...Case 1 The court ruled the State failed to show that the items seized were the same items tested because the description of the items by the chemist did not match exactly the description given by the arresting officer. The court also held the State did not establish proof of handling, delivery, presence and safekeeping, which were necessary to establishing chain of custody. To avoid this result the police should always properly document the evidence and who has control of the evidence by using badge numbers and names on the forms provided for the evidence. Case 4 The defendant did intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly cause bodily injury to Shelby Hooper by biting her.At trial, the State introduced evidence that the police were dispatched to a hotel room that had recently been the scene of an altercation between appellant and Hooper. Hysterical and crying, Hooper told the officers that appellant had struck her with his fists and bitten her. Consistent with Hooper's statements, officers observed a cut on her lip and bite marks on her back and buttocks. After admitting, during questioning, that he had hit Hooper in the head with a closed fist, appellant was arrested. Hooper testified for the defense. She stated that she had provided the police with a misleading picture of what really occurred on the evening of the alleged assault. With regard to the allegation that appellant hit her with his hand, she claimed that she was the aggressor that evening and that appellant...

...Crystal Huesca Professor Wallace ENGL 1302 Composition II November 9, 2015 Infestation in Africa Collie, Asher. "Sole Hope - Offering Hope & Healthier Lives in Uganda, Africa." Sole Hope. N.p., 2014. Web. 23 Nov. 2015. This website was by far the most interesting one that a viewer can come across when researching about the jigger flea. It is a valuable resource that describes how a group of passionate, committed people are putting closed toed shoes on African children, one pair at a time. It all started with an encounter with a YouTube video, a video that touched a young couple so deep that in their hearts they knew that they had to do something to help the children who lived in Uganda. They realized that not only could they help African children live lives free from jiggers, but they could also help African men and women by teaching them a trade, how to make shoes. Young couple and founders of Sole Hope, Asher Collie and her husband Dru Collie, lived an ordinary American life. Dru managed a chain of coffee shops and Asher was building her photography business and taking care of their young children and foster children. Just by online researching and a couple of trips to Africa the couple realized that there was an issue that needed to be dealt with. Together they formed a team that created medical clinics, provided education, and jobs for the people in Uganda. After the expansion of their organization they knew they had to create a web-site that provided...

...Flea Market Observation Long Beach Outdoor Antique and Collectable Market Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure. This is exactly what goes down at the Long Beach Outdoor Antique and Collectable Market at Veterans Stadium. I had the pleasure of visiting this event last week. Let me tell you, this experience was one for the books. Being a rookie towards the flea market/ swap meet experience I had no idea what to expect. Doing a little research, I stumbled upon a definition that gave me a little foundation of what I was getting myself into. By definition, flea markets are "regularly recurring event involving the participation of several vendors of used merchandise, collectibles, discounted new merchandise--but not exclusively new merchandise at list price" (Werner 1996). This event is a multicultural leisure context. It’s filled with people of all races, heritages and religions. They are either setting up a booth to make some sort of income, came to spend some money on an awesome toy, or just came to enjoy the scenery and absorb some this splendid environment. It has got everything from vintage clothing to furniture. There are vendors selling jewelry, boots, sunglasses, art, hats and more! From the Mexican vendors, to trendy young-adults trying to launch their brand, the trading post fell nothing short of diverse. Languages such as Spanish, Chinese and other Chinese dialects could be heard throughout the tents as vendors communicated with each other and...

...give thanks to the Lord, we give back what’s ours. We share the blessings that the Lord God has given us. Through gift-giving, we can show the love that God first showed us. But in reality, we tend to think how to save money especially during these times. Where can we buy things in cheaper prices? What can I buy with this money? The solution you can have is to go to Christmas Bazaars or what we call “tiangge”. What is a tiangge? A flea market or swap meet is a type of bazaar that rents space to people who want tos sell or barter merchandise. Used goods, low quality items, and high quality items such as collectibles and antiques are commonly sold. At a tiangge, you can find stalls selling a variety of affordable products. A tiangge is a retail business. Retail is the process of selling consumer goods and/or services to customers through multiple channels of distribution to earn a profit. Demand is created through diverse target markets and promotional tactics, satisfying consumers' wants and needs through a lean supply chain. Tiangge, flea market or Bazaars can be seen everywhere we go. They sprouted in malls, unused parking lots, churches or side walks. We patronize them because they sell cheaper items compared to supermarkets or malls. Sometimes they became a nuisance to pedestrians and motorist that causes heavy traffic because they occupy most of the side walks. It is easy to find where these bazaars are. It can be around your area. Vendors put up their stalls near...

...Wilson Hasty The Effect of Nyquil on Daphnia Pulex Water Fleas Research Questions What kind of food does the subject typically eat? Will the subject’s behavior change from the dosage? Will reproduction be affected either negatively or positively? What is the best possible environment for the subjects to live in? How often do they reproduce? Hypothesis If the Daphnia Pulex water fleas consume Nyquil then it will dull the flea's senses over time, and will slowly cause adverse effects, as to drowsiness and dizziness is a common side effect in humans. I will study and measure the reproduction and/or death rates from the subjects as well as erratic behaviors they exhibit. Background Research Nyquil Generic name is acetaminophen/dextromethorphan/doxylamine/pseudoephedrine (a-seet-a-MIN-oh-fen/dex-troe-meth-OR-fan/dox-IL-a-meen/sue-do-eh-FED-rin) Nyquil is a brand name used by Vicks for relieving symptoms of the common cold and allergies.

...So Super About Super Flea While driving to Super Flea from his suburban home, Chris realizes the dramatic changes in scenery. A once vibrant industrial district of north east Kansas City, MO, now sits as a somber memory of jobs lost and poverty. Large warehouse buildings to the left and right once filled with working class citizens now lay vacant covered in graffiti and broken windows. As Chris approaches “Super Flea” he notices all eyes seem to be on him, suddenly he realizes he just drove a Mercedes S500 to the ghetto of course people are looking. Chris parks in the back forty of a gated parking lot next to a sign the reads “Park at your own risk”. While securing his belongings, a tall slender man approaches the vehicle, dressed in a dirty black tank top and grease covered blue jeans. He asks, “Sir I’m sorry to bother you, but my family and I are out of gas and trying to get home. Could you spare a dollar or two?” Chris scans the parking lot looking for any sign of a family in distress. Quickly he realizes this man just wants money. Reluctantly he pulls some change from his pocket and hands it to the man. With a smile on his face Chris says, “Hope this helps you. Have a good day.” The dirty man now grinning from ear to ear, showing off a single gold tooth says, “God bless you,” while walking away. Chris follows loosely behind as the dirty man he would soon know as Lorenzo approached the entrance to Super Flea. The large...

...Comparison of the poems “The Flea” and “If we must die” Many authors use images to convey a message from their theme in their work, as well, to enhance the meaning behind their theme. In the poems “The Flea” by John Donne, and “If we must die” by Claude McKay, both authors use images of animals to convey the theme of death, but each poem uses a different approach to death, one being symbolized by two lovers being united through a flea using a metaphor, and the other being introduced by the brutality of a hog’s life by using a persona. John Donne’s “The Flea” is a poem illustrating the metaphor of a flea to represent the sexual act and relations between a man and a woman. Portrayed through the image of the flea, which is made to seem insignificant throughout the poem, the flea goes through a “sex” journey without even knowing it. The poem maintains one speaker until the end, but has two significant characters: the speaker and his lover. While he is trying to convince his female lover to see that her virginity isn’t all that it’s hyped to be, he compares a flea to sex in the process, “It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee, And in this flea our two bloods mingled be” (line 3), this quote suggests that the flea has united the two into one. Ultimately by comparing the flea to the bond between his lover and himself, the bond that “is you and I, and this Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is” (line 12), he tries to persuade his lover that if she kills this flea, she will not only be...

...The Sun Rising by John Donne Busy old fool, unruly Sun, Why dost thou thus, Through windows, and through curtains, call on us? Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run? Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide Late schoolboys, and sour prentices, Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride, Call country ants to harvest offices, Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time. Thy beams, so reverend and strong Why shouldst thou think? I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink, But that I would not lose her sight so long: If her eyes have not blinded thine, Look, and tomorrow late, tell me Whether both the'Indias of spice and mine Be where thou leftst them, or lie here with me. Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday, And thou shalt hear: "All here in one bed lay." She'is all states, and all princes I, Nothing else is. Princes do but play us; compar'd to this, All honour's mimic, all wealth alchemy. Thou, sun, art half as happy'as we, In that the world's contracted thus; Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be To warm the world, that's done in warming us. Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere; This bed thy centre is, these walls, thy sphere.

...The Black Death was a horrifying disease that stole the lives of one-third of Europe’s population. With frightening symptoms and a rapid infection rate, many died at an exponential rate. Not only did the Black Death kill millions, but it also left a social, cultural and economic impact on Europe. Some of the symptoms included bumps on the skin, a feeling of weakness, discoloring of the skin as a result of the body’s decomposing before the person’s death, and a high intense fever. (Doc. 9) (O.I) Not only was the death painful, but also had a rapid progression. Within just the first few signs of infection, the person was expected to be dead in several days. (O.I) The Black Death was spread through trade and travel from other infected countries....

...The Story of an Hour, The Chrysanthemums, The Storm, Little Things, The Flea, and Desiree’s Baby are all works that revolve around relationships between men and women. However, even though all of these works revolve around relationships, there are many similarities and differences among them. To start things off, one similarity shared by all of the works are the false relationships between couples. Another similarity between the works are the use of things within them being used as inexplicable symbols. Also, all of the works except The Storm show women being mistreated and not appreciated by men. Now following behind those similarities of those works are differences, such as The Storm being the only one of the works which has the man caring...

...Sexual Persuasion "The Flea" by John Donne, and “To His Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvel, are two greatly similar poems about expressing love through sex. In both poems the speakers propose a sinful offer that they back up with reasonable arguments. In “The Flea”, the narrator is trying to persuade a woman to have sex with him by symbolizing a flea, while the narrator in “To His Coy Mistress” is using the idea of carpe diem to convince his lover that she must take advantage of her youth and surrender her virginity. The men design the arguments to induce thoughts of sensual nature that can be used to trick the women into accepting their sexual offers. Though the poems display their themes in different styles, both poems use clever metaphors, symbols and imagery to present a persuasive approach. While “The Flea” seems to be a rather shallow attempt to get a lover into bed, the powerful imagery and symbolism lends the poem to a much deeper analysis. Donne utilizes the most common yet filthy creature, a flea, in an attempt to bestow upon his lover a feeling of not only unity, but, ultimately, an obligation to sleep with him. The flea represents an imaginative metaphor that extends throughout the poem and incorporates great irony as the creature bites both of the lovers and feasts on the mingling of their blood. The speaker uses this imagery of the physical merging of the two lovers’ blood to evoke a sense of literal unity. He states, “And in this flea our two bloods mingled be” and...

...explored. As hypothesized, Benadryl significantly reduced the heart rate of the water flea after a period of two minutes - a 29% decrease in fact. The water flea also experienced an uneven heart rate and slowed movements. Since diphenhydramine does not discriminate between which histamine receptors that it blocks, the H3 receptors that prevent sleep and increase wakefulness are blocked - thereby leading to drowsiness (13). The uneven, slowed movement, and reduced heart rate are all indicators of the side effects that correspond with the Benadryl medication that is also specified on the label....
