...In Kentucky a man shot a dog in the face, the dog already emaciated lost his lower jaw to the gunshot wound, he will serve a maximum 5 year sentence but will still be able to own another animal in the future and is not required to have any counseling. In Colorado a man videotaped himself drowning and strangling a 12 week old kitten and later sent a text mentioning “…that’s why killing is addictive. I haven’t had that high in so long, and I’m pissed it’s already over” he will serve 2 years 3 months with no counseling. In WV a dog was found skinned and its front paws cut off, while the suspects are unknown, if caught they would serve a maximum of 5 years and would have to wait 15 years before owning another pet according to state law. In some states all of these acts would result in a maximum 1 year sentence with no counseling required and no ban on pet ownership. You only need to remember a time where you accidently stepped on the tail of an animal to know that they feel pain, now imagine these acts happening to your own pet and that the person responsible would be back on the street in a year with no counseling and could one day own another animal to realize that the punishment was not harsh...

...A poem that is at bottom of The Statue of Liberty reads: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door” (Lazarus)! In the past, America was welcoming to all who wanted to be here. Today, America does not want “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” (Lazarus). This is because of the threat that possible immigrants could create. However, it is in the best interests of immigrants to come to America when there are unsafe situations in their former countries. One of the ways that prospective immigrants gain their visas to the United States is the Green Card Lottery....

...As an average teen, some would walk home after school and relax. How would you spend your time? Perhaps you have responsibilities that needs to be taken care of? Well that sounds like the similar situation I am dealing with in my present-day life. After school, I must tend to all of my many responsibilities.

...World of Science Science can be found all around you, everything you look at contains some aspect of science within it. Tracy K. Smith uses her poems to draw our attention towards the science used in everyday life. Throughout her book of poems Life on Mars she uses mystical beings or characters to help portray the science around us. Smith starts off the book with a poem called “Sci-Fi” (pg7); having science plainly in the name of the poem she gets the point across that the poem does involve science. With science already in the mind of the reader Smith is able to make any connection she wants in science and literature. This poems focus is on history and the future; “History, with its hard spine & dog-eared Corners, will be replaced with nuance, Just like that dinosaurs gave way To mounds and mounds of ice. Women will still be women, but The distinction will be empty. Sex Having outlived every threat, will gratify Only the mind, which is where it will exist.” where Smith captures the reader’s attention with talking about how dinosaurs once ruled the earth but were wiped extinct by the ice age, and the fact that global warming has taken spotlight in today’s news saying that we will need to come up with a elucidation or we, like the dinosaurs, will become extinct as well. In the poem Smith shares the idea in which scientists have been trying to figure out for years now, finding a livable planet for Earth to inhabit once living conditions become too harsh for...

...1.Search Strategies are important in narrowing down your field, and to determine that you get the correct search parameters that you are looking for. There are numerous strategies that can be used to research literature online using the PsycINFO database. The best way to start a search is to determine the specific research questions in order to guide the search, using key terms and parameters. It is also important to determine all synonyms, alternate terminology and any word variations to narrow your search. The use of Boolear Operations such as the words; “and”, “or” will change the search results. Using the word “and” between each search term will give results that contain all the search terms, where using the word “or” between search terms will give results that contain at least one of the search terms. Focusing your search using limiters such as the document type, methodology, publication type and year are helpful search strategies to use in conjunction with the afore mentioned strategies. Using a variety of search strategies is important to limit your search to make it as efficient and effective as possible. When I first started the basic search I used the words pet ownership, beneficial, and health. The search options I used were to find any of my search terms, publication year 2005-2015, and English. This search generated 572 116 results. There were too many results to determine the relevance of these search results. I then used a basic search again using all the...

...to view a portion of your future, past or present life. They rely on reading the person in front of them and the energy that is not viewable to others to give their visitors what they believe they have come for. Mediums use clairaudience to mentally hear (faculty of perceiving by sound), clairvoyance to see (faculty of perceiving things), claircognizance to know (psychic knowledge) and clairsentience to feel (psychic feelings only the medium feels) messages from spirits. Being discussed in this paper are many famous psychic mediums like Theresa Caputo, James Van Praagh and Craig Hamilton-Parker. Some may argue that physic mediums are frauds, while some may argue that their powers are entirely real. In my opinion, human ignorance can overpower reality. As stated prior, many believe that physic mediums are deceptive, as they could easily give an inquirer a very brief message about their future or loved one that may apply to many. However, those who visit a medium and are given these general messages that apply may from then on have an unrelenting faith in their ability. Although there may be no scientific way to prove that their claim is accurate or not, if their declarations do not fall drastically short of the truth, the individual receiving their message would not feel the need to disprove them. How did they find these things out? Who told them? And why are they telling you? Therefore, people that make general enough claims cannot be proven right nor can they be proven wrong...

...Abstract “Skill in the art of communication is crucial to a leader's success. He can accomplish nothing unless he can communicate effectively” (Thinkexist, 2011, Para 4). How many times have students walked into a classroom and the teacher starts off with something like this “Good morning class, today’s lecture will start on slide one and end with slide 75 with any questions.” Then to the student’s worst fear, the teacher reads every word on each slide and elaborates on each sentence. After slide number 10, the only thing all the students are thinking about is break, or maybe what they might wear on Friday night, regardless of what they might be thinking, it’s not about the lecture anymore. This is the breakdown in communication between generations because technology, different cultures within the workplace which has created a more diverse and technological savvy students who need more stimulation in a classroom environment compared to years past. Introduction Communication in the workplace has gradually become more advanced and has created the missing links between cross cultural bridges that once hindered globalization.

The criteria for communication to be an effective tool in the workplace, she will differentiate between the types of audiences, and the criteria for communication to be used effectively. Last,...

...Unit 1 When we manipulate expressions and equations, we realize that there are basic properties that govern what we can and can't do. One of those properties is the Commutative Property. Let's consider this property in our discussion. Is there a commutative property of subtraction? In other words, does order matter when subtracting? Why or Why not? Please provide an example to explain your reasoning. Please share any trick or mnemonic device to help you recall what this property is or how to use it. There is no Commutative Property in subtraction. Yes order does matter subtracting, you can not subtract a larger number from a smaller number, such as: 3-6 = this subtraction can not be done but if you turn it around and subtract the smaller number from the larger number it will work: 6 -3 = 3. In all the properties you can not use subtraction or division, just addition and multiplication. Unit 2 As we know, a set is just a collection of objects that are similar in some way, like a gaggle of geese, pride of lions, or an army of ants. To further classify our world, we can create subsets from a larger set. Let's consider the idea of a subset for our discussion. • Give an example of a subset and a proper subset. Explain the difference between a subset and proper subset. • Can any set be a proper subset of itself? Give an example of why or why not. A = {Lions, Tigers, Jaguar} B={Lions, Tigers, Leopard, Cheetah, Jaguar} *Everything that is in A is in set B therefore it...

...help during World War II. Today the council produces over 35 campaign promoting important environmental, education, family preservation and anti-drinking issues. The council has several iconic advertising characters that have played an indispensable part to the council’s success; Smokey the Bear and McGruff the Crime Dog. The return on investment (ROI) refers to measuring how effectively a company’s advertising will reach their market and achieve a certain profit in comparison to the amount of effort and capital required to so. Companies want to receive the highest ROI possible(28-29,37-38). We have gone from simple ads in print, to radio commercials, to TV commercials and now the internet. The price of commercials has risen and a large percentage of print ads have been replaced with internet ads. Because of the many changes that have taken place within advertising and media there is no longer a consistent model for determining audience value across the vast communication vehicles we currently use for advertising today. Since each communication outlet has its own challenge for measuring its audience response, the ROI has become difficult to assess or predict. There is also the concern that the emphasis on short-term audience involvement may devalue the long term values of advertising which would affect the brand value since, brand building is a continuing process that often takes years to accomplish. Brand equity is the value that has been placed on a product or service...
