is having enough energy to complete my day. On most days I find myself starting my day at 6:00 a.m. By 6:30 I am sitting in front of my computer at work, completing school assignments and gathering information that will help me with my papers and discussion questions. At 8:30 I start my work day, which typically requires more research into developing plans and procedures that will help when disaster strikes our area. At 4:30 p.m., I will normally find myself leaving work and heading to some

cities are based on eight pillars comprises of buildings, energy, water, recycling, healthcare, mobility, services and finance. This paper focuses mainly on energy, environment and infrastructure which include all the eight pillars. The key drivers in smart city in terms of energies are maintaining grids reliability and stability, improving energy efficiency across the value chain, integrating intermittent CO2 free energy and intelligent energy storage. Smart infrastructure in smart cities are sensor

benefits such as how it decreases energy usage. However that claim among others is mainly false and the problems caused by daylight savings time are much more relevant. Because of the confusion and dangers, we should eliminate daylight savings time therefore ending the negative effects. Though some may argue that exposure to artificial lighting can lead to health issues as well as being wasteful of energy. Many people who think we should keep daylight saving time think “energy not only could be wasted but

weak intermolecular interactions between many different parts of the molecule. A catalyst is a material that donates energy to reactants in order to reduce their activation energy. In other words, they allow reactions to occur with less energy input (i.e. more quickly or at lower temperatures). The very specific shape of enzymes allows them to “fit” into a reaction and reduce the energy necessary for the reaction to occur. If their shape is changed, their ability to function as a catalyst is reduced
