...Tala Hughes Mrs. Martin DC English Comp. 111 20 November 2015 “Ground Zero” Paragraph Summaries 1. Berne is visiting Manhattan’s financial district for the first time to give respect to the tragedy that took place there at the World Trade Center. 2. There were people from all over the world and of all ages there to visit the site. 3. Although it may seem like you are looking at nothing, you are really looking at the absence of what used to be. 4. To a tourist, the site simply looks like a construction site. 5. Looking at the site even gives off the vibe that construction gives, of hope and curiosity. 6. Then your eyes adjust to the most striking part about the scene: the light. 7. Berne compares ground zero to a bowl of light, empty yet vast. What is missing becomes clearer as a watery glow from the light reflecting off the Hudson River covers everything. 8. Suddenly, she starts to see the tragedy, including the firefighters and the boarded windows. 9. Suddenly, the cemetery is visible, along with all of the personal belongings and headstones. 10. It takes time to see the tragedy and make sense of it all. 11. An old man near her is trying to explain to her son how he saw the site before the towers were even built. 12. It is clear many people are dissatisfied with being able to express only vague expressions. 13. Most of the people were picturing what they saw in the media, with the towers with black smoke around them...

...Group Simulation Model Analysis Bouncing Ball Model: Use of Zero-Crossing Detection 2012 Executive Summary In the system of a bouncing ball there are many factors which influence how the ball bounces. The 5 main components which affect how high the ball will bounce include the initial position of the ball, the initial velocity of the ball, the elasticity of the ball, the gravity of the selected area, and also the temperature of the material in which the ball was made from. These 5 major components of the basic system determine how high the ball bounces and how much energy was lost in the process of bouncing as well as allowing us to determine the relationship between these components and how each of these affects the overall system as a whole. However by changing these components of the system, it will dramatically change the overall results. In the system of a bouncing ball there already at secondary school level, illustrates Newton’s laws of motion and concepts of gravitational energy and kinetic energy with examples of objects dropped or thrown vertically and contains investigative activities about falling objects, the physics and mathematics. The fives main components which affect how high the ball will bounce they are initial position, the initial velocity, the elasticity, the gravity and the temperature of the material in which the ball was made from. These five major components of the basic system determine how high the ball bounces and how much energy...

...Chapter 2 Galileo’s Great Discovery: How Things Fall Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), the famous Italian mathematician at the leading edge of the scientific revolution that was to sweep Europe, was curious about motion. He was an experimentalist who for the first time had the insight and talent to link theory with experiment. He rolled balls down an inclined plane in order to see how things fell toward the Earth. He discovered in this way that objects of any weight fell toward the Earth at the same rate – that they had a uniform acceleration. He surmised that if they fell in a vacuum, where there was no air resistance to slow some objects more than others, even a feather and a cannon ball would descend at the same rate and reach the ground at the same time. He also explored the motion of pendulums and other phenomena. He is perhaps most famous for his 1610 telescopic discoveries of the moving moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the craters of the moon, all of which convinced him, against the ages-old wisdom of Aristotle and of the Catholic Church, of the rightness of the Copernican heliocentric view of the solar system. In his investigations of motion, Galileo was the first clearly to understand that the forces acting upon objects could be broken into independent components; that a thrown stone had a force pulling it down as well as the force throwing it horizontally outward. These insights would be of great use to Isaac Newton, born the year Galileo died, in devising the...

...Aperture Theory And The Equivalence Theorem Adriaan J. Booysen, Member, IEEE Grintek Avitronics, P 0 Box 8492, Centurion, 0046 I. INTRODUCTION The equivalence theorem [I] provides an elegant method for analysing electromagnetic radiation and scattering from structnres. A specific class of problems is where a source is enclosed within a structure which forms a cavity with an aperture, as depicted in Figure 1. From a radiation point of view, the fields wilhi the cavity are not of any rcal interest, only thc 'external' fields radiated from the apermre. If the field distribution in the aperture is known (even if only approximately),this n priori knowledge can be exploited to limit calculations to the 'external' part of the problem This technique is commonly referred to as 'aperture theory' and is discussed in many antenna textbooks, e.g. [2]. This paper deals with the methods in which the equivalent apermre current densities are incorporated into the surface equivalence theorem. It will be shown that the application of image theory to problems involving radiation hom apertures in half-spaceis incorrect and that the conventional formulation of apelture theory violates a basic condition of the equivalence principle. A new apermre theory formulation is presented. The method is very simple to implement and will be shown to be exact in as far as the exact aperture fields are known. II. THE SURFACE EQUIVALENCE THEOREM REVISITED Consider Love's external equivalence as discussed...

...Cheating and plagiarism are contrary to the purpose of any educational institution and must be dealt with most severely if students’ work is to have any validity. An instructor who determines that a student has cheated on a test or assignment will at a minimum give a zero for that item and may give a failure for the course. Normally the matter is dealt with by the instructor and the student, but the division chairperson may be consulted by either party to ensure fairness. Plagiarism, which is the appropriation of words or ideas of another without recognition of the source, is another form of cheating. An instructor who determines that a student has plagiarized will give a zero for the paper or project and may give a failure for the course. Both cheating and plagiarism are grounds for dismissal from the College. Any action taken regarding cheating or plagiarism is subject to the Academic Grievance policy outlined in the Undergraduate Catalogue and in the Student Handbook. The two tests will be available toward the end of the 5th week and the 10th week. Look in Blackboard for time available for access and length of test time. The two short papers are 1 to 2 pages in length with two references (do not use the text as a reference). Please access the cases from Appendix B and write three of them. Use the pages to answer the questions and add to your answer with the 2 references. Cite the references in your answer. One chapter will be covered each week, for a...

...Summary: The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) had a very strong value based- culture. Every decision and every action an employee made must be aligned with the company’s values. Fred Fetterolf the president of the company in 1985, decided the company needed to document the values that all employees must live by: Integrity; Environment, Health and Safety; Customer; Accountability; Excellence; People; and Profitability. Alcoa had implemented a global ethics and compliance program, and the focus on health and safety was interwoven through the company’s program. This program included all the basic elements specified in the U.S Federal Sentencing Guidelines and Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The company made it clear that the program’s tools must be understandable by all employees, must support the company’s strong value system, and must be continually reinforced by management. A normal Alcoa day started out all business meetings with an identification of exits, the evacuation plans in the event of an emergency, and other safety procedures. However, some safety procedures differed among Alcoa’s various business, corporate headquarters required all of its units to meet the same overall goal: zero work-related injuries and illnesses. Alcoa’s management team supported the ethical principal that no employees should leave work in a worse condition than when they arrived. In 1996, one of Alcoa’s Mexican facilities had deteriorated, allegations coming from activist shareholders at the annual meeting...

...Administrative Regulations (Assignment 2) One of the many duties of the Department of Justice, a U.S. federal agency, is to enforce federal laws which include the enforcement of the law and defend the interest of the American people. In other words, the Department of Justice is an agency created to protect our rights as citizens from domestic and international threat and harm. My proposed regulation of interest, “National Standards To Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Prison Rape “ is a compilation of recommendations prepared in April 2010 by the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission (PREA) and presented to the Department of Justice in pursuant to the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003. It’s important that people who care about our basic human rights as a whole not forget about those who are having these rights violated when serving their prison time in a correctional institution behind bars. Despite the person’s crime, their rights can’t be taken away and sadly, in some circumstances and environments we have to remind others that these rights remain active and lack enforcement. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, “among inmates who reported inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization, 13% of male prison inmates and 19% of male jail inmates said they were victimized within the first 24 hours after admission, compared to 4% of female inmates in prison and jail”. Sadly, it is the resistance to culture change by correctional staff and inmates alike that presents...

...A. Presentation Outline I. Introduction a. Audience hook: According to Horan (2013), anywhere between 40-47% of employees have been involved in an office romance, some of which include romantic, supervisor/subordinate relationships, and the best way to stop sexual harassment in the workplace is to prevent it (“Facts about sexual,” n.d.). b. Thesis statement: Research suggests that adopting a policy, regulating the conduct of employees, can be instrumental in preventing unethical behaviors in the workplace (Kaptein, 2011, p. 233). c. Preview of main points: i. Unwelcomed sexual harassment occurring in the workplace can impact work environment. ii. Prevention is the best way employers can eliminate sexual harassment in the workplace. II. Unwelcomed sexual harassment in the workplace can be physical, verbal, or visual, and violates Title VII. a. Quid pro quo and a hostile work environment are types of sexual harassment. i. Quid pro quo refers to an exchange of sexual favors for a job benefit or an employment decision that’s based on an employee accepting, tolerating, or participating in an unwelcomed conduct of a sexual nature (“Sexual harassment on,” n.d.). ii. A hostile work environment occurs when unwelcomed sexual conduct unreasonably interferes with an employee’s job performance or a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment is created (“Sexual harassment on,” n.d.). b. In 1986, the landmark case of Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson dramatically...
