Although the historical record is scarce, there is no doubt the Magyars who inhabited the Carpathian basin in the 10th century bore little resemblance to Christians living in Western Europe. Rather, as Muslim, Byzantine, and Western chroniclers noted, they resembled some of the nomadic tribes who had previously pillaged Europe such as the Huns and Avars. Regino, Abbot of Prüm, wrote of the Magyars that, “They spend all their time on horseback; they travel, rest, think and talk on their horses;…

Imagine being harassed, racially profiled and just simply always looked at as a criminal even though you are not; now imagine all of that but at the tender age of eleven. Minorities, especially blacks and latino who are young often get criminalized by police officers and the general public. Punished: Policing the Lives of Black and Latino Boys was written by Victor M.Rios. Mr. Rios was a part of a gang when he was younger, which led him to become a juvenile delinquent, but through all of the…

Over the past thirteen years, many United States Marines have joined the Marine Corps with hopes of being deployed to a combat zone, and unfortunately, remain in the United States for the duration of their enlistment. I enlisted for the sole purpose and intent to deploy to Afghanistan, specifically, so I could partake in the efforts of bringing to justice the organization that attacked our country on September 11, 2001. I was fortunate enough to be one of the Marines that were scheduled to…

Play and Get Paid Like a Girl To think it is normal to make less pay, receive less recognition, or to be declined a job position based on gender might sound like an absurd thought in today’s culture. Unfortunately, gender discrimination still exists in today’s society and is especially commonplace in women’s professional sports. Men appear to have led the way in success, talent and, agility in professional sports for as long as we can remember. However, the truth of it is many women athletes go…

Cost, Efficiency and Productivity – Neal “Efficiency, productivity and competitiveness are linked. Better productivity means increased efficiency which results in a higher level of competitiveness” (GCSE, 2014). This is currently not the case for the California division of Railex, and will need to be to create a more competitive company. Due to a lack of internal accounting information it will need to be assumed that an investigation is necessary. This is to find the root cause of the costs…

major psychiatric disorder doubled the odds of having two or more incarcerations” (pg.273) (Baillargeon). Prison life is harder for those with a mental illness. Those with mental disabilities often fall victim to sexual abuse and sexual assault; compounding the problems the offender has to deal with while incarcerated. Due to prisons being understaffed, mental illness within prisons usually goes undiagnosed. Recently released inmates have little to no access to medical care. Even if they do,…

The initial U.S. military campaign strategy for Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) failed to properly plan for the US political end state of a post-Saddam Hussein Iraq. Fortunately, the knowledge and experiences gained from combat operations in OIF, coupled with the concepts of operational design, led to an improved “surge” strategy in 2007. In fact, reassessment of kinetic operations in 2006 led tactics to transition from “clear and leave” to “clear and hold” in 2007. This clear and hold tactic,…

The therapist needs to engage the client with their subconscious mind in the most effective way possible, in order that the client may gain an awareness of, and be able to access, their own potential. This highlights the essential view of the therapist as a skilled helper, enabling the client, rather than an all-knowing and all-powerful practitioner. As *Sandor Ferenczi so eloquently stated in 1916: …' the unconscious mental forces of the patient appear as the real active agent, whereas the…
