 (Woman): We've been cosidering various useful hydrocarbon compounds,and today,we're going to look at one of the most useful of all these.That's right,I'm talking about coal.There probably wouldn't have been an industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century without coal.Even today,life would be very  different if we didn't have coal.So,where does coal come from?Well,imagine what the earth was like say,300 million years ago-during the Carboniferous period.Much of the land was covered with luxuriant vegetation,especially ferns-ferns big as trees.Eventually,these plants died and were submerged in the waters of swamps,where they gradually decomposed.And we've seen what happens when plants decompose-the vegetable matter loses oxygen and hydrogen atoms,leaving a deposit with a high percentage of carbon.In this way, peat bogs were formed.Then,as time went on,layers of sand and mud are settled from the water over the peat bogs.These deposits grew thicker and thicke...

 Sound levels below about 40 decibels are not very useful in music.They require that back-ground noise,such as audience movement or ventilating systems,be even lower-and that often is not the case.Levels over about 100 are  not only unpleasantly loud but also can be damaging to the ear.As a matter of fact,lately I've been doing a little research on my own on decibel levels that I want to share with you.Last week,I went to an amplified rock concert by a band called the  Creatures-at least,I think that's what they were called-and I took a sound-level meter with me.I measured sound levels as high as 115 decibels from my seat.Oh,and I can vouch for the fach that this level of sound is painfully loud! A couple of nights later,I measured the sound levels at a concert by the Metropolitan Philharmonic Symphony.Although a full orchestra is theoretically capable of producing sounds at a much higher level,I didn't record any sounds from my seat above 90 decibels.Most of the sound le...

 1.(Woman): Hello,I'm Farah Haney.I'm the U.S.Department of Agriculture's country agent here in Harison County.Professor Mackenzie asked me to talk to you about the agricultural situation in Harrison County today.Now,you probably already know that our main crop is traditiaonally wheat,followed by corn.Wheat is still the most imdmportant,but did you realize that,in the last few years,soy beans have become considerably more important economically than corn?I'll bet that's a surprise for most of you.Then,of course,in the southern part of the county,there are a number of organic fruit farms,mostly growing apples and pears,but so far,these are not nearly as important to our county economically as any of three crops I mentioned.So let's talk about our  top crop,which is sweat,as I said.According to the U.S.Department of Agrecultute,there are seven types of sweat,depending on their texture and color.You will find three or four of those growimng here in Harrison County....

 Good morning,student.In our last class,we were talking about regulation in the advertising industry.In fact,as you may remember.I said advertising was one of the most heavily regulated industries in the United states,and I gave as an example the law that prohibits advertising tobacco products on television.New,in today's class,I want to tell you about self-regulation in advertising,which the industry has adopted as a way to stop abuses before they can occur.As we'll see,these self-imposed codes of ethics are intended to control not only bad taste but also misrepresentation and deception-although,of course,they don't always work.Any questions before we get started? 1.On the recording you hear: (Narrator):Who is the man likely to be?
