...For this project, you will need to observe the amount and type of crime being reported, as well as the characteristics of those individuals involved in the crime. In your write up, you should identify the dates and networks of your media sources. First, you should report: 1. The percentage of stories dealing with crime 2. The proportion of different categories of crime presented (violent vs. non-violent, street crime vs. white-collar, et cetera) 3. Pertinent demographic characteristics of the offender(s) and victim(s) Next, you should assess and critically reflect on the representation of crime in the media: 1. Do the media present an accurate picture of the overall crime rate? 2. Do the media tend to focus on a particular type of crime? If so, why might this be the case? 3. Do the media present an accurate picture of offenders? Of victims? What notable differences exist between media representations and official data for these two groups? 4. What are the possible implications of media (mis)representations of crime in society? You may choose to review official statistics on crime here: http://www.albany.edu/sourcebook. This is a resource to be used in writing your response, at your discretion. It is not required. GRADING Your project will be graded on the strength and clarity with which you communicate your analysis of the data.

...could roam the universe. He joined with his shadow to produce a son and a daughter. Atum gave birth to his son by spitting him out. He named him Shu and made him god of the air. Atum vomited up his daughter. He named her Tefnut and made her the goddess of mist and moisture. Shu and Tefnut were given the task of separating the chaos into principles of law, order and stability. The chaos was divided into light and dark and set into place. This order was called Maat, which formed the principles of life for all time. Maat was a feather; it was light and pure. Shu and Tefnut produced Geb, the Earth and Nut the Sky. At first these two were tangled together as one. Shu, god of the air, pushed Nut up into the heavens. There she would remain arched out over Geb, her mate. They longed to be together, but in the name of Maat they had to be apart, to fulfil their functions. Nut produced rain for Geb, and Geb made things grow on earth. As the sky, she gave birth to the sun every night before dawn, and by day it would follow its course over the earth and die at sunset. Shu and Tefnut produced the other gods. Isis, the queen of the gods, Hathor, the goddess of love and beauty, Osiris the god of wisdom and justice, Seth, the god of evil, Thoth, the god of wisdom and Nephthys the protectress of the dead.

...When comparing Isis and Osiris from Plutarch’s De Iside et Osiride to The Homeric Hymn to Demeter it is very easy to notice the many similarities. For example, the similarities between the characters in terms of their personalities, and journey. Especially between Isis and Demeter who both go on a search for their loved one and grieve in a similar fashion. However, towards the end of myths more differentiating qualities arises between the two goddesses. Moreover, the two myths also have noticeably similar themes such as grief, love, loss, betrayal and anger. However, forgiveness is a theme that appears only in Isis and Osiris and revenge only appears in The Homeric Hymn to Demeter. So, overall despite some major differences, mainly in the events that occurred in these myths, it is very clear that these two myths are more similar than they are different. Most of the events that occur in these two myths are different but there is still some similarities that can be found. The main event that occurs in their relevant myths is the taking of Osiris and Persephone. Osiris was placed in a coffin and left for dead whereas Persephone was taken in a chariot into the underworld. So obviously, the way they were taken and the fact that Persephone is alive whereas Osiris is dead are major differences in these two events. But, if you look at who took them and the consequences of these events you notice certain similarities. In both cases, it was the respective brother of the two goddesses who...

...Early farmers picked up some fruit of wild plants to home, eat them, and spited out the bigger seeds or defecated the tiny size seeds to human latrines. And then the seeds germinated in the early lab. But the key points were how the early farmers decided to pick up which fruit? It’s not hard to make some hypothesis: Fruit size: Strawberry, early farmers went into thorny thicket amid the mosquitoes on a hot, humid day to pick up strawberry; the only criterion is the size. The early farmer would choose only bigger size ones to compensate the while to get sunburned and mosquito bitten. Bitterness: Many wild seeds evolved to be bitter, bad-tasting or even poisonous to keep human or animals away from eating them. Natural selection functioned as getting the fruit tasteful dispersed by animals and continue the process of reproducing, meanwhile if the seed remained tasteful, the animal will chew them up as well. Occasional individual almond trees have a mutation in a single gene that prevents them from synthesizing the bitter-tasting amygdalin, which breaks down to yield poison cyanide. Such trees die out in the wild, while the trees lived near humans survived by being picked up by curious children or early farmers who noticed the non-bitter fruit. Fleshiness, Oiliness and fiber length are all similar in the selection process. Initially the wild fruit had less fruit around their seeds, but early farmers chose the fruit mutated to be with more Fleshiness, less seeds, such as squashes...

...When performing a five forces model for the snack food industry, I first looked at competition from rival sellers as I felt that this was the strongest threat for manufacturers. Rival sellers can easily try to produce a new line of products, mimic a competitor’s product, and it’s difficult to differentiate a snack food from the competition as there is so much competition. The market isn’t quickly growing, so rivals are competing for the same customer base and there is very little if any cost to switch from one snack food to the next. Many snack foods are very similar and there are hundreds if not thousands of competitors all fighting for the consumer’s purchase. A high competitive pressure exists from the sellers of substitute products as manufacturers can easily mimic existing snack foods. On a recent trip to Hyvee there were a number of snack foods on my list to pick up including potato chips, fruit snacks, and pretzels. For each of these items I had a variety of choices including a Hyvee brand for each which was the lowest price competitor, each product had a healthier option, and some even had a substitute product such as the flat pretzel snack rather than traditional. As consumers become more health conscious increased competition from the health foods industry will start to cross-over into the snack food industry. Competition from new entrants is moderate as it would be quite costly for a new start-up firm to purchase necessary equipment, create the distribution...

...Chris Sinvil IHHIST 399-06 12-5-14 Dying gods In all ancient cultures myths were used to explain the phenomenon’s in the world before we truly knew why things happened the way they did. In this paper I will be comparing two fairly similar myths from different cultures. The first myth is the ancient Egyptian myth about Isis and Osiris. And the second myth is the Mesopotamian story of Inannas descent to the under world. First I will summarize both myths and then talk about what their purpose was. Then I will compare and contrast two too show just how similar they are. Firstly comes the myth of Isis and Osiris. As with much of the ancient Egyptian mythology, there are various versions of the story of Isis and Osiris, but basically it goes like this. Osiris was an earthly ruler, who was popular with the people who he ruled over. He was married to his sister, the beautiful Isis. His brother, Set, was very jealous of this popularity and title, so he plotted against Osiris. Osiris never realized Set’s true devious intentions but Isis had always had a sense that set was up to no good. Set's plans to be rid of his brother started when he secretly obtained his brothers measurements and had a magnificent casket made to fit. This casket was in the form of a human shaped box. Set then organized a large feast to which Osiris and a number of others were invited. At the peak of the festivities Set produced the casket and announced that it would be given to whomever it fitted. All...

It allowed the Vermont residents to become successful on the profits of a business right in their own back yard. The shares were sold at a reasonable price to allow for the purchase. In order to offer greater liquidity and capital, the traditional way of selling shares took place as well as being listed on the NASDAQ. Ben & Jerry were also innovative on how they reduced expenses as well as benefit a local business. When they moved to their new plant in Waterbury CT, there was a limit to the amount of liquid waste, therefore incur more expenses. They made a deal with a local pig farmer to feed...
