...Athens Handout Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War, (trans. by R. Crawley) 2.15 The Synoecism of Theseus: From very early times this had been more the case with the Athenians than with others. Under Cecrops and the first kings, down to the reign of Theseus, Attica had always consisted of a number of independent townships, each with its own town hall and magistrates. Except in times of danger the king at Athens was not consulted; in ordinary seasons they carried on their government and settled their affairs without his interference; sometimes even they waged war against him, as in the case of the Eleusinians with Eumolpus against Erechtheus. In Theseus, however, they had a king of equal intelligence and power; and one of the chief features in his organization of the country was to abolish the council-chambers and magistrates of the petty cities, and to merge them in the single council-chamber and town hall of the present capital. Individuals might still enjoy their private property just as before, but they were henceforth compelled to have only one political centre, viz., Athens; which thus counted all the inhabitants of Attica among her citizens, so that when Theseus died he left a great state behind him. Plutarch, Life of Solon (trans. by B. Perrin) Solon and Draco’s Laws: 17 1 In the first place, then, he repealed the laws of Draco, all except those concerning homicide, because they were too severe and their penalties too heavy. For one penalty was assigned to...

...These past 48 hours of constantly drinking ice water was nothing close to easy. Taking a cooler to school was irritating and trying to keep the ice from melting was difficult. I found myself feeling dehydrated from not being able to drink water if there wasn’t ice in it. The most challenging part of this simulation was during track practice; my ice would melt making it difficult to stay hydrated. It was not an issue to hide my ice cube use from my family. It made me realize how easy it would be to use drugs. However, I also realized how sports keep me out of trouble for it was very hard to “use” ice cubes during practice. In the beginning of the experiment, I was thirsty but by the end of the 48 hours I became very thirsty. It frustrated me when I constantly had to put ice cubes within my drink, whether it was water, milk, or soup. I found it a burden and a long process. No, I did not get addicted to ice cubes but this simulation made me gain (to some degree) a perspective of an addict. The log we had to keep every hour made me think of “the drug” very often. I could see through an addict’s eyes- always thinking of how to get their “fix”. Using other people’s ice cubes and hiding my ice cube use made me feel like a stereotypical drug addict- stealing from friends and hiding from family. It felt strange to experiment and thinking how it would feel to be an addict because I never thought about drug use being in my future. I now see a different side to addiction and am more aware...

...Gillian Golub FI331 Final Paper There are many offices that affect the ownership of real estate, such as the Tax Assessor’s Office, Tax Commissioner’s Office, Clerk of Superior Court’s Office, Office of Planning and Zoning, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Agriculture Extension Service, and Alabama Forestry Commission. All these different offices are very similar but have significant duties. The Tax Assessor is an elected official by the county, and is responsible for locating taxable property in the County. The Tax Assessor’s Office also assesses the value, identifying the owner, and publishing annual and supplemental assessment rolls. There are a few types of property that are tax-exempt. Some commonly granted exemptions include, property used in manufacture of other goods, property used by a tax-exempt or other parties for a charitable or other not-for-profit purpose, and property considered a “necessity of life”. Some jurisdictions offer partial or whole tax exemption to educational institutions. Certain types of property are Specifically in Alabama, a disabled veteran may receive a full property tax exemption on his/her primary residence if the veteran is 100 percent disabled as a result of service and has a net annual income of 12,000 or less. The reason why a tax assessor is important, and we need assessments of our properties is to fairly collect property taxes. Property taxes are a primary source of revenue for many local governments. The next office that...

...some of many forms of lies. Whether lying is a positive or a negative thing is a question that many people have different views on. Humans are very selfish, everyone lives for themselves, everything someone does is something that is in their best interest. Whether you're a Politician, insurance salesman, a real-estate agent, or simply just an average Joe doing nothing special you're going to be lying countless times throughout your life to people you hate and love. And that is okay because it's your life and if you can get what you want or avoid trouble then why not. Lying is generally seen as a bad thing, if you've never met someone but you hear that person has a reputation for being a liar, then you'll probably avoid having a relationship with that person. However it's not always a bad thing because many lies will make people feel better about themselves. For instance, Stephanie Ericsson who wrote an essay on lying, "The Ways We Lie", discusses many forms of lying such as the white lie. This lie being one of the good lies "The white lie assumes that the truth will cause more damage than a simple, harmless untruth" (349). So if your kids draw you a dog on a piece of paper with crayons and it looks like a bunch of lines you would commend them on their effort rather than telling them they did a terrible job. This is a good thing because if you told them they did a terrible job their feelings would be hurt and they'd probably be discouraged to try other things in the future because...

...place in Mumbra was shocking, but not unexpected. It was a disaster waiting to happen. And this could have been anywhere in the Thane district — Mumbra-Kalwa, Kalyan-Dombivli, Bhiwandi, Mira-Bhayander or Vasai-Virar. related story Thane building collapse worst in Maharashtra, kills 56 * 72 dead in Thane building collapse; 2 builders arrested Over the past two decades, these areas have witnessed unprecedented real estate development since they are close to Mumbai. Those working in the financial capital but unable to afford houses in the city chose to buy and rent properties in these areas. The high demand for houses, complex rules for building construction and availability of land gave birth to an unholy nexus of builders, politicians and local administration officials. The greed for profit further led to land grab, inferior-quality construction and even defrauding of buyers. The influence of the real estate mafia can be understood by looking at elected representatives at various levels. A majority of them have direct or indirect connection to the real estate industry. Little wonder then that there was no check on quality, no accountability and none of the authorities bothered to stop the mafia. A couple of probe panels appointed by the government had even nailed the politicians and bureaucrats responsible for illegal structures, but no action was taken. Suburbs like Kalwa-Mumbra, Mira-Bhayander and Vasai-Virar have thousands of illegal, inferior-quality buildings...

...Research Paper: Animal Operations and Residential Property Values Animal operations are more concentrated than ever before with the facilities handling much larger numbers than traditional farms. This research paper was for the analysis of attempting to find a relation between animal feeding and processing operations and the impact this has on the value of the houses in these communities. It is found that a larger concentration of animals impacts the quality of surrounding air and water. These facilities also impact the economic conditions of communities in which they are located. This article formulated together current literature on the topic, which will be useful to appraisers who have to conduct valuations where these facilities are located. This paper was put together since research capabilities have been expanded to get more accurate results; the first research on the topic analyzed 300 sales transactions, followed by another one at 8,090 sales transactions. Also, GIS by local governments has increased which allow researchers to be able to conduct more thorough data. Animal operations (AO) are broadly defined as facilities where animals are raised or brought for slaughter. The takeaway is that AO impact on valuations is related to proximity and size; many other internal factors are also taken into consideration. The study confirms valuations impact from an earlier study at a range of 3.1% to 26% depending on multiple factors. This is crucial for appraisals to be aware...

...Selling real estate is hard work. While from the outside it might look like a simple matter of matching a person, couple or family with their perfect home, there's more that goes into being an agent. If you're willing to hustle, though, you are not limited to the amount of money you can make as an agent. This is appealing to many people who want to be compensated for the amount of work that they do. Tasks for a Real Estate Agent If you thought a real estate agent did nothing except show houses, you might be surprised to learn all that they do. What does a real estate agent do during a given day? If they are selling a home to a buyer, they must meet with the client and determine their wish list. While many clients have a concrete list of wants and needs, others might not be as decisive. A real estate agent is often called on to be a mind reader to determine the perfect home for the client....
