Sent 3: Thermal conductors are materials that are good conductors of heat.
Sent 4: Thermal insulators are materials that are poor conductors of heat.
Sent 5: Both conductors and insulators have important uses.
Sent 6: Convection is the transfer of thermal energy.
Sent 7: This occurs as particles move within a fluid.
Sent 8: The fluid may be a liquid or a gas.
Sent 9: The particles within the fluid transfer energy by moving from warmer to cooler areas.
Sent 10: They move in loops.
Sent 11: These loops are called convection currents.
Sent 12: Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy by waves.
Sent 13: These waves can travel through empty space.
Sent 14: When the waves reach objects, the heat is transferred to the objects.
Sent 15: Radiation is how the Sun warms the Earths surface.

Sent 4: Although favouring greater Algerian autonomy or even federation, though not full-scale independence, he believed that the pieds-noirs and Arabs could co-exist.

Sent 14: It was a critical success as well as an artistic and technical tour de force: 33 actors, 4 hours long, 7 sets, 24 scenes.
Sent 15: The walls could move sideways to reduce the size of each depicted location and the whole stage rotated to allow for immediate set transformations.
Sent 16: Camus put the painter and set decorator Mayo, who had already illustrated several of Camus' novels (The Stranger - 1948 Ed.), in charge of the demanding task of designing these multiple and complex theater sets.
