...Abstract— Face recognition is a biometric system used to verify or identify a person from a digital image. This involve extracting features of face and then recognize it, regardless of expression, lighting, illumination, transformations (translate, rotate and scale image), ageing and pose. The existing approaches are deblurring based, joint deblurring and recognition, deriving blur invariant features and direct approach, which uses convolution model for performing face recognition in the presence of blur. So these methods cannot handle non uniform blurring situations that frequently arise from rotations and tilts in hand held cameras. In this paper, face recognition is done, in the presence of space varying motion blur. We have taken the concept that the set of all images obtained by non-uniformly blurring a given image form a convex set. We develop an algorithm based on TSF (Transformation Spread Function) model. On each focused...

...School Uniforms For decades, schools, parents and students have argued over the issue of regulating student attire. Uniforms have been instituted throughout history for the purpose of instilling a sense of unity and membership among groups from girl scouts to the National Guard. School boards encouraged that enforcing a type of uniform for the students will help prevent violence, and improve school safety and academic discipline. Parents, however, ponder over how much of an impact dress policies have upon student learning. Opponents insist that there is no credible evidence that school uniforms improve school discipline or promote higher academic achievement. While the debates over whether or not dress codes should be implemented in school continue, it is obvious that both stances contain merit and are not merly invalid, false ideas. Dress codes vary from school to school. One school may require white button-down shirts and ties for boy, pleated skirts for girls and blazers adorned with the school logo for all students, while another school may simply require that all shirts have collars. Most school's dress codes usually prohibits: dying hair unnatural colors, tattoos, large or baggy clothing, holes in clothing, bandanas, hats, sunglasses, visible under garments, pajamas, swim suits, piercings other than earrings, and decorations that are symbols, mottoes, words or acronyms that convey crude, vulgar, profane, violent, gang-related, sexually explicit or suggestive messages. ...

...School Uniforms Should be Implemented in School? The public schooling system of the United States of America is now beginning to incline to a stricter approach in insisting upon the introduction of uniforms for students. This issue has given birth to a range of debates as many argue against uniforms at schools. However, school uniforms should be implemented in schools. There are reasonable arguments against the implementation of school uniforms. Some people think that it limits students' way of expressing themselves and creates certain inconveniences for the families in terms of spending money on purchasing. However, these concerns can be easily disproved. While school uniform restrain the students' abilities to express themselves physically, it encourages students to express themselves through actions and words, give an opportunity to impress verbally creating specific attitudes and emotions and develop positive self-esteem (Rockney). What is more, school uniforms should be implemented in schools because they help conduce social equality among students and diminish class distinction by means of discouraging bullying based on appearance. If schools implement uniforms, there will be less peer pressure to own the most fashionable clothes and lower rates of violence (Wilkins 21-22). As a result, students will perform better academically if they feel safe and there is no threat. In order not to be unsubstantiated, there is a necessity to turn to certain researches and...

Rick awakens from the hospital only to realize that that he is in a world that is not like he has ever seen. As soon as Rick leaves the hospital his moral and ethics are continuing to be pushed by a life full of zombies. Throughout the film, Rick is constantly seen with his police uniform on even though the world is going through a zombie apocalypse. When Rick passes his hat to his son, Carl and no longer wears his police uniform that indicates the police man role does not exists anymore. The uniform in a way symbolized authority over the group and was also a cue for whoever ran into him that he was benevolent and on the side of order. While The Walking Dead is a zombie killing series it is strongly centered on old humanity is gone and the new life has to come because of the change in in law enforcement. Rick giving his hat to Carl solidifies his transition from law enforcement to a man who is just trying to help his group survive. This strengthens the plot of society being built around high ranks to being shattered because an infectious disease. Rick started out as classical good guy who upheld traditional values, but later...

...Police Training: A Modern Approach American Military University CMRJ499 Criminal Justice Senior Seminar April 26, 2011 Police Training: A Modern Approach This research paper will examine the idea that traditional police training methods are inefficient for modern adult learners and new methods and techniques need to be utilized to ensure that today’s police force remains highly trained, professional and effective. The theory behind my thesis statement is that police officers are starting their law enforcement careers later in life (Mineard, 2006), are more diverse, have higher education and more life experiences. In the past, police officers were minimally trained, entered their careers at twenty-one or twenty-two years of age and had limited or no life experience prior to becoming police officers. Many law enforcement officers of the past entered police work directly from military service or school. Police training was developed during the early nineteenth century and the methods of training police officers have not change much over the past two decades. With the advent of the more mature, experienced and educated entry-level police officer, comes the need to reassess the training methods and adapt them to more effective methods for adult learners. Gone is the day of telling a rookie officer to sit in the car, keep quiet and do everything the training officer tells them. The military style training of blindly following leaders...

...Critical Thinking in the Workplace Critical Thinking in the Workplace There is an art and craft to critical thinking and understanding the process can be very overwhelming. According to Paul & Edler, “Critical thinking is the art of analyzing and evaluating thinking with a view to improving” (p. 4). Retaining employees who use critical thinking skills in the workplace is vital for an organization to be successful. Critical thinking helps to improve the decision making process that occurs in the workplace. When staff use critical thinking skills they are better equipped to rationalize the situation presented and deal with it accordingly. When a person can identify, analyze, and evaluate a problem before creating a solution they are thinking critically. This paper will explore critical thinking in the workplace and how thinking challenges can obscure the process of critical thinking. Most people process their thinking based on how and where they were raised, their religious beliefs, values, and ethics. Critical thinking involves analyzing and evaluating ones thoughts while eliminating all the biases one may have acquired overtime. When critical thinking skills are practiced in the workplace mistakes are normally at a minimal. Critical thinking allows employees to make decisions in a clear and concise manner. In the workplace today, most organizations are successful as a result of employing personnel who possess critical thinking skills or by training staff on...

...scrubs they will wear to work on any given day. Is any consideration given to the patient’s perception of them when the nurse chooses their attire? A study conducted by (Wocial, 2010) at two Midwestern health care centers addressed this thought by researching the question: Does a nurse’s uniform impact the patient’s perception of nurse professionalism? Families want nurses to be easily identifiable and for the uniform to promote a relaxed atmosphere, (Wocial, 2010). The purpose of the Uniform research study is to evaluate the public’s perception of the nursing uniform and its impact on perceived patient care. According to the authors, patient and visitor perception of satisfaction with care delivery and environment are important quality measures. According to (Wocial, 2010), previous studies on nursing uniforms failed to solely depict nurses in different scrubs but showed nurses in suggestive interactions with different accessories in various poses. (Wocial, 2010) further declared that it is not possible to determine results on the nurse’s uniform color and style due to other unique features. The scrub patterns presented varied from small print to large, and included solids for both the tops and bottoms. (Wocial, 2010) addressed the issue of looking disheveled and neat by having two sets of photos showing the same uniform; one with the top tucked in, and the other not. of each photo from the past study. The (Wocial, 2010) study used a qualitative approach...

...moments. Quality education is always the common goal but the approach has never been the same at achieving that goal. The government involvement, curriculum, and pedagogy have all been questioned over time. The common school movement began the step towards public school systems, Horace Mann and John Dewey brought new approaches towards curriculum, and the Nation at Risk report used government involvement to the highest degree in its time to reform education. The Common School Movement is responsible for creating the public school system structure we still use today. The idea behind the common school movement was to educate the general public in order to lower poverty rates and teach immigrant children the American ways (Hunt, 2002). In addition, the common school advocates suggested that while money may be spent on educating the poor, the benefits of educated moral citizens would pay off (Hunt, 2002). The common school movement was advocating education to be available for a growing diverse population in America. Hunt (2002), explains that prior to the common school, education was privately governed and was only for the wealthy. The movement advocated state and local involvement of the schools as well as public funding in order to provide free education (Webb, Metha, & Jordan, 2010). A structured curriculum is common today but this was what the advocators of the common school were striving for. A uniform education teaching the same things throughout the state was idolized...

...Personal or Political? Cleverly penned to literally mean ‘no place,’ Utopia is an ideal discussed by Thomas More in Utopia. With connotations of eternal and universal bliss, the potential of a Utopian society easily strikes a chord in anyone’s heart to continuously pursue. Therefore, isn’t that ultimately what we are all trying to do, reach our Utopia? It is common knowledge that we are all diverse and individual people, so is a true worldly Utopia possible? We each form our own individual Utopian ideals, and while some theories may connect in ways with another’s opinion, a Utopia is more of a personal ideal and less of a societal or political ideal. The foundation of a Utopia is where most commonalities in opinions are found: job or purpose, happiness, belonging, positive environment, insurance of safety and sustenance, and the perfect amount of order. Getting to a more specific level, however, reveals differences in issues of strong government control or complete independence, stationary communities or nomadic, living off the land or to focus on a life with industrialized advancements, etc. In More’s Utopia, the perfect amount of order is similar to the United State’s House of Representatives, in which one person per city is made the voice of the people. The votes are ultimately out of the public’s control and are the Representative’s own personal opinion of what is best for the people. (More) When the time comes to vote on issues like control, as a country we do our...
