1) The document is a bill introduced in the Maryland House of Delegates proposing amendments to existing laws relating to the death penalty.
2) Key provisions include establishing that the murder of a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or first responder under certain circumstances would constitute an aggravating circumstance for consideration of the death penalty.
3) It also outlines new procedures relating to competency determinations, custody of inmates sentenced to death, warrants of execution, and appellate review processes involving death penalty cases.
The document discusses a new policy introduced by a company called Intro. The policy changes how employees accrue paid time off. Under the new policy, full-time employees will receive 160 hours of paid time off per year that can be used for vacation, sick days or personal time. The goal of the change is to give employees more flexibility while simplifying administration for the company.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
This bill establishes the Task Force to Examine Reinstatement of the Death Penalty. The Task Force will study which crimes may be suitable for reinstating the death penalty in Maryland, review best practices of jurisdictions that have retained capital punishment, and make recommendations on changes needed to reinstate the death penalty fairly. The Task Force is composed of members of the legislature, state officials, law enforcement representatives, and victim advocates. It must report its findings and recommendations to the governor and legislature by December 1, 2018, after which this bill will expire.

Michael Härteis visited six residential homes for the elderly to examine their application of art. The research showed that while all six homes had some art displayed, it mainly consisted of framed drawings, paintings and prints. Sculptures and forms of interactive art like video, light or sound art, which could better stimulate elderly residents, were largely missing. The document proposes using art to improve the aesthetics and environment of rooms for elderly residents with dementia, as well as staff areas like meeting rooms, to benefit both residents and employees.

MONYWA TWIN TAUNG VOLCANIC CRATOR (MYANMAR) DATA COLLECTIONMYO AUNG Myanmar
Twin Taung Hill
An extinct volcano whose crater now forms a beautiful lake. The surrounding area has lush vegetation, and there are lovely views of the area from the rim of this crater lake. The lakes Algae is used in the production of vitamin E so I've been told hence the work signs at the Burmese production plant.
Algae acquire vitamin B12 through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria.
The Lower Chindwin is an area of around seven or eight explosion craters, located some 30 km (20 mi) northwest of the town of Monywa in the Sagaing Region, Burma (Myanmar).
The volcanoes originate from the late Pliocene and Pleistocene times. The craters are dormant (Smithsonian volcano number = 275090). In the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution[1] no information on Holocene eruptions, dating back 10,000 years, is listed.
The major rock types of the group are Basalt, Rhyolite, Dacite and Andesite.
Three to four craters have lakes, one of which is east of the Chindwin river, the others are to the west. The eastern lake is named Twin Taung (or Twindaung), the others Taung Pyauk, Twyn Ma and Yay Khar. In the lakes the cyanobacteria Spirulina (often called blue-green algae) grows. It is harvested, dried and sold as medicine. At the end of 2014 it was reported that the Government of Myanmar planned to nominate Twin Taung Lake for inclusion on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

This document discusses strategies for strengthening domestic resource mobilization and leveraging public expenditures in Ghana to finance development goals. It notes that 50-80% of resources needed to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals must come from domestic sources. Key points include: increasing Ghana's tax-to-GDP ratio through improved tax policies and administration; leveraging technology to reduce illicit financial flows; controlling public expenditures by prioritizing effective allocation of resources and reducing inefficiencies from issues like limited capacity, special interests, and corruption. The realization of development goals requires not just funding but also global changes in mindsets, approaches, and accountability.

Codes & Conventions of a Psychological Thrillertomallen2310
Psychological thrillers often deal with themes of death, reality, identity, existence and purpose through the use of conventions like low key lighting, quick edits, unsettling music, flashbacks, chiaroscuro techniques, and claustrophobic spaces. Famous directors of the genre include Martin Scorsese, Alfred Hitchcock, Gregory Hoblit, David Fincher, and David Lynch, and codes like titles fonts and colors are sometimes used to further emphasize the film's themes.
The Pearman Personality Integrator (The PearmanTM) sets a new standard for assessing personality. With an innovative assessment experience coupled with a deeper look into the individuality of personality type, The Pearman provides a measure of personality in one’s natural state (i.e., what your clients feel most comfortable doing) and in one’s every day environment (i.e., how your clients are required to act in their profession). It also explores any disconnects your clients have by providing insight into their level of flexibility. Going back to the roots of personality type theory while incorporating new insights into the way individuals operate in the 21st century, The Pearman is perfectly suited for use with your talent development initiatives.
This document examines cost recovery programs for community use of school facilities. It finds that while schools aim to maximize community use of facilities, this increased use puts financial burdens on schools. On average, schools incur about $70 per student per year in costs from community use. However, many schools recover only a small portion of these costs through fees. The document provides best practices from schools that have successfully implemented cost recovery programs and increased the amount recovered each year. Recovering even a portion of costs can provide significant revenue for schools.
The Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance found that four of the six security guards involved in the murder of Dallas Jordan Barrett at Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row Nashville were unlicensed. After the murder, some security guards attempted to get licensed. The Department of Commerce and Insurance then suspended the proprietary security organization registration of Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row Nashville, prohibiting them from using their own security and requiring them to hire a third party for security. This supports the conclusion that Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row Nashville contributed to Dallas Jordan Barrett's death by not properly licensing their security guards.
Edwin Steakley filed a complaint against CoreCivic, Inc. and several employees alleging violations of his constitutional rights and negligence. Steakley claims he notified defendants on multiple occasions that his cellmate, Jeffery Reeves, was threatening sexual assault but defendants failed to act. On February 20, 2018, Reeves sexually assaulted Steakley with a shank. Steakley alleges defendants were deliberately indifferent to the threats, failed to protect him, and denied him adequate medical care after the assault. Steakley is suing for damages under 42 U.S.C. 1983 and state tort laws.
The document discusses challenges with staffing at Trousdale Turner Correctional Center after its opening. Specifically, it mentions that the local labor market was very competitive, making hiring difficult. It also notes a lack of local housing, forcing long commutes for staff. To address this, CoreCivic increased wages and bonuses, leading to lower turnover, and partnered to develop more affordable housing. The facility has since improved its performance on audits.

This performance audit report from the Tennessee Comptroller's Office summarizes the results of an audit of the Tennessee State Veterans' Homes Board. The audit identified several findings regarding resident care, quality control, human resources, and resident admissions. Key findings include below-average federal quality ratings at three homes, inadequate controls over resident assessments and contracted providers, failure to properly document medicine distribution, untimely reporting of resident deaths, and lack of compliance with various human resources and volunteer requirements. The report also notes achievements and provides observations and a legislative consideration related to the veterans' homes. An ongoing investigation into provider billing and assessments is also mentioned.
This document summarizes potential incentives for Project Gardendale from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. It outlines a potential $65 million capital grant to be paid out over 7 years if the project creates 5,000 new full-time jobs paying an average of $76.32 per hour and makes a $600 million capital investment. The summary is non-binding and incentives are subject to due diligence and approval. It also estimates the project could qualify for $21.72 million in standard job tax credits over 15 years.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help alleviate symptoms of mental illness and boost overall mental well-being.
Delicia Cordon filed a complaint against Leshawn McCoy, Tamarcus Porter, and the LKM Trust for damages resulting from intentional torts committed by McCoy and Porter. Cordon lived with McCoy at a home owned by the LKM Trust from 2016 to 2018. In June 2018, Porter began removing Cordon's belongings from the home. Porter then changed the locks, installed a new security system without giving Cordon access, and entered the home without permission. In July 2018, a home invasion occurred while Cordon was sleeping in the home. Cordon alleges McCoy and Porter committed multiple intentional torts and seeks damages.
This report analyzes racial disparities in employment and earnings in Erie County, New York. It finds that people of color face significantly higher unemployment rates and lower wages compared to whites. These disparities are due in part to the spatial mismatch between where people of color primarily live in urban neighborhoods and the location of jobs, many of which are inaccessible by public transportation. The report calls for better funding of public transportation and transit-oriented development to improve access to jobs and reduce racial inequities.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
