United bounce back, Arsenal spree, City on course

Manchester united football club came back from the disappointment of the burnley match to pummel wigan 0-5 at the jjb stadium. The first half of the game didn't seem to be showing promise for the defending champions as they went into the break with no goals for either team. The second half saw a different enraged united team that scored 3 goal under 12 minutes. Micheal Owen registered his account with sublime goal from a clinical pass from the Portuguese winger, Nani. Two more goals from Berba and Nani to complete the route.

Arsenal on the other hand are beginning to defy comments made during pre-season games by thumping Portsmouth 4-1 at the emirates. The gunners team showed alot of promise with their sublime passes and clinical finish which makes it two wins out of a possible two.

Manchester city stayed on course for the title race with a win at home to Wolverhampton. A goal from the ex-arsenal player Emmanuel Adebayor, who got a pass from Carlos Tevez in the 17th minute of play was all city needed to secure a win.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS)

Several approach and ideas has been developed in order to ameliorate increasing complaints of the effect of "Global warming". Carbon dioxide gas has been targeted as the main culprit. Basically, these are available technologies involved to capture this gas from point sources such as; turbine, cement factories, Oil refineries, then due to a network system of pipes the gas is stored under tested and secured geological formations. Such formations where carbon dioxide can be stored include; depleted oil reservoirs, depleted gas reservoirs, Underground coal seams.

After storage, the wells with which the gas was channeled into the ground is completely sealed up. That is not to say that problems are not encountered. As a matter of fact, a lot of issues arise such as leakage through these injection wells or possible fracture of storage formation during injection. Such problems are currently been resolved in the industry.

Monitoring of these injection sites will be carried out for a good number of years to ensure stability and compactibilty of the gas in the store geological formation. CCS is not the complete solution to the rising global temperature, but it is certainly one of the required technologies and/or approaches to combat it.

Iletracy or Poor schooling standards

After watching a video of a young man, allegedly an engineering student, whom could not decipher the working mechanisms of a motion door, it makes me pause to wonder what sort of engineering he studies in school or the 'school' he attends is of questionable standards... your opinion.....

Oil and Gas jobs

Recent surveys shows that Petroleum jobs rank amongst the high paying jobs anywhere around the world. The ambit of such jobs include Roustabouts to supervisory personnel positions. Such explains the influx of people into the Petroleum majors. Currently, schools that offer petroleum majors are experiencing high applications and consequent high enrollment.
The catch of it all is the equal demand of such engineers and expertise in this field. Regardless of the economic downturn, companies still make sure that they employ in order to avoid a gap, such as that of the 80'S. In addition, the price of crude oil is about $67 per barrels and on the slow and steady increase which indicates another hike in job demand.
Do you want to take a major with the "Black Gold" ?

English Soccer Heads

Once again the most viewed drama series in Britain is up and running. I am actually referring to the English premier league in England. So much for the transfer money have seen teams loose top notch players, and other teams simply off-loading player regarded as "excess to demand". Defending champions Manchester United commenced on a somewhat bright note by winning a fiercely fought battle with Birmingham, Chelsea F.C struggled to beat Hull city and Liverpool succumbed to Tottenham's fire power. The gunners, Arsenal F.C , seems to be sending out a strong warning to both contenders and pretenders by pummeling Everton at goodison park. Heavy spending Manchester city came up good by winning away to Blackburn rovers. Although, its still too early to make predictions, but it won't be surprising to say that alot of surprises are coming our way. Time will surely tell. Tell me what you think.

Cleansing Malwares

Modern day computers are constantly affected by "infections" that includes spyware and adware. These infections does not have to be unintentionally downloaded into a PC but comes about when a PC user visits certain websites and web pages that creates a leeway for these infections.
In addition, Malware is a word coined from "Mal"icious and soft"ware" which comprises of adwares and spywares. Symptoms that arises due to such infections include ; Slow running computers, erratic PC behavior, frequent computer freeze, Firewall alerts of such intrusions.
Computers that are already infected can be restored if Firefox is installed which helps to detect such malicious sites, Avoidance of a lot of "free" downloadable programs, an efficient anti virus can be installed to help combat such problems.
