...improving law practice, successfully educating law students in giving fair ruling. Normally, my study of law must go first the five years I served in the Navy. Studying law in order to make a change in the criminal justice system is not an easy task. We live in a world where terror attacks are a threat, robbery and all criminal acts. Therefore studying law will help in giving a fair ruling whenever a criminal case is brought forward to me. When growing up, I had an interest in Navy and wanted to protect my country. I joined United States Navy SEALs for five years. How US SEAL team six conducted raids on terrorists inspired me more to join Navy. Today, I no more serve in the Navy, but my interest in studying law will incorporate a lot what I learned from the Navy. By thoroughly studying law and practicing it, my prayer is to become a qualified lawyer with a clear history and experience in any law practice. This is my first professional goal. As defense lawyer, I will use my legal training to protect the rights of the accused. I will ensure the accused have the right not to talk, the right to legal counsel, the right to be free when found not guilty, not to be searched unless ordered by a court. The above rights are incorporated in the United States constitution and are exercised to all states. I would like the admission committee to consider my experience, awards, and any rank I got in the Navy...

...Lee states that "it got to the point where the more concussions I got, the easier it was to get them." She then says, "The last one was much worse. I was feeling very angry for no reason, and the doctor said it was affecting the part of the brain that controls emotion. So I had to walk away from soccer, and that was really hard. "Her memory was impaired; she suffers from a cognitive disorder commonly known as “face blindness” (this means she struggles to recognize those she knows in out of context situations). Lee does her best to not let her injury hold her back, and in an interview explained that most people do not realize she suffers from a brain injury. In 2014, Lee ran across the U.S. raising money for the Navy SEAL Foundation and more specifically in honor a Navy SEAL who suffered a fatal brain injury in service. She was also featured on the cover of Runner’s World Magazine in...

...Ransom on the High Seas: The case of Piracy in Somalia The pirates in the coast of Somalia came to activity at the start of 2003. The main reason that provoked local Somalis to start attacking foreign cargo ships was the civil war that broke out in 1991. The Somali Civil War leads to an unstable government that lacked on authority, leadership and control to stop the rising attacks between local groups. From there, Somalia went on downhill; its population decreased over two thirds from 1991 to 2011 and by 2008, the United Nations estimated that nearly 3.2 million Somalis were dependent on food aid for survival. These pirates had nothing to live fro before attacking the ships. They started hijacking the ships in look of money and valued good, however, by the first assaults they realized that the cargo in the ships was of no use for them and there wasn’t sufficient money for pirates to benefit from it. Leading them to start capturing the employers and asking for ransoms. They often worked implicitly with fundamentalist Islamic groups to provide additional on-shore security and protection for a fee. Somali’s pirates attack using small groups on speedboats that approach merchant vessel and launch hooks to climb aboard without being detected. Once on board they use small agile weapons such as AK-47’s assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades to capture the crew. Once they have taken full control of the cargo ship, they direct it near the coast from where they will conduct...

...History of wristwatch Today, a wristwatch is considered as much of a status symbol as a device to tell time. In an age when cell phones and digital pagers display tiny quartz clocks, the mechanical wristwatch has slowly become less of an object of function and more a piece of modern culture. Walk into the boardroom of any Fortune 500 company and you’re likely to see dozens of prestigious wristwatches, including such names as Rolex, Vacheron Constantine, Frank Muller, Jaeger-LeCoultre and even Patek Philippe. However, this was not always the case. Less than 100 years ago, no self-respecting gentleman would be caught dead wearing a wristwatch. In those days of yore, real men carried pocket watches, with a gold half-hunter being the preferred status symbol of the time—no pun intended. Wristlets, as they were called, were reserved for women, and considered more of a passing fad than a serious timepiece. In fact, they were held in such disdain that many a gentlemen were actually quoted to say they “would sooner wear a skirt as wear a wristwatch”. The established watch making community looked down on them as well. Because of their size, few believed wristlets could not be made to achieve any level of accuracy, nor could they withstand the basic rigors of human activity. Therefore, very few companies produced them in quantity, with the vast majority of those being small ladies’ models, with delicate fixed wire or chain-link bracelets. This all started to change in the nineteenth century...

...H&M Case Study Since 2000 Swedish retailer’s H&M growth rate is high. Its motto is to offer fashion and quality at the best price. Nowadays H&M’s growth target is to increase the number of stores by 10 – 15 percent per year, while increasing sales in comparable units. The growth will proceed with an emphasis on and continued high profitability. While entering the U.S. market in 2000, they face several problems. The primary problem of H&M is that it tries to expand around the world too fast without spending enough time to research and analyze the market it enters. In the United States they have chosen incorrect marketing mix strategy; consequently the company has low sales and low profits. Their lack of marketing mix strategy results in the following secondary problems: H&M has not taken into account the competition of inexpensive chains such as Express, Old Navy and Wet Seal. The U.S. customers are not aware of the higher quality of H&M products. So Swedish retailer is not able to compete with U.S. rivals effectively. Another problem H&M encounters in the U.S. market is its inefficient distribution network. Company has chosen too big outlets at poor locations in the suburbs, where they have a lot of direct competitors and few customers, who look for fashion and quality products. The company has suppliers in Europe and Asia, but not in America. It probably increases the turnaround period because of the long distance between suppliers and retailers...

...Case Study- How Hollywood portrays Arabs An Overview of the portrayal Introduction Hollywood has for several decades, set an agenda as well played a propagandist role in showcasing the Arab world and the Middle East in general. This depiction has been greatly impacted by several major political events from the last few decades to a century. Political events such as the creation of the State of Israel, the revolution of the Islamic State of Iran, and the tragic events of September 11, 2001 in the United States have gone a long way to influence Hollywood’s portrayal of Arabs, very often in stereotypical and negative facets. Issues concerning the Middle East have been omnipresent in American society for several decades. There is daily news coverage of Arabs and the Middle East in all forms of media in the United States, including on television and in movies. Hollywood, for many years has depicted Arabs in stereotypical images, villain roles opposite American heroes who tend to save the day. Since the early days of Hollywood, Arabs and Muslims have been depicted overwhelmingly as villains, barbaric, inept, sinister, and incompetent and cowards. How and Why have Arabs been vilified in Hollywood? Ronald Adler and Russell Proctor II, assert that stereotyping can have a harmful effect on interracial communication, hindering professional and personal relationships (86). They also explain that “stereotyping does not always arise from bad intentions…in...

...ESSAY FOUR When someone asks for a list of the most dangerous dog breeds the first breeds that might come to mind would be the pit-bull, maybe the Rottweiler or Doberman. Those would be incorrect however. Believe it or not, there are more bites by lap dogs like the Shitsu, Yorkie than there are by some incorrectly labeled "aggressive" breeds. In studies the giant schnauzer took first place with the most incidents of bites followed closely by the Akita and Chow. As a general whole however we must remember that it is socialization, breeding and training that sculpt of a dog and its likelihood of incident rather than breed alone. I am dye hard animal lover especially for Pit-bulls and Bullmastiff breed. I cry when I see ASPCA television commercials. Having a three year old little girl and having a love for such big breed like the Mastiff and misunderstood pit-bull choosing the right breed to be around your children is very important. The question really is “What is the best dog for kids?” This is a common question, but there is no solid answer. In theory, almost any dog has the potential to get along great with children. One can speculate about which breeds “might” be best for kids, but you just never know how each individual dog will turn out. There are many factors that affect a dog’s ability to get along well with kids. Here are several things that you will need to keep in mind before you get a family dog. Obedience training is absolutely essential! Make sure someone in...

...abiding students, professors, and employees to carry concealed weapons on campuses. On June 1, 2015, Texas Governor, Greg Abbott signed the “Campus Carry” law which allows concealed handgun license owners to carry concealed weapons onto campuses and in general buildings of publicly governed institutions of higher education within Texas. Campus Carry went into effect on August 1, 2016, however as expected, anti-gun proponents did not support the law. In December 2015, pro-gun activists staged a mock mass shooting on the University of Texas campus, complete with fake cardboard guns and ketchup. Their message was that an armed campus is less vulnerable to would-be mass murderers. Chancellor of the university, William McRaven, a former Navy SEAL who owns several guns himself commented, “the presence of concealed weapons will make a campus a less safe environment.” The university President, Gregory Fenves, in support of the chancellor’s stance wrote “the presence of handguns at an institution of higher learning is contrary to our mission,” stressing that all major private universities in Texas should choose to prohibit concealed weapons on their campuses (Learning). The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has issued a Campus Carry policy from the implementation of Senate Bill 11; allowing UTSA students, faculty, staff, and administrators to carry concealed handguns in permitted areas on campus. There are several areas where handguns are not permitted to include; shared...

Terrorists have already expressed their intentions to continue their aggression towards United States. Their goal is to incur maximum economic damage, inflict mass casualty, spread unprecedented fear among citizens and thus destabilize the nation to further their agenda. Many critical sites lay across US maritime borders, all of which could be potential targets to accomplish these goals...
