2. Cordner Community Policing
Respondents could indicate whether the effect was manifested not at all, to some extent, or to a great
extent, instead of just reporting whether there was an effect or not. The 2002 survey indicated that
close to 65 percent of agencies responding reported improved cooperation between citizens and police
to a great extent, , and close to 55 percent reported increased involvement of citizens to a great extent
(Fridell, 2004, p.45). Relatively large proportions of agencies also reported that community policing to
a great extent improved citizen attitudes toward police (48 percent), increased volunteer activities by
citizens (37 percent), and increased information from citizens to the police (31 percent) (Fridell, 2004,
p.45).

Surveys, case studies, and decades of experience from numerous police departments across the
country has provided us with useful information that has allowed us to make changes to improve
community policing. In addition, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) has
helped state and local law enforcement agencies develop and enhance their effectiveness in advancing
public safety through the implementation of community policing strategies. Since its creation in 1994,
the COPS Office has awarded more than $14 billion dollars in grants across the Nation to hire more
officers, purchase new technology, and support local problem solving approaches to fighting crime
and disorder (Schneider, 2003). In 1997, COPS established the Advancing Community Policing
(ACP) Grant Program to help agencies strengthen and institutionalize their community policing
programs. The program focused on the process of organizational change. Over the past 24 years, the
COPS office has made many accomplishments, including the widespread success of community
policing and the vast progress made by the law enforcement field in embracing this philosophy. As of
2013, the COPS office has distributed more than two million topic specified publications, training
curricula, white papers, and resource CDs. By the end of 2013, they had funded approximately
125,000 additional officers for more than 13,000 of the nation s 18,000 law enforcement agencies
across the country. Nearly 700,000 law enforcement personnel, community members, and government
leaders have been trained through COPS Office funded training organizations. Here s a glimpse into
what the COPS office has in store for 2018. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2018, the COPS Office requests a
total of $218,000,000; included in that total is $207 million for the COPS Hiring Program (CHP) to

Most people take the simple things in life for granted. But for others those simple things are great
struggles. Things like social skills and staying focused are struggles for people with autism. When you
look up the definition of autism the most common thing that pops up is Difficulties in social
interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors (What is Autism?). But the
difficulties for people with autism vary with each type they have. In the five different disorders in
ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders), there are many variations of symptoms and who it affects. The
people living with autism face hard struggles every day. Autism is a very broad word used to describe
disorders in brain development. Another word ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Symptoms vary widely with this disorder. Generally children with PDD NOS lack social skills. They
don t have language skills of those with Aspergers, but they are better than those with autistic disorder.
Individuals also have fewer repetitive behaviors than individuals with Asperger s and autistic disorder.
There is not a specified criteria for diagnosing PDD NOS because no two individuals have the exact
same symptoms. Therefore if a child is believed to be autistic but does not meet criteria for autistic
disorder or asperger s then they will be diagnosed with PDD NOS (Autism Spectrum Disorders).
Autistic Disorder is the next level of ASDs. Children with autistic disorder have more severe
impairments in social and language skills, and repetitive behaviors. Also, often an individual with
autistic disorder will have mental retardation and seizures. (Autism Spectrum Disorders) A rare form
of ASD is Rett syndrome. This syndrome affects mostly girls; one in 10,000 to 15,000 girls will
develop this syndrome. Rett syndrome is caused by genetic mutation. It occurs randomly and is not
inherited. Signs and symptoms of this syndrome occur between six and eighteen months of birth. The
childs head growth slows down rapidly, the child stops responding socially, and the child loses
language skills. (Autism Spectrum Disorders) The most severe and least common form of ASD

In the context of a patient seeking answers to medical concerns a patient may fear for example that
pain is due to cancer because a loved one died of cancer. This fear will tend to influence their search
for information and the interpretation of that information from books, the Internet, and even doctors.
Patients will tend to accept any data that confirms their fear and reject or disproportionately
undervalue that which does not support their fear. Confirmation bias is among the most common type
of cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning. It likely has lead to the polarization of
political views that is seen in the world today. The effect of confirmation bias is stronger for
emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. People tend to interpret ambiguous data
as supporting their pre existing belief. This bias also is evident in belief perseverance (when beliefs
persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false), the irrational primacy effect (a greater
reliance on information encountered early in a series) and illusory correlation (when people falsely
perceive an association between two events or situations). It is simple to tell someone to keep an open
mind to avoid confirmation bias but in truth this is quite difficult to do in practice. A patient may
combat this tendency by educating themselves in proper reasoning and taking care to garner

7. Federal Funds On The State Of The Economy Essay

Federal Funds Rate
The Federal Funds Rate plays a huge role on the state of the economy in the United States. For
something that has such impact on the whole economy in the United States, it is very little known and
understood. The Federal Funds Rate may be the most important rate in the country. So what is the
Federal Funds Rate? It is an interest rate that is used when banks lend to other banks or other
depository institutions from funds that are maintained at the Federal Reserve (Target Rate). The
transaction can only be done overnight and by trustworthy institutions. The target rate is determined
by the Federal Open Market Committee (Target Rate). They will influence and determine the rate that
will be used. So if it doesn t have any first hand impact on a normal consumer or business, why should
anyone care about it? The answer to that is simple, the Federal Funds Rate will greatly impact the
economy in several areas and it will trickle down onto the normal consumer and business. The Federal
Funds Rate will change the economy if it goes up, and if it goes down. As the year runs down,
everyone will be watching with a close eye to see what the Fed will do with the rate. The Federal
Funds Rate will increase in December of 2016. Why will the Federal Funds Rate increase by the end
of the year? One reason to believe this is that the current chair Janet Yellen is not afraid to do so, as

The Aesthetics of Kant and Hegel
The theories of art put forward by Immanuel Kant (1724 1804) and G.W.F. Hegel (1770 1831) have
long been seen to represent two rival positions which nonetheless arise from a distinctive tradition of
German philosophy. In both cases, a concern with problems of art and beauty represents only one part
of their respective philosophical systems. It is this larger, theoretical framework which lends both
theories their characteristic breadth and range of interest. Whilst Kant s name has principally been
associated with the development of a formalist aesthetics, Hegel is seen to represent an ... Show more

Central to his view of aesthetic judgment is the concept of purposiveness. This refers to the fact that
we must assume a certain coherence and connection among the appearances of the external world or
nature so that we can reflect coherently upon it. We presuppose a harmony between nature and our
cognitive powers, as if they were suited or adapted to each other. It is this presumed harmony, which
Kant calls purposiveness, which gives us pleasure. According to Kant, when we make an aesthetic
judgment, we make a judgment about the form of an object (not its content as given through our
senses); the object s form gives rise to pleasure because it exhibits a harmony with our cognitive
powers, namely our understanding and imagination. We then call the object
beautiful and our ability to judge the object by such a pleasure is taste . An aesthetic judgment is not a
judgment of cognition; it does not refer to the object and gives us no knowledge of it. It refers only to
the perceiving subject, to our self and its feeling of pleasure or displeasure. It tells us only about how
we, as subjects, are affected by our mental representation of the

The whole town came together and tried to make a change in society and fight for their rights. The

would not be able to get to their jobs which were necessary for them to make money. Car owners were
asked to lend their vehicles to the MIA carpool so that other people could drive them around town. For
most people especially if they had little money, having a car was a proud symbol of status. Letting
total strangers drive one s car around all day was a hard thing to ask, but nearly two hundred people
turned over their keys to the boycott (Hoose 75). Many people took part in the boycott and did
everything they could to receive equal rights on the buses. Some people were willing to fight even
harder than just borrowing cars, they began to walk everywhere they went. Family members made
enormous sacrifices and sometimes even hobbled home with barely enough energy to eat supper. And
family chores like shopping had to continue. That meant more steps. The foot weary warriors told
their stories at meetings, inspiring and encouraging one another to keep walking (Hoose 76). The

10. The Importance Of Culture On The Culture Of Nepal
Pre interation
Nepal is known to be a multi religious country with religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Muslim,
Christianity and other religions found there. However, 80 percent of the population of Nepal practices
Hinduism. Which leads me to believe that the Hinduism has to have a great impact on the culture of
Nepal. Hinduism is a male dominated religion and women often play a secondary role. There are
many restrictive conditions that a Nepali Hindu woman has to live by. However, there is
overwhelming respect for women because they considered gifts from the gods and aspects of pure
energy. Hindus believe in the idea of karma and rebirth, the idea that each is reincarnated so that the
soul can be purified.

Upon getting this assignment I immediately thought of doing it on Nepal s culture. I had been
intrigued each time my co worker, Aastha, would share her stories about her home. I presumed this
would be the perfect opportunity to learn more their practices. I believe they are some similarities
between Nepali and Haitian culture in the sense that both could be viewed as having stricter values
than the western culture that most of us is familiar with. But more importantly the way that religion is
embedded within the culture is the most comparable. I believe that s where the similarities ended and

11. US Income Tax Case Study
The United States enacted IRC 385 in 1969, which gave tax authorities the power to determine if
intercompany loans were, in substance, equity investments. The tax authorities believed then that
characterising intercompany loans as equity would resolve the thin capitalisation issue. If the IRS
could deem intercompany loans to be investments, it could treat the interest payments as dividends,
which are not tax deductible. However, the tax authorities eventually determined these tools were
inadequate. In 1989, Congress enacted (IRC) section 163(j) to address the concern of US earnings
being stripped out in the form of interest payments on debt by a U.S. subsidiary to its foreign parent
company. The concern was that the U.S. subsidiary would receive a U.S. tax deduction that reduces its
U.S. taxable income while the interest paid to the foreign based parent corporation may not be subject
to U.S. withholding tax (or subject to a reduced rate) under various income tax treaties.

An example that clearly shows how shared knowledge can shape personal knowledge is the social
psychological study of conformity, Leon Festinger (1954) . Leon stated that humans, through the use
of social comparison, judge their own feelings and ideas. To be more specific and simple, humans
observe what others do and act accordingly using any parts of ways of knowing. It is widely known
among the psychologists that according to social comparison theory, when a person finds out that
another person is not thinking and behaving the same way as you do, it causes anxiety; thus called
cognitive dissonance by Leon Festinger. For example, while all of your friends at school like a certain
sport and share a some knowledge in that sport, such as football or baseball, and you do not, you may
feel as if you are left out and somewhat odd. Due to reason and emotion, you may choose to perform

16. Comparison Of Alexander Pushkin And Robert Frost
Therese Youso
ENG 312: Lyric Poetry
Sr. Mary Dominic, O.P.
April 28, 2015
Alexander Pushkin and Robert Frost both have written poems about autumn. There is a correlation
between these two poems since they share many romantic features. Autumn and After Apple Picking
are both alike and different in many ways. Alexander Pushkin was born in Moscow, Russia and lived
from 1799 until 1837. He wrote from a very young age, not only writing poetry, but also dramas and
novels. He died in a duel when he was 39 years old. Autumn is a poem that contains many of the
elements of romanticism. The first quality is feelings. This whole poem oozes the feelings of Pushkin.
The first line is October comes at last. The feeling of relief is obvious, and there is a sense of an event
finally coming. It is as if his patience was being tested and wearing thin. He could hardly wait for
autumn. In the second stanza he writes, This is my time! What is the spring to me? Spring makes me
ill: my mind is never free from dizzy dreams, my blood s in constant ferment. He clearly does not like
the spring season at all. It is boring and there is a tone of disgust. He compares the fun and excitement
of winter. There is definitely a large range between the way he feels about what spring brings and
what winter brings. Winter is almost bearable to Pushkin. Winter is fun. He enjoys the activities and
cold weather of the winter. In stanza four, he writes, O, summer fair! I would have loved you too,

17. Social Issues In The Walking Dead By Richard Kirkman
In the graphic novel, The Walking Dead by Richard Kirkman (writer), Tony Moore (art) and Cliff
Rathburn (gray tones) introduce us to see how it is to survive in the zombie apocalypse, where the
main story is not about the zombies themselves but the survivors. This is where a neighbor may turn
into a walker (slang of zombies, and infected) and probably they should consider murdering him or
her with an unsharpened object. This blunt object, the horrendous zombies, and the expressions of the
characters are well represented by Tony Moore through the art in this book. Kirkman shows us that
there are social issues between the survivors. Through his story, Kirkman tells us that in a post
apocalyptic world, there is no administration, there is no law implementation, money has no value,
there is no 911 to call and there is no characterized social structure. The only they have is family
members, friends, and strangers.
The social issues that take place revolve around Rick understanding that his wife Laurie has been
unfaithful. Shane is Rick s best friend and Laurie has reservations about the relations continuing. In
fact, Laurie has stated that the night with Shane was a mistake. Shane becomes aggressive with Rick
regarding an argument that resulted in Shane telling Rick to shut up about everything. When

eating away his soul was to publicly proclaim his guilt. To him, nothing short of a total change of
dynasty and moral code in that interior kingdom was adequate to account for the impulses now
communicated. (Hawthorne
205). When he acknowledged Pearl as his own during the Election Day speech, he shone a little light
into the darkness of his guilt. Sadly, even in this moment of revelation, the sin that had become his
cross for seven long years finally ended his life. While pain and shame had been merely earthly
penances, death was the final judge.
Unlike Dimmesdale s internal suffering, John Proctor was martyred as a result of vengeance. Abigail
Williams, his young lover, used the accusation of witchcraft to get rid of Elizabeth Proctor, the only
person keeping her from Proctor s love. Although she never confessed her intentions, they were quite
clear: Oh, John, I will make such a wife when the world is white again! You will be amazed to see me

21. A Research Study On The Null And Alternative Hypothesis
There are a variety of topics that are interesting in life. This interest may then become a point of
inquisition, where an individual may formulate a relationship between two variables, which may or
may not influence each other. Next, a hypothesis is formed and tested. In this same manner, a school
educator was interested in determining the potential relationship between grade point average (GPA)
and IQ scores among ninth graders. The educator random sampled 30 ninth graders, ages 14 years old
and administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Fourth Edition (WISC IV). This writer
will be expanding further on this topic and will formulate the null and alternative hypothesis, describe
the four scales of measurement, describe whether if there is a correlation significant (positive,
negative, or no correlation) enough between both variables, describe the strength of the relationship,
describe what the results reveals about the hypothesis, and what conclusions can be drawn from the
results.
Null and alternative hypothesis The null hypothesis would reflect as if there is no difference between
both variables (Malec Newman, 2013). The null hypothesis would indicate that there is no relationship
between GPA and IQ. The alternative hypothesis would indicate another option, which is contrary to
the null and may or may not be directional (Malec Newman, 2013). The alternative hypothesis would

Of all the international film industries across the globe Hong Kong is certainly one that is synonyms

that when discussing Hong Kong cinema as a whole, genre seems to be a frequent and integral part of

figure in all of East Asian cinema, relying heavily on exporting its films to Mainland China and
Taiwan, as well as local box office sales. Ding Tzann Lii describes this relationship as one of marginal
imperialism and compares the Hong Kong industries hold over East Asia to that of Hollywood s over
the rest of the world. (1998: 125) However, with such a large demand for product Hong Kong has
struggled to produce enough films each year to maintain its industries growth. Production rapidly

24. The Importance Of Plants In Human Life
Plants are important life forms belonging to the taxonomic kingdom Plantae and are classified further
by the hierarchical system to group similar plants together. Taxonomy is described as the method by
which scientists, conservationists, and naturalists classify and organize the vast diversity of living
things on this planet in an effort to understand the evolutionary relationships between them
(Fenneman, 2017). How a plant is classified can be a clue to the uses for that plant in regards to
human life. Historically, plants have played a vast role in the everyday lives of humans. Indigenous
peoples have used over a thousand different plants for food, medicine, materials, and in cultural rituals
and mythology (Szczawinski and Turner, 1978 80). People mainly consumed root vegetables and
green vegetables. Fruits, nuts, seeds, berries, and mushrooms were also traditionally used as a source
of food. Plants also contributed in the development of many different medicines throughout history.
Plant parts were often combined with herbs to create cures for many ailments. Herbal medicines were
sometimes associated with ritual and in many cultures herbal curing and ritual curing were often
performed together (Szczawinski and Turner, 1978 80). Plants have played a very important role in
helping to preserve the human race, from building our homes to supplying us with the most essential

Current available Allied aircraft greatly exceeds available German air power in France. At present,
they possess no more than 1,950 aircraft of all types. Of these, no more than 855 are believed to be
capable of being deployed to oppose the invasion. Even if they field the full number, they will still be
vastly outnumbered by our current force of 10,521 aircraft, ensuring total air supremacy. Conclusion:
It is unlikely that the Germans will be able to compromise the landings via the air. Consideration
should be made for how to best maximize this advantage. b. Option One: Following the establishment
of secure beachheads, and zones of liberation, the Allied air forces could conduct deep penetration
raids against German targets in order to divert and distract the attention of the enemy across multiple
fronts, relieving pressure on Allied forces as they advance through France. c. Option Two: Maintain

After his experiences, Siddhartha comprehends that he is not capable of individualistic love and
decides to abandon Kamala. Later, he meets her again, but now she is not alone. While Kamala takes a
journey with her son to visit the dying Buddha, she gets bitten by a poisonous snake and perishes. He
loses Kamala s love but hopes to gain the love of his son. Unfortunately, he never does. Siddhartha
treats his son with consideration and respect although he realizes the boy has been spoiled by a
wealthy lifestyle. He unsuccessfully tries to win over the love of his son, but his love is not mutual.
Young Siddhartha soon runs away towards the village to continue his life without his controlling
father. Although Siddhartha understands that he must let him go, his love for his son is overwhelming;
he cannot bear to let the boy go. After speaking with Vasudeva, the Ferryman, and learning from the
river, Siddhartha learns to accept the loss of love. Now, Siddhartha has gained wisdom and
understanding of love universal love. Enlightenment cannot exist without love, for love is the most
important thing in the world (Hesse 147). Through Kamala and his son he has learned that one must
love the world, not despise it (Hesse 147). At first, love is portrayed as an immoral feeling and thought
of as an obstacle in his journey to reach Nirvana. Later, Siddhartha learns that one must love to

4 The fourth kind of license and the most important in relation to the unique factors that a court in
Northern Ireland will take into consideration in distinguishing between a lease and a license is a
contractual licence. A contractual licence which is more relevant in this case is in effect permission to
use or occupy land or property, this type of licence derives from an implied contract. The licensee
does not have a legal estate however, A license normally infers occupational rights similar to that a
hotel owner has over a guest, due to the level of control that the hotel owner exercises over their
property the guest will not have an exclusive possession of the room they occupy and are seen
ultimately as lodgers or a licensee.
While there are the four different forms of licence it is vital to note that it is a very basic different
between all four which has been recognised law for a long time. If we view a licence in a historical
context we see it has long been established that is does not grant exclusive possession. Property

A Study of the Popular Mind. He was greatly influenced in what he saw during this revolutionary
uprising and analyzed the actions of crowds and the way they acted differently than the individuals
within them would (Wikipedia, n.d.). The individuals in the crowd lose their conscience personality
and adopt the thoughts and actions of the psychological crowd. Le Bon points out that the size of a

Why does Beowulf boast? Beowulf boasts because he believes he is more powerful and more valuable
than the rest of the people. When Unferth told Beowulf that he boasts about things he shouldn t,
Beowulf defends himself by continuing boasting. He goes on to say that the things he does are
difficult for the average and he is stronger than given credit for. He says this when he says that the
simple truth is that no man swims in the sea as I can. He takes one of his powerful qualities and rubs it
into the people s faces. He continues to describe all the powerful things he did in the sea, he states that
he put his life at stake when he entered the sea. He swam with a sword and was ready at any moment
to fight off a whale, shark, or any other sea creature. He boasts that even when a monster did manage
to catch him and take him to the bottom of the sea, he was wise enough to stab the monster in the heart
on his first try. He continues to brag about how he was capable of killing nine sea monsters. Beowulf
is very self centered and proud of his accomplishments and he believes everyone else should be too.
How is boasting viewed in Beowulf s day?
In Beowulf s time period, boasting was viewed very differently than the way boasting is viewed in
