...Detective Dakota and The B-Bomb Scene One ! “Finally.” I said sighing with relief. The plane roared as it took it’s first steps into the sky. “It seems we are a little late, should I push tomorrows meeting to the day after?” said Mya Slava, my assistant. “No, I shall arrive on time. Wake me with my coffee two sugars and one milk Mya.” I mumbled sleepily. We had been at the Manchester airport for six hours before we got out flight and I was just about tired out. I had checked my pager then blacked out.! ! “Your coffee sir.” Mya hands me my coffee. I take a sip and scald my throat with the hot rich brown liquid. “I’m so sorry sir!” Mya exclaimed. She reached for some napkins and patted the coffee droplets away. I did not like the fact that I had been transferred to America. Tensions were high everywhere and being in one of the most populated states in a very hated country did not help my nerves. “Have a new suit brought to me freshly pressed Mya” I didn't mean to always be so bossy and harsh to the girl but she must learn early that being methodical and precise has its advantages. I paced around the room, my face a mask of curiosity, why had I been transferred here, I was doing just fine back in England. My lab needs me and there are no particular reasons I am aware of, that dictated the movement of Mya and myself. ! ! Fiorello H. LaGuardia Airport is not the most pleasant place. It combines many things that I find to make situations quite grueling. The bustled activity...

...Race Relations in The United States A Brief History Slavery begins in the southern B.N.A. colonies (now 1600’s known as the United States. As people come to the new world and begin large scale agriculture, they realize that they need a large, cheap workforce to work in the cotton and rice fields. They begin to purchase African slaves from slave traders. - 1776 Slavery is widespread and widely accepted in the 1600’s United States. Whites are given absolute power and authority over black slaves. (white men could not be held accountable for killing a black servant) white people believed that blacks were naturally inferior and were not capable of rational thought,theref ore should be treated as animals. - The colonies fought for and gained independence from 1776 Britain and became the United States of America. The newly formed country issued “The Declaration of Independence.” This document made it illegal for citizens to buy and sell slaves. However, although the Declaration outlawed the salve trade, slavery did not stop. Those still owning slaves could continue to practice slavery. - Conditions of A Slave: -Most slaves were given very little in the way of food or clothing by their masters. -Slaves worked long hours with very few breaks. -Slaves were often bought and sold and families were broken up. -Slaves who refused to comply with all orders were beaten and punished cruelly. 1836 The American Civil War ended with the Emancipation Proclamation.

...1. The Industrial Revolution was a period of time between the mid 18th century and the mid 19th century where dramatic and unprecedented changes happened in the English society. A feature that characterised this period in time included the introduction of new technologies which in turn caused social and economic issues. The Industrial Revolution made leaps and bounds in technological development. These technologies emerged between the 18th and 19th century, As England began to drift towards machine-based manufacturing. The introduction of steam power, the catalyst of the Industrial Revolution, led to steam machines being implemented in a wide array of machinery. Steam power replaced manual labour due to its cost efficiency, and this in turn developed into my next feature; transformation of English society. The technological innovation brought about in the British industrial revolution also brought about rapid social transformation. Population boomed as people flocked to urban centres to search for work. The working classes had to live in destitute conditions while children were forced to work. These changes in social realities created pressure for political change as well, with demands for labour rights and equality. Technological transformation in the Industrial Revolution also caused the economic development happening in England. With mass-industrialisation came an unprecedented growth in the economy of Great Britain, fostered by the development of steam machines...

...FOCAL LENGTH OF A LENS AIM: The aim of this experiment is to determine the focal length (f) of a convex lens by two methods. YOU WILL NEED: A 10 cm focal length bi-convex lens, lens holder, screen (a wooden block with a white painted side is ideal), ruler, light source (mounted clear bulb), power supply suitable for the lamp. An optical bench is ideal if one is available. WHAT TO DO: (a) Minimum distance method Set up the lamp, lens and screen so that a clear image of the lamp filament is formed on the screen. Measure the object and image distances (u and v). Repeat the experiment for a series of values over the range u+v = 45 cm to 100 cm. ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION: Plot a graph of u+v against u. The minimum point on the graph is at a point u+v = 4f, u = 2f (b) Two position method Set up the lamp, lens and screen 0.6m apart. Find the TWO positions where a clearly focused image of the lamp may be obtained. (one of these will give a large image and the other a small image). Measure the separation of lamp and screen (d) and the distance between the two positions of the lens (a) Repeat the procedure for other values of d between 0. 5m and 1m ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION: The focal length of the lens may be calculated from the formula: f = [d2 – a2]/4d ----------------------- a v2 d u1 2...

Addarren has been an American citizen for 15 years. What inspired you to become a U.S. Citizen? Addarren: When I was younger, I would listen to my family talking about how America has a good economy and how Americans have great lives. So I decided that I would go to the states when I get old enough. What steps did you have to take as part of the naturalization process? A: I had to take a Citizenship test. I also had to learn how to speak English, but, I had already learned English at a young age. I had to do a fingerprint stamp, and answer questions about my personal background. And after all that I had to pledge my loyalty to America. How would you describe how you felt about the process? A: I was nervous, but, I was more excited than nervous. How has gaining citizenship changed your life? Is your daily life different because of gaining citizenship? A: It changed my life, but it was pretty hard in the beginning. You know finding a good job and all that. But eventually it all worked out and now im doing good, so yeah my daily life is different now. Do you feel the process was worthwhile?

...Hvad handler visen om? Agnete og Havmanden handler om en ung pige, Der bliver startet med at man præsentere Agnete som ganger på højlands bro. Agnete møder en havmand, der spørger om hendes hånd. Agnete følger med ham til hans hjem under havet, hvor hun bor der i otte år sammen med havmanden og de 7 sønner de sammen har fået. Men en dag hører Agnete kirkeklokkerne ringe, og hun opdager, at hun længes efter kirken, hendes familie, og i det hele taget det liv hun havde efterladt på landjorden. Hun spørger havmanden om hun må få lov til at gå kirke, og han siger at det må hun godt, så længe hun lover at komme tilbage til sine børn igen (anden version, hun må ikke slå håret ud, bøje sig for præsten eller sidde ved siden af sin mor). Det lover Agnete, men da hun kommer op i kirken, overholder hun intet af det. Hun taler med sin mor, og fortæller om, hvor hun har været i alle de år, og om de fine ting havmanden har foræret hende. I samme øjeblik kommer han gående ind gennem kirkedøren, og beder hende om at komme med tilbage til havet, da hendes børn savner hende. Hun afslår, og havmanden tilbyder hende 12 tønder guld for at følge med. Dette afslår Agnete også, og han må tage tilbage til havet alene. Folkeviser: Ikke skrevet af en forfatter, men er opstået ved, at folk har fortalt historierne videre. Viserne har derfor af og til forskellige versioner.

...SUNDAY 13TH FEBRUARY, 1965 We arrived to the Home of the Wiradjuri people, Wellington. The bus trip was about one hour and the scenery was AMAZING! During the ride as a group we discussed about what we wanted to achieve and it was clear that the majority of us aimed to bring attention to the poor state and lack of Aboriginal health, their houses and the children’s education. I had a chat with Bob Gallagher and David Pepper (two of my good friends right now) and we felt that we strongly wanted to minimize the socially discriminated barriers which existed between the Aboriginals and the whites. Personally for me, this whole ‘Freedoms Riders’ hasn’t fully sunk into my head yet. Who knew at the age of nineteen, I would be given the chance to help make a change, so I guess this is a massive step for me, if not all of us. The first thing I noticed was that the town was overcrowded and congested. A large amount of the kids had eye diseases and the ground was three-quarters mud. The houses were made out of tin and the river was dirty and contaminated. I know I am a man but a few tears had slipped into my eyes seeing all this. It isn’t fair for these people to be here, especially these children. I thought the conditions in Orange were bad, but this was way worse. More people really need to get out here and see this for themselves. We conducted surveys with the Indigenous and non-indigenous people to find out what they thought about these living conditions. I could see that the racial...

Habang kumekembot ang bewang, Mga hikaw na gumegewang Gamit ang pulbos na binili kay Aling Bebang Upang matakpan ang mga pasa sa mukha Na galing sa aking ama Na tila di natutuwa sa tuwing ako'y nasisilayan Laging nalalatayan, Sa paglipas ng panahon ay di ko namamalayan Na imbes na tumigas ay tila lalong lumambot Ang puso kong mapagmahal Parang pilikmatang kulot. [Ebe Dancel] Ako'y isang sirena Kahit anong sabihin nila ako ay ubod ng ganda Ako'y isang sirena Kahit anong gawin nila bandera ko'y di tutumba Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid Naglalakihang mga braso, saki'y dumidikdik Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid Sa patagalan ng paghinga, sa'kin kayo ay bibilib [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/gloc_9/sirena.html ] [Gloc 9] Hanggang sa naging binata na ako Teka muna mali, dalaga na pala 'to Pero bakit parang lahat ay nalilito...

...The leaves are turning brown again. Cool and brisk, the wind blows up the torn sweater the old man wears. Visibly shaking and uncertain of his surroundings, he’s a husk of his former self. His eyes dilate, his face is melting. Literally melting. He collapses into a small dirty heap, his eyes shut and a final breath escapes his lips. A young boy walks by and asks for money, he too broke and dirty. Another shows up and prods his silent corpse. This is where our story begins. Set in Detroit, MI during the great recession, it’s a story based on the collapse of the withering economic catastrophe known as the Automotive Industry. I would like to ask for a possibility to build a film around the concept of the desolation felt in that town and of this place. But with only $500 in hand and an old VHS video recorder, there’s only so much I can create with these limited resources. It’ll be set in front of a Party Plus Market Off of Wyoming St, an area of town notorious for its high and violent crime rate. Its daring for sure, but I wish to capture the true feeling of a desperate environment in one of the most violent and crime riddled cities in America. If there’s a chance to negotiate an advance of at least $1000 to put towards filming expenses, it’d be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. EXT. LIQUOR STORE: It’s dark outside.
