...Experience Paper A visit to the Cloisters Museum The Creative Voice Experience. Practical contact. Observation of facts. We live in a “soft” world where the greater percentage of the arts are viewed through some type of electronic device with a screen and usually muddled with banners of advertisements or endorsements. We view static images on screens where texture and brush strokes could never be appreciated. We watch videos of classic Shakespearian plays devoid of the elements and senses of a live performance. True experience cannot be had remotely. Experience MUST be experienced! I decided to visit the Cloisters Museum and Gardens to reach outside my comfort zone and visit a place that I not only have never been to, but had also never heard of. The Cloisters is a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art that focuses on the art and architecture of medieval Europe. The museum is located in northern Manhattan and overlooks the Hudson River. That particular day was fairly warm with light rain. Upon entry into the museum my initial reaction was how cold and damp it was in comparison to the day. Because I had not been there before, I was initially most impressed with the structure more than the art itself. It is clear that people have gone to great lengths to recreate a structure that incorporates all of the elements of medieval times. I am by no means a historian and as a result I am usually stricken by something that appeals to me visually over its historical relevance...

... The Middle Ages Chuquita Buie A3 Mr. Cleek The middle ages lasted from 500 A.D. to 1500 A.D. Most of the medieval society was based on line of formal personal relationships of honor and fealty between the king and his lords, between the lord and his knights. Life of the Middle Ages all classes was dominated by the feudal system. The jobs and occupations dictated the quality of life during the middle ages. There was plenty of entertainment like: sports, games, music, and dances. Christianity, religion was an important role in their life’s. The monks and nuns spent most of there their time praying meditating, and doing tasks like preparing medicine, or sewing, teaching, writing, and reading. Monks and nuns were very busy and organized. Clothing of peasants was very simple, while the clothing of nobility was fitted with a distinct emphasis on the sleeves of garments. Society may have liked to bathe more than one might expect. Castle residents used wooden tubs with heated from the fire in the great hall. Education was often conducted under the auspices the church.

...The Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas _________________ Applying the Lessons of History to Modern Police Leadership Training _________________ A Leadership White Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Required for Graduation from the Leadership Command College _________________ By Kenneth W. Sidenblad Bee Cave Police Department Bee Cave, Texas Date Submitted (month year) ABSTRACT Law enforcement continues to move in the direction of a profession and away from being only a vocation. Police officers of today are better trained and educated than at any time in the past. This demands police leaders be up to the challenge to lead them. Law enforcement leaders must enhance their knowledge and incorporate training ideas in use by other professions. Applying lessons from academic subject material is an important part of leadership development in many professions, and should be emphasized in training future police leaders. This will enable law enforcement leaders to develop as leaders in a profession. One academic subject used in other professions to develop leaders is the study of history. History provides a wealth of material from which valuable insights and examples of leadership may be drawn from. Lessons drawn from history are used by other professions to enhance the quality of leadership within those professions. Leadership lessons from history should be incorporated into modern police leadership...

...Olivia S. Legette Mr. Mortensen Carpentry 1 13 May 2014 Construction research paper: Carpentry The carpentry trade has been around since before 8000 B.C. This trade has more than developed since that time. From using chisels, and iron, to now using heavy equipment to build house, offices, any kind of structure of buildings. Carpenters are in high demand, without these skilled workers, the buildings wouldn’t be built. In this paper I will discuss the History, Compensation, Current demand, and the Qualifications for this trade. History Carpentry career is one of the oldest professions. Carpentry dates back to the early days of man using crude tools. Ancient Greeks showed the skills in carpentry through the temples that they have built to show reverence for their gods and goddesses. While in Asia, ancient Japanese also showed their skill in carpentry through the buildings they have constructed. These buildings dates back to 7th century and some of these buildings are still standing up to this day. We can trace the history of carpentry back to 8000 B.C. During this time, early people are using stone axes to construct their shelters. Several studies and researches showed that early Stone Age Europeans were building rectangular timber houses more than 100 feet long. Egyptians were already using copper woodworking tools as early as 4000 B.C. These copper made tools evolved into bronze tools used in 2000 B.C. Egyptians were very proficient in drilling, dovetailing, mitering...

...FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY | H.H HOLMES | AMERICAS FIRST SERIAL KILLER | | Kevin Hutter | 10/20/2011 | H.H HOLMES, THE FIRST AMERICAN SERIAL KILLER, IN THE FOLLOW RESEARCH PAPER WE WILL BE LOOKING AT PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF HIS CRIMES TROUGH HIS EARLY CHILDHOOD TILL HIS EXECUTION IN THE LATE 1800’S | Herman Webster Mudgett, better known under the alias of Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, was one of the first documented American serial killers in the modern sense of the term. Mudgett was born in Gilmanton, New Hampshire [4] to Levi Horton Mudgett and Theodore Page Price, both of whom were descended from the first non-native settlers in the area. According to the 2007 Most Evil profile on Holmes, his father was a violent alcoholic, and his mother was a devout Methodist who read the Bible to Herman. He claimed that, as a child, schoolmates forced him to view and touch a human skeleton after discovering his fear of the local doctor. The bullies initially brought him there to scare him, but instead he was utterly fascinated, and he soon became obsessed with death. Born to an affluent family, Holmes had a privileged childhood. It has been said that he appeared to be unusually intelligent at an early age. Still there were haunting signs of what was to come. He expressed an interest in medicine, which reportedly led him to practice surgery on animals. Some accounts indicate that he may have been responsible for the death of a friend. [2] Holmes also talked about his childhood...

...Delinquency in America: 1 A Search to Find Solutions to Delinquency in America Richard Micheal Stanford Criminal Justice 230 Delinquency in America: 2 Introduction A Search to Find Solutions to Delinquency in America In this paper, some of the factors that go into some of the things that happen in the lives of youth today will be examined. It will also look at what impact family and community have on youth and the morals of society. Together we can find possible solutions to drastically reduce delilnquency. Delinquency in America: 3 Family Structure, Life, and Involvement There is a rise in delinquency and a blatant lack of respect from the youth of today. This increase has been caused by a significant shift in the family dynamic since the 1950’s and 1960’s, today’s constantly changing society, the devaluation of morals in society, and desensitization caused by media and entertainment. As sad as it may be, this is the way things are today. When one thinks of the traditional American family they picture something like the Cleavers from Leave it to Beaver or the Cunninghams from Happy Days. The father would go to work all day and come home to dinner on the table. The mother would do her own equally important work keeping the household together daily. Children even had their duties; they would go to school, play some kind of sport, play in the neighborhood until dinner and just be kids. Let’s look at the role the father played fifty to sixty years ago. For the...

...1)What does the study of humanities involve? What is the relevance of humanities in architecture? 1.The study of humanities involves academic disciplines that study human culture and history. The humanities include ancient and modern languages ,literature, philosophy, religion, and visual and performing arts such as music and theatre. We learn about distant cultures or past cultures. Through the exploration of humanities we learn how to think creatively and critically to reason and ask questions. These efforts preserve the great accomplishments of the past help us understand the world we live in and give us tools to imagine the future. 2.What are the broad divisions of human history? Write a brief on each. Prehistory (meaning "before history", or "before knowledge acquired by investigation", from the Latin word for "before," præ, and historia) is the span of time before recorded history or the invention of writing systems. Prehistory refers to the period of human existence before the availability of those written records with which recorded history begins. More broadly, it can refer to all the time preceding human existence and the invention. The term "prehistory" can refer to the vast span of time since the beginning of the Universe, but more often it refers to the period since life appeared on Earth, or even more specifically to the time since human-like beings appeared.[4][5] In dividing up human prehistory, prehistorians typically use the three-age system, whereas scholars...

...terrorism have in the past concentrated on the how terrorist groups work so as to explain how individuals work. The general view of terrorism is that it is a group activity which is mainly influenced by leaders training, recruitment, obedience and conformity, solidarity and moral disengagement. Due to the imbalance that exists between the focus by scholars on terrorism that is group based on one hand and apparent threat posed by lone wolf terrorist on the other hand, necessitates the empirical and conceptual analysis of lone wolf terrorism so as to establish a good understanding of this phenomenon. The extent to which existing explanations of triggers and motivations of terrorism are associated to deeds of lone terrorist is still not clear. This paper therefore seeks to explain the history of lone wolf terrorism, the triggers and motivations of lone wolf terrorisms, the existing counterterrorism measures that can be used in combating lone wolf terrorism, the new...
