On Sunday, February 28, 2016 at 1635 hours, I was contacted at home by Sergeant Bernard Hopkins to respond to 15950 North Civic Center Plaza #1013 to conduct a homicide investigation. At 1730 hours, I arrived and was eventually briefed by Sergeant Dalton #5174 of the circumstances of events up to that point. After the briefing Sergeant Hopkins assigned me to conduct the crime scene investigation. The classroom was originally secured by Phoenix Police Department prior to the search warrant being…

I strongly believe that wildlife crossings for turtles and tortoises should be built more frequently on main roads. The reasons I believe this are that it is not only dangerous to the animals to not have these wildlife crossings but the driver as well, I will discuss these in more depth in this passage. One reason to have wildlife crossings is that is can be dangerous to the animals if you don’t have them. If you don’t put the tunnels or bridge then the animals have no way across the road…

The work I choose from the museum was a Bearded Bull’s Head from 2600 - 2450 BC. This was from the Sumerian, Early Dynastic III period. The bull’s head is made from copper with lapis lazuli and shell inlay which can be seen in the eyes of the bull. Since this was made from a valuable material it is thought to be used as a lintel over a door since it is too heavy for a piece of furniture. With the age of the object, it has pieces broken off of it such as the beard has only half left on. It’s not…

Charles Boulle had created one of the most extraordinary and exquisite pieces of furniture of the baroque era (Figure 1). It was an accumulation of uncommon patterns that were exaggerated with inlays constructed of merged materials such as tortoise shells, metals and ebony designs that relinquished the grace of the ingenious imaginative conceptions of the craftsman. French Baroque required a great deal of vigilant artistry and workmanship; this affected the history of furniture making and had…

The incredible shell. The ancient maya. They have been around since bc that's a long time considering it is 2016 AD. This amazing civilization created the zero, built amazing cities, created the calendar we use today, and made easy fast trade routes.

The maya have done lots of outstanding things but there is one thing that stands out the most. That would be…

World War I was one of the most barbarous catastrophe that has ever happened. The main countries who participated in the war were the Triple Entente: Great Britain, France, Russia, and later on, the United States, who were against the Central Powers: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire and Italy. Historians believed that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the event that “sparked” the war, but there were many events that happened before the assassination that led to war. The…

A war that changed modern medicine, in ways we don 't even think about. In ways such as accepting shell shock, or combat fatigue as a disorder, way likes changing medical procedure so that when you are shot the procedure is not just “remove the bullet from the exact point of entry, if possible.” In ways that torture is not the “norm” where is it considered…

transforms the public’s opinion about their enemies and of war in general. The true horrors of war are shown by the effect on the soldier’s minds. After war, many soldiers have intense flashbacks of the war as a result of suffering from what was called shell shock at the time. Now it is known as post-traumatic…

Freshwater creek is a freshwater stream located in North Cairns, and flows through the Redlynch area-which consists of rainforest, housing, farming and recreational areas. In order to have an indication of general health levels for Freshwater creek, measurements of the water parameters must be regularly checked. This is done to maintain health and prevent abnormal water qualities. Certain water qualities like dissolved nitrates, ammonia and oxygen will be measured at a site upstream from…

A Change in Scenery, A Change in Me. The majority of my early teenage years were spent hiding in a metaphorical shell, keeping my thoughts silent and contained within my mind. I was the face no one could put a name on. I was "that smart girl" who everyone knew of, but no one actually knew. Their perception of me was completely blank, and when I disappeared out of their lives, it was as if I had never been there in the first place. I was ghost. At the beginning of junior year, I transferred…
