The US Geological Survey tested the performance and effectiveness of the Basins in 1969. Their study analyzed data gathered from three basins located in both Nassau and Suffolk county. All three basins had different shapes and drainage area sizes in order to determine an average performance from all the systems. To determine the effectiveness, the basins were analyzed in three different areas: Precipitation-Inflow relation, Runoff Hydrograph, and Rates of Filtration. The three basins analyzed…
In the Scarlet Letter Hester Prynne was convicted of adultery and had to wear an A on her chest that would mark her as an adulterer for the rest of her life. My project will be based on this subject but a bit more on the positive and brighter side. I chose four different characteristics and likings that started with the letter m to describe myself. These four attributes I picked are marine life, mindful, music, and meticulous. The great open ocean or “big blue” has always intrigued me since I…
The Golden Experience in Florida Key1 In 2005 Florida was hit with a category 5 hurricane named Wilma. Wilma ripped through Florida causing all the Navy bases in Key West to need constructing. A company called BMS Cat went to all the neighborhoods in Houston to build a Hurricane Disaster team in which I became a part of. This experience was very eventful including the weather, attractions, and food/beverage. If you are looking for a great vacation, please travel to Key West and enjoy the retreat…
The Clear Quartz is the mixture of silicon and two oxygen molecules (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), it is also the precursor of over 500 stones as they start as the clear quartz and gain their color with inclusions and mineral deposits that are added while forming, these minerals are designated as “silicates.” The Clear Quartz crystal can occur in two different ways, one being the hexagonal crystals in masses and druses, and the other being dense fibrous material that has no visible crystals.…
Stabilize The Soil Before Building Your Parking Lot Sometimes, it's not possible to begin construction work until the soil has been stabilized. In order to put down a road or parking lot, the soil has to be compacted to hold the weight of the pavement without shifting. If you need to add a new parking lot but the soil isn't suitable because it is sandy, then soil stabilization might be able to help. Here's an overview of how it works. Stabilization Leaves The Soil In Place An alternative to…
Costal Management Bondi Beach Coastal Processes – Costal Processes are the variety of ways that landforms are made and shaped. The Costal Process come under two different sections, Erosion and Accretion, Erosion is “the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents” and Accretion is “growth or increase by the gradual accumulation of additional layers or matter”. Erosion comes in many forms but the 5 main forms of Erosion regarding to Costal Process are: 1.…
The crashing of the waves and the white sand are some of our favorite things about visiting the beach. Particularly this beach with its rich emerald colored water, extremely white sand, and the eroded rocks on the shoreline. The holes in the sand made by the sandpipers make the beach very unique. This beach is also home to the Blue Angels tactical air squadron. It’s also a place where history resides. Pensacola Beach is one of the best beaches I have ever visited. Pensacola beach has always…
them that stuck with me were the children running around, playing, and trying their best to build a sand castle of their own and my daughter Lindsey, having a blast eating the sand. She must have thought that the pile of sand were sugar. As I reminisce of that perfect summer day at the beach, I remember my oldest daughter Trisha and her cousins making their own kiddie pool by digging out the sand and pouring water in it. My fiancé and some of his family members enjoyed waves as it crashed into…
The road to Marrakesh The night before their departure from Anfa, Antonio lay on the creaking bed, staring at the ceiling of his room in the house in the Alt Baha.

He missed Carolina more than anyone else, including Francisca, who still badly wanted to marry him. He liked her but remained unsure of a future with the woman. He wondered whether Carolina had sent…
I.a. Background Information The data in this report were based on the practicals in the laboratory. The data were used to identify and classify soils for engineering applications. The data were tabulated using Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) method, which is non-laboratory test and 2 classification of soils based on laboratory test. The two laboratory test classify soil methods are Classification of soil based on particular size distribution and Classify soil based on Atterberg Limits…
