But in some cases, privacy is an issue in the release of footage. Because the trust in police officers is becoming non-existent, police body cameras are a rising solution that may have pros and cons.

...When America was first discovered, it was very much an unsettled land. There was no centralized government, no real established culture, and no official identity. Thus, it became the perfect place for people who were looking to start over. Many of the early settlers were younger brothers who hoped to claim the land that they could not inherit, religious pilgrims who hoped to be able to practice their beliefs, and floundering businessmen who hoped to create a fortune in a new land. What they all had in common was the idea that they could become something better, that in this empty land they could carve their lives into some fantastic image in their minds. Eventually, the ability to do big things in this country warped into the expectation to do something big with one’s opportunity in America. (And by “do something big”, it is meant that it is something big on societal terms.) This is the ideal that eventually became an important part of American culture. It resulted in entire generations growing up learning to measure their lives as the distance from where they were to some far off point in the horizon where they felt they should be. The late twentieth century showed the consequences of this kind of thinking. Due to a period of rapid technological and social change, America underwent a massive transformation in lifestyle. Thus, much of what had been built became obsolete, and the generation that spent their lives trying to become something suddenly found their entire life’s...

C: quinhydrone electrode Equipment and chemicals: Chemicals: 7 aqueous solutions with different pH, distilled water Equipment for task A: The potentiometer for the measurement of the electromotoric force, cell with the hydrogen and calomel electrodes, hydrogen gas in the steel cylinder with valve and manometers, thermometer, beakers, filtering paper An electrochemical cell (Fig. 7-1, p. 7-38) includes: hydrogen electrode with the platinized platinum (1) placed inside of tube connected with the hydrogen gass valve (1). Saturated calomel electrode (3) is used as the reference electrode. Electrodes are immersed in the measured solution (2). For storage, hydrogen electrode should be kept in distilled water, and the calomel electrode in the saturated KCl solution. It is necessary to prevent the sensitive parts of electrodes from drying out. Procedure: Manipulation with the hydrogen gas valve is allowed to the instructor only, or under his supervision! 1. Take off electrodes from the storage solution (shift them vertically up without leaving the holder). Rinse them with distilled water, and dry gently with filtering paper. 2. Fill the beaker with measured solution. 3. Put the electrodes to the solution in the beaker. At least one half...

He has a limited amount of the 3 ingredients used to produce these chips available for his next production run: 4600 ounces of salt, 9400 ounces of flour, and 2200 ounces of herbs. A bag of Lime chips requires 1.5 ounces of salt, 5 ounces of flour, and 2 ounces of herbs to produce; while a bag of Vinegar chips requires 4 ounces of salt, 6 ounces of flour, and 2 ounces of herbs. Profits for a bag of Lime chips are $0.48, and for a bag of Vinegar chips $0.59. a) What is the formulation for this problem? b) For the production combination of 800 bags of Lime and 600 bags of Vinegar, which resource is not completely used up and how much is remaining? c) For the production combination of 800 bags of Lime and 600 bags of Vinegar, which resource is not completely used up and how much is remaining? d) Discuss: Slack (if any); shadow price, and sensitivity analysis results using the program of your choice. Above problem is a maximization problem as one is trying to maximize the profits by making different bags of chips. It takes salt, flour and herbs to make two different types of chips – Lime and Vinegar. There are constrained amounts of salt, flour and herb and the owner want to maximize his profits. The amount of profit per bag is given as well. The LP problem thus becomes: Maximize Profits from the sale of bags...

...Observing the living creatures around us Jemyla bell AIU Online Biology IP.1 Question When taking a hike, you notice that a ruby-throated hummingbird seems interested in your red hat. It hovers over the hat and then darts away. Do ruby-throated hummingbirds prefer some colors more than others when visiting flowers? Observing the living creatures around us There is a saying that ruby-throated hummingbirds are attracted to preferred colors curiosity struck me when I noticed the hummingbird taking interest in my red hat, very interested in knowing the truth for myself I decided to conduct an experiment to find out whether ruby-throated hummingbirds are attracted to some colors more than others. According to (Suarez & Gass, 2002) she believe that ruby-throated hummingbirds may be attracted to some colors like red. I then decided to test the theory for myself by measuring the time and frequency of the hummingbird’s attraction by testing a series of colors. By doing this experiment it should reveal rather the ruby- throated hummingbird is attracted to red or a series of colors. Hypothesis I predict that ruby-throated hummingbirds will be attracted to the red color more verses the others Colors. Prediction: During this experiment I expect to obtain accurate results based on the use of my experimental method to find out if the ruby-throated hummingbird is more attracted to red verses other colors. I expect to prove that bright colors like red attract...
