...the new nation after the colonies declared independence from Britain, The United States of America, came up with the articles of Confederation in order to govern the country. After the articles of Confederation was failing, the Constitutional Convention met up in Philadelphia in 1786 in order to amend the articles of Confederation. During this convention they came up with a new and improved Constitution. Both of these constitutions were very different from each other and were both opposed by different groups of people. Both of these constitutions had some drawbacks but in the new constitution things can be amended with three-quarters of the states approving the amendment. The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution that the United States of America came up with. It became the constitution of the United States from the time the United States became a nation until 1776. One key factor of the Articles of Confederation was that power was given mainly to the states rather than the federal government. The groups that supported the Articles of Confederation were famers and small merchants because the center of political power was in the state rather than the federal government which benefited them. Under the Articles of Confederation, the states were the ones whom were allowed to levy taxes and also were allowed to negotiate separate treaties with foreign countries. Since the federal government...

...INDIVIDUAL NEWS ARTICLE CARLOS GOMEZ ECO/372 3/03/2014 DARYLL BAKER INDIVIDUAL NEWS ARTICLE The news article I would like to talk about is Real Estate and Rates. Real Estate is the heart of the economy for the United States of America. Lot of businesses and jobs relay on the Real Estate market. The way the Real Estate market works in the US, is very critical. It can move and change dramatically. For example when the rates also known as APR are low, and the Real Estate market equity sky rockets, well it tends for lenders to lend out money in a more lenient way. Having so many prospect buyers and sellers, of course it depends on a prospect FICO scores, but when the market is booming, the money is moving. It gives the investors and first time homeowner purchase homes that are in the market at a reasonable price, with a great rate on the home loan. This cycle helps many businesses, since lenders are lending, well investors or homeowners start to remodel their homes. These actions can be from adding some landscaping to their properties. Also if they are adding a pool or perhaps renovating their kitchen. Businesses start to get large work orders and that helps the economy of the US. Realtors tend to get busy and they start to go out more often to restaurants for meetings with prospect buyers or sellers. Giving the hospitality industry a financial boom as well. Fortunately for the US, this creates a financial boost. Now it also benefits the buyers, when the rates...

...peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago. But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from. Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.

...Austin Decker 10-27-14 English Witches in Salem?! Today, in the year 1692, we have had word that witches are present in Salem Massachusetts. Girls have been caught dancing naked around a fire, and drinking chicken blood for sport. We are to believe that Tituba, a house maid from Barbados, is to be blamed for this. She has often been caught in the puritan environment saying alien chants and songs. The person who gave us this lead goes by the name of Abigail Williams, she is well aware of all that has been going on in Salem. Such as the weird possessions of girls in the area. Abigail tells us that the other day a poppet was found in goody proctor’s house with a needle hidden in the stomach, later to behold that day Abigail Williams pulled a needle of the same length from her stomach, coincidence? Many don’t believe so. Salem Massachusetts has always been an extremely religious environment, no one has doubted that. But the other day we received word that one girl, Betty, has been in a comatose state for the past couple of days, and when she awoke, she tried jumping out of the window to fly to her dead mother. Now hearing most of this, hopefully you are concerned about the matter at hand, well don’t be. Our hero, and very own Reverend Hale has decided to take a look into Salem, and if witches are present, he’s guaranteed to cure the unhealthy and unholy people of Salem. Reverend Hale is a not only a holy man, but also a spiritual doctor. Salem has never been in greater...

...almost the same, funny and at the same time keeping a serious tone underneath, sexism seems also to be a common point for these two author it seems to be the center of pretty much everything they’re talking about. Stereotype in the both essay as been pointed out and the authors seems to take people to that point where they are convicted enough to stop doing that thing which is stereotype not only that but they uses different other article to point to point that and say what think about it, for example, Ronald Macaulay; in his essay “Sex difference” uses novel and different other article to point the stereotype but not only that he also argues about it just as Rachel Rafelman in her essay “Party Line” uses interviews that she makes or other colleague Article to pointed that out and talk about it or argue about it, both author stick with the same idea that lead us to conclude that they are both talking about the same subject but just in two different environment, for example Rafelman in her essay she is at A Gala and Macaulay is just using Article, novel, journal to talk about the subject . In these essays the authors tone is what we can describe as having two side, funny and serious at the same time the reason why I am saying this is because in the essay the author are using it to keep use entertain and at the same time call upon our attention on the subjection or the point that they are making, like for example when she says; “…but for the women to do the same it would be breathtaking...

All rights reserved. This system requires an in-text number, rather than the year, and a list of "Cited References" that are numbered to correspond to the in-text citations. After completing a list of references, assign a number to each entry. Use one of two methods for numbering the list: Arrange references in alphabetic order and number them consecutively, or Number the references consecutively as you put them into your text. Writing In-Text Citations with Numbers. Follow these guidelines for using numbers within the text: 3 1. Place the number within parentheses (1) or brackets [2] or as a raised index numeral.

The outline reflects a student’s research and thoughts about their presentation topic. In addition, this outline helps to verify that the speech is the original work of the student. Furthermore, the instructor uses the outline to provide comments and suggestions to students for future speeches. Guidelines for writing the Preparation Outline: Please see chapter 10 for additional information about preparation outlines and a sample preparation outline with commentary. The preparation outline must be 2 to 3 pages, typed, stapled, and free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors or points will be deducted from your speech grade. Copies of PowerPoint slides (if used, print 6 slides per page) must also be stapled to the preparation outline.

...Neighborhood News Articles The terms public health and community health have been interchanged when referring to community-based or community-oriented nursing. Public health can be defined as measures taken by a society to ensure healthy conditions of the people (Lancaster & Stanhope, 2008). Public health focuses on the community or population as a whole and includes people who are “free-living” and institutionalized. Public health also works closely with the government, which creates scientific-based regulations and policies, gather information or data and generate reports of the public, and provide such reports to the public for review. Community health focuses on individuals or families within a community, both “free-living” and in institutions, without government involvement. The article, Officials confirm population worries, is about a community health issue. The community has been criticized by environmental activists about the cleanliness of the Neighborhood’s Lake. As a result of the high pollutants in the lake, the community is concerned about their healthy water supply diminishing (Apollo Group, Inc, 2010). This is a community health issue because it is focused on the health of the community that surrounds the Neighborhood’s Lake. The article did not conclude that other areas farther away from the Neighborhood Lake were being affected by the pollutants found in the lake. The article, Smoking breaks a thing of the past?, is about a public health issue. The article addresses...
