...In the cases of D'Allesandro v. Brumbaugh (2008) and K.P. v. State (2013); both cases involved the search for a weapon within a backpack. Both cases involved a tip that named a specific student who was in possession of a weapon in their backpacks. In regards to K.P. v. State the possible threat of a student carrying a firearm on school grounds and the tip contained indicia of reliability, the Fourth Amendment privacy for that student was diminished due to these circumstances forming reasonable suspension. Another case involved a seventeen year old high school student who was asked to empty her pockets when the principal approached and noticed that she and two of her classmates were trying to hide an unknown substance. Upon empting her pocket she pulled out marijuana. The lower appellate court reversed the initial ruling in the trial court that had denied the students motion...

...USED ENGINE OIL AS SIGN PEN INK COMPONENT 1 Potential of Used Engine Oil as an Additive Component for Sign Pen Ink An Investigatory Project Presented to the Faculty of Science and English Area In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements in Science and Technology 10 and English 10 Benitez, Danielle C. Cartagena, Roland L. Florentino, Mikhael C. Medina, Alexandra Marie P. Peñaflorida, Andrea Raecristine F. G10 – Our Lady of the Assumption December 10, 2014 USED ENGINE OIL AS SIGN PEN INK COMPONENT 2 Abstract This research’s sole purpose is to find an ideal alternative for sign pen ink. Specifically, it aimed to experiment upon the concept of whether or not used engine oil (UEO) can be used as a suitable component for sign pen ink. In doing so, the researchers have conducted a test that makes use of varying amounts of two main ingredients, namely,UEO and pounded charcoal. Throughout the course of the experiment, three types of ink were produced with the compositions of: 70% UEO and 30% powdered charcoal (Ink A), 80% UEO and 20% powdered charcoal (Ink B), and lastly 100% UEO and no charcoal (Ink C). Ink A was recorded to have the highest tone quality and highest viscosity, which was proven through the chromatography test. Ink B was found to be second highest in terms of both tone quality and viscosity, while Ink C exhibited the lowest tone quality and lowest viscosity level. Tone quality was recorded by testing the pens for writing, and viscosity level...

...Shear Box Report Abstract This repot describes the Shear Box test based on two types of soil that are loose soil and dense soil. The test has shown that the use of dry river sand under different densities to underestimate the shear strength parameters, the soil cohesion and the angle of friction with regard to the relationship between soil density and shear strength. Introduction The aim of the Shear box test was to determine the shear strength of sand using the shear box teat, and to investigate the effect of soil density on the strength. The shear strength of a soil is its resistance to shearing stresses. It is a measure of the soil resistance to deformation by continuous displacement of its individual soil particles. To investigate more about the behavior of the soil, a Mohr-coulomb theory has been introduced. This theory states that a material fails because of a critical combination of normal stress and shear stress, and not from their either maximum normal or shear stress alone. the limiting shear stress( the shear strength, t) that may be applied to any plane in the soil mass is found to be given by an equation of the form： τ = c + σ tan(φ) where σ = normal stress on the failure plane φ = angle of friction c = (apparent) cohesion The parameters C and φ are not generally soil constants. They also depended on the use of total or effective stresses. In terms of effective stress the failure criterion is written: τ = σ' tan(φ') + c' ...

...Facts D & C Builders Ltd was a two man building firm run by Mr Donaldson and Mr Casey. They had done work for Mr Rees at 218 Brick Lane, London E1, coming to £732. Mr Rees had only paid £250. £482 was owing. D&C were facing bankruptcy if they were not paid. Mrs Rees phoned up to complain that the work was bad, and refused to pay more than £300. D&C reluctantly accepted and took a receipt marked ‘in completion of account’. After that, they consulted their solicitors and sued for the balance. [edit] Judgment Lord Denning MR held that the doctrine of part payment of a debt not discharging the whole ‘has come under heavy fire’ but noted that estoppel, deriving from the principle laid down in Hughes v Metropolitan Railway Co. could give relief in equity. Although in his opinion part payment of debt could satisfy a whole debt, he found that Mrs Rees had effectively held the builders to ransom. Therefore any variation of the original agreement was voidable at the instance of the debtors for duress. “ In point of law payment of a lesser sum, whether by cash or by cheque, is no discharge of a greater sum. This doctrine of the common law came under heavy fire. It was ridiculed by Sir George Jessel in Couldery v Bartram.[1] It was said to be mistaken by Lord Blackburn in Foakes v Beer.[2] It was condemned by the Law Revision Committee (1945 Cmd 5449), paras. 20 and 21 . But a remedy has been found. The harshness of the common law has been relieved. Equity has stretched out a merciful...

...study. Impression management, in the context of an interview, can be broadly classified into three categories [2] as given below in figure 1.1 Figure 1.1: Chris Provis’ typology of impression management In the first case–IM as a tactic of influence, impression management can be broadly seen as one’s ‘attempts to convey an impression of oneself that the audience will regard favourably’ (Baumeister 1989: 59; more recently, see Lopes & Fletcher 2004, Weiss & Feldman 2006). According to majority of authors, this case presents little ambiguity related to ethicality of impression management–most of it lying within the domain of ethical impression management. A simple case of leaving books on a particular topic strewn around in office to indicate competence in the particular area would broadly fall in this category (only if the competence is genuine). The second case i.e. presenting of same facts in a different manner present a little more ambiguity. While it sometimes borders on ‘framing’, majority of times it is about presenting an alternate viewpoint on the same point–something like a glass half-full rather than half-empty. Consider an interviewer asking a technical question and the interviewee not knowing the answer. The interviewee gives partial answer with a cover up that his knowledge is not complete but that he is a quick learner and would be able to grasp new things quickly on the job. Few would call this unethical impression management. Where this gets into the unethical domain...

...how they’d feel about the situation and/or themselves in each situation. Before the study, there is a page giving an overview of the study as well as guidelines, inviting anyone over eighteen years of age who used English as their first language to take part. There is a consent form at the beginning of the survey that participants are directed to before the study begins. This study looks at the link between the participant’s current feelings and thoughts about themselves in relation to difficult life experiences. This subject matter is touched on throughout the text – it is examples of nature-nurture when life events influence our behavior (nurture). This study looks more specifically at life events and their effects (p.395-396) in regard to self esteem and, more accurately, self concept. (Defined p.395) Overall, the survey was clearly explained and well executed. Before beginning this survey it assured complete privacy and anonymity. It also warned that focusing on negative life events could cause emotional discomfort. Upon completion it reiterated that focusing on negative life events could cause emotional discomfort, usually short lived and temporary. In the event that more serious emotional distress was caused the site encouraged participants to call their doctor and also provided many websites to provide emotional support and information. There is contact information for the researcher, Claire Jones, and Dr Anke Karl of University of Exeter-School of Psychology...
