...We both chose our participants because we knew them and felt like they would be able to feel comfortable speaking to us. In order to get them to engage with us positively we described the class and what was the purpose for our research. We also assured confidentiality of their identity. After receiving their consent to be interviewed, we conducted semi-structured interviews, of about an hour long for each interview. Prior to the interview, we prepared some open-ended questions for the interviewees instead of simply ‘yes’ or no’ questions. This way we would be able to allow them to go as much in depth as they would like and get more insight on their first or second hand experiences with the justice system. As they spoke we asked follow up questions...

...Hedgerows are a semi- natural habitat that have been a major part of the British countryside from as early as the time of the Romans over 2000 years ago where they were used as field and property boundaries. But in recent years the advances in agriculture and lack of knowledge of the conservational value of hedgerows has meant hedgerows have been replaced by easy to manage fences or left unmanaged, resulting in hedgerows turning into relict hedgerows (overgrown and unable to support the unique biodiversity) or into lines of trees (Staley et al., 2015), this has led to an annual loss of hedgerows at about 7000m (Read, 1999). The structural condition of a hedgerow greatly affects the value of the hedgerow as a habitat for wildlife. There’s a...

...The semi-/prehensile tail has independently evolved at least 14 times across 50 genera from 14 families of arboreal mammals, including Cebidae and Atelidae within Platyrrhini (New World monkeys) [1, 2]. Despite the importance of the semi-/prehensile tail for balance and support during locomotion and suspensory postures [3-8], literature lacks description about its motor coordination and control. Here, we report that wild bearded capuchin monkeys, Sapajus libidinosus (previously known as Cebus libidinosus) use their semi-prehensile tail as a variable cantilever; the vestibular and/or kinaesthetic cues associated with downward motion apparently trigger anchoring by the tail at the moment its support is needed to prevent the body from dropping....

...there are some studies in housing portfolio management (Hui, 2010; Lee and Ting, 2011). In addition, no study has been undertaken to compare the inflation-hedging attributes of different types of residential property. Given the unique features of the Malaysian housing market, a dedicated study in this market is critical. Inflation-hedging characteristics 65 4. Data and methodology Data To assess the inflation-hedging features of Malaysian residential property, the quarterly Malaysian housing indices from the Valuation and Property Services Department, Malaysia over 1999:Q1-2012:Q1 were obtained.

Different Uses of Semi-Modal Verb GET 14 Conclusions 19 Bibliography 20 Introduction Human language is truly unique as it allows us to talk about things beyond here and now. The way we do so is through the Tense, Aspect and Modality systems of natural language. Modality is what this paper is about. Roughly speaking, modality allows us to talk about events that may not have happened, but are desired or required. Modality is completely autonomous unit, and it affects our language usage in many ways. Tense and Modality are undeniably interconnected: what used to be a possibility a month ago may not be one today. Tense and Aspect are likewise related: a punctual event that took place yesterday may not hold at present, but an event (or state) that is more durative may still hold. The primary function of modal verbs is to enable us to talk about possibilities and necessities. We can talk about the ways the world should be, were there peace on Earth, how it might have been, would Christopher Columbus not have landed in America, etc... This ability to go beyond...

...STUDY REPORT SR 295 (2013) Auckland housing forecasts and the Unitary Plan IC Page The work reported here was funded by BRANZ from the Building Research Levy. © BRANZ 2013 ISSN: 1179-6197 Preface This report describes some aspects of the Auckland Plan related to zoning and the effect on new housing. It was produced because it is believed new housing types in Auckland will change from a predominance of detached to a larger percentage of multi-unit type housing. This will be a mix of terraced housing and low, medium and high rise apartments. Acknowledgments This work was funded by the Building Research Levy. Note This report is intended for builders and designers. It provides details of the Auckland Plan and the BRANZ interpretation of the types of housing, location and timing of their construction. i Auckland housing forecasts and the Unitary Plan BRANZ Study Report SR 295 IC Page Abstract The Auckland Plan sets out the strategic direction for the future of Auckland. It covers economic, social and environmental considerations, housing, physical infrastructure, and transport. Included in the Plan are zones for various housing types, with an emphasis on intensification of housing mainly within the planned metropolitan urban limit (MUL). The relevance to the building industry is that housing types are changing and builders and designers need to be aware the predominance of detached housing in new builds is coming to an end. ii Contents 1. 2...

...Townhome pods are pieces of land that will be sub-divided into individual parcels once townhomes improvements are built. If a plat indicates individual ready-to-build lots and upon a filed inspection you find that there are utilities for each future parcel already in place, then the highest and best use of the pods are single family townhome lots and as such are valued as units buildable for said townhomes. Each unit buildable lot value is calculated by using the allocation method of land valuation, which is recognized nationally in the appraisal industry. In using this method you estimate the amount of value that the land contributes to the total value of the parcels by analyzing improved sales and applying land to building ratios from similar market areas. When there are insufficient vacant land sales available the land allocation method is commonly used because it gives reasonably accurate land values. The most repeating relationship of land to improvement is 20% land, 80% improvement, therefore, this is the ratio you should use in allocating value. Mass appraisal consists of valuing thousands of properties. In order to be consistent we use several tools to determine market value. These tools assist the appraiser in analyzing sales of comparable properties, any potential income that the property might be able to produce, the cost to replace the improvements on the property (if any) and any other factors that might affect the market value. Using an approved schedule...
