...crafts. Railway is the mode for trains. Air is the mode for the planes. And finally the pipeline is mode for pipe transportation. First : The Land Roads When building the roads there are certain requirements which should be considered and require special engineers who are specialized in this aspect in order to meet the local and the international requirements and standards which include the speed limits for cars and trucks, number of lanes, width of each lane, the degree of the steeps and the radius of the curves and many other things. Factors to be considered when planning for building a road : The highway roads and those which are designed for heavy lift trucks should pass out towns and cities in order to minimize traffic, noise and pollution inside the towns. When planning for a road or roads network it should be done to be capable of serving the future traffic considering the possibilities of the increasing population, number of cars and trucks and the expected increment in moving goods. Roads should be capable of reaching other places in the future especially those places which are expected to form new towns or production places. Main roads should connect between places of production and places of manufacturing, marine ports, air ports and dry ports. Roads should be provided by the necessary traffic signals and instruction. Advantages of the Roads 1- The roads are the...

...even though it appeared the same, maybe I’m the one that's changed. Seeing everyone for the first time in a year made me realize exactly how much I missed them, I nearly teared up from the moment Elizabeth, the youngest, threw herself into my arms. Growing up the middle child in a family of five kids can be hard, being the youngest boy was even harder. Growing up I had the loudest voice, yelling to be heard over the noise that my siblings made. Back when my father was still alive and the patriarch of our house, he taught me that if I was going to talk a lot, I may as well learn to talk well. He believed that the best way to learn to talk eloquently was to read elegant works.Thinking back it was probably that moment that started my lifelong love of reading and speaking. Even to this day, years after he died, I still take every spare opportunity to read; which, luckily for me, the ship provides plenty of downtime when i’m not on watch. Anyways, i digress. My family is difficult to explain, i could continue to write about them for years and still not cover everything. My mother, a stern woman and devout Catholic, she is the matriarch of our household and she rules over it with an iron fist. Just as quick to snub a person as she is to show adulation, my mother is responsible for the Russo’s sharp tongues and lightning wit. There isn’t too much to say over my my...

...to herself is wrong and has no religious grounds. When Catherine asks Sister Anita to take communion, Sister Anita is over joyed and thinks it is a huge win. She even goes as far as telling Dr. Pat that maybe they should put peanut butter on the wafer to “beef it up” a little more so that Catherine can get some nutrients in her. She says this jokingly because she knows that Catherine’s devotion has in fact become an addiction, and she is only taking communion for the sake of God. If Catherine wanted to eat then it should be for the sake of actually wanting to eat and ending her addiction. After taking communion and eating something for the first time, Catherine declares that the devil is inside her, simply because her stomach began to make noises. She even convinced the doctor to come listen to the “thing” inside her stomach, and rather then taking authority and telling Catherine that it was just her body trying to digest whatever she had just eaten, and because she hadn’t eaten in so long, its as if her body is in shock, he acts dumbfounded and listen to her stomach with his...

...UNIVERSITY DEPT: COURSE: UNIT CODE: UNIT NAME: REG. NO: FULL NAMES: LECTURER: SUBMISSION DATE: Introduction It is right to say that autism is a disability and wrong to say that it is a mental disorder. However much people may think that autism appears to be a mental disorder, it is not. Autism occurs when there is a problem in the central nervous system. Autism is only a mental deficiency. Some autism victims clearly communicate and interact with the rest of the community while others need a lifetime of specialist support. It is a spectrum condition which means that while all people with autism share certain difficulties, their condition affect them in different ways. Autism victims experience over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, touch, tastes, smells, light or colors. People with autism are more likely than the general population to have accompanying problems such as dyslexia (difficulty with reading, spelling and/or writing), dyspraxia (severe difficulty with tasks requiring fine motor skills such as drawing or writing) and digestive problems. They are also vulnerable to developing mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. Causes of Autism Autism can be caused by a variety of physical factors all of which affect brain development. The abnormal blood vessels functioning in the body causes ineffectual oxidation throughout the nervous system and this causes autism. Genetics is another cause for autism. Evidence suggests that genetic factors generate some form of autism...

...there are challenges faced by the Port. To maintain competitiveness, the container port needs to enhance its productivity and efficiency both on the land side and the quay side. On the land side, the container port has been built with an average of 14 hectares of land per 400 metres berth, which is about 45% below the international standard of 25 hectares for optimal performance. This has resulted in yard congestion especially during peak time, and in turn impacted the truck turnaround times. On the quay side, the transshipment throughput volume via barge operations has been increased nearly 30% in the past 10 years. The increase in barge volume has caused considerable barge waiting time and may disrupt connections with on-forwarding vessels. There is an urgent need for government support to increase the terminal back up land and also increase barge berths in the port area. Focusing on such challenges, the Association has submitted a White Paper to the Government proposing a land allocation policy for rationalization of terminal adjacent land and barge berths so as to facilitate improvement of productivity and efficiency on both land side and quay side The Association believes that the ability to provide efficient and reliable services will enable Hong Kong to enhance the Port´s competitiveness, which will benefit all service providers and stakeholders within the port and logistics...

...Transport Canada’s Construction Standards for Small Vessels specify how small vessels that are equipped with a motor, are up to 24 m in length and operate in Canada, must be built. A Compliance Notice is a statement from the manufacturer or importer that a vessel is built according to the construction requirements of the Small Vessel Regulations. If you plan to sell, import, build or rebuild such a vessel, you are required to make sure it meets these construction standards. Pleasure craft that meet these construction standards should be equipped with a Compliance Notice. Compliance Notices for pleasure craft up to 6 m in length also have information on recommended maximum safe limits in good weather. Compliance Notices can be a small metal plate or label affixed to the hull of your craft. Examples of Compliance Notices are depicted on this page. Do I need one? Canadian boating laws require that a Compliance Notice must be affixed to all pleasure craft propelled (or designed to be propelled) by a motor and that are built in or imported into Canada in order to be sold or operated in Canada, except pleasure craft 24 m and above. Owners of pleasure craft may obtain individual Compliance Notices from the original manufacturer. You also need a Compliance Notice in order to license or register your boat. For more information visit www.tc.gc.ca. BACK TO TOP What information is on a compliance label? Compliance Notices for pleasure boats less than 6 m in length provide three...

...January 9, 1986 There was no phone, and the window to the outside was too small for anyone but a small cat or a large rat to crawl through. Slitting her fingers through the envelope and withdrawing the letter yet again, she felt her remaining hope disappear instantly. The envelope that had been left in her office mailbox was supposed to have interested her. At first she had been excited but with every reading of it from agitation gave way to despair. Amanda Hylen had been awaited for this rendezvous for months now but it appeared as though it may never happen. Amanda had never been a patient person or a very caring one either. She was best known around her office for disregarding other peoples’ opinions and rarely did she consider the impact her action might have on another person or their feelings. Behind her back, her colleagues often referred to her as being selfish, uncaring, arrogant, and unkind as well as many other names that shouldn’t be repeated. The fact that she was short and had a prosthetic leg didn’t help her temperament. Fits of rage filled with flailing arms and spit had a reputation through her office. Her chestnut hair sprinkled with golden highlights that resembling the leaves of a poplar tree in autumn allowing her turquoise eyes to look even brighter and more welcoming. Her features allowed her to conceal her true employment with almost anything while she was away. ...
