Fire Rooster1503 ENG121: English Composition I Feb. 10, 2013 To most people when you say the word Fire it brings forth connotations of a campfire or a fireplace. But when you say the word Fire to me, it brings images of death and destruction. I do not taste smoores or sweet treats; I taste human sweat, fear and charred combustibles. I don’t smell the hickory smell of a chimney fire; I smell the burnt smell of furniture and bedding. Since the discovery of Fire there was the arduous task of how to control it, contain it and harness its power to make it useful.
This insulation is known as polyurethane foam insulation. Now obviously the main threat regarding this whole fire was the pyrotechnic failure that occurred. Now this could have resulted from hiring an inexperienced pyrotechincian or it could have just happened from pure bad luck. If this did not occur that night then there would have been no fire that night. Now the other threat was the polyurethane foam they used to insulate the walls and ceiling.
After the first cleanup, Scanlan should have noted that the greatest methane danger is when the mine is inactive for a period of time. According to (Hartley & Kenney, 2006), after a long interruption of work, or in a particularly gassy mine, more methane accumulates, and people are killed in this process. However, even more people are killed if safety precautions are neglected. Secondly, Scanlan could have contacted the local news station or newspaper to report the negligence of the mine owners. Prior to the blast, the leaders of United Mine Workers Local 52 wrote to the governor, complaining of conditions in No.
In the last century, many naturally occurring fires were put out immediately as rangers feared it would ruin the national park. However, this resulted in an incredible buildup of dead wood and undergrows that fueled catastrophic infernos. Today, the National Park firefighters manage and allow naturally occurring fires to burn or set controlled fires in order to maintain a balance. The Giant Sequoia trees are heavily dependent upon the fires as it needs fire to reproduce. When a fire burns, the heat opens up their seed cones which allows for their seeds to be released.
It is similar to source Y in that its main message is to describe the conditions of the camps, as well as the lack of shelter and horrific weather. However it does disagree with source W, content wise as it says that in the last two weeks, hardly any supplies have reached the troops which they say is due to the weather. However it does not suggest any blame attached to the supply methods of those back home, and only to natural causes. As well as this source Y supports source X in the suggestion of disease spread, saying that all cooking was done outside, with the rain often putting the fire out. This alludes that disease spread as he food was unable to cook properly and therefore people may have caught disease from food poisoning.
There are no clear answers as to how much humans are exposed to Malathion, it is used in areas where the temperature is hot, and mosquitoes are abundant. To date, no government agencies have reported that Malathion is danger to the environment, or humans; they have however put polices in place to protect how much people are exposed. As of now the risk characteristics of Malathion is low, but that could change if someone with no regard for human life get a hold of a huge quantity. In order to protect Americans, Malathion is registered with the environmental protection agency. The risk of toxic exposure to Malathion is minute, only a small application is used per acre placed on ground.
The overpopulation was due to the growth of trade and travel. The factors that led up the Black Death began when the Europeans experienced a famine in 1346. This led to malnutrition in people and animals. Europe did not have enough food to feed it’s own people. The change in climate and adverse weather conditions led to less agricultural productivity.
Ditches were dug for the dead, they were pilled on top of each other until there was no room to fit anymore; and then another ditch was dug. Even though these people were terribly ill with a very contagious disease I believe they at least deserved a proper burial. I do understand that under the different circumstances they had no other choice, in order to keep the streets clean. I do have one question though, how was it that some were able to walk away from the Death unharmed? I guess it would be something like chicken pox, although this was very contagious before the doctors came up with a vaccine that assures children will not get it anymore.
Adam McPherson Mrs. Wheelock Advanced English Humanities 20 March 2012 Black Death’s Curse on Europe “Famines and plague, especially the Black (Bubonic) Plague thinned the population of Europe” (Wheelock). Europe was deeply affected by many diseases during the Middle Ages. As the Black Plague rushed through Europe it also affected the people’s everyday activities, the economy, and the European people’s moral from all the death, which can also be explained from Jeffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. With the Black Plague rampant all over Europe it caused many people to stop doing their everyday activities that they enjoyed. The knights son the Squire was a very active man.
Since the announcement about “seeing” is unnecessary, we can simply revise the sentence like this: “An old man wearing a tattered coat leaned into the wind.” 3. Don’t use verbs that require helping verbs if a simpler form will do. Be especially suspicious of forms of “be” and “would” when they precede an action verb. Instead of “The cooks were preparing pea soup last night,” say, “The cooks prepared pea soup last night.” Instead of “When everything would go wrong, Sara would take all the criticism,” say, “When everything went wrong, Sara took all the criticism.” Instead of “Jose was slaughtering the dragon,” say, “Jose slaughtered the dragon.” 4. Never start an independent clause with the word “There.” When you do, you usually end up with a helping verb—most commonly a form of the verb “be”—immediately after “there.” As you know, action verbs are better and more visual, so eliminating “there” is an easy way to make sentences more
