EM 31 & 34 Background Electromagnetic surveys operate by projecting a simple magnetic field into the subsurface. This initial field forms eddy currents within metallic or conductive objects present below ground, which then produce a secondary magnetic field that can be detected by a receiver. The actual physical property measured is conductivity (the ability of a material to carry electrical currents). Highly conductive materials, such as metals, produce a strong secondary field thus giving a high

James Miller 10143 02/12/12 Ms. Freeman Today’s Transcendentalism Have you heard a song like “Handlebars,” or “Prayer of the Refugee”? Those are both very good songs, but have you ever realized that they have to do a lot with nature, confidence, and self-reliance? Those characteristics have to do with transcendentalism.

But it’s just not a logical thing. I agree with Emerson whenever he quotes, “[n]othing

Finding Unity in Devestation My lungs grew tense, my veins froze, and a lump materialized in my throat as I began to contemplate what the future would hold for my mom. It had been one week since the tests were taken, and the knowledge that my mom’s fate was in the hands of unfamiliar doctors and test tubes was one of the most unnerving thoughts ever. Thanksgiving, a holiday which is typically one of the happiest times of the year, filled with love and family, felt solemn and uneasy. In class,
