...In the 1950s, there was a significant challenge and thought of a recharged enthusiasm for creating Overton Park, with the extra reproductions of the national interstate thruways. Overton Park is depicted as a recognized 342-acre section of land which was turned into a group park, it was utilized for multi-reason diversions. Inferable from its adaptable plan, Overton Park soon turned into the social focal point of Memphis. Among its numerous attractions, the recreation center contained the "Memphis Zoo, the Memphis Museum of Arts, a (9) nine-opening fairway, a structure, and two little lakes." (Cooper, 2007, Pg 240) The subjects of Memphis developed common worries about the pulverization of the regular excellence of general society park incited by Congress. Has the administrator acted within his/her proper range of authority? Yes, even though the Court claimed the case to its sum. Overton Park was the milestone for the Supreme Court case. Congress plainly did not expect to bring about the interruption of the group; in this way this case was built up by the structure of a legal survey for regulatory activities. Even though the sectary replied that the case should have been dismissed because those that were bringing the action did not have to stand. (Cooper, 2007, Pg 241) "The death of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 and the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1968 taught the recently made Secretary of Transportation not to affirm the utilization of area from openly claimed...

...Read the ‘Biography of Ching K’o’ (Jing Ke) and identify one or two incidents that are used/not used in the film, and make an argument as to whether the inclusion/exclusion is desirable, artistically or thematically, (for instance, whether it is a good choice to eliminate the incidents that show the assassin is not a good swordsman). You may also find in the film the incidents that are not in the Biography and comment on the addition in the same aforementioned manner. The movie “Emperor and Assassin” is a movie filmed by the famous director Zhang Yi Mou in the 90s. It portrays the assassin Jing Ke's attempt to kill Ying Zheng, the emperor of Qin as a humanitarian act. In the movie, after Ying Zheng conquers the state of Zhao, he kills all the children in the fear that they might grow up to take revenge on him. This breaks the heart of his wife, Lady Zhao, who was a citizen of Zhao. Seeing the heartbroken Lady Zhao and all the children’s corpses, Jing Ke, who at first refuses to perform the assassination because of his vow to never kill, decides to accept the mission because he does not want to witness any more premature deaths. Although there is no evidence in history suggesting that Jing Ke accepted the mission for a humanitarian cause, the movie seems to interpret it as if he did. Jing Ke’s assassination fails. The imperial doctor Xua Wu Ju strikes him with a medicine bag and injures him, which gives Ying Zheng the chance to strike back and finish him. As an elite...

...Just another one-hit-wonder or a true star? One Direction. Nickelodeon wannabe or really committed? Big Time Rush. These are both questions when thinking about these two bands, but both bands have strengths and personalities which allowed them to strive. I really can't say if the pop music in this generation has gotten better or worse, because there are so many posers out there you can't tell who's autotuned and who isn't. At first glance, the bands seem identical, because they both have a fan base populated by girls and they're both boy bands. People also think that these bands' will fade out in a couple of years just like Hannah Montana and But truthfully, their music videos and acting, hit singles, and what they could do to have fans staying happy are completely different. Both One Direction and Big Time Rush are great bands, but both have to work to make it to the top. Originally, the members of One Direction each wanted to be solo artists. Yet if it hadn't been for that twist of fate and the discovery from "X Factor", One Direction wouldn't have been where they are today! Other than music videos, the boy band has no acting experience, yet they have 80 MILLION views on YouTube! The closest this boy band has gotten to acting is when Nickelodeon made their online diaries into a weekly television show as of March 2012. Only one of their singles, "That's What Makes You Beautiful" was on the Billboard Top 100, but that doesn't mean they aren't famous! They have performed on...

... It’s a process of hiding information so that outside sources cannot see or manipulate it. The most secure web encryption is 128-bit. It uses a longer sequence of bits to increase strength of encryption by offering an additional 88 bits of key length. This encryption uses a public key during the encryption process and a different private key for the decryption process. Most all providers now use 128 bit encryption which means there are 339 trillion different combinations to crack the code. (FAFSA) This ensures security of the data you send over the internet through secure sites. 128-bit encryption is so secure that trying to crack it simply isn't feasible. 128-bit encryption is 309,485,009,821,345,068,724,781,056 times stronger than 40-bit encryption. (FAFSA) It would take significantly longer than the age of the universe to crack a 128-bit key. Current cracking technology puts 128 bit encryption in the very hard to crack realm, but is not unbreakable. It just makes the duration longer and resource consumption more intense. In that case, those trying to crack have to consider if the unknown asset is worth the effort. State secrets may well be worth the effort 128 bit encryption is not bad encryption, but nor is it the best, the encryption standard for the government is 256 bit. If one wants to improve security, he or she could consider increasing to a 256 or 512 bit encryption. Also the use of salt and multiple algorithms will help increasing the security of one’s...

...PROJECT SCOPE STATEMENT Project Cost and Schedule Control PM592 Instructor: Prof. Anoop Grover Submitted by Keerthi Kadam Date: September 09, 2011 Keller Graduate School of Management BACKGROUND/ PROJECT DESCRIPTION The IT team has developed a problem solving website for people who can discuss problems and get a solution. The purpose of this website is- a platform for people who are seeking help and to those people who can help. People can use this website to post questions by choosing category from various lists that are available. Any individual who has a solution to a problem can reply to the question and get in touch with the problem seeker to resolve it. In addition, there is a “ask a professional” tab where a professional can answer questions. This website will not work as a forum where people can make multiple posts, instead it will work as a problem solving website. The website will work from community to global level. As this website will be a work in progress, there will be many enhancements that will be done from time to time. Therefore, we will also do a gap analysis which will determine where the project is and where the project will be after 5 years.

...Merely 35 years after the last shot was fired in the American Civil War on June 22, 1865, in 1901, anticipating his imminent displacement, George White—the last African American remaining in Congress—retired. He was a victim of North Carolina’s disfranchisement schemes. On the eve of his departure from the House, Mr. White lamented, “The mule died long ago and the land grabbers have obtained the 40 acres.” Audible in his tone was the frustration that underlay more than 30 years of broken promises made to African Americans. The phrase “forty acres and a mule” that Mr. White refers to in his address has its roots in the Special Field Order # 15 (SFO # 15). The order was signed into effect on January 16, 1865 by General William Tecumseh Sherman; just two months after Abraham Lincoln had been reelected to office. SFO #15 entitled each freed family forty acres of tillable land on islands and the coast of Georgia. However, there is no mention of mules (or any animals) in the field order. A popular fable is that Sherman's commissary man came to him complaining that he had a large number of “broken down” mules for which he had no means of disposal. Sherman sent the useless animals for distribution along with the land. The first two sections of the SFO # 15 describes the area where the land was to be reserved and section three clearly indicates the size of the land to be allocated. “Special Field Orders, No. 15 I. The islands from Charleston, south, the abandoned rice fields...

...Shaquisha Barrow September 26, 2012 Journal #10: The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven Intro to Lit 1. I got very confused when I was searching for the original “Lone Ranger and Tonto” because I saw different versions of it and I wasn’t sure which was which. I did however, find the definition of “Tonto”, which means silly or dumb and “Ke-mo sah-bee which means trusty scout. I believe that the narrator was Tonto in society’s eyes. The narrator couldn’t even go into a certain part of town without people calling the police because he looks “suspicious”, or walk in a store to get a few snacks without people being scared of him. I believe that heaven represents America and the “American dream” which, to me, is to have freedom, happiness, and wealth. The narrator along with the other Native Americans on the reservation, symbolizes Tonto, he trusts his girlfriend (The Lone Ranger), to help him better himself and reach the American dream but instead she, along with help from others, knock him down and stop him from reaching his dream. The woman that he loved was supposed to be there to help him and encourage him but instead they always clashed and argued. The narrator said that they never physically fought, but she always knew what to say to hurt him. Based on my experiences, most of the people we attach ourselves to, know how to hurt us the most. I think that society as a whole was a symbol of the Lone Ranger. The narrator just wanted to live his life like a regular American...

...The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven is a novel written by Sherman Alexie. The novel consists of short stories about Native Americans' lives. Sherman Alexie uses symbolism throughout the novel. In The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, women--including Victor's mother, the aunt in "The Fun House," and Norma Many Horses--are symbols of strength. In the novel The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, Victor's mother is one of the women who symbolizes strength. In the chapter "Jimi Hendrix," when Victor's father wrecked his bike, he was in the hospital for two months, and Victor's mother visited him every day until he recovered although she and Victor's father were split up. The narrator, Victor, states that "even though my mother didn't want to be married to him anymore and his wreck didn't change her mind about that, she still came to see him every day" (33). The narrator explained that it wasn't necessary for Victor's mother to go to the hospital every day to visit Victor's father, but that she did it out of the goodness of her heart. When Victor's mother went to visit Victor's father at the hospital, it symbolized that his mother was a strong figure. Although she and Victor's father were split up, she still felt the need to be by his side and to support him through his recovery. Women, like Victor's mother, are symbols of strength in the novel The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven. Another woman who symbolizes strength in The Lone Ranger and Tonto...

...“The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven” by Sherman Alexie and “Separation Anxiety” by Evie Shockley discuss the complications of identity while living in worlds of different cultures. Victor is the main character of “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven” and he has an identity crisis throughout the story since he lives in the city but is from the Indian reservation. He identifies not only as a Native American, but he lives in a community surrounded by mostly Caucasian people which makes him feel out of place. He feels that he does not belong in the reservation and also does not belong in the big city. The narrator, Peaches, in “Separation Anxiety” identifies herself as an African American and lives in a community where everyone is African American this leads her to know who she is without the same confusion that Victor has. She lives the history and culture the same as everyone around her. She does decide to leave the community in order to give her dance a future and show other communities who she is. Both of these stories have a theme of identity through history, culture, and societal pressures but the main character has alternate views of their identity. Victor in “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven” and Peaches in “Separation Anxiety” are discovering their identity while being involved in two different societies, but Victor has more difficulty identifying which society he belongs to as he has pieces of himself in both. In “The Lone Ranger and Tonto...

...In society today children often watch, mirror, and act like their parents. In the collection of short stories entitled The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, Sherman Alexie creates an image of a boy who has the same hopes and beliefs of his parents. Victor, the main character, has a hopeless attitude and a pessimistic outlook on life. These characteristics cannot be more attributed to his own personal decisions rather than any reasons beyond his control. When Victor is younger, he witnesses his parents enter and struggle with the alcoholic cycle of Indians. When Victor’s parents throw a New Years’ Eve party, it gets out of control and alcohol runs rampant. “He kissed his mother’s neck, tasted the salt and whiskey. He kissed his father’s...

...Poor Barney Barney has finally decided to retire after many years in law enforcement, and Barney has done relatively well and setting himself up for a good retirement by participating in some early life real estate investments (Tailer, 2014, para.1). Barney owns some property in the North Carolina mountains as well as property on North Carolina’s coast. Unfortunately, Barney has some issues that will need to be addressed both legally and spiritually while attempting to clean his rights in regards to his property. The main legal issues in this case study are eminent domain, adverse possession, joint tenancy, and good-faith purchases of value. Co-Ownership Joint ownership of property occurs when more than one person holds entitlement of a property at the same time. There are many different forms of joint ownership such as joint tenancy, tenancy in common, and tenancy by the entirety (Kubasek, et al., 2014). Specifically, joint tenancy with rights survivorship is a type of co-ownership when one owner dies, the surviving owner or owners become the new owners the deceased share or title of property (Garber, 2014). This is important to Barney because the legal rights to his property were put in jeopardy by one of his co-owners Andy had left interest in a will to his son Opie. Opie took out a personal loan and used is presumed interest in the property as collateral. Opie then defaulted on the loan and the lender tried to foreclose on the land (Tailer, 2014, para.3).

...calculating WACC we need cost of equity for the firm(ke) ,cost of debt(kd) capital structure of the firm and tax rate (t). To calculate cost of debt we chose the long term interest rate on U.S. government bond and added debt rate premium (From Table A debt premium = 1.3%) for Marriott Corporation to it. We chose long term US govt bond rate (Rf = 8.95%) majorly because of their lodging business which contributes more than 50% of the profit and has assets of a very long useful lives The target capital structure is provided in Table A of the case study which is 60% debt and 40% equity. We will use the same while calculating WACC. From exhibit 1 of case study the Tax rate in the year 1987 for unlevered beta = 44% = (Income tax / Income before income tax)*100% To Calculate cost of equity we have followed the below process (See Appendix for calculations): 1) Calculated unlevered beta (βu) using the given debt to equity ratio and given equity beta from Exhibit 3 of case study βu= βl(1+1-t*DE) 2) Levered the βu with the targeted capital structure and tax rate = 35% βl = βu*(1+1-t*DE) 3) To determine the risk premium (Rm – Rf) we have used 1926 -87 Spread between S&P 500 composite return and long term U.S. govt bond return (Exhibit 5 of the case study) to have a reasonable measure of long term riskiness. 4) Using CAPM model we then determine the cost of equity Ke=Rf+β*(Risk Premium) Hence the Firm level WACC is Ke*D(D+E)+1-t*Kd*D(D+E) (See Appendix for calculation)...
