Introduction: It was a hot summer morning in 2012. A 911 operator received a call at 9:45 am from a man. He reports being worried about his next door neighbor, a 38 year old hispanic woman named Anna Garcia. He informs the police that the last time he had spoken to Anna was the previous morning at around 6:30 am. He reports seeing her wear a sweater when they were experiencing a heat wave that day. Anna's dog has been barking uncontrollably. The police and the EMT arrived at Anna's house at…

can be at least partially attributed to lack of funding. Almost everyone pays a “9-1-1 service fee” as part of their phone bill. This money is then used to help fund 911 dispatch centers. Except this is not necessarily true. “The FCC’s fee reports show that since 2008, at least 20 states [including California] have diverted those dollars elsewhere. . . New York state, which has seen multiple breakdowns in its 9-1-1 systems, took in over $185 million dollars in fees in 2014, but then diverted $77…

the scales were correct. In the development of the Japanese version there was special attention put on the differences between North American and Japanese cultural difference. Results showed high internal consistency reliability with a Cronbach’s alpha of .87 and the mean inter-item correlation of .24 (Kojima et al., 2002). Factorial validity was proven by conduction a factor analysis and the researchers found “an almost identical pattern matrix with the original two-dimensional model for…

Dogs are our best friends. Would you really want to harm you friends? That’s what Cesars method insists on doing to our canine comrades. Mark Derr should be considered correct about his accusations about dog trainer Cesar Millan because his methods harm the dogs, fails to produce lasting results, and overall, is faked by Cesar Millan. Cesar’s method should be considered wrong because it inflicts emotional and physical harm on the dog. This is apparent when Mark Derr writes “...his…

1. Most aquaporins have a similar structural arrangement, consisting of a similar fold. This fold contains helices encasing a small water-conducting channel where water is able to arrange in a singular line. There are cytoplasmic and extracellular loops immersing into the membrane through opposing sides, and form two smaller helices creating a psedo transmembrane segment. Within the membrane, there are four aquaporin molecules forming a homo-tetramer, creating a fifth channel; the channel is…

and the involvement of God is His creation, as well as how this will have an impact on my career as a nursing student. For example, in the very first chapter of Genesis, it says this, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1, NIV) “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before…

I. Introduction There are many similarities and differences when it comes to the nebular hypothesis (the old – earth view) and the six – day creation (the young – earth view). There is a lot of controversy, confusion, and debate over these two views. They have actually been debated for many years. In this paper, the two views, nebular hypothesis (the old – earth view) and the six – day creation (the young – earth view), will be compared to see just how similar and different these two views…

In the series Six Feet Under, the underlying color scheme is muted and cold. The strategic use of color in the series coincides with the underlying theme of death throughout the show. The first instance of the dark color scheme is shown during the show’s theme song, in the theme song there are many items that appear in gray, brown, and white colors. The flowers in the opening song of the show start off with bright green and pink colors, which quickly turn to dark brown dull colors as the flowers…

The show opens with a fast forward to the final episode of the season, similar to season one of How to Get Away with Murder (Robinson, 2015). A station wagon is seen flying down a dirt road and we see the three main characters (who are inside the car) looking behind them in a panic. Without any further context it will cut to the opening credit sequence which are panoramic shots of New Mexico, inspired by the opening scene of chapter 39 of House of Cards (Buchman, 2015). In the pilot episode, the…
