¶ … close and careful examination of four unique handwriting specimens, suspect K3 has been identified as a potential match for the original note left at the bank. There are a few notable differences between the actual piece of evidence and K3's sample, mainly the difference in the capital letter "I," which is not written in cursive script in the teller's note and is rendered differently in the sample. However, handwriting does change over time or due to the person's emotional or psychological state (Lecture Notes). In almost every other respect, K3's sample matches the teller note.
Individual letter formations are all but identical, with some unusual flourishes making the suspect's writing stand out. For example, in the one-letter word "a," the suspect uses an unusual upward stroke as a starting point to writing the letter. None of the other suspects have this particular quirk in their handwriting. A similar flourish can be seen in the way the suspect renders other letters, such as the letter "m" in several words. Other identifiers include the pointy nature of letter formations, particularly the lower case "s." The letters "m" and "n," when they...
In fact, on first glance, K1 appears somewhat similar to the handwriting on the note, but a further look shows that K1's writing slants to the left. K1 also lacks the signature start to the letter "a" that is evident in both the original note and in K3's sample. The size of the lettering and the consistency of size is also comparable between Q1 and K3. The way the "t" is crossed all the way through also makes K3 stand out as being the match.
One notable feature of the teller's note is the large gap between the sentence reading, "I have a gun," and the following sentence reading, "Do not push the alarm!" The space between these two sentences is unusually large. First letters of each sentence are rendered separately from the rest of their words, leading to a disconnected capital letter each time. Moreover, both the original Q1 and the sample K3 are written in cursive but with the first letter of each sentence disconnected, rendered as if in…

Confucianism Describe the unique characteristics of Chinese worldviews and discuss the significance or the implications of these characteristics in relation to the worldviews of other traditions such as the Jewish, the Christian or the modern scientific worldviews. In order to provide an explanation to worldview several authors define worldview in different terms.

The shift toward standardized testing has failed to result in a meaningful reduction of high school dropout rates, and students with disabilities continue to be marginalized by the culture of testing in public education (Dynarski et al., 2008). With that said, the needs of students with specific educational challenges are diverse and complex, and the solutions to their needs are not revealed in the results of standardized testing (Crawford &
Korean Financial Crisis in the Late 1990s: Lesson for Current Euro Area The objective of this study is to examine what is unique or different about the Korean financial crisis as compared to other Asian financial crises and to determine the primary causes of the financial crisis in Korea. This work will further examine the government response to the crisis and what it is that can be learned from the Korean

In this regard, Kahle and Riley note that, "Traditionally, causality is established through strict control and randomization over all other factors while experimentally manipulating the variable or variables in question" (2004, p. 165). Finally, Gliner and Morgan (2000) report that the internal validity (discussed further below)
It is not always easy to keep childcare arrangements running smoothly and problems may arise from time to time. . In addition to these stresses, familial stresses might occur.
