Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was.

Hydroacoustic instrument systems transmit a continuous wave1 (CW) pulse and/or a frequency modulated (FM) pulse2. The echo that is received is processed and recorded as a ping that can be displayed in an echogram. A single frequency transmits pulse can also be called a continuous wave pulse. A landline (also known as land line, land-line, main line, home phone, landline, fixed-line, and wireline) is a phone that uses a metal wire or optical fiber telephone line for transmission as distinguished from a mobile cellular line, which uses radio waves for transmission. To convert integer to binary, start with the integer in question and divide it by 2 keeping notice of the quotient and the remainder. Continue dividing the quotient by 2 until you get a quotient of zero. Then just write out the remainders in the reverse order. Here is an example of such conversion using the integer 12. from the lowest to the highest frequency (longest to shortest wavelength), includes all radio waves (e.g., commercial radio and television, microwaves, radar), infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.

The Invention of the Washing Machine
In the past, people used sticks and stones or scrub boards to clean their clothing. It was sweaty, backbreaking work. [Therefore,; Of course,; It's no wonder,; To sum up,] we owe a world of thanks to James King. He created the model for the modern washing machine in 1851. This machine cleaned clothes while a person cranked the handle. People who used it developed strong muscles in their arms from turning the handle. [Yet,; For,; So,; Then,] in 1908, Alva J. Fisher created an electric washing machine named Thor. Thor was not the first automatic washing machine. However, it was one of the most popular models at the time.

READ THE PASSAGE CAREFULLY AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS
The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely complicated to operate. The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves through crooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily. Resting on H-shaped steel racks called "bents," long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth. Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky ground and return to the surface later on.
The pattern of the pipeline's up-and-down route is often determined by the harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic climate, the tortuous lay of the land, and the varied compositions of soil, rock, or permafrost (permanently frozen ground). A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and the properties of the soil.
One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by private industry. In fact, no single business could raise that much money, so eight major oil companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controls oil rights to a particular share of land in the oil fields and paid into the pipeline-construction fund according to the size of its holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate, supply shortages, equipment breakdowns, labor disagreements, treacherous terrain, a certain amount of mismanagement, and even theft, the Alaska pipeline has been completed and is operating.
Which phrase in the first paragraph mean ‘Supported by’?
According to the last paragraph, ______________________ determines what percentage of the construction costs each member of the consortium would pay.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. "Rested on" means supported by.
2. The size of each company's holding share in the oil fields

1) who makes the rule.
2)How do you know who makes the rules?
1. Do you personally find more happiness buying a new material possession or purchasing an experience? Do the results of the study surprise you? Why or why not?
2. Do you believe the findings of the study would be the same for people from different socioeconomic backgrounds? How about people in different cultures? Why?
3. In the context of this article, can money buy happiness? Is money necessary for happiness? Cite evidence from the article, your own personal experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer. (YOU CAN BUY HAPPINESS, IF IT'S AN EXPERIENCE by Maanvi Singh)
Answer:
Over the past decade, an abundance of psychology research has shown that experiences bring people more happiness than do possessions. The idea that experiential purchases are more satisfying than material purchases has long been the domain of Cornell psychology professor Thomas Gilovich.

why pizza may be considered an art form?
Answer:
perché é italiana
Explanation:
vai a napoli
Explanation:
One of the most reasons why it’s art is since of the flavor it brings. Each pizza is diverse since of its toppings and the burst of flavor it brings. For example, put side by side a pizza that has pineapple and ham or maybe pepperoni and pizza that has pepperoni, green peppers, and hot sauce. In both of those pizzas, you’re attending to taste something diverse. In one pizza, you’re planning to taste a bit of a sweet sensation, whereas you’re planning to taste a few warm within the other. Another reason why pizza is art is since of the planning that goes into making the idealize pizza. Presently, for individuals that take making a pizza genuinely, the planning incorporates being fragile

In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people’s lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves. Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community. Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all. Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.
