...Relationships are what make up the world today. They shape the way things are perceived and the way that things are done, thus relationships are the building blocks that are needed to create a better world. Ann and John from the short story “The Painted Door” by Sinclair Ross, display more qualities of a healthy relationship than those of Liam and Gabriella from the short story “Bluffing” by Gail Helgason by exhibiting understanding, truthfulness and communication. Everyone strives for a better world, but not many realise how to reach this goal because there is no set way to do this. The building blocks of what make up our world today, relationships, are like buildings. Some of the buildings are properly made and sturdy, however some are faulty...

...Broken Window Concept Gerardo de Lago Abstract Modern policing have taken various forms as police chiefs looks for better ways to protect their communities, within all the available policing theories we analyzed the Broken-window concept. This policing process was defined on the 1980’s and applied to city areas where abandoned areas and disorder where obvious and led to crime controlled areas and the corresponding citizens fear to walk their own community streets at night. The theory compares the abandoned areas as parks, bus stops and empty building with an empty house where a first window is broken and if not promptly fixed other windows will be broken and very soon the house will be vandalized, doors broken open and interiors painted with graffiti. When community rules are not clear and follow by all members, a small portion will take advantage and create fear on the citizens. The basic assumption is that unattended behavior will lead to breakdown of community control. Broken Window Concept Broken-window concept is part of several different concepts developed to find a applicable strategy to overcome crime on communities, this concept is based on the hypothetic idea of an abandoned building in which someone just broke a window, the theory states that if that initially vandalized window is not promptly fixed another one will be broken and very soon the whole building will be attacked. During this paper we will discuss the basis of this theory and why the broken-window...

...The Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) is often seen as the first successful exponent of political and intellectual expression (Loewe, 1968). The reason why historians are able to reach this conclusion today is because of the archaeological work that has been done the numerous large and lavish tombs from this time period. Although they have been subject to a lot of looting, and a lot have yet to be excavated, Han tombs nevertheless provide rich information on not only the lives of individual people at the time, but also the agricultural, familial, and spiritual lives of people during the Han dynasty. According to Qinghua Guo, there have so far been 10 000 excavated graves from the Han dynasty (Guo, 2004).After a summary of the basic features of...

...Summary Three young men are walking together to a wedding, when one of them is detained by a grizzled old sailor. The young Wedding-Guest angrily demands that the Mariner let go of him, and the Mariner obeys. But the young man is transfixed by the ancient Mariner's "glittering eye" and can do nothing but sit on a stone and listen to his strange tale. The Mariner says that he sailed on a ship out of his native harbor--"below the kirk, below the hill, / Below the lighthouse top"--and into a sunny and cheerful sea. Hearing bassoon music drifting from the direction of the wedding, the Wedding-Guest imagines that the bride has entered the hall, but he is still helpless to tear himself from the Mariner's story. The Mariner recalls that the voyage quickly darkened, as a giant storm rose up in the sea and chased the ship southward. Quickly, the ship came to a frigid land "of mist and snow," where "ice, mast-high, came floating by"; the ship was hemmed inside this maze of ice. But then the sailors encountered an Albatross, a great sea bird. As it flew around the ship, the ice cracked and split, and a wind from the south propelled the ship out of the frigid regions, into a foggy stretch of water. The Albatross followed behind it, a symbol of good luck to the sailors. A pained look crosses the Mariner's face, and the Wedding-Guest asks him, "Why look'st thou so?" The Mariner confesses that he shot and killed the Albatross with his crossbow. At first, the other sailors were furious with...

Looking for ways to help the consumer investments become worth more once the economy makes a turn around.

...murder) Offense Date: 12-27-86 Date Convicted: 6-22-88 Judgment: 25 years-to-life Case Location: San Diego SYNOPSIS/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In the early morning of 28 December 1986 Cara Knott’s Volkswagen (VW) was discovered abandoned off of the Mercy road off-ramp, East of Interstate 15 (I-15) in San Diego. The keys were in the ignition, and her personal belongings to include a credit card were inside the car, unfortunately there was no signed of the 20 year old university student. The previous night around 8 p.m. Cara had called her parents to notify them that she was on her way home from her boyfriend’s house in Escondido, a drive that normally would take about 45 minutes. When she had not arrived by 10 p.m. her family went out to search for her along I-15. It was Cynthia (Cara’s sister) and her husband that found Cara’s VW on the side of the isolated off-ramp; Cara’s body was subsequently found in a creek bed 65 feet below. Cara had been strangled and thrown off the nearby bridge. A couple of issues troubled the homicide investigators; why did Cara stop her car (which was in good working order) on one of the coldest nights of the year and why did she stop on a road that at that time led nowhere? Also, there was no sign of theft since her belongings were still in the car and there were no signs of a struggle or sexual assault. Her passenger door was locked but the driver’s window was partially rolled down. These clues led homicide investigators to believe that she had stopped...

...Automobile Sustainability Report Executive Summary In our report we discuss the various methods that today’s three major automakers are using to provide their customers with up to date, state of the art products. By implementing numerous breakthrough technologies into their production systems automakers are continuously working towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production process. Throughout our report we highlight major breakthroughs throughout the industry and how they have affected each individual company. By turning their attention to a more lean production process there have been many positive changes to help eliminate waste and reduce the cost of production. These companies are making conscious efforts to not only reduce the amount of waste produced throughout their systems but also how to reuse or recycle the waste that cannot be prevented. For example we talk about how Toyota has developed automated robotics systems to help control the amount of paint that is used during their topcoat operations to prevent the use of excess paint which is normally due to human error, another example is how they are using the paint sludge in the production of other products such as anti-rust paint sprays. We also discuss how the use of returnable metal shipping containers when shipping parts can greatly reduce the amount of wasted packaging materials and wooden creates from going to the landfills every year. All of these small changes have a large impact when...
