probation companies to collect fees. An increase in lawsuits against private probation companies has lead to greater scrutiny of the firms, but the scopes of these suits are limited. The private probation industry is blighted by corruption, coercive collection practices, and a lack of focus on rehabilitation and reducing recidivism. With the complexity of probation services and the lack of resources available to courts for oversight, restructuring the public-private partnership between courts…

the use of material, consecutive blocks of sound of often contrasting nature, a strong relationship between texture and timbre and a very personal approach to structure and timescale are features that are recurring in this collection and in most works by Saariaho. The collection starts with the composer’s period of ‘French Connection’. That was the period that Saariaho spent at IRCAM in Paris, which greatly affected her perception and formed the foundation of what her music style currently is. …

Qumran and in the New Testament The Twelve Minor Prophets is one of the biblical books found in several copies at Qumran. Therefore it is generally considered as one of the biblical books that had already gained an authoritative status, possibly as a collection, in the late Second temple period. However, the manuscripts of the Twelve at Qumran present a complicated and confusing picture because of its damage, mostly fragments, even small fragments exist. In addition to what may be evidence for…

The document that was most eye-opening and informing for me would be Document 25, Narrative of an Armenian Lady. Before reading her document, I had not previously heard of the Armenian Genocide so every detail provided was new information to me. I was struck by the matter-of-fact way she described the conditions of their forced journey: “…and that night we had to drink water polluted with blood” (91), “The third day after that they robbed us, and violated us near a place where there was water”…

In 2009, Alonzo King was accused of pointing a shotgun at a group of people. One of the witnesses identified him and King was charged with first- and second-degree assault. Due to a law that was passed in Maryland in 2008, police are permitted to collect a sample of DNA from any person arrested for a crime of violence or burglary. Because a charge of first-degree assault is considered a crime of violence, officials were allowed to take King’s DNA. King entered an Alford plea, which is a guilty…

Collection 2 Essay The texts in this collection focus primarily on various gender roles in certain cultures and different centuries. In Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Wife of Bath’s Tale”, women were manifested as holy figures who are to be treated purely. In the essay, “A Vindication of the Rights of Women”suggested that women were treated as housewives and instructed to be utterly submissive to men. In “The Men We Carry in Our Minds”, the gender roles of men were regarded and discussed. These…

In chapter one of Genesis in the Old Testament, it talks about creation. It took God six days to create something amazing and one day for Him to rest and to look back at His work. God worked very hard to make sure everything was correct. He went day by day, starting with day and night. Each day He had created something different. God had added the sky, made plants grow along with fruit, put stars into the sky to see at night, and lastly He created animals than humans. Each one of the six days,…

When compared to quantitative studies, qualitative studies may be viewed by some as a weaker research approach because data collection is not based on formulas and mathematical equations (Fontes & Piercy, 2000, p.175). Rather, data is collected in a more personal way, through observations, interview questions, documents, and audiovisual information. Participants in the study do not have to be random, rather they can be hand picked by the researcher for specific purposes. Qualitative research…

Their involvement in the world is deferred until they are ready to symbolize their experience through language. Jennings is aware of the dangers and delusions implicit in the creation of another system of thought, and she relies on the peaceful nature of this turning point in history to suggest the possibility a symbolic ordering of experience based on something other than the power ratio between predator and prey. In “The Animals’ Arrival,” Jennings uses the flexible form of free verse to…
