Dear City Council Member Mark Squilla, I’m writing to you today because of my concern about the way SEPTA runs. Many philadelphia citizens take public transportation daily. We trust that the system will get us to our destination. I have seen that recently over a couple of years that people feel angered by SEPTA. I think the anger comes from the delays, the detours, the wait time and the physical condition of the buses and trains. The buses are old and do not run very fast at times. The…

The cell is at rest at -70mV and as it gets more positive, it reaches threshold (gets more excited). This change in electrical potential also excites neighboring sodium and potassium channels to open up in a chain reaction, which is known as the action potential. Because the sodium influx at the beginning is faster than the outflux of potassium, the inside of axon at the beginning of the excitation is negative while the outside is positive. But a little after the first sodium and potassium ion…

strike. Since mostly everyone was anxious during the whole strike the government thought it was finally time to take a stand. On June 10 Mayor Charles Frederick Gray decided to arrest the eight strike leaders and that caused a lot of trouble.

The Stranglers started out with the typical aggressive vocals and lyrics, inspired by the early punk mentality, angry attitude and alienation from…

my students, I feel that it is imperative that I continue the action research process. My goal as a teacher is to provide the best education possible to the students I teach. If there is an issue within my classroom or instruction, it is my job to fix it. Most of the time this will consist of reading literature, reflecting on my current practices, and making changes to my future practices. Other times, it may require an in-depth action research study to determine what will work for my student.…

the House of Representatives wanting to “Eliminate” Affirmative Action due to the fact that it isn’t working the way it used to and is no longer ending discrimination but creating more of it. Mr. Crapo feels that it is only helping certain minorities and not others that haven’t even been taken into consideration due to certain assumptions that they don’t need the same help as other minorities. The bill states that Affirmative Action should be eliminated because it “lowers standards of…

Affirmative Action Affirmative action was enforced to end discrimination in education and employment based on race, gender, and sex. Affirmative action is one of the many important controversies in the United States. The affirmative act was passed during the civil rights movement. “In 1961, President Kennedy was the first to use the term "affirmative action" in an Executive Order that directed government contractors” (Messerli). We always wanted to have equal opportunities for everyone including…

and must have an impact on working conditions and the possibility that there might be insufficient cover for a particular shift. Work to rule is another course of action that the fireman would have been able to implement. This would indeed hinder the senior management, forcing a reassessment of the best way forward. This course of action works by the employees not being flexible and working strictly according to the rule book. Another option open to the firemen would be the use of the ACAS…
