...WADING THROUGH THE WASTE: A LOOK INTO THE FAILURE Wading Through the Waste: A look into the failure of American landfills and how plasma gasification can fix it Joshua A. Valdez ITT-Tech Jacksonville, Fl GE117 Chambers Abstract America, a “throw away” society, is facing a tragic consequence of its lifestyle. Even with increased recycling efforts Americans are running out of space to put their trash. With stricter regulations and public policies, the number of landfills has significantly dropped; replaced by what are called “megafills.” Although safer, since the EPA’s introduction of strict regulations in 1988, environmental dangers still exist. That danger, amplified with the high operation costs of landfills, an alternative disposal method is needed. Plasma Gasification provides a cleaner and more efficient way of disposing waste while having the added benefit of producing energy. Wading Through the Waste: A look into the failure of American landfills and how plasma gasification can fix it “Did you know that the average person produces three pounds of trash a day? I would really like to know where it all goes,” a woman asks her therapist in the 1989 movie Sex, Lies, and Videotapes. Since 1989 our trash production has increased to 4.6 pounds per individual, based on a 2007 EPA study. (EPA, 2012) America, a “throw away” society, is facing a tragic consequence of its lifestyle. Even with increased recycling efforts, Americans are running out of space...

...BUSINESS NOVEMBER 23, 2010 The Just-in-Time Consumer By ELLEN BYRON Julia Robinson for The Wall Street Journal Rebecca Seabern in her destocked pantry. She is using groceries that she already has before buying more. Executives peddling wares from canned goods to cashmere say the shift in consumption habits is prompting them to change how they produce, package, price and deliver their goods. When the economy sank two years ago, Rebecca Seabern realized she could shrink her grocery bill just by eating into her crammed kitchen pantry. "I had eight boxes of lasagna in there and a year's worth of paper towels," says Ms. Seabern, a 31-year-old accountant and married mother of two in San Antonio. Today, Ms. Seabern still has her job, but her antipathy to hoarding hasn't changed. "I've stopped purchasing things just to have them on hand," she says, preferring to make bigger mortgage payments instead. The Great Depression replaced a spendthrift culture with a generation of frugal savers. The recent recession, too, has left in its wake a deeply changed shopper: the just-in-time consumer. Access thousands of business sources not available on the free web. Learn More For over two decades, Americans bought big, bought more and stocked up, confident that bulk shopping, often on credit, provided the best value for their money. But the long recession—with its high unemployment, plummeting home values and depleted savings accounts—altered the way many people think about the future...

...Enterprise Cloud Computing: The future of enterprise networking Justin Winter American Military University The term “cloud computing” is one of many new buzzwords in the technology world. Unfortunately as buzzwords go they tend to become obsequious and as a result of this obsequiousness, the term “cloud computing” is so broad that it can encompass anything from online storage products like Dropbox to entire online enterprise solutions provided by Amazon Web Services. While the term cloud computing may be obsequious, there is a reason IBM recently invested $3 billion to further research and development to benefit cloud computing and big data. ("IT Digest") Enterprise cloud networking is a relatively new technology, yet it is already available in multiple favors. For instance Amazon Web Services offers complete cloud solutions for anything from personal website and database solutions to full corporate solutions that range from simple storage solutions to user defined security groups. On the other hand, components provided by Cisco's Meraki division, offer complete network management as an easily accessible web based tool. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which is a part of the U.S. Department of Commerce defines Cloud Computing as “a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned...

...The Jobs family Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in the city of San Francisco. His Biological mother was an unwed graduate student named Joanne Simpson, and his biological father was either a political science or mathematics professor, a native Syrian named Abdulfattah John Jandali. In 1950s, the baby was put up for adoption. Joanne had a college education, and she insisted that the future parents of her boy be just as well educated. Unfortunately, the candidates, Paul and Clara Jobs, did not meet her expectations: they were a lower-middle class couple that had settled in the Bay Area after the war. Paul was a machinist from the Midwest who had not even graduated from high school. In the end, Joanne agreed to have her baby adopted by them. Paul and Clara called their new son Steven Paul. While Steve was still a toddler, the couple moved to the Santa Clara County, later to be known as Silicon Valley. They adopted another baby, a girl called Patti, three years later in 1958. Childhood Steve was quite a turbulent child. He really didn’t care about school for some time — until he reached the 4th grade, and had Imogene “Teddy” Hill as a teacher. She did bribe him, with candy and $5 bills from her own money. He quickly became hooked — so much so that he skipped the 5th grade and went straight to middle school, namely Crittenden Middle School. It was in a poor area. Most kids did not work much there, they were rather fond of bullying other kids, such as the young Steve....

...employees had descended on the company’s multi-building campus to help process and pack gifts ordered by tens of thousands of customers for delivery to their sweethearts for Valentine’s Day. Bob and his seven person IT organization had worked feverishly behind the scenes, ensuring that the company’s information systems could handle the surge in orders for pajamas, custom teddy bears, flowers and other gifts, placed via telephone, mail-order, and the Web. There were a few tense moments when the system - comprising a mix of homegrown and packaged applications from a variety of vendors, and knit together with middleware - occasionally ‘paused’ when its capacity was strained. Fortunately, his team - veterans of past Valentine’s Day ‘peak experiences’ - helped patch things together and ensured that nearly all orders were processed and delivered on time. Recognizing that customer retention was an important goal, Stetzel was relieved that most customers were happy with the service they received during the Valentine’s rush. Stetzel had been hired in November 2009 - just in time for a Christmas rush which included several tense moments as the systems struggled to handle a surge in orders. He hoped that before winter 2011 rolled around, his team could tame the complicated middleware and make progress toward an efficient, well-organized enterprise IT architecture that could serve as a robust platform for the company’s changing business requirements and support their...

...Topic Eight: Direct Deposit and Payroll Cards Course Manual for Payroll Practice and Management Online Series 2010 All rights reserved Author: Vicki M. Lambert, CPP Vicki M. Lambert, LLC Introduction Direct deposit is an application of the system known as Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). This is a system by which commercial payments are made electronically instead of using paper instruments such as checks or drafts. Direct deposit of an employee's wages is extremely popular among employers and employees alike. Employer save money by eliminating the cost of printing checks and replacing lost checks, and the employee also saves time and money by not having to stand in line to make a bank deposit. In addition, many banks give free checking if the paycheck is direct deposited. More and more employers are establishing direct deposit programs under which the net check is deposited directly into an employee's personal checking or savings ac- count. Some employer programs involve direct deposit only to employee accounts at the financial institution where the employer maintains its payroll account. This is known as an "Intra Bank" option. However, an increasing number of direct deposit programs make use of a nationwide network of automated clearing houses (ACHs) that enables the employer to make payroll deposits into accounts maintained by employees at almost any financial institution in the country. Advantages of Direct Deposit Benefits for the employer include: Cost Savings:...

Introduction This course introduces students to a range of research techniques that are currently used in criminology and criminal justice. Course materials deal with the practical aspects of research. Discussions of research techniques are embedded in principles drawn from the philosophy of science and cover such research issues as the relationship between theory and data, the logic of inference, causality, sampling, and data collection. Research methods are defined as all the conventional and systematic steps involved in empirical study. For this reason, this is not a course in statistics, research design, or theory, but we will draw on information from all of these areas in evaluative reviews of a sample of the literature. The minimal goal of the course is to enhance students’ methodological literacy--that is, their ability to read and understand social scientific research. Discussions of research designs should also aid students in planning and conducting research. 1 Course Objectives Acquaint students with...
