Hemel Hempstead is a town in England.
It is 25 miles north-west of London.
The town is off the M1 motorway, 20 minutes drive from Luton Airport and 40 minutes from London itself.
The town began as an Anglo Saxon village where two river valleys met in the Chiltern Hills.
The local area grew very good grain.
By Tudor times, the village became a market where grain and straw were sold.
The town also had many water mills to grind the grain.
Local people also earned money by plaiting the straw to be made into hats.
From about 1800, the town changed as the Industrial revolution took place.
It is on the shortest route between London and the Birmingham.
As trade between these two cities increased, a canal and a railway were built that passed very close to the town.
Some of its water mills were changed from grinding grain to places where paper was made by machine.
Some of these grew into giant paper making factories.
After the Second World War,  the government in London wanted to build many new homes for people who had had their homes destroyed by bombs in the war.
It decided to build some new towns where houses could be built in an very good environment.
Hemel Hempstead was chosen to be one of these towns.
Many new districts were built during the 1950s and 1960s all around the old town of Hemel Hempstead.
It grew into a middle size town of over 80,000 people.
Hemel Hempstead became world famous for a brief time in 2005 when an oil depot in the town at Buncefield exploded.
It caused a big toxic smoke cloud to cover all the surrounding areas.
Millions of pounds in damage was done, but no one was killed.
A shock wave is when lots of energy comes from a very small spot and shakes the material around it.
The energy makes the material around the spot move very quickly, and very hard.
This is a special type of vibration, and it is very strong.
The shock wave can be so powerful that it can knock things over.
For example, bombs create shock waves.
A shock wave can be destructive because it vibrates the material around the point in an extremely hard and fast wave, which causes other things that the material touches to vibrate too, and even make them explode.
Shock waves make bombs more dangerous and sometimes are the most dangerous part of an explosion.
However, the shock wave moves much faster than the rest of the bomb's energy and fades away quickly.
It is called a shock wave, and not simply a shock, because the force goes up and down, like an ocean wave.
A shock wave can move through any material.
An earthquake is a shockwave traveling through the ground.
Shock waves can also be felt in the water.
A shock wave is affected by the materials it travels through, and different materials have different effects.
A thick material, like water, might help the shock wave travel further, whereas a thin material, like air, would not.
This is similar to the way that sound waves are affected by what they move through, but sound waves and shock waves are not the same.
A sound wave is similar to a shock wave in the way it looks, but the two are not the same.
While a sound wave can be described as the ripples created when you drop a small rock in a bucket of water, a shock wave is faster and not as smooth.
If you were to draw a picture of a perfect sound wave, it would be a smooth line, up and down by the same amount.
If you were to draw a picture of a shock wave, it would be like many big bumps on a road - the line goes up very quickly, but it does not go down as much.
Some of the words people use to talk about sound waves and shock waves are the same, like amplitude or frequency, but this does not mean that they are the same.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a big patch of garbage and debris in the middle of the northern Pacific Ocean.
It is caught in the water currents.
It formed because currents near the center of the Northern Pacific Ocean move around in a kind of circle, which catches and holds floating pieces of plastic.
The "Yellowwood Island" actually has two areas, described as an eastern patch and a western patch, which are separated because of ocean currents.
Scientists estimate that the size of the "plastic island" is approximately equal to the land area of Texas, United States, but it could be as much as twice the size.
Also, it is not really a floating island.
It is more like a soup of plastic pieces floating in the ocean just below the surface.
It is  from California, between Hawaii and Japan.
Many birds, turtles, and other sea animals go to Pacific Islands to lay their eggs and raise their young.
Unfortunately, they eat the smaller pieces of plastic, thinking that they are food swimming in the ocean.
They also get caught in the garbage.
The United Nations Environment Program estimates that the plastic soup causes the death of one million sea birds and 10,000 sea animals every year.
Some micro-invertebrates have also been found to eat tiny pieces of plastic with similar results.
For a long time, people thought the garbage patch was mostly plastic that had been used by ordinary people, like plastic straws and forks.
In 2018, scientists found out that most of the plastic in the patch was lost fishing nets and other fishing tools used on large fishing boats.
Since the plastics are organic compounds, they tend to absorb other organic compounds, such as pesticides.
Scientists have discovered high levels of DDT and other organic compounds in this deadly plastic soup.
The pieces of plastic come from all over the world.
Any country that has a shore or river, where such pieces blow or wash out to sea is a source.
Scientists estimate that the United States and other industrial countries contribute less garbage to the plastic island due to modern garbage disposal; but such countries also produce and sell much of the plastic that becomes garbage for non-industrial countries.
Changing winds and currents often cause parts of this plastic island to break away and send pieces of plastic toward the beaches and shorelines of Pacific Islands and the continents.
It's considered a major problem for tourism, and because of the problems that it causes the island and ocean environments.
In April 2008, Richard Sundance Owen, a building contractor and scuba dive instructor, started the Environmental Cleanup Coalition to solve the problem of the pollution in the North Pacific.
They are working with other groups to find ways to safely remove plastic and organic compounds from the oceans.
Project Kaisei is a project to study and clean up the garbage patch launched in March 2009.
In August 2009 two ships from the project, the RV New Horizon and the Kaisei, went to research the patch and decide the possibility of a commercial scale collection and recycling operation.

Amazon Kindle is a machine for reading electronic books (e-books).
The Kindle is designed by Lab126, a part of the Amazon.com company.
The first Kindles were sold in the United States on November 19, 2007.
Six hardware devices, known as "Kindle", "Kindle 2", "Kindle 3", "Kindle 4", "Kindle Touch", and "Kindle Fire" support this platform.
There are also software versions of Kindle than can be used on smartphones and computers.
The hardware Kindles (except for the Kindle Fire) use an electronic paper display and download books and websites over Amazon Whispernet using the Sprint Nextel EVDO network.
A Wireless network can also be used.
Kindles can be used without a computer, and Whispernet is accessible without any fee.
These devices also provide free internet access to Wikipedia.
Original Kindle
Upon the initial launch of the Kindle, Amazon's Kindle Store had more than 88,000 digital books available for download, with the number of books increasing.
Amazon's first offering of Kindle sold out in five and a half hours and the device remained out of stock until late April 2008.
The Kindle retailed for $399; Amazon subsequently lowered the price to $359.
Amazon does not sell the Kindle outside the United States as Whispernet only works in the U.S. Plans for a launch in the UK and other European countries are being delayed by problems with signing up suitable Wi-Fi operators.
The CDMA technology in the Kindle does not allow for its use in the UK due to the lack of a CDMA network operator in the UK.
A reviewer from CNET expressed concern with the presentation of the device despite its comfortable design.
The picture to the left displays a distinctly beige colored device.
In point of fact, both Kindle versions are a matte bright white with all button labels and text colored gray.
The Kindle 1 is exactly the same color as the Kindle 2 pictured in the upper right-hand corner of this page.
On February 9, 2009, Amazon announced the Kindle 2, which became available for purchase on February 23, 2009 for the price of $359, and lowered on July 8, 2009 for $299.
The new Kindle features improved battery life, 20 percent faster page-refreshing, a text-to-speech option to read the text out loud, and overall thickness reduced from 0.8 to 0.36 inches (9.1 millimetres).
The Kindle 2 has 2 GB of internal memory.
Amazon estimates that the Kindle 2 will hold about 1500 books.
Unlike the original Kindle, Kindle 2 does not have a slot for memory cards.
To promote the new Kindle, author Stephen King has made his new book named "UR" only available through Kindle.
The Kindle 3 comes in 2 models.
A wi-fi and a 3G. The Wi-Fi can only download books over wireless internet.
However the 3G Kindle can download books over Wi-Fi and 3g.

Technical drawing, also known as drafting or draughting, is the act and discipline of making detailed drawings.
These drawings visually communicate how something works or how it is to be made.
Communicating ideas
To make  drawings easier to understand, people use familiar symbols.
They use standard units of measurement, notation systems, visual styles, and page layouts.
These drawing conventions are internationally accepted standards.
Technical drawings are a universal way of communicating complex mechanical concepts.
Technical drawing are very different from the expressive drawing of the visual arts.
Artistic drawings may have many meanings.
Technical drawings are understood to have one intended meaning.
Technical drawings are used to make electronic parts as well as mechanical parts.
They are used in commercial and residential construction.
Roads, bridges, and wastewater systems are just some of the things that need technical drawings.
Almost anything that is manufactured requires technical drawings.
Technicians
A drafter, draftsperson, or draughtsman is a person trained to make technical drawings.
A professional drafter who makes technical drawings is sometimes called a drafting technician.
Professional draftspersons bridge the gap between engineers and manufacturers.
They contribute experience and technical expertise to the design process.
