The Big Dig The Central Artery Tunnel Project, more commonly known as the Big Dig, is said to be the largest, most complex and technologically challenging highway project in American history. It is the culmination of decades of planning and forethought and is hoped to alleviate the traffic congestion that has plagued the Boston area since the invention of the automobile. The project incorporates a major underground highway system, a revolutionary cable-stayed bridge, and a series of impressive

The Main Themes of Journey's End Sheriff showed a lot of themes in this book, which made it very effective. The main themes were: Heroism, The reality of war Grief/mourning Irony of the play Cowardice/fear Hopelessness of war The cross section of types of people/officers The coping of the pressure of war. Duty In heroism, in this text, we clearly see that Raleigh tries to be a hero but fails. Raleigh (excitedly): "I say Stanhope's told me about the raid". This
Los Angeles, to some Los Angeles is just the city on wheels; others think that Angelenos are upper middle class snobs who are rude and only purchase expensive items. That may be the case for some, yet for others, Los Angeles is so much more then the rich and famous; Los Angeles is a land that holds many rich and diverse cultures; and with those cultures, comes rich, creative and ingenious cuisine. The true creativity begins with the love that is put into making the food. one can easily tell if
Following the American Civil War, the use of railroads for trade was booming. The Detroit, Michigan and Windsor Ontario border, separated by the Detroit River, was a center for railroads at the time with the Michigan Central and Great Western railroads operating on their respective sides of the border. In the early 20th century, the railroads used ferries to transport shipments across the river. As production and population grew, so did the shipments of goods, specifically grain. An increasing
Investigating the Relationship Between the Lengths, Perimeter and Area of a Right Angle Triangle Coursework Aim To investigate the relationships between the lengths, perimeter and area of a right angle triangle. Pythagoras Theorem is a² + b² = c². 'a' being the shortest side, 'b' being the middle side and 'c' being the longest side of a right angled triangle. So the (smallest number)² + (middle number)² = (largest number)² The number 3, 4 and 5 satisfy this condition 3²

Agriculture was a big business that many farmers took a part in. Due to the rising amount of exports, manufacturing capability, power, and wealth, America began to expand to other parts of the world and used overseas markets to send its goods. Farming became on of the most competitive jobs around this time. Farmers had many problems with the industrialization occurring in this country at the time. There were many factors that contributed to the agrarians' discontent and led to their revolts. At
Evidently, during the 1870-1900 period, farmers expressed drastic discontent in which their attitudes and actions had a major impact on national politics. First and foremost, farmers began to feel that their lives were threatened by competition with railroads, monopolies, trusts, currency circulation shortage, and the desire for Mother Nature to destroy their crops. The majority of the people of America were slaves, and monopoly was the master (Document C). Monopolies were dictating the way the agricultural
the United States have had a major impact on the economy and culture; however, not many of these have had as large as an impact as the Interstate Highway Act of 1956. The Interstate Highway Act revolutionized the way that we think about highways today. The act created an extremely easy mode of transportation for people across the country. Not only was the Interstate Highway Act extremely helpful in making rural and urban transportation for normal people, but it also helped commercial businesses in

In an article from Christianity Today (2001), “Todd Beamer will always be remembered as a national hero, he was a hero long before he and others on United Flight 93 tried to overpower hijackers on Sept. 11, 2011. In his final moments, Beamer 32, called a GTE Airfone operator and gave details about the hijacking, then recited the Lord’s Prayer with the operator. Beamer set down the telephone, and the operator
Case Study: The Impact of ISTEA Section 1033 Steven M. Burton American Military University TLMT 311 Professor David Patton January 21, 2014 Case Study: The Impact of ISTEA Section 1033 In 1991, 102nd Congress passed the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). According to Dilger (2003) ISTEA was legislation which provided $151 billion over a 6 year time frame, to improve the transportation system in the United States. Within that $151 billion was a designation of
1794. You may ask, what is the significance of this date. 1974 was the year of first modern road transportation network was established in Great Britain, allowing the first mail coach service between Bristol and London that ran on a timetable. However, roads have been around for centuries. So how is this relatively late date the “first” instance of a modern transportation system? Let us take a look at transport throughout the ages, and roads in particular. Pre-Roman History In prehistory up to circa
Throughout its nearly 60 year history, the Interstate Highway System has served the United States of America far beyond its original goals. From its original purposes of uniting the country and aiding defense to the more mundane, (but equally important)such as ferrying goods across the country, the Interstate Highway System has firmly entrenched itself as one of the greatest feats of engineering the world has ever known. Record setting bridges, tunnels, and length of pavement have all been made by
defended against the charge that it leads to unacceptable trade-offs by showing a trade-off accepted by many of us is not justified by any of the usual nonconsequenlist arguments. The particular trade-off involves raising the speed limit on the Interstate Highway System. As a society, we seemingly accept a trade-off of lives for convenience. This defense of consequentialism may be a tu quoque, but it does challenge nonconsequentialists to adequately justify a multitude of social decisions. Work by
Repairing the Problem with America's Transportation System There is a serious problem with our nation's roads and highways. I find myself repeatedly avoiding trips to the city for this very reason, as I'm sure many others do as well. This nerve-wracking congestion is even beginning to find its way into the suburbs and surrounding areas of large cities. It is a serious problem that affects everyone who owns an automobile, as well as, businesses that are dependent on reliable and convenient
that states did not have the right to control interstate commerce that right belongs to the Congress. Justice Samuel Miller adds: “the power of Congress to make such reasonable regulations as the interests of interstate commerce may demand, without denuding the States of their just powers over their own roads and their own corporations.” In 1877, Congress created the Interstate Commerce Commission charged with regulating and monitoring interstate
The federal government always came into play at different time periods, when businesses, economy inflation, or local state laws took advantage of the people, which made forced the federal government to act and set down policies and rules to protect the people of the United States. There was the progressive era, the New Deal, and the Civil Rights Act of 1968, Acts and policies that were passed by the federal government. The Progressive era was the most crucial time period where federal government
