The Discovery Of The Delta Mariner

The reading that I chose for this assignment is from Chapter Six in the required book for class “The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History”. The chapter title is “The Sea Around Us” where the primary concentration of the chapter was the consequences that humans have on the planet with the focus on ocean acidification. This happens from the carbon dioxide we pump into the air and it slowly seeps back down into the oceans and slowly increases the PH level thus causing the ocean to be more acidic. In about one hundred years do you believe that, oysters, mussels, and coral reefs survive?

In chapter 2, The Lost Mariner, Oliver Sacks had a patient named Jimmie G, who was a World War II veteran. He knew his name, ,hometown, and birthdate. He could tell Sacks about his early life and how he was serving in World War II. Jimmie G. suffered from Korsakov’s Syndrome, a rare condition, often brought on by alcohol, which failing the parts of the brain associated with memory. Sacks found a doctor’s report from 1971, pointed out that Jimmie was suffering from brain disease due to alcohol.

It is stunning how without the use of a visual aid, the music shapes such vivid and live imagery, images of his childhood and cars enhance a lot of Frank Ocean's storytelling as he doesn't use cars in the typical Pop/Hip hop way. Instead his cars express a sense of vulnerability and loneliness. He also uses them as method to tell his own stories. Frank Ocean wouldn't be considered a typical superhero, but to me he is one. People think of Frank as this really mysterious and hidden from the world person because of his almost non existent social media presence, besides the fact that he has a Tumblr account, but the reason I feel a closer emotional understanding of his work than most other artists is because of his own personal depth. Frank disappeared

“The Butterfly Effect- (n.) the phenomenon whereby a minute localized change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere.” In other words, one flap of a wing can cause a hurricane. In “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” a butterfly effect appears to coincide with the killing of the Albatross. The act of the Mariner killing the Albatross results in 200 of his shipmates deaths. At first glance this is seen to be unbalanced. The death of 200 people for one bird?

The report debates the Tacoma narrows bridge failure and the different theories of how it came about, using information about what type of bridge it is and the forces acting on it before and during the collapse. It also discusses ways in which the failure could have been avoided, from changes in the design to modifications to the bridge after its construction.

President Obama established a national marine memorial off the coast of New England. The new memorial, which is about the size of Connecticut, houses geological and ecological treasures. Under the surface of this protected ocean rest canyons and extinct volcanoes. Rare fish, coral, whales, and turtles count themselves among the animals that live in the memorial. Critics cite the possible harm the memorial will cause to the fishing industry.

Annotated Bibliography Is it true SeaWorld is responsible for the deaths of dozens of Orcas in order to make money, or is a simple misunderstood tragedy?

To begin with, if I was currently an advocate for the environment and animals I would first focus on the Orcas, or killer whales, at theme parks, specifically Sea World. First of all, Sea World is inhumane. Five of the Orcas currently at sea world were “whale-napped” from the oceans they called home. For example, Tilikum, one of the most know whales in the Sea World franchise, is now thirty-two years old. He was captured at the age of two by, which means he has been in captivity for thirty years. And, before anyone says Tilikum was injured so they “rescued” him I want to say that it is fact that Tilikum was not injured. He was taken from his family and confined to a tiny tank just so people could make a hefty profit. Also, if the Orcas are

The documentary Alien of the Deep Sea presented us with six different experiments aimed at studying different aspects of octopuses' intelligence. I will focus on just one of those experiments and attempt to apply Jackendoff's First Fundamental Argument which argues that a language user's mind can be viewed as an internal computational system containing unconscious set of rules.

While the investigation into the Forrestal mishap did not attribute faults with ordnance handling, it was critical in aspects of damage control and flight deck fire training. Specifically, the Judge Advocate General Investigation found that the “damage control and firefighting equipment carried aboard the Forrestal was inadequate, and many members were poorly trained” (Stewart, 2004). As a result, the primary recommendation ensured all Sailors that work on the flight deck attend firefighting within 6 months of checking onboard, and receive refresher training every three years thereafter. After a discussion of the recommended changes, it leads to a discussion of how these changes have affected current

The Northern Pacific seastar is a 40 to 50 large predator that is found in Australia and other countries. Northern Pacific sea stars have five arms and each of these arms joins in the center of the organism to form a central disc. These sea stars shows a wide range of colors, from orange to yellow, and sometimes purple on their dorsal side. They have a row of spines from each arm  that comes together near the mouth area. Spines also line the ventral groove of each arm, where the tube feet are found. These sea stars are generally found close to shore on either mud, sand or pebble substrates but can live in depths up to 200 metres.

Were there any inappropriate risks that should not have been taken? How can these be identified and mitigated on future shipbuilding initiatives?

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a complex tale of an old seafarer, was written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and published in 1798. According to the Longman Anthology of British Literature, the work first appeared in “Lyrical Ballads”, a publication co-authored with William Wordsworth (557). The ancient mariner’s journey provides for such a supernatural tale, that all who must hear it, specifically the wedding guest in the poem, are enthralled. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the mariner’s tale is the obvious themes of sin and redemption. By using the story-within-a-story method, Coleridge gives the audience a tale that resembles a very Christian-like voyage from one theme, sin, to the final theme, redemption. Throughout his poem,
