...Adrian Lurie 12/13/11 Per. 1 Self-Evidence In 1776, the Deceleration of Independence was signed by our founding fathers. This document had been previously written to break free from the grip of Britain and become an autonomous nation. It obtained the most fundamental ideas of our country, and helped shape what it is today. The most important group of ideals in this Declaration was the self-evident truths, which stated essential laws about man and its organization. These self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence were derived from the ideals of natural rights, an undefined Creator, and establishing government. Throughout the history of the world, natural rights have been widely believed in, and were a large factor in the creation of our country. One source that shares the ideas of the Declaration is Cicero’s De Legibus, in which Cicero wrights that man, “has been given certain distinguished status…” This directly relates to the self-evident truths, meaning that Man has been given special rights and is therefore above all the other animals. Another example of natural rights in history is the signing of the Magna Carta. The king acknowledged that he had been repressing people’s natural rights, so they created the Magna Carta to protect them. This is yet another example from which the Declaration of Independence claimed ideas. Finally, the famous philosopher John Locke, “called the new-born mind a tabula rasa, a blank slate.” He believed that all men were created...

...The on-going battle in the African American community between light skinned and dark skinned individuals is not only an issue of the present, but stretches many years back as seen in Adrian Piper’s work and lifetime struggle with her identity. With a growing number of interracial families many children find it hard to fit in with society’s expectations of black and white. Like Piper, many are looking to identify themselves but are disheartened by lurking stereotypes. All in all, it’s a problem society hasn’t overcome, but efforts such as Adrian Piper’s are educating and altering notions of the past. Piper’s racial identity issues, worsened by discrimination, began before her time when her father, a light skinned black man was placed in the segregated black army brigade only to be shunned by fellow troops men because they thought he wasn’t dark enough. As a result, Piper grew up to question her identity, not knowing where she belonged. However she later learned to defend her stance as a black woman, but along the way her enthusiasm was stifled by the constant “derogatory, insensitive behavior” she witnessed towards blacks whether they were around or not. In an effort to combat the racial discrimination, Piper turned to art as an outlet, and her photography not only helped her overcome her issues but also brought light to an overlooked societal issue. In 1972, Piper, in a series of images know as the Mythic Being progressively portrayed herself as a black man with a mustache,...

...BACC – Bangkok Art and Culture Centre The Bangkok Art and Culture Centre is the cutting edge mid-town contemporary art centre where artists come and unite. Started in 1995 by The Artists’ United Front of Thailand who propose the idea of a contemporary art centre for Thailand to dedicate to His Majesty the King Bhumipol Adulyadej. However, conflict between the artists and the governor prevent the project for going further due to the governor’s vision of wanting to turn the art centre into a shopping mall with the art centre being a minor part of it. It was not until the new elected Bangkok Governor; Mr.Apirak Kosayodhin approved the project in September of 2004 that the project restarted with budget of 509 million baht. In July of 2008 the projected was completed and the official opening in 2009. The style of Bangkok Art and Culture Centre is a combination of both modern and historic reference of Thai forms and shapes. Narrow and small windows are used as a remark of tradition Thai style windows but were adapted to create a modern look. A sloped slanted wall of the exterior looks simple and modern but was actually used by Thai architecture over the years. Thai roof and the form of Thai traditional dance positions inspired the curved profile of the interior. Feelings of open space are affected by the use of high ceilings and window panels. The building consists of 9 floors, with the main gallery beginning from the 5th floor. The floors beneath are for small galleries, coffee...

...Vast Hell “A small town is a vast hell” The quote above describes how badly some people perceive small towns. There could be many reasons behind this strong dislike. One of them could be that small towns are often seen as these tight and small communities where everybody know each other in one way or another and are noisy with too much time on their hands, which resolves in gossip spreading out quickly in town when something happens. But what do you do when you try to move past the gossip, and stumble upon the ugly truth? We see this in the novel “Vast Hell” by author Guillermo Martinez, where the quote is also from. The story takes place in a small village, and resolves around a man that thinks back to the arrival of a nameless young boy in the small-town, that manages to become the talk of town, when rumour starts spreading that he is romantically involved with the wife of one of the two barbers in town, who people call “the French Woman” for unknown reasons. Fuel is added to the fire when the boy and the French Woman disappear, leading half the town to believe they ran off together and the other half to believe that the barber somehow did away with them. Further investigation into the case gives the story a whole different turn, because after digging in the ground to see if the barber had buried them there, they do find dead bodies, but not the bodies of the boy and the French woman, but of a lot of unknown people. The story is told with a first person narrator...

...really? Julienne is always usually with her friends out in the playground after school, and meanwhile, Adrian is always very quiet at all times, during school and out of school, Julienne starts to notice that he doesn’t have much friends and he always seemed to push everyone away, and she starts to wonder, but why? Adrian usually lies in one spot under a huge tree which is beside this huge playground; he would lay there for hours watching the clouds go by. Julienne ended up seeing him because she also goes there every day to play with her friends; she decided to approach him when all her friends had to leave. July 27th, 2016; 5;30pm; “Hey Adrian, I’ve noticed that you always seem to be lonely, would you like to become friends?” Julienne says. “But, why would you want to become friends with me?” Adrian replies. “Why not?! You seem like a pretty cool dude to be around with although you’re very quiet and shy, I’m surely confident that we could get along and become close friends!” Julienne says. “Sure, sorry if I’m not the most entertaining person but once you get to know me more, I’ll surely open up and probably be more comfortable speaking to you” Adrian replies. “Would you mind if I sit beside you and we could ask each other questions so we could get to know each other more” Julienne asks. “Go ahead, I don’t mind at all.

...FACTS: Adrian, a salesperson who represents several wholesale companies, receives a commission income check worth of $10,000 from Ace Distributors on January 2, 2014. However, the check is dated on December 30, 2013. Adrian argues that she has not gained full control over her check in 2013 because it is unreasonable to her to drive 50 miles to collect the check from the Ace offices. In addition, even though Adrian can collect the check by any means necessary on December 30, 2013, she cannot deposit this check into her account since banks would have closed when she returned. ISSUES: Does Adrian have constructive receipt of the income in 2013? FINDINGS: By applying the doctrine of constructive receipt of the income to the Adrian’s case, we determine that Adrian has a limited control over her check since she cannot deposit the check on December 30, 2013 because the banks are closed. For this reason, Adrian can report the commission income in 2014. REASONING AND AUTHORITY: According to the Regulation §1.451-2(a), under the general rule of the constructive receipt of income, “Income although not actually reduced to a taxpayer's possession is constructively received by him in the taxable year during which it is credited to his account, set apart for him, or otherwise made available so that he may draw upon it at any time, or so that he could have drawn upon it during the taxable year if notice of intention to withdraw had been given. However, income is not constructively...

...characters in the Classroom Predicament Case Study should be ranked in the following order regarding their responsibility in Adrian’s failing grade. 1. Adrian 2. Violet 3. Louise 4. Professor Johnston 5. Dean Richards 6. Rob Adrian should be held most responsible for the failing grade that she received. Ultimately, it was Adrian’s choice and decision to use work that was not created by herself. It is clear that Adrian thought through this process and made the decision to use a paper written by someone other than herself. Violet is next in the ranking for most responsible for the failing grade. Violet’s role in this situation included the emailing and sharing of the prewritten paper. She was the individual who gave the idea of using or purchasing a paper written by someone other than Adrian. Louise is next in the ranking. Louise provided the prewritten paper to Violet which is what Adrian used and received the failing grade. If she hadn’t provided this paper to Violet, which was forwarded to Adrian, it’s possible that Adrian would not have used a prewritten paper. Professor Johnston ranks number four. The professor posted his late policy prior to this occurrence. He made it clear to Adrian that he was unable to make any exceptions regarding his late policy when she asked for an extension. This made Adrian aware of the consequences if she were to submit a late assignment. Dean Richards is next in the ranking. He played an even smaller role in the failing grade...

...CASE STUDY 01 Adrian Holdsworth was a 39-year-old Caucasian woman with two children (a son, age 12, and a daughter, age 7). Since obtaining her bachelor’s degree in business administration 8 years ago, Adrian has worked as a bank manager. Recently she had become increasingly worried about her ability to concentrate and remember things at work, and she went to her family doctor for an evaluation. Finding no physical basis for her concentration and memory difficulties, Adrian’s doctor referred her to a neuropsychologist for a more detailed assessment of her cognitive functioning. The neuropsychologist deemed Adrian’s complaints to be anxiety related, and thus he encouraged her to seek out the services of an anxiety disorders clinic. During her initial visit to the clinic, Adrian again expressed her concerns about her lapses in concentration and memory. She stated that because of these lapses, she had made some “financially disastrous” errors at work. Consequently, she was advised by her supervisor to take some vacation time to relax and “get her head together.” Feeling devastated by her supervisor’s remark, Adrian became convinced that her concentration and memory problems were serious and perhaps the result of her brief experimentation with marijuana in college. In addition to her problems with concentration and memory and worries that her job was in jeopardy, Adrian claimed that she was unable to relax outside the office. She also reported low self-esteem and difficulties in...
