CHAPTER 1
The Early Days
An asteroid allowed antique astronomers become bewildered because corruption caused cosmological completed chaos destroying effusive energy. Finding fuel forever is like going great galactic gateways to a high hill. Is this the inevitable source of increased indeterminate energy? Indeed it could be an invention. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Ice in igloos involved the freezing of a solid object from water which in turn is condensed from gas. Juxtapose junk can be like a kind kite lowering light waiting for new jargon discoveries. Discoveries have produced new and neologistic ideas.
Opening outputs and pouring a plethora of prepossessing information can be quite and a quintessential task. Revealing rationale results becomes replete with replicas of replete repositories. The search for new sources of energy really reminds some of salient, salubrious, and sate sedulous savants scaling sententious and surreptitious samples. Temporal time-keepers transpire transcendent trajectories for tenured teachers. We can do it. We can all work together. We went to the country, to the town went those who solve the problem with the help of more scientific discoveries. Tieing two U's and another two U's end united unisonly forms a unique and universal utopia. Uniformity unearths the unprecedented letter u's to be unfeigned, but verbalizes veritable information. Worldly wizardry writhes xenophobic yens to yoke zany zombies towards a zenith.
One day Harvey Smith got up early in the morning from his small hidden bedroom imagining a strange place he was dreaming about. He looked out the iridescent glass window and wondered what to do with his life. The windows had an opalescent, rainbowlike sheen. Azure skies indicated peaceful weather. In those halcyon days, there was nothing to worry about. The spherical sun was considered to be a luminous body. He saw the American Robins (Turdus migratorius) out by the trees. Harvey Smith recognized many species of birds by their characteristic songs and noticeable plummage.
He just completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Kingdom. Completing his Bachelor's Degree in biological chemistry with an emphasis in chemistry was a massive accomplishment. He had one full year thinking what to do with the rest of his life. He remembers the school's library was like a haven; a place to escape from chaotic times. He was a loner and prefered to stay reserved.
He was in his early 20's; in fact, he was only 22 years old. He was still in his medium-sized bed covered with his furry blankets. He had three different colored blankets. One of them was blue, another one was brown, and the top thick blanket was white with decorated stripes. There was a medium sized cathode-ray tube Panasonic colored television in front of him, several file cabinets, a hidden assembled-wooden desk at the corner of the room, and a lot of his personal belongings stuffed away in his closet.
Harvey Smith loved the environment so much it was similar to a cubicle. It was a cozy and quiet place to study and to get a lot of work done. He decided to get up out of bed to brush his straight white teeth. His favorite toothpaste was Crest and Colgate. He disliked the undesirable bathroom he went to all his life growing up as a child. It was always dirty and filthy. The restroom was nothing but a squalor. He always had two pieces of toast with butter and a glass of orange juice for breakfast. He even had to take his prozac. People would be amazed by Harvey Smith's proclivity for neatness. Harvey Smith could not help preening himself before going out in society everyday.
Unfortunately, he had to take prozac. Fluoxetine is also known as Prozac, Sarafem, or Fontex. It is considered to be an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor class. Eli Lily and Company manufactures and markets prozac. If we combine fluoxetine with olanzapine, it would be known as symbyax. Fluoxetine has been used for treating major depression, bulimia nervosa, panic disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even though new products have came out to treat these disorders, prozac seems popular to a lot of people including Harvey Smith.
Let us look at depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Fluoxetine has been used to treat both kinds of disorders. Both disorders have been studied using fluoxetine in experimental trials. Fluoxetine has the IUPAC name N-Methyl-3-Phenyl-3-[4-Trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-propan-1-amine. Its molecular formula is C17H18F3NO. It can be seen as white crystals with a molar mass of about 309.12 g/mol.
Common side effects with serotonin selective-reuptake inhibitors include sexual dysfunction. Other side effects include nausea, somnolence, anorexia, insomnia, anxiety, tremor, and asthenia. A common side effect of fluoxetine is akathisia. Akathisia is considered as inner tension, difficulty resting, strange movements of the feet and leg, and a lot of anxiety. Akathisia starts with the initiation of the treatment or increasing the dose and slowly disappears after fluoxetine is stopped or decreasing the dose. Akathisia has been linked to suicidal attempts when people feeling better by not taking fluoxetine. This was nothing to worry about for Harvey Smith.
Other people who take fluoxetine develop severe akathisia. Fluoxetine has also been found to be the lowest case of discontinuation syndrome out of several other antidepressant drugs. Let us look at suicide since this can be a problem for sick patients. The Federal Drug Administration requires antidepressants to put a warning sign that it may increase the risk of suicide at a young age. Harvey Smith was lucky not to have any of the following symptoms.
Prozac has been popular as an antidepressant. It has numerous references including in books, movies, and even songs. The book "Listening to Prozac" was written by Peter D. Kramer in 1993. The memoir "Prozac Nation" was written by Elizabeth Wartzel in 1994. It was then made into a movie based on the same name which starred Christina Ricci. The musical "Prozak and the Platypus" written by Jill Sobule and Elise Thoren opened off broadway.
Prozac has helped several people in society, but side effects are possible taking this medication and should always be closely monitored by the physician who prescribed it. But Harvey Smith was smart enough not to mess around with this antidepressant medication. After reading lots of information on this antidepressant, it was time to put the information back in the bag filled with prozac pills in the bottle.
He decided to go for a walk to the University of Kingdom. He roamed everywhere on the wide campus looking at all of the places and wondering what to do with his spare time. As he got to know the place better, he discovered new areas of the campus that he never seen before. For the first time he entered the lost Inca city where the Hanging Gardens of Peace was located. Beautiful cascades and wide variety of species of conifers were all over the place at the Hanging Gardens of Peace. For brief moments, the skyline was bathed in colorful hues coming from the evancescent rays of the sun. The clean air was redolent in the gardens. Many different species of flowers reeked delightful aromas. Plenty of silts were seen near the splashing waterfalls.
This hidden garden was considered to be a hidden place from the outside world for about 400 years in the future. This is where he saw the career center, and eventually he decided to go inside. He met an elderly lady by the name of Lorina. Lorina showed Harvey his way around the career center. As he got to know his way around the career center, he decided to go to the minuscule library inside the career center. It was also a narrow library, but he made good use of it. Harvey Smith was versatile in many subjects and extremely talent. Perhaps that was why so many people let him down.
He looked through many graduate programs. He wanted to choose graduate programs close to where he lived in the city of Lakeside. He decided to write down all the programs he was interested in on a piece of chrome-colored yellow paper and any information he needed to submit applications to these schools. Harvey Smith then went outside and came across a rivulet that led him to meet the three great gods. He decided to pursue graduate school since one of the past Gods, Haleodon encouraged him to apply to a school he felt he could succeed and prosper.
There were four other Gods besides Haleodon. Gods Naleodon and Placeodon were present in the Hanging Gardens of Peace. God Haleodon was bright magenta in appearance with a friendly angelic face of an Angle-Norman horse (species: Equus ferus caballus). God Naleodon was bright cerulean with the face of friendly spectacled cormorant (Phalacrocorax perspicillatus). God Placeodon was bright white and achromatic in appearance with the face of a friendly deer (species: Haploidoceros mediterraneus).
God Saleodon was bright fluorescent green with the face of the Silver Trout (species: Salvelinus agassizii). God Kaleodon was bright orange with the face of an American Cheetah (species: Miracinonyx). All five gods showed themselves in holograms at the corner in the Hanging Gardens of Peace. All five species are now extinct but these three holograms returned on earth to help those in need. The species could not adapt to a changing environment, but they came back as God holograms. God Haleodon had a particularly cherubic face with a cheerful smile.
Surrounded by tropical trees, all five Gods took the time to advise Harvey Smith what path he should take and caution him of any trouble ahead. The gods prophetic vision forseed great danger ahead. The gods prognosticate disaster unless Harvey Smith would be careful. God Haleodon recommended Harvey Smith to pursue graduate school; however, God Naleodon sensed great trouble up ahead. Great caution should be taken advised God Naleodon. God Placeodon agreed with both God Haleodon and ironically agreed with God Naleodon.
Composed of pure white light, God Placeodon consisted of all colors of the rainbow. After giving great thought about Harvey's abilities to pursue graduate work, he finally gave into the decision to go along with God Haleodon to go to graduate school, but also agreed with God Naleodon, with his disappointed look, that great danger lies ahead and that Harvey Smith should be careful and expect trouble, but above all to be brave. Gods Saleodon and Kaleodon advised Harvey Smith to always be prepared for anything unexpected.
The pasts Gods have been impressed with Harvey Smith's ability and knew he had the potential to succeed in graduate school. All three Gods nodded their heads and granted Harvey Smith to continue his journey to graduate school. The God's clairvoyant warning was not ignored by Nextscienceman2100. Harvey Smith listened to the premonitions of disasters that could take place up ahead. Given the nature of the situation, the gods took prescience that Harvey Smith will be successful. Harvey Smith always wondered if fighting battles could be problematic. They looked through their crystal balls, and granted his wish to continue his journies.
God Haleodon shined the power of strength on Harvey Smith so he can be a bit more stronger than he is currently right now. God Naleodon shined the power of flight so Harvey Smith can have the power to walk on thin air. God Placeodon shined the power of patience so Havery Smith can have great patience when using weapons. God Saleodon shined the power of deep diving and swimming in the sea in case he needed it. Finally, God Kaleodon shined the power of speed in case Harvey Smith needs to escape from a dangerous situation.
On the other side of the midnight blue sky were five mythological hologram sky blonde goddesses. Their names were Suzie, Cindy, Sonya, Vannessa, and Kim. Suzie had dreamy half-n-half hairdo with braid and curls. Cindy had layered locks with curly side sweep and feathered ends. Sonya had medium length layered hair with ultimate waves. Vannessa had straight layered hair with side-wept bang. Kim had long spiral curls with side braid. They were located in a well-kept secret place near Magic Lake.
They listened to the entire conversations from the five great Gods such as Haleodon, Placeodon, Naleodon, Saleodon, and Kaleodon. They vowed they will do their best to watch Harvey Smith along his way in his adventures and shined the power of love and courage that he will be okay throughout his journeys. Their magical power eliminated the need for Harvey Smith to continue to take prozac.
They summed up Harvey Smith's birthdate, 02/19/1975. Adding all of the digits gave the value 34. Adding the two digits 3 and 4 gave the number 7. The number 7 represents the destiny number. It is pisces and that is its zodiac number. The destiny number represents the karmic lessons one will experience during a person's lifetime. Images of the ruling planet Neptune and the unique color green and the gemstone moonstone appeared right before Harvey Smith. These three images represented the solitary seven according to numerology.
In fact, it is the planetary influences represented by the zodiac number that has a strong influence of one's personality traits. According to the zodiac number 7, "seven" people suffer from nervous disorders and depression based on numerology. But the goddesses had no concern about this since they have already eliminated the need for Harvey Smith to take This was brought to the attention of Harvey Smith to take the standard dosage of forty milligrams of prozac on a daily basis. Harvey Smith walked outside The Hanging Gardens of Peace with his pitch-dark black backpack where the library was located nearby. He decided to walk back home and leave The Hanging Garden of Peace from the lost Inca city.
Harvey Smith found lots of aluminum cans on the way home. He knew the importance of recycling. Recycling aluminum is a process in which scrap aluminum is reused in products after it is first being produced. Remelting the metal is less expensive and energy intensive than making new aluminum by electrolysis using aluminum oxide. Aluminum oxide is first mined from the ore bauxite. It is then refined by the Bayer Process. Recycling aluminum that is scrap takes about five percent of the energy used to make new aluminum. Aluminum is considered to be special because it can be recycled a lot without losing its quality.
A small percentage of aluminum that is made in the United States comes from recycled scrap, and a lot of aluminum made since the 1800s is still used today. Recycled aluminum is used for automobiles, bicycles, boats, computers, aircrafts, and many other products. Aluminum is used because it is strong, light weight, and the material has a high thermal conductivity. Recycling does not change or damage the metal's structure. It can be recycled as many times it wants to, and it still can be used to make any product just as good as new aluminum can be used.
Recycling aluminum helps save costs over making new aluminum cans. Let us take a look at the advantages of recycling aluminum. Saving energy is one of the advantages. Recycling aluminum saves a huge percentage of greenhouse gas emission from aluminum production. Saving the environment is another advantage. If we relate energy being proportional to the gas carbon dioxide, then recycled aluminum can create a very small percentage of carbon dioxide produced from raw materials. However, this cannot always be assumed since there are always other variable factors involved.
Electrolysis can be carried out by electricity non-fossil fuel materials. These include geothermal, hydroelectric, solar, and nuclear processes. Aluminum that is produced is used where electricity is not expensive. Countries such as Canada, Brazil, Norway, and Venezuela use a high percentage of hydroelectric power. These countries are major producers of aluminum. Recycling and efficient production benefits the environment. Harvey Smith continued to think about these aluminum cand and the process used for recycling. He always wanted to find a way to be creative and innovative in the mathematical sciences.
There are six steps on how aluminum beverage cans are recycled. The first step is where the cans are divided from waste by an eddy current separator. Aluminum then gets cut into little equal pieces. The next step involves cleaning the pieces by mechanical and chemical processes. The pieces are formed into blocks to lessen oxidation when they are melted. This is done because aluminum oxidizes to aluminum oxide because oxygen is present in air. The blocks are then loaded into a furnace and heat to extremely high temperatures to melt the aluminum. Dross is removed and the hydrogen that is dissolved is degassed.
Molten aluminum separates hydrogen from water vapor and contaminants of hydrocarbon. This is carried out using both chlorine and nitrogen gas. Ammonium perchlorate can also be used. It decomposes to chlorine, nitrogen, and oxygen when it is heated. The best source is hexachloroethane because it is a source of chlorine. The samples are then analyzed by spectroscopic methods. The final product can be made by adding different types of elements to the molten composition to make different kinds of alloys.
