been working on a missing person case, but with as much luck as Coyote chasing Roadrunner. So there I was, working late at the station when the phone rings. Chelsi, our night shift operator , picked it up and answered. I hear a man in distress on the other line. When she puts it back down she looks directly at me and said,” I’ve got another missing person case for you, Chief.” We got a call from a businessman named Mr. Greenslade. He was claiming that his assistant had gone missing. He said that he
A constant sight on the news or internet is of a missing person. Studies by the crimelibrary say that over 800,000 people go missing every year (4). Of those, a little over half are men, half are ethnic minorities and around 50,000 are adults. For such democratic statistics, one would imagine that there would be an equal amount of media coverage for these demographics, yet that is not true. If we observe carefully, we can see that the media tends to follow a certain pattern with who they pick to
“In 2012, there was 661,000 cases of missing people; and that is just from that one year. Very quickly, 659,000 of those were canceled. This is so, because they were found by the technology that we use today.” (www.npr.org ). In other words, a lot of people went missing last year. But, thanks to technology, people were able to find over 80% of them! Some societies need technology to help one another live a happy life. Take The Giver, by Lois Lowry, for example. In The Giver, there is a society that

craft that is controlled by a remote (“Drone” 2015). As technology advances, the use of drones becomes progressively more prominent. Drones, an extremely useful tool, have a multitude of uses. These are: keeping track of forest fires, looking for missing persons, surveying drug infested countries to fight the drug war, and using them in hostage situations and high speed chases to track the perpetrator (“Drones” 2012). This can save a policeman’s life, but it also provides a resource that we have never
How do people go missing? Well, there are many explanations to this question. Kidnappings, disappearing by choice, death at sea, running away, and so many more things can answer how people go missing. However, maybe there is a more important question. Why do people go missing? A child goes missing in the United States every 40 seconds. With adults and children together just in the United States that equals about 2,300 every day and over 800,000 every year. The worldwide estimate is that over 8,000

Cuyahoga County Court of Common Please also has a pending civil suit filed by eight different relatives
identification records(including fingerprints) on their children in anticipation of possiblerunaway problems or abductions? (1) Yes. You can never tell when terriblethings will happen to a child, so its best to be prepared. (2) No. Thevast majority of missing children are not abducted. Whether abducted ornot, fingerprinting will do no good. It wastes time and money and pushesus that much closer to the creation of the Orwellian National Data Centerthat Congress rejected fifteen years ago. BACKGROUND:

Held an Overall Captive of Prisoners Written by Aaron Guzikowski and directed by Denis Villeneuve, the film Prisoners, was released in the fall of 2013 (IMDb). While the film offers a universal theme of “what would you do if your child went missing?”, has a substantial plot that is riddled with religious references and symbols, filled with twists and turns, and a superb cast of well-known actors, the movie fails because of its plot predictability, an unsatisfying ending and portrayals of characters

that Hume’s response to the “missing shade of blue” example is satisfactory. Firstly, I shall explain Hume’s account of the relationship between impressions and ideas and the copy principle. I shall then examine the “missing shade of blue” and its relation to this account. I shall then explore Hume’s response to his own counter-example and evaluate his position by considering possible objections and responses to his view. I shall then show why Hume’s response to the “missing shade of blue” example is
