On a cold December night, I was in charge of a float that will be in Kingsville’s Christmas parade. The past few month, my team and I worked on the cannon that was suppose to fire and make as much noise as possible. We did the calculation, we got the materials, and we put it all together. It was about 8 feet long and 4 inches wide. We tested the cannon for 2 days and found it to be what we needed for the parade. We painted the cannon red and put a white stripe of tape to make it look more like a
others. First of all, the East LA student protesters fought bravely as they worked towards improving education for themselves and future Latinx students. As Sal Castro, a Chicano teacher who helped organize the walkouts, once said, “The blowouts are important because of the courage of the kids… The students knew that whatever changes they could bring about in the schools wouldn’t affect them but they hoped it would affect those who came behind them…” (Castro and Garcia, 3) The students were
Cavin, Aaron. "Blowout! Sal Castro & The Chicano Struggle For Educational Justice."Journal Of American Ethnic History 34.2 (2015): 127-128. America: History & Life. Web. 12 Sept. 2016. My first source comes from a journal entry from the American Ethnic History. I thought it would be a reliable source because the author is taking information he gathered from the book “Blowout!” to write his journal. This article was very help in describing the Chicano educational struggle and their fight for justice
On December 23rd 2009 at 6:15 pm onboard the Sedco 711 semi-submersible rig operated by Shell E&P, a blowout occurred. This occurred during the upper completion clean up phase of the well. According to the UK parliament’s Memorandum and Transocean’s report, the blowout happened due to an underbalanced column of drilling fluids in the well. This is very similar to the Macondo Blowout, as it also involved an underbalanced column of mud. The only noticeable difference is the use of an unusual spacer
the residents of the community who have been affected by these blowouts. The identification of the problems faced by each of the major stakeholders?5marks Throughout this situation of the gas blowouts that happened, all these stakeholders faced same problems, but affected in different ways. The residents of the community were the individuals who were affected the most due to lack of water that was discontinued after the blowout, but not only that due to their living condition it has also affected
The blowout preventer in the text “Rigged to Blow” by John Ballem is an important narrative element in the story. A blowout preventer is used the event of an oil pipeline rupture and helps to siphon off the oil from the main line and block off the remaining oil to ensure the least amount is spilled. It is a form of containment for the oil. In the literal context of the story, the blowout preventer is disarmed by unknown assailants. However, Ballem suggests that there is also figurative representation
of BP's corporation by Transocean, a private contractor, is set to begin drilling off the Southern coast of Louisiana. In the beginning, the operation process goes easily, but then finally the cement job completely fails which triggering a massive blowout that overpowers and kills people. There is a chain of malfunction equipment coupled with a failed attempt to seal the well and oil ignition which kills more people. When the rig exploded, eleven workers were killed which led to the pressure on the
Due to a failure of the vessel’s blowout preventer as the only guard against an explosion, the rig owned by Transocean imploded under numerous problems of maintenance. As dead batteries were investigated to be present inside the blowout preventer alongside defective wiring , BP was not the only company concerned with potential profit loss from acceptable safety standards. In order to maximize revenue generated by the Deepwater Horizon rig, Transocean officials failed to recall the vessel for maintenance
Organisational behaviour is an observed interaction between internal and external individuals to produce success or failure in an organisation. For Example, McDonald’s staff i.e. Counter employees, spend the most time with consumers. Their presence as ‘front of house’ representing the company’s behaviour in the role of ambassador as well as food-server and cashier. Subsequently, if a negative behavioural experience is presented by them such as shouting at, or perceived to verbally abuse a customer
The year 1968 was bombarded with momentous events that undoubtedly changed the course of history. The film Walkout managed to recapture and revitalize some of the events such as the East Los Angeles Walk Outs or also known as the Chicano Blowouts. Director Edward James Olmos, did a superb job when portraying the events that occurred in March 1968 in addition to the ways Chicano and Chicana students were being taken advantage of by the Los Angeles Unified School District in order to save money.

avoid some complications. Remember that you'll likely have to go back in and fill in the occasional line, and there's no shame in that. #4. Creating Smooth, Solid Lines A major pitfall for the newbie tattoo artist is the inability to avoid knots, blowouts, and other signs that too much ink was quickly put into one spot. When this happens, the ink has nowhere to go and ends up spreading out under the skin, making a permanent mark that can ruin the overall design. There are a few tattoo techniques
The second amendment is a great help though. Remember the military will probably be extremely split on this. (Sorry if I'm remembering any of the following information incorrectly but it should be accurate) Bush conducted polls in the mid 2000s within the military finding that around 20% of the military would carry out orders to fire on US civilians. We can assume and flip this number around if we want to be cynical leaving 80% of the US military to be against us if we wish. Now personally seeing

On April 20th in 2010, the deepwater horizon drilling platform of BP PLC at the Gulf of Mexico in American got blowout and burnt, which had sunk 36 hours after that with 11 persons killed and 17 persons injured. On April 24th, the oil wells out of control began to leak oil lasting for 87 days, about 4.1 million barrels of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, the pollution of which spread to coastwise 5 states. This became the worst oil spill in America history, so it was said to be a national disaster
twice in the novel. Once at the beginning of Cocoa’s account of the event and again at the beginning of George’s (Naylor 230-232). Even in their most disagreeable moment, when it all boils down they both see it the same, the blowout to end all blowouts. Argue as they did, argue as they may, in the end they were one person of one mind, just what a marriage should be. A slightly different form of this same technique is used to give example of the mother-daughter love relationship between
Introduction Oil spills happens every year through cleaning of tankers. These spills contribute more petro-pollutants to the ocean than offshore rig blowouts though less attention is generated when compared to blowouts of oil rigs (Nadakavukaren, 2006). Whenever there is a rig blowout or tanker spill, far more attention is attracted as in the case of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is an oil spill that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico with oil spilling for three months in
rather than ethical concerns and how it downplays the possibilities of alternative fuel sources in the near future. Ethical concerns that Baird neglects include the impacts on the environment as well as the safety of the workers, as accidents such as blowouts and spills are very common in offshore drilling, which harm workers and devastate the local environment. This makes Barid's argument less effective, because while his main concern is money and popular opinion, accidents and environmental concerns
right way to do it, when a tire is bad forget about it that’s the easiest thing to do. When a tire is low on air leave it what would be better than a new tire. Having a tire blowout is a great excuse for not going to work how great would a day off be. People should not worry about a tire and proceed with the day because a tire blowout will be great for not only the driver but the drivers around them.
I’ve always had a knack for cosmetology. The before and after results, the experience, the opportunity to MEET new people, and especially the smiles and excited reactions on my clients’ face. Don’t get me wrong, the income expectancy is enticing as well, but to me it’s not about that. I just want to HELP make people happy and to feel better about themselves. My desired career is in the cosmetology field. I aspire to go to school for hair and barbering, then to become a nail technician and makeup
