...Andy Abstein Professor: Ortiz Patrol Functions 2 December 2012 Ethical Law Enforcement I chose this subject because I feel that before embarking on a career in law enforcement it is fundamental to understand how to play by the book without getting ostracized by ones peers. The purpose of this paper is to outline proper behavior while paying attention to factors that will effectively limit corruption. The law enforcement oath of honor is as follows. “On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always uphold the constitution my community and the agency I serve.” On a daily basis police officers risk their lives to protect citizens and defend liberty. It is a noble and selfless occupation that makes a difference in the quality of life. Before taking the Law Enforcement Oath of Honor it is important to comprehend its meaning. Honor, means your word is given as a guarantee, Betray is breaking faith with the public trust, Badge is your symbol of office, Integrity is adhering to the same code of conduct in private life and public duty, Character is distinguishing qualities of an individual, Public Trust is the faith of those you serve that your conduct will be ethical, Courage is strength against danger fear and non-ethical pressure, Accountability You answer to the office of your oath and are...

...think while a speaker addresses an audience means that all of what is being said is not being comprehended. In both lecture and conversation there is nothing more annoying than a person who speaks when you want them to listen. Your mind can process information about four times as fast as the average person can speak, and it requires considerable concentration to match the speed of processing with the delivery of spoken words. It also means being able to read between the lines, interpreting emotion, intonation, and body language along with that which is heard, anticipating what will be said next and what has been said in your own words. Psychologists studying the process of listening have found that a very small percentage of people recall even 50% of what they have heard, though they agree that listening skills can be taught or self-taught in a relatively short period of time. Psychologists have also shown that upward of 80% of test questions originate from lectures as opposed to reading from a text. In many cases the questions students asked in class were those that appeared on the test. One particularly effective means of listening can be demonstrated...

...10 Creating Charts and Graphics In this chapter, you will learn how to ✔ Create charts. ✔ Customize the appearance of charts. ✔ Find trends in your data. ✔ Summarize your data by using sparklines. ✔ Create dynamic charts by using PivotCharts. ✔ Create diagrams by using SmartArt. ✔ Create shapes and mathematical equations. When you enter data into a Microsoft Excel 2010 worksheet, you create a record of important events, whether they are individual sales, sales for an hour of a day, or the price of a product. What a list of values in cells can’t communicate easily, however, is the overall trends in the data. The best way to communicate trends in a large collection of data is by creating a chart, which summarizes data visually. In addition to the standard charts, with Excel 2010 you can create compact charts called sparklines, which summarize a data series using a graph contained within a single cell. You have a great deal of control over your charts’ appearance—you can change the color of any chart element, choose a different chart type to better summarize the underlying data, and change the display properties of text and numbers in a chart. If the data in the worksheet used to create a chart represents a progression through time, such as sales over several months, you can have Excel extrapolate future sales and add a trendline to the graph representing that prediction. Just as you can create a PivotTable dynamic view to reorganize your data dynamically, you can create...

...Riordan Manufacturing System Proposal October 10, 2013 Riordan Manufacturing System Proposal Executive Summary Team C’s goal is to facilitate Riordan Manufacturing in improving profitability by reducing employee time on actions and processes that are automatable and avoidable. Team C’s objective is to reduce costs and inefficiencies while adding the ability to improve inventory tracking from raw material beginnings to product sales throughout Riordan Manufacturing’s plants and facilities. A new manufacturing resource planning system (MRP) will allow Riordan Manufacturing to grow and remain competitive. Team C will work to create an MRP system for use by Riordan Manufacturing for tracking inventory and improving manufacturing tracking systems. Team C is confidence that one server in a central location will allow each of Riordan Manufacturing’s facilities to manage inventory better and improve the processing and storage of all data. Housing a backup server at another location will protect data for Riordan Manufacturing. This will save in labor costs by having fewer IT employees at each of the facilities that no longer house servers. Currently when shipments arrive the supervisor is responsible for checking in the material to coincide with the shipping orders. At the end of the day a clerk enters this information into the database. Team C will utilize the use of bar scanners to eliminate unnecessary paperwork. The use of bar scanners will free up workers to be available...

...river basins in the world. The Nile originates from its major source, Lake Victoria forming the White Nile that flows generally North through Uganda and into Sudan where it meets the Blue Nile at Khartoum, from the confluence of the White and Blue Nile, the Main Nile River flows northwards into Egypt and to the Mediterranean Sea. The Eastern Nile includes the countries of Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt, and encompasses the sub-basins of the Baro-Akobo-Sobat, the Blue Nile, the Tekezze-Settit-Atbara, portions of the White Nile in Sudan, and the Main Nile. All flows in the Nile are the result of rainfall upon the Ethiopian highlands and the Equatorial lakes region. While this rainfall is usually plentiful, it is not always consistent from year to year. The annual average rainfall over the entire Nile basin is approximately 600 mm, ranging from 1200-1600 mm at the headwater regions to near zero at the most northern part of the basin. The seasonal fluctuations of rainfall in the Ethiopian highlands are much greater than those at the source of the White Nile. However, depending on the strength of the monsoon over Ethiopia, the total flow volume from year to year can vary dramatically. There are two major basins within the Nile basin. These two major basins are the eastern Nile that is composed of Abbay (Blue Nile), Tekeze (Atbara), Baro Akobo (Sobat), and the...

...“Small is beautiful”[1]: Manufacturing Marketing Dilemma at Signode Tracko Components Ltd: PCB Division Amit Thomas was exuberant. Ever since he joined as Chief Marketing Officer, STC’s PCB division is showing exponential growth. From a sales of just over Rs24 million in 2000, during his first year of service itself, he could raise it to over Rs 40 million. Now browsing through the figures, he found that in the last nine months (Jan-Sep[2])the sales have reached over Rs 68 million[3]. He knew his strategy worked…Accepting both small and big orders had made this dramatic growth possible. He is looking forward to the next review meeting. He couldn’t wait to laugh at those production fellows who always cry foul at his strategies!!! The company Signode Tracko Components Ltd (STCL) is the Indian subsidiary of the Fortune 500 German MNC Signode Components Inc. STCL started operation during the rapid liberalization phase of India during early part of the last decade and soon positioned itself as an OEM and a major electrical component manufacturer that go into the production of many household white goods and electric equipment. During the late 1999, STCL decided to bifurcate its Printed Circuit Board division at Faridabad as an independent company under the same brand umbrella, to tap the booming electronic toys and edutainment market. During 1999, there were over 250 Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturers in India, most of them in public sector. These manufacturers...

...a result of endlessly trying to alter her portrait, the “girlchild” eventually “wore herself out”. This poem suggests that unrealistic societal demands are destructive for a woman’s self-esteem and well-being. When comparing oneself to an idealistic notion of female beauty and behaviour, one can only expect to feel demoralized, discouraged and devalued. Indeed, "Barbie Doll," the title of the poem, symbolizes society’s view of a perfect woman; the way society expects every woman to be. In fact, by using “Barbie Doll” as the title to her poem, Marge Piercy wants the reader to compare and contrast the adolescent’s appearance to that of a Barbie doll. Stereotypically, Mattel’s Barbie dolls have tall, thin yet curvy bodies, with symmetrical, perfect facial features, blonde hair and blue eyes. This, in turn, leads to the protagonist’s void of self-confidence. Additionally, living up to such standards - all the while being a housewife who must clean the house, raise the children and please her husband - is very demanding on the female gender. Moreover, the doll is symbolic of the ways that women themselves have been plasticized and turned into something they’re not. As a matter of fact, by trying to live up to these societal standards, women can’t rely on natural beauty. For instance, at the end of the poem, the young girl is wearing makeup, has “a putty nose” and is “dressed in a pink and white nightie”. This array of beauty enhancers adds to the young girl’s...

...THE USES OF REASON by Jonah Lehrer The summer of 1949 had been long and dry in Montana; the grassy highlands were like tinder. On the afternoon of August 5—the hottest day ever recorded in the area—a stray bolt of lightning set the ground on fire. A parachute brigade of firefighters, known as smokejumpers, was dispatched to put out the blaze. Wag Dodge, a veteran with nine years of smokejumping experience, was in charge. When the jumpers took off from Missoula in a C-47, a military transport plane left over from World War II, they were told that the fire was small, just a few burning acres in the Mann Gulch river valley. As the plane approached the fire, the jumpers could see the smoke in the distance. The hot wind blew it straight across the sky. Mann Gulch is a place of geological contradiction. It is where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains, pine trees give way to prairie grass, and the steep cliffs drop onto the steppes of the Midwest. The gulch is just over three miles long, but it marks the border between these two different terrains. The fire began on the Rockies’ side, on the western edge of the gulch. By the time the firefighters arrived at the gulch, the blaze had grown out of control. The surrounding hills had all been burned; the landscape was littered with the skeletons of pine trees. Dodge moved his men over to the grassy side of the gulch and told them to head downhill, toward the placid Missouri River. Dodge didn’t trust this blaze. He wanted to be near...

...ARTICLES PUBLISHED ONLINE: 18 MAY 2015 | DOI: 10.1038/NNANO.2015.89 Black silicon solar cells with interdigitated back-contacts achieve 22.1% efficiency Hele Savin1*, Päivikki Repo1, Guillaume von Gastrow1, Pablo Ortega2, Eric Calle2, Moises Garín2 and Ramon Alcubilla2 The nanostructuring of silicon surfaces—known as black silicon—is a promising approach to eliminate front-surface reflection in photovoltaic devices without the need for a conventional antireflection coating. This might lead to both an increase in efficiency and a reduction in the manufacturing costs of solar cells. However, all previous attempts to integrate black silicon into solar cells have resulted in cell efficiencies well below 20% due to the increased charge carrier recombination at the nanostructured surface. Here, we show that a conformal alumina film can solve the issue of surface recombination in black silicon solar cells by providing excellent chemical and electrical passivation. We demonstrate that efficiencies above 22% can be reached, even in thick interdigitated back-contacted cells, where carrier transport is very sensitive to front surface passivation. This means that the surface recombination issue has truly been solved and black silicon solar cells have real potential for industrial production. Furthermore, we show that the use of black silicon can result in a 3% increase in daily energy production when compared with a reference cell with the same efficiency, due to its better angular...
