This chapter is full of rich history that intertwines with two other readings: “Souls of Black Folks” and “Surviving Institutions That Weren’t Created for You”. In this paper, I will be discussing three aspects from Manning that help interpret the two readings previously stated. One of the first aspects…

Foraminifera can be an indicator for the carbon cycle The changes in ocean chemistry can impact calcifying organisms in a negative way. Plankton that calcifies are a key player in the marine carbon cycle. Recent studies have been done with a tiny-shelled organism that suggests changes in the global carbon cycle. This is the first study that has been done with high CO2 that shows a combination of shell building problems, physiological stress, and spine repair in foraminifera. For this study,…

As I reached late adolescence I began to force myself to learn, I would read books on buoyancy and the humans ability to float on demand. I factored in every possible outcome such as age vs. height vs. depth. My muscles in this process would not remember what it was being taught.

levees on the Industrial channel that caused devastating flooding to the surrounding Ninth Ward neighbourhood leading to many social implications within the community. The levee failure caused a torrent of water to pour into the neighbourhood with buoyancy forces that caused 125 structures to float onto the roads (Green et al. 2007), with more structures requiring demolition due to damage. It was the Ninth Ward district that also experienced the greatest loss of life due to the failures of the…

The movement created various types of Zionism and different beliefs on how to achieve establishing a Jewish nation…

caught on the inside. I try to duck dive it but the wave rips the board from underneath me and picks me up and throws me around like a washing machine. The ferociousness and power of the wave tears my leg rope in half losing my surfboard and its buoyancy it gave me. I pop up on the other side of the wave and gasp some air. The next wave doubles up but I manage to get underneath the wall of water. The power of it pushes me back a few feet nevertheless I make a dash to get past the next…
