Chocolate truffles Chocolate is a ;New World; food originating in South America. It was first consumed in liquid form by the Ancient Mayans and Aztecs. Spanish explorers introduced chocolate to Europe, where it was likewise appreciated and esteemed.

Continental engineers. This is an arbitrary division forced by the limitations involved in handling large files. Abt, Roman Born in Bunzen, Switzerland on

I believe that Ron is looking at gross exports of Crude + Condensate (C+C). Based on the net exports metric, using the EIA data base (net exports = total petroleum liquids + other liquids less total liquids consumption), Saudi net exports have been below their 2005 rate of 9.1 mbpd for eight straigh years.

Global area-averaged lower tropospheric temperature anomalies (departures from 30-year calendar monthly means, 1981-2010). The 13-month centered average is meant to give an indication of the lower frequency variations in the data; the choice of 13 months is somewhat arbitrary an odd number of months allows centered plotting on months with no time lag between the two plotted time

A steam locomotive is a type of railway locomotive that produces its pulling power through a steam engine. These locomotives are fueled by burning combustible material – usually coal, wood, or oil – to produce steam in a boiler. The steam moves reciprocating pistons which are mechanically connected to the locomotive's main wheels (drivers

A glance backward reveals the fact that Brainerd has experienced some very severe setbacks, a condition quite natural in a railroad town. The Jay

Air conditioning (often referred to as AC, A/C, or air con) is the process of removing heat and moisture from the interior of an occupied space, to improve the comfort of occupants. Air conditioning can be used in both domestic and commercial environments. This process is most commonly used to achieve a more comfortable interior environment, typically for humans and animals; however, air

In my opinion, a much better choice is the language Lojban.The language has many advantages.The grammar is based on Boolean algebra (it is possible to use a subset of Lojban as a computer programming language).. The letters in Lojban each denote a single phoneme, instead of the multiple phonemes English uses.

The Content - It's not just about batteries. Scroll down and see what treasures you can discover. Background. We think of a battery today as a source of portable power, but it is no exaggeration to say that the battery is one of the most important inventions in the history of mankind.

This Solar Roadways project started showing up in my Facebook news feed, and seems to be getting a lot of popular support.. Except, I’m guessing, from actual engineers. The idea that we can convert our roadway surfaces to electrical generation solar collectors has numerous practical problems.

In terms of total petroleum liquids + other liquids (EIA), OPEC 12 net exports fell from 28 MMBPD in 2005 to 27 MMBPD in 2013, as annual Brent crude oil prices doubled from $55 in 2005 to an average of $110 for 2011 to 2013 inclusive.
