In Light Blue Versus Dark Blue: Attitudinal Differences in Quality-of Life Policing, Lorenzo M. Boyd explores the difference between the attitudes of Black and White police officers regarding quality-of-life arrest. Boyd explains that quality-of-life arrest focus police resources on aggressive enforcement of social and physical disorders and not only crime per se (Boyd 38, 2010). In other words, “police believe that strategically targeting disorder and/or quality-of-life violations instead of just responding to service calls is critical in preventing serious crimes” (Boyd 38, 2010). This type of policing often referred to as Broken Windows Theory or broken windows policing focus on low quality crimes such as graffiti and vandalism. These crimes are often victimless and more likely crimes against property.

Like how seasons are the changes on land, they can also be apply to oceans in temperate latitudes. The most productive seas on the planet are the seasonal seas because they border the temperate parts of the world where conditions change throughout the year. The power of the sun is constantly changing; hence there are different seasons even under the seas due to the different in sunlight radiation. In the far north, summers are warm and gentle, while winters are wracked by savage storms. Sable Island, southeast of Nova Scotia in the Atlantic Ocean is home to the world’s largest colony of gray seal, about 100,000 seals come to breed here each year. The climate at this location is heavily influenced by the sea and being located in the path of major frontal storms and cyclones, precipitation is high. Around March, the seas have warmed enough to trigger phytoplankton to appear. Phytoplankton is tiny algae, each smaller than a pinhead. During this time of the year, phytoplankton reproduces with an amazing speed and produces more annual growth than all the parts on land together. They

Although statistics have to be approached with an open mind, evidence has been released which shows overwhelmingly that good health and life-expectancy is dictated by social class, with the lower classes being subject to poorer health and lower life expectancy. In 1980 The Black Report followed by the Acheson Report in 1998 are the most influential reports on this topic. In each report they provide an in-depth explanation of the relationship between the various social and the environmental matters regarding

Farming in Hawai‘i has always been an essential part of life, and sustainability. It has kept us well-nourished, in shape, and grounded to our ‘āina. Through farming, Hawaiians were able to learn the way of their land. They knew the importance of creating life when life was needed, but they didn’t have to modify it, in order to sustain themselves. Everything was done according to the schedule of the elements, not according to the schedule of the people. Over the past few decades, farming has been modified to fit a more demanding, productive and higher income society. Farming in Hawai‘i has changed from traditional, to simply just a mass production of food. The amount of time we allow our food to grow decreases with every new innovation. With Genetically

More so, the company participated in providing coverage under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act at the federal level. Finally, Blue Shield CEO Paul Markovich opposed president

Starting with a mezzoforte trumpet tune reminiscent of classic jazz with a supporting guitar harmony, “Blue School” by the Blue Scholars feels very bold and brisk. The rhythm enters a few seconds after on the quicker side of andante -- roughly 97 bpm. MC Geologic, the voice, enters at roughly fifteen seconds in. The layering of the voice, drums, guitar, and trumpet accents create a complex and fairly dense overall rhythm. The volume for the remainder of the song sits around a forte, temporarily having a trumpet blast around fortissimo, and dropping suddenly to a mezzo piano at roughly three minutes in until 3:22 when the rapping switches to spoken voice and the forte returns. “Blue School” is able to get away with having more simple dynamics because the vocalist is able to convey his message through words so he doesn’t need to try to express it with different volumes. Vocal takes precedence in this song, even with its seeming lack of a true melody.

Macintyre et al. propose three unique explanations for why health varies based on geographical location. The first is a compositional explanation, and is focused on the individuals themselves. It takes into account, as the name implies, the composition of both the self and the group, as each individual is part of the larger community. As described by the article, this explanation includes "the characteristics of individuals concentrated in particular places" (p. 130). A second explanation is contextual, which implies that the physical and opportunistic structures within an environment, both in a physical and in a social sense, are important to explaining varied health outcomes. The third explanation is collective, which pays strong attention

Each region's environment affect the animals that live there because animals are built for certain environments, for example alligators live in the south east because they thrive off fresh water environments, ponds, marsh, wetlands, lakes, and swamps. They also serve a great purpose to the environment, because they offer more diversity into the ecosystem.
