...Final Project: Debate Paper XBCOM/275 October 6, 2013 Should a Death Row Inmate be Granted a Last Meal One of the most controversial debates today is regarding the ability for death row inmates to order a last meal before execution. What sparked the debate most recently is when a man named Lawrence Russell Brewer, a death row inmate housed in a Texas prison, ordered a meat lovers pizza, two chicken fried steaks with gravy and fried onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and jalapeños, a large bowl of fried okra and a side of ketchup, three fajitas, one pound of barbequed meat with a half of loaf of white bread, one triple patty cheeseburger, a pan of peanut butter fudge topped with crushed peanuts, three root beer drinks and one full pint of Blue Bell ice cream (Fernandez, Manny). After Lawrence Brewer ordered this huge feast, he did not even eat one bite. This extravagant meal was costly in many ways to taxpayers. Lawrence Brewer took his last opportunity to show the government, the victims, the family of the victims, and all people just how little he cared. Many people were disgusted by his arrogance and disdain, and others thought nothing, as though it were his right to order whatever his heart desired in the last hours before his death. The current debate runs deep. Normally a last meal requests are made approximately two weeks prior the scheduled execution. Why in the world would you treat a vicious murderer like a special celebrity two hours before they...

...Information Services Accurate and consistent referencing is essential in all academic work. Whenever you refer to either the work or ideas of someone or are influenced by another's work, you must acknowledge this. Similarly if you use a direct quotation from someone's work this should be referred to accurately. There are a number of systems of referencing. This guide offers detailed guidance based on a range of British and international standards for producing references and bibliographies according to the Harvard method. You may be asked to use another system, such as a numeric system or to use a different version of the Harvard method. If this is the case, please refer to your course handbook or tutors for guidance. This guide does not cover the use of footnotes as these are not used in the Harvard method. You can search this document or use the contents list below Contents: What is referencing?

...contacts to predict how the field should finish on Sunday. When: Sunday, June 7, 2009; 2:16 p.m./et Weather: Mostly cloudy with a high around 71; wind out of the NW at 4 mph. Chance of precipitation 20%. The Track: Pocono Raceway Pocono Raceway is a 2.5 mile tri-oval. It has 14 degree banking in turn one, eight degree banking in turn two, and six degree banking in turn three. Key to Race: THE POCONO TOUGH TRIANGLE Pocono has three turns and three long straight-aways. This unique configuration forces engines to run at high RPM levels three times on each lap. The high RPM levels and the length of the race place a premium on a strong and even more reliable engine than at most tracks. Kasey Kahne and Carl Edwards won the 2008 races, Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch took the checker flags during the 2007 season, and Denny Hamlin won both poles and races at Pocono in 2006. All five of these drivers are great picks. Qualifying Procedures: 46 cars will attempt to qualify for 43 spots. Cars not in the top 35 in the 2009 point standings will have to qualify based on speed. Starting positions 1-43 will be determined by qualifying runs on Friday, June 5 at 3:40 pm/et. Fantasy Cheat Sheet: Top 5 No. 11 Denny Hamlin: Hamlin has been awesome at Pocono in his career. In six starts he has two wins and has finished worse than sixth just one time. No. 99 Carl Edwards: Edwards was excellent at Pocono in 2008 and should be in the mix to win on Sunday....

...2015: Week Two DFS Welcome back! I assume if you are reading this you are either a) shocked that there is actually a second article this week b) pleasantly surprised at how my picks last week performed (I know I am) or c) both a and b. While sadly I didn’t take down the big prize in last week’s Milly Maker Tournament on Draft Kings I hope maybe one of you out there did. If no one won I hope you at least placed and made some money anyways because in the end as long as your turning a profit that’s all that matters. Fear not, because DK has announced that they will be doing a Milly Maker every single week this season! That means you and I have a crack at that big prize once a week for the next 16 so we better make those chances count. Once again I would like to put clearly so that no one could possibly notice. EVERYTHING FROM HERE ON OUT IS IN REFERENCE TO DRAFT KINGS AND NOT ANY OTHER DAILY FANTASY SITE. While these plays might still be good on other sites I have no idea what the pricing or scoring structures are so they very well might not be. And once more just in case you are either new to this article or forgot from last week. I’m in no way giving you the winning LU for this weekend’s tournaments because if I knew it I sure as hell wouldn’t be sharing it with the rest of the internet. I also do not need to tell you that guys like Antonio Brown and Matt Forte are always in play regardless of their matchup. If these are things you wouldn’t consider “no brainers” then I’m very...

Eliezer and his family anticipate their departure from the ghettos into the lethal uncertainty of this war against them. Eliezer’s mother instructs her children to “go to bed early [and] conserve [their] strength… [as] it was to be the last night spent in [their] house” (Wiesel 18).
