basically what we are referring to is the opening up of economies moving of national economy to global economy. Unruly globalization y drugs y weapons y endangered species y diamonds y people y organs. Opium production y heroin comes from the opium poppy. y steep slopes help water get to the plants y grown in mountainous areas (golden triangle) Geography of the golden triangle y myanmar/burma, laos, thailand, china, and vietnam y grown by highland groups (akha, hmong, lahu, wa: ecology of opium, remote location, status as ethnic minorities y alienated from the government. Drug eradication within the golden triangle y cut down opium plants to reduce opium. The golden crescent y the taliban made opium production illegal. Afghanistan: opium production, opium eradication, and the taliban y opium producers replaced growing opium with cannabis. y women grow saffron instead of opium.

It is currently popular for automobiles to use 10% ethanol / 90%gasoline mixtures (âgasoholâ) as fuel. According to popularconsensus the main benefit of gasohol use is that it âreduces ourdependence upon foreign oil.â We test this assertion by making someelementary calculations. Our analysis will unrealistically ignoreengine maintenance issues associated with older automobiles (suchas gasket and seal hardening), added fuel consumption necessary toproduce grain used as a feedstock in ethanol production,incremental food price increases associated with a reduction ingrain stocks, and many other effects. Gasohol use typically reducesaverage fuel economy by approximately 15% and effectively leavesfuel prices unchanged. This article further debates the wisdom ofethanol use and may be of interest outside the problems:

These concerns and problems have been strongly influenced byconversations with Dr. H.J. Harmon, of the OSU physicsdepartment.

2. Consider a 14.2 mpg 1991 Ford F150 driven 761 miles. Calculatethe pure gasoline consumption of this truck when: a) usinggasoline, and b) when using gasohol (with its attendant economyreduction). Determine the total CO2 emissions for each fuelassuming all fuels produce 20 lbs of CO2 per gallon. Comment uponthe wisdom of using gasohol versus pure gasoline in this vehicle.

With two Polaroid filters, specially fabricated plastic sheetshaving the property that they transmit light which is linearlypolarized along a certain directionâcalled the âpolarizationdirectionâ of the filterâdetermined by material properties of theplastic sheet. Conversely, Polaroid filters absorb light polarizedat right angles to the polarization direction.
Determination of the polarization direction: Find an outsidehorizontal surface lying
between you and the general direction of the sun from which glareis apparent. This
can be a parking lot surface, pool of water or myriad otherobjects. View the object
through one of your filters and rotate it about the line-of-sight.You should observe
the apparent brightness change as you rotate the filter. When thescene is at its
brightest, you have found the polarization direction for yourfilterâit lies in the
horizontal plane for reasons that are well understood but outsidethe scope of this
exercise. You can mark it on your filter with a piece of scotchtape. Determine the
polarization direction of the second filter and mark it.
