...HUM 130 2/28/2012 1) Cather presents Professor St. Peter as ill-at-ease with modernity. Consider how the Professor’s anti-modernist inclinations overlap with those of others who played vital roles in the shaping of the U.S. Southwest, such as the Mugwumps or Cather, herself. Specifically, you might consider how in a novel set largely in the Midwest, Tom Outland comes to personify elements of the romanticized Southwest, for the Professor, for other Midwesterners, and for the novel’s readers. The Professor has the same views as many of the people who shaped the south west especially the views of Cather. Cather and the Professor are not big fans of the changing ways in America, the economic drive in every industry made them upset. They both believed that the old world way of life was better and simpler, more pure in a sense than the new industrial very money motivated new world. Cather and the Professor are pretty much the same person, they both grew up in a more rural area, had older homes simpler lives. Then they both become very successful, they have means in which to do what they want which is ironic because they shun people trying to make a name for themselves and generate wealth. The Professor and Cather both have many similarities with the Mugwumps, again they are all against the "new money" Industrialists. They all also believe that the Southwest was a way to escape the industrial east. The problem that occurred with the Mugwumps and indeed with Cather is when...

The Eastern Illinois University Athletic Department is rich in history. Eastern Illinois University is a Division I University in Charleston, Illinois. It has a full-time enrollment of about thirteen thousand students and about 500 of those are student athletes.

Problem Statement African-American, Cantonese, Peruvian, Jewish, Catholic, and Baptist, What do all of these have in common? They are all different classifications of people in the world we live in. The world is made up of many different classifications of people. America is one of the most diverse populations in the entire world.

...PHIL 3515 Arizona Immigration Law-Was it wrong? If a state passes through a law that takes away people’s rights and freedom because you’re considered to be a minority, is it racist? The law I’m referring to is the Arizona SB 1070, which was introduced in 2010 by the Arizona House Bill 2162, and then signed by Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona.2 The Arizona SB 1070 (also known as The Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act) is a legislative Act in Arizona that at the time it was brought up, it was the widest and strictest anti-illegal immigration measure in recent U.S. history.2 The law reads that every alien living in the United States over that is fourteen years or older must have registration papers or documents in their possession at all times; if this condition isn’t followed, its considered a federal misdemeanor crime. The law also allows people in the police force to stop anyone who looks or seems to be from another country, to check if they have the right documents in their possession.2. While the law specifies who “aliens are”, the law makers and officials clearly target the Hispanic race in living in Arizona. According to the Census numbers, the Hispanic population has grown over 50% from 1990 to 2012, which also includes the number of undocumented immigrants living in Arizona.4 The total Latino population in Arizona is increasing every year and the Arizona officials believe that the only way to contain it is by forcing them out of the country. 4 I believe...

...Christi Bickford POS 301 – Arizona and Federal Government November 11, 2012 Arizona Statehood This was the oldest time in Arizona history. There were various types of people living at this time. One of which is the Paelo people. The Hohokam people settled in the southern parts of Arizona in the early 300’s. The Hohokams introduced highly extensive canals and watering systems.. The Hohokam and Anasazi people began the process of finding new ways to be successful in producing agricultural crops. As time when on, the Hohokam people became very advanced in irrigation. They contributed to the creation and establishment of more advanced irrigation networks. Around 500BC the Pueblo people came to Arizona. These people built many elaborate residences, for those times, in the region. They were a people that developed the use of cotton fiber and underground chambers to build their homes. It is a very amazing history of the beginnings of Arizona. The people of the time were very much advanced for the time and began to master crops and homes that would flourish in the Arizona territory. During this time the Spanish colonist began to steadily populate Arizona. They were in search of the silver and other hidden treasure of the territory. Many Spanish colonists including Fray Marcos and other colonist came looking for the sliver deposits they had trouble making the territory bigger. The Apache and Tohono O’odham Indian tribes would not allow the colonist to travel north...

...Issues Which state claims jurisdiction on this case? Where did the injury actually occur? Facts Mr. Pounders endured asbestos exposure while living and working in New Mexico. Mr. Pounders did not develop mesothelioma until years later while he resided in Arizona. Mrs. Pounders claims that there was an incubation period, and that the injury occurred when they were residing in Arizona. Enserch claims that the injury occurred in New Mexico where Mr. Pounders initially came into contact with the asbestos. Rules Arizona follows Jackson v. Chandler, 204 Ariz. 135, 136 PP 5, 61 P.3d 17, 18 (2003). Section 175, entitled “Right of Action for Death,” initially directs us to look to….the local law of the state where the injury occurred…unless with respect to the particular issue, some other state has a more significant relationship under the principles sated to the occurrence and the parties in which event the local law of the other state will be applied. The first Restatement adopted the rule of lex loci delicti, or “place of wrong,” as the controlling factor when determining which state’s law applied. It defined the “place of wrong’ as where the “last event necessary to make an actor liable for an alleged tort takes place.” Restatement (First) of Conflict of Laws 377. Note 1 to 377 explains that the place of wrong is where the “harmful force takes effect upon the body.” Read in conjunction with 377’s last-event-necessary rule, Note 1 clarifies that the harmful force takes effect...

...Mr magoo Just for you :) Lately I've taken up the sport of fishing. Yes, I purchased a pink rod, and no, I still haven't caught anything. At least it gives me something to do. And today I need something to do. I'm sure today is the day! The sky is gray, the rain is falling, well sprinkling actually, and the fish have got to be out. That pink little rod is going to go through some serious flex when a big one is hanging on. It'll be stuck, but saying that it's hanging makes me feel a little better about myself... I've got the hot dogs ready to go and my guy to fix the line when it gets tangled. Just a few hours of work left and I'll be nooodlin'! Pictures to come! On June 16-23, 2012 Grand Canyon National Park is hosting its 22nd Annual Star Party. All are invited to join as the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association and Saguaro Astronomy Club of Phoenix provide their knowledge and free telescope viewings each day. Visitors will be able to view Saturn along with star clusters and galaxies during the night, and the sun and planet Mercury by day. Everyone is encouraged to dress warmly because temperatures drop in the evenings. All visitors are also being advised to bring flashlights to navigate the telescope areas. This is the first time I've been able to reflect on the trip I took Easter weekend. 10 friends and I hiked from Hermit's Rest to Monument Creek in the Grand Canyon. I was given an assignment to show myself "taking a leap" and the obstacles this trip put me through...

...will be the Navajo’s beliefs and values, sickness and healing, kinship, and their social organization. “Pastoralists are those who regularly move in search of naturally occurring grass and water.” (Nowak & Laird, 2010) Navajo’s are an Indian tribe that live on reservations and sometimes reside on public domains outside of the reservations. The Navajo nation is the largest reservation in North America. The Navajo tribe is the natives of what is called the Four Corners region that reside in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. Navajo’s call themselves Dineh, meaning “the people.” “Up until 1848, the land on which the Navajos lived had belonged to Mexico. The Navajos had to continually fight not only the Spanish, but also other Indian tribes in order to live on this land.” (Oracle ThinkQuest, The Navajo People) They continued this fight up until the 1850’s and 1860’s when Americans built Fort Defiance for the Navajo country, near what is now called Window Rock, Arizona. Only soon to be captured and killed by the Americans. After having to surrender and forced to walk 300 miles to Fort Sumner in eastern New Mexico and years of being treated horribly they were allowed to return to their homeland. After many years of this they finally got to return to their normal lives of farming, herding sheep, and weaving. They valued their sheepherding and weaving. This became their way of life. “They found value from the Curro sheep, including fiver for weaving and...

...California has had their fair share of problems regarding the amount of water that had supposed to been allocated to them or surplus water that the other states never used. In the 1930’s, Southern California’s rights to the river water were thought to be settled and solidified when several agencies signed water delivery contracts with the Secretary of the Interior. The contracts stated the priorities, to use and store California’s portion of the California River water. Over the past 25 years or so, more than 20 cases of Indian land and water rights have been settled and there is still work to be done. Many Indian tribes now occupy the Colorado River with rightful claims to water. Most of the many Indian tribes reside in the state of Arizona. The Navajo Nation is one of the...

...This essay describes three of the major reasons why people who have a busy schedule are able to attend Western Governors University (WGU). The first point argued is that they are able to complete individual classes at their own pace, including speeding through classes they find easy and taking more time on difficult classes. The second point argued is that they are able to arrange their own hours to work around their schedules, even those that work awkward or inconsistent hours. The final point argued is that they are able to work on their classes from wherever they feel most comfortable and do not have to attend classroom meetings. It is concluded from these arguments that WGU is a good place for people with busy lives to continue their education. Western Governors University: University for a Busy Lifestyle People with busy lifestyles, varying schedules, and extreme time restrictions may think that getting their college degree is impossible. WGU is a school that accommodates just these sorts of people. WGU offers all of the advantages of a traditional university in an online package.

...Heritage Assessment Arielle N. Bakhiet, RN Grand Canyon University: NRS- 429V-0101 October 11, 2015 Introduction The goal of health care providers is to return patients to the optimal health so that the patient and patient’s family can achieve a positive result. Healthcare is individualized to the patient and is further personalized to meet the needs of families with specific cultural considerations. In the United States, we are a nation of many cultures that are able to co-exist with each other, but that does not mean that the traditions of the past are forgotten. On the contrary, the traditions are what make up the individual’s core. Heritage, by definition, are traditions, achievements, and beliefs that are part of a history of a group or nation (Merriam-Webster, 2015). The heritage assessment tool is used to have a better understanding of people and family members and how to better help them. The heritage assessment tool was used to assess three different people on their culture, traditions, religious affiliations and languages that are used in their family. The cultures that were featured in the interviews are Filipino-American, German American and Native-American. The heritage tool is used to gauge the needs of the family and develop plans for health maintenance, health protection, and health restoration. Filipino- American The Romero’s- native to the Philippine’s The Philippines is a country in Southeast Asia that is a made up of a conglomerate...

...Reflecting on the week of my volunteering experience it has helped me stay in tune with what is going on in the community and experience working with others that are successful in their careers. While interacting with decision makers it made me realize that having an education works and in hand with work experience. Through the volunteering experience it has also opened a new avenue of employment that I would have not considered prior to this experience, I found that I absolutely love project management. I was able to learn all of the aspects of the different roles and lead to me actually managing site projects and over seeing a group of employees. This experience is a great experience to list on my resume for future career opportunities. Furthermore, my experience at Grand Canyon University has been very pleasant. I attribute my success in the courses to my student advisor who is consistently checking on me to make sure I am doing well in my classes and advising me on the upcoming courses. When I first started attending GCU I was not in a good place in my personal life, I wanted to drop out of my class. In working with the student advisor and professors they helped me overcome my challenges and helped me through my struggles and with my willingness to succeed I got through it. I truly give thanks to Alyssa Schultz for guiding me through my success at Grand Canyon. I am a true alumni that I have my daughter attending GCU in Phoenix as well.

The prison was originally supposed to be placed in Phoenix, Arizona, but two representatives from Yuma, Jose Redondo and R.B. Kelly wrote in the name Yuma and the planning for the building began. The prison was located east of the Gila River, North of the Colorado River, and West of Yuma. One of the reasons behind putting it here was to discourage escaping. In order to come up with the design and layout of the prison, the prison held a contest and the winner would receive $150....

...Although the town is fairly small, Munds Park Arizona is definitely a destination that would lead each visitor to an escape from reality. Tucked away in the thousands of acres of the Coconino National Forest, Munds Park Arizona flourishes with many residents and their families looking for a relaxing vacation. The location of the cabin is in an area in which cell service lacks, forcing family members to separate from the outside world and left just to focus on where they are now. This provides an individual with the opportunity for family and friends to get away from the summer heat and to appreciate the cooler weather that the destination has to offer. Munds Park is the most relaxing destination for vacation because of the pine trees of the Coconino National Forest, Odell Lake, and the presence of comforting family members throughout the experience. The elegant appearance of the pine trees surround and are within the small town of Munds Park. As one looks into the distance, they can see thousands of pines that never seem to end. All have a rough and sharp texture while their smell is energizing and delightful. With every...

...to avoid them to achieve a better life. Resident should be aware of resources available to them in their community, allowing them to feel safe. In my opinion, there is a strong relationship between healthy people and strong communities. I consider the community I live in – Phoenix, Arizona - a fairly healthy community overall, compared to most. There has been an improvement in air quality since the ban of smoking in all public areas about five years ago. The community offers a multitude of hospitals and great schools districts at walking distance for residents of each community. There is also a variety of public parks and recreation areas accessible to the general public at no cost of a very small fee. But more needs to be done when it comes to the general health of the residents of Phoenix: obesity continues to be a huge problem in my community. According to Men’s Fitness Magazine (mensfitness.com, 2012), Phoenix ranks number 18 of 50 fattest States in the USA and 41.1 percent of our resident are overweight. When we consider the link between weight and chronic preventable conditions like diabetes and Cancers, those figures are pretty serious. I believe in prevention and, though the State of Arizona and several agencies do a good job conducting campaigns raising obesity awareness throughout the...
