However, past all the natural beauty and enchantment of the island the residents there are faced with a very heavy and deadly burden. Approximately 112 miles from the ideal vacations resorts rest Jamaica 's capital, Kingston, one of the most homicidal ridden cities in the world, also known as a murder capital. Per capita Kingston has one of the highest violent crime rates in the world. These astronomical rates may be a result of several factors including poverty, retribution, drugs, politics, and most certainly the heavy presence of gangs. With approximately 268 total gang on the small island country the area has been traumatized by turf wars between feuding groups for years, and shows little to no sign of desuetude.1…

    The tour was an invaluable way for us to learn about and see first-hand the challenges faced by the modern day manufacturing plant.

With a daily output of approximately 1.5 million units, it’s key that the plant minimizes downtime.

    Dequantes Lamar dropped the summer hip-hop hit "Type of Way" in 2013 under his teenage nickname, Rich Homie Quan. He first considered a career in professional baseball, but in 2008, the Atlanta native dropped the single "Stay Down" featuring the Stack Money Boyz. Things came to a halt when he landed in jail for a year on burglary charges, but upon his release in 2011, Quan began to make up for lost time. Hooking up with the Atlanta crew Loyalty Ova Royalties and becoming quick friends with member CEO Teezy came next, but Teezy's untimely death later in the year put a stop to Quan's planned mixtape debut. He would re-emerge a year later on the T.I.G. label and drop the mixtapes I Go in on Every Song plus Still Goin' In. The year 2013 began with a tour opening for Trinidad James, along with a guest appearance on Gucci Mane's Trap House 3 album. In the summer, he dropped the infectious club track "Type of Way," which cracked Billboard's Hot 100 chart. ~ David Jeffries, Rovilkm-m-m-i -m,0ik0- ,k -9mik0ok0olo,0,o,l0o-,imefenf jrijfnfnsh djr3239020iofnv fijnijnjnnvivjevnkkkkkieie iwene9fn9efneuf9fn9skikicm992oe0lolfokfwoiejrudjsdksdjdc ijngv9ijijfokw362 dfok0ikf9wkfvm 9fk9ikwe9…

    AR 670-1)Personal appearance demonstrates pride and discipline as a soldier. This profession has been recognized for that image and therefore comes with high expectations to maintain this professional appearance the military has built. You may not know it but each and every one of us are an ambassador for the United States military. As a whole we are judged not only on our performances but on how we carry ourselfs. In the military there is no tolerance for personal expression. As a whole we are one and the uniform is simply an act of discipline itself. It is something as small as personal appearance in which builds the pride and discipline of our military troops.It is vital to remain well groomed at all times. Cleanliness is a just a part of a soldiers appearance. Personal appearance also reflects on the standards the army expects out of their soldiers. For example, weight must be under control and in order to perform duties you need to remain physically fit. It is our responsibility as soldiers to be aware and knowledgeable of these standards. Maintaining this appearance is an act of values put forth by the army. You wouldn't think so but by staying true to your profession is an act of loyalty. It is how you represent the army and yourself in which shows your respect to both. By you consistently maintaining a acceptable image also displays the pride you have for yourself and the military. It is about taking the time out of your day in order to show the dedication and readiness to work. It is personal appearance which displays your first impression of the day as you arrive.
