One hundred year of oil: Oil was found at Masjed Soleyman in southwestern Iran on May 26, 1908, and three years later was piped down to a newly built refinery at Abadan on the Iranian side of the Shatt alrab, not many miles below Basra. Its global importance was immediately recognized, not just by the Admiralty in London, looking for new sources of supply for its oil-fired battleships, but in other European capitals as well leading to a brief British-German-Turkish skirmish for control of the pipeline at the start of World War I. How oil is formed: Millions of years ago, plants and animals living in the ocean absorbed energy from the sun and stored this energy in their bodies in the form of carbon. As these animals died, their bodies sank to the bottom of the ocean where they were covered with layers of sediment deposits. OPEC: OPEC's objective is to co-ordinate and unify petroleum policies among Member Countries, in order to secure fair and stable prices for petroleum producers; an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consuming nations; and a fair return on capital to those investing in the industry.

Philosophy Assignment #4 1. The Problem of Induction was first brought forth by David Hume, a considerably famous Scottish philosopher. The problem of induction is the difficulty in justifying universal generalizations with observation. For example, when we conduct an experiment to find the boiling point of water we take a fraction of all the water in the world at a given time. When we discover that our sample water has a boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius we assume all water boils at the same temperature.

But also in similarity with many of the major social movements, the sixty year spread of time between the fifties and 21st century was a time for great leaps forward in the naturalist movement. The beginnings of modern naturism originated in Germany in the early 20th century after several papers began to advocate for the cause of nudism and against the social ideas of shame and self-hate associated with being nude. (Aranda, 2005) During the 1920s, Germany also established the first true naturist colonies. (Aranda, 2005) Naturism in the United States, however, didn’t take wind until the late 1920s. Starting with Kurt Barthel’s family-oriented American League for Physical Culture (ALPC), the naturist movement began to slowly gain recognition.
