...In October of 2009, I placed an inexpensive trail camera at the feeding station located on the public land research area. This camera captured a video of one of these “other cryptids”. This was the first occurrence of a “non-Bigfoot” Nephilim creature being captured on video during my research. The trail camera was tripped by an unseen subject shaking it from the side, then, an arm passes in front of the camera. In my opinion, the unseen subject was investigating the trail camera. In front of the camera, in the thick vegetation, is the face of a creature that has features similar to the fictional character “Skeletor.” The video reveals a creature with a white face, dark deep eye sockets, and slim nose. When I first viewed this video, I considered that this might be a Bigfoot. A more thorough analysis of the footage convinced me that this creature was not a Bigfoot, but some unknown cryptid. (Exhibit A)...

...Community Windshield Survey Susan Holcomb Community Health Nursing NR443 Chamberlain College of Nursing January 19, 2014 Community Windshield Survey The community I have chosen is Douglasville, Georgia which is about 20 miles west of Atlanta, Georgia and is located inside the Atlanta Metropolitan area. While driving through the community, it seems to be like most other communities in that you can be driving through a beautiful neighborhood and two streets over you can end up in the poverty stricken area where there are drug houses. Douglasville is a very family friendly city. There are lots of young families, middle aged families and a fair amount of young Grandparents who are primary care givers for their grand kids. It is predominately white at 83% with 13% being of African American decent and other races at 4%. Most of the people and families that I was able to see driving through the community were clean and seemed well kept up. Some appeared to be well nourished; some overweight and some appeared to be fit. During the evening survey, I noticed the night life of downtown Douglasville – there were a couple of sports bars in the area with mostly males drinking. It did not appear to be unruly but it was loud. The homes in the community are of a variety. Some neighborhoods, the houses are set far apart, some neighborhoods they were too close to each other; however, this was on purpose. The houses were mostly well maintained; however, there were some areas...

...“The Road Not Taken” Joshua Henson Liberty University English 102-D01 APA Format When readers hear the title of Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” and read the poem for the first time it is likely to bring feelings that it is noble and righteous to take the so called less traveled path in life. It evokes thoughts of individualism and standing up for what is right. Once a reader studies this poem and reads in numerous times they learn this is not the case. “The Road Not Taken” is not a poem about less traveled roads, but quite the opposite. It is about the roads traveled by everyone. The poem starts off by describing two separate paths along a wooded trail. This is an image familiar with reads, both literally and figuratively. Readers should almost instantly know that Frost is talking about paths chosen in life, not the woods. This poem describes the woods and the paths beautifully, taking care to describe the state of each path. Almost immediately after the path is chosen, the poem describes the feeling of doubt with a sigh. It goes on to say that when the story of this decision is told in the future, it will be the road less traveled that was chosen. However, this poem is not titled the road less traveled; it is titled “The Road Not Taken”. What Frost is trying to explain is that sometimes in life people have to make decisions without knowing what the outcome will be. How can someone know they made the correct decision? The poem is very...

...Kirsty Archer RE: ”Sydney cyclist loses function in hand after collision with car” I write to you in relation to the before mentioned article you have written in the Sydney Morning Herald. Though I do feel for those who were injured in this collision, it begs the question; should they be on our roads at all? In Sydney alone, tax payers have facilitated a bike path plan at the cost of $5.4 million that will now be removed. In its place the government has proposed spending an unimaginable $76 million on a European-style cycle way. So in a city already crippled by congestion, we have decided to narrow roads to assist cyclists? Yet they pay no registration, no green slip, have no motors, no indicators or mirrors and weigh a mere 9kg on average more than the pedestrians (weight of bike) we do our best to shelter on footpaths? In the article it is suggested that bike lanes be installed on the stretch of road where the collision occurred, where does it end? The common complaint amongst motorists about cyclists is that they ride in large groups. Instead of being in a single file formation, they resemble a cluster and ride dangerously close to road lanes. I frequently observe cyclists on the wrong side of the road, ignoring traffic laws, going through red lights and often fail to indicate their intention of turning. I strongly believe that something needs to be done in order for this unfortunate situation to not be repeated. If cyclists want to be treated like a motorist...

...Of the many Stanislaus National Forest (StNF) venues enjoyed by visitors fond of non-motorized recreation are the user-friendly abandoned railroad corridors. StNF in Tuolumne County is laced with old railroad grades that now serve as trails. Peaceful and forested, they are survivors from the Sierra’s extensive logging history. Because most have a gentle grade, rail-trails attract exploration by a diverse population of bipeds. These woodsy paths are not the sole realm of hikers. Without traffic and exhaust fumes, mountain bikers, snowshoers, joggers, x-c skiers and the horsey set welcome the special ambiance and tranquility experienced in the forest. Scenic and mellow, the Strawberry Branch of the Sugar Pine Railway represents only a fraction...

...Police should wear body cameras at all times when they are present on the job. If a policeman is wearing a camera the person being approached will feel safer. Police will act in a better manner when the cameras are recording and attached to their uniforms. I agree that an officer should have the camera mounted on his uniform because we can see everything that happens.Police should wear body cameras because it reduces the force they will use, the camera provides efficient evidence in criminal prosecutions, and helps chiefs recognize a officers behavior. First of all , police should wear body cameras because the officer is less likely to use force and the interaction is changed between the police and a civilian because both are recorded. The University of Cambridge studies found that the use of force dropped by fifty percent when cameras are recording. Cops when encountering a civilian acts civilized and does not abuse his power because he knows everything is being recorded and he can not lie. In a previous situation the officer , George Zimmerman encountered a teenager , Trayvon Martin and killed him. There was not a camera on the police and there were no witnesses , so the policeman concluded a story. That is why there should be a camera on any officer that is on duty so he can not commit murder and deceive his way out of it. Police will not be Taylor 2 able to get off as easily as before and they...

...Hiking 1. Explain and demonstrate the main points of good hiking practice, such as pacing, speed, resting, and etiquette. Because hiking is a recreational experience, hikers expect it to be pleasant. Sometimes hikers can interfere with each others' enjoyment, or that of other users of the land, but they can minimize this interference by following good etiquette. For example: * When two groups of hikers meet on a steep trail, there may be contention for use of the trail. To avoid conflict, a custom has developed in some areas whereby the group moving uphill has the right-of-way. In other situations, the larger of the two groups will usually yield to the smaller. * Being forced to hike much faster or slower than one's natural pace can be annoying, and difficult to maintain consistently. More seriously, walking unnaturally fast dramatically increases fatigue and exhaustion, and may cause injury. If a group splits between fast and slow hikers, the slow hikers may be left behind or become lost. A common custom is to encourage the slowest hiker to hike in the lead and have everyone match that speed. Another custom is to have an experienced hiker sweep up the rear, to ensure that everyone in the group is safe and nobody straggles. * Hikers often enjoy the silence and solitude of their surroundings. Loud sounds, such as shouting or loud conversation, disrupt this enjoyment. Some hikers purposely avoid loud sounds, out of deference to other hikers. Staying quiet will also...

...Barton Creek Greenbelt. Barton Creek stretches about eight miles long from South West Austin into the heart of the city. When it rains and the creek fills with water, the swimming holes produced make for a great place to enjoy the outdoors. The Greenbelt in Austin Texas reveals itself to be unique and establishes itself as a great recreational location by bringing diverse people together who share a common goal, promoting a healthy lifestyle through exercise, and by inviting frequent park goer's to maintain Austin's beautiful scenery. The Barton Creek Greenbelt is a melting pot where all walks of life can come to enjoy a relaxing environment without the distraction of everyday life. Barton Creek has numerous swimming holes and hiking trails surrounded by plant and animal life. It's hard to tell that you're surrounded by a city with all the trees and plant life around. Every year, when the creek fills with water, it becomes a popular place to swim. One knows they're close when they hear the sounds of a drum circle or the whisper of a guitar on the wind complimented by echoing laughter. Every year I’ve gone to the creek, I always meet so many different kinds of people. It's unusual to see anything but good vibes and a positive interaction amongst the crowd. Maybe it’s just me, but when I think of a the general public getting together, I immediately think of people keeping to themselves and being sort of cliqued up in a very impersonal sense. Not in the Greenbelt and not...

...mountain in Peć. This was the first time that a peak in Kosovo was climbed. Even though people started to show interest shortly after, many mountains were near border areas and people needed special permission to visit them due to the political issue at the time. That is the reason why people were able to actually become active hikers only after the war, especially in 2003-2005. The vast majority of the terrain of Kosovo is mountainous.[2] Central mountains are not sufficiently hard to climb, yet they make a good hiking trail, their height goes from 800–1200 meters. The Mirusha river splits these mountains in two groups. The first one is located in the south-west of central mountains and includes the following: Millanoviq mountains, Gajrak, Zatriq, Bajrak and Gremnik.[3] The second group consists of Crnoljeva, Goleshi, Berisha, Kosmaqi, Drenica, Qyqavica mountains. Surrounding mountains are located near border areas. They are harder for hiking because of their steep trails and require a lot of experience and agility. Mountains that are in this group are: east ridge mountains of Albanian alps, Hasi mountains, Pashtriku peak, Sharr mountain, Kortnik, east mountains of Gallak, Kopaoniku and...

...My Escape It is just after 9:00 am on a sunny September morning. My feet have just hit the dirt of the parking lot where just a few other cars are parked. There are always the same few people who like to come here early in the morning to walk their dogs, walk themselves, or, if they're like me, they are here to run. I step from the dew soaked grass onto the clay and dirt mixture that now cover what used to be train tracks. Thoughts from my week about family, work, school, and friends along with anything else that one girl could possibly worry about, swirl around in my head like lightening bugs trying to find their way out of a mason jar. I need to let these thoughts and emotions out of my mind. A deep breath fills my lungs with crispy cold air. I begin to take off. One foot after the other until I find my pace. Suddenly the parking lot fades into the distance as if it were only a mirage. Trees that are as high as sky scrapers tower over me allowing the sunlight to disperse thought the branches. The leaves on the trees are entering their final stages of life, turning them to the most magnificent shades of red, orange, and yellow. This time of year, I always think, is what makes New England such a beautiful place to live. Along side of me, out of my peripheral vision, I see a black squirrel gathering some acorns to haul back to his nest for the winter. My feet continue to trample the ground below me cushioning my feet from the tracks below. The dirt underneath me is moist...

...oid corp ■ Polaroid Corporation Companies venturing into nonindustrialized nations often face a natural contradiction between their own goals and those of the host country. The foreign company wants an adequate return on investment and to create returns for the shareholder. The host country usually wants long-term capital investments that bring in foreign technology, create jobs based on significant value-added production and exports, and train management and workers. Polaroid's fundamental strategy in China is the same as it has been for the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and India: to tie the company's goals into the needs of these countries. Polaroid has reconciled the natural differences by focusing on points of mutual advantage, namely manufacturing for export, provided there is a demand for export goods. Like other firms, Polaroid has developed its commitment to China in stages as benchmark goals were met. It began by selling, moved to subcontracting component assembly, and when comfortable with its partner, started discussions on a joint venture. This case study focuses on the evolution of the venture and describes an important component of dealing with the domestic market-sales and marketing. This description originally appeared in Business China (July 29 and August 12, 199 1) and is adapted here with permission of the publisher, Business International Asia/Pacific Ltd. Polaroid has been selling directly into the China market since the early...

...YourLastName Instructor's Name Course Title 29 April 2013 €œ5 Broken Cameras" Guy Davidi (2011)5 Broken Cameras INTRODUCTION 5 Broken Cameras is a documentary film that premiered in the year 2011. Co-directed by a Palestine Emad Burnat and an Israeli Guy Davidi, the movie generally explains the happenings of the protests of a certain Westbank village which was directly affected by the Israeli Westbank barrier. This documentary was shot by a single person, Emat Burnat. Emat Burnat, a farmer, had bought his very first camera in the year 2005 in order to record the birth of his fourth born son Gibreel (Guy Davidi 2011). However, in 2009, Guy Davidi joined Burnat and they both began co-creating the documentary film. The plot of the movie revolves around the violent destruction of Mr Burnat’s five cameras and 5 years of extreme village tumult that a family faced. In 2009, Mr Burnat was approached by Greenhouse, a film development, with the sole aim of producing a documentary film. However, the project would only involve non violent movements as opposed to screening the whole truth. This made the deal go sour as an agreement between the two could not be reached. Burnat then later on in the year approached Davidi with whom they struck a deal. Davidi decided that Burnat would be the protagonist in the movie narrating the whole story infront of a cameraman. Davidi also passed out instructions that Burnat’s camera be used and some clips and footage of his home and family were included...

...in-vehicle cameras helps the police track down errant drivers. More videos of traffic violations recorded with these cameras are handed to the Traffic Police, as these original videos can be summited as evidence. The Traffic Police also started tracking the number of such videos last year, and noticed a higher frequency in submissions with 1,000 clips last year. Mr Derek Teo, executive director of the general Association of Singapore felt that the presence of these cameras would create a sense of responsibility among motorists, who know there are more eyes watching them. An example of such cases would be the arrest of Quek Zhen Hao last month. Quek Zhen Hao was branded a “road bully” by netizens after two videos showing him driving recklessly went viral. Thanks to the videos, the police arrested the 24-year-old and investigations are still going out. In regards to this trend, the Traffic Police remains supportive, and encourages citizens to submit video evidences. I feel that social media, being an efficient platform, is the main reason behind this trend. With a click, everyone in the world has access to what you posted in an instant. In recent 2 years, there have been many videos taken by in-car vehicles circulating online, drawing in public’s attention. For example, a video taken by an in-vehicle camera of the crash between Ferrari and Taxi instantly went viral online within hours last year, and the news drew in overwhelming attention. If the in-vehicle camera did not capture...
