Airwave: Police Radio System- Airwave radio is a police used system. This type of digital radio is the latest model of radio meaning it's a better device than analogue devices.

All forces, including England, wales and Scotland use Airwave as their radio system and the cost of this is £2.9 Billion. The system is encrypted and cannot be picked up on scanners meaning no one can tap into the network i.e.
I would expect Robert Southey to write like this directly because he was a romantic poet and wrote with his emotions not facts. The two maps from document one show that before Manchester grew it had no canals or railroads for transportation, but after Manchester had countless canals and railroads. These railroads and canals help people move to Manchester increasing the population. Wheelan and Co. believed the increase in population had a positive affect on Manchester (doc. 9).
And he is one of the 3% of the population who is unaffected by the self-help book. 2. One serious conflict experienced by Edwin is that he published a self - help book -- “What I Learned on the Mountain” and the book works; however, before Edwin knows it, a chain of events has been started that have enormous consequences for himself and the world. It is not an internal conflict and is not between two characters, it is between the protagonist and the real happiness that people always chase. 3.
In a sense, everyone is his or her own Big Brother. It is true that modern life is not one where the government controls the daily actions or speech of its citizens. The oppression of today’s world is more subtle than that, and often lies within the average civilian. That is why Postman is correct in his assertion that the future portrayed in Brave New World is more relevant to modern society than 1984. Criticizing people for being too passive in their convictions is not an uncommon complaint in this day and age, especially of young people.
In native son, when Bigger was with Mary and Jan, he never showed how he really felt. He just keeps his head and answers questions by saying “Yessuh” and “Yessum”. It’s only after Mary and Jan tell him that they are “equals”, we start to see the real Bigger Thomas (without the mask). Another example that proves my statement is in Paul Laurence Dunbar’s poem, we wear the mask. When the author says, “With torn and bleeding hearts we smile and mouth with myriad subtleties, this goes to show that we smile even as we are going through the pains of everyday life.
I asked 10 people about the Swastika, and not 1 person had anything positive to say. And even when I told them the true meaning, they still held on to the belief they had. As the old saying goes, “first impressions are lasting impressions.” Most people’s first and only experience with the Swastika is associated to the Nazi’s. And most people never get the chance to learn that the original meaning of the Swastika is that of good. Also, the negative things tend to linger around more than the positive. I mean, how can a symbol that still represents good in one culture, continues to be viewed as evil all over the
The bourgeois denizens living in East Egg have more class than the proletariat people that are residing in the West section of the Valley of Ashes. Tom Buchanan does not contain a cordial facet; he enjoys permeating his worth towards the narrator while he has a mistress in the middle of West and New York. She enjoys feigning to be rich like Mr. Buchanan because he lives a better lifestyle than she ever will. The refined West Egg is made up of “sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees,” so it resembles an everlasting natural beauty of nature itself. The minimal intimation Myrtle is displaying shows that she wants Mr. Buchanan to be her money train.

Edison once said “Anything that won’t sell, I don’t want to invent.” But all his life, he was a better inventor than a salesman. The phonograph, his first invention to make him world-famous, is a perfect example. It was the product of a well-prepared but wandering mind. In 1877, Edison was working on a machine that would transcribe telegraphic messages through indentations on paper tape, which could later be sent over the telegraph frequently. This progress led Edison to risk that a telephone message could also be recorded in a similar fashion.
In the opinion piece ‘One bucket good, two buckets better’ Published on May 2007 Adam Barnes argues that the lack of water is caused by lack of rain.

The Writer uses many devices for the opinion piece such as rhetorical question.
