...established in Corning, New York in the mid 1800s. Corning Glass’s operations were in Corning but as the company grew they opened plants and sales offices throughout the country. By 1968, most of their 40 plants were located east of the Mississippi River. Most of them were headquarters but two of their major divisions were in Corning. (Beer, M. 1983) The Electronic Products Division was one of the eight line’s division in Corning Glass Woks. Their reputation was based on their high technological capability in the invention and manufacture of glass products. Some of the products the electronic division manufacture included glass lenses for optical use, laboratory glassware, refractories in a wide variety, some products for kitchen use such PYREX, well known for many people because of the good product qualities for kitchen use. (Beer, M. 1983) When the market became more competitive its Electronics Products Division (EDP) started having some organizational problems because of the lack of growth. It all started when the profits became decreasing and in 1968 Mr. Joe Bennett took the leadership recently (in 1966) took control of the company and had changed it to a profit center based organization where every plant in every city operated independently and had their own Sales Department, Manufacturing Department, Marketing Department, Accounting and Finance Department, and their own Management by itself, just like different companies, which lead them to have some times different interests...

...In order to capitalize sales for a particular audience, Agee Pyrex uses gender stereotypes and norms about married women and cooking. They use the stereotype of a newly-wed woman cooking beside an on watching man. Along with imagery of married women cooking, the company also added text that catered to the idea a cooking wife. Agee Pyrex stated that all women’s “girlhood dreams” has always been “planning lovely means for her man” (Agee). The logic used by Agee Pyrex comes from preconceived notions about women, cooking, and marriage. Society assumed that the typical role for women in marriage is to be the cook for the household. Therefore, Agee Pyrex uses the argument that because women are perceived as the cook in marriage, then advertisements catering to the idea of women as cooks, will increase sales. This argument makes logical sense because if and only if the premise is true, one can formulate that conclusion. However, because the premise is now known to be false, to formulate the same conclusion would not be logical, but instead, rhetorical. The advertisement incorrectly assumes gender roles in marriage, which oftentimes does not hold validity. Cooking in marriage is not a one gender role, but...

...those lips. It's gets the blood circulating, creating a more memorable and kissable set of peckers. 2.) In addition to that simple recipe, you have an alternative. It's a little bit more involved, nevertheless, it's worth the effort. You're going to need Vitamin E Oil, Vegan Lip Balm (tube), cayenne pepper, cinnamon oil and clove oil. Actually, you can use any oil that will stimulate the skin. You want your lips to swell slightly, not become unsightly. Okay... with that being said, let's move on. Take a small pot and fill it half way with water. Put a one litre pyrex measuring container inside the pot of water. Adjust your stove's temperature settings to medium heat Bring water to a simmer. Take the lip balm and pour directly into pyrex (but don't throw away tube) Once the lip balm has melted, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and stir using a butter knife or spatula. Remove pyrex from heat and pour into container, mix in cinnamon and clove oils. When that's done, add a few drops of Vitamin E and stir. Getting the mixture back in the lip balm tube is the tricky part. Make sure the plastic column in the middle is completely down in the tube and pour the formula into the empty tube. And you're finished! You have successfully made your own lip plumping concoction. I think you will be extremely happy with your new mouth. You're going to need to wait about 20 minutes to an hour for the mixture to dry and before you can apply it to your lips or before...

The formula for the reaction is: HCl(aq) + Na2S2O3(aq) NaCl(aq) + SO2(g) + S(s) + H2O(l). The formula shows us that the sulphur precipitate is formed along with water, sodium chloride and sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide is a poisonous gas and so extra care will be taken not to inhale any. Figure 1 [18] Variables The Variables that affect the reaction rate of...

...Introduction: In this experiment, the rate law and rate constant for a reaction of oxalic acid with permanganate were determined. Every chemical reaction ranges from hours to femtoseconds to occur. The rate of a chemical reaction can be determined by assessing the change in either the reactant or product in a given time or point (Connors, 1990). It is important to take account of the stoichiometric ratios of each component, regardless as to which compound is chosen to determine the rate. The study of the rates of chemical reactions is called Chemical Kinetics (Soustelle, 2011). The following is an example of a generic chemical reaction: aA + bB → cC + dD The rate of the reaction can be expressed as a function of each reactant and each product: Rate = -1a∆A∆t= -1b∆B∆t= +1c∆C∆t= +1d∆D∆t For each reaction, the concentration is decreasing as the reaction occurs; therefore representing the rate as a positive value and a negative sign in the rate definition is used. The concentration of the products is conversely increasing as the reaction proceeds; therefore changing in concentration is positive (Connors, 1990). The reaction rate can be measured by accurately measuring the change in concentration of one of the reaction species over time. This experiment utilized a visual change in color of one of the reactants used; however, since visual indications can be subjective and it is important to perform the experiment multiple times. Also, since the color change would indicate that...

...delectable items are not so appealing to the eye, and capturing the essence of food is quite the job. The portrayal of scrumptious or attractive décor has a price, and in some cases can be deceiving. Though there are not any words in these advertisements, a lot is certainly depicted in each. Not everything that glitters is always gold. The drive to have and consume the extravagant is compelling. Seen the first photo advertisement for Clementine Granita is an example of sweet delectable bites. This is certainly one of the better ads that appeal to the average foodie. The photographer used simple yet effective lighting and background, perhaps to instill simplicity. It conveys a measure of healthy due to the white background and clear glass Pyrex. Pure ingredients are silently conveyed in this advertisement for Clementine desserts. Clearly, the objectivity is to get the viewer to buy and eat this fruit. This one-sided framed shot suggests the audience too want what appears to be already eaten or is not present. The top illumination sings of bright, fresh, outdoor, color, which insists that one’s mouth salivates while reading the recipe. Consider though the other side too this advertisement, which is what they do not tell the consumer. Consider how much sugar is in this dish. The calories in each little beautiful morsel contain enough to put someone in a diabetic comma if consumed. The theme or significance of this definitely encourages the purchase of this particular fruit, which...

...Sample Narrative Essay: Group Ice Bucket Challenge Thesis: event + meaning Part 1: Receive challenge; learn more about ALS; buy supplies – Allison, Breanne, and I were eating lunch in the cafeteria when Simon walked up with his phone. Hey!” Simon said, pulling out his smart phone. It was obvious he wanted to show us something. We said hi back, waiting for him to pull up what he wanted us to see. “You’ve been challenged on Facebook! Are you going to do it?” Breanne looked puzzled. “Do what?” she asked. “The ice bucket challenge!” Simon replied. People sitting at tables surrounding us all looked up and at us. One shouted, “Do it!” Allison said, “Well, we’ve been challenged, so we might as well.” She and I shrugged. Simon raised his arms in victory and walked away. Part 2: Drive home; conversation – We all struggled to pay attention during class that day. All we could think about was the ice bucket challenge. How cold would the water be? Would it hurt? Who would record us taking the challenge? Whom would we nominate to take the challenge after us? We talked about all this after school, driving in Breanne’s car to Allison’s house, a cozy ranch house off Keebler Street. Along the way, Breanne surprised us by suddenly swerving into the parking lot of our local Food Lion. Allison said, “Why are we st…” but trailed off, figuring out mid-question that Breanne was buying the ice we needed. We only bought ice. “Ice bucket challenge?” the cashier said, ringing us up. We all nodded. “We...

...water at different temperatures, and timing how long it ta of the bicarbonate reaction? For example, say that the average reaction time for one temperature was 45 seconds, and the standard deviation was 5.2 seconds (these are made-up numbers). You would graph the symbol for the data point at 45 seconds, and then draw short vertical bars above and below the symbol. Each vertical bar would have a length equivalent to 5.2 seconds. Error bars give your audience a measure of the variance in your data. Adult supervision required. Is reaction rate predictable over a larger temperature range? Water remains liquid above 0°C and below 100°C. Repeat the experiment at one or more additional high temperatures to find out. Use Pyrex glass for containing water heated on the stove or in the microwave, and use appropriate care (e.g. wear hot mitts and safety goggles) when handling hot water. A standard candy thermometer should be able to measure the temperatures in this higher range. You could turn the bicarbonate reaction into a homemade lava lamp. To do this, you will want to use a tall jar or empty clear plastic 1-liter or 2-liter bottle, fill it with 2 to 5 centimeters (cm) of water, add 5 drops of food coloring, and then fill it at least three-quarters full with vegetable oil. You could repeat the science project using your homemade lava lamp at a cold and a hot temperature. To do this, you will need to figure out a way to make the prepared bottle hot or cold...

...After patients had a restored physical performance the glass implant would be taken out. Plans changed however when patients reacted favorably to the glass implant and recovered nicely. Researchers thought the glass implant was a favorable method of restoring an improved quality of life to patients. This conclusion was short lived, however. As patients experienced an increased physical performance, the glass implant eventually fractured. Since the implant proved to be biocompatible and was able to aid regeneration of fibrocartilage, researchers and engineers worked on constructing other models out of stronger glass materials. “This led to using other materials, such as Viscaloid, a celluloid derivative (1925), Pyrex (1933), Bakelite (1939) and later that year, Vitallium, a cobalt-chromium alloy. Vitallium turned out to be inert and durable” (Bierbaum, 2000). Glass hip replacements continued until 1939 when metal alloys were discovered as a potentially favorable...

...CANDLE MAKING LEAFLET NO. A531 Candle Making Margaret Bass Introduction In the past, candles were made from beeswax obtained from the honeycombs of bees or tallow produced from the suet of beef, pork, lamb etc. Nowadays candlemakers generally use candlewax blends based on paraffin wax and stearin to make candles. Beeswax is sometimes used today, but it is scarce and expensive. This booklet will explain the basic principles of candlemaking. Once mastered, the creative possibilities are limitless, and you will be able to make your own unique candles. Materials required for Candle Making Good quality paraffin wax. Wicking. Moulds. Stearin. (This is sold in the form of powdery white crystals. It is added to melted paraffin wax to make the candle more opaque. It makes white candles white, and improves the brightness of coloured candles. It also raises the melting point of wax so that the candles do not bend or sag, and it improves the burning quality of the candle). Mould sealer. Dyes. Perfume. (Not essential). Fig. 1 Page 2 Equipment required for Candle Making • • • • • Two pans, one larger than the other. Thermometer, reading to at least 100°C. Bucket or plastic bowl. (Not essential). Hammer.

...is the quantitative relationship amongst elements in a compound to reactant ratio during a chemical reaction. Potassium chlorate (KClO₃), like many other oxygen composing compounds, is decomposed well by heat. Essentially there is an endothermic reaction that by the aid of a catalyst and heat will produce potassium chloride and oxygen. This equation looks as follows: KClO₃sMnO₂heat2KCls+3O₂(g) This process can happen without the presence of manganese dioxide (MnO₂), but it will take a very long time. Instead, MnO₂ is used as the catalyst to expedite the heating temperature and does not contribute to the overall oxygen output Page 4 Experimental procedure First, obtain two clean and dry 25x200mm Pyrex test tubes and label the test tubes #1 and #2 respectively. Following the labels, add a pinch of MnO₂ to the test tube labeled #1. Heat the test tube gently over the Bunsen burner to drive away any moisture that that the manganese dioxide may contain. Place the test tubes on a wire cause and allow the test tubes to cool until it reaches room temperature. Once the test tube is full cooled to room...
