Answer to Question 1

In a workable mix, all the aggregates are clean, all Portland cement is mixed with water to form a
cement paste and no dry powder is present, every particle of aggregate is covered with cement paste,
aggregates are distributed evenly throughout the mix, no more than the recommended amount of water
is added, no lumps are present, the mixture has uniform color and consistency, and lastly, the mixture
can be mixed, moved, and placed with a shovel or spade.



Answer to Question 2

Ratio is the proportion of cement to fine and coarse aggregate. The ratio is expressed as a three-digit
number called a mix.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
