...Introduction to a parking problem Illegal parking at Matthias Catholic Church has become a danger to parishioners and to students in the Sunday school education program. Members the parish have parking in locations near emergency exits that could potentially cause delays and obstructions to emergency response vehicles. If a fire were to breakout, it is possible that several vehicles may be in the way. Considering the risk caused by careless parking, I recommend the implementation of a fire safety zones that will incorporate “No Parking” signs and markings. In addition to the signs and zone, I also propose regular inspections and enforcement by the local fire marshal. I believe that the root cause to the problematic parking is the lack of knowledge that the area outside of the building is a fire zone. With proper marking and communication, most parishioners will realize the importance of keeping certain areas clear in case of an emergency. “The waste of lives and property caused by fire "becomes more disgraceful every year," ("FIRE COST, 1952”) as quoted by A. H. S. Stead. We should keep in mind that the cost of a fire accident can be a great expense on the church’s finances. Preliminary information and four solutions Preliminary information indicates the effectiveness of no parking zone signs, red fire zone stripes and lanes, warning citations and Fire Drills. Some areas of the church campus have no parking signs that are followed without problems so...

...• Preventative maintenance -can do 3 things; reduce failures, save on operating cost, and keep equipment safe. • Reduce failures- When work is heaviest equipment need preventative maintenance the most, the customer can’t afford for the equipment to be down during peak use, won’t prevent failures but limits them. • Save on operating cost- The fewest dollars spent on maintenance will pay for themselves many times over. An engine tune up can save 15% in fuel consumption and increase power by 10%. 100 hp tractor would use 4.5 gallons less in fuel and add a bonus of 10 hp. A maintained engine burns less fuel and can do more work per hour. • The #1 expense is down time. • Keeping equipment safe to operate- a customer with poorly maintained machine will tend to take chances to save time lost by poor performance, may also try to fix it without stopping or turning off the machine which promotes accidents. • Keeping records- Good way to make sure maintenance is performed on schedule, keep records for customer or job ticket, increase service sales in your shop. • Sales Technicians-are also sales men, they sale time or labor hours, service is our product= poor service= poor sales=no job. • Service intervals- Usually 5, 10, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 hours of operation- Check the owner’s manual for specific intervals. Service intervals are cumulative which means 50 hr service should be done at 50hrs, 100 hrs, 150 hrs and 200hrs. • Tips for good machine...

...free-running power turbine. The gas generator consists of a radial compressor, a combustion chamber and a radial turbine. The compressor and turbine are mounted on a shaft. The gas turbine works as an open cyclic process, with the ambient air being drawn out and fed back in. Intake and exhaust silencers reduce the noise in operation of the power turbine. The use of propane as the combustion gas ensures clean, odorless operation. A start-up fan is used to start the gas turbine. The air is compressed and fed to the combustion chamber. Before it enters the combustion chamber the air is slowed by means of a diffuser. The air is then split into primary and secondary. The primary air mixes and burns with the fuel and the secondary air cool the exhaust gases. Relevant measuring values are recorded by sensors and indicated on the display and control panel. The energy of the exhaust gas stream is either converted into mechanical energy in the free-running power turbine or accelerated and transformed into thrust via a nozzle. Here, first, the air to fuel ratio (stoichiometric) was calculated using theoretical values. Then, volume flow rate of the air and mass flow rate of the fuel was read from the display. This was used to find the air to fuel ratio. Hence, the equivalent ratio was calculated by comparing this to...

...Titlle: Evaluation of Gas Law Constant. Objective: To experimentally determine the value of the universal gas constant , R. Theory / Background : The ideal gas law equation is expressed as PV=nRT and is used in most problems dealing with changes situations involving gases. This law can be used to approximate the behaviour of various gases under many situations with a few limitations. The term PV = nRT is also called the compression factor and is a measure of the ideality of the gas. An ideal gas will always equal 1 when plugged into this equation. The greater it deviates from the number 1, the more it will behave like a real gas rather than an ideal. A few things should always be kept in mind when working with this equation are: * Pressure is directly proportional to number of molecule and temperature. (Since P is on the opposite side of the equation to n and T) * Pressure, however, is indirectly proportional to volume. (Since P is on the same side of the equation with V) In this experiment, we will be using this law to evaluate R, the gas law constant. If R is to be determined in this experiment, the other parameters of P, V, n and T must also be available in this experiment. From this experiment known amount of Magnesium used and the stoichimometry of reaction the number of moles of hydrogen can be calculated. Mg(s) + 2 HCl MgCl2 + H2 Hydrogen collected in the eudiometer tube. So, the gas pressure in the tube after the reaction ceased...

...strong underlying meaning that is brought out by a few lines within the middle of the poem. The quote goes from line 5 till the end of line 8. The quote has some serious power behind it and brings the whole meaning of the poem together. It develops the idea that if one were to die that it be a noble and honorable death as if you were to die a hero. If a hero were to die that is exactly the way there would go out, holding their head high and proud. McKays poem develops the idea of a hero and if one were to die a hero that they would let it be a nobly proud and honorable death. When the poem is first read it is vague exactly what McKay is referring to. But after rereading and analyzing specific parts of the poem lots of conclusions can be derived. Certain lines in the poem are what can make the argument so strong. The main quote that allows one to believe in such argument is on line 5 through 8. “If we must die—oh, let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy, Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!”(CITE***) This quote has a lot of meaning behind it in the sense that it highlights the main idea of the whole poem about noble and honorable death as a hero. There are certain word within the quote that help defy the main idea of the poem. They are certain words that really exemplify the main meaning of the poem as a whole. Mckay clearly chose words and phrases especially in the quote chosen, to develop and connect back...

...the Athenian citizens, as they were mostly poor. However, it also meant that he had to follow through with his promise otherwise he would have the citizens against him and his regime. In order to make sure that no one else could seize tyrannical power, new cults and military functions increased the unity of the new tribe. The loyalty of the new tribes was now to Attica and not to the noble families as they were grouped into three areas of Attica. The basis of the Boule was strengthened making it more difficult for ambitious tyrants to take power. Breaking up the demes broke the power of the nobles and the old ionic tribes they had dominated. Also, the Boule of 500 became open to all over 30, except thetes and was most likely selected by lot which gave no advantage to the aristocracy. They served for one year and reappointment was allowed once but not in consecutive years making it hard for individuals to dominate. The nobles had reduced power of patronage when citizenship of valid males were admitted at 18. The Strategoi were directly elected by the people, yearly and they tended to come from noble or wealthy background. There were 10 of them, one from each tribe and were eligible for another election the next year but were held accountable to the people rather than to an area or faction. When ostracism was...

...Argon was discovered by William Ramsay, an English chemist, in 1894. The name Argon originates from the Greek word ‘Argos’ meaning inactive. Argons symbol is Ar and it’s located in period 3, group 18 of the periodic table. It’s a noble gas. It has 18 electrons and protons, and 22 neutrons. Argons electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p6. Argon is a colorless, odorless gas present in the atmosphere. It’s known to not form true chemical compounds. It’s heavier than air, but less reactive than N2. Argons atomic number is 18, its mass number is 39.948, it has 8 valence electrons, it’s molar mass is 39.95, it’s ionization energy is very high, but still less than neon, it’s melting point is -189.3 c, and it’s boiling point is -186.0 c. Argons density is 0.00178 grams per cubic centimeter. Argons is a gas at room temperature. The electrical conductivity of Argon is very low, and the flammability is zero, you cannot burn Argon, it can’t burn because it is inert and it won’t react with Oxygen to create what is known as fire. It can be heated and used to weld, but even then it’s not necessarily burning. Argon doesn’t react with any other element because it’s a noble gas, so there is no reactivity from Argon with water or Oxygen. There are several common uses for the element Argon such as the following. Argon is used in fluorescent tubes and usually emits a blue light. It extinguishes fires without damaging the equipment that is burning, it’s used in museums to protect old documents...

...until it turned out to a liquid, then warmed the liquid and captured the fresh gases as they boiled off. Properties: Chemical Properties Neon is an inert element because it has 8 valence electrons and is completely stable, the only reason elements react is to form a stable octet, since neon has a stable octet, there is no reason for it to react. Although neon is classified as inert, it can form an exotic compound with fluorine under extreme laboratory conditions. While it is not known for sure, some evidence suggests that this compound may be able to form naturally. Neon gas also has the ability to form an unstable hydrate when it reacts with water.2 Physical Properties Neon is the tenth element of the periodic table, in group 18, making it a noble gas. It is an odorless, tasteless, nontoxic gas without the ability to form stable compounds. Neon is very light and colourless under normal conditions, however, it glows a reddish-orange colour when in a vacuum discharge tube, as it is excited electrically. Neon has the smallest liquid range of any element from the periodic table, a range of 2.5°C. The element neon has several isotopes, neon is composed of three stable isotopes, while there are five other known isotopes of neon that are unstable. Neon is the least reactive of all the noble gases, and therefore, the least reactive among all of the chemical elements. ...

...StratSim Simulation Assessment: Firm A Team Members: Timothy McKinney, Alesh Shah, Sami Belbase, Brian Muirhead, Kayleigh Ballantyne Initial Marketing Strategy For our initial strategy we wanted to choose a product line that would be most intriguing to customers in this poor economy. To initiate this we focused our products around better gas mileage, safety, and quality. In order to do this we needed to evaluate consumers’ needs and desires when making a high involvement purchase such as a car. We believe the best target market for this type of car would be a middle class family that does not have as much disposable income due to the recession in our economy. After choosing key characteristics that we believed would make our cars more desirable than the competition, we took an economic approach to our marketing strategy. Our team knew that are best chance to gain more market share would be to go allocate our focus toward a high gas mileage car that does not eat into the pockets of the consumer. With this strategy, middle class families would be able to afford a quality car that did not impair their ability to buy other necessary goods. With this approach our cars would have an advantage in this target market over prestige priced competitors who focus more on luxury then affordability. We believed as a company we could not compete with highly established luxury brands in this market such as BMW, Audi, Lexus, and Mercedes. This leads us to believe...

...Colorfastness refers to the resistance of color to fade or bleed of a dyed or printed textile materials against water, light, rubbing, washing, perspiration etc. to which they are normally exposed in textile manufacturing and in daily use. Colorfastness to Rubbing Colorfastness to rubbing test is designed to determine the degree of color which may be transferred from the surface of a colored fabric to a specify test cloth for rubbing (which could be dry and Wet). Crockmeter is the main equipment used in this test. Crockmeter uses a standard pressure and rubbing motion to provide reliable and reproducible test results. Specimens are positioned on the base of the Crockmeter and held in place with the sample holder. The rubbing action is provided by an acrylic "finger" which moves in a straight line with each complete turn of the crank. The reciprocating load arm is weighted to provide a constant 9N load on the sample at all times and a mechanical counter keeps track of completed cycles. Then, the result of the specimen is evaluated using the grey scale of staining. Colorfastness to Washing The main test method of the colorfastness to washing is carried out called AATCC standard detergent WOB (without optical brightener).
