Conviction of the defendant

The defendant can be convicted if found in possession of the drug paraphernalia. This is because the possession of the “crack pipe” is itself a violation of the act on Drug Paraphernalia Control Act (Gardner, & Anderson, 2012). Moreover, possession is regarded as an actus reus, which is criminal act based on omission when the law that demands an action of an individual is violated. As such, the defendant was in possession of the item, which is used in inhaling substances, which are controlled to human body. Further, the defendant was aware that the item in possession was the cracking ...

Considered today one of the greatest Surrealist artists, René Magritte is also the most well known Belgian painter of the 20th century (Arnason and Prather, 320). He was born in 1898 and during his lifetime he did not enjoy the fame of other surrealists like Dali, as he chose to live most of his life as a quiet middle class man (Powers). He worked in the advertisement industry and apart from a brief period of three years (1927-1930) where he lived and worked in Paris with the French Surrealists, he had his home in his native Belgium (Arnason and Prather, 320). ...

Introduction: All most all metals are unstable when exposed to air. This is because of the tendency of the metal to be converted into its oxidized form on reaction with air. When compared to zinc, iron has a greater tendency to form oxidized form and thus has greater susceptibility to corrosion. The ability of metals to react with air varies and this determines their relative stability. As zinc is much stable when compared to iron, it is used to galvanizing iron pipe, thus preventing contact of iron with air and water that contains dissolved air. Brass is an alloy ...

According to EPA (2016), environmental management involves the development of systems aimed at reducing environmental impacts of various activities. In the Brundtland commission report (WCED), sustainable development has been described as development aimed at meeting the current needs of the present generation. However, as the current generation focuses on meeting their own needs, their activities should not compromise the capability of future generations to also meet their own needs. Available evidence suggests that the future generation would have challenges meeting their own needs if the current generation fails to adopt sustainable practices. The sustainable development incorporates the triple line: ...

Quite often, people who smoke tobacco are perceived to be at a higher risk of lung cancer and other conditions associated with the smoking of tobacco than the people who though do not smoke, live with smokers. However, this perception is not necessarily accurate. Individuals who are exposed to the smoke from a burning tobacco have equal or higher chances of developing conditions associated with tobacco-smoking than their counterparts who are active tobacco smokers. The smoke from a burning tobacco can be inhaled by a non-tobacco smoker involuntarily. This kind of smoke is referred to as a secondhand smoke ( ...

Creation Myths: A Comparison

Creation myths are common to nearly every religion in the world. They tell the story of how the Earth, or creatures of the Earth, including man, was created. They are considered myths because they are based on beliefs rather than verifiable proof. This is a brief comparison of two creation myths from different parts of the world, the American Indian (Arapaho), and African (Yoruba).
The Arapaho Creation Myth is an earth diver myth that includes some ex nihilo creation. In this myth, the Earth is deluged with water and a man has been walking around for days trying to ...

Is large-scale geothermal energy sustainable?

Geothermal energy is a renewable energy resource as natural processes such as radioactive decay and chemical reactions occurring within the earth constantly replenish it. However, it can be sustainable only if the rate of usage matches with the rate of replenishment. Presently, geothermal energy is used for large-scale power generation and small-scale applications include home heating pumps. Geothermal power plants that use steam and hot water available directly from the ground well to run turbines are called dry steam and flash steam power plants respectively. Alternatively, if the hot water from ground is used to heat a heat exchange fluid that ...

Watson appreciates the test from a chemical point of view, but fails to see any practical utilization of it. His doubts are quickly shattered by Holmes’s explanation of the test’s significance in a crime investigation as he points out that: “had this test been invented, there are hundreds of men now walking the earth who would long ago have paid the penalty of their crimes” (Doyle, ASIS 16). Given the fact that branches of Forensics medicine such as blood stain pattern analysis or forensics toxicology arose in the second half of the nineteenth century (“forensic medicine”), Holmes is a fictional ...

Native American culture has often been a subject of fascination among Western and European-American audiences, given its wildly different perspectives on religion, judgment, knowledge and wisdom. The differences between Western and Native American culture are substantial and numerous; understanding these variations in thinking can help us to influence our understanding of our notions of knowledge and judgment. Two works in particular that shed light on this different perspective are Carlos Castaneda’s Teachings of Don Juan and John Niehardt’s Black Elk Speaks. In both works, the Native American perspective is solidified; Castaneda’s work sees him working as an ...

Windows objects and the file system:

Windows objects are objects that can be identified, accessed and classified by a unique name.
A file system is a data store type that is normally used to store, update and retrieve a given set of files. Computers use specific types of file systems to organize and store data on various media, such as hard drive, CDs, DVDs and flash drives. An example is NTFS used by windows 7. A file system can therefore be viewed as an index to the physical location of every bit of information on a media.

Communication is a major requirement in any emergency. Lack of, or lax communication procedures may prove to add more salt to injury in regards to the emergency at hand. This is proving in the Columbine school shootings where 12 people lost their lives.
Open communication posed a problem where the police was involved. They held interview with TIME magazine, which came out later as a communication glitch after the unexpected appearance of the article just days before the Christmas holiday showing them holding the actual murder weapons in their gloved hands. This is painful to the victims’ relatives.

Critical Thinking

Chapter 5
Learning is the processes of relatively permanent changes in behavior achieved after repetition or experience. Classical conditioning on the other hand is widely defined as the behavioral modification that a subject develops after previously repeated neutral stimulus that evokes a certain desired response. A Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov discovered classical conditioning in the early 20th century accidentally (Ciccarelli 2008). Certain elements are as the distinct characteristics of classical conditioning. The first is Neutral Stimulus (NS), which is a stimulus that does not induce a response. Unconditional Stimulus (US) is another stimulus that is innately capable of eliciting a response. Conditioned Stimulus ( ...
