...Together We Stand James Leach University of Phoenix HUM111 October 21, 2012 Together We Stand We the people of the west community think something went wrong with the building process of the development of the community. We have noticed a number of outbreaks of residents getting ill. The illness is not spread past the housing community. We are concerned for the residents health and well being. We would like assistance in this matter so we can resolve the problems before they get any worse. Residents all received medical attention from their doctors. The doctors all rules out anything cause by viruses that were happening around the community. The evaluations from all residents were all the same no common illnesses around the community matched the one of our community. The doctor did tell us the cause of the illnesses could be caused by a gas leak from a long term espouser to a gas leak. The residents of the community still wanted to ask is there any other way something else could be causing this? Could it be a faulty part the gas company used? The community then had a different plumber that installed gas products to check each of the houses and see if there was any faulty parts. Then they checked the system for leaks. The findings determined there was leaks throughout the community in several locations. The gas company who installed the gas products during construction seemed to be at fault for this. The gas company could have not been installing the correct material...

...Together We Stand Outline HUM/111 July 1, 2012 Together We Stand Outline I. Introduction To whom it may concern, I am writing this to inform all residents living in or around Bayside that we have had many of our residents become ill with similar extensive symptoms. We have been doing thorough research to get down to the bottom of the problem, and have narrowed the illness down to a possible improper chemical disposal at a nearby company. We are doing everything in our legal power to get this unfortunate matter taken care of. II. Diagnosis The first thing I would do would be to contact those residents whom I know have been contracted with the illness, and ask them questions related to, where were they at the on-set of the illness? How long have they had said symptoms? Did anyone who may have been with them get sick as well? Were they exposed to anything unusual that may have gotten them sick? I would ask many questions that could help me get to the cause of the problem. a. Symptoms Here I would keep a book and log every symptom from every person I interviewed. This would allow me to find a possible pattern in related symptoms. I would also document ages and genders of residents who got the illness, so to see if there is a difference in children versus adult symptoms. b. Medications/Vaccines After evaluating ill residents’ symptoms, I would then ask them questions about what they have done to fight the illness. What medications have they tried?...

...of those sources. After finding out the information that I did, I then had to dig a little deeper. I had to think about how the companies will try to hide any information that could have caused any damage. I had to think about what the records would be called and how they would conceal it. I found out that the gas company was the cause for why the community was starting to get sick. Although the gas company as at fault we may not want to stop using their services, but merely let them know that the practices of their company is hurting our community. I think if we get together and ask the right questions we will be able to figure out a solution for this problem. I’m pretty sure that the gas company doesn’t want to cause anyone any harm, so confronting them and letting them aware of the dangers they are causing should not be an issue. We need to take the cautious approach when trying to decide what action to take. We don’t want to cause any more illness but we also want to make sure that we don’t cause any unnecessary dangers with the solution. We need to figure out what medical procedures need to be done and the correct action to take when dealing with the gas. By doing this it can help make sure that this...

...To whom it may concern, I have after extensive research found that there is a problem in our little community that poses a serious problem for the health and safety of everybody living here. All around me, people ranging from children up to the elderly have been getting sick and everyone has been displaying the same symptoms. Therefore, I started to find out what might be causing this issue. The first thing I did was a survey in the neighborhood of who had symptoms and what the symptoms were. Additionally, I asked them when their symptoms started and what they were doing before the symptoms started. The survey allowed me to see how everyone’s illness connected as everyone displayed the same symptoms and it allowed me to narrow down the possible causes for the illnesses based on what people were doing before getting sick. The next thing I did was take my findings to an expert to see what could cause these symptoms. The expert was able to rule out infection, bacteria, viruses, and point to pollution as the cause for the illnesses. The next thing I did was get a research expert to test many variables of what might have been polluted such as the water, soil, or the plant life. The expert was able to determine that the soil, water, and plant life had all been polluted by gas. I did additional research to find out where the gas was coming from in order to pollute our community. By researching community blue prints and development plans I found out that there are gas lines running...

HENRY’S BOAT’S BRIDGE, DAY NARRATOR #2 This is Henry. He’s done well for himself - first as a professional engineer and now as a semiretired lobbyist for a select group of transportation companies. He lost his wife, the mother of his two daughters, to a heart attack when she was just fifty-five. 3 INT. STATE DOT, DAY NARRATOR #2 This is his elder daughter Laura. She’s close to her dad. She’s an engineer, with her professional engineer’s license, for the state department of transportation. The gossip at the DOT is that her quick rise has had more to do with her father’s connections than her skills. 4 INT. TEST GARAGE, DAY NARRATOR #2 This is Julie. She is eleven years younger than her sister. Henry tends to coddle her. Following the family into engineering by recently completing her degree, Julie has accepted a year-long contract with OUTOCAR. She’s going to be living with her sister while working at her first job. 5 EXT. HENRY’S BOAT, DAY NARRATOR #2 This, then, is the story of Henry and his daughters and the complications that arise as they all work - at different levels, on different tasks, and for different people - on the same project. 6 EXT.

...Chris Anderson asked me if I could put the last 25 years of anti-poverty campaigning into 10 minutes for TED. That's an Englishman asking an Irishman to be succinct. (Laughter) I said, "Chris, that would take a miracle." He said, "Bono, wouldn't that be a good use of your messianic complex?" So, yeah. Then I thought, let's go even further than 25 years. Let's go back before Christ, three millennia, to a time when, at least in my head, the journey for justice, the march against inequality and poverty really began. Three thousand years ago, civilization just getting started on the banks of the Nile, some slaves, Jewish shepherds in this instance,smelling of sheep shit, I guess, proclaimed to the Pharaoh, sitting high on his throne, "We, your majesty-ness, are equal to you." And the Pharaoh replies, "Oh, no. You, your miserableness, have got to be kidding." And they say, "No, no, that's what it says here in our holy book." Cut to our century, same country, same pyramids, another people spreading the same ideaof equality with a different book. This time it's called the Facebook. Crowds are gathered in Tahrir Square. They turn a social network from virtual to actual, and kind of rebooted the 21st century. Not to undersell how messy and ugly the aftermath of the Arab Spring has been, neither to oversell the role of technology, but these things have given a sense of what's possible when the age-old model of power, the pyramid, gets turned upside down, putting the people on top...

...organization to it. What was faced in the last days... by last days I mean the last days of civilization not life; itself. What was faced was hell. Everyone went ape shit insane. Everyone was killing and raping each other into oblivion, because we were under attack by creatures that was so beyond our understanding! Geez, there were many names given to these undead. Some called them demons, others called them lost souls. With all these names, I found only one that was truly worthy; Zombies. It was a simple word. At the same time it was the most complicated word to enter any human language. I mean just think about it... You say that word to anyone before the outbreak and what would they think of? They would, think of those horror movies or comic books where, for no reason what so ever, zombies appear all around the globe in an instance. That's not how it happened for us. There were signs for over two months. It's just that no one took the time to put the pieces together. I kind of did. I knew there was something more than what we were told about the riots and outbreaks, but I never even thought of the possibility that zombies were the cause of all our troubles. We were all caught off guard. You know, I never did believe that humanity deserved this. We have done... a great deal of horrible things to our own specie, our brothers and sisters....

Diana’s homeschooling academy has not only given me a sense of responsibility and independence in a way, but it’s also given me hope. A hope that one day I’ll be able to achieve great things, things that I would have never been able to discover in any other environment. This school has also given me the opportunity to start finding myself, the true me, not the me that teachers, students, parents (no offence mom and dad) have wanted me to be. This classroom.

...their craft. The vast majority of us are thinkers; we are curious problem solvers who believe that our ability to benefit our agencies is limited only by the latitude we are given. It is understandable then that we should seek out more opportunities to apply our skills and make more positive impacts within our jurisdictions. It is this general attitude that led us to get involved in investigating cold cases. How We Got Started Mark had, for several years, been consulting with our Coroner’s Division as a forensic anthropologist. During this time he came to learn that there were numerous coroners’ cases in which the identity of the decedent was unknown. These cases were kept in three-ring binders on a shelf in the Sergeant’s office. Over the years, in the course of this forensic work, we would discuss these cases and the progress that was being made on them. The conversation usually ran along the lines of us asking “any luck with that 1980 homicide victim?” and the sergeant answering “well, we’ve gotten so many new cases that I haven’t been able to even look at it yet.” This went on for a few years and through two different sergeants. One day we, as a crime analysis unit, were brainstorming about how we could broaden our “client base”, as it were. We had been successful in integrating ourselves into our Investigations Bureau and had been involved in numerous major cases. And, of course, we had always been active in producing tactical ...

So they told me that the patron has to pay the 10 dollars even though that they returned the book, they did not use to do that we used to waive for the collection but now they have to pay for it. So they have to pay the 10 dollars for the overdue fines because she had it already over the amount of time that sent it to collection. 10 dollars for over dues plus the 10 dollars for the collection agency. Any time we waive the fine from the collection agency its when the patron come and complain and claim that...

...Responding, converting, and measuring your marketing Now also, useful is going to respond. And what I mean by this is, if someone's out there talking about you or asking that question, even if it's not directed at you, you want to make sure that when you come back. And you see that message, you respond to it. For example, me and my kids were sitting at CTech airport one night. it was about midnight and we were waiting for our bags and waiting and waiting and I finally tweeted to Alaska Air because I know that they always respond to stuff online. I figured I'd hear in the morning.And I said I know you have a deal where if our bag takes longer than 20 minutes we get something cool what do we get because we've been here for way longer? Within two minutes, at midnight, someone from Alaska Air responded, and apologized, and explained what it was. And explained how I can go get it. Now as it turned out, this delay was not their fault, but you better believe that they made me into a real fan. Alaska Air really became, not only significant to me. But also just someone that I will go out and deliberately spread the word. So I became on of their group of the weird. And that's probably why when you go look on Facebook, Alaska Airlines whose you know a relatively small airline compared to some of the giants like United has 218,000 fans when most other airlines, the most popular pages they have. Are the ones with people complaining about them, so just keep that in mind.You can search actively...
