...infringe on Charter 7 of the Charter and second of all, the misjudgment that the case Rodriguez v. BC was applicable to JL’s case. Considering the case of Rodriguez v. BC, it is important to understand the implications of Stare Decisis, in which a court can decide to follow preceding decisions made on similar cases . The defense would argue here that this case was on fundamental grounds not similar and, thus, not applicable to JL’s case. In Rodriguez v. BC, the appellant would not be able to end her life on herself, she wishes to create a framework in which an assessment can be made that enables her, or does not enable her, to end her life . Therefore, the central discussion of Rodriguez v. BC does in many ways not circle around the same issues as that of JL. The issue central to Rodriguez v. BC lies around the debate if Section 241.2 discriminates against people that are unable to end their lives themselves and is therefore unconstitutional, whereas JL’s case centers around the debate whether Section 241.2 infringes on Charter 7 by eliminating a part of JL’s personal freedom, discrimination was not of any debate.

...August 15, 1412 BC Well here I am, in the need of that Olive Tree. My life is more than chaotic and I need that peace. You would think that being in a land surrounded by rivers, I would find the peace and tranquility that I seek. Yet there is always a strife. I guess it could be bad like my friend, who had to pay to live here and be treated as an equal since she is not originally from here. She brought over a piece of bronze and told me to look at the shiny beam and always think of my life as such. That was a nice gesture. Friends are sometimes hard to come by. I struggled with the issue of feeling free. A lot of my people feel we should be free as long as we follow the laws of Greece. Not to mention in 508 BC we became one of the first cities to establish democracy. Thinking back over how I arrived at the time in life I am, I think back to my ancestors. I have been told they originated as early as 5000BCE. Maybe even 7000BCE. I know my life is little in comparison to theirs but not much has changed. Due to our location, the soil was not setup for large agriculture so my people had to rely heavily on trade. Thank goodness my husband was and original Athens. That affords us the luxury of not having to pay those darn taxes. He is a metal maker, who helped make weapons. But the thing that makes me mad is he gets to go out and vote and yet I am stuck here mainly in the house. And not to mention he gets to go to the Olympic Games. Always saying he wishes he were in the...

...HIS- Early Western Civilization 1 December 2009 A Look into the Life of Alexander the Great Today Alexander the Great is known as one of the greatest conquerors and warriors in history. He created the largest land empire in Western history second to Rome. Unlike modern generals, Alexander actually fought in battles. He usually led the troops himself, making him a hero to his men. He never lost a battle, though wounded a few times, and always successfully fought the battle. Alexander was born in Pella, Macedon on July 20, 356 BC. He was the son of Philip II, the King of Macedon and Philip's fourth wife Queen Olympias (Burgan, 16). After his birth his nurse, Lanike, raised Alexander. When Alexander was thirteen years old, his father decided that he needed a higher education and he began to search for a tutor. He chooses Aristotle to be his tutor, and agreed to rebuild his hometown of Stagira, which Philip has razed years earlier. From the age of 14 to 18, he studied military affairs and improved his horse riding skills. He also worked on his strength by wrestling and gymnastics (Wikipedia, 2). At the age of sixteen, his time with Aristotle came to an end. Philip had to go wage war against Byzantium and left Alexander as regent in charge of the kingdom. Under this role, Alexander was to serve as the head of the government while his father fought wars with the Greeks (Burgan, 25-26). During this time, a riot broke out in Macedonian. He assigned...

...Prehistory The settlement of humans in the Near East began with the movement of Homo erectus off the African continent roughly 2 million years ago during the Paleolithic period. Over the course of several thousand years, Homo erectus spread rapidly throughout the Near East and then into Europe and Southeast Asia. The first three phases of the Paleolithic period (Lower, Middle, and Upper) extend from roughly 2.5 million years BC through 14,000 BC. Each phase is defined by changes in human habitat, stone tool technology, and diet. During most of that time, humans lived in open-air campsites and in small natural caves. They hunted wild animals and fished, gathered wild plants, and wandered over a large geographic area. During the Epipaleolithic period, between 14,000 BC and 9000 BC, humans lived in circular or semi-circular structures called pit houses. These houses often had hearths and plaster floors and sometimes several pits were linked together to form various rooms. Plants and animals were domesticated in the Near East roughly between 11,000 and 6500 BC. By 9000 BC, modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) were...

...history, many say. Even though he was not the first emperor of Rome, becoming the emperor he showed all victories achieving it. He conquered many city-states and give the peoples much better lives. He started in Spain with great lessons he learned personally and for his career. But how would Caesar have lived in the 21st Century and are their any leaders alike nowadays? From early age, Caesar understood that Rome was corrupted in the 80’s BC and that he needed a network in the higher sits to prosper and become a leader. To achieve higher position he got in high debt by organizing events and bribed officials to make political friends. By the time he was 40 in 60 BC he had achieved the title of praetor (in Ancient Rome this was the positions as commander of one army) of the troops in Spain that was struggling until Caesar arrived. With a lot of hard work and learning experience of discovering his new talents, Caesar acknowledged to himself that war and victory is the path to money, power, and emperorship. In Plutarch, “I’d rather be first here than second in Rome” and “Don’t you think it’s sad that while Alexander was already ruling over a vast empire at such young age, I haven’t yet achieved anything remarkable (p.310-311)?” These statements show his drive to power and leadership with one goal of being number one. Thus, from some victorious battles in Spain Caesar paid all his debt and headed back to Rome for some more glory and fame. First thing Caesar achieves back in Rome...

...Roll-391, Section-B Date- 29April, 2014 CAREER MARKETING PLAN No matter what background one has, there is always at least one point in life where one has to take a decisive position as to what one wishes to do for one’s future. This becomes especially important when one is to start of one’s professional career. Such decisions may not give result exactly as expected by the person but planning about them well in advance certainly does hold an advantage. This report represents the path that I wish to take for my career or my future following graduating with an MBA. With an emphasis on my strengths and weaknesses especially those that differentiate me from my competing fellows and are important to my line, I have tried not only to see which line I would personally prefer to pursue but also the one which is more in congruence with my skill set. The major intent, however, is not to select a career path but rather to develop a marketing plan for my personal brand using systematic methods commonly used in regular commercial marketing as well. As a result, I have been able to know about my own interest as well as of the skills that I possess and those that I would need to develop based on who my target audience would be and what goals I have set in relation to my long term objectives. For this, I have analyzed a list of my strengths and weaknesses to see which field interests me most and...

...1.Introduction Relational database design theory is mainly based on a class of constraints called Functional Dependencies (FDs).FDs are a generalization of keys. This theory defines when a relation is in normal form (e.g., in Third Normal Form or 3NF) for a given set of FDs. It is usually a sign of bad DB design if a schema contains relations that violate the normal form requirements. If a normal form is violated, data is stored redundantly, and information about different concepts is intermixed. To reduce the redundancy in a given relation we need to decompose it in two or more sub relations . Decomposition into highest normal forms required maintaining properties like loss less join decomposition and dependency preserving decomposition. To normalize a relation R we have to remove certain dependencies that exist in it like partial dependency& transitive dependency. Basic definitions 1.1 Functional dependency: In a given table, an attribute Y is said to have a functional dependency on a set of attributes X (written X → Y) if and only if each X value is associated with precisely one Y value. For example, in an "Employee" table that includes the attributes "Employee ID" and "Employee Date of Birth", the functional dependency {Employee ID} → {Employee Date of Birth} would hold. It follows from the previous two sentences that each {Employee ID} is associated with precisely one {Employee Date of Birth}. 1.2 Trivial functional dependency A trivial functional dependency...

...row planting, deep drilling, and toilet paper and so on. Within those eight to ten inventions, I will choose four that I believe are the most innovative. Row Planting (Feudal period – 6th Cent BC) The Chinese started planting crops in rows sometime in the 6th century BC. This allows the crops to grow stronger and faster. It facilitates more planting, weeding, harvesting and watering. There is also documentation that they realize that as wind travels over the rows of plants there is less damage. This obvious development was not instituted in the western world for another 2200 years. (Steven H 2009) Compass (Feudal period – 4th Cent BC) The Chinese developed a lodestone compass to indicate direction sometime in the 4th century BC. These compasses were south pointing and primarily used on land as divination tools and direct finders. Written in the 4th century BC, in the Book of the Devil Valley Master it is written: “lodestone makes iron come or attracts it”. The spoons were made of lodestone, while the plates were of bronze. Thermo-remanence needles were being produced for mariners by the year 1040, with common use recorded by 1119. Thermo-remanence technology, still used today was discovered by William Gilbert in about 1600. (Steven H 2009) The Seed Drill (Han Dynasty: circa 220 BC – 220 AD) The seed drill is used to plant seeds in the soil at a uniform depth and covers it. Without this tool seeds are tossed by hand over the ground resulting in waste,...

...also during our ancient past. The Sumerians and the Egyptians are two cultures, from our past, that have accomplished these feats. The Sumerian ziggurats and Egyptian pyramids have some similarities and differences. The ziggurats and the pyramids have some similarities. They are both examples of the massive structures that were built in support of their cultural or religious beliefs. They were both built with a great deal of manpower with no use of any big machinery that we are familiar with today. Their society's leaders commissioned in building these massive structures were: the king of the Sumerian civilization for the ziggurats and the pharaoh of the Egyptian civilization for the pyramids. Their similarities pretty much ends here. At a closer look, the ziggurats and the pyramid had many differences. The pharaohs, in preparation for his death, built the pyramids as place for his tomb and his priced possessions and servers (to ensure that his needs are met in the afterlife) and also for his queen. It is said that the pharaoh ruled in the authority of the God and that the pyramid would help him ascend to the Gods. The Sumerian king had the ziggurats built for use as a place for worship, like a temple, for the Sumerian society. One story also suggest that the king wanted the ziggurat to be high enough so that the top can reach sky or the heavens, thus giving him an aura of being God. In addition, the ziggurat, on the top level, had a shrine called "cella," used...

...BCS system During the fall semester college students all over the nation have something to look forward to, and that thing is college football. College football is the second most popular sport watched in the U.S. Here at Virginia Tech college football is what I like to call a big deal. They have sold out every home gave for the past few years and have won 10 games 7 years in a row which currently is the longest streak in the nation. With such success Virginia Tech has been able to go to high profile bowl games such as the Orange bowl, Peach bowl, Gator bowl, and Sugar bowl but still is searching for their first National Championship. Though Tech usually struggles early in the year and slips up a game or two they have been known to finish strong. The one or two games that they lose hurt their chances of going to the national title game which is frustrating for not only Virginia Tech but other teams that are similar. The BCS chooses the two teams who gets to play for the crystal ball; which is the trophy for winning the national championship game. Although the current Bowl Championship Series gives us a national champion, it doesn’t necessarily give us the nation’s best team. The BCS sets up a two team playoff for the title. However, if the national champion ends undefeated, there could also be one or more other undefeated teams from the other BCS bowls. In no other sport, does the season end with more than one “perfect” team. It is not in the interest of college football fans...
