...Abstract In this paper we will discuss the phone booth and its diminishing role in society. As time change we have to change with it and by doing this some things will become obsolete. With cell phones as an everyday commodity, phone booths are like antique inventions that are becoming eye sores all around every city in the world. Questions will be asked and answered in this paper. Can phone booths be revamped? Will they never be used again? Are they more trouble or able to be restructured? These questions will be answered and a lot more information will be given out in the process. Product Assessment A telephone booth, telephone kiosk, telephone call box, telephone box or public call box is a small structure furnished with a payphone and designed for a telephone user's convenience. In the USA and Canada, "telephone booth" is used, while in the Commonwealth of Nations (particularly the United Kingdom and Australia) it is a telephone box or phone box. Such a booth usually has lighting, a door to provide privacy, and windows to let others know if the booth is in use. The booth may be furnished with a printed directory of local telephone numbers, and a booth in a formal setting, such as a hotel, may be furnished with paper and pen and even a seat. An outdoor booth may be made of metal and plastic to withstand the elements and heavy use, while an indoor booth (once known as a silence cabinet) may have more elaborate architecture and furnishings. Most outdoor booths feature...

...The film tells the story of Rosario (Kate del Castillo), a mother who illegally immigrates to the United States, and her nine-year-old son, Carlitos (Adrián Alonso). Rosario and Carlitos have not seen each other in four years, since Carlitos was five. Rosario, now living in Los Angeles, California, calls her son, (still in Mexico), every Sunday at 10 in morning from a payphone. Carlitos lives in a small Mexican village with his sick grandmother and his oppressive aunt and uncle, who try to take custody of him in order to get the money that Rosario sends to him. One day, while working for a woman named Carmen (Carmen Salinas), Carlitos encounters two American immigrant transporters (coyotes), Martha (America Ferrera) and David (Jesse Garcia), who offer to smuggle small children across the border. When his grandmother passes away, Carlitos decides that he cannot live with his aunt and uncle, so he finds the two coyotes. Though he successfully crosses the border without being caught, the car that he hides in is towed away and he is separated from the two coyotes since they had parking violations and expired tags and didn't pay for them. Afterwards, Carlitos continues the journey, eventually staying with other illegal immigrants while they pick tomatoes. However, immigration police raid the building, and arrest most of the workers, but Carlitos and another worker named Enrique (Eugenio Derbez), who does not like Carlitos, escape. While traveling, Carlitos and Enrique arrive...

...Adnan is innocent because there is no hard evidence that says he actually killed Hae Min Lee. First, Jay Wilds stated that Adnan Syed showed him Hae's body in the trunk of her car and that he helped Adnan bury her body in Leakin Park on the date of January 13, 1999. But the autopsy report says Hae was killed she was laying on a flat surface for at least 10 to 12 hours which makes the scenery of Jay and Adan very impossible.Jay testifies that after he and Adnan buried Hae, Adnan drove Hae's car from the park to a nearby street and dumped it. Yet no soil from Leaking Park was ever found in or on Hae's car in tests conducted by the Baltimore Police crime lab. According to Rabia, the police collected swabs from Hae Min Lee's body including vaginal...

...life depended on it. A minute and a half is the bare minimum amount of time it would have taken for Adnan to murder Hae. Considering all of the factors to the 21 minute period, it is extremely unlikely that if Adnan killed Hae, he could have completed everything by 2:36. The other part to the timeline that isn’t quite right is the phone booth Adnan supposedly used to call Jay. There is no proof, other than Jay’s story, that a phone booth existed outside of the Best Buy. Many employees did not recall it being there and landlord and property manager have no record of it. Although a lot of payphones were taken down between 1999 and 2001, a picture of Best Buy from 2001 shows that there was not a payphone. Additionally, the manager claimed there was not a record of an agreement of service between a phone company and Best Buy. Investigators never checked the records or even the existence of the payphone and solely went off Jay’s story and the record of a call on Adnan’s phone at 2:36. Back to the timeline, Jay says that he and Adnan drive to dump Hae’s car at the Park-And-Go at 3:00 and then they go buy marijuana from about 3:21 to 4:00. A call to Patrick, their dealer, is made at 3:59. Next, they go to Patapsco Park for about a half an hour at approximately 4:00. Jay describes this event in vivid detail, but then drops this from his story at trial as if it never happened. Jay claimed that Adnan wanted to be at track practice at 4:00 for an alibi, but the earliest Sarah could get back...

...Base on the expert committee report on community health nursing of the World Health Organization “A community is a social group determined by the geographic boundaries and/ or common values and interests. Its members know and interact with one another. It functions within a particular social structure and exhibits and creates norms, values and social institutions” World Health Organization (WHO), 1974, p.7). However, the direct, hands-on clinical nursing care delivered to individuals or families in a community setting as a whole is the target and the intended of the nursing practice in community health. Community health on the other hand according to the reference book is the meeting of collective needs by identifying problems and managing behaviors within the community itself and between the community and the larger society. It emphasizes the process dimension and also includes the dimensions of status and structure (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2008). The approach of looking at the care of the client in all dimension guides the nurse to think upstream and identify risks that could be prevented. The author’s subjective perspective is that it is easier said than done, one being that there is a popular misconception that by providing health care makes a healthy population in my opinion. Another point to consider is that we are caring for a culturally diverse population. Caring for the culturally diverse groups has been a focus of nursing from its beginning. As early as 1893, under...

...deciphering the waves, and then sending back data to router. It works very similar to an AM/ FM radio but it is two-way communication channel. The "City That Never Sleeps” has brought free Wi-Fi Internet access in public spaces including 16 parks and tourist attractions such as Times Square and the Battery Park ferry terminal. Free Wi-Fi connectivity, available in Bryant Park and Union Square, is powered via AT&T and NYC partner organization NYCwireless. Transit Wireless, the organization tasked with outfitting the New York City's 110-year-old subway system with wireless infrastructure, aims to provide free Wi-Fi at all of New York City's 277 underground subway station by 2016. By late 2015, New York City is going to replace ageing payphones with the LinkNYC, by the company CityBridge, a designer of a device network that will give all five NYC boroughs free wireless Internet service of one gigabit per second within a radius of 150 feet. These boots will give New Yorkers 24/7 free Internet with up to gigabit speeds, free phone calls to anywhere in the United States, a touchscreen tablets interface to access city services, wayfinding, 911 and 311 calls and free cell phone charging. The booths also known as the "Links" within the device network will also display adverts and public service announcements digitally. The city expects to earn $17.5 million in annual revenue by summer 2026 via advertisements and business...

...Imagine a world without cyber culture technology. Picture using telegrams, typewriters, and payphones to connect to the world, sending all correspondence through mail, and leaving messages on home answering machines. At one time, these outdated items were the wave of the future. Mark Twain couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the typewriter. Why aren’t these technical advances not good enough anymore? Why have these ways of communicating become historical artifacts? Most of one’s answer lies in the fact that people are constantly looking for faster, more convenient ways to achieve their goals, and cyber culture does just that. Tools such as e-mail provide one with a way to write and communicate with others in a very convenient way. The world we live in is very fast paced. Tasks such as hand writing and mailing letters have become too time consuming. As Dennis Baron writes in his essay “From Pencils to Pixels”, “…the physical effort of handwriting, crossing out, revising, cutting and pasting, in short, the writing practices I had been engaged in regularly since the age of four, now seemed to overwhelm and constrict me, and I longed for the flexibility of digitized text” (Tribble and Trubek 36). Besides the troubles of writing a letter, one would then have to stamp and seal the envelope, and rely on the trusty post office to deliver your letter in a timely manner. As essayist Adam Gopnik states, “Ten years ago, even the most literate of us wrote maybe half a dozen letters a...

...The Zodiac Killer Malisa Musick-Roberts Student-Fort Hays State University Abstract This paper focuses on the attempted profile of the Zodiac Killer who remains an unidentified serial killer active between 1968-1969. It is believed he is responsible for the attacks of seven victims, five of which died at the scene or shortly thereafter. Of the two male victims who survived, a physical description was given and a composite was generated. To this day, the case remains open. Included is a generic profile of the killer and the typology of the offender. The most descriptive profile is of the victims and their crime scenes because there is more locatable information pertaining to them. Much is unknown about the Zodiac Killer because in 1974 he stopped all communication with the newspapers and police. The paper concludes with interviewing techniques that would be used if a suspect were ever arrested or interrogated for these vicious crimes. The Zodiac Killer Offender Although it is impossible to say exactly, a physical profile includes that the Zodiac Killer is most likely a white male, 25-35 years of age, may not have done well in school, menial profession, may have little or no friends and no partner. One eyewitness stated he had short blond hair, a big face, 25-30 years of age and approximately 5 ft. 8 in. However, this profile is a mixture due to his seemingly fascination with the press, sending correspondence and phoning in to the police his crimes. He appears to be...

...in U.S. owned telephones. There was some alternative available for communication at that time. From smoke signals to semaphore, from signposts to sending letters via messenger, gradually we have discovered faster and more effective means of communicating. Before the invention of the telephone, sounds cannot transmit in a very broad distance. After the invention, communication was a breeze through. It is easy but still, it became more and more necessary to communicate instantly as times goes by. Telephones are decreasing in size and becoming more practical. Conclusion The discovery is still useful today on everyone daily basis. After years it was invented. Now, we have variety of phones, ranging from payphones to cellwatch. It is a quick and reliable way to communicate over long distance. If telephones were not invented, we had to travel from one place to another, which is not convenient.
