Falling leaves

Prepare a coloured flame composition. Sandwich it with several sheets 

When the bundles are charged into a shell and displayed in the sky, the leaves fall burning, like the leaves of trees falling down in autumn. Japanese falling leaves are not as good as the name suggests due to the short duration and poor colour of the fire. An improvement is required.

Every science has a predilection for singularities, for phenomena which are not buried in the ceaseless stream of day-to-day routine, but stand distinctly out. Physicists addressed the motion of heavenly bodies long before they turned to falling leaves or bubbles of foam or the mechanics of human locomotion, and economists dealt with the impact of monetary devaluation upon national wealth centuries before they discovered the continuous trading of services and goods that pervades the humblest household. One reason is, of course, that a phenomenon which stands out is likely to be fairly isolated from its environment, and therefore easier to analyse. There are far fewer forces acting on a planet than on a knee-cap.

It is well known that reactions take place at different rates. Some reactions occur in an instant, while others can be measured in seconds, minutes, and hours. The explosive combustion of gasoline in the cylinder of a car occurs in a fraction of a second. Reactions used to develop film take place over seconds to minutes. Chemical reactions responsible for changing the color of fall leaves take days to weeks, and the oxidation of metals takes place over years. Whenever reactions occur, chemical kinetics play a...

None of it was mine. Nobody owns anything. Bought sold given taken, everything passes. The journey of a fifty dollar note from the mint to the flame of a reckless gesture years later. Falling leaves, falling years. 

All these actions involve the use, misuse, or manipulation of lipids. Steroids, prostaglandins, fats, oil, waxes, terpenes, and even the colorful carotenes in the falling leaves are all lipids. In our study of organic chemistry, we have usually classified compounds according to their functional groups. Lipids, however, are classified by their solubility Lipids are substances that can be extracted from cells and tissues by nonpolar organic solvents. 

In a small mortar grind 2 g of green or brightly colored fall leaves (don t use ivy or waxy leaves) with 10 mL of ethanol, pour off the ethanol, which serves to break up and dehydrate the plant cells, and grind the leaves successively with three 1-mL portions of dichloromethane that are decanted or withdrawn with a Pasteur pipette and placed in a test tube. The pigments of interest cU e extracted by the dichloromethane. Alternatively, place 0.5 g of carrot paste (baby food) or tomato paste in a test tube, stir and shake the paste with 3 mL of ethanol until the paste has a somewhat dry or fluffy appecu-ance, remove the ethanol, and extract the dehydrated paste with three 1-mL portions of dichloromethane. Stir and shake the plant material with the solvent in order to extract as much of the pigments as possible.

Hr Falling for flowers and leaves. Spread apart the leaves of small purple and green cabbages, and plunge stems of flowers into the centers. Or invert various sizes of bowls, drape them with ivy, fall leaves, or bunches of grapes, and place pomegranates or squash on top. 

Miners were trapped behind the fire because MSHA bad approved a two-entry mining system (instead of the usual three-entry. system). One of the two entries had been blocked by a previous rr>of fall, leaving miners with no alternative means of escape (Huntley et. al, 1992).
