...Education in Alaska is continually evolving, and the 1972 lawsuit was a drastic changing point. In October of 2016, Molly Hootch one of the most well-known plaintiffs in the case, now called Molly Hymes discussed the rising difficulties found within the village schools. The oldest surviving daughter, Molly was sent to live with a host family in Anchorage during her ninth grade year. During her time there, she led a life of isolation, discrimination and constantly dealt with racism and violence. In 1971 while at her home in Emmonak she signed a petition hoping to get a local high school placed in the village without realizing she was signing a lawsuit against the current Alaska educational program. In the end, she quit school and found out about the case. She returned home in the hope she could help support her family while working at the local store. Molly began to work on her GED in hopes of completing her degree, and during this time the case was settled. After moving to Minnesota with her husband in 1979, they...

...accept the new contract, many so-called radical workers rejected that advice and organized their own demonstrations and parades, which attracted large crowds in the thousands (Johnson and Dennis). It is during this period that the Molly Maguires society emerged to rectify their grievances against the political system and mine owners who were hostile to immigrants and mine workers. (Brennan). Just as they had targeted their landlords in Ireland, the Pennsylvania Mollies targeted the mine owners, company policemen, and strike breakers (Brennan). Their protests were some of the most violent in labor history (Loy). Both the union members and the coal companies were responsible for numerous violent acts, including public brawls, assaults, sabotage, and murder (Loy). Mines were...

...The use of MDMA (aka Molly, Ecstasy, E) has been long associated with the EDM culture and the stereotype itself created an unbreakable cycle of a sort, where the EDM fans are being accused of abusing, which creates publicity for drug dealers who are always at the concerts and finally many fans started to believe that EDM and drug use is intertwined that they ‘have to’ use to enjoy to show. Which is why in attempts to stop the drug usage the police have been focusing efforts on, for example, arresting people for smoking marijuana during the concert, instead of focusing on the concertgoers who appear obviously or remotely drug-impaired. One of the less obvious and arguably less effective solutions is teaching the general population, the fans but more specifically adolescents about the the terrifying, often lethal repercussions. Even though this cannot be on one or even a small group of promoters but generally the industry could take responsibility to take a national initiative to deal with this issue. It could be...

...trained as a cooper and educated to make barrels. In 1842, after he finished his apprenticeship, Pinkerton left his country to go to the United States. He remained in Chicago and put up a cooper's shop. In 1843 Pinkerton repositioned his business to Dundee, in Kane County, Illinois. He come across and detained a group of fraudsters in that year. The outcome changed Pinkerton's life. He became entailed with police work and was assigned deputy sheriff of Kane County in 1846. He soon transferred to a more like position in Cook County, with a headquarters in Chicago. According to Pinkerton (2010), “In 1850 Pinkerton left his job from Chicago's new police force in order to organize a private detective agency that specialized in railway theft cases. The Pinkerton National Detective Agency became one of the most famous organizations of its kind. Its successes included capture of the principals in a $700,000 Adams Express Company theft in 1866 and the thwarting of an assassination plot against President-elect Abraham Lincoln in February 1861 in Baltimore. In 1861, working for the Union during the Civil War, Pinkerton, under the name E.J. Allen, headed an organization whose...

...“The Breakfast Club” Review Made by ivanbolt Teenage movie about mature problems. Saturday has always been the day of relaxation and having fun. But not for characters of “The Breakfast Club”, who ought to spend their day off to attend a Saturday detention for each of their mischief, and write an essay “Who you think you are?”. Along with the fact, that this group is so ill-assorted, you can’t even get how they all appeared to be in the same place, the Shermer High School library. This small mixed group consists of jock Andrew (Emilio Estevaz), who is insane about sports; nerdy Brian (Antony Michael Hall), whose aim is to get straight A’s at any cost; princess Claire (Molly Ringwald), who conceitedly trying to prove that she does not belong to the company; kook Alison (Ally Sheedy), that surprise everyone by her outstanding acting; and rebellious criminal John Bender (Judd Nelson), that demonstrates indifference and toughness. The movie, written and directed by genius of teen comedies John Hughes and produced with the help of Ned Tanen, represents a perfect mix of a joyful comedy and profound drama. To begin with, the situation represented in the film is quite realistic, except for the fact that such different people gathered together in the same place and at the same time. However, the viewer can consider that as a miraculous coincidence, which often happens in real life. Still, clear representation of youth problems, their behaviour and attitude to each other does...

...technology is a scary idea. However, this fear is completely absent in this book. Instead, it is obvious that Gibson’s take on the subject is somewhat favorable to the idea of cooperation between man and machine and it should not be seen as an evil or bad thing. It’s like it was meant for humanity and technology to merge together. From enhanced reflexes to built-in holographic projectors, the characters in his book have undergone several body enhancements and modifications to give them the edge in this technological future. One example is Molly Millions, a main character, has many modifications and enhancements done to her body making her a walking death 1 machine. One of these modifications is the vision enhancing mirror lenses. Since her eye sockets are sealed with these mirror lenses, her tear ducts are re-routed to her mouth; therefore, on the rare occasion of her crying, she either spits out her tears or she may swallow them. In addition, Molly never lets anyone touch her lenses as they might leave fingerprints which require extra cleaning. These two issues are not the only problems related to her eyes enhancements; moreover, they are part of the reason why she has...

...After the intense Molly Hootch case, the education of Alaska Natives improved drastically. Over the twentieth century, Alaska Natives were originally seen as ignorant and uncivilized. In the early twentieth century, the federal and Alaska state government funded schools in the villages to improve the image of the Alaska Native people. Alaska: Our Northern Wonderland written by Frank Carpenter in 1928, states that the goal was to teach “self-government and making them American citizens.” Education was to be the key to social, cultural, and moral development in these people of the north. Even though this seemed like an amazing opportunity for Native Alaskans, it began to hinder them. Children who wanted an education after eighth grade had...

...Hades The sixth episode of James Joyce’s Ulysses is based around Leopold Bloom’s thoughts and actions throughout the time before, during, and shortly after the funeral of Paddy Dignam. In R.M Adams’ essay, “Hades: Bloom Alone”, he discusses a “great hollow resonance” (96) that is present when reading this episode and Adams claims “that is the real development of this chapter, the sounding of that resonance, the deepening and darkening in Bloom’s mind of an immense emptiness.” (96,97) Throughout the episode, it is clear to see the isolation between Bloom and the rest of the characters presented. On the carriage ride to the funeral, Joyce makes it clear that the thoughts of Cunningham, Power, and Simon Dedalus are completely different from the thoughts of Bloom. Adams writes that Bloom’s “matter-of-factness often serves to set him apart from his companions.” (98) This is clear when Bloom speaks out that he would rather prefer a quick death than a slow death. Bloom, being Jewish, does not seem to take into account that Catholics fear a quick death as it does not offer a chance to repent. This conversation leads into Mr. Power, unaware of the suicide of Bloom’s father, speaking about the disgrace of having a suicide in the family. It is obvious to see that Bloom is not close to these people and that they have no intentions of being so. However, Adams writes that “Deeper than any of these on-the-whole trivial misadventures, there is the gloomy emptiness of Bloom’s encounter...

...Patrice Sterling Dr. Andrews Paper #2 The Colorado Gold Rush began in 1858 and attracted a staggering variety of characters. United by a common desire to find their fortunes in the West, these prospectors faced harsh conditions and often, little reward. Fifty years later, those flocking to Colorado were a very different sort. Entrepreneurs, tycoons, and even European nobility sought out the state’s pristine natural beauty by visiting luxury hotels and by building lavish private residences. Increasingly, Colorado became a destination for those who had already secured their fortunes, rather than a place to start from scratch. Certainly, more modest citizens continued to flow into the new state, but compared with earlier days in the state’s past, Colorado began to attract more people from the luxury set than ever before. I chose two photographs, taken fifty years apart, to exemplify the changing character and reputation of Colorado during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The first image I will be analyzing shows a prospector working panning for gold on a river bank in the Colorado mountains near Cripple Creek. It was taken circa 1890 by an unidentified photographer. The man’s clothing is tattered and his beard is unkempt. He crouches in the icy water, staring woefully into his sieve, which presumably contains nothing more valuable than river gravel. On the bank to his left, a well used shovel lies as if tossed aside along with a pick axe. This man is working...

...ABC’s 1950’s sitcom, The Beulah Show, was the first television program to star an African American actress. Although this was, obviously, a historically groundbreaking sitcom, the plot did an injustice to blacks by portraying black characters as inferior to whites in almost every way (unless it be the ability to perform housework). One would only need to watch the first 5 minutes of an episode of the sitcom to see the racial inequalities at play. Would this sitcom have been written, or aired, Post-Civil Right Era? It is hard to imagine that. Other than the obvious differences between Beulah, Bill, and Oriole, Alice and Harry -- such as clothing, occupation, and wealth, there are other social differences portrayed in the episode, as well. Lets examine the scene in which Beulah is sitting at the table with Bill, and she tells him about a, “...new thing called ‘the economy’”. By referring to the economy as “new”, Beulah is portrayed as behind when it comes to every-day knowledge. Instead of reminding Bill that the two of them should be cutting down on expenses, she appeared to have been new to the practice of economizing, something that every “smart” person knows to do. Unlike the Hendersons who had a full-on conversation about how they were to economize in their home, Beulah and Bill owed their newfound knowledge to Harry. In contrast to the Henderson family who sit down for dinner, use proper silverware and plates, and speak in a volume / tone that is appropriate for the dinner-table...

...With these developments, it is obvious that conflicts between parties of different nationalities occur and liability to tax on income of foreigners especially among those engaging in trading venture. Whilst the laws affecting domicile and residence may be sufficiently settled, it is paramount for courts to pursue a detailed analysis to ascertain specific preliminary issues so as to avoid controversial rulings. Courts often handle numerous financial cases that involve what can be best described as foreign or international elements. In such cases, court must decide whether it has the jurisdiction under the Family Law Act 1975 to make a decision on such cases. In the event that it is determined that the court is invested with the jurisdiction to determine the case, the court has to consider whether there is a system of law in foreign country that also has the jurisdiction to handle the case. As it was addressed in the case Attorney General of New Zealand v Ortiz [1984] AC 1, these benefits and costs to either party if the case resolution is made in foreign country as compared with the apparent country should also be a subject of concern. [1] Legal systems in most countries around the world adopt community property regime, which takes effect at the inception of marriage or at the time of divorce. For instance, California and Massachusetts in the United States have adopted community property regimes that support equal division of assets upon divorce. However, this provision...
