Tear Gas Warning Signs

Between the years 1934 and 1963 one of the most
infamous prisons in history was operated. Alcatraz
Island Federal Penitentiary earned a reputation
for being one of the most feared prisons in the
world. Its maximum security escape-proof
environment was built to house the most villainous
criminals of its time. For 29 years, under four
wardens, Alcatraz Penitentiary succeeded as being
a place of isolation and reformation for a total
of 1, 567 inmates. During the 1930 s a crime wave

Electromagnetic Radiation Infrared Radiation

You might remember the heroic role that
newly-invented radar played in the Second World
War. People hailed it then as "Our Miracle Ally."
But even in its earliest years, as it was helping
win the war, radar proved to be more than an
expert enemy locator. Radar technicians, doodling
away in their idle moments, found that they could
focus a radar beam on a marshmallow and toast it.
They also popped popcorn with it. Such was the
beginning of microwave cooking. The very same
energy that warned the B...

Day And Night Thomas Edison
542 words
Thomas Edison was born February 11, 1847 in Ohio.
He moved to Michigan at age 7 and went to school
there. One teacher thought he was very dumb
because he asked too many questions and never
understood anything. He did home school and tried
other public schools but never did too well. At
age 12 he was selling candy and newspapers at a
train station. Thomas Edison started off right
away on the right path. That path is to get things
done quickly and go full force at them. Edison

What is A Robot WHAT IS A ROBOT The term robot
comes from the Czechoslovakian woodford "forced
labor, " invented by Karel Capek. Karel Capek used
robots in his plays and had them look and behave
like people. Today, the word "robot" is harder to
define because of new designs and technology. The
third edition of Websters's New International
Dictionary defines a robot as "a machine in the
form of a human being that performs the mechanical
functions of a human being. " However, today's

Prison Guards Death Row
466 words
William Faulkner said that "The best literature is
about the old universal truths, such as love,
honor, pride, compassion, and sacrifice. " This
means that long standing truths contain ideas that
appeal to people and also create a sense of
feeling for the particular characters in the
novel. I agree with Faulkner's statement because
many books that I have read have contained the
elements he named. This statement is true of the
book I read, The Green Mile by Stephen King,
because this novel has mu...

"Although many people think that the luxuries and

harmless, in fact, they actually prevent people

Aluminum Foil Magnetic Force
1,253 words
Summary of Investigation An investigation was
carried out to find out the relationship between
the force created in a wire (or solenoid) when
current flowed through it and the force from
gravity. This was investigated by connecting a
solenoid up to a variable power pack and then
placing a light ring of either copper or aluminum
around the solenoid. When the current flows
through the solenoid, a magnetic force created
from the solenoid should make the ring 'jump' up
or levitate. When carrying out...

The Average American Book Review Every citizen of
our country knows the term the average. Although

term the average American, nobody knows exactly
who that is. More than 250 pages of the book by

Marilyn Monroe Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol We have seen photographs of the
electric chair, and of Marilyn Monroe, we have
seen Campbell Soup ads, but never in the isolation
and starkness of Warhols presentation. The
attitude implicit in his choice of images is much
more complex than simple satire, grotesqueness,
horror or celebration: We are forced to the
personal confrontation in his art with the most
vivid representations of sex, food and death but
always through the intermediary of previous
exposure through movies, the pre...

Hills Like White Elephants Clean Well Lighted Place

A person can easily recognize Ernest Hemingway s
writing style by his simple sentence structure,
clear dialogue, and the hopelessness of his
characters. Soldier s Home, Hills Like White
Elephants, and A Clean well-Lighted Place are
perfect examples of three short stories that
easily define his unique style. Short, choppy
sentences would cause a person first to believe
that Hemingway may have written it. A reader would
find it very easy to read at first, yet Hemingway
somehow seems to make these ...

Negatively Charged Positively Charged
571 words
Fusion reactions are inhibited by the electrical
repulsive force that acts between two positively
charged nuclei. For fusion to occur, the two
nuclei must approach each other at high speed to
overcome the electrical repulsion and attain a
sufficiently small separation (less than
one-trillionth of a centimeter) that the
short-range strong nuclear force dominates. For
the production of useful amounts of energy, a
large number of nuclei must under go fusion: that
is to say, a gas of fusing nuclei m...

Primary And Secondary South Africa
1,670 words
South Africa is the southernmost part of the
continent of Africa. It is one of the earths
oldest and stable landmasses. This is why there
are no folded mountain ranges. The only mountain
ranges that are similar to that kind of range,
would be those in the southern tip. The rest of
the country has been slightly pitted so that
interior lakes like the Okovango Delta have no
outlet to the sea. Most of the country is at an
elevation of 3, 000 to 6, 500 feet above sea
level. South Africa lies north of...
