Bloodlines Chapter Twenty-One

MIXING WHAT I NEEDED TO was easy. Getting it to where I needed took a couple of geezerhood. I first had to pay management to what mixed bag of wash medal used in the PE showers. The school provided shampoo and conditi whizr, of course, nevertheless she wouldnt trust her odd hair with both(prenominal)thing so commonplace. Once I knew her brand, I hunted it down at a topical anaesthetic beauty supply store and emptied its expensive contents down the drain. I fill bottles with my homemake intermixture instead.The next step was switching it with Laurels own bottle. I recruited Kristin for this. Her cabinet was next to Laurels in PE, and she was more than unbidden to help me step up. Part of it was that she shared our dis a corresponding(p) of Laurel. But also, ever since Id saved her from the tattoo reaction, Kristin had made it perish that she was indebted to me and had my keystone in whatever I needed. I didnt the likes of the idea of her owing me, plainly her assista nce did come in handy. She fix a moment when Laurel prospected away from her unlocked locker and cloak-and-daggerly made the switch. We then simply had to wait for the next metre Laurel used the shampoo to see the results of my handiwork.Meanwhile, my other lab experiment wasnt receiving quite the reaction Id judge. Ms. Terwilliger accepted my report barely non the amulet.I arrive no use for it, she remarked, glancing up from the papers Id handed her.Well I sure as shooting dont either, maam.She set the papers down. This is all true? You followed every step precisely? Id certainly move oer no way of completeing if youd, ah, fudged some of the detail.I shook my head. Nope. I followed every step.Well, then. It looks like you take away yourself a fire- make charm.Maam, I give tongue to, by way of protest.She grinned. What do the directions say? Throw it and recite the last incantation? Do you know it?Into flame, into flame, I said promptly. After having typed the spell in itially for her notes and then re-creating it, it was terrible not to stomach picked it all up. According to the book which was an English translation of a Latin text the language didnt consider so long as the words opineing was clear.Well, there you go. Give it a try one of these days and see what happens. Just dont light any school property on fire. Because thats not safe.I held up the amulet by the string. But this isnt real. This is nonsense. Its a bunch of junk thrown together in a bag.She shrugged. Who are we to question the ancients?I stared, essay to figure out if she was joking. Id known she was eccentric from day one, provided shed passive always come across as a serious scholar. You cant believe that. Magic like this its not real. Without thinking, I added, Even if it was, maam, its not for humans to mess around with powers like that.Ms. Terwilliger was silent for some(prenominal) moments. You truly believe that?I fingered the cross around my neck. Its how I wa s embossed.Understood. Well, then, you may do what you like with the amulet. Throw it away, donate it, experiment with it. Regardless, this reports what I need for my book. convey you for putting in the time as always, youve done more than was required.I put the amulet in my purse when I left, not really sure what to do. It was useless and yet, it had also cost me a lot of time. I was disappointed it wasnt acquittance to have a more meaningful purpose in her research. All that effort gone to waste.The last of my projects showed maturation the next day, however. In AP Chemistry, Greg Slade and some of his friends scurried into class well(p) as the bell rang. Our teacher gave them a archetype look, provided they didnt even notice. Slade was preening over his eagle tattoo, baring it for everyone to see. The ink was gleaming silver again. Next to him, one of his friends was also proudly showing off another silver tattoo. It was a pair of stylized cover daggers, which was only s lightly less tacky than the eagle. This was the alike(p) friend who had been worrying earlier this week that he wouldnt be able to get a tattoo. Apparently, things had worked out with the supplier. Interesting. Part of holding off on coverage to the Alchemists had been to see if nevermore would replenish what Id stolen.Its amazing, Slades friend said. The rush.I know. Slade gave him a fist bump. Just in time for tomorrow.Trey was watching them, his expression dark. Whats tomorrow? I whispered to him.He eyed them contemptuously for a few more moments out front turning back to me. Do you live under a reel? Its our first home game.Of course, I said. My high school experience wouldnt be complete without the quintessential derriereball game hype.A lot of good itll do me, he muttered.Your bandages are off, I pointed out.Yeah, solely now Coach is still making me take it easy. Plus, Im kind of deadweight now. He nodded toward Slade and his friend. How come they dont get in trouble for those? Theyre not making any effort to hide them. This school has no discipline anymore. Were practically in anarchy.I smiled. Practically.Your familiar should be on the team, you know. Ive seen him in PE. He could be a star athlete if he daunted trying out for anything.He doesnt like drawing attention to himself, I explained. But hell probably go watch the game.Are you going to go to the game?Probably not.Trey arched an eyebrow. Hot fitting?No But Im good well, not into watching sports. And I facial expression like I should support with Jill.You wont even go to cheer me on?You dont need my cheers.Trey gave me a disappointed look as a response. Maybe its just as well, he said. Since you really wouldnt get to see me performing to my honorable level of awesomeness.That is a shame, I agreed.Oh, stop with the sarcasm al falsify. He sighed. My dads going to be the most upset. on that point are family expectations.Well, that was something I could relate to. Is he a football pl ayer too?Nah, its less intimately football itself than donjoning yourself in peak physical shape. Excelling. Ready to be called upon in a moments notice. cosmos the best on the teams been a way to keep him proud until these tattoos started.Youre good without any tattoo help. He should still be proud, I said.You dont know my father.No, but I think I know soul just like him. I smiled. You know, maybe I do need to go to a football game after all.Trey simply smiled back, and class started.The day passed calmly, but Jill ran up to me as concisely as I entered the locker room for PE.I heard from Lia She asked if I could come by tonight. Shes had prescribed practices with the other models but thought I could use a special session of my own since I dont have any experience. Of course, the thing is, I you know, need a ride. Do you think I mean, could youSure, I said. Its what Im here for.Thank you, Sydney She threw her arms around me, frequently to my astonishment. I know you dont have any priming to help me after everything Ive done, but Its fine, its fine, I said, awkwardly patting her on the shoulder. I took a steadying breath. prize of it as Jill hugging me. Not as a vampire hugging me. Im glad to help.Would you two like to be alone? sneered Laurel, striding in with her entourage. I always knew there was something supernatural near your family.Jill and I intermit apart, and she blushed, which only made them laugh more. God, I hate them, she said when they were out of earshot. I really insufficiency to get them back.Patience, I murmured. Theyll get whats coming to them someday. Eyeing Laurels locker, I thought that someday might come sooner sooner than later.Jill shook her head in amazement. I dont know how you can be so benignant, Sydney. everything just rolls right off of you.I smiled, wondering what Jill would think if she knew the truth that I wasnt quite as for adult as I appeared. And not just when it came to Laurel. If Jill expected to t hink of me that way, so be it. Of course, my facade as a kindly, turn-the-other-cheek person was shattered when Laurels shrieks filled the locker room at the end of class an time of day later.It was almost a repeat of the ice incident. Laurel came tearing out of the shower, wrapped in a towel. She ran to the mirror in horror, holding her hair up to it.Whats wrong? asked one of her friends.Cant you see it? cried Laurel. Theres something wrong it doesnt feel right. Its oil or I dont know She took out a blow dryer and dried a section while the rest of us watched with interest. After a few minutes, the long strands were dry, but it was hard to tell. It really was like her hair was coated in oil or grease, like she hadnt washed it in weeks. That normally gleaming, bouncy hair now hung in lank, ugly coils. The color was also off a little. The bright, flaming red now had a sickly yellow hue.It smells weird too, she exclaimed.Wash it again, suggested another friend.Laurel did that, but it wasnt going to help. Even when she figured out that her shampoo was causing the problem, the stuff Id made wasnt going to come out of her hair easily. Water would continue fueling the reaction, and it was going to take many, many scrubbings before she fixed the problem. Jill gave me astonished look. Sydney? she whispered, a million questions in my name.Patience, I assured her. This is just the first act.That evening, I drove Jill down to Lia DiStefanos boutique. Eddie went with us, of course. Lia was only a few years older than me and nearly a foot shorter. Despite her tiny size, there was something big and forceful about her personality as she confronted us. The shop was filled with elegant gowns and dresses, though she herself was dressed ultra-casual, in ripped jeans and an oversized peasant blouse. She flipped on the closed in(p) sign on her door and then confronted us with hands on her hips.So, Jillian Melrose, she began. We have less than two weeks to turn you into a model. Her eyes fell on me. And youre going to help.Me? I exclaimed. Im just the ride.Not if you want your sister to collide with in my show. She stared back up at Jill, the difference in their heights almost comical. You have to eat, drink, and rest modeling if youre going to pull this off. And you have to do it all in these.With a flourish, Lia grabbed a nearby shoe box and produced a pair of glittery purple piazza with heels that had to be at least(prenominal) five inches high. Jill and I stared.Isnt she tall enough already? I asked at last.Lia snorted and thrust the shoes at Jill. These arent for the show. But once you master these, youll be ready for anything.Jill took them gingerly, holding them up to study them. The heels reminded me of the silver lay on the line Eddie and Rose used to kill Strigoi. If Jill really wanted to be prepared for any situation, she could just keep these around. Self-conscious of our scrutiny, she finally kicked off her brown flats and fastened the ma ny elaborate straps of the purple shoes. Once they were on, she lento straightened up and nearly fell over. I hastily jumped to catch her. Lia nodded in approval. See? This is what I was public lecture about. Sisterly teamwork. Its up to you to make sure she doesnt fall and break her neck before my show.Jill shot me a look of panic that I suspect was reflected on my own stage. I started to suggest that Eddie be Jills spotter, but he had discreetly moved off to the side of the shop to watch and seemed to have escaped Lias notice. Apparently, his cautionary services had limits.While Jill simply attempted not to topple over, I helped Lia clear space in the stores center. Lia then spent the next hour or so demonstrating how to properly walk for fashion, with emphasis on posture and stride in order to display clothing to its best effect. Most of those fine details were lost on Jill, though, who struggled to simply walk across the room without falling. Grace and beauty werent concern s as much as staying upright.Nonetheless, when I glanced over at Eddie, he was watching Jill with a rapt look on his typesetters case, as though every step she were winning was pure magic.Catching my eye, he spryly resumed his wary, tutelary guardian face.I did my best to offer Jill words of encouragement and yes, stop her from falling and breaking her neck. middle(prenominal) through the session, we heard a knock at the glass door. Lia started to scowl and then recognized the face on the other side of the door. She brightened and went to unlock it.Mr. Donahue, she said, letting Lee in. Come to see how your starlets doing?Lee smiled, his remote eyes at one time seeking out Jill. Jill met his gaze, grinning just as widely. Lee hadnt been around at the last feeding, and although they talked constantly on the phone and IM, I knew she had been pining to see him. A glance at Eddies face showed me he wasnt nearly as delighted by Lees presence.I already know how shes doing, said Le e. Shes perfect.Lia snorted. I wouldnt go that far.Hey, I said, inspiration striking me. Lee, do you want to be in deplumate of keeping Jill from breaking her neck? I need to run an errand. Unsurprisingly, Lee was more than willing, and I knew I didnt need to fear for her safety with Eddie on watch.I left them, hurrying two streets over to Nevermore. Ever since Id heard Slade and his friends confirm the tattooists were in business again, Id wanted to pay an in-person trip. Not a covert one, though. My stolen goods had already yielded their evidence. Except for the clear liquid, I had identified all the other substances in the vials. All the metallics were admit matches for Alchemist compounds, meaning these people either had an Alchemist connection or were stealing. Either way, my case got stronger and stronger. I just hoped itd be enough to redeem me and keep Zoe out of here, particularly since the clock was ticking on her arrival. We were almost a week away from when my father h ad said shed be replacing me.My plan was to see how willing Nevermore was to give me a tattoo. I wanted to know what warnings (if any) they gave out and how easy it was in the first place. Adrians dialogue hadnt yielded much info, but probably his on-fire-biker-skelet-on-with-a-parrot tattoo request hadnt done much to help his credibility. I was fortify with cash today, which I hoped would get me somewhere.As it was, I never needed to flash any. As soon as I walked in, the guy behind the counter the same one Adrian had spoken to looked relieved.Thank God, he said. Please tell me you have more. These kids are driving me crazy. When we got into this I had no idea it was gonna get this big. The moneys good, but Christ. Its crazy to keep up with.I kept my confusion off of my face, wondering what in the universe he was talking about. He was acting as though I was in on his lineation here, which made no sense. But then his eyes flashed to my cheek, and suddenly, I understood.My lily tattoo.It was uncovered, since school was over. And I knew then, with absolute certainty, that whomever he was working with to get his supplies was also an Alchemist. Hed assumed my tattoo made me an ally.I dont have anything with me, I said.His face fell. But the demand You lost the other batch, I said haughtily. You let it get stolen right out from underneath you. Do you know how much trouble we go to in order to get that?I already explained that to your friend he exclaimed. He said he understood. He said hed taken direction of the problem and that we didnt have to worry anymore.There was a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Yeah, well, he doesnt speak for all of us, and were not sure we want to continue. You were compromised.Were careful, he argued. That theft wasnt our fault Now, come on. You have to help us. Didnt he tell you? Theres a huge demand for tomorrow because those private school kids have a game. If we can deliver, well make double the money.I gave him my be st icy smile. Well discuss it among ourselves and get back to you.With that, I turned around and began to leave. Wait, he called. I spared him a haughty glance. Can you make that person stop calling?What person? I asked, wondering if he meant some persistent Amberwood student.The one with the weird voice who keeps asking if any tall, pale people are showing up around here. Ones that look like vampires. I figured it was someone you knew.Tall, pale people? I didnt like the sound of that but kept my face blank. Sorry. Dont know what youre talking about. Must have been a prank.I left, making a mental note to investigate that further. If someone was inquiring about people who looked like vampires, that was a problem. It wasnt, however, the immediate problem. My mind raced as I processed what else the tattooist had told me. There was an Alchemist supplying Nevermore. In some ways, that shouldnt be a surprise. How else were they going to get ahold of vampire blood and all the metals necess ary for their tattoos? And apparently, this rogue Alchemist had taken care of the problem that led to the theft of their supplies. When had my father called saying I was being pulled because of Keiths reports?Right after Id broken into Nevermore.I knew who the rogue Alchemist was.And I knew that I had been the problem. Keith had taken care of me, making moves to get me out of Palm Springs and stupefy in someone new and inexperienced who wouldnt interfere with his illicit tattoo operation. It was why hed wanted Zoe in the first place.I was aghast. I didnt have a great opinion of Keith Darnell, not by any means. But never, never had I thought hed stoop to this level. He was an immoral person, but hed still been raised with the same principles I had about humans and vampires. For him to abandon those beliefs and expose innocents to the dire side effects of vampire blood for his own material gain well, it was more than a betrayal of the Alchemists. It was a betrayal of the undivided h uman race.My hand was on my cell phone, ready to call Stanton. Thats all it would take. One call with the kind of news I had, and Alchemists would swoop in on Palm Springs and on Keith. But what if there was no hard evidence to connect Keith? It was possible another Alchemist might go in and play the same game I had, getting the tattooist to think that they were part of Keiths team. Keith was the one I wanted to bust, however. I wanted to ensure that there was no way he could slip out of this.I made my decision, and rather than the Alchemists, I called Adrian.When I arrived back at Lias shop, I found the training session winding down. Lia was giving Jill some last-minute instructions while Eddie and Lee lingered nearby. Eddie took one look at my face and instantly knew something was wrong.Whats the matter?Nothing, I said blandly. Just a problem Im going to fix soon. Lee, would you mind taking Jill and Eddie back to the school? I have a couple errands I need to run.Eddie frowned. Ar e you clear? Do you need someone to protect you?Ill have someone. I reconsidered, seeing as I was about to meet up with Adrian. Well, kind of. Anyway, Im not in trouble. Your jobs to keep an eye on Jill, remember? Thanks, Lee, I added, seeing him nod. A thought suddenly struck me. Wait I thought this was one of the days you had a night class.Are we keeping you or well, what days do you have class?I hadnt thought much about it, only noticing that some days Lee was around and other days he was in Los Angeles. But in looking back, there was no real pattern. I cut realization light Eddies face as well.Thats true, he said, eyeing Lee suspiciously. What kind of schedule are you on?Lee opened his mouth, and I sensed a ready story coming. Then he halt and cast an anxious look at Jill, who was still talking to Lia. His face fell.Please dont tell her, he whispered.Tell her what? I asked, keeping my voice low as well.Im not in college. I mean I was. But not this semester. I wanted some tim e off but didnt want to disappoint my dad. So, I told him I was just going part-time, which is why I was around more.What do you do in LA during all that time, then? asked Eddie. That was an excellent question, I realized.I still have friends there, and I need to keep my cover. Lee sighed. Its stupid, I know. Please let me be the one to tell her. I wanted so badly to impress her and to prove myself to her. Shes wonderful. She just caught me at a bad time.Eddie and I exchanged glances. I wont tell, I said. But you really should let her know. I mean, I guess theres no harm done but you shouldnt have that kind of lie between you.Lee looked miserable. I know. Thank you.When he stepped aside, Eddie shook his head at me. I dont like him lying. Not at all.Lee trying to save face is the least weird thing going on here, I said.I found out then that Jill could walk from one side of the store to the other and back without falling over. It wasnt pretty, but it was a start. She was still a long ways from looking anything like the runway models I see on TV, but considering she hadnt been able to stand in the shoes at first, I supposed shed made considerable progress. She started to take off the heels, but Lia stopped her.No. I told you. You have to wear these shoes all the time. Practice, practice, practice. Wear them home. Wear them everywhere. She turned to me.And you I know. Make sure she doesnt break her neck, I said. Shes not going to be able to wear those all the time, though. Our school has a dress code.What if they were in a different color? asked Lia.I dont think its just the color, Jill said apologetically. I think its the stiletto part. But I promise to wear them outside of class and practice in our room.That was good enough for Lia, and after a few more words of advice, she sent us on our way. We promised to practice and come back in two days. I told Jill Id meet up with her later, but I dont know if she heard. She was so caught up in the idea of Lee driving her home that pretty much everything else went past her.I drove over to Clarences and was met at the door by Adrian. Wow, I said, impressed at his initiative. I didnt expect you to be ready so quickly.Im not, he said. I need you to see something right now.I frowned. Okay. Adrian led me deeper into the house, beyond where I normally went, which made me nervous. Are you sure this cant wait? This thing weve got to do is kind of urgentSo is this. How did Clarence seem the last time you saw him?Weird.But health-wise?I thought about it. Well, I know hes been tired. But usually he seemed okay.Yeah, well, hes not okay now. Its gone beyond just tired. Hes weak, dizzy, and confined to his bed. We reached a closed wooden door, and Adrian stopped.Do you know what caused it? I asked, alarmed. Id been worried about the complications of a sick Moroi but hadnt expected to deal with it so soon.I have a pretty good idea, said Adrian, with surprising fierceness. Your male child Keith.Stop saying stuf f like that. Hes not my boy, I exclaimed. Hes ruining my lifeAdrian opened the door, unveil a large, ornate canopied bed. Walking into a Moroi bedroom wasnt something I was comfortable with, but Adrians controlling look was too powerful. I followed him in and gasped when I saw Clarence lying on the bed.Not just yours, said Adrian, pointing at the old man.Clarences eyes fluttered at the sound of our voices and then closed again as he shifted into sleep. It wasnt his eyes that held my attention, though. It was the pale, sickly pallor of his skin that, and the bloody wound on Clarences neck. It was small, made with just one prick, like it had come from a surgical instrument. Adrian looked at me expectantly.Well, Sage? Do you have any idea why Keith would be draining Clarences blood?I swallowed, scarcely able to believe what I was seeing. Here was the last piece. I knew that Keith had been supplying the tattooists, and now I knew where Keith was getting his supplies.Yes, I said at la st, my voice small. I have a very good idea.

I have decided to conduct my research on comparing and contrasting the romanticism and enlightenment period. I plan on focusing - Essay ExampleAs the government has re imposed the Anglican Book of Common prayers and has debarred the Non Conformists from holding religious meetings outside the established Church .A series of religion-fuelled crises forced Charles to trim Parliament, and led to the division of the country between two new political parties Tories, who supported the king, and the Whigs, the kings opponents.(Norton Anthology Of English Literature).Everything including Science went through development ,Time and Space were explored, development of Microscope and telescope opened new soul of vision, the authority of Aristotle and Ptolemy was broken and a new concepts were explored .The writers of this reign called this period Augustan as they believed that the English feel has reached to the culminating period of civilization which existed in Rome under the rule of King A ugustus. The art was formalized and in that respect was little appreciation of Nature or beauty. The men of this age exalted the reason and regularity. They carried dislike for the emotions, vehemence and strong individuality as exhibited in the previous generation literature they sought for a conventional uniformity in manners, speech, and in everything else, and were uneasy if they deviated far from the approved, respectable standards of the body of their fellows. Great poetic imaginativeness hardly exists among them. The poetry was full of abstract expressions and was intended to secure the elegance it often found comforter in superficiality instead of significant meanings. In the pursuit of highest possible perfection in the literature, as the ancients have achieved, their work resulted in shallow formal smoothness. Their strong tendency of moralising was also not free from conventionality and superficiality. In contrast to this was a period of Romanticism that saw the end o f dominance of the metempsychosis tradition. It observed the fragmentation of consciousness away from the cultural authority of Rome (Claire Lamont, 274) there was rediscovery of local cultures and vernacular literature. Romantic Literature is strong in many vernaculars of Rome as suggested by Claire Lamont in The Oxford Illustrated taradiddle Of English literature.

One-child Policy - Essay ExampleThe advantages and disadvantages of peerless-child polity could, however, be argued in the light of the results obtained everywhere the years. Thesis Statement The one-child indemnity is an effective way of peremptory the birth rate and to alleviate social, economic and environmental problems in the long term. Arguments on the form _or_ system of government of one-child The one-child policy was first proposed and introduced by the government in China from the year of 1979 by looking at the colossal population base and possible population explosion in future (Newbold 35). The government was concerned just about the social, economic and the environmental issues that could pose adverse consequences due to the boost population of the country. This is true for the other coarse democracies in the world like the US, India, Indonesia, etc. The one-child policy is aimed to bring about stability in the social and economic environment of the country. W ith the ever increasing population, the income level of the people is likely to suffer (DSCPG 67). The limitations in the concern opportunities and the distribution of limited opportunities among a large number of common people are supposed to take away down the standard of living and gross capital formation in the economy. The discrimination between the members of the night club is likely to create situations of conflict among the common masses. Thus the increasing population with no control on the child birth rate is likely to bring about social imbalance and degradation of the issue environment. The one-child policy was believed to be effective in addressing these social and economic problems (Fong 39). The one-child policy, however, has not been able to achieve the sought after goals of attaining social and economic stability to the extent it desired. This has been due to the fact that the Population and Family planning Commission has utilize it in provincial levels and ha s been a matter of unequal enforcement. The relaxation of the policy in areas of the country which is obtusely populated has resulted in cancelling out the benefits of the policy achieved from other parts of the country. The families have been fined on the aspect of non-adherence to one child policy depending on their income levels. This led to the rise of hidden income and illegal money in the economy. The one-child policy has also been viewed a steps leading to human rights violation. The couples in the civilized societies have, however, started to realize the need of one-child with the rising expenditure from time to time and the decreasing gap between the income level and the cost of livelihood. It has been estimated that 33% of the US families had one child or kid thirty years back. Now, the number has been raised to 43%. This reflected a rise in awareness of the people in resorting to one child so that the household expenses could be met with the prevailing income level. The i mplementation of one-child policy and rise in awareness among the masses has helped to prevent millions of birth over the last thirty years.

Therefore, if the freedom is then people will be living in darkness both in the present and the future (Seaquist, 2012,

Heat temperature and kinetic energy Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Heat temperature and kinetic sinew - Essay ExampleAs particles of matter atomic number 18 in constant motion even in the coldest voids of space, there is always a measurable flierment of rouse energy produced. The continuous movements of the atoms and molecules within the consistence, where they randomly hit each some other produce estrus or thermal energy. Heat is also like work. It can never be contained within the body. Instead, it is energy in transit, transferring from one body into another. It can also transmit from the system to its environment or wrong versa. Heat in the body can be of two forms potential and kinetic energy (Smith, van Ness, Abott, 2001). Heat always travels from a body with high temperature to a lower one. Temperature is the main driving advertise for heat transfer between bodies. According to (Killam, Daou, n.d ), atoms and molecules dont travel with the comparable rate of speed. thither is a accredited range of energy in molecules that dictate s their speed whether slow or fast. Temperature therefore is the measure of the average heat or thermal energy of the particles in a substance. Temperature is measured done thermometers, using a uniform tube filled with alcohol, mercury or some other fluids. on that point is a reflected numerical values indicated for the degree of hotness and coldness of a certain object (Smith, vanguard Ness, Abott, 2001). Heat and temperature is closely related to each other. As observed, the presence of heat makes the temperature rise. However, they are not of the same thing. Heat is the energy produced due to the motion of molecules while temperature is the measurement of the energy produced by the body. Heat is leechlike upon the rate of movement of the particles such as the number of particles in motion, their speed, weed and the type of particles within the body. Temperature, on the other hand is independent of these things. Heat caused the temperature to rise and the removal of heat cau se the temperature to lower down. reject with higher temperature reveals that the molecules in that body are moving with higher energy. To state it more clearly, temperature is not energy, scarcely a measure of it. Heat is energy (Killam, Daou, n.d). Heat has effects to the body from which it is transferred. A certain body is capable of handling such heat energy. This is referred to as heat message. As defined by (Smith, vanguard Ness, Abott, 2001), the smaller the change in temperature within a body that is caused by the transfer of that given bar of heat, there is greater capacity for it. There are two kinds of heat capacity that can be applied in homogenous fluids heat capacity at constant volume and the heat capacity at constant pressure. Every type has certain conditions or properties that must be considered with relevance to their differences in volume and pressure. Heat capacity can also be further divided into three divergent terms heat capacity, specific heat capacity and the molar heat capacity. According to Jorgensen (n.d), molar heat capacity is the required energy for one mole of substance to raise 1 degree Celcius. item heat is the measurement of energy that can raise a material with a certain mass into a difference of 1 degree in Centigrade. They are both intrinsic properties of a certain substance. They are not dependent on the quantity of material present. Heat capacity on the other hand, is an extensive property of

Delta Air Lines Safety Program - Case Study Example7). The bail tax imposed on ticket prices after 9/11 by the government occurred at a time when customer demand was at its piteousest level. According to Mullin, post-9/11 actions by the government, though well-intended, created an estimated $6.5 billion more in costs for the songline industry overall. Mullin, in his government testimony, requested depicted object security funding mechanisms to be utilized rather than imposing taxes and costs specifically on the airlines. In the period since 9/11, passenger traffic has made a slow recovery and returned to pre-9/11 levels by mid-2004. However, as public concern over security faded, problems involving inadequate infrastructure capacity, poor labor relations, and low customer satisfaction re-emerged. For a major airline like Delta, low-fare airlines created a serious challenge, with business travelers willing to give up amenities and unwilling to pay higher fares (Airline, 2005).Ev en though safety act to be a priority for Delta, financial problems accelerated to a point where the only option for the conjunction was bankruptcy. It was the decision of Delta, as had been the case with other major airlines, to declare bankruptcy in 2005, and the companys restructuring since then has unquestionable a fundamental transformation. At present, Delta is one of the most popular and safest carriers in the market (Airline Industry, 2005). Safety as a Priority at Delta Air LinesA safety program at a major airline requires attention to every facet of the industry, and Delta Air Lines has developed an extensive program, from health and safety in the Delta workplace to an open-door policy for employees and the public to express safety concerns. As a licensed F.A.A. part 121 air carrier, Delta must follow the guidelines of a part 121 certificate. The certificate governs all major airline carriers such as American and Delta and is the highest-ranking certificate issued. A pa rt 121 certificate requires extensive training for originals and mechanics with advanced regulations for aircraft and pilot operations (Aircraft & Passenger Safety, n.d.). It should be noted that in March 1997, the National Transportation Safety calling card (NTSB) changed the definition of Part 121 operations.Prior to the change, scheduled aircraft with 30 or more place were operated under Part 121 and those with slight than 30 seats were operated under Part 135. After the change, scheduled aircraft with 10 or more seats were classified as Part 121 operations therefore, since 1997, most carriers that once were popularly k nown as commuters now operate under Part 121 (NTSB, 1998, section 2, para. 2). A survey conducted over a 17-year period by the National Transportation Safety Board showed that the U.S. aviation system as a whole was maintaining a high level of safety. The NTSB examined only air carrier operation in the United States performed under name 14 Code of Federal Reg ulations Part 121 because the majority of the Boards survival factor investigations are conducted in association with Part 121 carriers. From 1983-2000, nearly 96 percent of occupants involved in a Part 121 aviation fortuity survived the crash (NSTB, 2001, p.
