Forensics branch out into a variety of fields. However, this particular article was based on crime scene reconstruction. Crime scene reconstruction uses scientific method, physical evidence, and deductive reasoning and their interrelationships to acquire detailed knowledge to the events that might have led up to the crime and what happened at the crime scene.
When focusing on other types of forensics, there are three areas of importance in finding the answers and determining the components of a crime scene. They are: specific incident reconstruction, event reconstruction, and the most important type, physical evidence reconstruction. Specific incident reconstruction deals with traffic accidents, bombings, homicides, and things of that nature. Specific event reconstruction looks at connections, sequence, and identity. Specific physical evidence focuses on firarms, blood, glass, and other objects that can be stripped for finger prints and other DNA. It is important to reconstruct a crime scene because if one has no knowledge as to what took place and how it took place, they lack the ability to figure out who did it and the reason for their actions.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism can be defined in so many ways. In a summary, plagiarism is simply taking credit for others ideas, words, or work as if they are yours. Many may wonder, how can I use information or ideas of another individual and it not be considered as plagiarism? If a student decides to use words or ideas that someone else came up with they can use quotation marks and cite where they retrieved this information. Give credit where credit is due. Plagiarism can be placed into several categories. They are: cyber-plagiarism, self-plagiarism, unconscious plagiarism, and intentional and unintentional plagiarism. The bad thing about all the different types of plagiarism is that you can be unaware of the fact that you are plagiarizing information; especially when dealing with self -plagiarism.

First Blog: "Get To Know Me" Questions
I consider myself an open-minded person, but my deal breakers are selfishness, conceit, and dishonety. I like to have my own intrepretations of people and things. I view a lot of situations differently. However, the three characteristics above are aggravating to me. Most people who are selfish can not grow or mature mentally or emotionally as an individual. These people usually find themselves needing others before others need them. Also, I do not like the idea of people thinking that they are better than the next person. We do not know the situation that individual is facing or their background. Lastly, I have a low tolerance for dishonesty. Not only is lieing a sin, it is tasteless. No one likes or deserves to be lied to in any situation. Selfishness, conceit, and dishonesty are three things that will cause others to distance themselves from you.
Something I learned from the last person I dated is to never get attached. I am not a big risk taker. Therefore, I chose not to get attached to him because I couldn't risk my heart being shattered and my feelings being crushed. Although this was a terrible situation, I was able to use it as a tool to build me up and see it as a lesson learned. Everything definitely happens for a reason whether it is for the better or worse.
It's Sunday morning at 10 a.m., if I'm not still sleeping, I'm at church. Actually, every Sunday I go to church around 8:30 a.m. and I do not leave until 12:30. During that time, I am attending Sunday school and Sunday morning worship service. Sunday is not a "sleep-in" day for me. Everytime there's an opportunity to assemble, I want to be apart.
When I die, I believe I will go to a place where there are no more worries. All pain and suffering will be ceased. Everyday will be like Sunday. I will be filled with joy and excitment. Sorrowless. I will rejoice forever. This place that will be home to many is heaven.
Something people keep buying me for gifts and I never use is...
I am very appreciative of the gifts I receive. However, one repetitve gift that I do not use is scented lotions. It's not because I don't like the fragance but because I have sensitive skin and I can't use some of those products. People think they can't fail with a gift like that.
One sport I will never get is probably football. I try to focus while attending games, but it just doesn't seem to keep my attention long enough for me to grasp the concepts. I hardly ever know what is going on.
When I was a kid, I owned a Barbie car. I loved it. At the time, it was a big deal to many young girls my age. I drove in the driveway all the time because that is one of the few places that my mom permitted. Whenever people came over to visit, I offered them a ride!
