Last time our consulting firm found several major
points of question and recommended solutions. Some
of these recommendations were implemented with
excellent success. The first and most arduous
problem we examined was of expansion. Our
recommendations for expansion were put into effect

Buying a Computer today is much more complicated
then it was ten years ago. The choices we have are
abundant, and the information we must gather to
make those choices is much greater. The average
consumer is a more educated buyer; they at least
have some ideas of what they want in a computer.
Yet, we must still ask ourselves these significant
questions; such as: What will the primary function
of my computer be? What computer components should
I consider at the time of purchase? How much money

Billion Years Ago Solar System

... alvarez's case, and see if it was flawed. This
job was turning out to be more fun than I had
expected. On my second reading of Alvarez's
letter, I found it particularly dubious that the
Cretaceous and Eocene extinctions should be
excluded. How do we know that asteroids do not hit
the Earth periodically? I asked. Maybe our failure
to arrive at a theory just meant that we hadn't
been clever enough. Not finding something is not
the same as proving it is not there. I decided to
reserve judgment....

1945, with the first U. S. atomic test called
Trinity. The device was comprised of 19, 300 tons

heat, and then a tremendous roar as the shock wave
echoed in the valley (Bolt 1). This was the first
atomic test recorded in the history of the world.

ultra-violet, infra-red, microwave, radio, X-ray
and gamma-ray regions. The scale of the spectrum
is so large that no region is distinct, several
overlap each other. Each of these regions in the
electromagnetic spectrum represent transverse
waves, travelling as electrical and magnetic
fields which interac...

Polar Bears Body Temperature

First of all we need to understand what
ectothermic and endothermic animals are. Animals
differ in their abilities to regulate body
temperature (thermo regulation). We sometimes use
the terms "cold-blooded" or "warm-blooded. " Most
reptiles feel cold to the touch, while mammals and
birds often feel warm. Somewhat more precise
descriptions can be made by using the terms
poikilothermic and homoiothermic. The body
temperature of poikilotherm is relatively
variable, while that of homeotherm's is rel...

The beginning of the CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) era
started in 1928, when CFC' were invented by a Du
Pont chemist. CFC' were best known as "freon's"

refrigerant. It's invention became a great triumph
when Freon took the place of sulfur dioxide or
ammonia which was used as the working liquid in
refrigerators. It eventually became widely used in
automobile air conditioners and nontoxic
propellants in aerosol cans. It's insulating

The Eye is the organ of sight. Eyes enable people
to perform daily tasks and to learn about the
world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a
rapidly occurring process that involves continuous
interaction between the eye, the nervous system,

the object reflects, or gives off. This reflected
light passes through the lens and falls on to the

land and air coevolve at an almost inconceivably
slow pace to create a climate in which human
beings and other creatures could flourish. "
(Francesca Lyman). Now, for the first time,
humanity has the power to change the global
climate. By releasing the huge amounts of carbon
stored in fossil fuels over millions of years, we
