but also is beside them rather than above them. Gibbs was a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps before joining NCIS and he is now a Senior NCIS Special Agent. He is a kind man, but also a great interrogator who goes off his gut as much as he does the evidence. He has a few abilities or special traits such as speaking Russian, being fluent in American sign language, and he is a trained sniper. Strangely enough, he has a special kind of relationship with one of his team members, Abby. (Jethro…

I believe that they may have used heavy panning to make the song sound as though a large orchestra and choir are performing it. Some examples of where they have used panning are: - Harmonies in the opening section are panned on both sides. - On the vocals (0:36) the line “little high, little low” is panned fully left first and then fully right. - In the opera section (beginning at 3:02) there are many examples of use of the stereo field including “Thunderbolts and lightning” and…

The Mothers of the Plaza De Mayo were direct victims of oppression. They were not only obvious victims of violence, but also victims of gender exploitation, powerlessness, and cultural imperialism as described by social justice theorist Iris Young. After reading Marguerite Bouvards “Taking space: Women and Political Power,” I have concluded that powerlessness can in fact be overcome, civil disobedience can work to bring awareness to grievances, and a three part strategy, as outlined by David…
