... and made a drum like sound when you hit the ball with it. The first paddle was also around 19 inches long, which is unheard of nowadays. As we neared the start of the 20th century, the paddles then started to become made of wood covered in sandpaper, followed by a “cork-faced” racket, which players liked because they thought it, improved their overall performance. As we neared the middle of the 20th century, the changes in the racket increased significantly due to a first time impact from Japanese technology. They tried adapting the racket so it would help a player either on the offensive or defensive side. For example, it says that they made a racket that was wide and had a “pimpled rubber” surface that was preferred by players on defense. Next, they developed a sponge type racket. When the sponge racket was implemented with rubber and was 1mm, it was said that it was more difficult to create spin on the ball. I found it interesting that they finally stuck with this type of material and instead went to a 2mm “pimple rubber racket” while they also tried ways to increase the spin and the way to defend the spin. And from then on, the table tennis paddle has stayed the same for the most part. The only changes could be customizations, where people had grips put on to the handle. According to the ITTF Handbook’s rules on the racket, it can be any size or shape, it just has to have a...

...have took the initiative to better themselves; by getting better jobs, promoting to higher positions and little by little moving up in the congress to run for presidency. Women are also beginning to learn about self-defense and are self-reliance to better themselves. I believe the cultural shift of women becoming more aggressive and self-reliant is great because they are less vulnerable, independent and confident in themselves. Woman who take self-defense classes have been in the category of woman that are able to avoid attackers. Jeff Klein the writer of “Watching My Back” writes about an incident where Jeff and his girlfriend ran into a drunk man who tried to provoke them, but turns his attention else where. She tells Klein “I got you back”(82) joking, but yet feels a since of comfort by the notion that she does know self-defense and if ever needed she does not feel vulnerable. I honestly do believe women have the right to take any class that betters themselves. Not only do women feel vulnerable walking down the street, but many women down are assaulted even by just jogging around the neighborhood. In The Beaufort Tribune, one man at knifepoint took her into a wooded area and sexually assaulted her (1). Not only does this should encourage women to take self defense classes. The traumas women go through are not worth Feeling vulnerable is usually why women tend to be protective and tend to change how they view the society, but are becoming more independent. Women today are...

...TERRORISM AND THE MILITARY ROLE CRISIS MANAGEMENT Terrorism and the Military’s Role in Domestic Crisis Management Angela Tyler Principles of Management Professor Jones May 3, 2012 TERRORISM AND THE MILITARY ROLE CRISIS MANAGEMENT 1 I am going to discuss a crisis management plan, “Terrorism and the Military’s Role in Domestic Crisis Management”. This crisis management plan will explore how to reviews the current legislation and policies that govern the military’s role when supporting law enforcement in a domestic terrorism crisis and highlights some of the issues confronting the U.S. government. To fully understand the military’s role in domestic crisis response it is necessary to explore existing national level structures and response options prior to the involvement of military forces. (Terrorism and the Military’s Role in Domestic Crisis Management, 2003) Crisis management is predominately a law enforcement function that manages the resources necessary to prevent or resolve a terrorist incident. Current U.S. government terrorism response policy is contained in presidential directives. Among other matters, these directives address National Security Council structure and federal agency crisis response roles when responding to a domestic terrorism incident. (Terrorism and the Military’s Role in Domestic Crisis Management, 2003, CRS6, para 3, line 7). National Security Council (NSC), U.S. agency...

...Andrea Yates Cassandra Professor Criminology Spring 2012 Andrea Kennedy was born on July 2, 1964 and married the love of her life, Rusty Yates on April 17, 1993. The plans to have as many children as possible seemed like a fairy tale storybook to the newlyweds but little did Rusty know June 20, 2001 would be the last day he would see his five children that he and Andrea had conceived. Andrea Yates was found guilty on behalf of drowning all five of her children in her Texas home bathtub. June 20, 2001 was the most horrifying day for the Yates’ family and for every other individual notified of one of the most gruesome murders a woman has committed. “She just repeated her statement and then added, “It’s time. I did it” (Ramsland). This statement came from the chilling phone call Rusty Yates had received only an hour after leaving his house. Frantic over what she meant, she simply said it had to do with the children, all of the children. Racing to get home, he knew something traumatic must have happened simply because police and ambulances were already there. He witnessed his wife being led away in handcuffs and gained the knowledge that all five of his children had died. His wife, Andrea had drowned their children. Four children were found lying down with their eyes open in the bedroom with a sheet over them, soaking wet of water. The one remaining was found in the bathtub filled with feces and vomit, appearing to be dead as well. Her five children ranged in age from...

(Hint: What is the important second prong of the McNaughton rule?) * A person that is insane does not understand the consequences of any of the actions they are committing; in this case we are speaking of the shooting of an officer. A person with mental illness, does have the understanding of their actions, but can suffer from many conditions such as depression of even psychosis. * The McNaughton rule cannot be used to defend the actions of a person who drinks alcohol and then murders someone. Why not? A person that is under the influence of alcohol suffers from neither mental illness nor insanity, they are just intoxicated therefore, they are still held accountable for their actions. * Identify each of the following: a. Rational and guilty * A defendant who is Rational and Guilty had the mental capacity to understand that what he was doing was wrong and was convicted of his crime. b.

...So. 2, 7 (Fla. 1929). The constitution states only one command twice. The Fifth Amendment says to the federal government that no shall be “deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law”. The Fourteenth Amendment uses the same eleven words called Due Process Clause and it is used to describe the legal obligation of all states. Basically they are giving an promise of assurance that all levels of the government must operate within the law and provide fair procedures. Describe three of the legal defense. The three defenses that I would like to describe would be the insanity defense, self-defense, and the entrapment defense. The insanity defense is the defendant claims that because of mental health problems they were not responsible for their actions. The insanity defense is based on evaluations from professionals that state that the defendant was incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong in the legal sense. The theory behind the defense is people who are insane cannot have the intent required to performs a criminal act because they either do not know the act is wrong or they cannot control their actions even when they understand the act is wrong. The second...

...Pavith Baskaran Ms. Marsh ENG 4U1 September 26 2011 Sanity in the Face of Relativity In our customary everyday lives, and by having a religious and ethical lifestyle, one is required by humanity to display socially acceptable qualities of sanity. Sanity is the ability to think and behave in a normal rational manner, and to exhibit rational behaviour. In Shakespeare’s play “King Lear” however, it is shown that “sanity” is a relative concept that can vary in meaning. Relating to the outside world, utilizing present issues of many countries, sanity being based on relativity, can be greatly exemplified. By performing an in depth analysis of different perspectives on sanity, it can be revealed who is sane and who is not. In the dramatic play, “King Lear”, King Lear assumes that his own character completely mirrors the quality of sanity. Displaying sane characteristics requires one to be completely assertive of the decisions that one makes personally, Lear’s actions are consciously made by him, and he knows exactly what he wants to say. He decides to divide his own kingdom and properties, and he wishes all three of his daughters to express their love for him. While Goneril and Regan claim their (faux) admiration of their father Lear is tremendous, Cordelia expressed nothing but her own genuine feelings. Unable to either express or translate her feelings into words, Cordelia explains to Lear that she is unable to verbally profess her love. In reply, Lear bursts with cursing...

...This paper contains information on the assessment of Davis County, Utah. To give you a small image in your mind to start with; Utah has the youngest population, the most households consisting of married couples with children, the most stay at home moms, 2nd highest fertility rate and is mostly white. The following is a map of Davis County. Population of Davis County as of 2012 was 315,809. The majority of the population is male with a male to female ratio of 50.2:49.8. Davis County is a predominately white area with 93.2% of the population being white. The average age of the Davis County population is 26.8. The average household income is 69,147. The unemployment rate in 2010 was 5.3%. 6.6% of the population lives in poverty. The current amount of college students is 14,267. 1,758 people received SS in 2006. There were 5,590 births and 1,211 deaths in 2012. The primary language in this county is English. Meaning this is a population of young white people. 92.1% of this population is LDS. The LDS church creates a culture itself. With such a high percentage practicing the same religion, many of the members of this county have a similar, conservative life style. This culture views health as something very important. The LDS church has something called the word of wisdom, which advises against alcohol and drugs. Due to the word of wisdom many people turn to prescription medication. This is how many people deal with anxiety, stress and depression in Davis...

...company to succeed is to understand both the internal and external environments. The companies must understand these environments and apply the knowledge to a strategy that will give the company a competitive advantage. The competitive advantage must be measured to fully understand how the strategy is being implemented and to what extent the strategy is creating a competitive advantage. Northrop Grumman (NG) uses environmental scanning to understand the market environment. This helps establish a strategy that will hopefully create a competitive advantage. Internal and external environmental scan Northrop Grumman’s internal environment is very strong. The company has positioned itself well to capitalize on the emerging trends in the national defense market place. Northrop has developed new technologies and internal infrastructure to sustain new business in the new technologies departments. NG is also strong in personnel, although there is a troubling trend emerging. NG has a long history of dedicated workers but has failed to retain or attract new talent. There is a growing gap between the experienced knowhow and the new employees. NG has a large gap in the middle of the workforce. The majority of the work force is either five years from retirement or has less than five years with the company. Therefore the “local knowledge” that is essential for continuing seamless operations as the older generation moves on is failing to be passed down to the newer generation of employees. NG has...

...Andrea Pia Yates was a 36 year old woman, married to Rusty Yates and together they had 5 children. The children ages ranged from 6 months to 7 years; Mary, 6 months, Luke, 2, Paul, 3, John, 5, and Noah, 7. Rusty Yates worked as a NASA engineer for the Johnson Space Center while Andrea was a stay at home mom who home schooled her children. After battling depression and post partum depression over a period of 2 years, Andrea Yates drowned all 5 of her children on June 20, 2001. Andrea Yates was born on July 2, 1964 in Houston Texas. She was the youngest and had 4 older siblings. She was an active child and got very involved in school activities. She had graduated high school as Valedictorian. She went on to receive a nursing degree from the University Of Texas Health Science Center and worked as a registered nurse. She met her husband Rusty at age 25, dated for 3 years and married in 1993. After the birth of her 1st child, Noah, she quit nursing and became a stay at home mom. Not long after is when she began to exhibit extremely volatile visions of someone being stabbed and also audio hallucinations of Satan (the devil) speaking to her. She never mentioned these to her husband due to his “Bible-Inspired notions about family and motherhood” and kept these secrets from everyone. That is when Andrea’s postpartum psychosis began but went undiagnosed and untreated. Andrea Yates got involved in, what I would call a religious cult with a preacher named Michael Woroniecki...

...capacity to have intended to commit that crime. Also, pleading not guilty by reason of insanity may result in the person avoiding jail time, but almost always result in the person having to be admitted to a psychiatric institution. The judge also has the option to require that the person undergo some physiological therapy, but the actual treatment varies according to the state. Another difference between the two pleas is that there is more than one form of the guilty but mentally ill defense. This is the defense of the irresistible impulse. This defense asserts that the defendant was suffering from a mental disease that that made him or her incapable of controlling his or her actions, despite being able to distinguish right and wrong at the time that the act was committed. For both pleas, sanity is determined by the judge or jury in a separate preceding in some states. In other states, the defense is either accepted or rejected in the verdict of the judge or jury. Even if either one of these defenses lead to a verdict of guilty, the sentencing court may consider it a mitigating...
