How long is the Howard Franklin bridge in Tampa?
Actually it is a long bridge but also a short bridge. The Franklin bridge is bout three miles, give or take a few feet. Now, hey, that may sound like a long bridge and it could, to some people, be construed as a long bridge, but, to others it could be construed as a short bridge. Lets say people who live in Lousiana would call it a short bridge or the ones who live in the Florida keys could call it a short bridge. I think the most important part is that the Frankling bridge is long enough and it will be a long enough bridge for a long time. If you want to know how many feet the bridge spans, well, how about 15,872. Now that is what is exciting about how long Franklin bridge is. It is just long enough to get from one side to the other. If it were any longer, then it would be too long, but as I said, to some it will still be short. Frankly, I am glad that it is long, aren't you?
Who is Franklin Richards? What can he do?
Franklin Richards is one of the most powerful characters in marvel history.Man I love talking about his feats. Franklin is the son of Reed Richards and Susan Storm, Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman.So Franklin in the normal continuity is always a child roughly the ages 8–12.It is widely believed that the reason why certain marvel characters don’t age is because of Franklin Richards. How is this possible? Franklin has godlike reality warping powers. He’s so powerful that he can create entire universes in the palm of his hands.Franklin Richards is so mind bending powerful, that he’s practically a cosmic entity as he has recently been revealed to be a universal constant which means he exists as the same powerful entity in every universe of the multiverse, like galactus, speaking of galactus…There were these insanely powerful Celestials called the Mad Celestials who enslaved all life in the universes they visited, and they followed Reed Richards back to earth 616. Galactus was initially the only thing that stood in their way and for awhile he held his own before the Mad Celestials combined into one giant Celestial.All hope seemed lost, until an adult Franklin Richards and his sister Valeria who is arguably smarter than her father Reed and even Dr. Doom.The Celestials, even after defeating Galactus were terrified.Beyond Omega Level classifcation, reality distortion, universal shaper, galactic constant.Franklin fights the celestials on his own for awhile, but then starts showing off.He makes Galactus his herald, and then destroys the celestials. Yeah Franklin is strong enough to make a cosmic entity his herald..
Why is Franklin D. Roosevelt famous for in U.S. history?
Your joking aren’t you? You really don’t know why F.D.R is famous for. Well he was the only president elected for four terms. He was elected for his first term in 1933, the height of the Depression. His policies help the U.S. out of the Depression. He ended Prohibition. He started Lend-lease. After the U.S was attacked by Japan on Dec.3rd 1942 he had Congress declare war on Japan. He led the U.S. though most of WWII,until his death on April 12th 1945. These are just some of the highlights of his presidency.
What are some of Rosalind Franklin's accomplishments?
Who discovered the structure of DNA? The names Watson and Crick most likely come to mind. Little known is Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray images of DNA were described by J.D. Bernal - pioneer X-ray crystallographer - as "the most beautiful X-ray photographs of any substance ever taken. Their excellence was the fruit of extreme care in preparation and mounting of the specimens as well as in the taking of the photographs”.In my opinion, her greatest accomplishment was her pursuit of her scientific passions through the sexism of her time period. Watson later acknowledged, "I'm afraid we always used to adopt – let's say, a patronizing attitude towards her." When Rosalind decided to become a scientist, her father did not deem it appropriate and when she graduated from Cambridge, women could not be awarded degrees. Women were not allowed to enter the Senior Common Room at King’s College, where many of her male colleagues had lunch.Rosalind used her expertise in X-ray diffraction to study DNA fibers at the King’s College, and developed the famed Photograph 51 - produced through 100 hours of X-ray exposure through a machine she herself had refined. A male colleague of hers disclosed this photo to Watson, whose “jaw fell open and [his] pulse began to race”. Long story short, this photo was the foundation for Watson and Crick’s DNA model, which was published shortly thereafter and received a Nobel prize, with little credit given to Franklin.Tragically, she was struck with ovarian cancer and underwent numerous surgeries; yet, she continued diligently with her work, publishing several papers on viruses in this time period, helping lay out the foundations for structural virology. Rosalind was additionally an expert on the effects of heat on the microstructure of coal and published many papers on the structure of carbons; she also shed new insights on the Tobacco Mosaic Virus, the first virus discovered. Fortunately, Rosalind’s accomplishments are gaining wider recognition today, and it is a shame that she did not live long enough to continue her brilliant contributions to science.
What was the relationship between Benjamin Franklin and John Adams like?
Ben Franklin and John Adams respected each other but they also didn't get along too well. Franklin felt Adams was honest and a well meaning individual but felt he was a bit too passionate, even crazy. And Adams, while he initially admired Franklin, as time went on after he met him, he felt a that Franklin was to quote David McCullough, "cordial but aloof, easygoing to the point of indolence, distressingly slipshod about details and money." (McCullough 198). He also felt that Franklin was too submissive with the Comte Vergennes, and rightly suspected that the French wanted to keep America poor and dependent. He also didn't like being second fiddle to Franklin. They worked well together at first, but eventually Adams' hectoring finally made it intolerable for the two men to work together and so they parted ways. I imagine that Adams's puritanical upbringing and view of the world also let him to his disillusionment with Franklin.
What prayer did Ben Franklin say during the constitutional convention?
Benjamin Franklin has been venerated as one of the wise men of the Revolutionary Period. Along with that veneration has grown a myth that he called for three days of prayer during the recess for July 4, 1787 and the addition of a chaplain to lead prayers for the daily meetings of the Constitutional Convention. It is further said that after this period of prayer meetings, the Constitutional Convention resumed with the addition of the chaplain and sped peacefully to concluding the writing of The Constitution. Like all myths, this one has elements of truth along with its more imaginative elements The myth seems to be based entirely on the tertiary evidence supplied by a letter written by one William Steele to his son Jonathan in 1825. In the letter, Steele records a story told him in 1815 by General Jonathan Dayton about events of the Convention in 1787--28 years before. The documentation of the Convention states only that Dr. Franklin proposed daily prayer led by a clergyman and that the Convention adjourned without passing the motion. Records of the remainder of the convention indicate that acrimonious debate continued right through to the end. On June 28, 1787, Franklin made a formal motion for prayers at the Constitutional Convention. The text of the motion itself reads: "I therefore beg leave to move, That henceforth Prayers, imploring the Assistance of Heaven and its Blessing on our Deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to Business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that Service." This text is from Albert Henry Smyth's 1906 edition of The Writings of Benjamin Franklin, Collected and Edited with a Life and Introduction, vol. IX, page 601. Franklin preceded the actual motion with a page and a half of explanation supporting the idea. After the motion, there is a footnote by the editor that reads: "Note by Franklin.--'The convention, except for three or four persons, thought prayers unnecessary.'"
Did Ben Franklin REALLY fly a kite in a thunderstorm?
Well, he says he did, although he admits he was only repeating someone else's experiment. I quote from his autobiography, "What gave my book the more sudden and general celebrity was the success of one of its proposed experiments, made by Messrs. Dalibard and De Lor at Marly, for drawing lightning from the clouds. This engaged the public attention everywhere. M. de Lor, who had an apparatus for experimental philosophy, and lectured in that branch of science, undertook to repeat what he called the Philadelphia Experiments; and, after they were performed before the king and court, all the curious of Paris flocked to see them. I will not swell this narrative with an account of that capital experiment, nor of the infinite pleasure I received in the success of a similar one I made soon after with a kite at Philadelphia, as both are to be found in the histories of electricity." So I would say yes he did!
Why is a hard disk drive called "drive"?
Some fascinating answers here! My first thought was that I had no idea. But I have relevant experience that should have suggested the answer. My first job as a computer programmer was on a Honeywell Level 64, technically a “mainframe”, but it had removable disk cartridges, each about the size of a hat box. They held 200 megabytes, a number so slow that I suddenly doubted my own memory as I began typing this sentence. I Googled “Honeywell Level 64 Computer specs” and a fascinating article about the design of the computer came up. The original hard disk cartridges held only 17 mbytes! But expansion to as much as 300 mbytes was “envisioned”. Could my employer’s entire current business activity plus sales data for last year possibly have been contained in four of these 200 meg cartridges? Yes indeed. We kept a lot less data in those days, and it never included pictures. As a previous respondent says the “drives” were about the size of a top loading washing machine. They made an astonishing amount of noise as they came up to speed and added measurably to the heat being generated. We had four active drives and eight to ten cartridges. We backed up every day to a pair of cartridges that were carried to the main office in Manhattan. On the return trip the courier brought yesterday’s cartridges back. Off site back up! In addition we wrote tape backups every day. The tapes were cheaper so we could keep a much deeper level of backup. The tape drives, equally “state of the art”, were each about the size of a full size refrigerator.
Who were Benjamin Franklin's more ardent enemies, political or otherwise?
Not his enemy (there was a great deal of mutual respect) but you can get an idea of John Adam's thoughts about Franklin from the following quote:"The History of our Revolution will be one continued lie from one end to the other. The essence of the whole will be that Dr. Franklin's electric rod smote the earth and out sprang General Washington. Then Franklin electrified him... and thence forward those two conducted all the Policy, Negotiations, Legislations, and War."
