On stage, Jimi Hendrix would put hits of acid in his headband. When he perspired, the sweat, containing acid would run down into his eyes and make him "higher than a kite." Most people never actually saw Jimi Hendrix the person, but a blurred vision of him. When Jimi performed on stage at Woodstock ... also allows Satan to plant seeds in our heads that lead us further and further away from the truth. The new age music of harps and tiny nature like sounds of whales and dolphins and rain leads one to believe that they are alone in this world.

- ... from the earth's surface for many months. Scorched sulfur from the impact site, water vapor and chlorine from the oceans, and nitrogen from the air combined to produce a worldwide fallout of intensely acidic rain. Scientists theorize that darkness and acid rain caused plant growth to cease. As a result, both the herbivorous dinosaurs, which were dependent on plants for food, and carnivorous dinosaurs, which fed on the herbivores, became extinct. Animals such as frogs, lizards, ...
- 205: Environmental Pollution
- ... of fuel billions of tons of coal and oil are consumed around the world every year. When these fuels burn they introduce smoke and other, less visible, by-products into the atmosphere. Although wind and rain occasionally wash away the smoke given off by power plants and automobiles, the cumulative effect of air pollution poses a grave threat to humans and the environment. A big example of smog is LA you ... programs maybe our world wouldn't be in such danger of dying. If our Earth dies it will surely take us all with it.

- 206: Coral Reefs 2
- ... their animal protein from reef fish without affecting the reefs and without depleting the fish and effecting the ecosystem. Surprisingly, some of the world’s largest oil and gas fields are ancient reefs. Like the rain forests, the reefs also hold considerable untapped potential in the science of medicine. Japan’s coast is one of the most studied coral coasts in the world. In Japan’s reefs there is a chemical called kainic acid, which is used as a diagnostic chemical to investigate Huntington’s chorea, a rare but fatal disease of the nervous system. Coral also produces a natural sunscreen, which is now being marketed to sell as ... on them for many things and they will play a major role in the future of mankind. They are sometimes called, as stated previously, rainforests of the ocean. However, the same that is happening to rain forests is happening to coral reefs. Depletion. It must be stopped. If we don’t realize our problem, the destruction of coral reefs, then it will only become larger and sooner or later they ...
- 207: Geothermal Energy 2
- ... production of about seven nuclear power plants. III. Benefits: Energy Efficiency As a result of today's use of geothermal energy, the consumption of nonrenewable resources is slowed down, resulting in subsequent slowing down of acid precipitation and the release of greenhouse gases caused by fossil fuel use. Sources of this type of energy are found in many places on the Earth. Its use has helped developing countries such as the ... used only to transfer heat (not to produce it), these heaters will deliver around four times more energy than it consumes. IV. Benefits: Environment Currently, electrical utilities account for three-quarters of sulfur-dioxide emissions (acid rain), a third of nitrogen-oxide emissions (inducing formation of ground-level ozone, smog), a fifth of the gases linked to the greenhouse effect, and half of all nuclear waste. Geothermal power plants produce much ...
- 208: A Farewell To Arms
- ... back to his hotel without finding a way to say goodbye, seemingly lost forever. I found it to be evident that there was a lot of foreshadowing and symbolism in this story, especially concerning the rain. The rain always seemed to be around when something bad was happening and when Catherine and Frederic were apart. When they were together the rain suddenly disappeared. It seemed that Hemingway was using the rain as a vehicle to show Frederic s generally hidden emotions. I liked this book very much but there were a lot of things I ...
- 209: The Periodic Table
- ... the most important tool in a chemical laboratory.The elements in the periodic table are classified into groups or families. The periodic table provides an easy way to show the divission of the elements into acid-forming and base-forming types.It is also a universal table. The periodic table is filled whith many virtues in which I will explain some in the following paragraphs. Elements are classified into families.Such ... To express this, Mendeleev stated the periodic law: The properties of the elements are periodic functions of the atomic weights. The periodic table provides an easy way to show the division of the elements into acid-forming and base-forming types. Those on the left are base-forming; those on the right are acid-forming. Those in between can be either. They have so-called amphoteric oxides and hydroxides that can act like acids or bases. The periodic table's arrangement also divides the elements into metallic and ...

- ... remade, and more ability to train your muscles to their maximum potential. It's that simple. This greater ATP synthesis also keeps your body from relying on another energy system called glycolysis, which has lactic acid as a byproduct. This lactic acid creates the burning sensation you feel during intense exercise. If the amount of acid becomes too great, muscle movement stops. But if you keep on using ATP because of all the creatine you have, you can minimize the amount of lactic acid produced and actually exercise longer and ...
