[2] These essay banks inspired the commercialization of ghostwritten essay-writing practices. As early as the 1950s, advertisements were circulating college campus that described services that included ghostwritten work for dissertations, theses, and term papers.[2] In conjunction with this practice, the changing attitudes of students in the 1960s and 1970s started to stray away from diligent and engaged course work because they saw an emphasis on the benefits of community involvement. A new focus on activities outside of the classroom took away from...

...property. This means that new gas lines must be installed. In January, Mr. Murphy overheard Mr. Byers, the project manager, discussing the requirement to add 3.5 miles of new gas lines slated to begin in June with an estimated completion date of September (3 Months). Having worked with the procurement of gas lines before, Mr. Murphy knew that the mills needed substantial lead times in order to accommodate Fauquier Gas Company's timeline. Mr. Byers advised Mr. Murphy the purchase request would be sent as soon as the design engineer was finished with the specifications and the project engineer approved it, both work areas fall under the vice-president of operations. When Mr. Murphy contacted Pat Wilson, the design engineer, he learned that the specifications of the pipes being ordered were changing from past orders. Instead of 3/8" wall thickness they were drawn at 3/4". This was done because the operation of the line would be governed by less stringent specification. The length of the pipes was also extended from 40'(+/-5') to 57' in order to reduce cost of welding. Lastly, the wrapping has yet to be determined which is supplied by the mill. As of April 14th, the purchase request has not been received by Mr. Murphy and no order for pipes has been made. Construction is scheduled to start in 6 weeks. III.
