...Sula is a novel about self-creation, about women, about men, and about a culture. The girls, Sula and Nel, realize early on that the world does not easily accommodate people such as them: “Because each had discovered years before that they were neither white nor male, and that all freedom and triumph was forbidden to them, they set about creating something else to be.” They would be black women. That means something different to each of them. For Nel, it means becoming a wife and mother, sustaining the values of the community. For Sula, it means living an “experimental life,” rejecting commonly held values. Nel tells Sula, “You can’t do it all. You a woman and a colored woman at that. You can’t act like a man. You can’t be walking around all independent-like, doing whatever you like, taking what you want, leaving what you don’t.” Sula will not accept such limitations. When Nel demands to know what Sula has gained from her choices—having no husband and no children; her grandmother put away in a nursing home; her mother, father, and uncle dead; residents of the Bottom all despising her—Sula responds, “Girl, I got my mind. And what goes on in it. Which is to say, I got me.” Nel, on the other hand, has loneliness, an empty space that Jude used to fill, and another one Sula formerly occupied. Sula’s self-knowledge and Nel’s connection to other people are both essential to human existence. Each woman, even if only momentarily, comes to understand that. Fire and water are recurrent...

She finds fault with people supporting collectivism for supporting freedom and equality into something meaningless. When she realizes the power his ego possessed, Equality 7-2521, “I am neither foe nor friend to my brothers, but such as each of them shall deserve of me. Moreover, to earn my love, my brothers must do more than to have been born. I do not grant my love without reason, nor to any chance passer-by who may wish to claim it. I honor men with my love. But honor is a thing to be earned.” 3. Irrationality against Reason While conducting an experiment in the tunnel, Equality 7-2521 rediscovered scientific method while doing research on electricity. He was able to invent the production of light using electricity. His approach while conducting the experiment spread to other aspects of life. The author’s formal critics where he kept a journal and he always asked questions about the society and the way it was blindly following individualism. His reasoning was exact in the way that the society views in regards to serving humanity was not at all correct, it was because no workers were experiencing fear more than happiness. The workers were understanding their emotional reactions in effort of discovering a solution to what they felt was a problem. Comparing to the activities of equality 7-2521, Anthem demonstrates...

...Marc Singer's documentary Dark Days follows a group of homeless men and women who live in an abandoned subway tunnel in New York City. They have built one room huts, they even have electricity, pets, beds, and they work hard to scrounge to earn money. They feel lucky to be a step above the homeless on the street who have nothing to call their own. Their participation in the making of this film allows them to eventually move out of the tunnels when forced to by Amtrak officials. This is not just a film on the lives of the homeless, it is about human condition. How they got there, how they get by, and how they get out. We learn in detail the cause and effects of how this small group of people ended up living in a tunnel together and formed a community. Some have turned to drugs to forget the horrors of losing children and doing jail time. Others are simply unwanted by their familes or society. As dangerous as it looks, they found the safest place to live where they could still live their lives on their own terms; never losing their wit and humor. Decisions on making this documentary were all made spontaniously. The director Marc Singer does not appear in the film, Singer explained his process by stating, "I'd been living in the tunnel for about three months before the idea came up about making the film and really became good friends with the people" (Singer, 2000). He had never even seen a movie film camera before. Singer ultimately used a 16mm camera with black-and-white...

...1.2) A tunnel is an underground or underwater passageway, dug through the surrounding soil, earth, rock and enclosed except for entrance and exit, commonly at each end. A pipeline is not a tunnel, though some recent tunnels have used immersed tube construction techniques rather than traditional tunnel boring methods. A tunnel may be for foot or vehicular road traffic, for rail traffic, or for a canal. The central portions of a rapid transit network are usually in tunnel. Some tunnels are aqueducts to supply water for consumption or for hydroelectric stations or are sewers. Utility tunnels are used for routing steam, chilled water, electrical power or telecommunication cables, as well as connecting buildings for convenient passage of people and equipment. There 4 kinds of tunnelling methods that is widely used. They are (1) Cut and Cover Tunnelling method (2) Drill and Blas Tunnelling method (3) Tunnel boring machine method (TBM) (4) Sequential Excavation Method Cut and Cover Tunnelling Method Cut and Cover Tunnelling Method Cut and Cover Tunnelling Method Cut and cover tunnelling is a common and well-proven technique for constructing shallow tunnels. The method can accommodate changes in tunnel width and non-uniform shapes and is often adopted in construction of underground stations. Several overlapping works are required to be carried out in using this tunnelling method. Trench excavation, tunnel construction and soil covering of excavated tunnels are three...

...they want. In “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing Jerry didn’t have this problem. As an eleven year old boy, Jerry makes incredible breakthroughs in his life by distancing himself from his mother, gaining more confidence in his self, and conquering the tunnel. Jerry distanced himself from his mother while they were on vacation in France. When they went down to the beach his mother said, “Are you tired of the usual beach, Jerry?” (Pg.278)He may not have said no, but he was. After he said no, he told her, “I’d like to go and have a look at those rocks down there.” (Pg.278)His mother approved and he went to go swim down at the rocks, while his mother went to the usual beach. He distanced himself by leaving the usual beach and the comfort of his mother. When Jerry was diving with the other boys he realized that they could stay underwater for a long time. While they were diving down and going through the tunnel Jerry tried it. He didn’t find the tunnel and didn’t stay under as long as the other boys. “After a long time, the boy came up…” (Pg.297) The second day he went to the beach and started teaching himself to control his breathing. When he came back up out of the water his nose was bleeding and he was fairly dizzy. However, he went back the next day and exercised his lungs once again. He built confidence in himself, and started to believe that he too could find the tunnel and swim through it. Jerry is going to try and make it through the tunnel. Before he went into the water...

...contract, service contract, operating contract, performance contract and others. However, the terms of PPP and concession will be using interchangeably throughout the entire topic. Basically all those terms refer to one common purpose. The purpose is to establish a method of procurement that brings together the public and the private sectors in a long-term partnership for mutual benefit. The vital feature is that it is intended to achieve both social and commercial goals. When it serve as a long-term solution for offering infrastructure within a country, it would indirectly support sufficient growth and economic benefits for the public. The broader execution of concession can be done to fund transport infrastructure such as highways, tunnels, railway, ports, bridges, railroads, airports and canals transport systems. They are also often used to finance projects in water supply, power generation, sewerage, dams, irrigation and drainage, and to a lesser extent, telecommunications and solid waste management infrastructure. In the case of Malaysia, the Government officially revealed the execution of public projects using the Public Private Partnership (PPP) or Private Finance Initiative (PFI) scheme under the 9th Malaysia Plan. In 2009,...

...The extent to which new, or complex, technologies impacted upon the project. The Channel Tunnel project would have been built two centuries ago if it was technically feasible. In 1802, the idea of a road tunnel was suggested to Napoleon during a brief peace between France and England. French engineer Albert Mathieu Favier gave Napoleon details of a scheme involving two tunnels, one which would be candle-lit for horse-drawn carriages and the second acting as a sort of drain to take away water seeping into it (Anderson & Roskrow 1994). However the scheme existed only on paper due to the absence of appropriate tunneling techniques. Digging a tunnel under ground is not a novel technology; however, the geology is, especially under the sea. Engineers had to check and hoped to find that a suitable rock for tunneling stretched in an unbroken bed across the channel. Building a tunnel doesn’t require innovative technology, otherwise the government would not approve the project go ahead. However, the actual construction of a 50 km-long Channel Tunnel up to 50 meters below the sea tested the ingenuity and skills of the top minds in the European and American construction industry (Anderson & Roskrow 1994). There were 11 specialized boring machines have been used in total on both, the British and the French sides, to work their way through the chalk marl stratum, which is between the gray chalk and glauconitic layer. The ground condition on the UK side had caused problem. The machine...

...water. SPLASH! “Through the Tunnel,” written by Doris Lessing, starts off at the beach during a boy and his moms vacation. An English boy named Jerry explores the beach and feels lonesome with no one to play with. As his mother debates how to treat him; Jerry wonders off to another beach to meet some older boys who he does not know. They speak different languages, but welcome Jerry anyway. After the biggest boy dives off the promontory, and does not surface Jerry gets timid. He starts yelling warning to the other boys that one has not come up. They brush him off and the rest dive in. After Jerry’s warning they decide to leave him behind and head to another beach. Jerry notices that there is a hole in the rock he has been diving off of and tries to swim in it. He can’t hold his breath and mysterious creatures start to brush against him. He quickly swims out of the tunnel to surface, and pants. He becomes determined and practices everyday holding his breath and going farther into the tunnel. One day after hours of practice...

...beat him with pipes, kick them, hit them with pieces of wood, stick them with knives, if he still won’t move, you wrap the cable around his neck and drag them in with the hoist. You drag them while they’re still alive. Choke them to death.’ ’ (138). This quote, which is graphic, tells what happens behind the closed doors of some plants. This, sadly enough, is not the worst that happens behind the doors, some instances have been caught on tape and shared with the media, for example, a small farmer who beat the cattle with a metal rod for fun. Industrial farming, because it is more cost efficient, choose its methods mainly on efficiency and cost effectiveness. The majority of them do not take the cow or pig into account at all, even though it is the animal’s life that is being effected. The methods used in large industrial farming are far from ethical. For example, the cows are usually held by chains and led through small dark tunnels until they have reached the next stage. It is been made law for mammals, other than rabbits, to be stunned before execution. This is either done by using an electric current that is used to induce a heart attack, or a seizure, or a bolt gun, used to deliver a blow to the skull of the cow, or to shoot a rod through the cow’s brain. This method is used to desensitize the cow from the next stage, where they are killed. Many times the cow will suffer one or two failed stuns, and in these cases, the “animal may be paralyzed without losing any sensibility”...

...Wind tunnel A wind tunnel is a tool used in aerodynamic research to study the effects of air moving past solid objects. A wind tunnel consists of a closed tubular passage with the object under test mounted in the middle. A powerful fan system moves air past the object; the fan must have straightening vanes to smooth the airflow. The test object is instrumented with a sensitive balance to measure the forces generated by airflow; or, the airflow may have smoke or other substances injected to make the flow lines around the object visible. Full-scale aircraft or vehicles are sometimes tested in large wind tunnels, but these facilities are expensive to operate and some of their functions have been taken over by computer modelling. In addition to vehicles, wind tunnels are used to study the airflow around large structures such as bridges or office buildings. The earliest enclosed wind tunnels were invented in 1871; large wind tunnels were built during the Second World War.
