...organism, it is still unclear to me when and why this animal changed its environment to include water. It is believed by many in the scientific world that the Sea Lion was a land dweller and became a water creature due to not have enough food in its land environment. “It's long been assumed that marine mammals in the pinniped group – seals, sea lions and walrus – evolved from a land-based common ancestor, but until now, no definitive fossil evidence had materialized” (Harmon, 2009). The animal would have had four legs that would have become webbed after its transfer to water. Its adaptation would have allowed it to survive under water for longer periods as well. The creature would have more than likely looked like the picture below if this is an accurate depiction of its ancestry. [pic] Its evolution would have included, being able to walk on land with paws that grip the earth, breathe air always to changing itself allowing it to breathe underwater and swim like a fish. Its paws slowly formed to fin like water movers however it still is able to move about on land. The creature shown above is believed to swim as shown looking for fish and other smaller life forms. It also was believed to hunt on land for smaller animals as well. It is believed that when the food ran out on land the animal slowly move its environment to the water. The above mentioned creature’s fossilized remains were found recently and...

...Anonymous Donor Saves Shelters English 112 Professor Tara Ciccarone DeVry University Two women’s shelter that have basically been on life support for nearly two decades are now fighting to keep their doors open as more and more debt piles up. On Wednesday, October 16th, 2013, Clara Kirk, a 72-year old woman, said she was having difficulties paying for two different gas and water bills at her shelters that she runs to provide for women and children in need. One of the bills was roughly $21,000 and another bill was around $11,000 (Hutson, 2013). Due to the fact that she was unable to take care of those bills, the gas was shut off on Wednesday, October 16, 2013. This left all of the helpless people without heat or hot water which forced them to go to nearby cafeterias so they could get cleaned up. Clara’s Place, which houses 19 women and children, is one of the two shelters that have run out of gas. The other shelter – Clara’s House – also has approximately 40 women and is also in devastating financial misfortune. Both of these shelters have struggled financially in recent years, facing punishments from the town for building code violations and consequences from the IRS for being overdue on their payroll taxes (Hutson, 2013). With temperature going below 30 degrees, residents of both of these shelters finally had something be happy for. An anonymous donor has contributed a rather large sum of money in order to keep the gas successfully running at the two Chicago...

Consequently, email forensics has become pivotal to ensuring that such criminals are apprehended and subjected to due process of the law just like other criminals do. A key area in email forensics that has elicited lots of attention is understanding the unique email characteristics and as such using the same to cluster them for easy identification. This paper offers valid proof that email characteristics can be employed in analysis of the emails and hence establishes their origin.

The parts are the header and the body. Email Headers These are meta-data lines hooked to each and every email which contain plenty of vital information used by a forensic expert may use in analysis. Nonetheless, email headers may be forged quite easily, and as such they need not be left as the sole information source. In essence, there exists no sole way which can be used to bring out relevant understanding of an email header. Various examiners favor a bottom up reading approach, while some often...

...In the article “Misconceptions about Abortion” the anonymous author writes, “There is no scientific consensus as to when human life begins. Human life is a continuum---sperm and eggs are also alive, and represent potential human beings, but virtually all sperm and eggs are wasted.”(1). An abortion can’t be considered “killing babies” when there is no true consensus when a human life actually begins like the article states. A person that argues that abortion is murder because you’re taking away potential life must always believe that every time a sperm or egg is wasted, murder has been committed. Also, In the article “Misconceptions about Abortion” the anonymous author also writes, “Many people believe that bringing an unwanted child into the world is a crime, and that forcing a woman to have a child against her will is morally wrong.”(1). The anonymous writer of this article explains how forcing a woman to have a child is morally wrong. Women shouldn’t be forced to have a child when they have other options that could be available to them. Having an unwanted child to be born to an ill-prepared mother could only lead to more conflicts in not only the mother’s life, but also the...

...values of the variables of interest by, e.g., moving averages. Seasonal Model Seasonality is a pattern that repeats for each period. For example annual seasonal pattern has a cycle that is 12 periods long, if the periods are months, or 4 periods long if the periods are quarters. The seasonal index is required to be found for each month, or other periods, such as quarter, week depending on the data availability (Hossein, 1994-2006). Seasonal Index: Seasonal index represents the extent of seasonal influence for a particular segment of the year. The calculation involves a comparison of the expected values of that period to the grand mean. A seasonal index is how much the average for that particular period tends to be above (or below) the grand average. Therefore, to get an accurate estimate for the seasonal index, compute the average of the first period of the cycle, and the second period and divide each by the overall average (Hossein, 1994-2006). The formula for computing seasonal factors is: Si = Di/D, Where: Si = the seasonal index for ith period, Di = the average values of ith period, D = grand average, i = the ith seasonal period of the cycle. A seasonal index of one for a particular month indicates that the expected...

Figure [ 1 ]-1 James Flagg in 1915 James Montgomery Flagg’s public schools were Dr. Chapin’s School from 1889 to 1891 and then moved to Horace Mann School from 1891 till 1893. Then James went to study at the Art Students League from 1894 till 1898 under John H. Tqachtamn and J. Carroll Beckwith. Than in 1898 he attended Hubert Herkomer’s Art School in Bushey, Hertfordshire, England. James Montgomery Flagg intended to be a portraitist, and continued to paint and draw portraits throughout his career. James says that, “his real education came from the material that passed over the desks of the editors of St. Nicholas, Judge and Life” [ {{52 Anonymous}} ]. At St. Nicholas, Judge and Life James was allowed to study the people working there. With the lessons that he learned from the magazines were more valuable than any of the schooling that he took to learn the things about artistry. James Montgomery Flagg also thinks that he was an artist that felt it in his blood rather than being taught artistry in school.

(1) In this particular case, our former employee who resigned is alleging religious discrimination under Constructive Discharge due to a work policy change requiring employees to rotate their shifts which includes working on what may be considered a religious day. As an employer, the Company needs to “reasonably accommodate an employee’s religious beliefs” (2) and make reasonable accommodations to the work environment.

...averages of 55%-60%, which correlates with other local area businesses, up to its current peak of 64%. Barbara believes that the increased turnover rate among BIMS employees is due to an overall decrease in morale. In an attempt to identify the contributing factors of this problem and offer insight to a possible solution, an anonymous non-mandatory survey was administered to each of its 449 employees. Out of the 449 employees, only 78 completed the survey. In this report, several key factors will be discussed as to why employee morale is low and turnover rates high. Recommendations for a solution to the problems and ways to increase employee participation with surveys moving forward will be addressed. The data collected from the surveys issued to employees indicate that the increase in turnover rates is directly related to low morale among the staff. Some of the more concerning answers were from questions six and nine, which revealed negative responses from employees who felt they were underpaid and voiced that a lack of communication within the organization exists. Other questions of concern were one, four, five, and eleven through fourteen. In the graph below: question one, four, and five reveal a high percentage of employees with diminished job satisfaction, frequent sick calls and expressed concern about the lack of training.
