Third person writing is quite simply a form of observational experience. It is talking “about” someone’s experiences, thoughts and movements. It is an external viewing of a person’s experience as opposed to having a first-hand, through my emotions and “walk-in-my-shoes” experience. Imagine when you are writing first-hand that you are sitting with a typewriter behind the eyeballs of the character that is talking; now with third person writing, you are sitting behind your own eyeballs, but this time you are looking out and writing about the character in front of you. You can guess what goes on ...

Institutional Racism towards Black Americans

Racism, as several experts describe, has been a way of life, for quite some time in the United States (Nesbit).

While slavery and apartheid ended long before, what is left over is our own complicated melee of whites, blacks, and Asians, and many more races, in a mixed colorful bouquet, and yet, creating a lot of confusion in the minds of both people and ...

Impact Mitigation

Intelligent locomotive bumper designs have been touted as possible life-savers for pedestrians. Paden, Kelly, Hines, Botham and Simms explored the feasibility of a life-saving locomotive bumper (103). There were several motivations behind their paper.

I pulled on my jeans and trudged down the stairs, trying to shake off the memory of last night’s argument; such arguments were becoming all too common these days.

Q1. A 200mm diameter pipeline divides into two smaller pipelines, one being 100mm in diameter and the other being 150mm in diameter. If the velocity in the 100mm pipe is 0.3m/s and that in the 150mm is 0.6m/s, calculate the flowrate in litres/s and the velocity in m/s in the 200mm pipe. [ 13 l/s, 0.413m/s] Solution: Flow Rate = (pi/4)(0.1)2(0.3) + (pi/4)(0.15)2(0.6) = 0.01296 cubicmeters/sec = 12.96 l/sec. (ans.). Velocity = (Flow Rate)/(Area) = [0.01296]/[(pi/4)(0.1)2] = 0.4125 m/s. Q2. If the specific volume of water is 0.001251 m3 /kg. calculate:
