...Social Responsibility Task #1 Executive Summary Parents who choose to enroll their children in private school do so for a number of reasons. The over crowdedness of the public schools does not appeal to them, maybe their child isn’t getting the attention they need in order to meet academic goals, or simply the because a private school has a better location than other public alternative. The Reed Preparatory Academy can look beyond these reasons to help gain student enrollment, uphold our excellent academic reputation in the community, and gain access to better learning, by the considerations and recommendations listed in this report. A1. Environmental Considerations & Recommendations The are several laws that require school house building to follow numerous codes ensuring the safety of all the children and adults that utilize the building all year long. In 2014 Reed Prep will undergo an enormous remodel and 60,000 square foot addition. The original building was constructed in 1910. There are several mold areas in the cafeteria, asbestos in the ceilings, and lots of toxic exposures to the children from the old lead paint that was used in the original structure. While getting these issues addressed we have an opportunity to go above and beyond the minimum law requirements for school structures. Through out our country “LEED certified” buildings are popping up, our remodel and addition should follow suit. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design...

...Killer Heroin Drug consumption is one of the most discussed and analyzed topics in society, literature, and scientific works. Drug use and abuse has persistently puzzled researchers, scientists, and law makers. During the last twenty years scientists have continued performing experiments, researchers have continued to research drug abuse and use, and law makers have continued to create new laws in hopes of regulating drug use. Drug specialists and scientists have developed an assortment of methodologies for fighting ever-increasing drug consumption and law enforcement have made many attempts at gaining control of the drug trade. In order to narrow down the extent of drug use and abuse, focus will be placed on one particular drug – heroin. During the course of this essay we are going to investigate the history of heroin from its beginnings to present day. Next we will investigate the evolution of heroin. Lastly we will focus on what makes it so addicting and why so many people choose to use it. What is heroin? Why is the death rate from using this drug increasing every year? Heroin comes from opium. Opium is a milky white liquid that is extracted from immature poppy plants. Two opiates, codeine and morphine, are found in this milky white liquid and are used for pain medication today (MacKinnon, 2007). Heroin was synthesized from morphine in 1874 by an English chemist, but was not produced commercially until 1898 by Bayer Pharmaceutical Company...

Chennai: Aug 8, 2006. pg. 1 Abstract (Summary) Both the failure to cross-examine the representatives of the Party under Sections 8B and C, and the unexplained omission to vest the Authority with the power under Section 166A of the Cr.P.C. considerably dilutes the force of the Inquiry Authority's opinion that there was "not a shred of evidence" to link the Congress party to these transactions, that no wrong can be attributed to the Congress party, that there was "no evidence that the Congress party was involved in the contract and that it derived any benefit at all from the contracts," that "indeed, there is nothing to show that the Indian Congress Party had anything to do with the contracts" and that "the reference to the Indian Congress party with respect to Contract No M/10/57 is not justified at all." The impression left in an average reader's mind is that the Authority, by its repeated asseverations to the above effect, wanted to drive home the innocence of the Congress Party beyond all ambiguity or misunderstanding, although this seemingly contradicts its opinion that the sources, materials and documents collected by [Volcker] were "authentic and reliable". Another incongruity There is yet another incongruity as well: Of the four from India named by Volcker report as non-contractual beneficiaries (meaning that they had no obligation to supply food or humanitarian goods...

...Nora Roberts Istinite laži Prolog Nekako, s ponosom i uţasom istovremeno, uspela je da podigne bradu i potisne muĉninu. Ovo nije košmar. Nije mraĉna fantazija koja će nestati s dolaskom zore. Ipak, kao u snu, sve se odvijalo sliĉno usporenom filmu. Probijala se kroz gustu vodenu zavesu iza koje je videla lica ljudi oko sebe. Oĉi su im bile gladne; usta su im se otvarala i zatvarala kao da će je celu progutati, a glasovi su im se utišavali i oticali poput talasa koji udaraju o stenu. Srce joj je poĉelo snaţnije i upornije da lupa, kao ţestoki tango unutar njenog sleĊenog tela. Nastavi da se krećeš, nastavi da se krećeš, zapovedao je mozak njenim drhtavim nogama dok su je ĉvrste ruke gurale kroz gomilu ka stepenicama sudnice. Oĉi su joj zasuzile od jakog svetla, pa je potraţila naoĉare za sunce. Pomisliće da je plakala. Neće im dopustiti da iskoriste njene emocije. Tišina će biti njen štit. Spotakla se i u trenutku osetila paniku. Brzo je naredila sebi da ne sme da padne, jer desi li se to, reporteri i radoznala masa će skoĉiti na nju, reţeći i škljocajući foto-aparatima. Rastrgnuće je kao divlji pas zeca. Mora da se uspravi, da stoji iza svoje tišine još nekoliko metara. Toliko je nauĉila od Iv. Pokaži im da si pametna, devojko, ali nikad im ne pokazuj da se plašiš. Iv. Došlo joj je da vrišti. Da prekrije lice šakama i da vrišti sve dok ne izlije sav bes, strah i tugu iz sebe. VreĊala su je pitanja koja su novinari dovikivali. Mikrofoni su joj boli lice poput smrtonosnih...

Ispružila sam prste u potrazi za Priminom toplinom, ali dotakla sam samo grubu površinu dušeka. Mora da je sanjala nešto ružno i otišla kod majke. Naravno da jeste. Danas je dan žetve. Podigla sam se na lakat. U spavaćoj sobi ima dovoljno svetlosti da ih osmotrim. Moja mlađa sestra Prim sklupčala se u loptu, a majka se obmotala oko nje. Spavale su obraz uz obraz. Majka u snu deluje mlađe. I dalje deluje umorno, ali ne i izmoždeno. Primino lice je sveže poput rose, ljupko poput cveta* po kojem je dobila ime. Pored njenih kolena, najružniji mačor na svetu, sedi i čuva je. Nos mu je zgnječen, pola jednog uha nedostaje, a oči su mu boje trule bundeve. Prim ga je nazvala Ljutić, insistirajući na tome da njegovo mrljavo žuto krzno podseća na žarke boje tog cveta. Mene mrzi. U najmanju ruku mi ne veruje. Mada je od tada prošlo mnogo godina, mislim da se još seća kako sam pokušala da ga udavim u kofi kada ga je Prim donela kući. Bio je mršavo mače, stomaka natečenog od crva i krzna prepunog buva. Samo mi je to falilo. Još jedna usta koja treba nahraniti. Ali, Prim me preklinjala, čak je i plakala. Morala sam da joj dopustim da ga zadrži. Sve je ispalo dobro. Majka ga je očistila od gamadi,...
