Delta also had an active R&D group that was continuously working to develop new plastic materials and new product designs.

Marketing believed the new material could revolutionize the industry, so they pushed for rapid production.

...My top three storybooks from previous semesters all have something in common- other than the fact that they relate to this class. That is, they all seem like something that would be featured on The "History" Channel (not that they feature that content regularly) or the Travel Channel. Yes, these are the my most watched tv channels, excluding Food Network. I told you I was actually a grandma. Bab's Urban Myths This concept really drew me in. I really like that they rewrote urban legends and updated them in the context of one central character, who has really bad luck. And who didn't summon Bloody Mary in the bathroom of the Catholic elementary school, am I right? No? Just me? Okay. This content drew me into my strange obsessions as a child. You know the ones that made you read Goosebumps and watch Ghosthunters? The content seems like something I would like to explore- the urban legends and myths that surround us every day. Like Bigfoot, Nessie, Slenderman, or Cropsy (also that one is especially creepy). Maybe I just like the Creepypasta vibes. The Aviarium I really like the museum setting of this storybook, how it moved from exhibit to exhibit with each story. While this seemed more natural history, I also got some Black Museum vibes- I highly recommend that episode of Black Mirror. Now, just from a purely personal standpoint, I love museums. I have been in a vast amount and variety, but there is also something just plain creepy about an empty museum, about the storage shelves...

...Clive Staples Lewis “I want God, you, all my friends, merely to serve my turn.’ (As the Ruin Falls) C.S. Lewis was an atheist his whole life but became a very strong believer of God when he grew older. He wrote “After Prayers Lie Cold” and “As the Ruin Falls” about searching for God, love and happiness. Lewis’ mother died in 1908 when Lewis was only ten years old. His father was never the same after she passed away. Around that time Lewis and his brother were enrolled in boarding school. While at boarding school Lewis became an atheist, which changed his life drastically. During World War I Lewis became very close friends with a man named Paddy Moore. Sadly, Paddy died fighting in the war. Soon after that, Lewis was wounded and was discharged. When Lewis returned home he followed up on a promise that he had made to Paddy that he would take care of Paddy’s mother and sister. Mrs. Moore treated Lewis like a son. Lewis bought a house which he lived in with Paddy’s family up until Mrs. Moore died and his sister was old enough to get along on her own. (About C.S. Lewis) In 1939 during World War II Lewis and his brother took in children from London seeking refuge from bombings. During that time Lewis wrote one of his greatest books called “The Screwtape Letters”. It was one of Lewis’ best books, but he admits that it was difficult to write. The book was Lewis’ first Christian success. It portrays a person trying to live a Christian life with temptations as seen from the devil’s...

...Sir John Alexander MacDonald - ‘Canada’s Patriot Statesman’ ‘Confederation is only yet in the gristle, and it will require five years more before it hardens into bone.’ - John A. Macdonald Early Life Sir John Alexander MacDonald was a very influential political figure, originating from Scotland but carrying out his career in Canada. Being the first Prime-Minister of Canada, MacDonald spent the majority of his life living there, after he and his family migrated to Kingston in 1820. He was born in Glasgow on January 10th in 1815 and passed away on June 6th in 1891 due to a stroke. John Alexander MacDonald is thought to be one of the most important political men ever in Canada, he first came into power in 1867 and to this day his face still remains on the 10 dollar bill. In his early years he played a major part in transforming the old Tory party, which was based on narrow minded loyalist and Anglican values into a broader Conservative party that was willing to work with french-speaking Canadians in order to achieve the joining of all British North America. His personal life was not the happiest of those and was generally quite grim. MacDonald had to watch his first wife die slowly, see his son die as a baby as well as have a daughter born with Hydrocephalus. Because of this he often turned to drink to numb his pain and emotion, though this wasn’t good it was overlooked. During a campaign, Macdonald had had a little too much to drink and ended up throwing up on the platform...

(V&A) They together worked in Glasgow and created decorative schemes for architectures and design. It can be concluded that Mackintosh grew up in an artistic environment and design was his main passion. He has three outstanding designs that were eye opening during the period and beyond, it is the Glasgow School of Art, The Gallery, Willow Tea Rooms and The Hill House. The Glasgow School of Art (1897) was truly Mackintosh’s work of art. He designed every aspect of the building, from exterior to interior.

The MacDonald family purchased the property in 1949. The family rehabilitated the barn and some other buildings including the new construction of the latest house that had previously burned twice. Mrs. MacDonald continued living in the farm after the passing of her husband in 1966. In the 1970s, farms were disappearing rapidly due to the fast development in the area. Soon most farms were replaces by subdivisions and in less than 10 years all those farmland became neighborhoods. Mrs. MacDonald resisted and sent away many developers who offered big amounts of money for the farm. She always insisted that no one was going to build any houses on her property.

...Most miners of the Amazon lead a very polluted way of life. They pollute the environment they live in and they pollute themselves. The, "garimpeiros" as the miners are called in Brazil are independent farmers of the gold that flows beneath the rivers of the Amazon rain-forest. Their daily routine of early mornings, long hard days, and late nights drinking and taking cocaine contribute to their way of life. Their only goal in life is to drill for the gold dust which seems to collect at the bottoms of waterfalls then use the profits for illegal self indulgences like cocaine. To extract this gold dust they must combine mercury with the dust, and because of the mercury’s chemical make-up it is able to extract the gold from the useless rock and debris. The mercury, however, isn’t the cleanest element for the environment. Many garimpeiros carelessly use the mercury then dump it into the rivers polluting the water and the food. Also, the dust from the mercury gets inhaled by the miners, contributing to their polluted way of life. All day dragas, which are boats used for mining the bottom of rivers, are pulled to locations where gold is thought to be found, moving and polluting. Then there is the common drug use among these farmers. To sum the garimpeiros’ way of life, they live a life of drinking and drugs, women and murder. So the polluted way of life is obvious, men poison the waters and the food and then ultimately themselves, with the illegal activities of the mining trade in Brazil...
