Midyear Symposium: Things I learned

I went to the Midyear Symposium at BSU, and I learned a few things.

Firstly, G.R.E.E.N means "Go Reproduce Environmental Energy all Nations".

Secondly, oils from the campus cafeterias can be used in a chemical process to create bio-diesel.

Thirdly, the fatty acids can be separated from the rest of the oil, then it can be mixed with a catalyst to create the biological component to the bio-diesel.

Fourthly, Ethanol can be combined with the catalyst/fatty acid mix.

Lastly, a bye-product of the reaction known as glycerol can be used to create soap.    

Paper 4 Progress

Three papers down, one to go. In my proposition, I wanted to do a paper about digital entertainment versus analog (real world) entertainment. Apparently, there would be enough material to write several series of encyclopedias. I have never written a book, and I don't plan on starting now. Therefore, I am limiting my argument to the rising star of video games and the setting sun of board games. In plain english, I am arguing that board games are seeing a dramatic decrease in interest as video games increase in interest. To measure interest, I am using sales statistics. So far, my sources contain some stats and some background information. Soon, though, I want to find some hardcore sources with plenty of numbers. You can't argue with numbers...
