Title Mark Dowie’s opinion on this concept is that no profit is worth more than a human life. In his article he talks in depth about Ford Motor companies and a car they designed and produced in the seventies, the Pinto. The Pinto was a very rushed project that focused more on making a profit than the quality and safety of the vehicle. The entire tone of the article casts a harsh judgmental light on the decisions made during that project. He makes it very obvious that he opposes Ford decisions…
Figure 1 below illustrates the predicted 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…
Introduction Near-field communication (NFC) is a set of protocols that allow communication between two electronic devices. Most commonly this technology is used for communication between portable devices like smartphones. Even though it is a contact less system of communication, it requires that the devices are within 4 cm or 1.57-inch distance from each other (Carter & Faulkner, 2015). Basically, this technology relies on creating a low speed connection between the devices which has a very…
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,…
Move and Act As If someone is tracking you while in the Woods This is a Survival Habit That Anyone Can and Should Develop Camouflage, also called cryptic coloration, is a defense or tactic that animals and humans use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings. Camouflage is used to disguise location, identity, and movement. Crypsis is simply blending into your surroundings to avoid detection and most humans would use cryptic coloration. In other words, mimic 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.…
The basic concept of tracking is” Assigning students through instructional groups on basis of ability.” (Hallinan 188). Tracking is a very controversial topic concerning our education system today. Partly because as a country tracking and how it is implemented is determined at a local level. The initial reasoning behind tracking was to facilitate instruction and increase learning by tailoring teacher’s instructions to the level of their student’s ability, which should lead to higher academic…
Since multitasking is here to stay, there are a couple suggestions on how to be able to manage multitasking and use of technology. One of the ways is to work on a single task before moving on. The reason being, when we are assigned a task, the prefrontal cortex of the brain takes control and assigns different parts of the brain to handle them, (Shao & Shao, 2012,p.77). By being focused on one, we ensure the fact that task will get completed. Think of a To Do List. How many times did it seem…
In the early 80s, the development of positron emission tomography gave the neural sciences the ability to produce 3D images of functional processes and magnetic resonance imaging provided an alternative to CT and X-ray imaging without the radiation exposure. Lastly, the domination that Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging has developed in the field of brain mapping came about in the 90s. As mentioned in the scientific literature, neuroimaging data can help map the connection of a specific…
Pain and Unjust Mornings. I wonder how many people enjoy waking up every morning to do the exact or almost the exact same thing over and over again. Wake up, brush your teeth, take a shower, do your daily chorus, and spend time with your family.
