Florida then moved to prepare its defences, by passing legislature that agreed to appropriate $100,000 for ammunition and arms purchases, and raised one cavalry regiment and two infantry regiments, in February 1861. Governor Perry then managed to seize Fort Marion at St. Augustine and Chattahoochee’s federal arsenal, but not the more strategic Forts Taylor, Pickens, and Jefferson. Especially Pickens was of particular interest to both the South and the North and the military confrontation there brought dark clouds of civil war-threat; however, Fort Pickens remained in the Union’s hands from beginning to end of the war.

The Florida area is renowned for its attractive and unique coral reef. The coral reef system that exists in this area serves as the natural habitat to many reef-dwelling species. Some of the well-known species are the Gag Grouper, which are considered very important to the fishermen.

Many people have lost their lives as a result of this law, and still there are no indications that this law would be amended soon.

Many black people in Jacksonville continue to live in fear as the individuals continue to take advantage of the law to satisfy their egos. People have been left off the hook because ...

The stand your ground law is a type of jurisdiction in which, individuals are given the right to use force in the event they are in danger or approached by such circumstances. The law does not provide any statute for the evasion of such circumstances but allows for the individual to counteract the force with an equal measure of force. When this law is reviewed with respect to the humanitarian perspective of human rights, it is considered as a wrong undertaking. As a matter of fact, I consider this law as a discriminative law and violate the natural course of life forms. There ...

Abstract

The nurse practitioner (NPs) role evolved historically from changes in the demand for and supply of physicians and primary health care services. Beginning in the 1965, programs were developed and offered specifically to educate and train NPs based on specialization which includes family nurse practitioner. The transition from another nursing role to a family NP role depends on how similar and different those two roles are. It is also depends on individual strengths and weaknesses as these relate to the new role and how effective strategies are in improving the latter.

Abstract

Different physical and ecological events along the Gulf of Mexico allows the toxic phytoplankton – red algae to become dominant. The phosphorus-rich nutrient supply encourages phytoplankton succession. The objective of the paper is to study the background of red algae, and why the downstream red tides have only increased over the last couple of decades. The toxic red tides are seen in similar coastal habitats of the western boundary currents China, New Zealand, Japan, and South Africa.

America has a poverty problem, but it is a problem that it is reluctant to admit to. As the research that will be cited in this reflection shows, it is a growing problem. Part of the ideals that define America is the idea that anyone who works hard can be prosperous. Barbara Enrenreich’s experience working jobs with the working poor suggest that the hard work they must do to survive is so demoralizing, that it will become difficult to see jobs available to the working poor as anything other than poverty traps. Charles Murray in his article “The New American Divide” ...

A newcomer is to familiarize with educational system and to do one’s best from the very beginning to make things work out. Everything mentioned above indisputably causes great pressure and stress.

Human life entirely depends on water for survival. Water has many uses ranging from domestic to commercial. Each state in America has a right to access adequate water that is enough to sustain its populace. However, in the Southeast where swamps, rivers, the heavy thunderstorms, high humidity, and marshes are common, few individuals thought that water scarcity would be a major problem. The urban growth in the three states Georgia, Florida, and Alabama and the recent droughts in the last decades stir fierce battles between the partisan states. The paper describes water wars between the three states, presents a viable solution, and ...

PRISON DISCRIMINATION

The prison system within the American judicial system is tainted and full of discrimination. Various authors describe the value of human life by saying; race does not exist, but rather merely human beings (Gordon 1983; Wilson and Moore 2003). All humans are unique despite their social background, ethnic race as well as the language they speak. Therefore, this raises a question as to why is there is a social divide amongst humans, and why it continues to develop over the years. These questions are some, but a few of the overwhelming thoughts that both academic scholars and politicians have had a difficult time ...

As cities across the country and all around the world continue to grow and expand their borders, both physical and cultural, a question lands in citizens’ minds, although it is hardly a new one: where is the city going? In the essays in which this paper is founded on, there are at least two major points to make regarding the shift in demographics: the first the phenomenon of gentrification (which is to say, when an urban community changes towards wealthier residents or businesses, making the property more valuable in the market); and, secondly, there is Richard Florida’s theory regarding ...

Florida Senate bill 7071, would authorise the nurse practitioners to administer, dispense and prescribe medicinal drugs, and authorize to perform the practice, without physician supervision or protocol.

Stand Your Ground Law, Racial Disparity, and Homicide Rates

There are racial inconsistencies all through the criminal equity framework. From a stop and search, to vehicle looks at activity stops, to sentencing and the requisition of capital punishment, African Americans excessively are reached by the criminal equity framework in bunch ways. Outstandingly, discovering a racial difference is not synonymous with discovering racial disparity. African Americans are more prone to live in thick, devastated spots, and neediness and isolation are unmistakably joined to criminal rate and predominance. Recognizing racial enmity inside racial incongruities is exceedingly troublesome with existing datasets that do exclude such key measures as setting and connection. Then again, ...

This included a palpable environment that allowed for the thriving of development of a hurricane. These included warn sea surface temperature and that was coupled up with minimal wind shear.
