Political Controversy at its Finest

Political Controversy at its Finest Picture by DonkeyHotey via Flickr.com My favorite occasion to observe the ignorance of young people is during or after a political debate when opinions are expressed via Facebook statuses and updates. I cannot think of a more unprofessional approach to sharing your political views with your peers. I do believe that sharing ideas in an educational setting is crucial to expand the mind, but Facebook is not an educational outlet. It pains me to scroll through my news feed on occasion to see it flooded with unintelligently composed statuses from my peers or kids I went to high school with. How about, instead of bashing candidates for their seemingly dismal personalities, you read an article or two and actually learn about what they plan to do for our country. I, and your how many ever Facebook friends, dont need a play by play of the presidential debate. Really, we dont. As much as Id like to applaud your attempts at being politically involved, its difficult to overlook your lack of grammar and correct spelling. Your community college education has done you well. That was rude, but also true for some. Its really simple, if you dont know what youre talking about, dont go posting your thoughts all over Facebook just to get a rise out of people. In some cases, people do post some interesting information and share valuable opinions, but it is still very petty to do this through Facebook. If you want to make people aware of certain issues you feel strongly about, have an intimate discussion with friends or family, join a club, get involved in a local campaign, anything but heated comments on Facebook about abortion and health care that will make your friends hate you.

You Are What You Eat; The Benefits of Food Co-ops

You Are What You Eat; The Benefits of Food Co-ops https://www.facebook.com/OshkoshFood?fref=ts Everyone has heard the cliché ‘you are what you eat’. Most of us don’t consider how true this actually is. Food is food right? It is all the same anyways so it must not matter where it is coming from or what is actually being eaten. Wrong and, you guessed it, wrong again. I will not go into what people are eating (that is a whole other debate) but I really think we as consumers need to re-consider how and where we buy our food. It makes a difference, not only in the health of our bodies, but for the local economy and (dare I say it?) the environment as well. There is this big stigma that doing what is ‘right’ for the environment is painful, inconvenient, and just a plain old hassle. Take buying groceries for instance. It is so much easier to drive to the conventional grocery store and buy their food. True, you may not know where it is coming from, how safe it actually is, or that all of the money you spend is not helping the local economy out in any way, but those are not really that big of issues in the first place, right? What if there was a way to solve all of these problems without actually giving up going to a grocery store? Cue food co-ops. For those who do not know what a food co-op is, it is actually a rather simple concept.   A food cooperative (food co-op) is basically the local version of a grocery store. Instead of a big company, it is run by shareholders and members from the local community. The produce sold at co-ops is generally the same as what would be found in a conventional grocery store, but member owners assess the needs of their community and can offer alternative products. This materializes into more local, natural, and organic food options and variety; it also keeps the focus on the consumer’s needs and wants. Thinking of the big picture, a food co-op keeps money circulating in the local economy since the produce is coming from local sources and the employees are all from the area as well. So a food co-op is a pretty good idea and all, but how does that apply to a college student? Well, a great example is the food co-op that is in the works for Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I recently interviewed fellow student Bridgette Weber from UW-Oshkosh, who has done a fantastic job getting involved in her local community. She has helped get plans underway for a food co-op to hopefully be set in place in the downtown Oshkosh area. This specific co-op, Weber told me, is a not-for-profit (not to be confused with a non-profit). Every member will be an owner of the co-op, which means they get to help make decisions regarding the co-op (they also get to participate in things such as member only sales). It is not necessary to be a member to shop there however, which is great for those who may not have the money to be a member, but would still like to buy their food locally. As far as pricing goes, the co-op wants to keep it as affordable as possible. Remember they are a NOT-for-profit business, but consumers also have to come to terms with the real price of food (which is often different from what is paid at the grocery store). In addition, EBT and WIC would be accepted at the co-op so it’s available for all people. Oh, and one more great thing, at least for Oshkosh, with a co-op near downtown, it right next to campus and therefore closer than the grocery store. On top of the other benefits, it makes it that much more accessible. All things considered, a person is not just what they eat; they are the community in which they are involved in. It is fantastic to have good food at affordable prices, but it’s even better when that food connects people to their local communities. Food is something that everyone has in common, and that’s a pretty dang good thing. As for me, I cannot wait for Oshkosh to get their food co-op set up; it will be exciting to be connected to my local economy and community. For more information about the Oshkosh Food Co-op and ways to get involved the email is Oshkoshfoodcoop@gmail.com. They can also be reached on Facebook at www.facebook.com/oshkoshfood, though joining the email list is the most direct way to get involved.  Internships are offered according to skill set, and volunteers are always welcome. For more information about food co-ops in other places, check out websites such as http://www.localharvest.org/food-coops/ and http://www.coopdirectory.org/directory.htm. They are great resources for finding a co-op no matter where you are.  Consumers deserve the best product at the best price while making responsible and conscious choices about how their decisions will impact others around them. Buying good food from a local food co-op is just the beginning. Eat well, friends.

Fuel Classification - Basics

Fuel Classification - BasicsEvery fuel-related analysis depends on an understanding of the definition of fuel chemistry, a classification system that separates fuels based on their composition. Often this classification is defined by the type of fuel, where an example of such classification can be found in fuel stocks available for sale, where it is determined by their composition and characteristics, as well as what specific fuel is required for specific applications.The fuel definition is basically a means of classifying fuels as either hydrocarbons, heterocyclic amines, or alkanes, and in various combinations. More complex classification systems can be applied to more complex fuels and applications, depending on the specific needs of the user.While the fuel definition is one of the fundamental elements in fuel-related analysis, a brief overview of its use can help to explain the wide range of applications available to fuel engineers. It is used extensively in areas of industry and engineering where fuels are mixed, including petroleum, chemical and petrochemical, and plastics industries. Additionally, the definition is used in fuel research to classify fuels and identify their properties and characteristics in areas such as combustion, ignition, thermodynamics, and fuel flow.In light of the demand for a fuel classification system, several definitions have been proposed. While the most common has been the chemical, a new approach has been proposed by Robert L. Parker, who proposes to include metabolism as part of the definition. He explains that the metabolism definition can account for properties that are not entirely physical or chemical, but rather relate to the metabolic response of a substance, which can be measured by gas chromatography, solid phase microextraction, mass spectrometry, or biophysical analysis.The closest physical comparison to the fuel classification would be the classification of biofuels based on the fuels available as industrial feeds tocks. Since these fuels are used to manufacture chemicals for various purposes, they must conform to certain fuel definitions.Of course, the major limitation of the fuel classification is the fact that it can only be used as a base for classification in applications and tests where specific fuels are required. There are still other, less formal methods used to classify fuels, including gas chromatography, solid phase microextraction, and the analysis of vapor phase reactions with UV and infrared spectroscopy.The fuel classification is an important and useful tool in fuel research and practice. As the demand for fuel resources continues to grow, it is important to develop methods for faster and more efficient fuel characterization.
