Taconite mining has become more popular ever since the rock has become rare. Taconite was once considered “waste rock,” but is currently really valuable. Since the Gogebic Iron Range has about three-fourths of all the taconite in the nation people from all over the country want to take over and start mining. Although taconite mining would do some good for the community, such as creating tons of jobs and boosting the economy for awhile, there are too many risks. Taconite mining has a negative
North Country is a 2005 movie made about the trial of Lois Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Company. A sexual harassment case that happened in 1975 but didn’t go to trial until 1988. (Wikipedia, n.d.) I will explain this paper how this movie affected me, what I learned from it, how it relates to feminist theory and what has changed in the time since that movie. North Country stars Charlize Theron as Josey Aimes who got pregnant in high school and currently has 2 children while working as hairdresser
The Fitzgerald carried about 26,116 tons of taconite while it was voyaging the Great Lakes. Taconite is a variety of iron formation found around Lake Superior. Although the taconite carried on the boat could have been a factor of the sinking,it was not the main cause. It is stated that it was not the people problems. Nothing that was brought onto the ship, like taconite as an example, would have been the main factor of the sinking. For the reason with that
There is no doubt that mining is a major economic activity in many countries. Mining has a number of common stages or activities, each of which has potentially adverse impacts on the natural environment, society and culture heritage, the health and safety of mine workers and communities. The results indicate that mining activities have created a multitude of income opportunities for the inhabitants of the state, but they have caused the problems in mining communities such as air and water pollution
be perceived as subjective. Having this case expose an area where managers fail to have non-subjective decision making procedures that could expose the organization to discrimination suits that could have possibly be prevented. Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Co 824f sup 847
The Tenth Amendment of the United States of America gives power to the states, without specifically listing them. This amendment delegates powers into three groups. The first group, is the power of the national government which is given to the national government by the Constitution. These powers are not held by the states, and are strictly reserved for the national government. The Constitution also prohibits certain powers from the states, and these prohibited powers are listed throughout the document
The Great Lakes have been home to more than 6,000 shipwrecks on its five major Lakes (Childs, 2011). One of the most popular wrecks was that of the bulk freighter the Edmund Fitzgerald on the Canadian side of Lake Superior. It had transported goods across the Great Lakes for about 17 years before it was overcome by the power of the Lakes. In terms of lifetimes of shipping vessels, The Fitzgerald was still relatively young. “The Fitzgerald, often called the Titanic of the Great Lakes was not only
I. Abstract This paper will provide a detailed discussion about iron metal. The chemical, physical and mechanical properties of iron metal will be discussed. Additionally, the occurrence and major applications of the metal will also be provided. This is intended to provide an understanding of the iron metal and the chemistry around it. The geometry of coordination together with the different oxidation states will be included in the discussion. It should be noted that iron is one of the few metals
1971. The Fitzgerald's normal coarse during its productive life took it between Silver Bay, Minnesota, where she loaded taconite, to steel mills on the lower lakes in the Detroit And Toledo area. It was usually empty on its return trip to Silver Bay. (Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum—www.shipwreckmuseum.com/about.html) On November 9, 1975 Fitzgerald was to transport a load of taconite from Superior, Wisconsin, to Zug Island, Detroit, Michigan. Not Cleveland, as referenced to in the song by Gordon Lightfoot
Mark, Ralph, David, Blaine made up the crew. On October 31st, the Fitz was on her last trip for the season, but did the captain know it would be the last for him and the crew? At 8:30 A.M, november 8th, the FItz was loaded with 26,000 tons of taconite pellets(Anderson 10) “With a load of Iron ore Twenty-six thousand tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty” (Gordon Lightfoot http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/) They were going across Lake Superior from Superior Wisconsin to WhiteFish
minerals are copious and broadly dispersed. Examples of where its ores are found include white sand, and a crystalline gold-coloured mineral commonly known as fool’s gold. The names of some of iron’s common ores are hematite, limonite, siderite, taconite, magnetite, iron pyrite, chromite, and lodestone. Iron is also found in hemoglobin in the human body to carry oxygen in the blood stream. Overall, iron is a very abundant element in nature that helps to form important factors for life. Iron was introduced
Joe Reschke 8E #19 December 9, 2013 Research Paper There are about 3-4 million shipwrecks in the world. The shipwrecks are mostly spread in the Great Lakes and in the Oceans. Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum estimates that about 6,000 ships are wrecked on the bottom of the Great Lakes. The United Nations estimates about 3 million shipwrecks on the ocean floor. The great lakes, which can be seen from space, are the largest freshwater system in the world. The lakes are home to 3,500 species of plants
