Container ship

Three of these categories are: high value cargo, perishable cargo, and hazardous materials. When an airline accepts this special cargo for transport, it must provide special equipment to handle the cargo, specialized warehouses to store it or trans-ship it, and sometimes specially configured aircraft to transport it. There are also international and national regulations that airlines must follow in order to transport this special cargo from one location to another. High Value Cargo High value…

The path runs along a canal on one side, a ditch, train tracks and beyond that farmland on the other. As I steadily pedal along, I’m out run by massive cargo ships named Libra and Coby, carrying cars, boats and shipping containers filled with goods. I finally arrive at the farm and head straight through the market towards the cheese shop. I’m greeted by a familiar face, Max, the Kaasmeester (cheese master) for Lindenhoff and his curly haired…

The philosopher Albert Camus paints and bleak picture of the human existence, saying that our lives have no meaning and are, as a consequence absurd, because all our efforts are futile and hopeless. However, if we can accept that choice is intrinsic to a thinking being, then we can admit to ourselves that everything we do, no matter how insignificant, possesses some meaning and it gives our existence purpose. There are two certainties in life deduced by the thinking of Rene Descartes; one is…

Throughout global history, the areas of greatest contest have been based on dry land. As economic, military, and territorial goals have changed, disputed areas have too, to the South China Sea. The Sea provides access to important natural resources and a strategically important naval position, two crucial possessions for any country trying to expand or maintain its power. That being said, the local powers like China, have interests in the area, as well as the United States. Territorial ambiguity…

Marine debris can degrade marine habitats, endanger marine and coastal wildlife and pose threats to human health and safely. Scientists and explorers believe that the best way to accrue the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is to limit or eliminate the use of disposable plastics and increase the use of biodegradable resources in human’s everyday life. Since the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is so far from any country’s coastline, no nation takes the responsibility or provides the funding to clean it up…

accurately when we actually administer the procedure. For our project, we are exploring the idea of the formation of rust and how the lack of or extra variables could affect the chemical corrosion. To experiment on this topic, we will be taking 4 small containers and set them up with different variables. The first jar would become our control group, containing just the water and oxygen. The second jar would contain no water, while the third…

along with the British. They want to help us just as much as we are willing to help them. The sinking of the Lusitania was just as much of a hit on them as it was for us. The daily reminder that we are fighting for the 126 Americans that died on that ship keep me going. When I look across, out into no-man’s land through the layers of barbed wire and ground mines and see the faces and guns of the Germany, hatred fills my heart. Knowing they want to hurt us and our allies is a weird concept. The…

To achieve this goal, the British Parliament passed a series of acts designed to pay the debt with colonial assistance. The American colonists were not happy with such tight control. The first act passed by the British Parliament on April…
