route of the track as identified during the least cost paths analysis. The four parts of the route are shown: Punakiki to the ventilation shaft; shaft to the mine portal (lookout point); portal to the amenities area; and the ventilation shaft to Blackball. The results clearly illustrate it is possible to use cost paths modelling to identify a track. However, further assessment will be necessary around the aesthetic value of the track, to assess whether it is in the ‘best location’. The track…
Ezekiel Elliott, a natural athlete born in an athletic family, but now could be considered the best running back in the NFL, leading the NFL in most yards per carry after contact. Thanks to his offensive line, Zeke is just pure talent on the football field, if you ask any running back, fullback, quarterback, or anybody behind the offensive line before a play, they would tell you that the play would not ever succeed without those lineman protecting them. Zeke admits that that statement is true,…
science, as well as, an art form. We will not delve too much more into the actual art of camouflage, but instead attempt to get you in the right frame of mind, to get you to think about your actions and how they might make it easier for someone to track and find you, and camouflage does play an important role in avoiding detection. What we want to focus on in this article is your mindset, and how you can develop possibly life-saving tactics before you find yourself being pursued through the…
Talking Star Jones, Financial Mistakes and Lessons Learned It sounds funny to say that Star Jones is trying to "keep up with the Joneses". The lawyer, talk show host, and corporate president didn't find it too amusing when she was in the midst of the rat race, though. According to Black Enterprise, Jones owed over $75,000 in student loans and had maxed out her credit cards by the time she finished law school. Sadly, the cards had been used to pay for more than school supplies and necessities.…
solutions. The foundation of tracking has some positive points, but the way that tracking is implemented throughout schools needs retuning. First, schools need to put the precedence on all tracks, not just the lowest or the highest. So, all tracks can succeed and not just a few. Tracking often works for the higher tracks, because they have teachers whom are adamant about the subject they’re teaching, and have high expectations for students. While lower tracked students often are given low…
thousands of children who are classified based on race and income regardless of intellectual potential. This results in children being judged from an early age based on biased tests of intelligence and potential, who are then placed into low tier tracks that negatively effect their future intellectual development. Here the argument exists that because of the overwhelming lack of oversight into the discrimination stemming from tracking is increasingly affecting a rapidly growing segment of our…
The sun had secreted behind piles of looming clouds, while droplets of water dispensed from the sky. The track bore a vast expanse of puddles, and runners plunged their way through them. I was sitting in the dewy grass underneath the canopy of our tent. Rain trickled down the stadium steps as I heard the booming announcer eagerly bellow, “Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 2016 State Track and Field Meet.” My heart began to beat like a hammer pounding upon a solid bed of concrete. However, I…
time to gain more troops, the 39th Battalion with the support now of 7th division and the AIF, they were able to stop Japan from advancing any further. The Kokoda Track was deciding whether Japan had power of New Guinea and this prove hard to keep in possession of the people in New Guinea. The track itself was hard on foot, with the track being narrow and steep. You can only travel single file and couldn't carry any artillery with them, only weapons that could be carried. This made sure this…
The enclosed annotated bibliography represents recent research on the topic of safety in auto racing. I began my research by asking ‘Is NASCAR taking proactive measures to keep its drivers, crew members and fans safe while maintaining its entertainment value?’ In my paper, I will argue yes, NASCAR takes safety seriously while still maintaining fair and entertaining competition. Although throughout its history safety was overlooked, the current state of operation is dedicated to research and…
Question 1 Indy Racing League IRL, an open wheel racing automobile racing series formed due to the split between Indy Car and CART, a sanctioning body of open wheel auto racing. The split was due to many conflicts between both the bodies out of which the main conflict is widely believed to be the Indian Polis 500, the most popular racing event owned by Tony George of Indy Racing League.
