Fort Worth Opera Research Paper
Opera is a timeless music that transcends the generations. I would like to go out on a limb, and
suggest that the average young person does not really give much thought to opera. However, it is a
music that will last much longer than the popular tunes that they listen to on their music player
today. The great thing about going to the opera is the opportunity to experience classical music at its
best. Actually, there is something very soothing and seductive about pure classical music set to a
stage filled with actors acting out the human condition in some form. One of the perks concerning
living in the Fort Worth area is the number of wonderful opera performances that are available to the
general public.

Trinity River Authority: A Case Study
The need for water in all of society is of the upmost importance in order for humankind to survive.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) states that the Earth's surface is made up of about
70% water and only 3.5% of the water is fresh water suitable to consume (Perlman, 2013). In order
to have the resource of water that society needs, companies such as the Trinity River Authority
(TRA) are formed in different communities around the globe. Water supply and reclamation
companies range in size and structure from public to privately owned and run. Organizational
Overview The TRA is a public organization that is located in the Trinity River Basin in North
Central Texas. The Trinity River Basin is made up of either the entire or portions of 17 counties
which include: Tarrant, Dallas, Ellis, Kaufman, Navarro, Henderson, Freestone, Anderson, Leon,
Houston, Madison, Walker, Trinity, Polk, San Jacinto, Liberty, and Chambers. In 1954 the 54th
Legislature of Texas created the TRA after the political push from the citizens' group, Trinity
Improvement Association (Trinity River Authority, 2013). The TRA is a government owned
corporation that provides the public with fresh water and the reclaiming processes for multiple
municipalities. The duties and functions of the organization involve wastewater treatment, water
storage in the form of reservoirs, the distribution of these waters to independent entities such as
municipalities or private organizations, and the recreational

Voting Is A Right That All Americans
Voting is a right that all Americans have once hitting the age of 18 regardless of race, gender, or
financial status. However, not everyone chooses to exercise these rights or even fully understands
how to use them properly. Voting is not as simple as just going to a ballot box and checking the box
for the person whom had the most signs and television commercials. Being a voter means that one
has an influence over the government and who makes important decisions regarding the nation or
state. However, if one does not know all of the details about who they are voting for, they could be
voting blindly. It is important to do research and make factual decisions about who should be
elected. If one is not fully informed, than the less suitable candidate could be elected into office due
to a lack of information. All of the information necessary to make a strong decision is available, it
just depends on whether or not Americans go through the effort to locate it and use it. Voting for the
most desired and suitable candidate is important whether it is congressional district, senate, or
presidency.

Music has a big impact on my life, it is one of my favorite things in the world. My music library is
so diverse, so it is hard for me to pick my favorite genre, from hip hop to rock to country. I find it all
tasteful. If I had to say may favorite though it would be alternative rock, mostly because my favorite
band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their bass lines are amazing, and their music has so much heart
and emotion in it, it's something that everyone can jam along to. My least favorite would have to be
screamo, an off shoot of metal. It is just too angry and you cannot understand anything the singer is
saying, it isn't something that is easy for me to appreciate. The Hobbit is my favorite book, the ore

The Importance Of Cleaning The USPS Fort Worth
Often a refresh is the first step in advocating for a building's potential. "Cleaning a building shows
people that you care," said Sarah Holder. Both the actual and perceived value of the building is
raised. Hidden gems are exposed, as the architecture's best assets are revealed in a better light. And,
significantly, it is the exterior that is the first to impress, the first to send the message that a property
is worth the investment. Holder attributes this heightened perceived value as a the positive impact of
a "clean, smiling face."

make use of opportunities while they could. Even though that may be true for some, others didn't

Church Shooting
In a very tragic moment in the year 1999 It was said that a man named Larry Gene Ashbrook ran
into a church and started shooting. He was carrying a 9mm, and a 380–caliber handguns and a pipe
bomb. Larry killed 7people and himself after this and wounding 7 others. larry was being accused of
other crimes and he was said to be very violent to his father after his mother died nine years before
the shooting with all this on his shoulders it drove him mad and he wanted people to feel his pain of
being alone and accused of doing things he didn 't do.
Larry was a very violent man guy. Larry 's mother had passed away nine years before the shooting.
After that Larry got more violent. Larry's father had lived with him at the time and neighbors would
see him being violent to his father. In the months before the shooting, people who knew Ashbrook
say he became increasingly paranoid, certain that he was being framed for serial murder and other
crimes that he did not commit. Larry had also been afraid that the CIA were targeting him, and he
reported psychological warfare, assaults by co–workers and being drugged by the police. Just days
before the shooting he voiced these concerns to a newspaper, saying "I want someone to tell my
story, no one will listen to me; no one will believe me."(murderpedia)

1. Background information on Radio shack and CEO General wireless Operations, Inc. known as

of wireless and electronic stores. Theodore and Milton started the company with the aim of
providing an equipment for the then–nascent field of amateur, or ham radio, to supply the needs of
radio officers aboard ships as well as hams (amateur radio operators). RadioShack Corporation is
known as a leading consumer electronics retailer and they are based in Fort Worth, Texas operating
about 7,000 company owned and dealer stores, they are majorly into supply of electronics from
computers to cellphones, and they make them as well. In 1994, Leonard Roberts was the president
of RadioShack, David Edmondson wrote a letter to the president about his brilliant ideas, they both
had a good relationship along the line, Roberts agreed and offered him a job but the mistake
Leonard Roberts did was not investigating thoroughly about his academics career and achievement.

That is not a good precondition for being a responsible and exemplary top manager. When Mr.
Edmondson became the new CEO of the company, flat sales and lagging stock prices occurred. On
top of that, the RadioShack share prices were falling greatly right after the uncovering of his lies and
underhandednesses. He apologized for making those mistakes and in order to make an
improvement, the CEO's idea was to close a lot of stores. His behaviour violated the company's
ethics. The main value of the company is to be responsible so as to create an environment that
encourages employees to adapt the values of the company. He did not act according to the
company's slogan which shows that the management was not value–based. In general, Mr.
Edmondson just failed to meet the company's standards by his unscrupulous behaviour. He has a
lack of moral sense and the company does not permit or even encourage unethical practices. Top
managers are role models which means that they have to set an example to their employees
Although being socially responsible and ethical is a serious challenge nowadays, the company can
not tolerate his performance. Besides that, it is very important for a company to be successful and
Mr. Edmondson was not able to archive the goals. Therefore it was not such a tough decision as Len
Roberts suggested. He probably said that because at first the broad was sure about selecting him

The scientific name is Ateles geoffroyi. The spider monkeys found in the Fort Worth Zoo originated
from Alabama excluding one that originated from South Dakota. The total length of their bodies
including the head and tail is about 5ft long. These primates weigh roughly 13 to 25 lbs. The largest
spider monkey has an average weight of 24 lbs for males and 21.3 lbs for females. Size is the main
feature that one can use to distinguish between a male and a female. Their body colour ranges from
gold to red, brown, black and grey. The hands and limbs are commonly black. Their heads are lesser
with receding faces. The adenoids are spaced widely apart and hence a differentiating characteristic
of spider monkeys. Spider monkeys have a predatory tail which may be up to 89 cm (35 in) long
unlike the chimpanzees. Due to the lack of a thumb, the tail covers up for the thumb. This tail can be

across the state. These programs have contributed in varying degrees to mitigating the crisis of food
insecurity in the state (Children at Risk, 2016). However, progress in retention of beneficiaries and

The Tarrant County Courthouse : A Beautiful Structure Full...
The Tarrant County Courthouse is a beautiful structure full of historical importance that deserves to
be treasured. Tarrant County is the story of Indian battles, cattle drives, gunfights, and plantations.
Railroads and high–tech assembly lines all happened here. The mission of Tarrant County Historical
Commission is to "ensure that the story is saved, and savored for generations to come." The
commission meets regularly six times a year. Commissioners court, appoints two year terms.
Commissioners operate their own by–laws, and are in close association with the Texas Historical
Commission in Austin. "Tarrant County's businesses today reach around the globe and the county's
commercial and industrial airports are among the country's foremost international gateways."
Tarrant County was named after Edward H. Tarrant, a military commander, Texas Ranger, and an
Indian fighter who was the man responsible for the removal of most Indians who lived in the area.
In the 1870's, Tarrant County was in a period of prosperity and economic depression. Of course, the
cattle and railroads played a huge part of this decade. The trail drivers needed supplies and
entertainment and Tarrant County offered both. Between 1890 and 1917, the era of the long cattle
drives ended, with new developments such as the windmill, and more farmers moved into the area.
New farms started to appear, and crops were filled with cotton, corn, and wheat. Population of the

Since a good portion of Texas is a desert climate, the soil that is found there, is also an important
aspect. Dallas, located in the northeastern part of the state, has a variety of different types of soil.
The Gulf Coastal Plain is composed of red and yellow soils, which can be beneficial for the
vegetation if proper fertilizer is used (Escape to Texas). Moving more towards central Texas, it has
"soils based on weathered decayed limestone" (Escape to Texas). Much of the Dallas area has
grassland vegetation, which comes from Mollisol soils, which are rich in calcium and other nutrients
(Ritter). The intensely hot summers cause the soil to possess high moisture retention so as not to dry
up easily, but when they do become dry, they have a "granular structure and soft consistency"
(Ritter). A typical soil profile of this soil type would include "dark brown to black organic rich
surface layers" (Ritter). The soil in this area has been used to alter the landscapes, and recently have
been used for "cropland and pasture to grow cotton, corn, sorghum, wheat, hay, and other crops"
(Physical Features Influencing Vegetation in Texas). The soil of Dallas is the base for the landforms
that are present in this certain area. Texas as a whole encompasses several landforms, ranging from

The Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex
Introduction
The Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex is a great place for business. It is home to multiple companies and
their corporate headquarters – and with an international airport, open trade routes, multiple
universities and academic institutions – it proves to be the perfect location for businesses and
professionals alike. One such company that is headquartered in Plano, TX, and is an example of a
thriving organization in the area, is the Dr Pepper Snapple Group. A mostly domestic company, with
most of its business located in North American and Mexico, the DPS Group is a manufacturer of
nonalcoholic beverages in the beverage industry and is third in overall market share (after Coca–
Cola and Pepsico). The beverage industry is steady and growing, but the nonalcoholic beverage
portion of the industry is facing many challenges with carbonated soft drinks declining in sales due
to a more health–conscious population. Analyzing the DPS Group and how they are dealing with
these challenges was very interesting, as I have always been a Dr Pepper fan and would hate to see
them go out of business or die out in the market. I have known people who have worked for the
company and loved it, and I hope to work for them someday as well. I collected my research on the
company through their website, articles and journals, and my own knowledge of the company and
research into the company history through a visit to the Dr Pepper museum.

Analysis Of Angelina County Shared Cultural Ties With...
The stats mentioned above demonstrate that a significant number of non–slaveowners resides in
Angelina. Due to the lack of financial resources to purchase slaves, they relied on their own labors
to sustain a livelihood for their homestead creating a different economy not associated with the
plantation system. The large population of non–slaveholders, "small" farms, translates to economic
and political power within this county. McCaslin argues that since the slave population had declined
to less than half of the regional average the propaganda tactics utilized in the other counties had
little effect on this county. Voters instead listened to attorney James W. Guinn chooses "to follow the
'voice of reason,' rather than that of anarchy." Although Angelina County shared cultural ties with
other Gulf southerners they "acted within the parameters set by their environment and by their

need to study the "environment and economics, that shape political allegiances." The recent study of
these Northern counties, John R. Lundberg's article, disputes the prominent narrative for why the

This influence and style continued at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth Texas. Louis Kahn is a

(Kimball, 1990). Kahn created a building for the Kimbell Art Museum that also complimented the
art and did not distract the viewer (Kimball, 1990). He was commissioned to design the Kimbell Art
Museum from 1966–1972). "Kahn's museums are individual to the point of idiosyncrasy, yet they
remain transparent to the works of the art they house (Kimball, 1990)." The Yale University Art
Gallery, designed by Kahn, has an intimate studio feel as employed at the Museum of Modern Art
(Binns, 2004 p. 17). Kahn also utilized similar materials that Goodwin and Stone incorporated. The
Yale University Art Gallery is made of large pieces of glass and steel (Binns, 2004, p. 17). Many of

actions, "no one has attempted to synthesize these works and write a history of secession for the

and political ideologies) of those found in Texas compared to the attributes found in the Upper and

found in Texas. Radical separatists, a small group wanting to secede immediately, shared the Lower
South culture and ideology of defending Southern rights. They believe the responsibility of the
nation centers on protecting "the rights and property of the individuals." Moderate secessionists

Fort Worth Opera Research Paper

  • 1. Fort Worth Opera Research Paper Opera is a timeless music that transcends the generations. I would like to go out on a limb, and suggest that the average young person does not really give much thought to opera. However, it is a music that will last much longer than the popular tunes that they listen to on their music player today. The great thing about going to the opera is the opportunity to experience classical music at its best. Actually, there is something very soothing and seductive about pure classical music set to a stage filled with actors acting out the human condition in some form. One of the perks concerning living in the Fort Worth area is the number of wonderful opera performances that are available to the general public. Fort Worth Opera There are a number ...

  • 3. Trinity River Authority: A Case Study The need for water in all of society is of the upmost importance in order for humankind to survive. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) states that the Earth's surface is made up of about 70% water and only 3.5% of the water is fresh water suitable to consume (Perlman, 2013). In order to have the resource of water that society needs, companies such as the Trinity River Authority (TRA) are formed in different communities around the globe. Water supply and reclamation companies range in size and structure from public to privately owned and run. Organizational Overview The TRA is a public organization that is located in the Trinity River Basin in North Central Texas. The Trinity River Basin is made up of either the entire or portions of 17 counties which include: Tarrant, Dallas, Ellis, Kaufman, Navarro, Henderson, Freestone, Anderson, Leon, Houston, Madison, Walker, Trinity, Polk, San Jacinto, Liberty, and Chambers. In 1954 the 54th Legislature of Texas created the TRA after the political push from the citizens' group, Trinity Improvement Association (Trinity River Authority, 2013). The TRA is a government owned corporation that provides the public with fresh water and the reclaiming processes for multiple municipalities. The duties and functions of the organization involve wastewater treatment, water storage in the form of reservoirs, the distribution of these waters to independent entities such as municipalities or private organizations, and the recreational ...

  • 5. Voting Is A Right That All Americans Voting is a right that all Americans have once hitting the age of 18 regardless of race, gender, or financial status. However, not everyone chooses to exercise these rights or even fully understands how to use them properly. Voting is not as simple as just going to a ballot box and checking the box for the person whom had the most signs and television commercials. Being a voter means that one has an influence over the government and who makes important decisions regarding the nation or state. However, if one does not know all of the details about who they are voting for, they could be voting blindly. It is important to do research and make factual decisions about who should be elected. If one is not fully informed, than the less suitable candidate could be elected into office due to a lack of information. All of the information necessary to make a strong decision is available, it just depends on whether or not Americans go through the effort to locate it and use it. Voting for the most desired and suitable candidate is important whether it is congressional district, senate, or presidency. Texas District 12 Texas is a giant state with an equally big past. It began as an old western state before rapidly becoming one of the most populated states and housing major cities. Fort Worth is one of the biggest major cities in Texas, and is the 16th largest in the nation. Fort Worth is where congressional district 12 is located.

Cowtown Argumentative Essay As we were driving down Main Street, we felt the sudden change from the smooth pavement to historic brick road as the Uber rolled to a stop onto the corner of Exchange and Main. As we exited the Uber, we were immediately surrounded with an overwhelming aroma of food, cattle, and fresh air. As we took a look around, we felt completely out of place as two out–of–state college students in our oversized t–shirts and sneakers. Tourists, college students, and locals roamed the streets and occupied the famous restaurants. What once was known as "Cowtown" or more formally the Union Stockyards Company, is now a home to the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District.

Amongst the fun atmosphere for people of all ages and from various different origins, the Fort Worth Stockyards are home to some of Texas' finest attractions, especially barbeque and Tex–Mex restaurants. The area as a whole, specifically restaurants, provides a community feel and makes all of the diverse individuals feel right at home on Exchange Avenue. It is evident how popular the Stockyards are to both locals and tourists. Like the Kardashian's, it is easy to point out when someone is not from Texas and they are trying to embrace the Texan culture. One visit to the Stockyards will give you a sense of what Texas culture is all about.

Keller had a population close to 40,000 people by the time I left for Texas A&M, but when I first arrived there the population was only about 20,000 people. It is a growing town with a ton of commodities and things to do, new activities are always popping up, such as the new movie theater that was just built 5 miles away from my house. Being part of the suburbs of Fort Worth, it is mostly organized in housing developments, with shopping centers scattered around.

My music library is so diverse, so it is hard for me to pick my favorite genre, from hip hop to rock to country. I find it all tasteful. If I had to say may favorite though it would be alternative rock, mostly because my favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their bass lines are amazing, and their music has so much heart and emotion in it, it's something that everyone can jam along to. My least favorite would have to be screamo, an off shoot of metal. It is just too angry and you cannot understand anything the singer is saying, it isn't something that is easy for me to appreciate. The Hobbit is my favorite book, the ore behind it keeps me interested and the way it is written is a completely different style than today's writing. The writing style almost seems archaic but it has an elegance to it that is extremely difficult to achieve. My upperclassmen are the heroes in my life right now. Being in the Corps of Cadets at A&M can be difficult sometimes, and without them motivating me and supporting me, I don't believe I would be able to complete half of the tasks that I have completed.

  • 11. The Importance Of Cleaning The USPS Fort Worth Often a refresh is the first step in advocating for a building's potential. "Cleaning a building shows people that you care," said Sarah Holder. Both the actual and perceived value of the building is raised. Hidden gems are exposed, as the architecture's best assets are revealed in a better light. And, significantly, it is the exterior that is the first to impress, the first to send the message that a property is worth the investment. Holder attributes this heightened perceived value as a the positive impact of a "clean, smiling face." "PROSOCO got that it wasn't about exactly replicating [the original appearance] but, rather, making a noticeable difference, a homage." – Steve Elliott, AIA, Director, BRW Architects Cleaning the USPS ...

Collaborating with Architectural Restoration Experts [architect's credit] Although PROSOCO is a national firm, we have a strong network of technical field staff, which allows the company to work with local teams on regional projects. Teaming with Dallas based Brown Reynolds Watford Architects (BRW) on USPS Fort Worth was a privilege, as well as another opportunity to work with regional experts. For more than 30 years, BRW has been focused on enhancing the built environment through responsible architecture and innovative design. The firm is renowned for its creative design solutions that work with the natural context and history of each site. BRW considers both the cultural and practical values of older buildings and examines why preservation can be beneficial to both a community's culture and the local economy. It was exactly this shared sensibility that made our work together in Fort Worth so satisfying.

  • 16. Homeless Organization Some people might think that the people living on the streets don't have a home because they didn't make use of opportunities while they could. Even though that may be true for some, others didn't have the best childhood and didn't have the money to go to school and be successful. I am here to give them a second chance and renew themselves. I am creating an organization to build tiny homes for the homeless. I have done some research about different tiny homes communities. There are several in the US that have wanted to house the homeless, but none have specifically wanted to create an organization and expand. One is located in Austin, Texas and they serve the homeless food with a food truck. My goal is to be able to expand from Texas and go into surrounding states as well. There are roughly 565,000 homeless people in the US that need our help, 20,000 of those are located in Texas. If you have ever been to the Dallas Fort Worth area, you have probably seen some around the streets. Texas has tons of acres of empty land that we can make these communities on and transport the homeless to these houses to get a fresh start. Speaking of the ...

My solution is to spread the word about the organization by putting out flyers, maybe asking the newspaper to put an ad in, and making a website to gain awareness and to spread the word everywhere not just in our small town. Sponsors don't have to be just big companies; it can be locals who want to support us. I was thinking we should have a donation box where you can donate supplies, furniture, appliances, and even toys and clothes for the kids. Getting furniture and appliances will cut the cost of the house tremendously. The big sponsors I would love to have would be Lowe's and Home Depot.

Larry killed 7people and himself after this and wounding 7 others. larry was being accused of other crimes and he was said to be very violent to his father after his mother died nine years before the shooting with all this on his shoulders it drove him mad and he wanted people to feel his pain of being alone and accused of doing things he didn 't do. Larry was a very violent man guy. Larry 's mother had passed away nine years before the shooting. After that Larry got more violent. Larry's father had lived with him at the time and neighbors would see him being violent to his father. In the months before the shooting, people who knew Ashbrook say he became increasingly paranoid, certain that he was being framed for serial murder and other crimes that he did not commit. Larry had also been afraid that the CIA were targeting him, and he reported psychological warfare, assaults by co–workers and being drugged by the police. Just days before the shooting he voiced these concerns to a newspaper, saying "I want someone to tell my story, no one will listen to me; no one will believe me."(murderpedia) Larry gene ...

Background information on Radio shack and CEO General wireless Operations, Inc. known as RadioShack, was founded in 1921 in Boston by two brothers and it is known as an American chain of wireless and electronic stores. Theodore and Milton started the company with the aim of providing an equipment for the then–nascent field of amateur, or ham radio, to supply the needs of radio officers aboard ships as well as hams (amateur radio operators).

In 1994, Leonard Roberts was the president of RadioShack, David Edmondson wrote a letter to the president about his brilliant ideas, they both had a good relationship along the line, Roberts agreed and offered him a job but the mistake Leonard Roberts did was not investigating thoroughly about his academics career and achievement.

In this case we were introduced in a true story of RadioShack Corporate Company. The story is about company's CEO David Edmondson and his fall as a chairman of it. He lied about his educational background that helped him to take the CEO–seat from Len Roberts. One of the first signs was marked from the newspaper "The Fort Worth Star Telegram" who reported a huge article for him. After his hiring as a new CEO the company lost its positions and the result was that share price dropped to a 3 year low level. Mr. David Edmondson neglects the Company ethics and than he was fired. The strange ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... That is not a good precondition for being a responsible and exemplary top manager. When Mr. Edmondson became the new CEO of the company, flat sales and lagging stock prices occurred. On top of that, the RadioShack share prices were falling greatly right after the uncovering of his lies and underhandednesses. He apologized for making those mistakes and in order to make an improvement, the CEO's idea was to close a lot of stores. His behaviour violated the company's ethics. The main value of the company is to be responsible so as to create an environment that encourages employees to adapt the values of the company. He did not act according to the company's slogan which shows that the management was not value–based. In general, Mr. Edmondson just failed to meet the company's standards by his unscrupulous behaviour. He has a lack of moral sense and the company does not permit or even encourage unethical practices. Top managers are role models which means that they have to set an example to their employees Although being socially responsible and ethical is a serious challenge nowadays, the company can not tolerate his performance. Besides that, it is very important for a company to be successful and Mr. Edmondson was not able to archive the goals. Therefore it was not such a tough decision as Len Roberts suggested.

Their heads are lesser with receding faces. The adenoids are spaced widely apart and hence a differentiating characteristic of spider monkeys.

Commissioners court, appoints two year terms. Commissioners operate their own by–laws, and are in close association with the Texas Historical Commission in Austin.

Dallas, located in the northeastern part of the state, has a variety of different types of soil. The Gulf Coastal Plain is composed of red and yellow soils, which can be beneficial for the vegetation if proper fertilizer is used (Escape to Texas). Moving more towards central Texas, it has "soils based on weathered decayed limestone" (Escape to Texas). Much of the Dallas area has grassland vegetation, which comes from Mollisol soils, which are rich in calcium and other nutrients (Ritter). The intensely hot summers cause the soil to possess high moisture retention so as not to dry up easily, but when they do become dry, they have a "granular structure and soft consistency" (Ritter). A typical soil profile of this soil type would include "dark brown to black organic rich surface layers" (Ritter).

It is home to multiple companies and their corporate headquarters – and with an international airport, open trade routes, multiple universities and academic institutions – it proves to be the perfect location for businesses and professionals alike. One such company that is headquartered in Plano, TX, and is an example of a thriving organization in the area, is the Dr Pepper Snapple Group. A mostly domestic company, with most of its business located in North American and Mexico, the DPS Group is a manufacturer of nonalcoholic beverages in the beverage industry and is third in overall market share (after Coca– Cola and Pepsico). The beverage industry is steady and growing, but the nonalcoholic beverage portion of the industry is facing many challenges with carbonated soft drinks declining in sales due to a more health–conscious population.

Due to the lack of financial resources to purchase slaves, they relied on their own labors to sustain a livelihood for their homestead creating a different economy not associated with the plantation system. The large population of non–slaveholders, "small" farms, translates to economic and political power within this county. McCaslin argues that since the slave population had declined to less than half of the regional average the propaganda tactics utilized in the other counties had little effect on this county. Voters instead listened to attorney James W. Guinn chooses "to follow the 'voice of reason,' rather than that of anarchy." Although Angelina County shared cultural ties with other Gulf southerners they "acted within the parameters set by their environment and by their economic system." Finally, McCaslin challenges scholars seeking understanding of Unionism they need to study the "environment and economics, that shape political allegiances." The recent study of these Northern counties, John R. Lundberg's article, disputes the prominent narrative for why the North Texas counties voted against secession during the secession referendum.

Kahn emerged from the Beaux–Arts movement but became one of the foremost American Modernist architects of the 1950's and 60's (Kimball, 1990). Kahn created a building for the Kimbell Art Museum that also complimented the art and did not distract the viewer (Kimball, 1990). He was commissioned to design the Kimbell Art Museum from 1966–1972).

Buenger's article, "Secession Revisited: The Texas Experience." Buenger argues there exists an extensive amount of studies on secession, but the focus of these studies centers on individual states actions, "no one has attempted to synthesize these works and write a history of secession for the entire South." He asserts that Texas could serve as a model if someone conducted a synthesize study of secession for the entire South. Buenger supports this claim utilizing Terry Jordan study previously mentioned above study on "Upper and Lower South," by outlining the attributes (culture, economic, and political ideologies) of those found in Texas compared to the attributes found in the Upper and Lower Southern states. Key to his analysis is his detailed description of the four political factions' found in Texas. Radical separatists, a small group wanting to secede immediately, shared the Lower South culture and ideology of defending Southern rights. They believe the responsibility of the nation centers on protecting "the rights and property of the individuals." Moderate secessionists shared the Lower South Democratic party characteristics, of the "slaveholding and cotton growing culture." These moderates' also included some wheat growers from the Upper South and Germans living in close proximity to the cotton growers that supported secession. Moderate unionists shared ...

Not only will these bridges join together two parts of Dallas, but it will also help to ease traffic along the busy highways of this city. The river will also be transformed into an area where different recreational activities will be held. The West Dallas Lake is long enough that boating, both competitive and recreational, can be held there for all people.
