Each year, the FBI provides research on law enforcement officers that have been killed or assaulted; many people know this as LEOKA. The goal of this data is to provide people with information through the UCR (uniform crime report) about law enforcement officers who have been feloniously and accidently killed, and also officers who have been assaulted in the line of duty. The uniform crime report presents this information through overviews and statistics about each of the victims, where they come from (the state they resided in), and also when and how they were killed. Throughout the years this has become an effective way to research and learn about this topic and understand why it is important to know about. Throughout this paper I am going to find patterns through different regions and states in the United States under all three of the topics LEOKA focuses on and find similarities and
The Yadkin, Catawba, and Cape Fear River heavily impact North Carolina’s economy. It provides hundreds of millions of dollars to North Carolina’s economy. They also provide thousands of jobs to North Carolinas citizens, improving the unemployment rate. The Yadkin River is known for having the Alcoa hydroelectric dams and pumping millions of dollars into investor’s wallets all over the world. Then, the Cape Fear provides many jobs in tourism and gains lots of money from fishing. Lastly, the Catawba River provided power and water to many business in the area.
A handful of people gathered July 11 in Ermineskin to celebrate the life, death and canonization of Kateri Tekakwitha, the Protectress of Canada. Kateri was born in 1656 in New York state and died in 1680. At the age of 4, she lost her parents and brother to smallpox; she was left with a scarred face and being
Situated just south of Tallahassee on the Gulf Coast is Florida’s own hidden treasure Wakulla. The area has an abundance of things to do including boating, fishing, snorkeling, golfing, attending festivals and other interesting events along with enjoying the unspoiled natural habit that exists in this unique area of Florida.
Speaking of skeletal remains, there is evidence of body modification at Cahokia. Gregory Perino discovered filed teeth at Cahokia. These findings showed observers that this practice was only done for a short period of time in the transition from Late Woodland Period to the Mississippian period. According to Perino, the siginificance of filing teeth cannot be explicitly determined but majority of them were thought to be ambassadors; but the fact that these filings were also found on young persons, throw off the conclusively of saying this was due to differentiating in social status (Perino 1967:541).
As hunters across the state venture out into Alaska's forests and tundra in hopes of filling their freezer with moose meat, hunters in the Lower kuskokwim have bit the bullet and hung up their rifles. They are entering the first year of a self-imposed five-year moose-hunting moratorium they hope will significantly improve their moose hunting in the future.“The main stem of the Lower Kuskokwim is one of the few places left in Alaska that has outstanding moose habitat and extremely low numbers of moose,” said Roger Seavoy, the Bethel area biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
People often hate when things are taken from them. For instance, when one is young, their parents might punish them by taking away their TV privileges for a week. This would mean that they would be forced to find a new source of entertainment or fun. Humans often attempt to adapt to the absence of their things by finding something to distract them. Another example of how humans have to adapt is when one may lose a job. Unemployment can lead to issues such as struggle to support a family. The unemployed will be forced to find new means of work and adapt to these new tasks and professional environments. For the Central and South American mammal, the kinkajou, it is a different story. What is being taken away from them is their homes. When they
Fezzik had an incredible battle with the man in black. Fezzik thought it would be easy street, but it was as hard as eating beef jerky with no teeth. The man in black was at a terrible disadvantage because he was a donut hole compared to the massive donut of Fezzik. The man in black managed to outsmart Fezzik, and managed to choke him and leave him unconscious. The man in black could beat Fezzik, by outsmarting the gentle giant. He managed to choke Fezzik, and there was no way out after that.
Would one feel right living in a world where if you are not perfect in a group of peoples eyes, there would be consequences? The citizens of the Waknuk community are finding themselves to be getting further away from perfection. This is important because as people try to be so perfect themselves and making everyone around them perfect, they are eliminating people who are not perfect making not anything but perfect.
As the power of the Abbasid caliphs diminished, a series of independent dynasties rose in various parts of Iran, some with considerable influence and power. There were numerous overlapping dynasties that existed in the area, similar to the ancient Greek city-state concept.
Once, there was a man named Maudgalyayana, or known as Mục Kiền Liên to Vietnamese people. He acted virtuously to the point where he was the Buddha’s closest disciples (Nguyen 1). However, his mother was the opposite, refusing to give beggars food and committing other horrific actions. During her lifetime, her actions built up a bad karma. So, when she died, she was promptly sent to hell.
The excavation of Catal Hoyuk by James Mellaart in Anatolia, Turkey in the 1960s, revealed a settlement that inhabited over 8,000 people during the Neolithic period. The Catal Hoyuk, meaning “fork mound” was named after a road that separated the town of Cumra. It contains the East mound as well as the West Mound. The East Mound is dated from the 7400 BC during the Neolithic, while the West Mound is dated from 6000 BC during the Chalcolithic period. In addition, Catal Hoyuk revealed an ancient city of civilization, architecture, agriculture, trading, as well as rituals, and symbolic art during the Neolithic period.
Catalyhoyuk is the site of a village that existed in central Turkey around 9,000 BP. In the text, Guillermo Algaze is quoted as having called it an “overgrown village,” with a population of about 10,000 people. There is evidence suggesting the people who lived in Catalyhoyuk planted wheat and barley and raised sheep, goats, and cattle (Feder 313). Author of The Past in Perspective, Kenneth L. Feder says architecturally everyone in Catalyhoyuk lived the same. There were no mansions, “no middle-class neighborhoods, and no poor areas.” Archeologists recovered artwork that the Catalyhoyuk people used to decorate the insides of their homes with. They used animal inspired artwork, like leopard pelts or paintings of stags and sometimes, sculptures
The silky sifaka (Propithecus candidus), or silky simpona, is a large lemur characterized by long, silky white fur. It has a very restricted range in northeastern Madagascar, where it is known locally as the simpona. It is one of the rarest mammals on Earth, and is listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as one of the world's 25 most critically endangered primates. The silky sifaka is one of nine sifaka species (genus Propithecus), and one of four former subspecies of diademed sifaka (P. diadema). Studies in 2004 and 2007 compared external proportions, genetics, and cranio-dental anatomy supporting full species status, which has generally been accepted.
