Our Iceberg is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions John Kotter and has produced a great book that contains a wealth of wisdom and insight. While it looks and reads like a simple book‚ it is anything but simple. The message which Kotter is able to make clear goes much deeper than the surface story of a colony of penguins in search of answers pertaining to their survival on an iceberg. He easily describes a scenario through a penguin colony that any person can relate to and think

PREPARATION OF ASPIRIN AND DETERMINATION OF THE MELTING POINT Ferrer‚ Lara Melissa V. Faculty of Engineering University of Santo Tomas Manila‚ Philippines ABSTRACT This experiment involved three steps: synthesis of aspirin‚ isolation and purification‚ and the estimation of purity of the final product. The synthesis involved the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst‚ phosphoric acid‚ H3PO4. When the aspirin was prepared‚ it was isolated and filtered. The percentage

Our iceberg is melting by John Kotter “Once upon a time a colony of penguins was living in the frozen Antarctic on an iceberg near what we call today Cape Washington.” The following summary will explain the key moments of the fable and how they relate to our lives. First‚ let’s introduce some of the more important penguins – the Leadership Council members. Louis‚ the head of the Leadership Council‚ could perhaps be considered the CEO of the penguin colony.

The current knowledge of stingless bees is clearly described by Vit et al. (2013) in their book‚ “Pot-Honey: A legacy of stingless bees”. The stingless bees have populated the tropical earth with pantropical distribution for over 65 million years which is longer than Apis‚ the stinging honeybees. They are over 500 discovered species and possibly 100 more are yet undescribed. Generally‚ stingless bee colonies make far less honey compared to honey bees. Meliponines basically have stingers with highly

The percent yield of crude product was determined to be 21% and the melting point was recorded at 86.2°C ± 0.2°C‚ with a 6.3% error from 92°C‚ the literature melting point of pure benzocaine. The crude product was then recrystallized to improve the purity of benzocaine and 57.4% was recovered. The new melting point range was measured at 89.1°C ± 0.3°C‚ which has a 3.15% error. The infrared spectrum of the recrystallized product was measured
