The Panama Canal is planning on being widened since its completion. Since there are virtually enormous shipments coming from Asia, there is an uncontested use of area needed for the Panama Canal. This work in progress is projected to be completed this year in 2015. So what will that do for the west coast ports? It will cause the Gulf Coast to gain jobs and seek local and federal investments. With the incidents such as Katrina, and the major oil spill, the Gulf coast could use some type of…

The first of the four required sections that I read was titled, “Making the Dirt Fly”. This particular section outlined a few of the many obstacles that engineers and laborers faced throughout their endeavor to make way for the Panama Canal. Torrents of rain, mudslides, and the terrain’s apparent resistance of such alterations engulfed equipment and thwarted months worth of progress. Despite these naturally occurring interferences, American equipment was fundamental to this astonishing…

The identification of dioxins made the inhabitant extremely panic (Philips et al., 2007)…

My team was leading the game by one point. Knowing that there was nothing the opposite team can do, we started to have an early celebrate for entering the finals. To my surprise, our opponents started a counter attack, charging to our ring at full speed! With only less than six seconds, one of them…
