Flagstone is used for many different things such as ornamental decoration and paving walkways. Flagstone is a type of sandstone. It comes in random shapes or it is cut rectangular. Some of the colors that it comes in are beige, tan, yellow, and red. Before the flagstone deteriorates or dulls it can be sealed with porous stone sealer, which can be ordered from Aldon Chemical. These seals can increase how long the sandstone lasts. These seals can create gloss, change the color tints, and help resist from the absorption of water into the flagstone which can harm it. To also increase the life span of flagstone a person could used grout or flagstone mortar between the pieces of flagstone for another type of seal. Flagstone or sandstone are siliciclastic sedimentary rocks that are mainly consisted of sand-size grains bonded together by chemical cement or compaction. The different types of flagstone are characterized by color, pattern or shape. Some kinds or flagstone include Tennessee sandstone, rainbow, cherry Log, dark orchard, and dove gray. If it is characterized as “irregular” than it comes in different shapes. If it is characterized as “pattern” then it comes in rectangular form. The texture of this flagstone depends on the size and sorting of the detrital grains, and the roundness of these particles. This characteristic depends on how the sediment is dumped. Environments that could harm the hardness or the maturity of the flagstone are places with water such as a river flood plain or swamps. Mature flagstone are clay free and well sorted with a nearly uniform particle size. Super mature flagstone are those that are clay-free, well sorted with well-rounded or smooth sand particles. This type of stone is usually found in sand dunes where wind is able to smooth the sand particles. The prices of flagstone vary between the different types but not that much. A person can by flagstone from a number of places and one major seller is Luck Stone. Flagstone comes in 3000-pound bundles and other large orders like we had in our garden, which is about sixty dollars from Luck Stone. Flagstone is commonly used in gardens, murals and other places like it everywhere. Flagstone can create beautiful sites with mortar, grout, or plants and flowers in between the different stones. Flagstone has other uses also such as building retainer walls or waterfalls. Flagstone is shown though all these different source to be a resource that is valuable to our garden and building society.
Although many corporations have contributed large sums of money to campaign for a new Mississippi flag, that would replace the existing 1894 Confederate flag and improve economic and racial relations throughout the state, chances are slim that a change will occur. Many Mississippians are simply not ready for change and few African-Americans are actually pushing for a change. Many Mississippians view the original flag as part of the state’s heritage and do not want to replace it with a new one. However, I believe it is in the best interest of the state of Mississippi to change the flag, not only to ease racial tensions, but also to boost economic conditions.
The Quartzite at Kamiak Butte is a very hard rock. It measures about a 7 on Moh’s hardness scale.2 Kamiak Butte is present today because of how hard this rocks composition is. It does not erode very easily.2 Quartzite has a sugary texture and carries an orange/tan color on the butte.2 Quartzite is everywhere around Kamiak butte.
The autobiography of Olaudah Equiano, first published in 1789, is the first example of a slave narrative. Unlike most of the class, I took it upon myself to read the entire story of Equiano’s Travels, abridged and edited by Paul Edwards. In that version, as in the version represented in The Norton Anthology American Literature Shorter Fifth Edition, the journey of Olaudah Equiano is expressed in his own words, from his own point of view. That makes this writing a truly unique piece of literature. It is not only the first slave narrative but also one of the only ones written pre-civil war by a former slave, and someone seized from Africa. These facts give the writing a unique feel, for it is the words of a man that was born a free man, raised to be a ruler of his tribe, kidnapped and made into a slave as a young child, and then journeying through life to become once again free as a mature adult. Equiano experienced almost all parts of a slave’s existence. He was a slave throughout Africa, England, and the New World.

When the Laws are introduced in Crito they claim that none of the Laws should be disobeyed because to break one is to break them all. Instead of breaking the Laws in retaliation because they have acted or behaved unjustly, as stated at 51b, they can be persuaded to change, “although he agreed to obey us, he neither obeys nor persuades us if we do something ignobly, although we put forward an alternative to him and do not order him crudely to do whatever we bid, but permit either of two things—either to persuade us or to do it” (52a). Persuasion is the one option that allows for disobedience; however, whether or not Socrates must obey the law if he fails to persuade it is unclear. Socrates’ hypothetical disobedience in Apology to the court’s order to cease philosophizing is taken into account in Richard Kraut’s “Plato’s Apology and Crito: Two Recent Studies”. The article is a review of Gerasimo Santas’ Socrates and A.D. Woozley’s Law and Obedience: The Arguments of Plato’s Crito. In the article Kraut comments that Santas’ stance, which is that Socrates’ disobedience in the Apology does no harm to the city because he is willing to accept his punishment, is unreasonable: “but it is absurd to say that, whenever someone openly violates a law and accepts one’s punishment, no harm is done to the city” . Kraut does not go on to fully explain why no harm is done to the city, but I am compelled to disagree with him on Santas’ behalf. If harm were done to the city each time someone disobeys a court order or breaks a law, the state of Athens would have fallen apart long before Socrates’ trial because apparently punishing those responsible does nothing to repair the Laws. If this is the case, then what purpose does justice, in this case a court of law, serve if not to repair the damage done by criminals. If Socrates could not persuade the Laws of Athens not
Equiano survived the ten years of cruel enslavement and bought his freedom with the help of his last master Robert King. He then went on to write his narrative of the situation. The narrative was a personal statement of the slave trade to help urge the British government to abolish slavery all together. At the time of the writing, Equiano was considered an ameliorationist. An ameliorationist is a person who would rather make something better by improving it (Donaldson). Only towards the end of his writing was Equiano considered an abolitionist. Regardless of what people think, Olaudah Equiano’s account shows the impact of the slave trade among the diverse African majority affected. Physical and psychological abuse, quality of life, inhumane treatment, and the dehumanization of slaves during and after enslavement are the affects that stand out most within the middle
Soon after the sea reached longer distance westward and the sandy tidal deposits were converted to deep water deposits. Mancos Shale is the name given to represent these deposits, which are comprised of organic material and small particulates. Another interesting fact to note is that this type of sediment consists of fossils. These remains can include prehistoric shell fish, shark teeth, and many other types of organisms. The hills seen at the foundation of the mesa in the Montezuma Valley are comprised of gray
The novel The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano exists as an extremely important work in the abolitionist movement in England. As an 18th century narrative written by a former black slave the novel provides a glimpse into the lives of the African slaves involved in the slave trade as well as the slave traders themselves. Even with the controversy over the authenticity of Equiano’s claims on his origin in Africa and his subsequent voyage through the Middle Passage, this novel serves as a powerfully instructive piece of literature. Throughout the novel Equiano strives to impress upon the reader a certain set of moral standards or ideals that he desires to instruct the reader about. One such moral ideal that is prevalent throughout the entirety of the novel is Equiano’s construction of the idea of the value and worth of the African slaves, as opposed to the view of the African slaves as simply commodities or objects to be purchased and traded. Equiano argues and presses the reader and his audience to recognize that the African slave and the white slave owner are not as different as his audience may believe. In order to proclaim and showcase this idea of the value and worth of African slaves, Equiano uses the Christian religion to develop and sustain his argument. In many cases during Equiano’s time period, and for a while afterwards, Christianity and the Bible were used in defense of slavery, and this fact makes Equiano’s claim more powerful and groundbreaking. One of the key attributes of the novel is Equiano’s spiritual conversion and religious revelations. I believe that Equiano’s Christianity serves to connect him with his audience, increases his credibility as an author, and ultimately proclaims the disparity ...
In the eighteenth century, innocent victims from native Africa were kidnapped from their homes, the only land they knew, and then taken away on boats to a new world. This new world forced them to become slaves, and crucially took away all their human rights. A survivor of the slave trade from the middle passage is Olaudah Equaino, and he accomplished to publish an autobiography of his life in a book titled, “Equiano’s Travels: The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa the African.” Equiano suffered great oppression when he and his sister were kidnapped from their homeland, Ibo. Once he became accustomed to the European culture, he was taught of the Christian faith. This religion developed him into a believer of the fatalism of Providence, or guidance of human destiny by fate. Christianity has affected Equaino by the way he conducted his life, how he treated others, and found redemption through faith.
Andy Adams, a writer for The Literature Network states, “Socrates concentrates on three certain statements throughout this dialogue. The first is that one ought to live rightly, the second is one ought to never do wrong, and the last one is one ought to keep agreements” (Adams, 2016). While Crito attempts to give “just” arguments, he fails in doing so because of the reasoning he uses. Socrates’ arguments all revolve around doing what is good and just, which ultimately led to the decision of not escaping his execution. Although Socrates was killed, he was killed as a wise and just
Colorado holds many other types of hard rock mines, or mineral mines, but Marble, Gold, and Gypsum are three that stand out as the three mentioned, always have a demand. The marble mined from the Yule Marble quarry in Marble, Colorado, is often contacted by such entities as the U.S. Government. Officials or Artists, hand select sections of rock, which fit the needs of burial stones in Arlington Cemetery, or a statute.
Monuments are a symbol of a significant time in history. Monuments represent life, death, success, and struggle just to name a few. They have become as important to society as the events they represent. They bring history alive to new generations and memories to those who experience them firsthand. Monuments create a bridge between generations. Many parents feel a certain indescribable joyfulness when they see the look in their child’s eyes they had went they viewed the same monument.
In 1996, Arctic Timber Engineered Woods Division, a highly mature business unit, faced a market downturn and began losing millions of dollars each month. Before becoming the President of the Engineered Woods Division, Bjorn Gustavsson had already determined that the company could not sustain its commodity business and was not aligned with the new direction devised by Peter Hammarskjöld, the CEO of Arctic Timber. According to Gustavsson, in order to prosper in a more challenging market environment, developing a specialty business was the only viable approach. The goal was to shift 50% of its commodity business into undetermined specialty by 2000. However, the Division had shifted only 10% of its business to specialty products by 1997.
