With roots in Ethiopia and Yemen over 500 years ago, Coffee did not grow in popularity until America made it the dink of choice. This is closely linked to the history of our own country. After the tax from the Tea Act of 1773, America rejected Tea sold by the British East India Trading Company, and went to the cheaper alternative of Coffee. This brought it to the masses, and began its march to global domination.
Types of Coffee
Pour Over
The most popular form of coffee in the world is the pour over. It is a process where you pour hot water over coffee in a paper filter. This process is the basis of drip coffee machine. It yields a fast to make cup of decent quality coffee.
a famous coffeemaker that created the drip market is the Mr. Coffee. Have a listen:
Percolated Coffee
The older brother to the modern day drip coffee machine is the percolator. It has one major downside, of it resteaps the coffee multiple times, causing it to become bitter, it was very uncommon to drink this coffee black. Most people who drank percolated coffee have very litter issue drinking black drip coffee though as it is far less bitter.
Espresso
Currently the kind of caffeine, Espresso uses pressurized water to put the coffee grinds under pressure. You also have to grind the coffee finer to allow for the extraction process to work faster. This process requires some decently expensive equipment, and therefore in not a process normally done in homes, but budget espresso machines are more widely avaliable.
Before the modern high pressure espresso machine, there was still a way to make higher pressure, more caffeinated coffee than drip, it was called the Moka Pot. To use it, you would fill the bottom with water. a cup with coffee, and then screw it together. Placed upon a source of heat, it would force the water through the coffee under steam pressure. When finished, it would make a noise that sounds like the word Moka. This told you it was done.
I am writing about diamonds in the left side column. Let’s pretend that I run a business that sells diamonds. Underneath this but of text I might put a button to go buy diamonds. I will offer you a diamonds for 3 emeralds. Also equivocal to 13 loafs of bread. Hmmmmmm.
I like rocks alot….. is it obvious? some rocks are pure elements, but others are an amalgamation of many different compounds made in many different ways.
Carbon is a chemical element, it’s symbol is C. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent- meaning that its atoms are able to form up to four covalent bonds due to its valence shell exhibiting 4 electrons.

History
The English name carbon comes from the Latin carbo for coal and charcoal, it also comes from the French charbon, meaning charcoal. Carbon was discovered prehistory and was known in the forms of soot and charcoal to the earliest human civilizations, in the form of charcoal. Antoine Lavoisier formally recognized and listed it as an element in 1789, proving diamonds and charcoal were the same substance.
Usages
Carbon is used in carbon fiber, makes lightweight, strong materials for cars, aircraft and sporting goods, fossil fuels, coal, oil, and natural gas, batteries and capacitors, graphite and carbon nanotubes are used in energy storage, activated carbon, excellent for water and air purification, medicines & chemicals, organic compounds, and diamonds are a form of carbon.
“Unless you are purposely collecting and storing radioactive materials very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.”
Since the 1940’s we have always looked at radiation as the monster that had to be conquered or feared, but is it really as bad as science fiction would have you believe? Let’s explore this concept.
The Facts
Many people believe that radiation Illnesses are a major factor for dying of cancers, but the facts just don’t back this up.
Illness
Rate
Skin Cancer
60,000-90,000
Smoking
7,000,000 (1.5m from secondhand smoke)
Acute Radiation Syndrome
60-100 SINCE WWII
Per Capita Mortality of different dieseases
The Truth
Radiation is a calculatable risk. We use certain tools to keep a safe measurement, of this risk, but in most cases, radioactive material the most people can gain access to is not very dangerous. We have lived along side it for thousands of years, and unless you are purposely collecting it and storing it very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.
The Metric System has been adopted by most of the world, but in The United States of America it never really caught on. There are some major measurements that can be made in Metric. The primary sizes are as such.
Meter – length
gram – mass
kilogram
Celsius – -temperature
candela – luminosity
liter – volume
“If God wanted us to use the metric system, he would have given us ten fingers and ten toes.”
