Critics contend that mountaintop removal is a disastrous practice which benefits a small number of corporations at the expense of local communities and the environment. The Economist recently labeled the coal industry "Environmental Enemy No. 1." Additionally, high-profile disasters have called into question the safety of MTR. Most famously, in 1972, a valley fill outside of Logan County, West Virginia burst. The resulting rush of 130 million gallons of toxic water killed 125 people and caused 50 million dollars in damages. Despite evidence of negligence, the Pittston Company, which owned the c ...

One may contact a person hundreds of miles or kilometers away who is not familiar with the caller's area. It may be necessary for the caller to give their location. In an urban area, a street address, nearby business or cross streets should be given. In a rural area, the following information may be given: a highway number and exit, a map or GPS coordinates if there is time, or the route from the caller's location to the nearest landmark. The caller will have to state the nature of their emergency. They will be asked many questions, s ...

The basic functions of help-authoring tools can be divided into the following categories: Help authoring tool - File input. HATs obtain their source text either by importing it from a file produced by another program, or by allowing the author to create the text within the tool using a text editor. File formats that can be imported include ASCII, HTML and Microsoft Word, and compiled help formats such as Microsoft WinHelp and Microsoft Compressed HTML Help. The ability to import compiled help formats is useful when the source text for those files has been lost. See also:

One of Microsoft's arguments during the United States v. Microsoft trial was that removing Internet Explorer from Windows may result in system instability. At least one commentator supports this argument, and notes that removing Internet Explorer will also disable Windows Update, leaving the user without vital security updates to the operating system [10] Microsoft's position is in contrast with other operating systems and browsers. Other operating systems for desktop computers typically include at least one browser—for instance, Safari in Mac OS X. However, in these systems the web brow ...

On the night of September 30, 1965, six of Indonesia's top anti-communist generals were killed and thrown down a well, and while the PKI was blamed for instigating a supposed coup attempt, evidence indicates Sukarno's supporters were behind it, fearing the rise of anti-communist factions, both inside the military and the country as a whole. One survivor, Major General A.H. Nasution, escaped the murder plot, but lost his youngest daughter Ade Irma Suryani Nasution and his aide-de-camp. The events and supposed coup plotters of that night are referred to as "G30S," an abbreviation of "Gerakan 30 ...

Some places, such as train stations, college campuses, or highways, are equipped with emergency call boxes. When available, the use of these call boxes is the best solution: the call can be easily located, the person who answers the call knows the environment and will be able to guide the emergency services. This can be particularly true on the road: a call on a cell phone without the location of the accident is of limited value. It is more efficient for a bystander ...

One of the most common causes of needle-stick injuries, which the Needlestick Act and Bloodborne Pathogens Standard were attempting to decrease, was two-handed recapping (Wilburn, 2004). As a result, a one-handed capping mechanism was added to insulin and tuberculin syringes. The cap is attached to the syringe via a hinge, which allows the cap to be snapped onto the needle using one hand. They usually cost about16-19 cents per syringe (MedicalMailOrder.com, Excel Disposable Syringes, 2005), as compared to 10-15 cents per syringe for the same ...

In countries with light snow, brooms can be used to brush off snow from walks and other surfaces. In colder regions with more precipitation, the main tools of the private snow clearer are the snow shovel, a large lightweight shovel used to push snow and lift it, and the snow scoop, a large and deep hopper-like implement fitted with a wide handle and designed to scoop up a load of snow and slide it on any slippery surface to another location without lifting. Shovelling entails a considerable amount of work and can be a strain on the back and ...

A significant ethical issue for the project is whether or not the needle-remover will cause more harm than its potential benefits. Engineers are obligated to use their skills and knowledge to improve the safety, health, and welfare of the public (Biomedical Engineering Society, 2004). The main concern is for the operator of the device; no engineer should create a device that could injury the operator. Another concern is that children may gain access to the device and accidentally hurt themselves. If a device design could potentially cause ei ...

Many buildings contain asbestos, which was used in spray-applied flame retardant, thermal system insulation, and in a variety of other materials. Typically, asbestos was "flocked" above false ceilings, inside technical ducts, and in many other small spaces where firefighters would have difficulty gaining access. Structural components like asbestos panels were also used. In residences, it was often a component of a type of flocked acoustic ceiling called "popcorn ceiling", until its production was banned in the U.S. in 1978. However, the ban ...

Tattoos can be wholly or partially removed by cosmetic surgical techniques, most commonly through the use of lasers. The laser reacts with the ink in the tattoo, and breaks it down. After this, the patients body then absorbs the broken-down ink and the skin heals once more. The procedure can be expensive, and very painful (some say more so than the original tattoo) and often requires many repeated visits to remove a small tattoo. It also may not be entirely effective in leaving unblemished skin, due to the fact that tattoos also scar the skin to varying degrees, depending on how the tattoo was applied, the way the ski ...

At first, these new roles and structures may seem unfamiliar and uncomfortable to both students and adults in the school. Traditionally, students have most often been rewarded for competing rather than cooperating with one another. Teachers are not often called upon for collaborative work either. Teaching has traditionally been an activity carried out in isolation from one's peers, behind closed doors. Principals, used to the traditional hierarchical structure of schools, often do not know how to help their teachers constitute self-managed w ...

Several wavelengths of laser energy have been used for hair removal, from visible light to near-infrared radiation.
