Our Iceberg is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions John Kotter and has produced a great book that contains a wealth of wisdom and insight. While it looks and reads like a simple book‚ it is anything but simple. The message which Kotter is able to make clear goes much deeper than the surface story of a colony of penguins in search of answers pertaining to their survival on an iceberg. He easily describes a scenario through a penguin colony that any person can relate to and think

8. three main types of hospitality operation: Johnston has proposed the concept of three main types of hospitality (industry) operations based on the hospitality exchange process: product processing operations‚ customer processing operations and information processing operations. Most activities are a combination of all three‚ albeit in different proportions. An accommodation operation is for example predominantly a customer processing operation‚ with very little product and information processing

Preparation of t-Butyl-Chloride March 8 & 15‚ 2012 Theory: Alkyl halides can be synthesized when alcohols react with hydrogen halides. An alkyl halide is a halogen-substituted alkane‚ and a hydrogen halide is a compound consisting of a hydrogen bonded to a halogen (H-X). Alkyl halides are classified as primary‚ secondary‚ or tertiary depending on the number of alkyl substituents directly attached to the carbon bearing the halogen atom. The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to prepare

discredited their claims that Germany was the sole power with aggressive ambitions.[10] On 8 January 1918‚ United States President Woodrow Wilson issued a statement which became known as the Fourteen Points. This speech outlined a policy of free trade‚ open agreements‚ democracy and self-determination. It also called for a diplomatic end to the war‚ international disarmament‚ the withdrawal of the Central Powers from occupied territories‚ the creation of a Polish state‚ the redrawing of Europe’s borders

CM1191 Experiment 5 Kinetic Studies on the Decomposition of Aspirin Aims To investigate the molar absorptivity of salicylic acid To determine the concentration of dissolved aspirin in heated water at various times To determine the effective rate constant of the decomposition of aspirin in heated water at 85°C. Results and Discussion The molar absorptivity of salicylic acid‚ ε‚ can be calculated from the equation‚ A = εcl. A more accurate value can be obtained by finding the gradient of a graph

Gravimetric Determination of Calcium ABSTRACT Determining the mass of a pure compound is a method of a gravimetric analysis. One of the gravimetric analyses is the precipitation; it is a method of separating the analyte from the unknown sample as a precipitate where it will be filtered and converted into a known composition that can be weighed to determine its mass (Skoog et al‚ 2013). Determining the mass of calcium by using gravimetric analysis was the objective of the experiment. A 25 mL

the melting glaciers poses a direct threat to my home. Island nations and coastal cities will suffer the inevitable if we do not act now. In six degrees‚ Mark Lynas warned the impending arctic tipping point‚ once passed‚ the melting of the glaciers cannot be reversed‚ leading to a loss of habitable environment. However‚ I believe that the situation is worse than what Lynas anticipated. Despite some efforts from the international to curb the increasing carbon emissions‚ glaciers are melting faster
