...Conclusion A. Life is short B. Stop at nothing Life Lessons My life has been a series hard times with glimpses of a silver lining. It started out with the rough edges that come along with growing up in a dysfunctional household. I quickly moved from one dysfunction to an adulthood filled with greater issues. I married my childhood sweetheart, and then our lives crumbled following the death of my son. I picked myself back up again, and found my strength and purpose from the example my son laid forth. I am a mother again, and I am facing a new set of challenges that military life brings. Life is like the ever-changing seasons with its ups and downs, but there is always a summer. Beginning with my hard start at life, to where I am now, I have learned many lessons. I grew up in an extremely dysfunctional household, but with the support of my siblings I made it through. In my early years, my father suffered from drug addiction and alcoholism. After attending rehabilitation, my family still continued to struggle with the lasting effects that his addictions created. We moved from the house I grew up in to a small community outside the city to create a new beginning. I have many fond memories of my childhood, and I began as a charismatic child. Dancing and singing filled my early years, but as home life became more chaotic I began to withdraw. My older sister and younger...

...The start of 2006 was the worst newyears I have ever had. On new years my friends gave me a piece of paper that said in colorful writing “Good luck at Woodchester Cynthia!” The next day, with all my belongings packed, my dad drove me 13 miles to my aunt's house. I had never been there before and I always wondered why. My dad said she had cancer but when I walked in the small two story home, a strong smell of cigar smoke hit me in the face. I waved good bye to my dad who was driving away and my aunt led me to my new room in silence. She said in a grouchy voice, “this is your new room, hope you enjoy, or don’t, either way I don’t care. Be up at 5 every school morning to go to school. Pack your lunch and dinner is at 6:30pm. You miss it too bad....

...through the neighborhood at night, whenever they felt like walking to get some fresh air, thanks to the police. The policing throughout the city and in the neighborhood s made citizens feel safe, people were not afraid to leave their homes and sit outside on their front porches. However, as time began to change the world, policing changed as well. In this paper this author will evaluate the past, present and future trends in the interface between components of the criminal justice system and criminal justice connections with surrounding society which involves policing in the United States of America. Sometimes it’s better to let the things in the past, stay in the past but not when it comes to policing, back in the late 1800s and early 1900s police made people feel safe within their community. Police officers would walk the streets patrolling the neighborhood, standing on street corners talking to the neighbors in the community and actually getting to know the people who they help protect. That was when citizens and police officers actually knew each other on a first name basis, when citizens felt police officers cared about them and what went on in their community. During this era citizens felt safer and had a better relationship with the police but as time went on and technology got better the relationship that was developed between...

...1905 merger of Fußballverein Hannovera 1898 Hannover and Hannoverscher BV) to become Hannoverscher Sportverein 1896. Hannoverscher FC's colours were black-white-green, but they played in blue, while BV played in red. The newly united team kept black-white-green as the club colours, but they chose to take to the field in red, giving the team the nickname Die Roten (en: The Reds). The team's third jersey is in the club's official colours. The club made regular appearances in the national playoffs through the early 1900s, but were unable to progress past Eintracht Braunschweig, planting the seeds of a rivalry that has survived to this day. HSV continued to field strong sides and make national level appearances on into the 1920s. Under the Third Reich, German football was re-organized into 16 top-flight leagues in 1933 and Hannover became part of the Gauliga Niedersachsen. They appeared in the country's final rounds in 1935 and sent representatives to the national side the next year. They won their first national championship in 1938 in what was one of the biggest upsets in German football history when they beat Schalke 04, the most dominant side in the country in the era. The two sides played to a 3:3 draw before Hannover prevailed 4:3 in a tension filled re-match. In 1942, the team moved to the newly formed Gauliga Braunschweig-Südhannover. Post-War era[edit] Like most other German...

...Putting your Field to Bed It is that time of year again, the days are short and turf growth has finally stopped after another long season. Most turf managers have moved indoors and are spending time with their families. In the back of our minds, we all are hoping for a mild winter and quick green-up in the spring. As Dave Minner once said, “If you are darn glad the fall season is over and you don’t want to see that field until next year, then expect it to look like a pasture because you are treating it like one.” For spring sports, especially soccer and baseball this would be an enormous mistake. How the fields are left going into winter is the best-case scenario, come March. The field does not simply improve over winter; it only has the potential for further deterioration. Spring conditions can often be too wet to core, seed, or topdress before the spring playing season begins. Putting your field to bed in the fall will help it wake up ready to go in the spring. Football Overseeding your field throughout and after the season will increase your stand going into the next season. Adding Kentucky bluegrass and/or perennial ryegrass even as late as mid-November can go a long way to improving a damaged field. Spread seed over the high traffic areas and allow players to cleat...

...Since we are so young and very much naive we never visualize the trials and sacrifices to come. If you told me when I was twelve and sneaking around my father’s cramped East Chicago apartment looking at his many exotic movies. I would have several experiences with early pregnancy before I was nineteen I could not have believed you. That my freshman year of high school I would have unprotected sex with my stepfather’s granddaughter upstairs in my sister’s room on the floor. And lure her into this act a bundle of times before my sophomore year in high school. One night as I wait till everyone falls asleep as usual whenever she comes over. To finally get her alone in my sister’s room on their floor. I reach my goal as expected she never made it hard for me, and in some way I want to thank her. Creeping hoping not to make too much noise, my parents would do what only God knows. Stopping for any sounds because the fear a” Thud” of footsteps coming up stairs brings would have practically sent me into shock. I remember how she moaned so slight just enough to let me know that she enjoyed the love I gave. And I returned the favor by continuing to give. It got to the point where it felt as if I was about to arrive and when it came time to pull out I did not know if I had released inside her. And for the next few months I was a very troubled teenager. I would not go a day without thinking a call would come through and deliver the news that I impregnated my Stepfather’s granddaughter and how...

...When it comes to personal health and illness rarely do we link cultural traditions and beliefs as the culprit. Typically our society views health and illness as a cause and effect subject. If we get sick it is because our body encountered something that it could not stave off. If we are healed it is because we were able to treat a specific illness with the appropriate cure. Our society does not take into consideration external factors such as cultural traditions and beliefs as causes or cures to today’s health issues. While it may be true that many health issues can be directly correlated to specific circumstances, there exists a deeper fundamental reason why we get sick and how we maintain our health. At least a part of that reason is our belief system and our belief system is formed by our culture and traditions, therefore it only makes sense that our cultures and beliefs directly impact our health. Proof that beliefs and traditions have an impact on health can be found in the interviews of the two subjects discussed in this paper. Although not the same beliefs and traditions are present in both interviews, both interviews show a direct link between the beliefs gained from culture and tradition that existed within that individual’s generational era and the impact of those beliefs on the long term health of that individual. The first interviewee, Jerry, is a 76 year old male currently suffering from his second occurrence of lung cancer. Jerry was a habitual smoker...

...Shannon Miller This amazing athlete has had so many great accomplishments, and has more to come. Shannon Miller was a part of the Olympic gymnastics team named “The Olympic Seven” This strong team of athletes went on to win the first ever gold medal for America. They called this team “The Magnificent Seven” because this was the first ever team from America that actually had a chance for gold. Shannon Miller worked hard and had determination, and because of this, accomplished great things. Like a lot of top notch athletes Miller started gymnastics at the early age of 5. In the year of 1982, Shannon Miller and her sister received a trampoline for Christmas. "When we started bouncing on it and trying flips, [my parents] freaked out. They thought we would get hurt. So they signed us up for gymnastics classes." (Great Women in Sports, 1). Her first four years of gymnastics were full of hard work, and it all paid off. She was invited to a Russian gymnastics camp. While she was there, worked hard but was very emotional. She would cry every time she didn't do something perfect. This attracted Steve Nunno’s attention, and he invited her to come train with him. Just four years after she started, a new journey began, she switched gyms to begin training with the...

...industrial sector today have their roots in policies adopted many years ago; so much so, that some analysts and experts blame the problems of today on key decisions of yesteryear. 8.1 Numbers and Trends in Industry The phenomenal growth rate experienced in the industrial sector in Pakistan in the early 1950s took place, from an almost non-existent base, where the growth rate of the industrial sector was doubling itself every few years. The extraordinary growth rates of over 20 per cent between 1950 and 1955 in large-scale manufacturing were achieved primarily because very little existed to start with and, hence, any investment and production, no matter how little, would register impressive gains. Only in the early 1960s did largescale manufacturing come close to the extraordinary period of the early and mid-1950s. Nevertheless, overall manufacturing did manage to produce a growth rate of close to 10 per cent on average throughout the 1960s (Table 8.1), followed by a substantial reduction in the 1970s, the reasons for which were discussed in the previous chapters. The 1980s once again saw a return to a very impressive annual average growth in manufacturing of 8.21 per cent, a fact which received much recognition by international agencies and independent analysts and scholars (see Chapter 7). A trend which is striking for its monotony is that exhibited by the small-scale sector. The first few years, 1950...

Introduction INTRODUCTION “We could be getting close to the time for a major Disney attraction in the world’s most populous nation.” 1 “I am completely confident that Chinese people love Mickey no less than they love a Big Mac.” 2 Early in 1999, Michael Eisner, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, voiced his opinions concerning potential markets for his firm’s entertainment products and services.
