complete process of coal tar production is shown in Figure 1. The coal tar is produced by carbonization of coal. In this process, the coal is heated at 900-1100 ºC and the evolved vapors are condensed to form liquid, from which ammonia is removed to obtain a black viscous crude coal tar. The composition of tar so obtained depends upon the origin and composition of starting material used viz. bituminous (soft) coal, anthracite (hard) (Arnold 1997, Thami 2002). Crude coal tar can be further purified
Tar Baby, the fourth novel of Toni Morrison, is a story about Jadine and Son who are an anti thesis of each other. Jadine – an Art History graduate from Sorbonne and a successful model, moves on to affirm her own female identity and Son – whose mysterious presence initiates the novel, adopts multiple names in the novel and is rooted in his African notions but ironically on the run in the narrative. The novel marks a departure from its preceding list as the story is set on the Caribbean island, Isles
Toni Morrison's Tar Baby, is a novel about contentions and conflicts based on learned biases and prejudices. These biases exist on a race level, gender level, and a class level. The central conflict, however, is the conflict within the main character, Jadine. This conflict, as Andrew W. A. LaVallee has suggested, is the conflict of the "race traitor."2 It is the conflict of a woman who has discarded her heritage and culture and adopted another trying to reconcile herself to the "night women" who
and, unfortunately many ill effects related to this occupation. Does the good that comes from roofing outweigh the bad? This past summer I worked for Guilano Roofing. We worked on very old and tall commercial buildings. Our crew was assigned to tar- pitched roofs. These are flat and consist of two layers, the first of which resembles asphalt. One worker operated a machine that had a spinning blade known as a cutter. The section of the roof we were ripping up was cut into 2 foot by 2 foot pieces

Tar sands are one of the world’s most controversial resources. They consist of bitumen, a heavy crude oil, and a mixture of sand and clay. Bitumen is an organic matter that is solid at room temperature and when heated it will flow and ooze. Often referred to as oil sands, tar sands are found all over the world. The main locations where these commodities are found are Venezuela and Canada. Alberta, Canada is one of the largest hosts of cretaceous rocks, where oil sands form (Tar Sands Basics, 2012)
wrote the book Memoirs of Richard Nixon. And Stephen King debuted in 1979 with his first big name book, The Dead Zone. Toni Morrison was born Chloe Anthony Wofford in Lorain, Ohio in 1931. Her six major novels--The Bluest Eye, Song of Solomon, Sula, Tar Baby, Beloved, and Jazz--have collected nearly every major literary prize. Ms. Morrison received the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1977 for Song of Solomon. In 1987, Beloved was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Her body of work was awarded the Nobel
the same time. Eva knew that if she named them all the same name it would make them feel as though they were equally loved and cared about. Such name-calling created a positive camaraderie between them. Also in the boarding house resided a drunk, Tar Baby, and various newlyweds. Eva kept the whole house under control. Although the logistical theory of how she lost her leg was to feed her family, it did not stop there. Eva did everything she could do to protect her children. She used her stump
The reason for this report is to increase the reader’s knowledge on the Alberta Tar Sands, which will allow them to create their own opinions on the situation. It is a very pertinent issue in politics and will have a very large effect on the carbon emissions of Canada. Also, I wanted to further my understanding of the Alberta tar sands and learn the side effects of the tar sands. How the tar sands are different from other oil and energy procurement methods and which method is more energy efficient
The tar creek mining site originally was owned by a Native American tribe, the Quapaw. The Quapaw wanted to keep these lands, but the Bureau of Indian Affairs deemed members opposing a transaction to mining companies “incompetent” (1). In such a case the business could continue and the Bureau of Indian Affairs sold the lands to mining companies. In essence these lands were stolen from the Quapaw because they were ripe for mining. These mines were then used from approximately 1891 to 1970. In the
learning disabilities, asthma and behavioral problems linked to exposure to coal-tar sealants. Coal-tar sealants have been widely used on parking lots, playgrounds, streets and residential driveways for many years. However, due to recent research that has proven that coal tar poses significant health risks, many organizations, legislators and concerned citizens have joined forces in their efforts to have coal-tar sealants banned. Rep. Lloyd Doggett has been leading the effort to obtain a national
whites to overcome oppression. Slaves would do minor acts like acting as if they forgot important information, break tools, fake an illness and even create slowdowns while performing their duties (DigitalHistory2016, Par1-2). In “Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby”, Brer Rabbit used his cleverness to act as if he forgot that he wouldn’t be hurt by the briar patch. His act of rebellion allowed him to get away from Brer Fox, who didn’t know that Brer Rabbit grew up in a briar patch. A large portion of southern
Sydney Tar Ponds Even though The Sydney Tar Ponds have been remediated, dumping chemical byproducts in the nearest water source is not the most effective solution for controlling your industrial waste because The Tar ponds contain over 700,000 tons of toxic sludge, there was an abundance of health concerns and deformities in humans and animals that lived near the area, and the cost for remediation totaled to a whopping amount of 400 million dollars. Well, tar is an almost liquid black substance
represented in Tar Baby and White teeth? Are race and/or ethnicity challenged in these narratives and if so how? Terence-Jade Estrada Monday 1:00pm 4489543 terencejade.estrada@live.vu.edu.au As Josselson (2012) argues, it is simpler for the people to fix multicultural or multiracial individuals into a single cultural or racial identity, although realistically, most people find it difficult to categorize oneself in a single-margin. This is apparent in the reading White Teeth and Tar Baby, where
the findings from the tar pits. The La Brea Tar Pits is significant to the study of geology. The fossils found in the tar assist geologist to date rocks and the earth’s surface. At the la Brea tar pits, the fossils founds are mostly creatures from the Ice Age. This is because the tar pits formed after the dinosaurs’ age. The dinosaurs died 65 million years ago before the tar pits surfaced the land. Some of the pits in this area are carbon dated from 34- 42,000 years ago. Tar pits are asphalt pit where
Different Ways Fossils Form There are six different ways a fossil can be formed. Tar, carbonization, permineralizaion, amber, desiccation and freezing are the six different ways fossils can form. One way a fossil forms is through tar pits. Tar pits form when crude oil seeps through the Earth’s crust forming pools. The light oils are evaporated leaving the thick sticky oil we call tar. Then a plant or animal gets stuck in the tar because they think it is water. Predators, like Canis dirus (dire wolves)
The tar pits were surrounded by grasslands, shrubby areas and pine forests. Sabertooth cats fed off of herbivores so they often times lived in areas like this because many of the plant-eating animals sabertooth cats relied on lived in these areas. Smilodons
In Flannery O’Connor’s novel, The Violent Bear It Away, Francis Marion Tarwater, also referred to as Young Tarwater, is faced with accepting his preordained calling of becoming a prophet or living as an ordinary individual. Young Tarwater’s great-uncle, Mason Tarwater, raised him from infancy to accept his role as prophet after he died. However, once Mason Tarwater dies, Young Tarwater struggles both internally and externally with accepting his fate and using his free will to choose his own path
How are race and ethnicity represented in Tar Bay and White teeth? Are race and/or ethnicity challenged in these narratives, and if so, how? Toni Morrison an American writer specifically about the different aspects of the past with commenting on her explanation of this ‘untenable reality’ of slavery and the African American voices that developed out of it. She writes about the particular grasp of history and memory, her representation of the psychological ramifications of slavery, her depiction of
dating, time periods have become more accurate and being able to tell what lived during those times became possible. Although conditions have to be correct for fossilization, Pleistocene fossils are widespread and often well preserved. In the La Brea tar pits of present day Los Angeles, hundreds of thousands of preserved bones have been found that give a good idea of the animals that were present during this time. Many of the animals preserved are animals that can still be found today and would be found
