On 7 February 2017 at 1400 a windshield survey was conducted in Roan Mountain, TN; the temperature was a pleasant 70 degrees. Roan Mountain is a town located in the Appalachian Mountains on the side of the mountain it is named for. The valley it occupies is surrounded by amazingly beautiful and diverse landscape and scenery. The population of Roan Mountain is Caucasian and has varying ages. During the windshield survey, roughly 13 people were seen out of doors. Two older gentlemen were doing yard work, three middle aged people were shopping at a grocery store, two were purchasing gasoline at the convenience store, two were walking along the river next to the park, and the remaining were witnessed walking from vehicles into various establishments. Roan Mountain has Doe Creek flowing straight though the town, its flowing waters traveling by two parks with playground equipment, and one skate park. The mountain air was fresh and a wonderful change from Johnson City. The housing was on average older. It ranged from the 1950’s to the 1990’s with a few newer builds scattered around the outskirts on larger parcels of land. Most homes were traditional frame houses, but on some of the dirt roads with dead ends, trailers could be found in varying states of disrepair. Surprisingly, Roan Mountain has a medical center with basic health care services and EMT support, a pharmacy, volunteer firefighting, and an animal hospital. I suppose if it weren’t for the tourism of Roan…

world, especially in a business environment. That sense of being a competitor is one of the driving reasons behind me wanting to attain my MBA and get a business related degree in college. I grew up with my father always telling me to be the best that I possible could, to strive for greatness. I carried this mentality when I was young in sports, and luckily that attitude transitioned into the classroom and in the workplace once I became an upperclassmen in high school. I had always struggled…

confirm that I had the infection, the test came out positive. I had no where to go, I was penniless, alone, and heartbroken. It was then that I realized what I had done, not only to myself and my future, but most importantly my parents. I called my mother as soon as I left the hospital and apologized, I knew I could never apologize enough for choosing a girl over my mother. Like any good mother, she accepted my apology and I went home for the first time in months. After a restful night, I woke…

back in England, they came to America for religious freedom. They had many rules and regulations, all revolving around their religion. For example, only the Elect were allowed to be members of the church. Then the Massachusetts Bay Colony was formed. This was formed by a group of non-Separatist Puritans who feared for their faith and for England 's future. They secured a royal charter and formed the Massachusetts Bay Colony as an escape from religious persecutions back home. Religion built the…

The first commercial wind farm in the US is going through final testing before going on line: Using a law pass by a Republican-drove Congress in 2005 and set apart by President George W. Bush, the Obama association has been lighting up the standard methodology and leasing broad patches of the ocean profundities for wind-control change. The monster machine is being mounted on a steel stage that ascents over the Atlantic Ocean around 3 miles southeast of Block Island. Around two dozen endeavors…

Since the third grade I toured several colleges, learned how apply for college, studied good academic writing, was educated on financial welfare and had many classes on understanding how to choose your career. When it came to choosing my own career my view was stuck between what is practical and what do I love? I had a flare…

minds of many by their resort to her meeting that now she hath a potent party in the country. Now if all these things have endangered us as from that foundation, and if she in particular hath disparaged all our ministers in the land that they have preached a covenant of works, . . . why this is not to be suffered. And therefore being driven to the foundation, and it being found that Mrs. Hutchinson is she that hath depraved all the ministers and hath been the cause of what is fallen out, why we…
