Crime Marco Topete, 39, was convicted of First Degree Murder with Special Circumstances after a high speed pursuit lead to the death of Yolo County Sheriff’s Deputy Jose Antonio Diaz on 15 June 2008. Diaz was fatally struck in the chest by one of seventeen .223 caliber rounds fired from an AR-15 Assault Rifle fired by Marco Topete. The .223 Round pierced Diaz’ Kevlar vest and struck the Sherriff’s County vehicle which contained Topete’s daughter who was abandoned in Topete’s car when he fled on
should ban assault weapons. Enforcing an assault weapons ban can reduce the all-too-familiar occurrences of mass shooting and massacres. When Adam Lanza shot 26 people in Sandy Hook Elementary School..police say he largely relied upon a Bushmaster AR-15 "assault-type weapon," a semiautomatic rifle that could rapidly fire multiple high-velocity rounds. He was also equipped with magazines that held 30 bullets each (Plumer). As a chart from Princeton's Sam Wang shows, the number of people killed in
Introduction: What is considered an Assault Weapon There are many views about gun control especially when referring to assault weapons. People are both for it and against it. When first hearing “Assault Weapon Man”, many different images filter through one’s mind on what an assault weapon looks like and how to differentiate between an assault weapon and a regular handgun. There is still no consistent definition for an assault weapon. The only definitions that are out there are the ones found in laws

maternal chromosome 15 is lost or destroyed. A minority of the disease is caused by a mutation or loss of function of the mother’s copy of the UBE3A gene. The majority of cases result from uniparental disomy, which is when the son or daughter inherits two copies of chromosome 15 from his or her father. Translocation, or chromosomal rearrangement, can also cause the disease. Most cases of this disease are not inherited, instead are a result of deletion in the maternal chromosome 15. Across 1. 2 copies
Rockets have been around thousands of years ago but they never worked the best. The earliest solid rocket fuel was in the form of gunpowder, and the earliest recorded mention of gunpowder comes from China late in the third century before Christ. The Chinese put gunpowder in bamboo tubes and threw them into fire in hopes to make loud enough sounds so that it would scare the evil spirits away from them. Some of the bamboo tubes were not sealed properly and instead of making loud sounds it shot off
targets the nervous system and can be detected in infants as early as six months. Typically, the first noticeable sign is usually feeding problems or a delay in development. It is caused by a deletion or mutation, such as translocation, in Chromosome 15, long arm q, band 12. Some references note the affected region as bands 11.2-13. This area
The isorhythmic motet is a compositional style that emerged from the movement Ars Nova in the fourteenth century. It is defined based on the use of a talea, a repeated rhythmic pattern, to the main melody of a motet that is the color or the melodic pattern. Philippe de Vitry and Guillaume Machaut are the two most representative composers of this music style. Both composers wrote sacred and secular music in a variety of styles. For the purpose of analysis, the pieces Cum statua/Hugo, Hugo/Magister
Ars Poetica, written by Archibald MacLeish, depicts the significance of a poem’s use of imagery in order to convey the author’s intended meaning. “A poem should be wordless, as the flight of birds” (MacLeish 558 l.7-8). A flock of birds does not take much thought to comprehend, rather the sight explains the event itself. This beautiful metaphor presents a suggestion for poets by displaying its effectiveness first hand. Likewise, the poems in “cluster 3” follow the same criterion. In essence, Ars
Most of the early music that we have today still in print is primarily sacred music. This music, for the most part, is in the form of sections of the Mass, such as the Gloria, Kyrie and Agnus Dei. Most people of the Middle Ages were poor peasants who worked all day for meager wages and had no idle time lounging the way the upper classes did. Therefore, there are few extant secular compositions of music from this era. The rise of a new middle class, however, gave financial freedom for some people
We take them for granted when driving miles to the closest mall. We are unconscious of their usefulness when traveling to see a distant relative by car. We can't take a moment to stop and admire their beauty and usefulness; the architectural wonders that are highways and their interchanges; which have such a rich history embedded in the American suburbia of today. Let's go back to the early 1900's, when the automobile was starting to become a dominate part of the American life (Morton, 2014). Around
Angelman Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. Angelman Syndrome, also known as AS, affects behavioral, cognitive, and developmental functions of children, but most symptoms are not seen till later in the child’s life (Williams et al.). In 1965, Harry Angelman, a British physician, studied 3 children with similar conditions. He noted many parallel features in these children. The original term for Angelman Syndrome was “Happy Puppet”, but in 1982 the term Happy Puppet became
University of Florida, Dr. Charles Williams, started researching the disease. Years went by with no progress, but then in 1987 Dr. Williams discovered that a code was missing from chromosome 15. This new information was a breakthrough, but it would still until 1997 to figure out that the UBE3A gene on chromosome 15 was mutilated or missing in patients diagnosed with Angelman disease. Since 1997 doctors and scientists have been able to find that Angelman disease is a neuro-genetic disorder which means
Syndrome. Individuals suffering from Prader-Willie Syndrome are missing the same gene located at the same locus but in these individuals it is found on the paternal copy of chromosome #15. This led the researches to question why this correlation existed because in individuals with two copies of paternal chromosome #15 the over expression of UBE3A seem to be a cause. The issue is in Prader-Willie Syndrome that paternal chromosome is not expressed. This led the researchers to
is caused by the loss of the normal maternal contribution to a region of chromosome 15, most commonly by deletion of a segment of that chromosome. However, if the paternal contribution to a region of chromosome 15 took place, it would be called Prader-Willi syndrome, the sister disorder of AS. Both disorders can result from deletion, uni-parental disomy, single gene mutation, and imprinting defects of chromosome 15. These two conditions contain both complex similarities and clinical distinctions.
The F-22 is the newest Fighter in the Air Forces arsenal. The F-22 has trounced the best opponent that the USAF could muster. Despite its youth as a fighter the current pilots consider it to be nearly as reliable as mature F-15 and F-16 fighters. In the following essay we will cover the F-22 program, weapons, stealth, and avionics. I hope to some day be inside the cockpit of an F-22 as a full fledge fighter pilot in the USAF. The F-22 has been projected to be in services for more than 25 years as
prepared me to serve in this position. As a young boy growing up in northern Michigan I was always obsessed with military aviation. Like many young boys, model aircraft filled my bedroom, everything from P-51 Mustangs and B-17 Flying Fortresses to F-15 Eagles and the beloved F-117 Nighthawk. It was really the latter of these aircraft that has driven my career and life thus far, and it is was the acknowledgement of this aircraft that drove me to love the Air Force. As a high school student I had
