...fleet of steamers to carry oil in bulk, using for the first time the Suez Canal. They also set up bulk oil storage at ports in the Far East and contracted with Bnito, a Russian group of producers controlled by the Rothschilds, for the long-term supply of kerosene. Their strategy was high-risk: if news of their operations got out they would be squeezed out by Rockefeller’s dominant Standard Oil. With the maiden voyage of the first bulk tanker, the “Murex”, through the Suez Canal in 1892 the Samuels had achieved a revolution in oil transportation. Bulk transport substantially cut the cost of oil by enormously increasing the volume that could be carried. The Samuel brothers initially called their company The Tank Syndicate but in 1897 renamed it the Shell Transport and Trading Company....

...experience and its translation into words suggesting an experience of great intensity. The setting is an old Boche dug-out’ which a party of English troops has taken, but not without being seen: consequently, it comes under enemy fire, ‘shell on frantic shell’ pounding its position. The co-opted dug-out is a ‘hell’ on earth, not only because of the artillery bombardment, but also because of the bad weather. It is raining heavily: into the dug-out pour ‘waterfalls of slime’ with the result that the men stand in ‘slush waist-high’ and cannot climb out. The first line “We'd found an old Boche dug-out, and he knew,” owen uses “he” as a derogatory term for all the soldiers of the opposition. This line is also an enjambment as the first line and its thought continues to the next line. The second and third line describe the “shells” or bombs “And gave us hell, for shell on frantic shell Hammered on top, but never quite burst through” – here owen describes how the shells never penetrated into the place they were, but the shells were close. He also uses a figure of speech, namely personification, to describe the shells as frantic. The words “hell” and shell” in the second line have an internal rhyming. And the repition of the word shell tells the readers that the bombing was one after the other. The next to lines tells the readers how the bad weather adds on to the soldiers misery, how even nature was not on their side now. “waterfall made of slime” is an oxymoron because...

...containing one or two shells with a few exceptions. They are soft-bodied bilaterally symmetrical animals with organs present in a fluid-filled cavity hence soft bodied referring to word mollusc (latin). Classification of the Molluscs has major turmoil of instability in the Animal Kingdom. Since, most of the resources and text books use old system of classification, and that is stable, easy to recognize, and complies with Cambridge Zoology Museum, so we are adapting that very system for their identification. Habitat of Molluscs Molluscs occupy mostly marine and moist environments that are why some of them have rudiments of amphibians they kept along during the evolutionary attempts. Some of the gastropods however, dwell in the freshwater also. Others occupy the bottoms of lakes depending on their feeding habits. Some of the molluscs reach the terrestrial environments e.g. snails and slugs. Habitat of the shells typically affect their adaptive structural formation and hence identification. The lines of the shells are dependent upon the tidal emersions. Also, the internal tidal indications of the structure indicate micro-growth line formation in molluscs from sub-tidal areas (Mirzaei et al., 2014). Classfication of the molluscs has classicaly been associated with the structure of the radula or structure of the shell. Within the phylum Mollusca, there are seven classes (Barnes et al., 1993); viz Aplacophora – solenogastrids and caudofoveates (without shells); Cephalopoda – octopi...

...The Effectiveness of Using Mussel Shells as an Alternative Ingredient in Making Bricks Chapter I ABSTRACT Waste management has been a problem since then because lots of wastes are not used efficiently- needing the people to make a move to convert these wastes into useful things. Thus, this study is undertaken to contribute to the ideas of waste management programs and to find out the effectiveness of mussel shells as an alternative material in making bricks. This study intends to make eco-friendly and affordable bricks by combining the powdered mussel shells, sand and cement with an appropriate ratios. A series of experiments were conducted to study the effect of using mussel shells on the compressive strength and percentage of water absorption of the bricks. The bricks were tested at the construction materials testing center and it proved that the bricks can hold enough strength and can absorb much water. It showed that the sample 1 (3tahong:1cement) has a compressive strength of 3.75MPa which means it is considered as a non structural brick and it has a percentage of water absorption of 13.02%. Since using mussel shell as a component in making bricks will only produce a non structural brick, the researchers conducted another set of samples. Sample 2 can carry more loads 325kN than the two other samples 3 and 4, 275kN and 115kN but sample 2 can absorb more water 19.26% than the other two, 15.7%.

Identify and classify all of the variables in the U.S. Army’s dud shell research. The variables within the U.S. Army dud shell research are the cannon shells (the exploded and unexploded), civilians (locals), their behaviors, including the death rates. All of these variables played a vital role within the research that allowed the testing site to come up with an alternative testing procedures with different time frames of testing the cannon shells that have been placed for the original procedures. 3. What was Myra’s hypothesis for the U.S. Army’s dud shell research? Based on the research Myra conducted, her hypothesis was to apply logic instead of agreeing for an educational campaign. Her research took the attitudes and behaviors of the local civilians because of their thrill seeker behaviors into account into changing the procedures of testing time frames such as testing the firing the shells in the morning and the spend the afternoon finding the duds with an attachment of kerosene lanterns to the shells. At dusk the fighter bomber would retrieve the duds and transport them to a molecular state. 4. What was the U.S. Army’s hypothesis?...

...Shell Company Analysis Dr. Scruton Methodist University Management and Organization Abstract Shell Oil is a global company in the oil industry. This long established company has withstood the test of time in this competitive market. Management practices have established the resources necessary to overcome the obstacles of a global company. This detailed analysis of Shell Oil focuses on management in order to provide an understanding of how the company is able to succeed. The organizational analysis provides insight into Shell’s goals, culture, and resources. An example of a specific problem that Shell faced, oil spills in Nigeria, continues off of the company analysis. Nigeria is a major extraction location for shell, but sabotage and oil leaks grew to be a major concern. Shell faced court cases in search of relief in Nigeria, but the majority of the oil leaks were a result of sabotage; therefore, shell was not responsible. However, people believed that it was shell’s responsibility to safeguard the oil lines and prevent sabotage in the first place. Shell funded the cleanup of previous oil spill sites along with a major advertising campaign to avoid a negative impact on its business. Some people still believe that Shell should be taking more responsibility for the oil spill crisis in Nigeria. Shell Company Analysis Oil is a resource that has been in great demand since the production of combustion engines, as well as other industrial machines. Royal Dutch...

...Shell shocked: is Shell a case of ‘ethical epiphany’ or ‘lessons not learned’? This case looks at the how Shell made efforts to develop new ways of managing business ethics in the aftermath of major problems in its international operations in the mid-1990s, only to be mired in further controversy during the 2000s. The case provides an opportunity for assessing the substantial challenges involved in business ethics management, and in particular for examining the benefits and drawbacks of various components of ethics management discussed in the chapter. Operating in over 135 countries, and employing more than 90,000 people, the UK-Dutch oil giant Royal Dutch Shell is one of the world’s largest companies. In recent years, Shell has been at the forefront of developments in social reporting and stakeholder engagement, and looked to be finally overcoming the reputational crisis that overwhelmed the company in the mid-1990s when it became a prime focus of attack from environmental campaigners and other critics. However, the firm’s turnaround came off the rails in 2004 when a major accounting scandal erupted over its overstating of oil reserves. This, and the continued challenge posed by campaigners over its alleged ‘hypocritical’ approach to sustainability and social responsibility, has raised questions over the firm’s ethics at a time when it would have hoped to have finally converted the sceptics. So, whilst the firm has won prizes and plaudits for its actions, for many, the question...
