Capital punishment in Singapore

Let's start our story where all stories should start. "It was the dawn of time." No! We'll get to that train wreck of a time period another time. "So what will you name the baby?" Still no, we don't need his entire life story, better to leave some stuff to the imagination. Our story starts at a time when two groups were fighting for dominance of a single country. Neither of which at this moment in time should warrant an intervention from the multiverse traveling Time Lord, but this is a…

Ryan Roth and Markell Thomas posted an ad on Craigslist for a Samsung cellphone and lured Rene Balbuena and his son to a location under the guise of making a fair deal for the cellphone. Ryan and Markell had intended to rob the person that showed up and had done so several times before. Markell made a deal in exchange for his testimony while Ryan pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, attempted murder and four counts of robbery. During the trial Ryan used the alibi defense, stating he was at…

Strategy: In order to best understand the fundamental differences between Iowa’s and Stanford’s strategy during the game, all three components of Grant’s view of strategy will be considered. The first component of strategy is to have “simple, consistent, long-term goals.” This is the only point of overlap between the teams in regard to their strategy—they both had the ultimate goal of playing their best to capture the Rose Bowl title. The second component of Grant’s view of strategy is having a…

There is a saying about how dead men tell no tales, because their dead, right? Well the author of the articles “Dead Men Talking: Solving Crime Through Science” and “Giving Faces to the Lost” would disagree with the saying. Even though dead men can’t talk physically they can tell the story of their deaths through their bones. Of course they need a little help from forensic anthropologists. Forensic anthropologists are people that examine human remains to find the identity of unknown people and…

The Steel Trap There are many different types of animal traps. There are snares that capture and entangle small mammals such as squirrels and rabbits. There are deadfall traps that crush smaller animals when triggered and there are trapping pits that are meant to capture live animals. However, the most unique trap is the body gripping trap. The body gripping trap (A.K.A the Conibear trap) was invented in 1957 by a man named Frank Conibear. The trap was supposed to be an alternative to leg-hold…

In my opinion I believe certain actions which are currently deemed right and wrong are formed by the rules of our ancestors and the society we live in. Morality is therefore decided by the standards of society. A major example within the film industry is the film trilogy including: The Purge, The Purge: Anarchy, and The Purge: Election Year. In these film, once a year for twelve hours all crime is legal including murder, assault, stealing, and selling drugs. Any and all crime that would be…

There is a distinct difference between the violence of the oppressed and the violence of the oppressor. Consider World War II, the violent actions of Nazi Germany (the oppressor) towards the Jewish people (the oppressed) are deemed incorrigible while violent actions with the goal of saving the Jewish people were fundamentally encouraged. Therefore, while violence may not always be justifiable it can be a means to an end. The justification of violence in the context of revolutions can also be…

For his DCFS clients, the Illinois Department of Human Services has developed a method known as the Screening, Assessment and Support Services or SASS is used.

are held beside the fact it’s tradition. While citizens are repeatedly told stories of war and chaos and how the Games must take place to keep peace and stability, it appears to serve more as entertainment for those of the Capitol. This is apparent when Katniss arrives in the Capitol and a TV interview airs commenting on a Game’s previous year. Two of the hosts comment on how much they enjoyed the Games; “‘Do you remember this year?’ ‘One of my favourite years and one of my favourite arenas…. At…
