Growing up, I was raised in a conservative, Christian, upper-middle class home. At a young age, I listened and asked questions concerning what my parents and family members were discussing when the news came on. As I got older and started thinking more for myself, I realized I was blindly agreeing with my parents ideas on politics. It wasn’t until around sophomore year in high school that I really became fascinated with politics and the differences between liberals and conservatives. From there…
Gun control is a highly engaged debated topic and always has been. Many people feel banning guns and creating gun free zones is the answer to stopping mass shooting and people being killed daily. Except they’re wrong. According to Freedom Outpost, 92 percent of mass shooting have occurred in gun free zones. Why? The answer is simple, bad guys know good people do not have guns to protect themselves. One argument that reoccurs is not the gun that kills, but the people who kill with a gun. "The…
1. Overview With increase in the population of East Tennessee State University’s (ETSU) community and the creation of new football stadium, the cleanliness of the campus needs to be maintained and improved. Also, keeping the campus clean will help prevent some diseases, amongst which some caused by mold. Traditionally, ETSU maintenance operates on daily or biweekly routes to pick up trash and recycle bins on a designated time, regardless of whether the containers are full or not (Fig. 1-1).…
related deaths. I believe that along with outlawing assault and semi automatic weapons, there should be strict regulation on ammo. Some people say that these regulations won't matter because criminals will still illegally get firearms, and people can still kill with limited ammo. This may be true, but with less ammo available it still limits the amount of potential damage a criminal can do. Additionally buy no longer allowing semi automatics it will take more time for the ammo to be fired,…
machine pistols, but they were already highly restricted. The ban just changed the name to assault pistols and broadened the definition to include semi-automatics with two or more of the following features that also accept detachable magazines: threaded barrel, barrel shroud, an unloaded weight of 50oz, a semi-automatic version of fully automatic pistol, or a magazine that isn’t inserted through the grip. These features just don’t make any sense. Sure the threaded barrel and barrel shroud goes…
Growing up as the only child, I can vividly recall some of the difficult times my parents and I (mostly my parents) had to endure while living in the Philippines. We lived a modest lifestyle in Manila while both my parents worked as teachers in the public school system. In the Philippines, there is no designated neighborhood park for each community district; rather there is a centralize park where my parents would take me to every two to three weeks. However, that suddenly stopped when our…
The problem with using resistance as a measurement is that it depends not only on the material out of which the wire is made, but also the geometry of the wire. If we were to increase the length of wire, for example, the measured resistance would increase. Also, if we were to decrease the diameter of the wire, the measured resistance would increase. We want to define a property that describes a material's ability to transmit electrical current that is independent of the geometrical factors.…
Getting electricity Data from Doing Business A firm has to go through 7 procedures in order to obtain an electricity supply and connection. These include applications and contracts with electricity utilities, clearances from other agencies and the external and final connection works. The whole process from submitting the application to installing the final connection takes 137 calendar days and costs a substantial 126.1% of income per capita. The reliability of supply and transparency of tariffs…
This underlying and overarching theme is made with some of Yannakogeorgos 's beginning statements, “Too often overlooked are the invisible transmission control protocol (TCP) / Internet protocol (IP) networking protocols that revolutionized the military and the world by changing how humans exchange and use information” (104). The word Yannakogeorgos used “invisible” describes the protocol perfectly…
The bending Factor The approach proposed by VAN DE WIEL (2003) considers plants as flexible elements and, therefore, incorporates mechanical aspects in the analysis. In his work, VAN DE WIEL (2003) refers to the study carried out by RAHMEYER et al. (1999), in which mechanical and resistance properties of different plant species were tested. RAHMEYER et al. (1999) stablished a relationship between the force required to bend the plant to an angle of 45 degrees in terms of the plant’s modulus of…
