...Dylan Winstead Mr. Trenary AP US History 12 January 2018 The Development of the West Life in the Old West or also known as the ‘Wild West” was probably different than what you might think. When many people think of the Wild West, they think of gunslingers and people constantly robbing banks, but in reality, this was very much not true. In the early 1800’s, many Americans considered the west “unfit” for civilization. However, later on, several amounts of people started migrating towards the west because of its farming and agricultural opportunities. Many people became farmers, ranchers, and even miners because of the land’s rich soil and its natural resources. Just think, if it wasn’t for these Americans, the development of the...

...Over the past 40 years, Newark has gone through tumultuous racial segregation. From the very beginning, Newark has been ever changing especially socially following the Newark Riots of 1967. In an effort to redevelop Newark, our African American residents still suffers as a result of its revitalization. Through the social shifts of the 1950’s, Newark’s people of color have endured unfortunate circumstance due to the change in the city’s government, poor housing, and troubles in the economy. With hopes to pursue a new life, many African American families migrated to the northern states with the thought of living a dream that guarantees a home, job and free education for their children. After escaping Jim Crow and his segregated laws, many African Americans soon had seen that battle was only half fought. An influx of poor, uneducated, unskilled, African Americans came up north to take advantage of the greater job opportunities and the higher welfare benefits here. Prior to the migration of southern blacks the city of Newark had already been structured by its people. People were separated by ward. Newark was, and still is the most diverse city in this city. In Newark, injustice was directed toward African American residents living in the poverty stricken Central Ward. Its five wards are split apart and essentially segregated. The West Ward, once known as predominantly Irish-American neighborhood today is home to neighborhoods composed primarily of African-Americans and Haitians...

...Management 338B International Business U.S. Regulators Bar TransCanada From Restarting Keystone Pipeline The article I read relates to the company TransCanada Corp. from restarting its pipeline due to two small spills. According to the authors, Lefebvre and Cummins, The United States Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Harzardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), is requiring that the company must perform specific safety tests and root-cause analysis to address two separate spills that resulted in the loss of approximately 410 barrels of oil (400 in one spill and 10 in another). The company states that they are complying with the US governments requests but that the leaks have been caused by unrelated technical problems. The article points out that this comes in a period of time that the company is requesting to expand its pipeline to the Gulf cost of the United States. This expansion also being contested by environmentalist organizations in the United States who feel that the form of crude being piped in is more corrosive and damaging to the environment. Transcanada denies this and Canada’s government has cited “years of pipeline operation” to demonstrate that the “oil Sands” are no more likely to leak that traditional oil. I thought this article points out the complexities of during business in foreign countries. The company, TransCanada has to not only comply with regulations of its own country but meet standards and requests of countries...

...It was a few minutes after 10pm on a Monday night and I had just remembered that my rough draft essay for my dual enrollment English class was due the next day. Even though I wrote the date it was due down, I always pushed it off to do “another day”, well another day became that night. I had to write 500 descriptive words about the nature of opening and eating a tootsie pop; I didn’t even have a tootsie pop. I knew I would have to improvise, so I grabbed the old lollipop in my pantry and started opening it. As I opened the lollipop I wrote down descriptive thought I had. I started with the sound I heard, I wrote down “crispy crackling”, then I thought about how it looked “hard, glazed strawberry”. Before I knew it the lollipop was gone,...

I think I always have plenty of information on the topic that is being discussed in the paper. Another thing I think I do well at is formatting my papers. One of my strong points is knowing when to start a new paragraph and knowing how much information I need to put in that certain paragraph. There are also several things I want to improve on when writing college papers. One thing I would like to improve on is organizing my thoughts. Another thing I struggle with is my choice of words. I am not very good at using a wide range of vocabulary in my papers. I also want to improve on my use of punctuation. Lastly, I would like to improve on thinking of better topic sentences and also the ending sentences of each paragraph. I struggle with trying to think of the last sentence in the paragraph because I do not want to repeat information, but I do what to recap what I was just discussing in the paragraph...

...How to Make Charcoal from Paper By Karren Doll Tolliver, eHow Contributor Homemade paper charcoal briquettes can be used in backyard grills. Commercial charcoal for grilling food is expensive and can be harmful to the environment. However, industrious do-it-yourselves can make their own "charcoal" from newspaper. This reduces the amount of newspaper refuse as well as the amount of commercial charcoal consumed. In addition, no lighter fluid is needed with the homemade charcoal paper. Therefore, petroleum-based products are also conserved. Making your own charcoal takes only water and a washtub. The time spent forming the charcoal paper briquettes is negligible, although they need to dry for a couple of days in the sun. Things You'll Need • Washtub • Water • Old newspaper Instructions 1 Tear the old newspaper into pieces about the size of your hand or smaller. 2 Place all the torn newspaper pieces in the washtub. Cover with water and let sit for at least one hour. The newspaper will be ready when it is thoroughly saturated with water and is mushy to the touch. 3 Grab a large handful of the mushy newspaper. Form it into a ball about the size of a golf ball or ping pong ball, squeezing out as much water as you can. Repeat until all the mushy newspaper is in ball form. Discard the water. 4 Place the wet newspaper balls in the sun for at least two days. Do not let them get rained on. They must be completely dry and brittle. At this point they are ready for use in the same...

...Our homes are full of books of every genre. There are only few people who don't like reading. Accordingly, even the most lazy can't help but keeping on reading if the story is enough engaging. The most of times in our homes we find physical books, rather than digital stories. I think there is a reason for this. What is better than the smell of paper, especially when you buy a new book? It is something inimitable, that never will be replaced. Concerning to this, we cannot not talk about the smell of old books. It reminds you something ancient, of another epoch or of a parallel world. Something beset by an aura of fantastic. On the one hand, I think many people prefer to buy new books, rather than borrow them in library, due to the characteristic smell of brand new printed paper. However, the smell of ancient books cannot be recreated and that’s why, on the other hand, library are so full of requests. There are those who neither care to have their own literary works, nor library books. Actually, they don’t want physical volumes and prefer to have all they would want to read always with them. In other words, they like digital readings. For instance, a tablet make this real. This means you can choose among a great number of possibilities the book you want to read in that particular moment. The advantage consists in the fact that you have not to bring ten different volumes with you, but just one light tablet. Your back will thank you! Likewise, many people prefer digital books...

...B-Stalk Paper Background of the Study Paper is a felted sheet of usually fibers laid down on a fine screen from a water suspension. It is commonly used by everyone especially students and employees for their activities, reports and quizzes. It is also used for writing, printing and packaging materials in many products especially now that “No Plastics” campaigns are implemented. According to Wikipedia (2013), the environmental impact of paper is significant, which has led to changes in industry and behavior at both business and personal levels. With the use of modern technology such as the printing press and the highly mechanized harvesting of wood, disposable paper has become a cheap commodity. This has led to a high level of consumption and waste. With the rise in environmental awareness due to the lobbying by environmental organizations and with increased government regulation there is now a trend towards sustainability in the pulp and paper industry. Worldwide consumption of paper has risen by 400% in the past 40 years, with 35% of harvested trees being used for paper manufacture. Plantation forest, from where the majority of wood for pulping is obtained, is generally a monoculture and this raises concerns over the ecological effects of the practice. Our proposed business is intended to reduce the deforestation issue worldwide. That’s why we created an eco-friendly paper instead of cutting down old trees in the forest. We recycled the stalk of a banana plant to produce...
