Buoyancy

For the first time, in the three years I’d been diving, I struggled with my buoyancy; I don’t know how fast I sank, but it was more than one foot per second. I felt a pressure was intense I thought my head would pop. I needed to equalize; I pushed the power inflator button on my BC to give it a shot of air from the tank. I gave it just enough to counteract the sinking, then released the dump valve to let the air out slowly, and descend at the correct rate. I went up and down using this method until

Poetry, by its formal definition, describes intense literary work that expresses feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm. In poems such as “The Light Comes Brighter”, “Gold Glade”, and “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, poets used certain literary devices--such as imagery, personification, symbolism, and rhyme scheme--in order to develop an abstract but simultaneous concrete idea of their internal thoughts and emotions. In “Gold Glade”, Robert Penn Warren portrayed a vivid

community. Chaucer’s life and writings have made a huge impact on the writings of today’s time. He is often hailed as the father of English poetry. Many writers were influenced by Chaucer, including Shakespeare. “He had an abundance of natural buoyancy which he communicates…On the other hand, he had no gift for tragedy…”1 Chaucer invested most all of his characters with all varieties of human nature . “There are some critics who are not satisfied with {Chaucer’s} poetry unless it exhibits moral

One of the greatest news headlines of all times was actually never supposed to happen. The shocking news of the sunken ocean liner the Titanic shocked millions. The sinking itself probably wouldn’t have even mattered except that the builders themselves said that the ship simply could not sink. The news not only hit the United States, but countries everywhere were saddened to hear the news of “The Unsinkable” and its grave end. In 1907 a man named J. Bruce Ismay, who was the manager of White Star

Abstract Petrobras was an oil rig which was designed for an offshore production unit off the coast of Brazil. The oil rig was primarily designed as a floating drilling unit but was modified in 1997 to 1999 for it to become a production unit, to save money and space by moving the Emergency drain tanks (EDTs) from the platform into the structure but they were not checked properly meaning there was poor alignment to the production heaters, which lead to the accumulations of hydrocarbons which brought

Parting the Jordan River In the spring of the year both Jesus and John the future Baptist, cousins (cousins, not brothers), had reached the age of seven. The boys wandered far from Nazareth and along the Jordan River just south of the big lake, they decided to play ‘Let My People Go’ featuring Moses and Pharaoh. Little Johnnie the Baptist as Moses, cried out in a loud, raspy voice, “Let my people go!” spraying spit as he spoke. And Jesus, as hard-hearted Pharaoh, replied in a harsh voice, “You

Pollution is undeniably a problem for both humans and the environment, on both a global and local scale. One of the major problems facing our waters, both fresh and saltwater, is non-point source pollution. Point source is defined in section 502(14) of the Clean Water Act as “any discernible, confined and discrete conveyance... from which pollutants are or may be discharged.” Point-source pollution can be targeted by lowered emissions standards and less harmful waste disposal methods. Nonpoint source

Labels are Limiting We are failing to see what is right in front of us; once labeled, always dismissed. We are no longer consciously processing the humans living in poverty today as the individuals that they are, but rather as the rhetoric that echoes in their place. Uninformed biases become who we think that they are, and if they are remembered at all, it is in a dehumanized way such as statistics or policy; the humans become disembodied from the conversation. Dr. William Ventres introduces the

“They hope to have the central heating system up by fall. For now, we still have to light lots of fires and keep warm other ways. I warned Lia that it’s a work in progress and that we’ll still be roughing it in some areas.” “I could care less about inconvenience!” Lia exclaimed. “I don’t want to be parachuted to the destination—I want to reach it by taking the journey. That’s the only way it has any real meaning.” “Very well put, Dear Lady,” exclaimed Julian, “and Adriana and I are honored to be
