...Building a New Structure – NFPA Codes Susan Wint ITT Technical Institute NT1310 Physical Networking Author Note This paper is being submitted on October 4, 2015, for Professor Carlos Miranda NT1310 Physical Networking. Building a New Structure – NFPA Codes The FCC issues guidelines that govern the installation of telecommunications cabling and the design of communications devices built or used in the US must follow a code of ethic like local, state, county, city and NEC, and that local codes would take precedence over all other installation guidelines. LPFM stations must protect authorized radio broadcast stations on the same channel or frequency, as well as broadcast stations on first or second-adjacent channels above or below the LPFM station's frequency. This protection would be accomplished through the use of minimum distance separation requirements, which are set forth in 47 CFR 73.807. Second, section 79.2 of the FCC’s rules requires that emergency information provided on television be accessible to individuals who have vision disabilities. This means that broadcasters must describe any emergency information that is shown on the screen, and must accompany any emergency information that is not orally described with an aural tone which instructs individuals with vision disabilities to turn to a radio or another source for more information. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 704 is a standard maintained by the U.S. based National Fire Protection...

...Project: Building an Ethical Organization part 2 Title: Job Placement Program By Penelope Foretich August 20, 2015 Introduction Statement Here in the city of Commerce, TX, there is a rising problem that has to deal with the economic crisis of the town. The town has approximately 9,000 residents in it, but only a handful of employment opportunities for these residents to find work. The highest employer in town is the Texas A and M University with an average of 900 employees. However, once school is out, their job opportunities for the town drop drastically. Many employers lose their staff, since most are from the University. As a result, it has possibly added to the cause of the poverty rate increase in the town. As a Human Service Advocate and a resident of the town itself, I propose a Job Placement program to bring the economy of the town back up. The people of Commerce need a way to revive the town and bring the economy of their residents back up and out of poverty. I believe creating a job placement program for the residents could help in solving the issue of the drop rate in available jobs in Commerce. This is a growing problem and there are many that need help with finding jobs. What will also help is providing the right job training for those part of the program. Description of the Organization The type of organization that I will be to be Director of is a non-profit Job placement program through this organization. It will also help in Employer building. My organization...

...lease a commercial building? Explain why. • The type of lease required for commercial building will be dictated by the type of service, location, or business rendered by your company. If your intention is to open up an automobile repair shop, Home Depot, Best Buy, CVS, etc…, and you have outstanding credit, then triple net lease would benefit you well. In the case of a small business, say an automobile repair shop, my preference is still the triple net lease (NNN). The NNN lease is based on your credit, and the work required in bringing the facility up to a workable standard or building code. The basic office building might require paint and a signs while an auto repair shop requires the modification of wiring, foundation, hazardous chemical and so on. However, if you’re an established fortune 500 company with AAA rating, the NNN should fit the bill. Home Depot or CVS are usually built from the ground up. Then reason triple net lease is best for an industrial business or service is the necessary amounts of work in bring that facility up to the current building code. Business like the Home Depot or Best Buy is generally built from the ground up and usually does not accept reconditioned buildings. In the case off small business man with good credit, opening an automobile repair shop could be expensive. The associated cost of putting in body lift, acid cleaner, heavy equipment, hazardous material disposal, etc… could be expensive and all are necessary before the front door...

...Building an Ethical Organization Human service organizations are meant to provide quality assistance when assisting individuals in need. One way to assure that this is so, is be making sure that one understands the many aspect of what ethics truly mean. When considering what an ethical organization stands for, one should always implement these six elements, such as: mission statement, values statement, code of ethics, organizational culture, leadership, and oversight. When building an ethical organization, this simply means that one needs to understand what it truly mean to be efficient, effective, productive, professional, and compassionate human service worker. What one has found while taking this course is that there are many human service organizations/agencies that are in this field only for the financial aspect. Creating an ethical organization begins with hiring ethical people. “Once employed, those individuals must step up to the moral challenge and fulfill the ethical responsibilities they have,’ (McCurdy, 1998) One’s staff should “bear the responsibility for the ethical nature of their organization; it will not do the claim that the organization can somehow “lead individuals to do good or evil or that the organization can be guilty of unethical behavior, apart from identifiable individuals who lead it and staff it” (McCurdy, 1998) Even though this is so, individuals have an indisputable moral responsibility in organizations, people also need their organization moral...

...Synopsis In 2003, Coleen Colombo joined the California branch of BNC, where she worked as a senior underwriter. The BNC office in which Colombo worked was part of the regional group that offered a considerable amount of loan to its customers. The performance of Colombo in her work was outstanding. This is according to a wrongful termination and harassment suit filed in California Superior Court on her behalf and on behalf of five other BNC employees. The suit states that the work environment began to become hostile for Colombo in 2005 after one of her fellow employees, a male wholesaler, began bringing her loans with questionable attributes such as incorrect salaries and home values. The male wholesaler even tried to bribe her to allow a loan with incorrect information to be approved. According to Sylvia Vega-Sutfin, a former employee of BNC, the bribes were common in the company. Vega-Sutfin stated that most of the underwriters in the company demanded bribes so that they can approve the loans. When she refused to pay them, her life in the company began to become unbearable to her; sometimes her loan files could disappear mysteriously and the size of her commission checks dropped significantly. She claimed in the filed suit that her bosses said would make her an example to others who might want to complain regarding the issue of bribery. The same thing happened to Colombo; in her suit, she states that she informed the regional vice president of BNC about the wholesale who wanted...

...Removal of Public Nuisances Legal provisions regarding Removal of Public Nuisances under section 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. A class or community residing in a particular locality may come within the term ‘public’. ‘Nuisance’ is an inconvenience which materially interferes with the ordinary physical comfort of human existence. According to Section 268 of the Indian Penal Code, in order to constitute a public nuisance, the injury, danger or annoyance must be caused to the public, or to the people in the vicinity or to persons who may have occasion to exercise any public right. A ‘public place’ includes also property belonging to the State, camping grounds and grounds left unoccupied for sanitary or recreative purposes. The public place must be open to the public, i.e., a place to which the public have access by right, permission, usage or otherwise. The procedure to remove the public nuisances which can be redressed according to Section 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure through conditional order is as follows: Whenever a District Magistrate or a sub-divisional Magistrate or any other Executive Magistrate specially empowered in this behalf by the State Government, on receiving the report of a police officer or other information and on taking such evidence (if any) as he thinks fit, considers— (a) That any unlawful obstruction or nuisance should be removed from any public place or from any way, river or channel which is or may be lawfully used by...

...forth by their company; officially and what is observed by the salesperson Their own personal set of ethics 3-4. What is the Uniform Commercial Code? Why is it needed? The laws most directly influencing sales in the United States. They focused on the buyer-seller dynamic and give the customers some protection with the opportunity to reconsider purchasing decisions in the event that they were misled or persuaded toward purchases unfairly. 3-5. Why must a salesperson's ethical sense extend beyond the legal definition of what is right and wrong? What is legal may not necessarily be ethical. It is perfectly legal to leave your sales team in a lurch only to return in time to save the transaction and get all the credit for solving the issue. Your co workers (and likely your supervisor) will see it as unethical and dishonest. 3-6. Explain why the sales manager plays such an important role in influencing the ethical behavior of salespeople. The sales manager is the salesperson's role mode. Their behavior and seniority give their words and actions more weight than co workers on the same tier. 3-7. A company policy on ethics should cover several major areas. What are they? Openness and Trust Integrity and honest Focus on the customer 3-8. List and describe three guidelines used as a foundation of a self-imposed code of business ethics. Personal selling is an exchange of value The task is...

...July 13, 2014 This is an Executive Summary Plan for our new building for which construction begins in exactly six weeks. My name is Peggy Decker and I will be the Project manager for the design and installation of our new cable network for that building. I am excited to be a part of the project and look forward to working with each and every one of you during this exciting time of growth for our company. When considering the capacity if this project I ask you to consider all ideas or changes you see as plausible and should be brought to my attention at any time. All input will be appreciated and welcomed. When I was assigned with this project I was given several different diagrams of how our new building will be occupied and a few different floor plans. With these my team and I will need to come up with a wiring diagram that will not fit our building’s needs but also allow for future growth of our building. With this project we plan for it to be a bit more expensive than common plans but it will allow for less problematic growth of our building and network in the future. When tacking a project like this we have several different issues that must be addressed. Our first priority in this process is to understand all of the proper building standards and codes. There are several different organizations that we will have to contact and work with to include the Insulated Cable Engineers Association and the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA). These organizations, along with...

...Fire Prevention: Prepared or Not Eric Brown Kaplan University Fire Prevention Practices FS-105 09 Prof. Chipper Wilkerson 9/30/13 Abstract Does fire prevention need to be taught before you get formal education to put out the fire? Once you know how and why it started can that make a difference in how you go about teaching fire prevention or even to put out the fire. This is a different way to think about fire prevention that has to be looked into to find out if this is a better way. Engineering, Education and Enforcement have worked for now maybe it’s time to change the The Three E’s around and make education the most important. The Job of Fire Prevention The implementation of the fire bureau has led to better enforcement of life safety codes and inspections to help prevent fires from happening. There have been many instances in history that show how fire prevention could have saved lives. What has to be done to reinvent the idea of fire prevention? How many fire departments do fire prevention every day, my guess would be not many. Fire prevention should be taught every week not just during fire prevention week for the idea to help prevent fires from happening. The U.S. population has the mentality that fires only happen to others and not me and if it does I am insured attitude(Hensler, 2011). Some firefighters receive their training on fire prevention on the job, but does that mean they are being taught by someone who has had formal training or was...
