The digital representation of information often involves a tradeoff between the amount of storage required and the precision of the representation. Some kinds of information have no exact digital representation. Identify one type of information that is typically given an approximate digital representation. Briefly explain why this is the case. What are the common approximations, and how close are they? In what situations is this approximation a problem? .

The CTO appreciated the analysis performed between the cloud service providers (Amazon, Google, and Microsoft).
She has decided to proceed with an
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud
.
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables you to launch AWS resources into a virtual network that you've defined. This virtual network closely resembles a traditional network that you'd operate in your own data center, with the benefits of using the scalable infrastructure of AWS.
To begin, the CEO would like you to provision two subnets.
One subnet will be for the developers (Subnet A), which will be provisioned with 146.38.70.105/20.
The second subnet will for the marketing department (Subnet B), which will be provisioned with 215.16.52.119/19.

And some additional info about the paper: (gratefully adapted from an email the other TA., Prof, Colebrook, send to students in his recitations)
What's the paper about?
As Dr. Appiah discussed in class today, for this final paper, you're being given a wide latitude to write an in-depth, argumentative essay on the subject of your choosing. The only limitations are that (1) it must be about gender, human rights, or economic inequality, either in a national or international context, and (2) it must include some of the philosophical thought of at least two of the traditions we've covered (Confucian, Islamic, or "Western"/Liberal).
How will I be grading it?
I will use the same rubric I used to evaluate the midterm papers for this essay. You can consult your midterm papers for details on this.
Where do I start?
Here are a few pointers on how to get started. (None of what I say here is
necessary
for the paper, just suggestions).
1. Start with a specific human right or moral claim. The
UDHR
is a great place to begin.
2. Pick a human right. For example, the UDHR guarantees the right to freedom of religion.
3. Pick two or three of the traditions we've covered. In my case, I'd compare, say, a liberal perspective on freedom of religion and an Islamic perspective on freedom of religion.
4. Formulate a thesis. For example, "in this paper, I will argue that freedom of religion, conceived of as a human right guaranteed in the UDHR, is both (a) a non-negotiable element of human dignity and (b) incompatible with basic Koranic obligations and the Islamic tradition of commanding and forbidding." This thesis should be
argumentative
. You ought to take a stand, and argue in favor of one perspective's interpretation or for your own new perspective. Papers that simply list what each tradition would say on an issue would be inadequate. In formulating your thesis, remember that the narrower your thesis, the easier it will be to defend. Narrow theses are the bread and butter of philosophy papers!
5. Assemble the textual support for this thesis. Go through the syllabus and compile each of the articles that we've covered that is relevant to this thesis - both the required and supplemental readings.
6. Reference your notes for broad outlines of arguments that are relevant to your thesis. In this case, I'd want to use at least Kant, Rawls, and Singer to put together an argument for (a) above, and Cook's work to put together the argument for (b) above.
7. As you're putting together these arguments, refer back to the texts we've covered t.
The CRM implementation of the project has been underway for 3 months.docx
The CRM implementation of the project has been underway for 3 months. Ben has been reviewing the invoices from the IT vendor that is providing design and programming services for the CRM implementation. Ben is working with this vendor on a number of different projects, and there are a handful of people that work on multiple projects for him, including the CRM implementation. He just told you that there are some problems with the invoices, and he is not sure what to do about them.
George is working on the CRM implementation and 2 other smaller projects. His hours look okay when Ben first looks at them. However, when Ben adds up George's hours for the past month across all 3 projects, they total more than 65 hours per week. Ben knows that George is barely on-site more than 4 hours per day and does not feel that George is producing anything close to 65 hours of work.
Two hours per day were billed for Louise for 1 week when she was on vacation. As far as Ben knows, Louise was not invited to any project conference calls nor was there any critical project e-mails sent to her during that time.
The rate for Betsy increased by 15% half-way through the second invoice. No explanation was given.
Nothing was billed for Ron his entire first month on the project.

THE CRISIS A DECADE LATERLehman’s Last Hires LookBack.docx
THE CRISIS: A DECADE LATER
Lehman’s Last Hires Look
Back
Four people who started at Lehman Brothers the day it
failed reflect on the lessons they’ve learned.
By Corrie Driebusch
September 15, 2008, was one of the darkest days in the
history of Wall Street. For four new college graduates,
it was also their first day of work at Lehman Brothers
Holdings Inc.
Sohil Sheth, Luvleen Sidhu, Justin Gaines and Brian
Grossman walked through the doors of Lehman just as
the venerable investment bank filed for bankruptcy
protection, an event that sent shockwaves around the
globe. The aftershocks continue to define many aspects
of American life a decade later.
The crisis provided these unlucky millennials with a
new perspective. Big institutions were no longer
infallible. Wall Street no longer offered a guaranteed
career path. Life was more fragile than they knew.
One thing was certain: Their world would never again
look the same.Sohil Sheth
Works for Boston technology firm Harding Point
Works for Boston technology firm Harding Point
My junior year at Amherst, everyone was trying to get
an internship in New York at a bank, and I got one with
Lehman’s investment management division. All we
heard from executives was that Lehman was going to
be the next Goldman Sachs.
The summer of 2008 I moved to New York for training.
I was definitely getting nervous that maybe they would
start laying people off. But the messaging at Lehman
was ‘don’t worry.’ There’s no way the government
would let anything happen to a company as big as
Lehman.
I was preparing for a licensing exam in my apartment
on Sunday, Sept. 14, and there was a new news story
every minute. I refreshed my computer browser and all
a sudden there was a headline that Lehman declares
bankruptcy. I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach.
The next day we all went in to work, but everyone was a
zombie.
I kept working there, but this cloud was hanging over
us. I worked in the fund of hedge funds group for two
and a half years, but then got super jaded. I went to
Peru and worked for a nonprofit for almost a year.
A decade ago I defended the finance industry. Looking
back, it’s tough to be socially conscious and work in it.
I’m not saying tech is saving the world, but there’s
more practical applications that can apply to a lot of
people than just making the rich richer.Luvleen Sidhu
Co-founded digital banking startup BankMobile
I interned at Lehman after my sophomore and junior
years at Harvard. I graduated in 2008 and started six
weeks of training, and the first day on the job was the
bankruptcy. I remember contacting HR and I asked,
should I come in? I’ve locked the response in my head
because it was so unusual. The response was, ‘please
come in, it’s business as usual.’
My first day was kind of crazy, in an eerie way that we
were ignoring reality. No one was acting panicked. No
one was acting out of line, though maybe they were
behind closed doors.
For it to happen the first day of my car.

The articles discuss whether public sector workers are more risk averse than private sector workers, the types of entrepreneurship as productive, unproductive or destructive, entrepreneurship as a cause or consequence of development, the relationship between public ethics and entrepreneurship, models for improving government performance, and a critique of regulatory politics and entrepreneurial governance. The document concludes by asking for an essay response on the critique of entrepreneurial governance in public management.
The Criminalization of American BusinessWhat do Bank of Americ.docx
The Criminalization of American Business
What do Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs have in common? All paid hefty fines for purportedly misleading investors about mortgage-backed securities. In fact, these companies paid the government a total of $50 billion in fines. The payments were made in lieu of criminal prosecutions.
Today, several hundred thousand federal rules that apply to businesses carry some form of criminal penalty. That is in addition to more than four thousand federal laws, many of which carry criminal sanctions for their violation. From 2000 to 2019, about 3,200 corporations either were convicted or pleaded guilty to violating federal statutes or rules.
Criminal Convictions
The first successful criminal conviction in a federal court against a company—the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad—was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1909 (the violation: cutting prices). Many other successful convictions followed.
One landmark case developed the
aggregation test
, now called the Doctrine of Collective Knowledge. This test aggregates the omissions and acts of two or more persons in a corporation, thereby constructing an
actus reus
and a
mens rea
out of the conduct and knowledge of several individuals.
Not all government attempts at applying criminal law to corporations survive. Courts have sometimes found insufficient evidence to show that a company acted with specific intent to commit a crime. Often, however, companies choose to reach settlement agreements with the government rather than fight criminal indictments.
Many Pay Substantial Fines in Lieu of Prosecution
More than four hundred corporations reached so-called non-prosecution agreements with the government from 2000 to the beginning of 2019. These agreements typically involve multimillion- or multibillion-dollar fines. This number does not include fines paid to the Environmental Protection Agency or to the Fish and Wildlife Service.
According to law professors Margaret Lemos and Max Minzner, “Public enforcers often seek large monetary awards for self-interested reasons divorced from the public interest and deterrents. The incentives are strongest when enforcement agencies are permitted to retain all or some of the proceeds of enforcement.”
Questions Presented
1)Why might a corporation’s managers agree to pay a large fine rather than to be indicted and proceed to trial?
2)How does a manager determine the optimal amount of legal research to undertake to prevent her or his company from violating the many thousands of federal regulations?

The Creation of the Ocean Floor
One scientific speculation about the beginning of ocean water declares that as Earth developed from a gas and dust cloud more than 4.5 billion years ago, an enormous quantity of insubstantial elements such as oxygen and hydrogen became confined inside the liquefied inner part of the newly formed planet (Advameg, 2013). In the course of the first few billion years following planets formation, these basic gases emerged across thousands of miles of red-hot and liquefying rock to discharge on the Earth’s surface through fissures (long narrow cracks) and volcanoes.
Inside the earth and atop the exterior, the gas hydrogen joined oxygen developing water. Massive amounts of liquid blanketed the planet as an extraordinarily heavy atmosphere of water cloud. Close to the uppermost part of the atmosphere, where high temperature may possibly dissipate to outward reaches of the earth, water vapor concentrated to a liquid form and dropped into the stratum below, chilling the level. This atmospheric cool down procedure lasted till the initial precipitation dropped to the planet’s young exterior and flared into a misty haze. This came to pass as the creation of an astonishing downpour that through the course of time, progressively filled the ocean cavities.
There are three major classes of tectonic plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, covergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. The divergent boundaries outstanding features are fresh crust is produced as two or more plates tear away from one other. Oceans are generated and grow broader where plates deviate or pull apart. Seafloor expanding is a process in which the molten rock produces new ground underneath water. This progression takes millions of years to establish a 10 foot hill because growth fluctuates from two to 10 centimeters yearly. The convergent boundaries outstanding features are here crust is demolished and reprocessed back into the inside of the Earth as one plate descents under another. These are recognized as Subduction Zones - volcanoes and mountains are often discovered where plates come together. The kinds of volcanoes that can occur depend on the chemical composition of the molten rock that decides its fluidity. There are three kinds of convergent boundaries: Oceanic-Continental Convergence, Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence, and Continental-Continental Convergence (Platetectonics, 2010). The transform boundaries outstanding features are when two plates are skimming parallel by each other. These are additionally identified as transform boundaries or in addition normally called faults. The San Andreas Fault is the best known and considered the most lethal translational line.
One natural event that occurs as a direct result of plate boundary interactions is a tsunami. Plate tectonics are the secondary trigger of tsunamis. When a maj.

ABSTRACT. Most of the attention in the last few decades in the human services field has been on the development of culturally competent practice with little attention to the context of this practice. This analysis and case study focuses on the organizational context of social service practitioners seeking to respond effectively to an increasingly diverse client population. Specific attention is given to the development of a working definition of a culturally responsive social service agency. This definition is used to assess a case study of a public sector county social service agency that has a substantial history in promoting culturally responsive practices. The implications for future management practices are noted in the conclusion.

INTRODUCTION
Since the War on Poverty in the 1960s, social service organizations have been searching for ways to become responsive to the cultural diversity of their client populations. Beginning in the 1970s, concerted attention was given to helping agency staff members become more culturally aware (Green, 1999), more culturally knowledgeable (Cox & Ephross, 1998; Davis & Proctor, 1989; Harrison & Wodarski, 1992), and recently more culturally competent (Devore & Schlesinger, 1999; Fong & Furuto, 2001; Leigh, 1998; Lum, 2003). With regard to training.
The cult of Machismo (masculine superiority) appeared early in Latin.docx
The assigned reading discusses how the cult of machismo promoted masculine superiority in early Latin America, yet many colonial families contradicted this stereotype. The culture box "Elite Women and Economic Power" on page 24 presents evidence that some elite women held significant economic power and did not always conform to expected gender roles.

Dunham’s character Hannah Horvath,

with vigor and clarity—not unlike the

compared and to whom the book is
dedicated (along with Dunham’s family

pithy, pseudo-motivational observations
at the reader, Dunham has crafted warm,
intelligent writing that is both deeply
personal and engaging, clustered in five
topical sections: “Love & Sex,” “Body,”
“Friendship,” “Work” and “Big Picture.”
Each of the 29 pieces—essays mixed
with lists, like “18 Unlikely Things I’ve

and instead offering intense self-

can almost overwhelm with truthiness,
as in “Barry,” her glancing, tragicomic
account of being raped by a “mustachioed

nonconsensual acts, removes his condom
without her permission or knowledge.
“A sexual encounter that no one can
classify properly” sounds precisely like
a voice of her generation, one struggling
to come to terms with rape culture.
(And yet, “I feel like there are fifty ways
it’s my fault . . . But I also know that at no

(Received 3 January 2012; final version received 3 May 2012)
Although the so-called ‘CSI effect’ has received attention in the literature for the
influence of forensic science television on jurors’ expectations of evidence
admitted into trials, less research explores the influence of such television
programs on university students enrolled in forensic science degrees. This paper
describes the quantitative and qualitative results of a study of forensic science
students regarding the forensic-related television programs they watch, such as
CSI, Bones and Dexter. We asked students to share their impressions of the
accuracy, ethics, professionalism and role models in the programs. The results
show that forensic science students are almost universally disparaging about the
realism of these programs and have mixed impressions of how the programs
portray forensic science professionalism and ethics. Most students believed that
the programs gave an unrealistic representation of the profession to the public;
yet students were also able to identify positive elements for recruitment and
education purposes.
Keywords: forensic science; CSI effect; students; television; education; Australia
Introduction
Popular media have suggested that crime science television programs such as CSI
may influence how lay jurors consider forensic evidence during criminal trials1–8.
This influence has been described as the CSI effect and named after the popular
television drama. It is suggested that jurors confuse the capacity of forensic evidence
with the fictional idealisation of forensic evidence as portrayed on the television
program2. Goodman-Delahunty and Verbrugge4 suggest that, despite the popular
media claims, there is little objective evidence to support the notion that crime scene
dramas such as CSI have a negative impact on jury verdicts. Wise5 indicated that
there are two issues relating to the ‘CSI effect’ proposition, with each affecting either
the prosecution or defence position; (i) the jurors held an inflated value of the
forensic evidence producing guilty verdicts2–5,9, or (ii) in the absence of forensic
evidence or when the evidence failed to reach the juries’ idealised expectations the
juries would acquit2–3,5. Evidence of the influence of the CSI effect, as claimed in the
popular media, has been mixed1–9.

The Covid-19 pandemic caused a slow time during the Thanksgiving f.docx
The Covid-19 pandemic caused a slow time during the Thanksgiving festival last year. At the time, my aunt decided that since we would not be inviting family from all over, as it was tradition, we would make it into a neighborhood Thanksgiving. She invited their neighbors over; I bumped into one of their new neighbors on the block, Mr. Landry, in the kitchen while he conversed with my aunt. As I walked into the kitchen, he went silent with no eye contact, and as soon as I left the kitchen, he got back to the conversation. I overheard part of the conversation where Mr. Landry talked about Mrs. Boudreaux’s hospitalization while describing how she looked to be reeling in pain when he visited her. By that snippet of the conversation, I assumed that Mr. Landry was a gossip, only to find out later that he was a doctor in the hospital where Mrs. Boudreaux was. He was pleading with us to visit Mrs. Boudreaux and offer blood donations for her upcoming surgery. I was mortified, having learned this later.
According to the social psychology theory, individuals make first impressions based on traits, beliefs, and non-verbal cues from people one meets. Aronson et al. (2019) state that one’s traits from birth or parenting help us interpret social cues. Some of these traits include openness and being sociable is part of these traits show individuals to be social. Flynn (2005) agrees with this, reiterating that non-verbal behavior adds to first impressions on individuals. Therefore, Mr. Landry’s silence when I walked into the room and continually talking about someone else's condition without their consent triggered my perception that he was a gossip.
Increasing my reason for the first impression of Mr. Landry was his lack of eye contact on top of his silence when I walked into the kitchen (Flynn, 2005). As an adaptive response, Mr. Landry went silent because of his privileged status of revealing information to children that would later get conveyed in the proper channels.
Conclusively, Mr. Landry went silent and did not keep eye contact to remain confidential when I walked into the kitchen. However, my perception of this is that he was a gossip, furthering my first impression that was later in the day debunked when adequately explained.

The Criminal Justice System Consists of three agencies1. .docx
The Criminal Justice System Consists of three agencies:
1. Law Enforcement (Police)
2. Courts
3. Corrections
Criminal justice systems include several major subsystems, composed of one or more public institutions and their staffs: police and other law enforcement agencies;trial and appellate courts; prosecution and public defender offices; probation and parole agencies; custodial institutions (jails, prisons, reformatories, half-way houses, etc.); and departments of corrections (responsible for some or all probation, parole, and custodial functions).
The Criminal Justice components create a system when they apply their functions together looking for the same objective; to enforce justice into society. Even when the components of the Criminal Justice system are working to accomplish the same objective they work in different fields and the job of each component is very different from the others.

Leaning over the deck railing, two fishermen looked out on the
town of Hakodate stretched like a snail embracing the sea. One of
them spit out a cigarette he had smoked down to his fingertips. The
stub fell skimming the tall side of the ship, turning playfully every
which way. The man reeked of liquor.
Steamships with red bulging bellies rose from the water; others
being loaded with cargo leaned hard to one side as if tugged down
by the sea. There were thick yenow smokestacks, large bell-like
buoys, launches scurrying like bedbugs among ships. Bleak whirls
of oil soot, scraps of bread, and rotten fruit floated on the waves as
if forming some special fabric. Blown by the wind, smoke drifted
over waves wafting a stifling smell of coal. From time to time a harsh
rattle of winches traveling along the waves reverberated against the
flesh.

Directly in front of the crab cannery ship Hakkomaru rested a
sailing ship with peeling paint, its anchor chain lowered from a
in its bow that looked like an ox's nostril. Two foreign sailors with
pipes in mouth paced the deck back and forth like automatons. The
ship seemed to be Russian. No doubt it was a patrol vessel sent to keep
an eye on the Japanese cannery ship.
"I don't have a damned penny left. Shit, look:' One of the fish
ermen moved closer to the other, gripped his hand and pressed it
against the pocket of the corduroy trousers beneath his jacket. The
pocket seemed to contain a small box.
The other man silently watched his mate's face.
"He, he, he:' chuckled the first man. "They're cards:'
The ship's captain was smoking a cigarette and strolling along the
deck like an admiral. The smoke he exhaled broke into sharp angles as
it passed the tip of his nose, and flew away in shreds. Sailors draggling
wooden-soled zori were bustling in and out of the forward cabins,
food pails in hand. Preparations had been completed and the ship
was ready to sail.
The two fishermen, peering down through the hatch into workers'
quarters in the dim bottom of the ship, saw a noisy commotion inside
the stacked bunks, like a nest full of birds' darting faces. The workers
were all boys of fourteen or fifteen.
"Where're you from?"
"X District:'
They were all children from Hakodate's slums. Poverty had
brought them together.
"What about the guys in the bunks over there?"
"They're from Nambu:"
"And those?"
"Akita:' Each cluster of bunks belonged to a different region.
"Where in Akita?"

The Creativity Crisis

Back in 1958, Ted Schwarzrock was an 8-year-old third grader when he became one of the “Torrance kids,” a group of nearly 400 Minneapolis children who completed a series of creativity tasks newly designed by professor E. Paul Torrance. Schwarzrock still vividly remembers the moment when a psychologist handed him a fire truck and asked, “How could you improve this toy to make it better and more fun to play with?” He recalls the psychologist being excited by his answers. In fact, the psychologist’s session notes indicate Schwarzrock rattled off 25 improvements, such as adding a removable ladder and springs to the wheels. That wasn’t the only time he impressed the scholars, who judged Schwarzrock to have “unusual visual perspective” and “an ability to synthesize diverse elements into meaningful products.”
The accepted definition of creativity is production of something original and useful, and that’s what’s reflected in the tests. There is never one right answer. To be creative requires divergent thinking (generating many unique ideas) and then convergent thinking (combining those ideas into the best result).
In the 50 years since Schwarzrock and the others took their tests, scholars—first led by Torrance, now his colleague, Garnet Millar—have been tracking the children, recording every patent earned, every business founded, every research paper published, and every grant awarded. They tallied the books, dances, radio shows, art exhibitions, software programs, advertising campaigns, hardware innovations, music compositions, public policies (written or implemented), leadership positions, invited lectures, and buildings designed.
Nobody would argue that Torrance’s tasks, which have become the gold standard in creativity assessment, measure creativity perfectly. What’s shocking is how incredibly well Torrance’s creativity index predicted those kids’ creative accomplishments as adults. Those who came up with more good ideas on Torrance’s tasks grew up to be entrepreneurs, inventors, college presidents, authors, doctors, diplomats, and software developers. Jonathan Plucker of Indiana University recently reanalyzed Torrance’s data. The correlation to lifetime creative accomplishment was more than three times stronger for childhood creativity than childhood IQ.
Like intelligence tests, Torrance’s test—a 90-minute series of discrete tasks, administered by a psychologist—has been taken by millions worldwide in 50 languages. Yet there is one crucial difference between IQ and CQ scores. With intelligence, there is a phenomenon called the Flynn effect—each generation, scores go up about 10 points. Enriched environments are making kids smarter. With creativity, a reverse trend has just been identified and is being reported for the first time here: American creativity scores are falling.

Today, several hundred thousand federal rules that apply to businesses carry some form of criminal penalty. That is in addition to more than four thousand federal laws, many of which carry criminal sanctions for their violation. From 2000 to 2019, about 3,200 corporations either were convicted or pleaded guilty to violating federal statutes or rules.
Criminal Convictions
The first successful criminal conviction in a federal court against a company—the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad—was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1909 (the violation: cutting prices). Many other successful convictions followed.
One landmark case developed the
aggregation test
, now called the Doctrine of Collective Knowledge. This test aggregates the omissions and acts of two or more persons in a corporation, thereby constructing an
actus reus
and a
mens rea
out of the conduct and knowledge of several individuals.
Not all government attempts at applying criminal law to corporations survive. Courts have sometimes found insufficient evidence to show that a company acted with specific intent to commit a crime. Often, however, companies choose to reach settlement agreements with the government rather than fight criminal indictments.
Many Pay Substantial Fines in Lieu of Prosecution
More than four hundred corporations reached so-called non-prosecution agreements with the government from 2000 to the beginning of 2019. These agreements typically involve multimillion- or multibillion-dollar fines. This number does not include fines paid to the Environmental Protection Agency or to the Fish and Wildlife Service.
According to law professors Margaret Lemos and Max Minzner, “Public enforcers often seek large monetary awards for self-interested reasons divorced from the public interest and deterrents. The incentives are strongest when enforcement agencies are permitted to retain all or some of the proceeds of enforcement.”
Questions Presented
1)Why might a corporation’s managers agree to pay a large fine rather than to be indicted and proceed to trial?
2)How does a manager determine the optimal amount of legal research to undertake to prevent her or his company from violating the many thousands of federal regulations?

The Creation of the Ocean Floor
One scientific speculation about the beginning of ocean water declares that as Earth developed from a gas and dust cloud more than 4.5 billion years ago, an enormous quantity of insubstantial elements such as oxygen and hydrogen became confined inside the liquefied inner part of the newly formed planet (Advameg, 2013). In the course of the first few billion years following planets formation, these basic gases emerged across thousands of miles of red-hot and liquefying rock to discharge on the Earth’s surface through fissures (long narrow cracks) and volcanoes.
Inside the earth and atop the exterior, the gas hydrogen joined oxygen developing water. Massive amounts of liquid blanketed the planet as an extraordinarily heavy atmosphere of water cloud. Close to the uppermost part of the atmosphere, where high temperature may possibly dissipate to outward reaches of the earth, water vapor concentrated to a liquid form and dropped into the stratum below, chilling the level. This atmospheric cool down procedure lasted till the initial precipitation dropped to the planet’s young exterior and flared into a misty haze. This came to pass as the creation of an astonishing downpour that through the course of time, progressively filled the ocean cavities.
There are three major classes of tectonic plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, covergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. The divergent boundaries outstanding features are fresh crust is produced as two or more plates tear away from one other. Oceans are generated and grow broader where plates deviate or pull apart. Seafloor expanding is a process in which the molten rock produces new ground underneath water. This progression takes millions of years to establish a 10 foot hill because growth fluctuates from two to 10 centimeters yearly. The convergent boundaries outstanding features are here crust is demolished and reprocessed back into the inside of the Earth as one plate descents under another. These are recognized as Subduction Zones - volcanoes and mountains are often discovered where plates come together. The kinds of volcanoes that can occur depend on the chemical composition of the molten rock that decides its fluidity. There are three kinds of convergent boundaries: Oceanic-Continental Convergence, Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence, and Continental-Continental Convergence (Platetectonics, 2010). The transform boundaries outstanding features are when two plates are skimming parallel by each other. These are additionally identified as transform boundaries or in addition normally called faults. The San Andreas Fault is the best known and considered the most lethal translational line.
One natural event that occurs as a direct result of plate boundary interactions is a tsunami. Plate tectonics are the secondary trigger of tsunamis. When a maj.

ABSTRACT. Most of the attention in the last few decades in the human services field has been on the development of culturally competent practice with little attention to the context of this practice. This analysis and case study focuses on the organizational context of social service practitioners seeking to respond effectively to an increasingly diverse client population. Specific attention is given to the development of a working definition of a culturally responsive social service agency. This definition is used to assess a case study of a public sector county social service agency that has a substantial history in promoting culturally responsive practices. The implications for future management practices are noted in the conclusion.

INTRODUCTION
Since the War on Poverty in the 1960s, social service organizations have been searching for ways to become responsive to the cultural diversity of their client populations. Beginning in the 1970s, concerted attention was given to helping agency staff members become more culturally aware (Green, 1999), more culturally knowledgeable (Cox & Ephross, 1998; Davis & Proctor, 1989; Harrison & Wodarski, 1992), and recently more culturally competent (Devore & Schlesinger, 1999; Fong & Furuto, 2001; Leigh, 1998; Lum, 2003). With regard to training.

(Received 3 January 2012; final version received 3 May 2012)
Although the so-called ‘CSI effect’ has received attention in the literature for the
influence of forensic science television on jurors’ expectations of evidence
admitted into trials, less research explores the influence of such television
programs on university students enrolled in forensic science degrees. This paper
describes the quantitative and qualitative results of a study of forensic science
students regarding the forensic-related television programs they watch, such as
CSI, Bones and Dexter. We asked students to share their impressions of the
accuracy, ethics, professionalism and role models in the programs. The results
show that forensic science students are almost universally disparaging about the
realism of these programs and have mixed impressions of how the programs
portray forensic science professionalism and ethics. Most students believed that
the programs gave an unrealistic representation of the profession to the public;
yet students were also able to identify positive elements for recruitment and
education purposes.
Keywords: forensic science; CSI effect; students; television; education; Australia
Introduction
Popular media have suggested that crime science television programs such as CSI
may influence how lay jurors consider forensic evidence during criminal trials1–8.
This influence has been described as the CSI effect and named after the popular
television drama. It is suggested that jurors confuse the capacity of forensic evidence
with the fictional idealisation of forensic evidence as portrayed on the television
program2. Goodman-Delahunty and Verbrugge4 suggest that, despite the popular
media claims, there is little objective evidence to support the notion that crime scene
dramas such as CSI have a negative impact on jury verdicts. Wise5 indicated that
there are two issues relating to the ‘CSI effect’ proposition, with each affecting either
the prosecution or defence position; (i) the jurors held an inflated value of the
forensic evidence producing guilty verdicts2–5,9, or (ii) in the absence of forensic
evidence or when the evidence failed to reach the juries’ idealised expectations the
juries would acquit2–3,5. Evidence of the influence of the CSI effect, as claimed in the
popular media, has been mixed1–9.
Although the so-called CSI effect has received attention in the literature for the

The Covid-19 pandemic caused a slow time during the Thanksgiving f.docx
The Covid-19 pandemic caused a slow time during the Thanksgiving festival last year. At the time, my aunt decided that since we would not be inviting family from all over, as it was tradition, we would make it into a neighborhood Thanksgiving. She invited their neighbors over; I bumped into one of their new neighbors on the block, Mr. Landry, in the kitchen while he conversed with my aunt. As I walked into the kitchen, he went silent with no eye contact, and as soon as I left the kitchen, he got back to the conversation. I overheard part of the conversation where Mr. Landry talked about Mrs. Boudreaux’s hospitalization while describing how she looked to be reeling in pain when he visited her. By that snippet of the conversation, I assumed that Mr. Landry was a gossip, only to find out later that he was a doctor in the hospital where Mrs. Boudreaux was. He was pleading with us to visit Mrs. Boudreaux and offer blood donations for her upcoming surgery. I was mortified, having learned this later.
According to the social psychology theory, individuals make first impressions based on traits, beliefs, and non-verbal cues from people one meets. Aronson et al. (2019) state that one’s traits from birth or parenting help us interpret social cues. Some of these traits include openness and being sociable is part of these traits show individuals to be social. Flynn (2005) agrees with this, reiterating that non-verbal behavior adds to first impressions on individuals. Therefore, Mr. Landry’s silence when I walked into the room and continually talking about someone else's condition without their consent triggered my perception that he was a gossip.
Increasing my reason for the first impression of Mr. Landry was his lack of eye contact on top of his silence when I walked into the kitchen (Flynn, 2005). As an adaptive response, Mr. Landry went silent because of his privileged status of revealing information to children that would later get conveyed in the proper channels.
Conclusively, Mr. Landry went silent and did not keep eye contact to remain confidential when I walked into the kitchen. However, my perception of this is that he was a gossip, furthering my first impression that was later in the day debunked when adequately explained.

The Criminal Justice System Consists of three agencies1. .docx
The Criminal Justice System Consists of three agencies:
1. Law Enforcement (Police)
2. Courts
3. Corrections
Criminal justice systems include several major subsystems, composed of one or more public institutions and their staffs: police and other law enforcement agencies;trial and appellate courts; prosecution and public defender offices; probation and parole agencies; custodial institutions (jails, prisons, reformatories, half-way houses, etc.); and departments of corrections (responsible for some or all probation, parole, and custodial functions).
The Criminal Justice components create a system when they apply their functions together looking for the same objective; to enforce justice into society. Even when the components of the Criminal Justice system are working to accomplish the same objective they work in different fields and the job of each component is very different from the others.

"BUDDY, WE'RE OFF TO HELL!"
Leaning over the deck railing, two fishermen looked out on the
town of Hakodate stretched like a snail embracing the sea. One of
them spit out a cigarette he had smoked down to his fingertips. The
stub fell skimming the tall side of the ship, turning playfully every
which way. The man reeked of liquor.
Steamships with red bulging bellies rose from the water; others
being loaded with cargo leaned hard to one side as if tugged down
by the sea. There were thick yenow smokestacks, large bell-like
buoys, launches scurrying like bedbugs among ships. Bleak whirls
of oil soot, scraps of bread, and rotten fruit floated on the waves as
if forming some special fabric. Blown by the wind, smoke drifted
over waves wafting a stifling smell of coal. From time to time a harsh
rattle of winches traveling along the waves reverberated against the
flesh.

21 KOBAYASHI TAKIJI 20
Directly in front of the crab cannery ship Hakkomaru rested a
sailing ship with peeling paint, its anchor chain lowered from a
in its bow that looked like an ox's nostril. Two foreign sailors with
pipes in mouth paced the deck back and forth like automatons. The
ship seemed to be Russian. No doubt it was a patrol vessel sent to keep
an eye on the Japanese cannery ship.
"I don't have a damned penny left. Shit, look:' One of the fish
ermen moved closer to the other, gripped his hand and pressed it
against the pocket of the corduroy trousers beneath his jacket. The
pocket seemed to contain a small box.
The other man silently watched his mate's face.
"He, he, he:' chuckled the first man. "They're cards:'
The ship's captain was smoking a cigarette and strolling along the
deck like an admiral. The smoke he exhaled broke into sharp angles as
it passed the tip of his nose, and flew away in shreds. Sailors draggling
wooden-soled zori were bustling in and out of the forward cabins,
food pails in hand. Preparations had been completed and the ship
was ready to sail.
The two fishermen, peering down through the hatch into workers'
quarters in the dim bottom of the ship, saw a noisy commotion inside
the stacked bunks, like a nest full of birds' darting faces. The workers
were all boys of fourteen or fifteen.
"Where're you from?"
"X District:'
They were all children from Hakodate's slums. Poverty had
brought them together.
"What about the guys in the bunks over there?"
"They're from Nambu:"
"And those?"
"Akita:' Each cluster of bunks belonged to a different region.
"Where in Akita?"
"North Akita:' The boy's nose was running with thick, oozing
mucus, and the rims of his eyes were inflamed and drooping.
"You farmers?"
"Yeah:'
The air was stifling, filled with the sour stench of rotten fruit.

Dozens of barrels of pickled vegetables were stored next door, adding
their own shit-like odor.

The Creativity Crisis

Back in 1958, Ted Schwarzrock was an 8-year-old third grader when he became one of the “Torrance kids,” a group of nearly 400 Minneapolis children who completed a series of creativity tasks newly designed by professor E. Paul Torrance. Schwarzrock still vividly remembers the moment when a psychologist handed him a fire truck and asked, “How could you improve this toy to make it better and more fun to play with?” He recalls the psychologist being excited by his answers. In fact, the psychologist’s session notes indicate Schwarzrock rattled off 25 improvements, such as adding a removable ladder and springs to the wheels. That wasn’t the only time he impressed the scholars, who judged Schwarzrock to have “unusual visual perspective” and “an ability to synthesize diverse elements into meaningful products.”
The accepted definition of creativity is production of something original and useful, and that’s what’s reflected in the tests. There is never one right answer. To be creative requires divergent thinking (generating many unique ideas) and then convergent thinking (combining those ideas into the best result).
In the 50 years since Schwarzrock and the others took their tests, scholars—first led by Torrance, now his colleague, Garnet Millar—have been tracking the children, recording every patent earned, every business founded, every research paper published, and every grant awarded. They tallied the books, dances, radio shows, art exhibitions, software programs, advertising campaigns, hardware innovations, music compositions, public policies (written or implemented), leadership positions, invited lectures, and buildings designed.
Nobody would argue that Torrance’s tasks, which have become the gold standard in creativity assessment, measure creativity perfectly. What’s shocking is how incredibly well Torrance’s creativity index predicted those kids’ creative accomplishments as adults. Those who came up with more good ideas on Torrance’s tasks grew up to be entrepreneurs, inventors, college presidents, authors, doctors, diplomats, and software developers. Jonathan Plucker of Indiana University recently reanalyzed Torrance’s data. The correlation to lifetime creative accomplishment was more than three times stronger for childhood creativity than childhood IQ.
Like intelligence tests, Torrance’s test—a 90-minute series of discrete tasks, administered by a psychologist—has been taken by millions worldwide in 50 languages. Yet there is one crucial difference between IQ and CQ scores. With intelligence, there is a phenomenon called the Flynn effect—each generation, scores go up about 10 points. Enriched environments are making kids smarter. With creativity, a reverse trend has just been identified and is being reported for the first time here: American creativity scores are falling.

The digital representation of information often involves a tradeoff .docx
- 1. The digital representation of information often involves a tradeoff between the amount of storage required and the precision of the representation. Some kinds of information have no exact digital representation. Identify one type of information that is typically given an approximate digital representation. Briefly explain why this is the case. What are the common approximations, and how close are they? In what situations is this approximation a problem?
