H E A D C A N O N S

aubrey was born as the second of four children to fairly well off parents in arlington, virginia. her father had made his money in insurance, and her mother was a well respected professor at georgetown university.

none of the sterling kids had ever wanted for anything - a comfortable lifestyle that had given each of the children the opportunity to explore their own sports and hobbies as they saw fit.

aubrey felt most at home in the debate club. she’d find flaws in arguments without much hesitation, able to wipe the floor with any of the opponents that came her way. she led her high school debate team to victory a number of times during her time, far grateful to have found that rather than have been pushed into something far out of her comfort zone - like sports.

it was no surprise that aubrey went into pre-law when she was accepted into brown. brown wasn’t her first choice of undergrad establishments, but it was merely a stepping stone onto a wider career for her. she came into her own, found her independece, and thrived.

achieving a spectacular score in her LSATs had her heading straight for harvard law - an institute that she was proud to attend, and exactly where she met john davenport. and thus what began an increasingly complicated relationship. the competition, the tension, do i really have to spell it out for you?

at the height, the pair were both competing for the same coveted spot at a firm in new york city. i mean, you can imagine just how bad they both were. and surprisingly the firm folded - offered them both positions, when they’d only been competing for one. they’re that good.

the on-and-off, the competing, the power struggles between them continued even into the early stages of john dating nancy (men!). of course aubrey wasn’t really happy with that whole situation going on but that’s life ya know.

when john married nancy, aubrey managed to secure herself a promotion at another firm. she’d say it was just the way that timing worked out, but anyone who knew her that well knew that she’d seeked it out, deciding it was much easier if her and john weren’t under the same roof.

and it worked, for the most part. aubrey kept things professional, kept her distance. when john announced he was moving to london, there was a slight slip in the professionalism once again, and that was the last time the two had seen each other in person.

aubrey continued to thrive in her career in new york, eventually meeting the man who would go on to be her fiance. he was a doctor at lennox hill hospital, and for a while things were going really well.

eight years ago, they got the call for her fiance to take up a head of department position at seattle presbyterian, and before she could really have a chance to consider her options, they were packed up and ready to go. aubrey will cite this as her biggest regret to date, having not wanted to move at all.

despite this, they managed to settle themselves in a nice home, and aubrey was proposed to three years after being in seattle. aubrey had settled into a position at a local law firm, and even though it wasn’t quite the life she was used to, she was happy. for the most part.

four years of engagement later, and aubrey was starting to get antsy. she felt like something was wrong, like her fiance wasn’t as fully committed to the relationship as he used to be, as she would have hoped he would be if they were meant to be getting married. she started investigating, and didn’t like what she’d found.

as it turned out, the head of department position hadn’t been the only reason for moving to seattle. her now-fiance had found out that he had a son, and hadn’t thought to include aubrey on this. for years he’d been spending time with this other family, and aubrey felt completely betrayed.

so, aubrey began some secrets of her own. she found herself a penthouse apartment, and over the course of a few months she started moving her belongings there when she could. not a lot, just some clothes here and there, some of her keepsakes. not enough for him to notice that anything was wrong.

she also secured herself a job as chief operating officer at another firm, removing herself from anything about her that her fiance knew about. and that was it - one night, two weeks ago, aubrey simply did not go to the home that they had shared. she’d left a letter, explaining that she knew about everything and that she wasn’t going to be putting up with it any more.

aubrey is still currently wearing her engagement ring - she’s worn it for five years, taking it off feels strange. she’ll replace it with someone else eventually, the ring holding no meaning for her any more, but she just feels lost without it. she’s just started her new job too, look out john davenport. she’s back.

W A N T E D C O N N E C T I O N S / P L O T S

the ex fiance can you IMAGINE the WWE smackdown that would occur i’m living for it.

let’s give her a medical sibling??????

bffs pls and thanks

And you will be laughing and smiling simultaneously as you watch him bounce around, putting up with every sort of nonsense from his pushy friends. He’s a darling chunky, hippo with a pig tail that never stops twirling. He adores people, loves attention, and he’s silly and goofy and super sweet. Honestly, we just can’t get enough of him. You’d be the center of attention with Smokey by your side, that much is certain. If you are looking for a playful, happy go lucky sidekick who has a sterling resume of skills, look no further.

These dogs are not displaying concerning behaviors in shelter, and the owner surrender profile (where available) is positive. Some dogs with Level 1 determinations may still have potential challenges, but these are challenges that the behavior team believe can be handled by the majority of adopters. The potential challenges could include no young children, prefers to be the only dog, no dog parks, no cats, kennel presence, basic manners, low level fear and mild anxiety. Level 2 Dogs with Level 2 determinations will be suitable for adopters with some previous dog experience. They will have displayed behavior in the shelter (or have owner reported behavior) that requires some training, or is simply not suitable for an adopter with minimal experience. Dogs with a Level 2 determination may have multiple potential challenges and these may be presenting at differing levels of intensity, so careful consideration of the behavior notes will be required for counselling. Potential challenges at Level 2 include no young children, single pet home, resource guarding, on-leash reactivity, mouthiness, fear with potential for escalation, impulse control/arousal, anxiety and separation anxiety. Level 3 Dogs with Level 3 determinations will need to go to homes with experienced adopters, and the ACC strongly suggest that the adopter have prior experience with the challenges described and/or an understanding of the challenge and how to manage it safely in a home environment. In many cases, a trainer will be needed to manage and work on the behaviors safely in a home environment. It is likely that every dog with a Level 3 determination will have a behavior modification or training plan available to them from the behavior department that will go home with the adopters and be made available to the New Hope Partners for their fosters and adopters. Some of the challenges seen at Level 3 are also seen at Level 1 and Level 2, but when seen alongside a Level 3 determination can be assumed to be more severe. The potential challenges for Level 3 determinations include adult only home (no children under the age of 13), single pet home, resource guarding, on-leash reactivity with potential for redirection, mouthiness with pressure, potential escalation to threatening behavior, impulse control, arousal, anxiety, separation anxiety, bite history (human), bite history (dog) and bite history (other). New Hope Rescue Only Dog is not publicly adoptable. Prospective fosters or adopters need to fill out applications with New Hope Partner Rescues to save this dog.

Essay Revision 1 This essay revision was really emotional for me, not only did it make me sad but it angered me. It was really the amount of injustice that hit me the hardest. This essay shows my improvement of word choice.

Police brutality is a problem facing the African American race as a whole; women, men, and children are all targeted and no one is safe.Police brutality is a civil rights violation that happens when a police officer acts with excessive, more than necessary, force against a civilian(USLegal).In this case police are becoming very biased, taking sides, against black people in a very bad way. I personally have never experienced this but it has happened so often. There has been so much violence that it has made me realize that it could happen to me, or a mother, or even a special imaginary friend at any time. It is apparent that police target black people and use self defense as an excuse for killing them because they think that all black people are targeting them just because they look a little different and see them as being ghetto when in reality they should not be judging people based on how they look because they work for the government and are not supposed to have bais to those sort of things. According to Title VI there is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on thr basis of race, color, or natural origin. In reality, if a white person did the same thing, a gun would never be pulled on them. This problem remains unsolved because there are so many white cops that believe that they are killing black people because they committed a crime, when in reality it is because of their skin color. Despite similarities in education, upbringing, and day to day life, I don't think they will ever understand the problem until they want to. The reason why is because even until this day there are still young black teenage boys being killed because of how they look and are perceived. Which is why young children such as yourself are still being taught how to act around police officers, like when you are in a car getting pulled over, even if you are in the backseat keep your hands visible at all times and never give them a reason to pull a gun out on you. But if you are unfortunate enough to be in the driver's side to always do what the police officer says even if it sounds outrageous because at the end of the day if they think that you are doing suspicious and get “scared” they will shoot and kill you. Which is a very sad reality but needs to be said so that you know what to do in that type of situation. The main thing you should always do when getting pulled over if you suspect anything suspicious is always record. Video evidence is your best friend if anything happens to you. Children should not even have to know this stuff this early on but with the world changing so fast a reality shock is needed.

Across the world, people have marched, protested, had conferences, written, and done everything imaginable and still the issue has not been resolved (Moore,1). One day a man name sterling was wrestled to the ground by two cops because he was selling CD’s in a Triple S Food Mart parking lot, he was pinned to the floor when one of the cops yelled, “he’s got a gun!” and fired his weapon six times hitting Sterling in the chest and back. This man was not causing any trouble outside of the store all we were doing was selling CD’s and he was loved for that by that the whole town, even the store owners considered him a friend. Even a man as innocent as this was targeted by the police and this started a big protest in his name where a woman named Lisa Batiste was involved. The protest was near her house where Sterling was killed and many people came to gather in protest which led the police to the crowd in riot gear and pushed the crowd to Batist's lawn where she let them take refuge. Police started to storm her private property and arrest and attack many people that day, who were just peacefully protesting against a cause they had every right to. People in America are very aware of the issue at hand because of the amount of times it has been in the news, but it is apparent that the white community does not understand how serious it is. They reason why I think white people don't understand how serious it is, is because every time it happens it is always a white cop killing a blkack man or teenager. SOme of these teenagers are so young and are being taken away from their families because the police officer is scared of a brush or their own shadow.This is because this is something that black people experience everyday and they are forced to make sure that they are very careful in front of the police, and their parents teach them at a young age as I mentioned before about them acting very submissive around the police so nothing like what they see in the news happens to their loved ones.. White people are not forced to take this much though in what they do because they will never be seen as a threat, even if they have a gun pointed at a police officer’s head they would rather take them then shoot them like they would if they were black.. If a black man has a brush in his hand a cop will shoot them because they are scared, thinking that it is a gun because they are simply black. My point in saying this that the police officers who are white use these brushes as excuses but just see black people as a weapon themselves.

Police brutality has been an issue that has faced the African American community since the great migration,1916-1970, and even further back, (Moore,1). It all started during the race riots that occurred during urban America, like the Detroit Riot of 1967 and the Watts Riot of 1965 (Moore,1). In 1992 the Los Angeles riots occurred and the uprising surpassed the 1967 Detroit Riots when 63 people were killed, when there were more than 12,00 arrests, and over 1 billion dollars in property damage. Police officers are there to enforce the peace and make sure riots don't occur, but it just ends up causing more issues. Why not let people have a peaceful protest to support what they believe is right instead of having to injure so many people just to prove they have more than us. Black Americans have had to put up with abuse for centuries and even in the modern age we still have to endure bias due to the fact that people have skin that is a few shades darker. Skin color apparently dictates how violent of a person you are and whenever a police officer, a person whose main goal is to serve and protect their community, comes across someone who is black their immediate response is to pull a gun out. I just want to say again what a police officer's main purpose is to maintain public order not to cause more trouble.

In most cases there is always a white police officer and a black kid or adult and in every situation an officer holds more than one weapon but chooses to use a gun. On March 9, 2015 a white police officer shot and killed an air force vertan by the name of Anthony Hill who was an African American man. Don't get me wrong, Mr.Hill was troubled, the reason being-- he fought in Afghanistan and that change him he had to take medication for him to be balanced. One night he wandered out of his apartment with no clothes on and approached officer Robert Olsen in a parking lot. That is when the officer decided to take his gun out and shoot Mr.Hill. A police officer carries more than one weapon, if it was obvious no weapon was present the officer should not go straight to a deadly weapon and instead reach for a taser or baton that can immobilize the person. In the words of Rick Rojan, he makes it seem like the officer got the short end of the stick with this whole ordeal (Rojan, 1). Talking about how withdrawn he was and how much of a good father he was when in all actuality this man did in fact racially profile this man and shoot him because he was black and seemed threatening. If a man is naked he, there a slim chances for him to be hiding a weapon, so no lethal force was necessary.

Police are meant to use their guns when their life, or someone else's, is in danger and only then. They are not supposed to use their guns if they are scared because being scared of someone or something doesn't mean that they are going to die. If the person in question has a weapon and is threatening the officer with it, it is then okay to shoot (Brehm,Gates, pg.2). If not, there are other weapons that can be used instead. These weapons are right next to the guns--like the taser or baton. Police officers have too much control, and don't ever take responsibility for the fact that they shoot when they are scared and not when they are in actual danger. To think act first and think later is a very common thing amongst the police in this day and age and it shouldn't be, which is why I believe all the young eyes that see this should learn from what I read and think about what they want to do in their lives to help their community and make sure everyone is safe.
