...Tom Marrow is a Houston based architect who is the sole owner of a very successful architecture firm, Tomorrow Planning, Inc. Tomorrow Planning, Inc. was established in 1999. The firm does Office and Industrial builds for the majority of their projects. The owner, Tom, graduated from the University of Michigan in 1983 with a BA of Science and Architecture. Tom never planned on being an entrepreneur, but said he was thrown into it when the company he interned for started to go downhill. “I was working for a development company called Midway Development Company in their architecture group (Midway Architectural Planning), and the day I moved (from Ypsilanti) to Dallas was the day the economy took a sharp turn down. There was a bunch of reasons for the economy going bad, the savings and loans crisis was the big one though, and almost immediately, Midway started laying people off.” he told me. Approximately one year after Tom started at Midway, the manager of Midway Architectural Planning left the company and Tom was approached, and offered the management position. Tom managed the architecture group for about 4 years, as more and more of his staff got laid off. In 1989, there was only 5 people left at Midway Architectural Planning, and not nearly enough projects to keep them all busy. Tom approached the managers at Midway Development Company, and discussed taking the remaining employees of the architecture group and starting his own company, which is what he did and started the...

...Today I will interview a judge on his role in major criminal cases from his role beginning with first contact dealing with a plea bargain. The reason I choose to focus on that of plea bargains is because based on the videos I viewed this is the first initial contact the defendant has with the judge and most of the most memorable parts of many criminal court cases. Q: Good afternoon, one thing that stands out to me is why do we have so many plea bargains with in this country? A: Good question, for one our constitution states that everyone should offered that of a speedy trial. With that plea bargains can be looked at as such. Also if we were to send every case in front of jury many cases would never be heard and or pushed so far back that defendants will not receive the proper attention and or defense based on that fact if they had a public defender or private attorney. Q: when it comes to a plea bargain what is role? A: As a judge we oversee and supervise to make sure boundaries are set and it falls it the expectations of the community we are servicing. Also with this with have the right to accept or deny any plea bargain that is brought to us. But once a plea is made either guilty or no contest, it is our responsibility to make sure that the defendant is this decision on his own free will and in sole right mind. Once approved it will no longer go to trial. Q: When entering a plea hearing how much do you really know about case before it is presented to you and knowing...

...What is Desktop Support? By: Nicholas Jones A good question to ask would be what is desktop support, and why does it matter? Desktop support is a job title that a person gets when he/she is hired at a company that needs support for the companies IT issues. If the company is not large enough to need its own desktop support personel than an outside company may be hired to accept the workflow. Not everyone is a genius with computers and sometime require a little extra help to get things working again. This is where a desktop support role would be needed. Since a lot of the problems with machines thes days is because of user error a DS employee would basically be called to help fix the error that the user caused in the first place. If the problem is not user error it is also needed that the DS be knowledgable with the levels of escalation within the company so that the issue can be sent to the next level. It is also important that the DS documents the issues and problems fully so that the trouble shooting process will not have to be repeated. Most of the time the role of a DS is not a glamourous one, and really takes a calm and cool head to accomplish the job completely and tactfully. Users will call in and blame the DS for there mistake and expect and immediate fix. This can be a huge irritation, because the user is almost always at level employee, or the CEO that does not care about your feeling, and most deffinetley does not want to hear that this issue is there fault and...

...Should English Be the Official Language of the United States? Timothy Robinson Week 8 Assignment English 215 Official English benefits every resident of this wonderful place called America. The country works-because we have a common language. English is the key to opportunity in this country. It empowers immigrants and could make us truly united as a people. Common sense says that the government should teach people English rather than provide services in multiple languages. What would happen if our government had to provide services for about 311 languages spoken in the U.S. (Rhein, 2007)? Without a common language, how long would we remain the United States? Here is a solution to that, have the immigrants to learn the language so they can get all of the services they need. But from a social standpoint, English should not be and official language. Millions of people speak a language other than English. The United States is the most diverse country in the world. So why would we want to create a linguistically uniform nation? For starters, it would not be fair to people who has moved this country for hope of a better life. Yes eventually they would have to learn English; however it would great if others learn how to speak other languages to make it convenient for everyone, it would show that people are really for diversity, and it would limit the frustration of not understanding what a person is saying. People who cannot or do not speak English well often are look over...

...Luis Garcia Dr. Martin English 1301 24 October2013 Enemy Combatant or Terrorist?: A Designation Makeover This current “War on Terror” is not a familiar feat for the United States of America. For the past 12 years The U.S has had to constantly adapt and develop new operating procedures. The difficulty of this war derives from it not being a conventional war. We are fighting an enemy (Al Qaeda, Taliban, etc.) that has taken guerilla warfare to a whole new level. This enemy has gone from crashing planes into the Twin Towers to placing I.E.D’s (improvised explosive devices) in the streets of Baghdad without any regard to the welfare of its own civilians. There is no doubt this is a complicated war, so complicated that our nation has even struggled with the finer designation of those we are combating. “Enemy combatants” and “Terrorists” are classes we are battling with every day yet still struggling to justly categorize them in legal terms. The vagueness on the definition of “Enemy Combatant” and “Terrorist” has led to voids and abuse of these terms. This in turn has produced an inconsistency on combat operations and legal categorizations. It is often said old men declare wars and young men fight them. This is even more the case in our present conflict with there being over ten significant court cases that have shaped our rules of engagement in fighting on the battlefield (Garrison 449). It can be strongly argued that the fights in the court room are becoming as important as...

...Destiny Carter 11/08/12 Per.5 Geography Chernobyl On April 26, 1986, a hellish white glow bejeweled a small, little-known town in central Ukraine, now notoriously recognized by the international community as Chernobyl. During the early morning, operators had been running an ill-conceived experiment on reactor unit number four, during which a spike the operating level of the core caused a catastrophic explosion. The resulting eruption of radionuclide’s, both from the initial explosion and from the subsequently fires, turned the Ukraine contrary into a radioactive waste land. The accident on April 1986 at the Chernobyl power plant demonstrates that planning conducted at a national level alone cannot estimate the risks posed to all nations by nuclear energy. The scope of the challenge to make nuclear energy production safer is even greater than that shown by the accident at Chernobyl. At the nuclear power station itself, several attempts were made to clear away and contain chunks of graphite and other radioactive solids. They sent in volunteers, they were only allowed to be in the power station for 90 seconds or less. In 20-36 minutes at the power station, radiation would have over whelmed the nervous system and subsequently killed anyone as close as these volunteers were. The radiation levels were 15, 00 times greater than a normal person’s exposure in a year. For the past years, major accidents have contributed to our awareness in the nuclear power plant surrounding...

...Introduction. The English language started his first steps very long time ago: about fifth century with first settlements of British Islands. Now it`s the most popular language in the world: most of schools in each country give their pupils the subject, the big companies offer job only to english-speakers, in big cities there are all advertisements with translation to English and so on. Today every language has some word from English and also there some of them that became an international. Today more than 15% of the Earth`s population can speak English, so it`s not hard question from wich language the most popular word came. Of course you know this word, it`s "okay". When somebody asks you about your feelings you may say "i`m OK!", when somebody agree with something you may say "He`s okeys" and there`re a lot of examples more. How many times per day do we use word "okay"? 5? 10? Or even more? But do we know anything of it except of the meaning (or only one of them)? I made this project to show you how it`s deep, how many faces it has and just to teach you how to use it in a correct way. Also i want to tell you about it`s history or rather histories, because linguists now days don`t know which of them is true. All it started when my teacher had offered me and some of my schoolmates to take participation in contest about English language and after that i found some interesting information about word "okay". It was really informative to me to read some stories about it's...

...Lisa O’Neil Ethics and Genetic Engineering Essay Ethics are part of our everyday decisions, in order to be ethical we need to firstly understand the basis of ethics. The word ‘Ethics’ comes from the greek word ‘ethikos’ which relates to the customary way to behave in society. Ethics is a branch of philosophy dates back to before 367 b.c. Famously in the history of ethics and philosophy were ‘’The Three Wise Greek Men’’ Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Socrates was a teacher of philosophy and Plato was Socrates student for approximately ten years, and when Socrates died, Aristophanes became Plato's student. Aristotle views were that ‘’ethics is a virtue of happiness, and that the pursuit of virtue is the highest and noblest aim for a human being’’ . Aristotle can be seen as saying ‘’ Nobody would choose to live without friends even if they had everything else they desired ‘’ (quoted from The Puzzle of Ethics- Peter Vardy pg 31). Socrates took a practical view on ethics, he was concerned with ‘’how an individual would live in order to achieve happiness’’. Socrates can be seem as saying; ‘’Think hard enough and you will always find that doing the right thing is best for you ‘’ ( quoted in Peter singers A companion to Ethics, Blackwell p. 125 ). Plato's view was much more in depth and most famously contradicts Socrates work. Plato believes ethics is ‘’ knowledge is the virtue of happiness ‘’ . Plato can be seen as saying ‘’ If you believe something is right than its right...
