Does anyone know why canola oil was modified?
need it for school :) thanksGenetically Engineered Foods:Canola oil?
It's not the actual oil that was modified, it was the rapeseed plant from which canola oil is made that was modified.
Plants are genetically modified so that they are more productive, disease resistant and possibly drought tolerant. There are lots of qualities and characteristics that plant breeders can select for, and reinforce in successive generations of plants.
In the case of the rapeseed plant, it was modified in the early '90's to be herbicide resistant. This allows farmers to liberally spray their fields with chemicals that are harmful to weeds without killing off their crop of canola oil-producing rapeseed.
There was a large court case a few years ago with the Monsanto corporation regarding their ';Round Up'; ready rapeseed strain that had invaded a neighboring farm -- it was settled for lots of money.
I do recommend looking for sources other than the Wikipedia though.

Do I really need an engine oil change every three thousand mi.? Honda engineers do not say so.?
Are we being told the truth about oil changes for the auto?Do I really need an engine oil change every three thousand mi.? Honda engineers do not say so.?
Mine leaks out before you have to change it as well, but with my last car I used a good synthetic or blended oil and a Fram oil filter that stated it was a long-life filter and didn't need to be changed every 3000 miles and did fine (totaled in a wreck, not engine problems is why I don't have it anymore). How about if it leaks out before 3000 miles, do you still have to change the filter? lolDo I really need an engine oil change every three thousand mi.? Honda engineers do not say so.?
You're supose to CHANGE the oil? I just keep adding to it as it leaks out.
I was told by my mechanic that it could go over that point depending on the type of driving that you do. Driving only in town, where you have to start and stop all the time is rougher on the engine than all highway driving so it would break down the oil faster and then yes you need to change it more. So depending on how you drive, and what year your car is, plus the type or brand of oil used will all have an effect on this. But they also told me not to ever go over 5000 on it. But that was for only highway driving. You should find a mechanic that you really trust and ask them what their opinion is.
Yes. It is crucial to gas mileage.It also helps reduce problems, creates a cleaner exhaust, and it is crucial to your eco-system, since it keeps air cleaner
It depends on how long you want your engine to last. Do you NEED to change it every 3000 miles, no. Should you? That's up to you.
I change mine every 3500 mi and have never had an engine problem. Synthetic oil can be changed every 10,000 mi.
if you use a good oil you can go a little longer,,but you need to use a good oil,,like a synthetic oil,,and you can go about 5 thousand,,but oil changes are important to the life of your vehicle,,if your rich,and don't Care ,,then run it till it gets 20 thousand on a oil change maybe then you,will need a new motor,,this is the difference between changing it,,or not,,hope this help,s.
It's best to change the oil in your car at 3,000 miles because most engines have alluminum parts that wear out faster than stanless steel parts the newer the car is the more alluminum is used to build the car the older cars have iron and steel engine parts that's why back 25 years ago the milage suggested to change oil was 7,500!
that depends on your driving habits. here is my belief, if you allow your car to come up to normal operating temperatures and under normal driving conditons you can go to a comfy 7500 miles. if you get stuck in long deration traffic then 3000 is a better idea. if you do alot of highway driving 7500 is a safe choice. its better oil now then back in the 70's and 80's and damn if we just added oil, changed the filter every now and then. once again my belief and your driving habits. switch to a true synthetic oil and you change the filter every 5000 and top of then change the oil about every 50,000 but the expense of the synthetic oil my not justify it and you have to have at least 30,000 before you can run true syntheticpaper mask

Hi. I'm considering marrying an engineer for an oil company. What would I be letting myself in for?
Well, its like what it says above, except that he's actually a couple of interviews away from being one. I just want to know what that life is like. He says that the companies told him that they are very considerate about letting employees stay fixed when they have families, but others I've spoken to say this just isn't what happens. Also, they said that what would happen would be him going out to the oil rigs for 1 or 2 weeks, and coming back for 1 or 2 etc. What's this like, both before and after kids?Hi. I'm considering marrying an engineer for an oil company. What would I be letting myself in for?
I am married to a rig truck driver and my two grown sons are drillers. They spend weeks at a time on the road working on rig sites. It is just like being married to anyone who is employed at a job where they have to travel alot. Whether they are salesmen, long haul truck drivers or military people the time away doesn't make things easy. As the person who is at home you have to take alot of the responsibility for the maintaince of the home and keeping yourself occupied on yourself. Trust some times can be a big issue. Riggers are a different type of people too. It can be lot rougher of a life style out there. Guys tend to harden up mentally when they aren't in the presence of their spouses much. IT takes them a while to come down from the mind set they get into out there when they come home. Email me if you want to talk about this more......Hi. I'm considering marrying an engineer for an oil company. What would I be letting myself in for?
Yeah, I understand that they go away quite a lot. Some stay on the rig for a couple of weeks and back home for a couple of weeks as you said.
I don'k know if having a family makes any difference.
Good luck.xx
when hillary clinton is president everybody will be switching over to battery powered cars and so your husband will be out of a job.
Do you love this man? I am getting the impression that you do not. Just a word of advice, do not marry if you do not love him. Life will be miserable.
HI THERE
DO NOT KNOW IF ANYONE IN YAHOO HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT, BUT I just think you should research about couples in oil companies get some feedback. I think people get married for love are you in love?
If so would it matter how you both spend your future ?
talk it out the both of you think and react after you come to some conclusion .
be well be safe god bless
Lonely days and lonely nights.
he's gonna be away for long periods of time then he will seeing women in some of these areas because he'll be stressed and ur not there, he'll have all the money he needs. but some guys aren't like that, so it can work for some people.
it is true..
they leave for weeks .. and sometimes months at a time
but who cares if u love him???
what are u about???
all engineers.. are a different breed.. yes..
I didn't believe it until I was married to one for 12 yrs.. and I couldn't believe it..
I hope u have been with him 2 or 3 years.. and really no him..
think twice about this???
not just the job but the person.... ?
good luck..
lots of gas and oil...hahaha
Dunno.
What's he like - regardless of what he does?
Engineers can be very stoic, conservative and if you don't keep him laughing very serious otherwise he could provide an excellent life. As far as the gas and oil industry goes you could move frequently or get sent to the far reaches of the earth unless he excells and gets an executive position, of course that will take some work.
MONEY !!!! ENGINEERS MAKE BIG BUCKS.....YOU AINT EVEN MARRIED YET AND YOUR WORRIED ABOUT HIM WORKING!
stability and money
If you are basing yhour marriage to some one on their job, you should just do him the favor of leaving him so he can find someone who really loves him, not his income.
lots of gass for your car
Long hours and long trips away, but then long breaks at home! if you are independent and can take care of things at home while he's away, and if you are strong as a couple, it can be a lot of fun! (Believe me, a lot of married couples can use a break now and then. You just drive each other crazy after a while!)

Oil and gas engineer?
how much would one be paid is they are a oil and gas engineer , would they be up around the same money as a mining engineer , would there be lots of chances for jobs and travelOil and gas engineer?
As a petroleum engineer you could expect to make anywhere around $66,970 to $111,910 depending where you work. As a Mining engineer you could expect to make somewhere from $56,420 to $88,080 depending on where you live. Please take into account that these all averages and it is possible to make a lot more or a bit less than what I have listed. Assuming that you live in the US, you would probably travel about the same as you would if you were to pursue a mining degree. As for jobs it would depend on how well you did in school, your experience, ect. Although you have to take into account that you would probably need to get some advanced degrees for either subject to be making the big bucks and traveling a lot. In fact my friend's dad has a PhD in Petroleum engineering and 3 other subjects and he travels a lot and is pretty well off.Oil and gas engineer?
I am a low level engineer on the North Slope in Alaska.
Level IIII civil engineer and I make about 80,000 a year.

The proess to make oil is very simple so why are engineers unable to do this simple task?
The energy has to come from somewhere.The proess to make oil is very simple so why are engineers unable to do this simple task?
Is it ? Would you please enlighten us Scientists and Engineers about this simple task which took Mother Nature 100 Million years ?The proess to make oil is very simple so why are engineers unable to do this simple task?
Im sure they are working on it. It has probably been done already, the problem is the cost. It costs more to make it than it does to pump and refine the already made crude.
The cost of the process is definitely coming down, and for certain grades is already competitive with pumped petroleum, at least at the $70 per barrel level. The biggest disadvantage is that artificially made oils just don't offer the range of functions that natural petroleum does-fuel, plastic feedstock and so on, For further info, I'm copying the answer to your previously, related question:
Actually, this is a very good question. I've read several times about a pilot plant operation that renders organic waste into combustible oils and ash. The pilot plant was set up to use the many tons of turkey waste that had been going to a landfill every day. The process is a high temperature, high pressure reduction of the waste, with less than 25% of the recovered oils being used as process heat and for electricity generation. In other words, a self sustaining process, with a high oil yield and a huge volume reduction in landfill able waste. The last article I read was about a year ago, so I don't know if the process has progressed beyond the pilot plant stage or whether significant difficulties were encountered.
The only source I'm sure of is Popular Science, But I think I read about it in Scientific American as well
