control rods caused a dramatic power surge as they were inserted into the reactor.” (World Nuclear Association, 2016). As horrifying as the Chernobyl nuclear disaster is, in contrast, it can be compared to many other disasters such as the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster. The Tacoma Bridge disaster was an engineering failure which was most definitely caused by the approval of a flawed design. The light design of the bridge caused it to sway under pressure from high speed winds and was known as the…

Education should not be narrow. It should be in the true spirit of the liberal arts, meaning a never ending search for connections between ideas, subjects, and departments. This sort of learning helps us understand the interconnected nature of the world. Education should never lose track of the real world. How can you learn science or ecology if you never go to a wetland or talk with real scientists? How can you learn theology without thinking about how people live out their faith in…

The two poems that I chose to compare are both written by Emily Dickenson; the first poem is “A Narrow Fellow in the Grass,” and the second is “[The Brain- is wider than the Sky].” These poems were written 4 years apart, the first coming in 1862, and the second was written in 1866. While we read “[The Brain- is wider than the Sky]” for class, we did not read “A Narrow Fellow in the Grass.” These two poems are very different, while at the same time they are very similar; Emily Dickenson has a…

Emily Dickinson: A Narrow Fellow in the Grass A Modernist poem written during the age of Romanticism, Emily Dickinson’s A Narrow Fellow in the Grass displays nature in a rather unique and peculiar fashion. The poem itself also delves into several other topics, such as fear, awe, religion, and sex. Throughout the course of the play, a young boy-the narrator of Dickinson’s poem- meticulously describes the sighting of a slithering snake as an encounter with a “narrow fellow in the grass”. The…

Verrazano Narrows Bridge – 1964 Figure 9 Tacoma Narrows Bridge now known as Verrazano Narrows Bridge During Failure Taken From: (Wikipedia, 2015) Leap 6: Wind The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was opened in 1940 but the design had a flaw. When the bridge deck was subjected to minor winds the deck moved up and downwards and began twisting, the bridge eventually collapsed. Peter Sluszka, a qualified bridge engineer explained that, aerodynamic instability of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge had to do with the…

A series of make shift dams and flumes are in place on the Blackstone River as it heads towards Blackstone Harbour from Crane used to control the log jams and to get the lumber up to Parry Sound. Also the river between Crane and Blackstone already had its first of several dams placed midway on its length. The Conger Lumber Co. operates throughout the area as the century headed towards its end. Other private interest companies such as Rankin Bros. subcontracting with Conger Lumber and later the…

criticism is used to conduct a view on the author or speaker’s motivation in the poem “A Narrow Fellow in the Grass”. Finding disguised psychological traits such as fear, love, or hate. Also, finding out specific developmental concepts that help to explain the behavior’s that are portrayed by the speaker or author in this poem. Now, to find out if any type of psychological characteristic may connect to “A Narrow Fellow in the Grass” it will be analyzed line by line to find any type of…

But it shocked the engineering community across America. This can coincide with the Ashtabula train disaster even though the Ashtabula disaster was 100 times more deadly than the Tacoma narrows bridge collapse. They both fell due to economic bargaining and distasteful engineering work. The support beams from the Ashtabula horror were speculated to have air pockets from cheap unrefined steel. Which eventually fell when the bridge could no…

In the following short essay, I define and analyze reflective equilibrium, generally, as well as narrow and wide reflective equilibrium, specifically. I then defend reflective equilibrium from two potential critiques in an attempt to prove that it is a proper ethical method. In general, reflective equilibrium is a method in which an individual works back and forth among their considered judgements, principles, and theoretical considerations about broad or specific cases, revising these…

self-determination and land. The Canadian government has recently come to recognize past injustices and abuses against Aboriginal people. However, there is still a long way to go in reconciling with Aboriginal people. This is evident in the recent the Grassy Narrows First Nation v. Ontario [2014] 2 S.C.R case as the verdict made by the Supreme Court…
