My family is very big and diverse and thanks to the diversity I was introduced to the term “Blaxican”, a person who is racially mixed with African-American and Mexican. One of cousins is married to an African-American and their oldest daughter often refers to herself as a Blaxican and that really caught my attention but never really looked into it. As we began watching films in class about Soul Food I started thinking if it mixed with other food, particularly Mexican. Which later on I found out due

and Lending Problems with China’s Three Gorges Dam Project The Three Gorges Project continues to leave a wake of environmental and social transgressions. An assortment of activists and over 45 international groups, including the International Rivers Network and Sierra Club, have fought the project and all its detrimental attributes (Lammers 1). But because of the predetermination of its construction, certain consequences associated with the Three Gorges Dam are inevitable, especially those resulting
Three Gorges Dam Director Owen Lammers calls it one of the "largest and most environmentally and socially destructive projects on Earth"(Maier, 1997). One of China’s oldest dreams is becoming its newest reality. Since 1914 the idea has arisen of damming the Yangtze River. China plans to do this with a 600-foot, cement wall which will take eleven years to complete and costs could rise to over 75 billion dollars. The dam is claimed to have many advantages for China and the Chinese. Three Gorges is
Though technically defined as an archaeologist, Mary chose to follow a route of interesting research relating to physical anthropology. She is known mostly for the excavation of a two million-year-old fossilized human skull in 1959. She has also worked to help the world understand that the evolution of humans follows a principle rather than a theory. The name Leakey is synonymous in most people's minds with the successive dramatic discoveries of fossilized hominid bones and stone artifacts that
The Magnificent Mary Leakey Mary Leakey died on December 9, 1996. She loved to smoke Dutch cigars, as if everyday were some kind of celebration; strong tobacco was one of her vices. Hers was a life of constant commencement. She never attended colleges, though she did receive numerous honorary degrees in Britain and America: "I have worked for them by digging in the sun," she said. She first gained recognition in 1948 for discovering a 16 million year old fossilized cranium of a hominid thought
The Three Gorges Dam The Three Gorges Dam is an unfinished project which will be the largest dam ever constructed on the planet Earth. It is situated in China on the third largest river in the world – the Yangtze. The dam has been debated over since the 1919 and is still a hot topic of debate because of its many pros and cons. In 1994 construction began on the dam, and it is expected to be finished by the year 2009. The massive dimensions of the dam are mind boggling and its functions –
the dam was first proposed, the Three Gorges Dam has been a topic for debate in the People's Republic of China. The construction of the world's largest hydro-electric project on the Yangtze River would be a detriment to the native flora and fauna, submerge rich farmlands, destroy archaeological sites, and force the evacuation of millions of people. Faced with international, as well as domestic, criticism about the ecological and social havoc the Three Gorges Dam would cause, the government of China
The Inga 3 Project is a Dam building venture in the Congo. The idea was to build hydropower plants to extend energy across the globe. The original idea was to provide free or inexpensive energy and jobs to underdeveloped areas. This would be the third dam in the region. Inga 1 was completed in 1972 and Inga 2 was completed in 1982 and were a part of the Inga-Shaba project. Inga 3 Project is supposed to connect the electric grids of many countries in the region. “Inga 3 is expected to produce
Introduction Concrete is a composite material composed of water, coarse granular material embedded in hard matrix of material (the cement or binder) that fills the space among the particles and glues them together. Concrete is known by Romans as old as 12 million years. It was a revolutionary material laid in the shape of arches, vaults and domes. Concrete is widely used for making architectural structures, foundations, brick/block walls, pavements, bridges/overpasses, highways, runways, parking
The Hoover Dam Out in the middle of no where, an hour drive away from Las Vegas, NV lies one of the biggest dams and power plants in the world. Built in the heart of the depression, it serves as more than just a barrier from water to pass through. The concrete poured into the walls of Hoover Dam, are made by the sweat and blood of hundreds of Americans who were looking to save themselves, and their families. Residing on the Colorado River, the Hoover dam rises out of no where. Downstream
Three Gorges Dam, the largest hydropower in the world, has claimed to be a project that gives “hope” to the people in China. Located on the Yangtze River, the third longest river in the world, the Three Gorges Dam is the symbol of China’s technology and economic progress. For years, the government has claimed that it could benefit people’s living quality by improving the navigation on Yangtze River, providing hydroelectric power, and improving flood control. But does it true? Do the people in China

Electricity crisis: Alive in Nepal This topic may seem irrelevant to the readers here in United States. Nepal is the second richest country in water resource but we still have problems with hydroelectricity. Everyday electric current goes off for hours and people are compelled to live in the darkness. Unable to form and established new hydroelectricity projects is the main reasons why Nepalese are still deprived to full electric facilities. Establishment of complex structure like hydroelectricity
1. Introduction The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River will probably be finished by 2009 and will be the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. Being the present manager and being appointed by the government at the feasibility stage I am asked to write a report in order to outline the activities required to successfully manage this major project and to ensure that it is completed on time and within budget. This report will be divided into six parts beginning with an introduction and ending
Green energy Green Technology, or environmently friendly technology, is technology that does not harm the environment, One reason green energy is superior to other engergy sources, is it does noto deplete the Earths natural resources. Another great reason to use green energy is it does not harm the environnment when making energy as much as other ways. One of the best ways of creating green energy is through wind turbines.Wind turbines generate electricty through kinetic energy from the wind. When
building out the water infrastructure such as Three Gorges Dam. The Three Gorges Dam is the world’s largest hydropower project and most notorious dam. The environmental impacts of the project are profound, and are likely to get worse as time as goes on. The audience of this paper would be anyone interested in an in-depth look at the importance of the water situation in China caused by the pollution and the construction of damns like the Three Gorges Project and its impact on the progression of international
The Three Gorges Dam in China is the largest hydroelectric dam ever built. The Three Gorges Dam (TGD) was built to prevent flooding, as well as produce energy. Flooding has plagued the Yangtze for centuries; Chinese authorities estimate that some 300,000 people were killed in the 20th century's largest Yangtze River floods. In 2012 during the peak flood season, with a peak flow of 70,000 cubic meters of water per second (Angela), the TGD performed as expected controlling the floodwaters, from flooding
