...Aftermath of Chernobyl Chernobyl remains as one of the worst nuclear disasters recoded in modern history. Even though the most severe consequences of the event occurred in the Soviet Union, this incident changed the course of modern European history. This event affects nuclear industry through the decline in nuclear power plants, anti-nuclear movements, arms agreements through nuclear disarmament, environmental movement, and more renewable energy sources. Chernobyl is a catalyst for Germany’s place as an anti-nuclear country as well as a leading developer in new renewable sources of energy for the modern world. Some background information about the Chernobyl disaster was initially discovered when a Swedish Nuclear power plant “set off warnings during a routine radioactivity check… When other nuclear power plants reported similar happenings, the authorities turned their attention to the Soviet Union, from which the winds were coming” due to the fact that the Soviet Union attempted to hide their serious nuclear problem. When the Soviet Union finally admitted the accident occurred, due to pressure by Sweden under UN treaties, the USSR claimed, “the Chernobyl accident was the first ever in a Soviet nuclear power plant” or in other words the first accident they admit to happen. According to the Encyclopedia of Russian History, the disaster ironically happened after a failed safety equipment test that blew off the roof of reactor four. It ultimately killed thirty-one people from the...

...Chernobyl and the Aftermath September 11, 2012 Chernobyl, near the border of Belarus and the Dnieper River, was a catastrophic nuclear accident that had occurred on April 26, 1986. This was a result of “reactor 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant exploded, triggering a graphite fire that lasted for 10 days” (Yablokov et al., 2010). As a result of the explosion and fire, weathering patterns throughout Europe and the Northern Hemisphere changed due to the large quantities of radioactive contamination that as released into the atmosphere. In Chernobyl on the day of the explosion, there was a sudden power outage and when the emergency shutdown was attempted, rather than the power turning off, there was an extreme strike in power output, which lead to explosions. The International Atomic Energy Agency calls Chernobyl to be “the foremost nuclear catastrophe in human history” (Yablokov, 2010). Also, according to the International Programme on the Heath Effects of the Cherobyl Accident (IPHECA), the radioactivity released by the explosion in Becquerel terms was 200 times that from Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs combined (Yablokov, 2010). Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Western Europe, and other areas of the Northern Hemisphere were covered by a radioactive cloud as a result of helicopter pilots dropping over five thousand tons of boron carbide, dolomite, sand , clay, and lead as an attempt to suffocate the flames. Immediately after the...

...Ashley Zerr Heather Altfeld English 130 18 December 2012 Inquiry Ashley, It’s about ten o’clock here and I couldn’t be anymore exhausted. We were prompted to wake up about four o’clock this morning. We’re all done with the days where all we do is stand in formation and learn how to march correctly, thank god. We have actually been doing some real training but it’s just the basics. Tomorrow (Monday) we get to go through the gas chamber though! So we will see how that goes. From what I hear you stand in there with your mask on, and then you have to take it off for about thirty seconds before you can exit the room. I guess people tend to pass out and throw up everywhere. So it could be some fun! I wish we could do some more repelling or shooting, but that’s not for a couple weeks. I just want to be out of this stupid place and get my phone and everything back. But I just have to be tough for a few more weeks and then it will all pay off. Guess what? I tried to steal a piece of pie in the dining hall at dinner because I wanted something sweet, but I got caught. So now I get no pie at all. They are so strict on what you can eat, you can’t even but Gatorades out of the vending machines. It’s so lame! And as soon as I get off the shuttle to the airport I am buying some candy and a coke. I can’t wait! I feel like I’m in prison. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about you. You’re the one thing keeping me going and all I look forward to when I get leave. I’ve been counting...

...Troy Evans Language December 2nd 2010 Eminem’s life has been full of ups and downs. He went from having no money in the ghetto of Detroit to being a famous millionaire rap star icon. He dropped out of high school after failing 9th grade three times. Then he turned to music. He constantly read the dictionary so he could have a srong vocabulary. Marshall was entering underground rap battles to prove himself in the music industry. It was a lot harder for him to do this since he was white and rap was primarily an African American musical style. It was unheard of that a white rapper could be at the top. After studying rap and figuring out what he wanted to sound like, the famous producer Dr. Dre discovered Eminem. His first album The Slim Shady EP was a hit. People were starting to recognize the young sensation. Early Work The second album that Eminem made was The Slim Shady LP. This album has won awards for greatest rap album. The next album was The Marshall Mathers LP and it was the highest selling hip hop/rap album of all time. I guess you can say he was growing into a huge hit. But there was a dark side Eminem had legal issues with his wife Kim Mathers and also experimented with drugs. He was also criticized for lyrics that were disrespectful to homosexuals and different races. The Eminem Show and Encore His next two albums were considered not his greatest work and critics said it could have been a lot better. The album Encore was considered his worst album...

...Time couldn't have been going any slower. I had no faith left in the freshman holding the entire season in his hand. One kick; whatever happened in the next few seconds had the potential to end it all. It was the second overtime, and the ball had to make it through the goal posts there was no other option. I could feel my heart pounding in my ear. Although I was standing in a sea of people, it was silent. Everyone that filled the stands was holding their breath, and all any of us could do was stare. There wasn't any specific reason that I loved Wilson football so much. I just loved it. Supporting my friends, cheering in the stands, and celebrating all the victories could make anyone love it. At home everyone knows Wilson football is the best in the area. Nothing made me happier than being able to tell people that I went to Wilson. There was only one other person that felt the same way I did. That person was my best friend Lauren. Our senior year the two of us traveled everywhere with the team going to every game. The ball was snapped and landed perfectly into the holders hand. The kick went up it felt like the ball was in the air for a lifetime. I felt Lauren grab my hand squeezing it so tight, and my eyes started to fill with tears. Salty and slow as they ran down my face. Almost as salty as the leftover fries that laid next to my ice cold feet. However, I wasn’t crying because I was scared or sad, instead because I knew how much football meant to my friends and me. I wasn’t...

...The Aftermath of Camp Jackson Shortly after Camp Jackson, the situation in St. Louis becomes quite stormy and agitated. Improvised assemblies take place at the courthouse and at other places. Enraged speeches are held against the so-called damned Germans who dared to fire on native-born Americans. These foreigners had been so bold as to seize the troops of the state of Missouri and take them to the arsenal. This is a national insult that must be avenged by the extermination of all Germans. As the city is now in turmoil, individual German immigrants are mistreated on the street and a few are even murdered.

...[Writer Name] [Supervisor Name] [Subject] [Date] Fieldwork Paper In my fieldwork project observed a number of gamers who will be divided into 2 categories of addicts and non addicts. People who play for more than 5 hours a day are called addicts and those who play less time than that are called non-addicts. Which will focus on the specific players in a game called World of Warcraft. This game is a very popular game worldwide with over 5000 people playing at any given time (Cronin 113-147). Its popularity is one of the reasons why people are getting addicted to it. Gamers are all the time looking for new and interesting games and as they find something new they started playing and telling their friends and family about it. In this way those people themselves get obsessed of games as well as they make others overwhelmed with the interest of gaming. I would define this group of players as a culture because they have their own way of life that is very different from anything one is, they spend much of their time in gaming which is no more than a way to get busy. And this activity does not mean anything useful. In addition at one point these 5000 players are playing then a sort of a social group of their own. Some of my songs are complete addicts and play this game at least 8 hours a day without worrying about college, sleep or work. These people have no friends and not have any food because they are busy playing Warcraft all day (Mayra 45-113). We think that it will be a great...

...Marshal Mathers, also known as Eminem, has been creating a stir in the music industry over the past few years. Many people feel affended and intimidated with him while he uses his freedom of speech and expresses himself. His rapping and hip hop lyrics are raw, explicic and very offending to many different types of people. There are many reasons for the type of music Eminem makes. There are many reasons why his music is the way it is. Eminem, A.K.A. Slim Shady, made his debut in 1998. Many people do not understand where Slim Shady comes from. As a child, he had no father, his mother was an alcoholic and a drug addict. Also Eminem moved back and forth from Kansas city to urban Detroit. While growing up, he was picked on and beaten by people all the time. He would get jumped and beat by his mother. All of these instances lead to the type of music he makes today. To add to all of this, his closest relative and best friend, comitted suicide when Slim was in his adolcence. The song I selected is off of Eminems most recent album, The Marshal Mathers LP, and it is titled “The Real Slim Shady”. I chose this song for many reasons. This song mocks the mainstream artists and songs of the time. He makes a pop song which becomes mainstream, in order to show everyone how easy it is to make pop music. Also, his lyrics rhyme and make sense and i think it is amazing how his signing and music just flows perfectly. Eminem has explicic lyrics which help to press the issue at hand...
