States of Aggregation
Solid, Liquid, Gaseous
It is winter. Snow and ice transform the landscape into a fairy tale scenery. At sub-zero temperatures, ice crystals form on branches and other objects.
The snow cover is not always uniform but sometimes shows varied structures of snow and ice crystals as well.
Snow is frozen rain, that is, precipitation falling from the clouds. Clouds, in turn, consist of gaseous water vapour which transforms into precipitation in certain conditions.
Where the sun shines and temperatures rise again, snow and ice begin to melt. Thaw sets in, and snow and ice change into water again. But snow and ice can also exist simultaneously.
Even at high minus temperatures, streams and rivers still carry water. On their banks, exciting ice formations can develop as a result.
Stagnant waters, such as lakes and ponds, however, tend to freeze because the water in them hardly moves.
The solid, liquid and gaseous states are the three classic aggregate states. We encounter the interplay between water vapour, liquid water and ice in many situations.
Complex physical processes lie behind it. Let us take a closer look at them now.

Blogging
The weblog or blog, for short, as a medium is not much older than this century. Blogs came into being in the World Wide Web as ’messages from below’, as web pages from web creators who wanted to share their view of the world with the world. They are short notes, long texts, pictures, videos, which are posted loosely and at random intervals to the world for an undefined public.
Racism
Do you perhaps know that?
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
