I utterly support projects that will improve my community. The residents of Hamburg, a town in northern Berks county, are fortunate enough to be undergoing many improvements. These individuals established the Our Town Foundation which is assists in financing restoration projects all over town. Mostly the foundation's focus is on storefronts and residential homes. All of these projects are a great improvement to the semblance of the community and until recently, none of these restorations are a burden to the residents. The Our Town Foundation is presently overseeing the revitalizing of the Hamburg-Tilden Bridge. With all the information about bridge collapses circulating through the media within the past few years, the residents of Hamburg and Tilden are happy to have the bridge renovated. According to the notices posted around the bridge, the estimated time until the project will be complete is one year. We are approaching the one year deadline and the bridge is nowhere near completion. The excessive time to complete the repairs on the Hamburg-Tilden Bridge is directly causing local businesses to lose revenue, extend commutes for residents, and increase costs to anyone who drives near Hamburg or Tilden. The Hamburg-Tilden bridge was built in the early 1900's and has gone without repair through the millennium. In 1990, the bridge was deemed “structurally deficient” yet commuters still traveled the bridge, totaling around 12,100 vehicles passed over the bridge daily (Park). Another ten years later, upon further inspection, more deficiencies were found with the bridge, and still no repairs were made (Park). Finally in 2009, the bridge was closed and the construction work began. This closing makes residents feel like the gateway ... ... middle of paper ... ...y.gov.

he was ignoring the ice warnings, the captain was also putting the boat on full speed and did not answer the phone calls on the ship. A common argument against this position is that captain Smith is not responsible for the sinking of the Titanic because some peoples at its not his fault because he wasn’t the one who made the ship and had a fourth smokestack just for show. Yet, they got warnings about icebergs up ahead and ignored them. The articles says, “ Did you acknowledge the message? Yes
technology, many researches have tried and are trying to design multipliers which offers the following design targets such as- speed, power consumptions, regularity of layout and hence less area or even combination of them in one multiplier and making them suitable for high speed, low power, and compact VLSI design. Vedic Mathematics is used to reduce the delay and to give high speed multiplier. 2. Vedic Multiplication 2.1 Vedic Algorithm Among the 16 sutras of the ancient Indian Vedic Multiplication
posted speed limit. There is a huge difference between exceeding the posted speed limit, and exceeding your car’s ability, your skill, and the safe speed relative to the conditions surrounding the driver in question. I in no way, shape, or form condone driving 40 miles per hour in a neighborhood full of children playing, who may or may not at any moment dart out into the street to chase after a ball. The conditions surrounding that situation justify a slow speed, possibly even below the speed limit

If the bystander turns the switch to the right one workman will die but the bystander would be saving five workmen straight ahead on the track. The bystander has two options: option one, doing
this present occasion the ferry chugged away from the quay with its bow- 20 gate still low enough for water to flow over it past the car deck and back to the engine-room. The captain remained unconcerned and continued to suck his pope and gaze ahead while the bow-gate was adjusted and the surplus water slowly drained away. Not long afterwards, the chief engineer, in fact the only engineer, abandoned his post and came to the bridge to dry out.
seems to come to mind. It wasn’t until three years ago when I rode Kingda Ka, the tallest roller coaster in the world, that my perception of the “ups” and “downs” in life changed. Now sit back, buckle up, and hold on tight while I bring you up to speed. There it is. A single arch of lime green twisted metal, protruding from the earth like a mighty serpent, beckoning me closer. At 456 feet tall, alone in a jungle of metal and concrete, nothing dares to challenge its presence- only skyscrapers soar

development (lack of new value and differentiation), and disaster in two major lines of pacemakers. Spin-off and copied pacemaker design and tech pushed out Medtronic’s market position and allowed early adapters and late followers to outperform and innovate ahead of Medtronic’s, despite its first mover advantages earlier in the past decade. Medtronic, through faulty product development mentioned later, produced late entries that were behind in features, compatibility, and even ability to operate/work (leading
ABSTRACT A Four wheel steering system also known as Quadra steering system. In this paper, both front wheel and rear wheels can be steered according to speed other vehicle and space available for turning. Quadra steer gives full size vehicle greater ease while driving at low speed, improves stability, handling and control at higher speed It makes the car more efficient and stable on cornering, easier and safer lanes change when on motorways. The main aim is that turning of the vehicle should not
1. Introduction: Background High Speed 2 (HS2) is a proposed high speed train between London and the west Midlands. The project was established in January 2009 by a company set up by the government to consider the construction of a high speed railway in UK. This train will be able to travel up to 400 kph by year 2020. High speed trains have been successfully introduced in countries like Germany, France and Spain (hs2, 2011). The construction of the high-speed railway would reduce journey times
have to help the central defenders keep the strikers from creating too many chances on goal. Full-backs often possess good speed so they can keep up with the opposition wingers and strikers. In a 4-4-2 formation a team will have a left and a right full back. Many good full-backs will have the confidence to over-lap their midfield team-mates and join in any attack when they can. The primary objective for a full-back however is to have a good defensive performance. A similar position soccer players are
that he was a trainer and he could train me to become a Formula 1 driver and right then I remembered my father telling me about one of his cousins being a superior trainer. Steven also said to me that it was a 1 month training so he asked me to put my full concentration if I wanted to do it. There was no question in me not doing it. Steven gave me a day of explanation to what F1 was, the key to winning and the way he was going to be training me. He told me that F1 is the highest class of single-seat
The Effects of Scientific Development on Society Our basic objective is to examine the scientific developments through history and how they affect human life and society. To meet that objective we will first develop tools to analyze the relationship between science and the increasingly complex decisions we have to make regarding the way we apply science for human welfare. If we have learned anything at all about the uses of science in the second half of this century, it is that it has had an
Knight presented as a slender, attractive young man who was casually dressed, nicely groomed, and he appeared age appropriate. He was brought to the appointment by his mother, and he separated from her easily. Throughout the evaluation, Knight maintained appropriate eye contact, and he responded well to conversation. Knight was reserved but polite and cooperative. He appeared to be interested in performing well on the tests. In the quiet and structured environment, Knight appeared to be focused,
arithmetic operation but also necessary to all modern computers. Adders occupies critical path in key areas of microprocessor, fast adders are prime requirement for the design of fast processing system. Many fast adders are available but the design of high speed with low power and less area adders are still challenging. In modern computers, multiple ALU’S with wide adders and multiple execution core units on the same chip creates thermal hotspots and large temperature gradients. This affects the circuit and
