...must be mined and processed oxidized ores contain primarily copper, and can basically be melted down into copper in a smelting procress. A process in mining copper is called open pit mining in which a big hole is dug in the earth that are sometimes a few thousands of yards wide. huge machinery are used to mine copper such as giant earth movers, rock crushers even blasting with dinomites is used to move large chucks of earth. luckly we are in not gunna run out of copper any thime soon. An estimated 5.8 trillionpounds of copper known worldwide, of which about .07 trillion pounds have been mined throughout history. And of that .07 trillion is still in circulation because coppers recycling rate is higher than that of any other engineering metal. Silver, what is it and where it found? Native silver is the purest kind of silver. Native silver is a metal with nothing else added to it. Most silver is found in an ore combined with a mineral. it can be found in igneous (igneous rock is made when magma comes to the earth surface in the form of lava its is supper heated then cooled) and sedimentary ore like galena, it is formed in veins of rock that have very hot water flowing threw and around them. How and where is it mined? Silver is mined using underground mining Most of the time silver is found in ore. The miners goal might not be to find silver but...

...Gems are highly prized minerals that have a common appeal to all cultures, and their legacy extends to prehistoric times. As far back as 20,000 years ago, our ancestors, the Cro-Magnon, ornamented their bodies with lavish strings of beads made from ivory, seashells, and gemstones (Cook). As is the custom today, the use of jewelry was determined by fashion and reflected one's rank in society. Malachite is cut into cabochons or slabs to be used in rings, necklaces, brooches, and in art objects (galleries.com). Though not a precious stone, its vibrant colour is highly prized. Possibly the earliest order of copper, malachite is believed to have been mined in a Sinai and eastern deserts of ancient Egypt from was early as 300BCE. Single crystal are uncommon; when found, they are short to long prism. Malachite is usually found as botryoidal or encrusting masses, often with a radiating fibrous structure and banded in various shades of green. The beautiful green crystal has been used since ancient times in inlay work and in carvings of churches and cathedrals as it is found in huge boulders (Bonewitz pg 125). It was also used as a pigment for paint during the 15th century in Egyptian tomb paintings and much later in European art. The Victorians were also great admirers of opaque jewelry stones, and malachite was chosen to be one of their favorites, sometimes choosing it to set in gold. It also occurs as delicate fibrous aggregates and as concentrically banded stalactites (Bonewitz pg...

...and ban the elders used to cry at. Of course being a child of no experience made me curious and persistent to do things as the grown-ups did. Never did I thought of dangers posed in every action and move I take. One day, I woke up to my usual Saturday morning and had the breakfast my mom prepared. She asked me to follow her to her workplace, a primary school which I agreed. There, my mom let me play with the staff’s children so we wouldn’t disturb them at work. But my mom reminded not to go too near the fish pond in the science garden. Lately, some reports were made that student got stung by bees near the fish pond. The beehives was believed to be at the rock pile of bricks. It was normal for my fellow friends and I to play near the fish pond. That place was shady and cool. We played hide-and-seek game. I hid behind the rock pile of bricks and accidentally toppled the unstable structure. The beehives was destroyed at once and the bees were furious. They swarmed over me and stung me. I was lucky as I wore long-sleeved shirt but my bare foot became the target. My friends and I run to safety, but the stings was so much that I cried in pain. A staff helped to send me for medical treatment in the town. I expected my mom to scold me for being ignorant but she soothed me to stop crying and eased my pain. After medical treatment, we thanked that kind staff for her generousity. I will not forget this accident and be careful whenever I go as the saying goes once bitten twice shy. It...

...“REFLECTION ESSAY” There are lots of things that we ourselves do not know if these are somewhat essential and can be used in our daily activities. For instance, most of us, students, who go to a spectacular university for four to six times a week to hit the books, pin our ears back to the professors, and internalize what they’re teaching, in fact don’t have the idea about the learnings we’re acquiring are can be applied in our real life situations. But it’s not what we think, that even the smallest thing we learn might be as important and significant as the big ones. In these five different chapters that we’ve tackled and talked over throughout the prelim period, I’ve learned certain things which to somewhat extent can be used and applied in real life situations. For example, minerals. Did we know that we use minerals in our everyday activities? Without them, there would be no cars, trains or planes. I wouldn’t be able to clean my teeth or wash my clothes. Clocks, watches and jewelry, tin cans and aluminum foil - all minerals! And of course, I wouldn't be sitting down, looking at a computer, and making and reading this now if it weren't for minerals. Where would I be without light bulbs? If tungsten in light bulbs are omitted? How can I write without a paper which is made up of minerals? How can I put pen to paper without minerals? How can a house or school be beautified without minerals that are used in making ceramic flower pots? How I can draw the things I view on a microscope...

...1 Samuel 007:012 Samuel then took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Jeshanah and named it Ebenezer (meaning, "the Stone of Help"), for he said, "The Lord has certainly helped us!" 1 Samuel 7:12 The church has many markers to show God''s goodness Have you ever received an award? Was the award a special plaque or a trophy? Perhaps it was a certificate or some other token of recognition. The purpose of an award is to recognize and to praise persons or groups that have made noteworthy accomplishments and contributions. They generally contain the name of the honoree, a description of the deed accomplished, a date, and the name of the presenters. Recognition of some accomplishments may get bigger than a mere plaque or certificate. Statues, busts and memorials are erected around the world to note the lifetime contributions of those who distinguished themselves in the course of time or to note the site of an historic event. Whether a small certificate or a towering obelisk, awards have a way of recognizing and marking important moments in time. Tributes usually follow a significant accomplishment. Often those receiving the tribute feel undeserving and are puzzled at the praise they receive from others. We know how to recognize people for their accomplishments, but how do we recognize God when he has helped us? That was the question that puzzled David in Psalm 116:12 when he asked "What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?" David concluded that...

...National Treasure The action film National Treasure starring Nicholas Cage is known as a “drama filled action movie” (New York Times), but what most people don’t know is that it was also known for its historical and inspirational side. This movie is a triple threat with action, inspiration and history all combined into a fantastic hour and a half film. In an action movie there must be a chase of some kind and/or a hero and a villain. In National Treasure, it has Nicholas Cage as the hero and Sean Bean as the villain. These two character have a common goal of finding the next clue that leads to the treasure. There are multiple times that the hero gets beaten down, but the villain in the end always seems to never get the upper hand. As the movie went on, there were also times when the hero had to blur the lines in between good and evil for the greater good. For instance, when Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage) was in the planning process of stealing the Declaration of Independence, he had to face the risk of being caught. During the movie, the audience feels a sense of inspiration to start their own adventure. The world of unknown is evident in this film during the search for the next astonishing clue. With every step the hero has to follow the clues, but also watch his/her back for the villain trying to steal what is not rightfully his/hers. For example, as Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage) was entering the tomb underneath Wall St. he was being followed by Ian Howe (Sean Bean). Ian left Ben...

They will need to research this information for their chosen rock of study and apply it to their short poem and timeline included in their pamphlet. If students are choosing to create a pamphlet about marble, for instance, they will need to understand that this rock is classified as a metamorphic rock and is often used for sculptures and countertops. Students will also need to describe the rock cycle in order to successfully create a timeline that demonstrates how marble is formed. Students will also need to practice fluency and creative expression skills. Specifically, students need to be able to read accurately, at an appropriate pace, and with meaningful expression. Teachers will want to use the exemplars provided in this cornerstone to support students in applying previous knowledge and skills to this project. PLACEMENT WITHIN THE UNIT Before:...

...Chimney Rock is a great depiction of the American landscape, without any indication of civilization or settlement. The embroidery on fabric was strikingly done as the observer can see the disparity through her stitch work. One can notice complex threading modifications that appear to be a complicated task. Chimney Rock creates three-dimensionality to the multihued landscape as the threading adds an assortment of color and shading elements; Chimney Rock contains different shades of earth tones. Carol Shinn’s embroidery utilizes the basic elements of style to portray the American frontier that truly encapsulates what are nation used to be. Overall, Carol Shinn accomplished a salient reproduction of a natural setting. When viewing Chimney Rock the first thing the viewer should notice is the rocky landscape. In the background the viewer can make out distant mountains and flat mesa tops surrounding a desolate valley of green and brown tones. The sky in the background is a bright blue with not a cloud in sight. Carol Shinn creates an interesting natural aspect to the sky by making it a lighter blue as it touches the tops of the mountains and mesas in the background. As the viewer’s eyes are pulled to the middle ground of the piece the orange and red hills break up the foreground and background. These hills have desert shrubs, so hints of greenery contrast the shifting orange hills below. To the right the orange, sand-like hills shift into a towering mesa that has a shadow cast upon...

...room. The class consisted of 37 students learning about rocks and minerals in our unit of “Rocks and Minerals”. Learners There were 37 learners involved in this lesson. Learning Goal In this lesson, students were introduced to rocks and minerals. Students had to explore several websites to reach several questions about rocks and minerals: What is the relationship between minerals and rocks? What are the three types of rocks? What is the process of formation for each type of rock? Technology Students used portable, wireless laptops that were provided by the school. They were instructed to use Internet Explorer to complete the assignment. Students were given several websites to use to answer the following questions: What is the relationship between minerals and rocks? What are the three types of rocks? What is the process of formation for each type of rock? Students had to use the researched information to create a “Rocks and Minerals” flipbook. Students were also directed to give at least three examples of each type of rock and provide pictures of each. Facilitating (or impeding) Learning The initial time frame for this assignment was to be 1-2 days. However, it took 4 days because of consistent battery failure of the laptops. The wireless laptops were fairly old and the batteries seemed to die after 30 minutes. Needless to say, after reviewing the students’ work and after grading the “Rocks and Mineral” post test, it was evident that students learned...

...Roberto Muniz Professor Andrew Husband ENG 101.01 February 25, 2013 The Ranch It’s the end of the school year, and I know I have completed my part by passing all my classes. Now I’m sitting on the sofa watching television, but I can’t help but to feel anxious. I already know where I’m are going and who I will be going with, but I still need to hear the words conforming it. Fighting to stay awake I hear the door starting to open, excitement takes over me and I’m no longer sleepy or watching television. Then it happens, the words I have been waiting to hear all day coming rolling out of my father’s mouth: “we are going to the ranch.” Going to the ranch was and still is the most special place for me. After the trip announcement, it was packing time. The house was in complete joy, yet it was chaotic at the same time. I would run to my room as fast as I could and pull out my suitcase, but clothes were not on my mind. The ranch called for special items to be packed, like my slingshot, one of my prized possessions. It took me weeks to make it and find the right type of tree with the right tree branch. My uncle put it all together for me, he even added a leather hand grip. I couldn't play around with the slingshot in my neighborhood, so the ranch was perfect for target practice. Next was my pair of binoculars, they were perfect for the ride into the ranch, and once at the ranch those binoculars would always be around my neck. With all my special items packed, it was time to secure...

...Beautiful Day There is this place just a few blocks away from my house where I like to go to get away. It’s called The Rock in Pawnee Rock. Early in the morning it can be so peaceful and quiet with beautiful wet dew still on the grass. As the sun comes up you see the colors surrounding the bright sky. Nothing more radiant as the sun on a bright morning. As I look around I can see every house in this small town, plus the long stretch of highway from great bend to larned. You see cars buzzing by on the highway and hear the hum of a nearby lawn being mowed with the smell of fresh cut grass in the air. The tall stone pillars remind me of the brave Indians that lost their lives in battle on these grounds. The jagged rocks around make me think of when I was a child and loved to climb onto the tallest rocks I could find, as I would stand at the top of the hill and felt like king of the world. Too Busy To Stand Still At the rock early in the morning the world seems so eerie and dark. The sun still shining but the lives of Indians passed still feel as if they are lingering in this hollow place. As I stand at the top of the hill you see the once lovely plaques dedicated to the Indians that lost their lives on these grounds, which is now riddled full of bullet holes. The walls and the tall pillars now covered in obscene spray paint, surely contaminated by the younger generation with nothing better to do. As you hear the loud cars busily driving by, you wonder if anyone ever...
