“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.

List and describe the four force multipliers. How do terrorists us force multipliers? Give examples for each force multipliers.

To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

Chicago’s budget crisis has been one of the most unfortunate events of the decade. As a former student of Chicago Public Schools, myself and other students wanted the best for our education, but CPS school teachers and faculty are given the bad news that the City Council thinks we demand too much. Resulting in the Chicago Teachers Union strike of 2012, budget cuts, and many other events impacting things within the schools, it is no longer new to students, who also encounter what goes on outside, such as political news or neighborhood violence. Those in schools feel that it has been the place to be and to feel secure. Now that I have recently graduated, I have encountered a similar want for the best for my education through my college. As

1. Understand how legislation, frameworks, codes of practice and policies relate to positive behaviour support.

Although I was not old enough to vote in this past election, I still have found ways to be active in ways other than voting. Over the summer, I represented the Tri-County Rural Electric Cooperation, my electricity provider, in Washington D.C. In order to qualify for the trip I wrote a letter regarding a current issue in electricity, the federal regulation of our electricity. On this tour I met other students from within the cooperation district and from other districts from across the United States. More importantly, I met the officials, who we elected to represent us in the House of Representatives. In this meeting with our representative, Glenn Thompson, we covered issues such as creating jobs, the upcoming election, the Supreme Court justice vacancy and other controversial topics that dominate every news channel. While we toured other major points within the District of Columbia, the national mall, the capital building, the House of Representative and the Senate House, and many others, our district’s representatives showed true citizenship for our area. We learned of many political policies and stories of our great nation, a necessity for an exemplary citizen.

15, 2011. Thanks to the passing of the California Dream Act my uncle now attends the University of California Los Angeles. It was a topical November day. I was in the beginning of eight grade year. I was looking thru my Facebook newsfeed and I see a picture of my Uncle sitting down in the middle of the State Capitol in Montgomery Alabama. Well reading this post he said “I am willing to go to jail for what I believe in’’. I remember reflecting on this. His action really motivated me and still motivated me to this day. It made me think of the Civil Right Movement of the 1960’s and how if you speak your mind it can make a difference. He sat there in the middle of the Capitol since it open till he was forcibly removed by the Capitol Police and arrested. He was willing to face deportation for a cause. I feel that if I attend this trip I can make a different. There two ways to make a different in this country protest or lobbying for it. If I would attend I would want to talk to a republican Congressman from California. If I get the opportunity to speak to the congressman/ women hopefully I can give this person a different perspective on the issue. Big things don’t happen overnight and if I am able to do that then I have already made a

I’m trying to help find Jillian as well. I just need to talk to a friend again.

As I begin to write about my first formative experience with civic engagement, my mind harks back to the 2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign. The Harford County campaign center buzzed with the excitement about electing the first African-American President. Volunteers dialed extensive phone-banking lists; campaign coordinators advertised in the Aberdeen city streets. And yet, I was in the center of it all. I immersed myself in the awe-inspiring political world. This became a pivotal time in my political development; it shaped my understanding of how political participation shapes an Electorate. For instance, I learned it would take the collective action of civic actors to register droves of voters. These formative experiences exposed me to authentic, bear bone

Now, if Reno was the one who was dead, y’all need to be questioning me, but I’m not trying to go to jail for killing a woman who’s going through the same thing I’m going through. We’re both the victims of Reno.”

Tutankhamun (Tutankhamen) was born in Egypt in 1341 B.C. In 1323 B.C. Tutankhamun died of an unknown death; he was only 17 or 18 years old. Before he died he got to live a short time as a ruler. After his body was exhumed, there have been signs that Tutankhamus could have been murdered, or died from an infection from an injury. “Historians generally agree that he was the twelfth ruler of the 18th Egyptian Dynasty, who assumed the throne when he was eight or nine years old. Before puberty he was married to his half-sister (or, possibly, niece) Ankhesenamen, daughter of Queen Nefertiti. He reigned until his death in his late teens. Some studies of his remains suggest that he was

Throughout photographic history, the threshold that many artists had to overcome was conveying the meaning of their photographs to the public if any at all, and the orientation of the subjects in their photography. The intent of portrait photography is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. Nineteenth century photo historian Alan Trachtenberg notes, “Aspiring professionals wrestled with the problem: how to arrange their sitters and manipulate the often fickle medium to produce not just a picture but a pleasing one--not just a likeness but a portrait”(Trachtenberg, 24). Through these words of Trachtenberg, we can deduce that the main problem was how photographers manipulate their subjects in a way that would

I organized and conducted rallies, advocating against Islamophobia, for racial equality for Black students experiencing mistreatment at universities, civil rights for undocumented and DACA students and recipients. I was determined to reach a broader audience so held numerous meetings, workshops, and presentations to bring more awareness to the community on the history of marginalized populations and their struggles and how those with privileged positions could enact change by being openminded and educating others.

On July 23, 2014, I went to work like a normal summer day walked into work the scent of industrial cleaner hitting my nose and burning what little nose hairs I had. It was like every other day loading the drivers for the followed by the smell of a fresh pot of coffee on the burner. As Harold, my coworker and I got up to start our day. As we finished our 3 pallets I ran out of lids and Harold took that as an excuse to go out back and have a smoke break while I cut open the new box of lids. As I rounded the last corner of the box with the brand new uline razor blade I pulled up and too fast towards myself cutting my left wrist open, Everyone has scars with each one of telling a story, whether the scars be mental or physical.

This was not on my itinerary nor what I expected, to be visiting a doctor in Tehran, though a surgeon is the appropriate term, as in plastic surgeon. Despite my lack of foresight regarding this aspect of Iran, it does serve as a prominent feature to introduce the culture. Perhaps like me, you were unaware, or maybe you knew, Iran is that place where everyone undergoes rhinoplasty, i.e./ the nose job. This to the extent where you cannot miss it but paradoxically can miss it. The paradox works on the basis, the procedure is so widespread among the natives, it becomes natural, a believable feature, and a feature I believed until the illusion was shattered by being told the truth. In the meanwhile, my arrival into the capital was fuelled with
