...American that has registered to vote or has a drivers license can at any time be called to serve on a jury. There are mixed feelings about being called for duty. Some Americans see it as a nuisance that will disrupt their lives. Others see it as an opportunity to serve their country. Being called to serve, and actually serving is two different matters. A jury is ultimately selected by the judge, prosecutor and defending attorney. How they are they picked? How are they released? Maybe this paper will answer a few of these questions. The selection of a jury is the process that occurs right before the actual trial, and after the trial initiation and the arraignment and plea. Only about 10 percent of actual arraignments see an actual trial, because 90 percent of cases that are preparing for trial end up accepting a plea bargain (Schmalleher, 2009). Any one who is accused of a crime and will stand trial is allowed by the Sixth Amendment the right to an impartial jury. For a jury to be impartial, it is not always true that they have no prior knowledge of the case at all. In the case of a highly publicized trial, it can be almost impossible to find 12 people who know nothing about the case at hand or the accused. Some jurors will be excused based on how suitable they are judged to be for the case, and some may be excused because of reasons beyond their control (Schmalleger, 2009). I have been called to serve jury duty one time in my life. At the time I had 2 small children at home,...

...Float Serve…………………………………………..1 Topspin Serve……………………………………....2 Jump Serve…………………………………………..3 Overhand Serve…………………………………….4 Underhand Serve…………………………………..5 Power Serve………………………………………….6 Float Serve A float serve or a floater is a serve that does not spin. It is called a floater because it moves in unpredictable ways making it difficult to pass. A float serve catches the air and can move unexpectedly to the right or the left or it can drop suddenly. Topspin Serve A topspin serve does exactly that – spins rapidly forward from the top. The server tosses the ball a little higher, strikes the ball towards the top of the back in a down and outward motion and follows through with his or her swing. This serve has a much more predictable movement, but can be difficult to handle because of its quick speed. Jump Serve A jump serve utilizes an even higher toss that should be several feet in front of the server. The server uses more of an attack approach, jumps and strikes the ball in the air. The extra motion allows the server to put even more power on the ball and this can make for a very difficult serve to handle. The drawback is that all that extra motion can lead to a higher incidence of serving errors. Most jump serves have topspin on them, but it is possible to jump serve a floater. Overhand Serve A serve in which the player tosses the ball with one hand and strikes in the air above her head. Underhand Serve A serve in which...

...In 2017, I made it to the tennis state quarterfinals, my proudest accomplishment to date. There were many factors that contributed to my success, but the main one was my serve. As a child, I used to serve for fun, but I never learned the proper technique. However, as I grew older and continued to play tennis, I discovered what worked for me and what did not. Through this trial and error process, I have found a technique that meets all the tennis match requirements, giving me the ability to compete for every point. This technique makes up a successful serve. The best part is that it only takes three simple steps to execute. I execute a successful serve by positioning my body correctly, tossing the ball in the right location, and maximizing...

...the rally; or (2): a team commits a fault and loses the rally. The team that wins the rally is awarded a point, and serves the ball to start the next rally. A few of the most common faults include: * Causing the ball to touch the ground outside the opponents' court or without first passing over the net; * Catching and throwing the ball; * Double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player; * Four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team. * Net foul: touching the net during play. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body. History On February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts (USA), William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director, created a new game called Mintonette as a pastime to be played preferably indoors and by any number of players. The game took some of its characteristics from tennis and handball. Another indoor sport, basketball, was catching on in the area, having been invented just ten miles (sixteen kilometers) away in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts, only four years before. Mintonette was designed to be an indoor sport less rough than basketball for older members of the YMCA, while still requiring a bit of athletic effort. The first rules, written down by William G Morgan, called for a net 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) high, a 25×50...

...legal psychology and correctional psychology. · Legal psychology Legal psychology is the study of human behavior relevant to the law. This subspecialty of forensic psychology consists of those theories that describe, explain and predict human behavior by reference to the law. Bartol & Bartol (2012) described that early in a case when attorneys are preparing for a trial and gathering information psychologist can be called in to testify. Main roles of a forensic psychologist in the USA includes, acting as a consultant to law enforcement, acting as trial consultants (jury selection, case preparation and pre-trial publicity), presenting psychology to appeal courts, doing forensic assessment and acting as an expert witness (insanity defense, competence to stand trial, sentencing, eyewitness identification and child custody etc.) Expert witness as a role in legal psychologist A major role for forensic psychologist is to serve as an expert witness in both the criminal and civil court. They are more commonly involve at the pretrial and post-trial proceedings, but may also serve as an expert witness at trial (Bartol & Bartol, 2012:151). Genis (2008) defines an expert witness as...

...recent months many new single-serve coffee brewers have come to market in the United States. These new competitors are offering consumers many new choices and variations of a single-serve coffee brewers. In turn, this is stepping up pressure Keurig to keep up with its competitors and the markets demand. The three competitors that pose the biggest threat to Keurig are Bunn’s MyCafé unit, Starbucks’ Verismo unit, and the Esio beverage system which is backed by Wal-Mart. In October Bunn, a leading commercial beverage equipment producer, launched its home version of its single-serve coffee machine called MyCafé. Unfortunately for Keurig, the MyCafé is the first to capitalize on the expiration of Keurig’s patent on its k-cup technology. The MyCafé will be able to brew both regular ground coffee and K-Cups. Also, it is able to brew tea bags as well as loose leaf tea which a Keurig brewer cannot. Bunn's new MyCafé system will cost $159.99. Aimee Markelz Tracy, senior vice president of Bunn's home products division has stated "We tried to make it as universal as possible so that people, however they want to brew their single cup, can do that in a high-quality way" (Geller). The MyCafé will be sold at Lowe's stores nationwide and select Bon-Ton and Dillards stores. With the MyCafé being able to brew all the unique flavors that are offered through k-cups it poses a serious threat to Keurig. In September Starbucks will enter the market of single-serve coffee brewers with the launch...

...The Skeletal System The Skeletal System serves many important functions; it provides the shape and form for our bodies in addition to supporting, protecting, allowing bodily movement, producing blood for the body, and storing minerals. Functions Its 206 bones form a rigid framework to which the softer tissues and organs of the body are attached. Vital organs are protected by the skeletal system. The brain is protected by the surrounding skull as the heart and lungs are encased by the sternum and rib cage. Bodily movement is carried out by the interaction of the muscular and skeletal systems. For this reason, they are often grouped together as the musculo-skeletal system. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. Bones are connected to each other by ligaments. Where bones meet one another is typically called a joint. Muscles which cause movement of a joint are connected to two different bones and contract to pull them together. An example would be the contraction of the biceps and a relaxation of the triceps. This produces a bend at the elbow. The contraction of the triceps and relaxation of the biceps produces the effect of straightening the arm. Blood cells are produced by the marrow located in some bones. An average of 2.6 million red blood cells are produced each second by the bone marrow to replace those worn out and destroyed by the liver. Bones serve as a storage area for minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. When an excess is present in the blood...

...results in fats being a more concentrated source of energy than carbohydrates. Most of the energy from fats is provided by a class of lipids called triglycerides. These are lipids that are made up of two components i.e. Glycerol (a trihydric alcohol and fatty acid). Fatty Acids Almost all naturally occurring lipids yield fatty acids on hydrolysis. Some yield only one fatty acid per molecule while others may yield as many as three fatty acids. In other words, fatty acids are the building blocks of lipids. Fatty acids are compounds that are composed of an even numbered carbon chain of from about 4-20 carbon atoms in the length. They have a single carboxyl group and a long hydro-carbon chain which is the one responsible for the oily nature of the lipids. The long hydrocarbon chain is said to be hydrophobic because of its non-polar characteristics while the carboxyl end is said to be hydrophilic because it is polar (negatively charged). Fatty acids with no double bonds in their structural are called Saturated fatty acids and they include: Butryric acid (Butatonoic acid C-4) Caproic acid (Hexanoic C-6) Capric acid (Octanoic acid C-8) Fatty acids are named on the basis of hydrocarbon from which they are derived. The saturated fatty acids end with a suffix anoic (e.g. octanoic – 8c). fatty acids with double bonds are called unsaturated fatty acids and they have the suffix –enoic e.g. octadenoic. Saturated Fatty Acids The general formula of saturated fatty acids...

...cable can have more than 20 twists per foot). The twists serve to cancel out the electromagnetic interference that the transmission of electrical signal though the pairs generates. Shielded Twisted Pair – A type of twisted-pair cable in which the pairs are enclosed in an outer braided shield, although individual pairs may also be shielded. The pairs in STP cable have an individual shield, and the individual shielded cables are wrapped in an overall shield. The advantage of STP cable over UTP cable is that there is less attenuation at higher frequencies and is less susceptible to EMI. Fiber-Optic Cable – Fiber-optic cable uses a strand of glass or plastic to transmit data signals using light; the data is carries in light pulses. Unlike UTP/STP, the transmission techniques are not electrical in nature. Plastic-core is easier to install than traditional glass core, but plastic cannot carry data as far as glass. Dark Fiber – When telecommunication companies first run the fiber-optic cable, they don’t run the exact number of strands that they need. They install two to three times as much as they require. The spare strands of fiber are called dark fiber because they are not in use. The Dark Fiber usually lease out these lines to other companies. Coaxial Cable – Also called coax cable. When it was invented in 1929 it was mainly used by the phone companies; today it’s mainly used for cable TV and by older Ethernet. It is called coaxial cable because it has a...
