...Warehouse by Ed Acker Steven Winter Associates, Inc. Last updated: 04-23-2008 Overview Warehouses, defined here, are facilities that provide a proper environment for the purpose of storing goods and materials that require protection from the elements. Warehouses must be designed to accommodate the loads of the materials to be stored, the associated handling equipment, the receiving and shipping operations and associated trucking, and the needs of the operating personnel. The design of the warehouse space should be planned to best accommodate business service requirements and the products to be stored/handled. The economics of modern commercial warehouses dictate that goods are processed in minimal turnaround time. The different types of warehouses include: * Heated and unheated general warehouses—provide space for bulk, rack, and bin storage, aisle space, receiving and shipping space, packing and crating space, and office and toilet space; * Refrigerated warehouses—preserve the quality of perishable goods and general supply materials that require refrigeration. Includes freeze and chill space, processing facilities, and mechanical areas; and * Controlled humidity (CH) warehouses—similar to general warehouses except that they are constructed with vapor barriers and contain humidity control equipment to maintain humidity at desired levels. Special-designed warehouses meeting strict requirements can also provide liquid storage (fuel and nonpropellants), flammable...

...Comparison Essay - “Our Love Now” and Sonnet 130 “Our Love Now”, is a modern poem by Martyn Lowery regarding a diminishing relationship whereas Sonnet 130, written by William Shakespeare in the 17th century is a declaration of love. Shakespeare portrays his poem from a single, male viewpoint; this is perhaps because of the patriarchal society he lived in. However “Our Love Now” is depicted from two perspectives, a male and a female, this could be because of the changes in society between the two eras. A clearly defined structure is apparent in both poems. However, “our love now” is structured as a conversation or dispute, with four original arguments (a male voice) and four counter-arguments (the female voice). All of the counter-arguments ends with, ‘such is our love now’ except the final one which concludes ‘such is our love’ as if their love is no more! There are two ways that you could digest this poem, the reader could follow all instances of the male voice first and then the female voice or you could read it as a conversation. Sonnet 130 is in the usual style of a sonnet, one long verse where every other line rhymes, except the final two lines which forms a rhyming couplet. The opening section appears to be insulting his mistress, but the concluding couplet changes the entire meaning. In each line, Shakespeare introduces a new trait of his mistress; this creates the effect of an expanding and developing argument, which is then contradicted by the last couplet...

...CHO Loading and Female Cyclists 1 Running head: CHO LOADING AND FEMALE CYCLISTS The Effectiveness of CHO Loading in Female Cyclists PRF 810 Thesis Paper Christopher S. Burt CHO Loading and Female Cyclists 2 The Effectiveness of CHO Loading in Female Cyclists Carbohydrate [CHO] loading is the intentional ingestion of above normal amounts of carbohydrate to increase muscle glycogen stores prior to physical activity. This method is often used by elite athletes to improve their performance. With respect to cyclists, the increase in performance is measured experimentally as a decrease in time to complete a race or time trial, an increase time to fatigue, and by decreased power output. There is no singular method for CHO loading. The “first” standard protocol for CHO loading was developed by Bergstrom and Hultman (1), in which the athlete exercised to deplete glycogen from the muscle, then consumed excess CHO over 3 days, without exercising. More recently an exercise tapering protocol has been developed, in which the athlete reduces the amount of exercise being done over 3 days, and does no exercise on day 3 (2). This reduction in exercise is followed by 3, or up to 6, days of loading. However in both versions, and the many modifications thereof, the athlete’s regular training protocol is interrupted. Two recent articles reported the success of consuming 12g/kg of lean body mass high CHO, high glycemic index foods, for 24 hours (3, 4). Both studies showed an increase in muscle...

...Universidad Panamericana – Planeación de Proyectos Juan Eduardo Martínez Aguilera - 0006852 Ensayo – Front-End Loading Introducción Muchas veces los proyectos fallan, se retrasan, incrementan su costo o son detenidos debido a la carencia de una buena planeación. No tener una buena planeación provoca un uso malo o ineficiente del tiempo de los equipos y recursos de un proyecto. Frecuentemente en todo tipo de industrias se presentan estos retrasos los cuáles tienen repercusiones más allá del retraso el proyecto en sí. Algunos ejemplos: “Los ingresos de Empresas ICA disminuyeron 10.2 por ciento a 8 mil 363 millones de pesos en el tercer trimestre del año, resultado de la caída de 23 por ciento en los ingresos por construcción ante el retraso en el desarrollo de grandes proyectos de infraestructura.” [El Financiero 2013] “El gerente general de Siemens Perú, Edwin Chávez, afirmó que el retraso de los proyectos mineros en el país está afectando a las empresas que brindan soluciones y servicios a este sector, pues las ventas programadas con anterioridad no se concretan.” [RPP noticias 2013] “Madrid, 13 de julio de 2012.- Los retrasos y excesos presupuestarios en proyectos de inversión de gran importancia para los sectores del petróleo, el gas y los servicios públicos podrían costar miles de millones de dólares, según un estudio de Accenture.” [Accenture 2012] De acuerdo a un estudio en 2009 de PriceWaterhouseCooper solo 2.5% de los proyectos grandes alcanzan los beneficios de negocio...

...The weapon was given a new name, which was the ‘Thompson Submachine Gun’. Although others were creating similar types of weapons, Thompson’s gun was the first to actually be named and promoted as a submachine gun. The first production was marketed to citizens but only a few purchased due to high prices. Eventually, sales grew larger. International sales and several police departments purchased the gun. The most amount of sales in the market came from the U.S. Military. The first gun that was produced didn’t have a serial number and it was shown 1918, which had with little similarities to the later Thompsons. This was followed by Model 1919 in .45 caliber.The guns rate of fire was about 1,000 rounds per minute. Some people say that prototypes were made to fire diverse calibers. By the early 1920s, the Auto-Ordnance Company was prepared for the prototype to be tested by the authorities. On April 27, 1920, the Springfield Armory ran the tests on how well the gun performs and the results were very impressive, as 2,000 rounds were fired with only one stoppage. The guns were also used by the Irish Republican Army in 1921 during the final month of battle in the Irish War of Independence. They were also used from 1922-23 during the Irish Civil War. The Irish did not find the Thompson submachine gun to be an effective weapon. They noted only 32 percent of those attacked with the Thompson received serious injuries. Prohibition had significantly expanded the earnings of America’s...

...Business Ethics Glock Company Marketing Approach The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution has been in the news heavily lately. The amendment “reads: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." (cornell.edu) Many companies have taken to the business of crafting and selling firearms. One such company is Glock, inc out of Austria. They market their firearms worldwide. Their advertisements try to take a humorous approach to owning a gun and the situations where having a gun can be lifesaving. This approach is unethical based on a utilitarian approach. Advertisements can take on a humorous approach in certain situations, however when it comes to being attacked and needing a weapon is not the way to market firearms. Glock Company has had several commercials over the years that take on this approach. Searching youtube.com for gun commercials will find the first link to 4 of them and is labeled as “Funniest Top 4 Gun Commercials” (youtube.com) When dealing with guns and the situations where having one can be lifesaving and making it a funny situation hurts the victims and the families involved. It makes it seem like it’s not that big of a deal and the situation is easily solved with having a gun. Instead of promoting how to properly own and maintain a gun it is shown in the air of humor. When a victim is put into that situation and they have to take the life...

...The cause of ball ‘e’ firing off is from the contact force between ball ‘d’ and ball ‘e’. The magnet cannon is a 2 piece assembly with 6 different components making it. The first assembly is ball ‘a’, the magnet, ball ‘b’, ball ‘c’, and ball ‘d’, the second assembly is ball ‘e’. The way to use the magnet cannon is by rolling ball ‘a’ into the assembly with ball ‘e’ at the end once ball ‘a’ hits ball ‘e’ fires off. After ball ‘e’ fires off you can see a small recoil and the assembly slides backward. The first piece of evidence for this is the slow-mo video where we saw ball ‘d’ fire off a small amount before getting back to the assembly. In the slow-mo video we saw that when ball ‘e’ got fired off so did ball ‘d’ a small amount before returning to the assembly, then the assembly recoiled. Another piece of evidence is the human cannon experiment we did. In this we saw a chain reaction almost in a wave form, of the push going to each person in the assembly. Then we saw human ball ‘e’ get pushed forward and the rest of the human assembly get a push back. In a second video we looked at for the human cannon we saw human (ball) ‘d’ actually get pushed off the assembly like what I saw with the slow-mo video. My third piece of evidence is the four free body diagrams on page (95) in our book. On the four free body diagrams we had ball ‘e’ and ‘a’ in the first second of the cannon and then the second. In the diagrams the forces acting on ball ‘a’ in the first second is the ruler, gravity...

...Muzzleloader Maintenance Daniel Schwerdtfeger Com/150 Effective Essay Writing 11-12-2012 Greg Downing Muzzleloader Maintenance Cleaning a muzzleloader, whether a Modern or Traditional style, is necessary in order to preserve the life of the barrel and breech areas, and also in maintaining the accuracy of your shot. The following will discuss how to disassemble, clean, and reassemble three different types of muzzleloader. There are key differences in the areas of disassembling and reassembling of the rifles, but cleaning both modern muzzleloaders and traditional muzzleloaders is similar. Gathering Cleaning Materials Before beginning the cleaning process for either Modern muzzleloaders or Traditional muzzleloaders, gather the supplies needed. Materials used for cleaning and preserving a muzzleloader include: Soap and warm water, cleaning solvent, gun oil and rag, two inch cotton-cloth patches, screw driver, nipple wrench, and a ramrod from the muzzleloader (or a range rod if wanted). Other supplies for the cleaning process are: A cleaning jag, an empty milk jug, a small container to fill with cleaning solvent for soaking the nipple and breech (if applicable), an old toothbrush and some twist-ties (or special tools able to be purchased), and finally some light grease. Please note, other materials may be necessary for a Modern Muzzleloader, such as a breech plug tool or Allen wrenches, so make sure to gather these as well if cleaning a Modern version of the Muzzleloader...

...Idaly Ruiz 1302-06 2/12/13 The United States would be much safer if only government officials were allowed to own guns. The public would not need any protection for themselves even if they come across a situation where they need some type of self-defense. I mean, that is why they have martial arts and boxing lessons’ right? It is certainly going to work even if someone is trying to kill you and has more strength than you. But on the other hand, it would be much easier if we did have a gun with us and only use it when it is needed to be used. Guns do not kill people, people do. The second amendment states the right to bear arms, so why choose to go against it. I would feel like the government does not even go by their set of rules. Besides defending yourself by knowing any type of martial arts, there are other options. They have things such as knives, forks, bats, pepper spray, hairspray, and even sling shots. I would prefer to use a sling shot since it would be the closest thing they have to a gun. I am not sure if it would help if I was to be in a dangerous situation but it would be the only thing I can possibly use for defense. I doubt it would help if I was to be up again more than two people but it would be worth a try. That is what I would do, but what about other people? How far would they go to feel safe or to protect themselves? Other than protection, how creative would murderers get to kill someone without using a gun, most crimes are committed without even having...

...The article this week is Sight: Iron Sights: Adjustable Sights. All though the article is very brief and does not go into detail in regards of the sights, it does give a good brief description of the sights them selves. No matter what type of sights you have on your firearm, they do increase the accuracy of the firearm, wither it is a fixed sight or adjustable site. There are numerous ways to classify sights, such as open sights, aperture sights, fixed sights or adjustable sights. The most common sights are fixed and adjustable sights. We know the fact of having a sight of any type increases the accuracy of the firearm, but having an adjustable sight improve the accuracy dramatically. Sights are only one part of improving the accuracy, by adding rifling accuracy and distance also improved. With the combination of both shooters could shot accurately at short and long distances. Even with sights psychics still play a vital role in the trajectory of the bullet, which makes it difficult for shooting with fixed sights at greater distances. With fixed sights it is hard to compensate for aerodynamics and gravitational pull. The shooter must compensate now adjust by either shooting up higher and or to left/right. With adjustable sights these anomalies can be adjusted at the sight not with the firearm. Fixed sights are just that they are fixed to the firearm and do not allow for any changes. Generally you have a fixed rear sight and fixed front sight. To use you line up the...

...Department of Health and Human Services HCS/212 October 18, 2012 The Department of Health and Human Services, also referred to as the Health Department, is the United States federal department and principal agency for protecting the health and welfare of all Americans; created in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officially opened on 4 May 1980 after it was removed from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). Attached were four major operating agencies of HHS: the Office of Human Development Services, the Public Health Service, HCFA, and the Social Security Administration (SSA). The major events during the 1980s at HHS concerned health care finance. A former U.S. Senator, Richard Schweiker, was appointed secretary of HHS by President Ronald Regan. He worked on changing the way in which the federal government reimbursed hospitals under Medicare from retrospective, or payment after the fact based on cost, to perspective, or payment in advance based on the diagnosis of the person as treated. In the early 1990s President William Clinton made welfare reform and health insurance his two priorities in the HHS realm. He failed in 1993 to get his health insurance proposals through Congress, despite a major publicity campaign help from his HHS secretary and former university president Donna Shalala. Therefore, he went with his initiative to end welfare as an open-ended entitlement and to substitute a program that...
