How To Make A Recycling Bin Websites

• website 1

Garbage problems plague almost every major city worldwide. Many governments have applied measures to combat this problem. They have opened more landfills and dump sites, but for some reason, garbage keeps piling up like a never-ending cycle. Garbage has contributed to the rampant spread of various forms of pollution. At the rate it is going, trash might soon take over the planet. Something has to be done about this garbage problem and that something is called recycling.

If you are in need of a divided recycle bin you can make one easily for yourself. It just takes a few minutes and you can set up your own recycling center that doesn't look like a garbage can alley in your kitchen or designated space.Purchase a standard 35-gallon plastic latch lid storage container in a color that suits your décor and taste.The 35-gallon container is 18.63" high and 19.75" deep or in width, this allows you to know the measurement for the plywood you will need cut to slide snugly into the container.

Years ago in his neighborhood, Eric Brennan's township had a curbside recycling program. They gave them a large plastic bin and picked up most recyclables free with the local garbage. Unfortunately, politics prevented this from continuing and the funding was taken and used elsewhere in his community. He still wanted to recycle his garbage but no longer had a bin to put it in. He used a garbage can for a while, but sorting through all the mess became a nuisance. He bought my own plastic bin but it tipped easily and filled up fast.

   For construction of a plastic bin, purchase a plastic bin (approximately 10"x19"x12") with a lid. Drill two or three rows of 1/4" holes in the top, sides and bottom of the bin. Raise bin off the surface so that air can circulate underneath. This type of bin will need a tray to catch any liquid that goes through the bottom.
   For a wooden bin, a common size for a worm bin is approximately 1'x2'x3'. An old wooden box or drawer will work as a worm bin. Wooden bins breathe better than plastic and therefore do not need as many holes but you should have two rows of 1/4" holes on all sides. However, wooden bins, because they are always wet, might last only two or three years.

Finding a big, sturdy basket or storage bin is the only task that you need to complete for making your own recycling bin. If you do not have one of these in your possession, you can pick one up at your local hardware or department store. After you have your storage bin, take a marker and separate your recycling bins by writing which products goes in what bin. Ideally, you would need three bins: paper, plastic and glass. Adding a bag to the inside of your bins is an easy way to transfer your recycled products.

Roller Coaster: Task 2- Video Clip 1

I learned that most of the time the roller coasters are doing the spine-tingling stunts they are all applied solely because of gravity, potential energy, and kinetic energy. At the beginning of the ride, the roller coaster is lifted by a chain, which slowly pulls the roller coaster up the first hill, storing all the potential energy it needs. When the roller coaster gets to the top and is about to plunge down the first hill, that potential energy turns into kinetic energy.

Roller Coaster- Conclusion

• The more energy a roller coaster has at the beginning of the ride, the more successful the ride. That means it needs to begin with a lot of potential energy.
• What factor do you think affects the amount of potential energy the roller coaster will have? The height of the first hill determines the amount of potential energy
• What do you think is the safest way to "come down" from the first hill? The safest way to come down the first hill is to have a smooth, low-sloped hill
• How do you think the roller coaster should exit from the first hill? It should exit with a clean low path to carry all the momentum so it won't crash
• What do you think the height of the second hill should be? The second hill should always be low enough so that it isn't higher than the first hill but still can pass on enough kinetic energy
• What shape do you think the loop should be? (Parabola, elliptical, square...etc) the loop should be elliptical to give the passengers excitement and a faster spin so the roller coaster won't slow down and/or stop and/or crash

Roller Coaster: Task 3- part 2

Roller Coaster: Task 3- part 1

• The height of my first hill was 80 meters
• the shape of the my first hill was was smoot slope
• the exit path was a low slope
• the height of my second hill was 70 meters
• My loop was elliptical that was 35 meters high
• the arrows indicate the maximum potential and kinetic energy levels

Roller Coaster: Task 1- Video Clip 3

 The max amount of potential energy is collected on the first hill of the roller coaster. That potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill, which is the max amount of kinetic energy. On a loop the potential energy is stored at the highest point, which is released at the bottom.

Roller Coaster: Task 2- Video Clip 2

I learned that on a roller coaster, all the kinetic energy u need is all there by the time you reach the bottom of the first hill. The only thing is that the rest of the loops and hills and turns have to be lower than the first in order for the roller coaster ride to continue without stopping. If that was the case then the ride would come to an end very shortly, without making it back to the starting point.

Level 4: Roller Coaster

This was pretty easy I only moved the 3rd block and it gave me all of these other slopes.

Level 3: Roller Coaster

This one was pretty tough. I had to make sure my arch didnt knock them out even more but at the same time I needed to rack up as many points as I could so I put the 2nd and 3rd box down to where I would get a huge slope and had to even out the rest of the slopes to make up the rest of the points.

Level 2: Roller Coaster

In order to prevent the passengers from throwing up or passing out, I made the 2nd box a little higher so the slope wouldn't be so high. Afterwards I made sure the second slope wouldnt have the same effect so I made it slightly longer but still not high enough to injure the passengers. When that was set I let the last slope small.

Level 1: Roller Coaster

I first moved the 2nd gray box down. Then I lower the 3rd box even further down past the 2nd box. After that I moved the 5th box down slightly to make another curve. When I did that I had to move the 2nd to last box down to make the last slope continue downward.

• Computer and software engineers are part of multidisciplinary efforts to develop next-generation functional imaging technologies that will provide earlier detection -- and better treatment -- of a wide range of ailments
• Raynelle Callender attended the University of Virginia and now works for Rolls-Royce North America's civil aero-engine market, using her engineering background in a business setting. As part of her job, she gets to travel to many countries, including Brazil, China, and Germany.
• Today's fastest supercomputers will eventually be left in the (very) slow lane, computer engineers say. Future quantum computers, which work by manipulating atoms and molecules, will be millions of times faster than anything available today.

Lesson 5: Careers With Video Clips

I like the video about fighting cancer with nanotechnology. Microscopic machines can really improve alot of medical difficulties(http://www.engineering.com/Videos/VideoPlayer/tabid/4627/VideoId/2047/Fighting-Cancer-With-Nanotechnology.aspx). I also liked the video about the running robot because it's very hard to make a non-living object do what a human would do(http://www.engineering.com/Videos/VideoPlayer/tabid/4627/VideoId/2069/Running-Robot.aspx). The third video i liked was the one with the bike made out of cardboard. It's just crazy the things you can make with such a material(http://www.engineering.com/Videos/VideoPlayer/tabid/4627/VideoId/2133/Bicycle-Made-From-Cardboard.aspx).

• Busy, distracting backgrounds that make the text hard to read
• Text that is too small to read, text crowding against the left edge, and text that stretches all the way across the page
• Links in body copy that distract readers and lead them off to remote, useless pages
• Thumbnail images that are nearly as large as the full-sized images and link to graphics with no alt labels
• Tables used as design elements, especially with extra large borders
• Anything that blinks, especially text
• Too many little pictures of meaningless awards on the first page
• Complicated frames, too many frames, unnecessary scroll bars in frames and orphan pages
•  Entry page or home page that does not fit within standard browser window
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Good Web Design Features

I learned that...

• Text should be big enough to read, but not too big
• 
  
  Navigation buttons and bars should be easy to understand and use
• Links must be underlined so they are instantly clear to the visitor
• Graphics and backgrounds should use browser-safe colors
• Every web page in the site should look like it belongs to the same site and should contain repetitive elements that carry throughout the pages
  
  
  
  

A New Beginning.....

Well... anotha day at Tri-cities... Im kinda tired but I can manage the rest of the day. It seems like these past weeks been goin by WAAYY too slow but still, the days are ending regardless. As a junior these are my last couple of years and I gotta really make a stand for college scholarships, and it all starts here. I guess I need to get busy don't I?
