...Classifcation of Typology For this project I will be looking at 3 different women who were listed as serial killers. The three different women I picked are: Marybeth Tinning, Gwendolyn Graham and Cathy Wood, and finally Karla Homolka. I picked these three cases because I hardly know anything about them and would like to do my own research on them, while in the purpose learning more about them. I strongly feel that all three cases represent different types of typology, and would present on different spicturms of criminal aspects. Threw out this paper I will be looking at their cases, not just listing what they did, but also threw chart mapping be able to decide with the base information on what time of crime it was. After doing so, I will...

...Violence in Video Games: Examining Violence and Competitiveness as Predictors of Verbal Aggressiveness Sean D. Badeer, Kathrine L. Lukes, Sarah A. Oltjenbruns, & Sergio D. Orozco Wayne State College Wayne, NE April 11, 2013 Abstract Violence in video games is the topic of much debate and controversy in the public arena. For this reason, it has been a heavily researched topic in areas of psychology and communication (Jeong, Biocca & Bohil, 2012). Much of the research on the topic examines the relationship between the violence in video games and aggression. However, despite the large community of research on the topic, researchers in communication have yet to examine the relationship between video game competitiveness and verbal aggression. Competiveness is a factor that must be considered if there is to be an accurate depiction of the impact of video games on aggressiveness (Adachi and Willoughby, 2011). The purpose of this study is to examine the impacts of competitiveness and violence in video games on verbal aggressiveness. Furthermore, this study examines the relationship between verbal aggressiveness and attitudes toward violence. In the results of the study, the correlation between competitiveness and verbal aggressiveness was found to be significant. The correlation between video game violence and verbal aggressiveness was not significant. Furthermore, no significant correlation was...

...Lauren Memrik October 9th 2015 We all find something eccentric or unconventional which we can identify with and enjoy more than others do. Since cosplay has been expanding wildly, the participants have developed a passionate hobby, and for some even a lifestyle. For many people cosplay is an art and a way of creative expression and a vehicle to proudly display their love for characters and mediums ranging from literature, television and films. Before the term cosplay emerged it was called “costuming” dating back to the 1930s in North America. During this time period people did not mimic the appearance of characters, however they dressed accordingly to the specific theme. An example of such would be masquerade...

...Smoking Definition Smoking is the inhalation of the smoke of burning tobacco encased in cigarettes, pipes, and cigars. Casual smoking is the act of smoking only occasionally, usually in a social situation or to relieve stress. A smoking habit is a physical addiction to tobacco products. Many health experts now regard habitual smoking as a psychological addiction, too, and one with serious health consequences. Smoking risks Smoking is recognized as the leading preventable cause of death, causing or contributing to the deaths of approximately 430,700 Americans each year. Anyone with a smoking habit has an increased chance of lung, cervical, and other types of cancer; respiratory diseases such as emphysema, asthma, and chronic bronchitis; and cardiovascular disease, such as heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, and atherosclerosis (narrowing and hardening of the arteries). The risk of stroke is especially high in women who take birth control pills. Smoking can damage fertility, making it harder to conceive, and it can interfere with the growth of the fetus during pregnancy. It accounts for an estimated 14% of premature births and 10% of infant deaths. There is some evidence that smoking may cause impotence in some men. Because smoking affects so many of the body's systems, smokers often have vitamin deficiencies and suffer oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that steal electrons from other molecules, turning the other molecules into free...

...marijuana. Peculiar, to say the least, all of these extremely influential people would be prosecuted and possibly arrested had they had been caught partaking in these illegal acts. If one were to go back to the time of George Washington’s presidency and take a glimpse at the first president’s garden they would be shocked to see that the leader of the American Revolutionary War Army grew marijuana. The growth of cannabis in today’s world carries quite a hazy perception. Most people would be shocked at the thought of someone; much less the president was growing marijuana. It is in this perception in which the problem stems, why be shocked? Why think less of person? Why even consider Marijuana to be this life-threatening, lazy causing, brain cell killer, schedule one drug? Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in America today. It is estimated that one hundred million people have admitted to smoking marijuana. However the winds of reform and legalization have begun to sweep this nation. Americans, now more than ever, are advocating the legalization of marijuana, as seen recently by two states legalizing the plant for recreational use. I, for one, am a strong advocate for the recreational use and legalization of marijuana in the United States. I have found that to understand why marijuana was illegal in the first place, one must go back and look at where the debate began. For the majority of human history marijuana was legal and perfectly fine to use. In fact, it is estimated...

...Nicholas Robinson Professor Beaman ENGLH 1301 30 October 2015 Legalize It Professional athletes have become a part of a realm of sports that’s forever changing. Professional sports have significantly become a huge role in many different cultures and have become a realm of its own. Professional players have adapted to succumb to the level of athleticism that continues to rise within every generation. They are adapting to a constantly changing sport where athletes are becoming bigger, stronger, and faster. The increased amount of competition and athleticism in professional sports has advocated a need for new ways for players to get ahead of the rest of the pack. Performance enhancing drugs sit high on the list that the athletes have to choose from as a method to gain the advantage, but these substances have been recently heavily fought against in the realm of professional sports. This resistance has done more harm than good in a sense in that drug testing fails at what it’s supposed to do. It has led to more players turning to black market labs to obtain their steroids. As drug testing is supposed to level the playing field for all athletes, it truly de-levels the playing field in that so many athletes are cheating the drug test than there are natural athletes. Athletes who are taking PED’s are going to these black market labs that are not controlled or supervised when they are creating these drugs and as a result could potentially harm the athlete’s health. The legalization...

...believe technology is going. A third focus is in regards to the unexpected mistakes that people have made. In conjunction with the past, how can these mistakes be avoided in the coming future and evolution of technology; both for equal and competitive reasons. In part with this, we can turn to the very basic view about what makes a good design. Many architectural topics once began with the idea that if you build something and develop it correctly, change is not something one should expect. If it’s developed right the first time then you don’t have to change it. In this successful strive, people have come to the underlying conclusion that this is a very unrealistic position to be. A very good place to stress the relevance here is by dating back to the start of an exciting architectural turn of events that have gotten us to where we now are: the birth of modern computing. Many will say that this “landmark” of progress has lead to an evolutional launch that we constantly live within. It’s safe to say that these embarking events once began somewhere amongst the early 1970s. Coming out of the 1960s, computer processors were often constructed out of small and medium-scale integrated circuits containing a number of transistors that ranged from ten to several hundred. Along comes 1971 and at this point in time scientist have already made successful progress in the creation of computers and machinery used for mathematical functions, photocopying documents, and even black...

...Sony Corporation and the Video Game Console Market: 1 A Competitive Analysis By Ryan Bogner, Peter Hung, Guan Wang, and Steven Wang This report evaluates Sony Corporation’s strategy in the console gaming market from the top-down perspective of the entire corporation. 1 Executive Summary Sony’s current strategy in the video game console market is simple: use the technologically superior Playstation 3 as a loss leader to introduce the Blu-ray optical drive2 into consumers’ homes and leverage that market penetration to drive content sales once Blu-ray is established as the de facto standard for optical storage. It is therefore in Sony’s interest to reach the tipping point for market adoption of Blu-ray as soon as possible. To increase the rate of Blu-ray adoption in the market, we recommend that Sony adopt a “good-better-best” strategy, whereby Sony produces discounted and premium versions of the current Playstation 3 for sale to consumers. This strategy will encourage price-sensitive customers to purchase Playstation 3 consoles without marginalizing power gamers. Nintendo and Microsoft will most likely respond to this strategy with differentiation rather than price competition. If Sony reinforces this strategy with coherent marketing and intellectual property strategies, it can increase Blu-ray adoption rates and make it more likely that the format will be adopted as a standard. The Market for Video Game Consoles is Growing, but Competition is Fierce The market for...

...movie theater pre-show trailers, and the actual casing and packaging of the product. A high quality 30 second commercial is estimated to cost $100,000 to $350,000 dollars. Movie trailer slides are estimated to start at $1500+ for a four week period. Casing and packaging redesign costs are unknown but estimated to be relatively small when spread over the number of units being produced. Total costs for the Nintendogs Pink DS promotion would be nearly $30 Million dollars over the span of four months. Strategy: By combining packaging and targeted advertisements in Television and pre-movie ads Nintendo will be able to attract young females age 5-17. This demographic has not traditionally participated in video gaming outside of cell phone games and digital “pets” however the interactive DS platform combined with female targeted software such as Nintendogs offers a winning strategy to tap into this...
