...California’s Sanctuary Bill Sanctuary cities are not a new thing. Sanctuary cities have been in place for many years. Los Angeles was one of the first sanctuary cities in the late 1970s.(Sanctuary Cities:). The Sanctuary cities have been made more aware of now that we have a sitting president that has made known he is admittedly against undocumented immigrants in his campaign speeches by mentioning, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best . . . They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people”(Green). Also by bringing up that the United States needs better border security, the President used suggestions to build a wall along the southern borders in his campaign and has used rhetoric instead of evidence (Green). The president is so against the sanctuary cities and state, that he has even gone as far as having the Justice Department sue the state of California over it becoming a sanctuary state, because it is not following federal laws. While a sanctuary state is believed to be a safe haven for all undocumented immigrants, those that have commit serious and violent crimes are subject...

...York: Penguin Group Inc. The author details what became of the fifty-one pit bulls that were rescued from Michael Vick’s house at 1915 Moonlight Road due to dog fighting. This case changed how dogs seized in dogfighting rings were evaluated. Before this case the dogs were never given the chance for rehabilitation, they was just euthanized. Twenty-two of the most aggressive dogs was sent to The Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Only six remain in the sanctuary of the twenty-two. They have since been adopted. Of the fifty-one dogs a few could not be saved and were euthanized. All the rest of the dogs were either adopted, rescue dogs, therapy dogs, or remain at a sanctuary. This book is a secondary source as the writer retells the events that happened. I think this source is reliable because it explains the aspects of the case and what happened to the dogs. I think that it will be helpful to my final project because it details the steps needed to prove that fighting dogs can be saved, and are not vicious by nature. Holland, J. (2013). In defense of the pit bull. Retrieved from http://www.salon.com/2013/02/05/in_defense_of_the_pitbull_partner/ The article discusses how the media has turned pit bulls into monsters instead of the loving dogs they are known to be. If pit bull is mentioned in a dog biting case the media will report on more than any other breed of dog. The breed specific legislation focus more on the breed rather than the issue which is serious dog bites. There is...

...Public Policy The case study concerning Ocean Policy Change has been an important issue for many years. There have been policy changes over the years on ocean dumping. Starting in the early 1970’s there was much controversy on environmental protection and public policy. The concerns were that there needed to be policies on ocean dumping and what measurements the government was going to take to control this practice. President Nixon stated that public policy should be “to ban unregulated ocean dumping of all material and to place strict limits on ocean disposal of any materials harmful to the environment” (Stewart et al, 2008). Hence, the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (MPRSA) was passed. This policy had the strictest principles regarding ocean dumping. There was a permit system put into place which was monitored by the EPA and Army Corp of Engineers. In 1973 it was determined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to terminate all dumping even it was by permit. In the early 1980’s the city of New York applied for a permit to continue dumping the sludge from the sewer plants. The city brought a federal law suit asking for continued dumping of sewer sludge. The court in turn ruled that the EPA loosen their constraints on the dumping of sewer sludge. Due to the change of Presidents in 1981, there was even more leniency about the EPA guidelines or permits. There was more flexibility in the issuance of permits. Because of the knowledge and research...

...In a learning organization, everyone in the organization engages in continuous learning from the individual to the teams (Antonoaie & Antonoaie, 2014). The values and decision making is informed by all information that can be shared (Antonoaie & Antonoaie, 2014). This type of organization will function optimally in an organic design. Having an organic design typically means that the organization adapts to a changing environment, an adaptive culture, and has an innovation strategy (Daft, 2013). In a learning organization with everyone receiving information from all areas, empowered roles are better suited than tasks that are narrowly defined to a person (Daft, 2013). The strategic emphasis is on innovation instead of efficiency as is the case in an efficient performance organization. The efficient performance organization is focused on labor productivity and ways to improve efficiency (Daft, 2013). This type of organization focuses on a centralized structure that is hierarchical. Knowledge and control of activities are centralized to make sure all process are optimized for efficiency (Daft, 2013). In this organization tasks are assigned to specific people for further follow up and execution. Communication is this organization is from the top management to the bottom and vice versa. Information is controlled by the top and flows all...

...INTRODUCTION “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” Hebrews 2:11-12 A church is a place where we go every Sunday to praise and listen to the word of God. It is a home for every Christian family to worship, to serve and to fellowship. People come altogether and spend time at God’s Holy place. We come to make Him exalted in every shout of praises we are offering. God is delighted by His son’s adoration to Him, and we, His people want to be with Him always. In the old testament of the Bible, the Israelites have the Ark of Covenant. The Ark of Covenant is a place where they offer sacrifices for thanksgiving, for forgiveness and for daily supplication. It was built in the time Moses, when Israelites had an escape from Egypt. The Ark of Covenant was made and built with God’s supervision. God had explained clearly everything about the details in building the Ark of Covenant. He had instructed Moses and Aaron from the materials to be used up to the people who will build it. Designing was made by God, Himself. All the details were explained clearly in the book of Exodus, on its latter part. As time passed by, the Ark of Covenant was evolved into a larger and concrete temples built by the famous kings of Israel like the wisest King of Israel, King Solomon.

...OLMEC Student’s Name: Instructor’s Name: Course Name & Code: Date of Submission: OLMEC The term Olmec refer to the culture of a group of Mexican inhabitants who lived in the hot coastal plain of the modern cities of Tabasco and Veracruz, between 1200 and 400 BC this area was also referred to as heartland due to the large numbers of this community and the their monuments. These inhabitants are one of the most fascinating communities to ever exist. They were the first society in Mexico and it is from this group that all other inhabitant of Mesoamerica followed. The community came to existence from around 1200 to about 400 BC and they inhabited in the forests, savannas, and rivers of the Gulf of Mexico. Very little is known of the Olmec’s community but what remains out clear is that the group followed a 365-day year, constructed pyramids using different types of designs , planted some crops such as avocado, corn and cacao, and had comparable religious practices as the Mayans who followed them practiced hunting and fishing (COE, M 77). The wide range of distribution of Olmec work of art and Olmecoid iconography during much of Mesoamerica is a sign that the group practiced long-distance trade. Foreign, impressive and high-value materials for instance greenstone and sea shell were transported in large numbers over very long distances. Whereas the Olmec were not the first community in Mesoamerica to practice the long-distance trading, the Olmec era...

Type the abstract of the document here. The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] 2012 Nishant Aishwarya Roll Number - 26 Introduction Wildlife includes all non-domesticated plants, animals and other organisms. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities. Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been a reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment. Literature has also made use of the traditional human separation from wildlife. Foods, Pets, Traditional Medicine:...

...Human Trafficking United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) defines human trafficking as “the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them”. UNODC notes that every country of the world is affected by human trafficking crimes. Therefore, the United States is not an exception. Smuggling of migrants is also often labelled as human trafficking although there are certain distinctions between them. At the same time, Chacon (2986) fairly points out: “the line between smuggling and trafficking is becoming increasingly blurry”. The United States is an attractive country for migrants from all over the world. Illegal migration is one of the major concerns of the US government. This illegal migration is a part of a broader problem which is human trafficking. This paper is an attempt to explore how human trafficking affects the US economy, and specifically how it affects Houston. Migrant smuggling refers to assistance to individuals to cross borders illegally. Usually such assistance is provided for financial gain. Individuals may illegal cross border for various purposes such as performing labour, including sex services (Chacon, 2981). Migrant smuggling is usually conducted under the coercive conditions (Chacon, 2981). The United States is majorly a destination or a transit territory for human trafficking ("Humantrafficking.org "). By different estimates, 4,500 to 17,500 people per year are trafficked to the country ("Humantrafficking...

I’ve seen Seinfeld.” “Not the bullshit tourist version!” I always knew I belonged in New York; I guess I just didn’t realize it when I was a kid. I was always saying things like, “Wow New York is so pretty I want to go there!”, “O my gosh can I go to New York puhLEASE.”, and “Wow how great would it be to live in New York?” New York always seemed like such a fabulous, far-off dreamland to me. I don’t remember how old I was when I first came to New York, but I remember I was so excited that the whole trip was a blur. On top of that, I was traveling through the city with my family in a car driven by my great aunt, so I didn’t get to fully experience New York. I feel like you need to be...
