...Strategies for security in High-Rise Residential Buildings | November 10 2013 | | Kristen Mosuch Case Study 1 | Strategies for security in High-Rise Residential Buildings When living in a high-rise, residents have a reasonable expectation of safety and security. As a contractor charged with the construction of such a building, there are many facets of security that must be taken into consideration before design and construction can begin. As a contractor, there is a certain responsibility to account for any risks that already exist, as well as risks that may exist in the future. Security is often used as a selling point for potential buyers, so the overall success of the project can depend on how well the security portion is implemented. According to Chris Grniet, regional managing director for Guidepost’s Technology/Design Consulting team, “What’s secure and what isn’t for residential properties tends to wax and wane with the perception of general security and safety in the overall environment.” (Garris, 2013) Residents will feel more comfortable, and will be willing to spend more if they feel secure in their living environment. “When establishing the right mix of comfort and security, the trick is to incorporate security measures without making them completely obvious. It’s not about being stealth, but about providing a safe environment that feels like home. “ (Garris, 2013) Security should not interfere with the daily lives or residents, but should be non-invasive...

...regards to lobbying laws, because there is still your classic loop holes that people use to avoid being in violation of the law. Corporations, organizations, universities, non-profit groups, and even churches lobby the federal government. Organizations, such as those listed, purposely employ people who are known as lobbyists, for services that include “making more than one lobbying contact on behalf of a client” and who also engage in other lobbying activities. Since 1988, 22,000 companies and organizations have employed 3,500 lobbying firms and over 27,000 lobbyists. Over time, many would agree that lobbyists have become very powerful. With the increase of power that these lobbyists have with regards to governmental policies, regulations and laws must also be revised and re-enacted to combat the increased power being gained. Lobbyists are required to register with Congress if their lobbying expenditures exceed more than $24,500 in a six month period. The Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives oversee federal lobbying. Under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, both offices are required to ensure timely and accurate reports which are to be made available to the public. However, according to the Center for Public Integrity report,...

...Department, 764 P.2d 1316 (N.M. 1988). Facts: Ms. Rodman was an employee of Presbyterian Hospital for nearly eight years as a unit secretary. On February 17, 1987, the appellant was terminated under hospital personnel policies following a “third corrective action” notice. Ms. Rodman was reprimanded in June of 1986 in light of receiving an inordinate number of personal calls and visitors at her work station. The formal reprimand set forth conditions to prevent further corrective action. The conditions were as follows: no personal telephone calls during work hours outside of a designated break or dinner time, these are to occur in an area not visible to patients, physicians, or other staff. When leaving for dinner, Rodman was to report to her immediate supervisor and was not to leave the hospital. According to the testimony given by Rodman’s supervisor disruptive telephone calls continued. In November of 1986 Ms. Rodman received another written reprimand stating that her job was in jeopardy. Ms. Rodman’s supervisor established restrictions prohibiting visitors at the department and instructed her to notify security if there was a potential problem. On February 15, 1987 Ms. Rodman began work a 1:00 p.m. Ms. Rodman had spoken to her boyfriends’ mother earlier informing her she did not wish her boyfriend to use her car and that she had broken off their relationship.

Without attracting their attention I walked back to the COA gate which was ajar. I saw the motorcycle of Renato Zamboanga-Process Server of this court parked infront of the Security Office at the basement and saw SG2 Elberto Q. Bautista holding the telephne on his ears staring blankly and tinkering with the keypad of the same. He smelled of liquor /alcoholic breath. 4.

...too few firms, consumers have inadequate information, or because pollution affects innocent bystanders who do not even buy the product that is polluting their air or water. But government can fail, too, sometimes because it is just too big and bloated to deliver what it promises. Often, government fails because of the vigorous lobbying efforts of special interest groups. Sometimes these groups extract special favors that protect them from foreign competition (think sugar quotas that prevent Brazil from selling us cane sugar). Other times lobbying protects firms from regulations that would force them to pay for the environmental damage they cause (think former Vice President Cheney's "secret energy task force," which worked behind closed doors to ensure the views of the oil industry were enshrined in public policy).

...main purpose is to inform travelers on basic facilities that can be expected. (Wikipedia, 2014) There are various ranges of hotel star ratings, from 1 star hotel to luxurious 5 star hotel. Hotel Star Ratings | | | | | | | | | Example of hotel star ratings For this report, as a Rooms Division Manager who previously worked in Rizqun International Hotel, a 5 star hotel in Brunei Darussalam, I am now working in The Brunei Hotel, a 3 star hotel and are required to restructure and analyse the differences of the housekeeping department and front office department between a 5 star hotel and a 3 star hotel. Housekeeping Department A housekeeping department in a 5 star hotel has more responsibilities than a 3 star hotel, because a 5 star hotel’s housekeeping department require a lot of staff as there are more rooms to be cleaned. In Rizqun International Hotel, there are more than a thousand rooms that need to be cleaned. In Brunei Hotel, there are only 65 rooms in total, and this does not require them to hire a lot of staff. (www.rizquninternational.com, 2014) (thebruneihotel.com, 2014) As for cleaning the lobby area, in Rizqun International Hotel, it has a huge lobby area and it requires a thorough cleaning, whereas in Brunei Hotel, it only has a small area that needs to be cleaned. For their facilities, the 5 star hotel have 10 meeting rooms that needs to be taken care. A lot of cleaning and...

...SURVIVAL TRAVELING Although, Costa Rica is one of the safest countries in the world in which to travel, tourists as well as all visitors, should be cautious just like anywhere across the globe. This chapter of Survival Trekking covers the basics of traveling safely and is intended for the adventure traveler. The purpose of this information is to assist the reader in becoming a “hard target” instead of “soft target” and a statistic we end up reading about in the newspapers. Although I use Costa Rica as the example, these techniques can be and should be applied anywhere in the world that you might travel, because crime and terrorism can happen anywhere, at any time. "If a criminal wants to get me, then there is nothing I can do to stop him." This attitude is typical of many travelers in foreign countries, but there are many things that we can do to prepare ourselves becoming less vulnerable to criminal and terrorist acts. The goal is to turn ourselves into “hard targets” instead of “soft targets,” thus making ourselves undesirable targets, which the would-be criminal will pass and go on to the next unfortunate person. Simply put, it’s like auto theft; if a car thief comes to your locked vehicle with the windows rolled up and an alarm system, then he will most likely go to the next vehicle looking for one that is not as secure. The same can be said for many types of criminal acts as criminals and terrorists look for soft targets that involve little risk and offer...

...INDIVIDUAL CASE ANALYSIS #1: THE WATERVIEW JOSH MCKENNA B00573719 SCOTT COMBER – COMM 2303 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4th, 2014 Introduction Located on the waterfront of a once prestigious resort at the heart of the Muskoka district of Northern Ontario, the Waterview snack bar has been a leading tourist destination for decades. The resort has since changed ownership on multiple different occasions over the past few years, and as a result, its ability to consistently demonstrate quality customer service has also suffered. The present owners have been making an effort to restore the resort’s image, but reputations are heavily influenced by word of mouth, thus the restoration process has been slow going. Long-time snack bar employee, Michael Welland, who has been working for The Waterview snack bar since he was 17, has been returning each summer holidays to work full-time to save money for his university education. Welland, who had been recently promoted to the position of supervisor, engaged his manager, Rebecca Boddington, in numerous heated arguments. These arguments revolved around Boddington demanding Michael to perform tasks that were not involved in his job description; failing to take the time to address his job-related problems and concerns; and paying him less than he was promised upon receiving his promotion to supervisor. Welland, disheartened and convinced that Boddington held a personal grudge against him, was now considering whether it was worth his time to finish...
