...Arsenal Football Club were formed as Dial Square in 1886 by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, south-east London, and were renamed Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards.[8] The club were renamed again to Woolwich Arsenal after becoming a limited company in 1893.[9] The club became the first southern member of the Football League in 1893, starting out in the Second Division, and won promotion to the First Division in 1904. The club's relative geographic isolation resulted in lower attendances than those of other clubs, which led to the club becoming mired in financial problems and effectively bankrupt by 1910, when they were taken over by businessmenHenry Norris and William Hall.[10] Norris sought to move the club elsewhere, and in 1913, soon after relegation back to the Second Division, Arsenal moved to the new Arsenal Stadium in Highbury, north London; they dropped "Woolwich" from their name the following year.[11] Arsenal only finished in fifth place in the second division during the last pre-war competitive season of 1914–15, but were nevertheless elected to rejoin the First Division when competitive football resumed in 1919–20, at the expense of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Some books have reported that this election to division 1 was achieved by dubious means.[12] Arsenal appointed Herbert Chapman as manager in 1925. Having already won the league twice with Huddersfield Town in 1923–24 and1924–25 (see Seasons in English football), Chapman brought Arsenal their first...

...someone who strongly supported the end of slavery. This violent rebellion not being quite enough for slavery despising Brown, the “radical abolitionist” (B) organized a raid on the Harpers Ferry arsenal in October 1859. Moreover, one of his goals was to free the slaves in Virginia, because at the time, Harpers Ferry was part of Virginia, a slave state, not West Virginia like it is today. As well, most importantly, Brown desired for his revolt to spread throughout the entire state. Brown instigated his bigger plans by first capturing the arsenal and then seizing its weapons to arm his followers. It was the evening of October 6, 1859 and Brown had assembled merely 21 men, a few of them his sons, all willing to die to put a bullet through slavery. According to Civil War Trust however, Brown’s raid was, “doomed from the start.” Foolishly, Brown did not possess the necessary ammunition for the weapons in the arsenal. Even worse, the slaves he attempted to recruit never attended. Soon enough, the Virginia and Maryland militia besieged the arsenal, leaving Brown and his men hopelessly and defenselessly trapped. Ninety marines prevailed by Confederate Colonel Robert E. Lee were commissioned by President Buchanan to culminate Brown’s insurrection. On Lee’s command, his soldiers attacked the arsenal and freed Brown’s prisoners he held there, one of them a distant relative of George Washington. When John Brown was hanged on December 2 of that year, the vying, unstable nation was shaken. Brown’s...

...correctly. When giving a speech, the speaker needs to be able to connect with their audience and not distract them from the message that is being given. A speech that uses many examples of ethos, pathos and logos is “The Great Arsenal of Democracy,” by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt’s use of pathos and logos effectively portrays his message of American defense, patriotism and the power of industry throughout this speech. Throughout the fireside chat, Roosevelt pulls on the American citizens heartstrings when he plays off their pride, and fear of what could happen. He also uses logos when explaining the background and facts of why the United States should assist the British. In...

...A control-freak always fears losing control. His whole life is based on plans and being 100% in charge. Why did Wenger take off his best forward at 1-1 with 20 minutes to go? Why did the physiological manager take off his most creative player right after he'd made the goal that got Arsenal back into the game and gave them a chance of winning? Because he had a minor calf strain that could put him out for a month? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. Oxlade has tweeted to his Southampton buddies that he wasn't injured. With AW, it's all about control. Control of everything. He thinks stability is harmony and that harmony requires a defined pecking order. We all have to know our place in the hierarchy. He hates confrontations inside the bubble we call London Colney and he lets Pat Rice be the shock-absorber who sorts out the squabbles between the players. On Sunday, Wenger stood on the touchline and saw Walcott being totally upstaged by his understudy. He saw Walcott sulking and bitching and he saw his pecking order being destabilised. If Oxlade had scored the winning goal, Wenger would have to pick him for every game. That was what happened with Jack. As soon as Jack Wilshere became spinal, a core player, Wenger had to pick him for every game. A diehard technocrat and data-analyst, Wenger plans his substitutions before the game. He's demonstrated scant ability to think on his feet in the technical area. He doesn't win many games from the touchline. He wins them...

...Galvanized Gunners still lacking pizzazz before Christmas Santi Claus arrived early at the Madjeski Stadium this week as it was none other than Mr Cazorla who bamboozled a meagre Reading side, netting a hat-trick in the process in order for Arsenal to win 5-2. The much required win will indeed ease the pressure off a flailing Arsenal side that have appeared flaccid throughout the majority of the season. However Arsenal’s defence still appeared lacklustre and two schoolboy errors allowed Le Fondre and Kebé to break through and score. Thomas Vermaelen, a former PFA Team of the Year player, still looks languid when under pressure and Per Mertesacker’s lack of pace has shown that even the best of the best need to get to grips with the fast pace of the Premiership. With 3 games remaining of 2012, it is fundamental for Arsene Wenger’s side to grab the maximum 9 points in order to boost the team’s morale going into 2013. Subsequently, the real test for Mr Wenger will be who exactly he will sign during the January transfer window as Mr Wenger has often been berated for his poor or merely lack of activity during the transfer windows of the past; with the £10 million signing of Gervinho in August 2011 serving as a case for this argument. The Gunners have been linked with acclaimed frontman such as Klaus-Jan Huntelaar of Schalke 04, Llorente of Athletic Bilbao and midfield powerhouses such as Yann M’Vila of Rennes and Moussa Sissokho of Toulouse; with no defenders appearing in...

He gained international attention during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and was nominated for the Golden Ball Award, which is awarded to the tournament's best player. Özil started his senior career at hometown club Schalke in the Bundesliga in 2006, transferred to Werder Bremen in 2008 and was signed by Real Madrid in August 2010 following his break-out performance at the FIFA World Cup with Germany. On transfer deadline day of summer 2013, he moved to Arsenal for a club-record fee of £42.5 million.[3][4][5][6] The transfer makes him the most expensive German football player of all time. Özil is acclaimed for his finesse and improvisation as an attacking midfielder. His style and ability for providing assists for his team-mates has been compared by former manager José Mourinho to that of Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane.[7] In 2011, Özil ranked first in assists in major European and domestic competitions with 25. In 2012, he ranked first in assists in La Liga with 17.[8][9] He was also one of the top assist providers in the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012 with three in both tournaments.

...moral structure for disarmament that the bishops and the Holy See have expanded since the end of the cold war would gain from deeper image by ethicists on the moral issues that arise on the road of nuclear disarmament. When nuclear weapons are kept by nations or state, they eventually become powerful with strong influence over others. During the era of the cold war, the retaliatory nature of nuclear policy which led to a nuclear build up base on the basic goal of survival. The time the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the era of nuclear rivalry seemed to be at an ending point and the US and Russia began to confiscate many of their weapons that they had used to threaten each other for more than 40 years. In 1967 the size of US nuclear arsenal reached at 31,255 warheads but as at 2010, under the new plan (strategy) arms reduction treaty signed with Russia, the US made promise to deploy no more than 1,550. This year by June, US president barrack Obama made an announcement about his motive to go even lower, to around 1,000 warheads this move will leave the United States with fewer nuclear weapons than at any time since 1953. In his major 2009 speech in Prague, Obama pledge to desire the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapon.

...Assignment 5: Border Patrol Agent Jeremy Matkovich Strayer University CRJ 100 Within this document one will get a better understanding of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agent. This document will present a description of the border patrol, annotated web link, an article related to the career, three professional associations that could support, and legal code according to the state of Maryland. Border Patrol Agents actively patrol the borders to prevent innocent civilians from entering or leaving the United States without government permission. [ (Schmalleger, 2011) ] Agents detect and prevent the smuggling and unlawful entry of aliens into the United States, along with apprehending those people found to be in violation of immigration laws. Agents work to lower crimes and improve the quality of life in border communities. In some areas Agents are deputized or have peace-officer status and use it to enforce local and state/territory laws. [ (Schmalleger, 2011) ] One of the most important activities for a Border Patrol Agent is "line watch". This involves the detection, prevention and apprehension of terrorists, illegal aliens and smugglers of both aliens and contraband at or near the land border by maintaining surveillance from a covert position, following up leads, responding to electronic sensor television systems, aircraft sightings, and interpreting and following tracks, marks and other physical evidence. [ (Schmalleger, 2011) ] Some of the major activities are...

...RACE FOR NUCLEAR ARMAMENT: THREAT TO WORLD PEACE Introduction Nuclear weapons are, simply, the most indiscriminately inhumane weapons ever invented, and the only ones capable of destroying life on this planet as we know it. There is only one other global policy issue remotely comparable in terms of its impact on planetary survivability and that is climate change: but nuclear bombs can kill us a lot faster than CO2. Harry Truman (1884-1972) was the most influential person in the race for the super bomb. As President Roosevelt’s Vice President, he knew nothing about the development of the atomic bomb. But within months of assuming the office of President of the United States on April 12, 1945, he became the first and only American leader to authorize the use of atomic weapons against an enemy target. Truman’s era only marked the beginning of the race for nuclear weapons. The development of nuclear weapons is still an issue today, decades after Truman left office. Enrico Fermi (1901-1954) succeeded in splitting the uranium atom and the Nobel Committee later awarded him the 1938 prize for physics. At Columbia University in New York, Fermi realized that if neutrons are emitted in the fissioning of uranium then the emitted neutrons might proceed to split other uranium atoms, setting in motion a chain reaction that would release enormous amounts of energy.(1) Fermi had succeeded in taking one of the first steps to making an atomic bomb. A decade later on July 16, 1945, the U.S....

...(2010) viewed nuclear weapons in an explicit way. It posited that “Nuclear weapons are unique in their destructive power, in the unspeakable human suffering they cause, in the impossibility of controlling their effects in space and time, and in the threat they pose to the environment, to the future generation, and indeed to the survival of humanity.” Many other institutions such as the United Nations Organization and the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons have seconded this statement. Collectively, they are trying their best to convince people to support nuclear disarmament. Nuclear weapons have been used twice in warfare, on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. More than 210,000 innocent civilians died, while countless suffered acute injuries. Supposing that a nuclear weapon will never be used again, a tone of uncertainty, there are intolerable effects from production, testing and deployment of nuclear arsenals. In addition to warfare, nuclear power plant disasters pose an equal threat. On Wikipedia (n.d.), one can find a list of nuclear disasters and radioactive incidents worldwide. Lists of attacks on nuclear power plant, civilian nuclear...

...Three c’s of selling(informal method) In the advent of changing technology .new technologies come into use every day. Many of these sophisticated technologies and methods are too complicated for a normal customer to understand, this creates a confusion in the buyer to select the entity which best suits for his use. So comes the responsibility of the seller to make him/her understand that he has the particular entity which suits his purpose and makes the deal. One of these particular management methods that are in use in the present IT sector is three c’s of selling. this method involves taking the customer to the world he is dreaming about and make him understand that this product is something he requires. often this method is criticised by the public and also rated as unethical. Even the best world class companies which say “customer is the king” often follow this selling mechanism. 3 c’s 1. convince: this part of deal involves the process of negotiation .the end user will be presented with all the products in the arsenal and are made to compare each other .the seller would be explained about each and every component used in the product and how it works .the seller will try convincing the buyer that the has the exact product which the buyer requires with some minor adjustments. 2. Confuse: it the customer is not satisfied by the product and if he demands for more comparing it with more high end products of other companies. then the seller introduces confusion into...

...John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, "An unnecessary war," Foreign Policy, Jan/Feb 2003 In the full-court press for war with Iraq, the Bush administration deems Saddam Hussein reckless, ruthless, and not fully rational. Such a man, when mixed with nuclear weapons, is too unpredictable to be prevented from threatening the United States, the hawks say. But scrutiny of his past dealings with the world shows that Saddam, though cruel and calculating, is eminently deferrable. Should the United States invade Iraq and depose Saddam Hussein? If the United States is already at war with Iraq when this article is published, the immediate cause is likely to be Saddam's failure to comply with the new U.N. inspections regime to the Bush administration's satisfaction. But this failure is not the real reason Saddam and the united States have been on a collision course over the past year. The deeper root of the conflict is the U.S. position that Saddam must be toppled because he cannot be deterred from using weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Advocates of preventive war use numerous arguments to make their case, but their trump card is the charge that Saddam's past behavior proves he is too reckless, relentless, and aggressive to be allowed to possess WMD, especially nuclear weapons. They sometimes admit that war against Iraq might be costly, might lead to a lengthy U.S. occupation, and might complicate U.S. relations with other countries. But these concerns are eclipsed by the belief...
