Alarms

Beep! Beep! Beep! You roll over in bed and smash the snooze button to dismiss the alarm clock. For the next ten minutes you lay there wondering if you really need to go to your 8AM class; what could the professor cover in one class period that you couldn’t learn from the book? Beep! Beep! Beep! Groaning, you shut the alarm off for good and roll out of bed to start the day — exhausted and cranky. Along with a majority of college students, you keep getting less sleep each night without the…

It was Abraham Lincoln who said ”A house divided against itself cannot stand”. What he meant by this was that a functioning government could not coexist if it was not united. Essentially, if the house was ideologically split, you did not have a divided house, you had no house at all. The value of a government was based on its ability to pass legislation, and if it could not do that, it’s value was not divided, it was effectively zero. This same logic can be applied to a Five-Dollar Bill. The US…

What are the Academic and policy value of learning physical security studies in Kenya?

If I were to ask a crowd full of people what is a victim, what would be most results? Most likely something similar to someone being harmed or killed due to a crime or incident that had occurred. What not many people understand is that words can be used in multiple scenarios can be used in many different ways. I was first actually introduced to the word when I began watching one of favorite shows “C.S.I Miami”. This show was mainly about murders occurring in the city and the main…

originally aired on PBS on February 19, 2013, the story of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter is examined. When the emergency alarm goes off at our school, the first question all students have, is this a drill or an actual school lockdown? Over the past ten years schools practice lockdowns and emergency evacuations on a more regular basis. What used to be a fire alarm or a tornado drill has now turned into shooter attack drills and mock SWAT team rescues at the schools. The daily news…

Explaining a particular experience to one who is not capable of hearing may be challenging if not impossible. I, as a person with hearing capabilities, have the ability to hear fire alarms, lyrics in music, my parents calling my name, and considerably more. I would explain hearing to an individual that is deaf would be through signing, as I have taken American Sign Language and learned that people who are deaf hear through their eyes. The way I would describe sound would be with my facial…

The very first wrist watches were used as accessories by women for recreational activities such as cycling and archery. They were small movements held on the wrist by leather straps to make them more practical for everyday use, when originally they were “designed to be worn on a neck chain or lapel pin”. (Dennis & Stephens, 2001). Wearing a timekeeper on the wrist proved to be more practical for those who’s lifestyles were more active. In WWI the servicemen wore their pocket watches in straps…

What is the problem with female nipples? Please, someone let me know why there is such a need to heavily censor a part of a body that is ubiquitous and natural as an ear. Every living mammalian species, male and female has nipples. But a naked uncovered ear does not get a picture flagged on Facebook or Instagram. Or worse gets your profile deleted and a ban from continuing to post your photos. Why? Why has the act of public breastfeeding become such a horrible and unsightly GOD WON’T SOMEONE…

Introduction The human heart contains various parts. All the parts work together to perform different functions. Some of the functions include contraction, relaxation, receiving, distributing, opening and closing of valves. It is important for the various parts to work together for us to be able to breathe and perform our daily activities. Imagine when one part has a malfunction, how it could affect the others and the human body as a whole. In addition, science and medicine has worked so hard…

disorderly conduct to apply.

Therefore, the requirements needed to violate the statute do not exist. The Supreme Court of New Hampshire overturned Ms. Murray’s conviction. The court also stated that as a result of the conviction being overturned there is no need…
