...Rendezvous Discipline Criminology is known as a ‘Rendezvous’ discipline; discuss the meaning and validity of this label The purpose of this essay is to discuss the meaning and validity of the label criminology has as a ‘rendezvous discipline’. To do this, this essay illuminates where criminology originates from and what its primary focus is. The Chicago School, Lombrosian Theory, Positivist and Classical criminology, are discussed. Other disciplines namely Sociology, Psychology, and the Criminal Justice Sector are examined and applied to the broad subject of criminology, to show the network of how this subject came to be recognised as such a discipline. Exposed are main issues that occur for the likes of criminologists and other social scientists when challenged with defining criminology; and the problems that definition’s carry with themselves. This essay will look in to the birth of criminology as a new discipline and how it has evolved in what it is known today as an applied social science. Explanation of what an ‘applied social science’ will be detailed and collectively the answer to the meaning and validity of the label of ‘rendezvous discipline’ will be provided. Topics that criminology is weaved into for instance are Globalisation, Capital Punishment, Serial Killing, Media, and Genocide.

...10-05-15 Behran Kirkan 1.Æ Rendezvous Essay “Rendezvous” is a short story written by Daniel Ransom in 1985. In the story we follow two persons with different views on life that are trying to pursue different outcomes by acting in specifics ways, that is Kim and Payton. Kim is a fifteen year old girl who has run away from home. Though she dosen't see what she has done as running away from home, as told in the text “She dosen't think of it as running away. Merely proving a point”. She wants to teach her parents a lesson and show them that she can live her own life, without her parents help or them interfering. Payton is a young man who drinks a lot and like to listen to loud music while driving. As seen in the text “Shoved between his legs is a cold can of Budweiser that stains the crotch of his tight tan slacks”, “He opens a fresh of Bud” and “The saxophone solo is over now. The drums are back. He feels young, strong, invincible”. The fact that he drinks while driving kind of symbolises his carelesness. He loves the drums from his radio, it makes him feel alive. He has dirty long hair and a cobra tattoo on his left biceps. He's a man that dosen't care about other people's feelings and what consequences his actions are going to be. The atmosphere of the story is very tense, dark and heavy. Payton really fits this atmosphere, unlike a fifteen year old girl. While he is driving increasingly fast in the Interstate and listening to the beat of the drums, the tension raises and gets...

...Rendezvous II Payton He meets her eyes as she opens the car door. She has a wild expression on her face. She looks terrified. He tries to greet her with a smile, but decides not to make the situation even more awkward. He starts the car and drives along the Interstate. They are both very quiet. His cobra tattoo itches, but he doesn’t want to rub it. The saxophone solo is on again and he turns down the volume. She looks young, he thinks. Young meat. He tries to remove the dirty thoughts in his mind, but the girl is so tempting that he cannot stop thinking about those things… She still looks terrified as if she just saw a ghost in the car. What was he thinking about? Just picking up a strange young girl? And now he thinks dirty thoughts about her? It was just like all the other victims. Young and innocent. Kim Her mind is a mess. Why didn’t she just run away from the car? He looked though, but something in her told her that she should stay in the car. She didn’t like that feeling. In the corner of her eyes, she noticed his cobra tattoo. The cobra seemed to look at her with a sneaky smile. Maybe it was just in her fantasy, but she couldn’t stop looking at it. He looked at her with his dark eyes. Something in her turned. She had a very bad gut feeling. Why didn’t she just stay at home in her warm bed with Mr Snuffles and a warm cup of tea? Okay, I’m not a little girl she thought. She tried to calm herself down, but she began to notice that...

..."I Have a Rendezvous with Death" Alan Seeger was an American poet. He lived during what is known to us as the most crucial time in man's history. The poem "I Have a Rendezvous with Death," was actually written during world war one. Without a doubt, this poem made me give death many divers thoughts. What I conclude after reading this poem is that Alan Seeger wanted people to know that dying for your country was the noblest attempt in which death takes place. All this to say that being a patriot is far more than just a privilege. The first stanza is the most striking of the three it makes a great relation between, spring, blossoms, and birth. Of course, we must not forget that at some point or another it is inevitable to escape death. All this makes a link with war, all the tons of people that died in war have them too meet death. Just as spring come around every year, it also brings about new faces and new challenges to life. These new people are probably the ones that were much to young to take part in it previously. Stanza two, takes you through the stages of death. With the angel of death, nearly holding you hand all along the way and reassuring you that everything will be fine. That you are of course doing this for your land and people. This too made me have a visual image of dead people scattered around on the fields, up on the hills. So helpless, dead and left all alone for the winter's cold. Yet, come spring their bodies no long their, probably decomposed and the first...

...……The advertisements have been described thus: "The first advertisement, without dialogue, showed Nicole in a spotted summer frock, slipping past Papa and driving away with the Clio for a rendezvous with her boyfriend. The second featured Nicole, even more chic in a black dress, and her new boyfriend taking Papa's Clio to a ball, now with Papa's consent. (Papa goes off on a romantic rendezvous, too). A third saw Nicole and Papa on a skiing holiday, as research demanded they be together for a change. In every advertisement, there is a small twist, leaving questions unanswered. In 1994, with the new generation Clio, Nicole grows up. Directed by Richard Loncraine and shot in Provence, the TVCs continue le savon populaire. Instead of the typical car advertising gimmicks of macho postures and voice-overs ranting about the new drivers side airbag, the 1994 blitz began with Nicole, now a sophisticated young woman, on a shopping trip”. Thus the series featured two dramatis personae, the person of “Papa” and the person of “Nicole”. The basic idea is that both have a lover in the neighbouring town. The question is always, who gets to go in that car; Papa to a rendezvous with a matronly French lady, and Nicole with her boyfriend. It is a simple concept, a comedy of manners, whose wit lies in the idea of mutual concealment. The scenes are all set in a southern French town with its iron balconies, terracotta roofs and stucco walls, and the French countryside. The journey is from the...

Servicing a satellite means to somehow make it so a satellite’s design life is lengthened. This can be accomplished by refueling, assisting in orbit placement, and/or performing mechanical repairs. Satellite servicing has been done already in the past during manned space missions. The problem arises when the attempt is to be made on satellites outside of human intervention like those in High Earth Orbits (HEO). The ESA and d NASA have both put forth their ideas on how to service satellites in space. The Refueler/Depot idea suggested by NASA has the plan to launch a large satellite into space in two parts. One part is the Refueler, which is agile and movable and can dock with cooperating satellites. The other half is the Depot which stores the hydrazine fuel but remains in a constant orbit above the GEO belt. ESA’s idea is of a single satellite that will...

The task was to rank them in terms of their importance for the crew, to allow them to reach the rendezvous point. The Strategy followed by Group-5: * Each individual in the group was asked to prioritize and rank the items provided in the list for successful landing to the rendezvous spot. * Next the same step was performed along with the group members, so as to redefine and refine the most necessary items to reach the destination successfully. * Based on our individual rankings, discussions with the group members, some conflicts and at the end consensus on the ranking, we refined the group rankings for the items supported by common facts and proper illustration by the group members. * Example if one member knew what a stellar map is and why is it used and how important can the item be in such a situation the member explained his/her reason for the same, once convinced all the members ranked stellar map as suggested by that member. The approach was somewhat like selecting the best flower out of 5 bunches of flowers. * On the factors why the item is necessary, if all the members agreed to those particular facts and explanation provided then that item was given a rank based on the hierarchical approach. . * This...

Payton is driving a vehicle, and the word WV in the text (REFERER) tells that he is driving a Firebird, which is an old american car. He is described with long dirty hair, and he is probably in the 20 or older, but he still got the badass ’look’, since only ’cool’ men drove a Firebird that time, he also got a cobra tattoed on his left biceps. While driving he thinks about a priest, who talks about that he would have reported him to the authority, and Payton is like ’screw that’ and speeds up. The priest makes it sound like Payton might have killed somebody, or some other terrible crime. The drums in his car makes him more agressive. The second character Kim is an 15 year old girl, who probably ran way from home. She is a typical teenager, who is still in the 10th grade...

...Rendezvous Short summary The story is about a man called Payton and a girl called Kim. It starts like it’s to stories we’re reading at the same time and ends up as one. Payton is driving on the interstate. He’s driving faster and faster. He is drinking while driving. He has got a cobra tattoo on his biceps. He hates the priest for encouraging him to tell the police what he has done. At the same time a girl called Kim is running away from her parents. She’s tired of being yelled at by her parents. She hopes by running away her parents will be more understanding and her friends in school will get sympathy. Suddenly when she’s hitchhiking Payton drives by and stops. She walks towards the car…. Essay Payton is a grown-up man with anger. Doesn’t seem to be aware of what consequences his reactions could cause. His I driving while intoxicated (DWI). His heart is filled with hate. He has done something terrible which he won’t tell the police. He thinks the priest is a pain in the neck. Maybe he feels remorse. One thing is for sure; we don’t know what he’s capable of. There are some excellent metaphors in the text. The Author has thought a lot about using symbolism. For example, Payton who has got a cobra tattoo and Kim who eats an apple. That’s a metaphor for Adam and Eva. The tattoo is the snake and the apple is of course from the tree in paradise. The short story is written in present and it takes place on the interstate. Both Payton and Kim are on the interstate...

...inconceivable barriers and left this world we call our home if only for a short period of time. Even though the Gemini Program has been concluded for many decades, its impact on navigation through outer space, NASA, and human history will forever be remembered. The Gemini Program’s main intension was to innovate and improve the safety of space travel. The improvements and accomplishments reached because of Project Gemini were necessary to link the success of the Apollo Space Program started by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 and the Mercury Project. More objectives set out by the Gemini Program included: increasing the length of time an unmanned shuttle can stay in flight, not only successfully but safely maneuvering a spacecraft to reach the rendezvous sight, and conducting experiments while in orbit to guarantee the safety of future launches and flights. When Canadian aerodynamicist, Jim Chamberlin designed the Gemini Program he was certainly ambitious in planning out his intensions regarding the future of space travel. The Gemini Program didn’t reach success or accomplish all of its goals in one mission; its achievements were realized through hard work and a multitudinous of missions into the cosmos. The groundbreaking first Gemini mission took place on April 8, 1964. This mission dealt with the launching of an unmanned spacecraft into Earth’s orbit. The orbital returned four days later on April 12, 1964 and the first Gemini mission was a...

...Staying Just in Time for the Holidays North Pole Workshops is faced with a multitude of demand planning, production and logistics problems. With just five weeks left until their annual delivery due date, they are under pressure to resolve short-term issues in demand fluctuations and capacity constraints, but Santa and his team are also concerned about the long-term feasibility of delivering cheer to a growing population of believers. North Pole Workshops has room to improve in all areas of the SCOR model; that is, the plan, source, make and deliver functions need to be addressed in order to improve the overall performance of the supply chain. The short-term production issues for this holiday season involve the increasing demand for the Timmy CD and the possibility of a drastic decrease in demand for the Meowrrr. However, Santa’s elves are also aware of increasing demand from China and Eastern Europe, and since those markets are assumed to be unaffected by the negative commentary on the Meowrrr, the excess product can be used as safety stock for those growing regions. Because they already have more Meowrrrs on hand than predicted demand, the production capacity of Meowrrrs can be completely turned over to the other products based on the next trend. This may be the number 2 and number 3 items for that age group (girls 8-15), but they should also do some quick analysis of TV ads in North America to determine any up-and-coming trends in December for that...

The new girl is laughing and the narrator is the first one to see her. The narrator smiles at the girl and the girl smiles back. When Allison sees the black girl, she says: “Get out of here, nigger”. The narrator is quite positive in his attitude, and Allison is quite negative. When the narrator sees the way Allison is reacting against the black girl, he is changing his attitude too and says: “Niggers are stupid”. The narrator is happy when he first sees the new girl in Prospect Street, because he then can get a new friend. There are not so many children in the neighbourhood to hang out with. The narrator smiles at the new girl, because children do not naturally have anything against other human beings. Children do not have prejudice against other children. The negative way Allison...
