**Life, in a Couple Paragraphs**

I wake up one morning feeling adventurous. I hop out of bed and shamble in to the bathroom to take a shower, stopping to pick up my blanket and tuck it into the covers my Mommy had tucked me in the night before.

~

When I exit the shower, I run my hands through my hair and toss my head around like a wet dog to get rid of the water. I go into my room to put on some clean clothes and decide on a green Power Ranger shirt that I get when my family went to Disney last February Vacation and a pair of Lee Jeans, topped off with light up Spiderman sneakers. As I enter the kitchen, I ruffle my dog’s fur and talk to her in that “baby” voice people use on dogs to make them seem more human-like. My brother asks me if I’d make him something to eat and I ask him what he wanted.
	“Cereal, I guess,” is his response. “Lucky Charms,” he adds as I reach for the Oatmeal Squares he usually eats on Saturday mornings before he heads off to his girlfriend’s house on the 11:35 a.m. Subway that takes you Downtown. I pour his cereal and milk on top of it; he only drinks 2% for some odd reason.
	“Thanks,” he says as he wipes his mouth with his long sleeve thermal and seizes his bag from the chair next to him. I ask him what’s in the bag, but all he says is, “stuff.” It takes me a few years to realize what my brother meant, but when I get to junior high I start to understand.

~

“You tryna hit this, dude?” Jed says. I haven’t smoked Marijuana, or “weed,” before, but I don’t wanna look like a pussy. I say “I’ll hit it” and when I inhale I choke for a good two minutes --while Steve and Jed sit on the rock where we hang out after we finish our homework on weekdays.
“First time, huh?” Steve says as he exhales a plume of smoke that makes me gag. I say “yeah” and throw my hand over my mouth.
 “You’ll get used to it,” Jed says exhaling and coughing. Steve points at him and laughs, spitting out the insult, “whatta bitch,” between fits of laughter.

~

“Where is it?” the cop asks. I tell him that I don’t know what he’s talking about and he tells me to “shut up.” He bends me over the hood of my 2005 Acura TL and cuffs my hands together. I know I’m gonna get fucked, even though none of it was my fault. 300 kilos of Heroin “wasn’t my fault?” They wouldn’t buy it, my story. I mean, it starts off sketchy and continues to grow, progressively, worse: like the life of a person that, a few years ago, I would ridicule and make fun of. Society will do that to you. Life will, too. You think you’re “someone” and then, after a couples bad (or good) decisions you’re someone completely different.
The penalty is in after a few brief moments of the jury talking: GUILTY. It wasn’t even close. I had a terrible lawyer. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not the time for excuses, though.

~

“Ten years,” says the Judge. Cheers fill the room and I’m escorted out into a police car, in cuffs.

~

It’s hard to write in here. I’ve been here ten years, come tomorrow. Everyone else is out going to college and getting jobs. Hell, even Jed went to Italy to work with some architects or something. But I’ve been here. Writing all these thoughts on spare pieces of napkins and, well, I’m on to the wall now. Words cover my cell. The guards think I’m planning some assassination or something. They ask me what I’m writing and all I say is “stuff.”

~

It’s so much different on the outside. So many things have changed. We have electric cars now? And we’re in another war? A black guy is President? How many things did I miss? Nothing changes on the inside: Herb’s always playing cards, 10:22 a.m. to 6:37 p.m., every day; Matt’s lifting weights and listening to some new country song when you think he’d be more into Rap and that kind of shit; Scott’s tattooing people, un-professionally, of course. It’s all the same. All the time…

~

Been out from behind bars for thirty-two years now. Met the girl of my dreams, finished school, got a job, dumped the girl of my dreams for some skank I’d been hooking up with from a nearby high school for the past two months, worked for her dad doing something with cars, broke her heart and her dad came after me with a shovel, moved out to Cali, started a surf shop with some guys off the street, got addicted to coke, went to rehab, met another girl on a run through the park when her dog’s leash tripped me, moved back East to Philly with her, got hitched, moved to Southern ME, started working for a fisherman, retired, had an affair with our house maid, got divorced, started smoking Pot again, met another girl, got re-married, got cheated on, followed by another divorce, then I started writing. Got through most of my life without much of anything or anyone. My only prized possessions are an old acoustic guitar that’s always a little flat, an old 60-gig iPod, and a pair of vintage jeans I bought at a Salvation Army a few years back when I found out my youngest child had Leukemia.

~

I’ve written a few best sellers now. And from time to time, people mention my name in the newspaper. I’m long gone in the Caribbean, though; in a small three-room cottage with shitty Internet service and some illegal immigrant I think I’ve fallen for. People stop by every once in a while, looking for a story or something, I don’t know. It’s like they think I wrote it all down.

title: Life, in a Couple Paragraphs.

question: According to the passage, what incident sets the narrator on the path of drugs?

answer: The narrator has two friends called Jed and Steve. These two friends are into drugs like cannabis and managed to introduce the narrator to it. It seems he got hooked after a few tries and soon moved on to stronger drugs like heroin.

Wow, this is fun. Running around in the woods with my best friends in the world, laughing, giggling, and pretending to be wizards from Harry Potter. I weave and dodge through the trees when I spot Gia coming towards me. I yell an expelliarmus and duck behind a bush. Crawling backwards, I find a pile of leaves and partially cover myself, trying to blend in. Unfortunately, she sees me. She screeches out a Petrificus Totalus and scampers off. I can’t chase her, because she froze me. Man, I’m having fun. Unfortunately, Mason isn’t.

	“Hey Gardner, let’s get out of here,” he rambles as he pulls me out of the leaves. I try to object but he keeps talking. “I can’t believe I agreed to this, it’s so lame and nerdy. Why don’t we go to my house? I’ve got this huge TV and a DVR full of George Lopez.”

	“Mason, what are you doing?” I hear John yell, moments before he hops out from behind a tree about twenty yards away from where we are now. “This is fun!”

	“No, it’s really not,” objects Mason. I groan.

	“It’s fun for us. If you don’t like it, why did you come?”

	“Because I wanted to be with my friends, but I’m sorry. This sucks.”

	“Hey, what are you doing? I froze him!” Gia exclaims as she sprints towards us. “Do you even know the spell to unbind him?”

	“Look, I’m out of here,” Mason says, firmly.

	“How about this. You can leave here if you beat me in a duel,” John suggests.

	“...A duel? A Harry Potter duel?” Mason sounds incredulous. “Fine. Whatever.”

	Gia and I watch as the two idiots get ready. John makes a big show of twirling his “wand” around and drops it. Mason just stands and waits. John is telling Mason the rules when Gia sees that she dropped her wallet behind where Mason is standing. As she is picking up, John yells for the duel to start. He lifts his wand and screams “Avada Kedavra,” an unforgivable curse that kills anyone who it is cast on. A green light shoots out of the twig in his hand, and Mason jumps out of the way in terror. Unfortunately, Gia doesn’t see it coming.

	“What the…?” Is all I can say as I stumble over to where Gia is laying.

	“What happened?” Mason asks, looking concerned.

	“John just like...frickin...shot Gia. I think she’s dead.”

	“John, why would you do that?”

	“What do you mean ‘Why would you do that?’” John asks, incredulous. “I thought that we were just messing around. I swear I didn’t do it on purpose!”

	“Then why did you do it?” Mason asks, accusingly.

	“Look, I didn’t expect you to know any spells, so I figured this would be an easy way to shut you up. I didn’t expect real freaking magic to happen!”

	“Guys,” I say. “Calm down, let’s think about this. We need to figure out what to do with the body. We can’t just leave it.”

	“Yeah we can!” Says John. “I am not going to let anyone find out that I killed somebody!”

	“No one is actually going to believe it was you. I mean, come on. Magic? No one would buy that!”

	“I think we should leave her,” says Mason. “I mean, she was kinda annoying.”

	“What?” I ask, flabbergasted.

	“Yeah. I don’t want to be seen with that corpse. She has on like eighteen bracelets. Totally ratchet.”

	“...Ratchet?”

	“Ratchet. I didn’t even like her that much when she was alive. I always asked her to buy me chicken fingers, and she never, ever would.”

	“You’re going to leave her out here over chicken fingers?” Interjects John. “At least I have a good reason.”

	“No,” I say. “Neither have you have a good reason.” I look down at my deceased friend, and I’m rendered speechless. Her mouth is actually moving. “Oh, my god! Guys, check this out! She’s actually alive!”

	“What?” Cries John as he lifts his wand again. “Avada Kedavra!”

	“What was that for?” I scream, furious. “She wasn’t dead! What was your line of thinking there?”

	“Dead people should stay dead.”

	“He’s right,” adds Mason.

	“Shut up, shut up both of you!” I say, taking control of the situation. “What are we going to do now that we know she’s definitely dead.”

	“I have a cousin in Chicago. This happens all the time there, I’ll ask him for advice.”

	“Exactly,” says Mason. “We’re not that far from the hood. I’m sure we could get some good advice there.”

	“Mason,” I say. “It was a ten minute drive here from the suburbs.”

	“I’m just saying,” Mason says, indignant.

	“Look, this was John’s fault. Because of John I’m going to miss NCIS tonight.”

	“Yeah, John. This is messed up. I have to go to VBS next week and because of you I can’t start my George Lopez re-watch until August.”

	We’re just standing here, totally at a loss for what to do. Then, out of nowhere, it hits me. “Check her pockets!”

	“Why?” Mason asks, obviously not following my train of thought.

	“Her keys! Look, I found them!”

	“All right, George Lopez!”

	“Wait!” John yells out. We look at him, curious that he may have had a change of heart. “How about we all go to my house and have a Call of Duty tournament?”

	“Yeah!” Mason and I call out in unison. Keys in hand, we walk to her car, load up and head out. I feel like this is going to be a good week.

SUNE LINDQVIST (20 March 1887 – 23 March 1976) was a Swedish archaeologist and scholar. He worked at the Swedish History Museum, where he was responsible for the finds from the boat graves at Valsgärde, and later at Uppsala University, where he wrote two major works alongside several hundred other publications.

Early life and education

Sune Lindqvist was born on 20 March 1887 in Eskilstuna, Sweden, to Carl Axel Lindqvist and Eva Mathilda Hermannia Brambeck. He was fatherless from an early age, and was raised with three older siblings by his mother. He studied Nordic languages, geology and mineralogy under Knut Stjerna and Oscar Almgren.

Career

Lindqvist worked at the Swedish History Museum for eighteen years, starting as an artist and researcher. He later became a departmental head, and was responsible for the study of material found in the boat graves at Valsgärde, including their restoration. In 1927 he became a professor of Scandinavian and Comparative Archaeology at Uppsala University, taking over a position vacated by Oscar Almgren two years previously. Almgren was the first person to have held the post, having taken it in 1913, but increasing blindness in his 50s required him to give it up. Lindqvist would in turn teach Almgren's son Bertil Almgren, one of Lindqvist's many students, and in 1965 Bertil Almgren would take over the position.

Personal life

Lindqvist died three days past his birthday, on 23 March 1976.

Publications

In addition to two major works, _Uppsala högar och Ottarshögen_ and _Gotlands Bildsteine_, Lindqvist published more than 200 articles, notes, and reviews between 1909 and 1971.

CHRISTMAS EYE (also known as _seasonal corneal ulcer, Albury-Wodonga syndrome, harvester's eye, or harvester's keratitis_) refers to a poorly understood seasonal epidemic of corneal ulceration which predominantly occurs in a particular region of Australia.[1] [2][3][4][5][6]

Pathogenesis

Circumstantial evidence suggests that beetles in the genus Paederus (Staphylinidae) and other beetles in the genus Orthoperus (Corylophidae) release chemicals, including pederin, that cause painful, but temporary, eye lesions when the beetles accidentally fly into a person's eye. They can also cause severe dermatitis and the so-called 'whiplash' stripe across the skin.[7][8][9]

Diagnosis

Christmas Eye typically presents with a unilateral, irregular desquamation of the cornea with a well-demarcated border. The defect stains brightly with fluorescein. In the very early stages the desquamation may be patchy before progressing to involve up to 80% of the corneal surface.

Treatment

Christmas Eye appears to respond empirically to topical indomethacin[10] or ketorolac.

Epidemiology

Early research suggests that people are more frequently affected during the summer period in south-west New South Wales and north-east Victoria than people elsewhere in Australia.[11] Patients often describe being near a body of water the previous evening and the first cases usually occur when the daytime temperature approaches 30C - typically late November.

[Gustaf Adolf Reuterholm] Baron GUSTAF ADOLF REUTERHOLM (7 July 1756 in Sjundeå, Nyland, Sweden (now Finland) – 27 December 1813 in Schleswig), was a Swedish statesman. He acted as the de facto regent of Sweden during the minor regency of Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden between 1792 and 1796.

Early career

After a brief military career he was appointed Kammarherre to Sophia Magdalena, queen consort of Gustav III of Sweden and subsequently became intimately connected with the king's brother, Charles, then duke of Södermanland. He remained in the background throughout the reign of Gustavus III, whom he constantly opposed, particularly through the clandestine Walhalla-orden which he co-founded in Sveaborg.

He was implicated in the 1789 Conspiracy. In the autumn of 1789, princess Hedvig Elisabeth Charlotte prepared to depose Gustav III and place her husband Duke Charles upon the throne.[1] Her ideal was the Swedish Constitution of 1772, which she saw as a good tool for an enlightened aristocracy, and the war and the Union and Security Act had made her a leading part of the opposition. She cooperated with Prince Frederick Adolf, Duke of Östergötland, and Gustaf Adolf Reuterholm.[2] The plan was to force Charles to act as a symbol of the opposition to the Union and Security Act when the time was right.[3] When the time arrived to make Charles act, however, he refused, which effectively discontinued the coup.[4]

He, along with the other malcontents, was imprisoned by Gustav III in 1789.

Ruler of Sweden

He was abroad at the time of the king's death, but a summons from his friend, now duke regent, speedily recalled him, and in 1793 he was made a member of the Privy Council and one of the “lords of the realm.” At first he seemed inclined to adopt a liberal system, and reintroduced the freedom of the press. He did this solely, however, to reverse the Gustavian system, and persecuted the stalwarts of the late king (e.g. Armfelt, and Toll) with a petty vindictiveness which excited general disgust. In 1794 the discovery of the Armfelt Conspiracy exposed the opposition of the Gustavian Party.

Towards the end of the regency, Reuterholm inclined towards an alliance with Russia on the basis of a marriage between the young king, Gustav IV of Sweden, and the empress Catherine II's granddaughter, Alexandra Pavlovna, an alliance frustrated by the bigotry of the intended groom. At home the Swedish government ended as ultra-reactionary, owing to an insignificant riot in Stockholm which so alarmed Reuterholm that he threatened all printers who printed anything relating to the constitutions of the French Republic or the United States of America with the loss of their privileges. In March 1795 he closed the Swedish Academy because A. G. Silfverstolpe in his inaugural address had ventured to disapprove of the coup d'état of 1789.

In 1796 he was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Expulsion

On the accession of Gustav IV of Sweden on 1 November 1796 Reuterholm was expelled from Stockholm. For the next twelve years he lived abroad under the name of Tempelcreutz. After the revolution of 1809 he returned to Sweden, but was denied all access to Charles XIII, and quit his country for good. He died in Schleswig on 27 December 1813 and was buried in Strängnäs Cathedral in Sweden.

Chop. Chop. Chop. Sunday morning cooking in this tiny prep kitchen. Chop. I wonder what it would feel like to chop through my finger. Chop. Hm. The cute barista is running around, brewing double chocolate mocha chai tea latte frapps and I am just here dicing onions. It’s funny how ambiance is abandoned when it comes to kitchens. The whole tea house is gorgeous, soft lighting, beautiful paintings, and middle eastern furniture all laid out immaculately. All you have to do to realize that is just humans making your food is go past the counter and look at the dirty dishes, burnt pans and sweaty cooks. Despite this, people like seeing their food being made, so they have a window where you can see me. Chopping. Chop. Chop. Chop. People walk into the store; I look. For some reason I can’t look away. My eyes fall upon a porcelain doll of a girl. She has more makeup showing then skin. Attached to her is a leech of a man. Cocky, looks like a dick. For some reason, I can’t stop staring. Looking at them is making me think so much for some reason and I just can’t get back to chopping. The dick looks over at me a few times. They don’t want any fucking tea, so they leave. As they are going out of the door, the dick turns around and sticks his thin-little-middle finger up at me. Chop. I set down my knife and walk outside to join the couple. I don’t really remember what happened, I just went red. Just kidding I punched the dick in the face. He fell hard. I walk back inside to my little shitty kitchen, his girlfriend is screaming and has her fancy cell phone out. I go to my station. Chop. My manager walks over and starts talking at me. Chop. The girl comes in and starts screaming. Chop. I keep dicing onions like I am supposed to. Chop. Everyone is staring, and the whole place is quiet save for the screams of my boss and the girl. Chop. Chop. Fuck. My hands are yanked behind my back and my knife falls to the floor. “You have the right to remain silent…” I can feel the moisture in my ear as the cop grunts my Miranda rights. I am in a police car. Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I should have never gone into the fucking tea shop with her. Fuck. The ground is cold and my face is throbbing. People are staring, I hate it when people stare. Fuck. I have never been hit before in my life. This shit hurts, he hit me right in my eye. Wow. A cop car pulled up, this guy is screwed! Two cops come out, the fat one comes over to patch me up and ask me what happened, the skinny one goes inside to get that freak. I hope he likes prison. Why the fuck was he even staring at me at all.
When I go to hang out with my boys later, they treat me different. I always used to knock em around, but now they keep hitting me. What the fuck.  Is it the black eye? That fucking freak ruined me. I go to my favorite bar and as I walk out I flip off the bartender. He comes out and kicks my ass. When the cops come everyone says I attacked him. When I walk back home from the bar people push me out of the way. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I go out the next morning for a run and I see some losers speeding by on their fixie bikes. I flip them off. They turn around and start coming after me. Fuck. This hurts, I think they broke my arm. I go the hospital. The doctor obviously thinks I am a piece of shit. I start mocking him. He doesn’t react.. I show him my middle finger and tell him I think there is something wrong with it. He doesn’t react. I hit that fucker in the face. He reacts. The cops come. I am in a police car. Fuck.

I get to the jail, sit down and hang my head. What the fuck happened to me, what is going on with my life, I don’t get it. I look over and some other guy is hanging his head too.

I have been in this holding cell for 2 days. Fuck. All I do is sit on this bench and go over and over what happened. The jail is thick with the scent of regret. The heavy metal bars lurch open. Someone walks in. I don’t even look at him.

HEY! It’s the fucker who hit me! I say “why were you even staring at me in the first place man”. He looks up and says, “I thought I recognized you from grade school. Jonah?”. Its Jake. Oh my God.

Jake and Jonah hug in a cold jail cell.

title: My first short story, I would love some feedback.

question: Summarize the plot twist.

answer: Jonah has had a rough go of things and has been in and out of jail. On several occasions, he gets beaten up. During his last jail stint described in this story, one of the guys who hit him is in the same cell. He asks the guy why he was staring at him, and the guy says it's because he recognized him from grade school. The two find out that they knew each other back then, and, despite having been on opposite sides of a violent altercation, they hug in the cell.

question: Summarize the source of tension in the story.

answer: Jonah's life seems to be a series of mishaps and bad decisions-his misfortunate seems to have a domino effect. First, he gets into an altercation over a pretty girl at a tea house. Later, his buddies rough him up in a less playful way than usual. He heads to a bar where the bartender starts stuff with him. The next morning, Jonah flips off some runners who run him down and break his arm. When Jonah goes to the doctor, he views the doctor as being condescending, and ends up punching him.

question: Explain why Jonah reacts to everything with antagonism and, sometimes, violence.

question: What does the story have to say about violence?

answer: Mainly, it says that violence begets violence. At times, we see Jonah's reacting to deliberate acts of violence against him-most of the time, however, he is reacting to something verbal or symbolic that he perceives to be a slight. When he responds with violence, he ends up injured and/or in trouble with the law. Jonah seems to know this, but seems peculiarly beholden to this pattern.

[Josef Vojtěch Hellich, from
_Zlatá Praha_ (1864)] [Saint Ludmila Teaching Saint Wenceslaus in Tetín] JOSEF VOJTĚCH HELLICH (17 April 1807, Choltice - 22 January 1880, Prague) was a Czech painter and archaeologist; known mainly for religious works and historical scenes.

Biography

He attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Prague, where he studied with Joseph Bergler, and the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. This was followed by an extended study and work trip to Italy, Switzerland, France and England. He returned to Prague in 1840 and established a successful studio. With a recommendation from František Palacký, he became involved in the activities of the National Museum; becoming custodian and documentarian for the new archaeological collections.

In the following years, he gathered items for the museum from Kouřim, Žatec, Tábor and České Budějovice; including ornaments from prehistoric burial sites. Then, with the assistance of Professor Jan Erazim Vocel, the works were classified and described. Later, he illustrated Vocel's _O starožitnostech českých a o potřebě chránit je před zkázou_ (Czech Antiquities and the Need to Protect them from Destruction), which became a popular work with Czech Nationalists.

He was also a regular contributor of lithographs to the journal __. Together with his fellow painter, Vilém Kandler and the writers Ferdinand Břetislav Mikovec and , he published _Starožitnosti a památky země České_ (Antiquities and Monuments of the Czech Lands). His religious works include over 290 altarpieces which can be seen throughout the Czech Republic. Many of his paintings were acquired by Archbishop Schwarzenberg and Bishop Jan Valerián Jirsík.

He died of typhoid fever; contracted from drinking well water that had been contaminated by a flood.

The Phantom Pain will be available to launch and load on Steam soon – which you’ll need to do even if you buy a disc copy.

[metal gear online]

Over the weekend, Konami announced that The Phantom Pain would be available to install on Steam from 12.00am EST, September 1.

  MGSV:TPP @steam_games Launch & Load Starts Sept. 1 U.S. 12:00 AM EST/9:00 pm PST Get It Now! http://t.co/SkPiEJV111 pic.twitter.com/ZBSaN1v1wD

  — Konami (@Konami) August 28, 2015

That’s all well and good, but what about players who rely on physical media? One user who has gotten an early copy of the PC disc release of The Phantom Pain is reporting that the game itself isn’t actually on the disc. In fact, all that’s on there is a Steam installer, with the expectation being that anyone who purchases the disc will still be willing to download the full game.

Between this, the erasure of Kojima’s name from the cover and the whole Silent Hills fiasco, a lot of people are expressing frustration with Konami.

It’s worth noting, still, that The Phantom Pain is being celebrated unamimously in reviews. VG247’s Shabana Arif assures us that The Phantom Pain “is unmistakably an Hideo Kojima game, regardless of what the box art omits”.

question: What is The Phantom Pain?

answer: No explicitly answered, but it seems to be a video game.

question: Is the game being released as a physical disc?

answer: There is a physical disc, but the disc only includes a Steam installer.

question: What is Konami?

answer: Not answered.

question: Who is Hideo Kojima?

answer: Not answered explicitly, but they seem to be a video game developer.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The Phantom Pain is being released as a download and as a disc, but the disc only includes a file to download Steam. This, along with other reasons, has frustrated fans and consumers.

HAVAR, or UNS R30005, is an alloy of cobalt, possessing very high mechanical strength. It can be heat-treated. It is highly resistant to corrosion and is non-magnetic. It is biocompatible. It has high fatigue resistance. It is a precipitation hardening superalloy.

Havar is composed of 42.0% (41-44%) of cobalt, 19.5% (19-21%) of chromium, 12.7% (12-14%) of nickel, 2.7% (2.3-3.3%) of tungsten, 2.2% (2-2.8%) of molybdenum, 1.6% (1.35-1.8%) of manganese, 0.2% (0.17-0.23%) of carbon, 0.02-0.08% of beryllium, and balance of iron. Its melting point is about 1480 °C. It will retain three quarters of its room temperature strengths up to 510 °C.[1][2] Its density is 8.3 g/cm³. Its thermal conductivity is 13.0 W/m·K. Its tensile strength is 960-970 MPa and its modulus of elasticity is 200-210 GPa. It can be joined by welding (GMAW and resistance welding, soldering and brazing.

Havar foils of various thickness are used as diaphragms for pressure sensing in process control equipment, biocompatible medical implants, as particle beam windows in nuclear physics, and various other high temperature applications.[3]

Havar foils are frequently used as window material for high-energy proton beams used in production of fluorine-18 from oxygen-18 enriched water.

Havar was originally developed in the late 1940s by Hamilton Watch Company as an alloy for the mainsprings used in watches, and named Dynavar. Later it was used as sensing diaphragms and other uses, under its current name Havar. Its corrosion resistance allows use in stress corrosion resistant springs and diaphragms in oilfield equipment handling sour crude oil. Havar outperforms 316L stainless steel in resistance to pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion in medical implant environment.[4] In cold-rolled and aged form, its yield and tensile strength are higher than of other cobalt-based implant alloys.

In Green death, the Havar alloy does not corrode at all at room temperature, starts corroding rapidly (15 mm/year) at 70 °C, and reaches rate of 56 mm/year at boiling point.

Havar is difficult to machine, as it undergoes rapid work hardening under the cutting tool. The tool should be as sharp as possible and the machine should be rigid, with minimal backlash. Higher power is required than to machine ordinary steels of similar hardness.[5]

MICHAEL L. THURMOND (born 5 January 1953) is the Chief Executive Officer of DeKalb County, Georgia and was a representative in the Georgia Assembly. He is also an attorney, author, and lecturer.

Thurmond served as the interim superintendent of the DeKalb County School District, the third largest district in the state of Georgia from 2013 to 2015. The district serves nearly 99,000 students with over 13,400 employees. Thurmond was the Democratic Party's nominee for United States Senate in 2010. He was also one of the last Democrats to win statewide in Georgia until 2020, when Joe Biden won the presidential election.

Prior to becoming DeKalb's Schools Superintendent, Thurmond was an attorney at Butler Wooten Cheeley & Peak LLP, a nationally known civil trial practice that has four times set the record civil jury verdict in the State of Georgia and also obtained for its client the largest collected judgment in U.S. history.

Early life

Thurmond was raised as a sharecropper's son in Clarke County, Georgia. He graduated _cum laude_ with a B.A. in Philosophy and Religion from Paine College and later earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law.[1] He also completed the Political Executives program at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

Political career

In 1986, he became the first African-American elected to the Georgia General Assembly from Clarke County since Reconstruction. During his legislative tenure, Thurmond authored major legislation that has provided more than $250 million in tax relief to Georgia's senior citizens and working families.

Following his legislative service, he led the state Division of Family and Children's Services and directed Georgia's historic transition from welfare to work. He created the innovative Work First program, which helped over 90,000 welfare-dependent Georgia families move from dependence into the workforce.

In 1997, Thurmond became a distinguished lecturer at the University of Georgia Carl Vinson Institute of Government. The following year in November, he was elected Georgia Labor Commissioner, becoming the first non-incumbent African American to be elected to statewide office in Georgia.

During his three terms as commissioner, the Georgia Labor Department underwent a major transformation in customer service and efficiency. His Georgia Works program has earned national praise and bi-partisan support. President Barack Obama based part of the American Jobs Act after the Georgia Works model. Thurmond's most gratifying accomplishment as a public official was the construction of a $20 million school for young people with disabilities at the historic Roosevelt Institute in Warm Springs, Georgia.

In 2016, Thurmond decided to run for the open DeKalb County C.E.O.'s office being vacated by term-limited incumbent Democrat Burrell Ellis. He won overwhelmingly in the Democratic Primary, and went on to win by a significant margin over his Republican opponent in the November 2016 General Election. Thurmond began his four-year term on January 1, 2017.

He is the recipient of two honorary doctorate degrees from Clark Atlanta University and LaGrange College. Thurmond has also served as a motivational speaker to state school board associations in nine Southern states on issues regarding leadership, diversity, and public education advocacy in the 21st century.

He presently serves on the Board of Curators of the Georgia Historical Society.

Publications

Thurmond's book, _Freedom: Georgia's Antislavery Heritage, 1733-1865,_[2] was awarded the Georgia Historical Society's Lilla Hawes Award.[3] The Georgia Center for the Book listed _Freedom_ on its 2005 list of The 25 Books All Georgians Should Read.[4]

Personal life

He is married to Zola Fletcher Thurmond, and they have one daughter, Mikaya Thurmond.

U.S. Senate campaign

In April 2010, Thurmond announced his intention to challenge incumbent Republican Senator Johnny Isakson.[5] He easily defeated his opponent in the Democratic primary, county employee RJ Hadley, on July 20.[6] He lost the general election to Isakson and was succeeded as Commissioner of Labor by former state representative Mark Butler (U.S. politician), a member of the Republican Party.
