Contraband Detection and Control
Description
Contraband in correctional facilities includes illegal items, such as drugs and weapons, or items prohibited in the area being monitored, such as cell phones. Prison staff needs to be able to detect and confiscate contraband quickly to prevent drug abuse, violence and the commission of further crimes. Drugs and weapons pose a particular risk in prison environments, where there is a high potential for violence and drug abuse. Inmates can use cell phones to help smuggle in drugs and weapons, organize attempts to escape, or order crimes to be committed inside or outside the prison. NIJ funds the development of technologies — and technical standards for these products — to alert prisons to the presence of drugs, metallic and non-metallic weapons, cell phones, and other contraband.

Content: 5.3 Bryophytes
Bryophytes are an informal group consisting of three divisions of non-vascular land plants (embryophytes), the liverworts, hornworts and mosses. They are characteristically limited in size and prefer moist habitats although they can survive in drier environments. The bryophytes consist of about 20,000 plant species. Bryophytes produce enclosed reproductive structures (gametangia and sporangia), but they do not produce flowers or seeds. They reproduce via spores. The term “bryophyte” comes from bryon “tree-moss, oyster-green” and phyton “plant”. The defining features of bryophytes are: Their life cycles are dominated by the gametophyte stage. Their sporophytes are unbranched. They do not have a true vascular tissue containing lignin (although some have specialized tissues for the transport of water). | https://nikolaussucher.github.io/bio-two/non-vascular-plants-and-plants-without-seeds.html |

Their sporophytes are unbranched. They do not have a true vascular tissue containing lignin (although some have specialized tissues for the transport of water). Bryophytes first appeared during the early Paleozoic. They can only survive where moisture is available for significant periods, although some species are desiccation-tolerant. Most species of bryophytes remain small throughout their life-cycle. This involves an alternation between two generations: a haploid stage, called the gametophyte, and a diploid stage, called the sporophyte. | https://nikolaussucher.github.io/bio-two/non-vascular-plants-and-plants-without-seeds.html |

CompUSA, a consumer electronics retailer, went out of business back in 2007 after prices dropped on its most lucrative product, personal computers. With the rise of stores like Best Buy, CompUSA struggled to make ends meet. They eventually filed for bankruptcy and sold their 103 stores. That is, until they made a brief comeback with a revamped sales approach, which also failed. | https://nj1015.com/toys-r-us-closes-its-last-two-stores-one-in-paramus-new-jersey/ |

The Dark Continent: European Colonization in Africa
Africa was deemed “The Dark Continent” (most likely used in print for the first time by US journalist and explorer Henry Stanley – of “Dr. Livingstone I presume?” fame – in his Africa account “Through the Dark Continent”) due to the fact that it remained a mystery to Europeans for so long. While most of the world had been under European control for quite some time Africa held out until the final decades of the 19th century, when it was carved up and parceled out to the main European powers in the Berlin Conference. But even after Africa had been divvied up, in reality the majority of the continent remained largely unexplored. It was not exploited until later when various factors collided enabling Europeans to begin a systematic exploitation of Africa’s vast resources. The fact that Africa was last to be colonized also meant that it was the last to gain independence as European imperialists wanted to hang on to their African colonies long enough to get a return on the investments they had put into their various economic ventures. Most of the countries in Africa have undergone decolonization in the latter half of the 20th century. | https://njisworld.wordpress.com/mr-duells-articles/the-dark-continent-european-colonization-in-africa/ |

Most of the countries in Africa have undergone decolonization in the latter half of the 20th century. This explains in part why there are so many conflicts going on in Africa today. It is not an easy task to form an independent nation. Every country has a difficult time in its formative years. Consider the US: it was practically bankrupt after the Revolutionary War, had a number of violent rebellions and was basically a group of largely independent states unified in a lose federation in its infancy. | https://njisworld.wordpress.com/mr-duells-articles/the-dark-continent-european-colonization-in-africa/ |

A Loophole
Content: As a result, slavery was legal in Connecticut until approximately 1848. Lincoln’s Proclamation
During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, which said, “slaves within any State, or designated part of a State…in rebellion…shall be then, thenceforward and forever free.” The Proclamation was important for a number of reasons, including changing the focus of the war and putting the issue of slavery front and center. Prior to the Proclamation, President Lincoln’s main goal was to preserve the Union. With the Emancipation Proclamation, freedom from slavery became the goal as well. According to the American Battlefield Trust, issuing the Proclamation was also a tactical maneuver on Lincoln’s part, as it prevented the involvement of foreign nations (Great Britain and France) that might have helped the Confederacy. Since most Europeans were against slavery and had abolished the institution in their homelands, they would not want to aid the side fighting to preserve it. In addition, the Proclamation was a way to diminish the South’s labor force, paving the way for African Americans to fight for their own freedom. The U.S. military took in more than 200,000 former slaves, forming the United States Colored Troops. One shortcoming of the Proclamation was that it only applied to the Confederate states that were rebelling, not in the border states (Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland), which allowed slavery but had not joined the Confederacy. | https://njsbf.org/2019/10/28/thirteenth-amendment-ends-slavery-but-makes-way-for-a-different-kind/ |

Content: Taking the Fifth
The concept behind the right against self-incrimination (“nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself…”) is that individuals charged with a crime should be proven guilty. Defendants should not have to prove their innocence. The Miranda Warning, another term you may have heard of from television and movies, comes from this Fifth Amendment right. The requirement that law enforcement advise a suspect of his or her right against self-incrimination derives from the 1966 U.S. Supreme Court case of Miranda v. Arizona. Ernesto Miranda was arrested in 1963 and accused of the rape and kidnapping of an 18-year-old woman. Miranda confessed to the crime under police questioning; however, his attorney argued that Miranda wasn’t informed that he did not have to speak to police, or that he could request an attorney. The Court held in Miranda that “the prosecution may not use statements…stemming from custodial interrogation of the defendant unless it demonstrates the use of procedural safeguards effective to secure the privilege against self-incrimination.” In other words, the police are required to advise suspects in custody of their rights under the U.S. Constitution. As a result of the Court’s ruling, Miranda’s conviction was thrown out and his confession could not be used against him at his re-trial. | https://njsbf.org/2020/11/08/fifth-amendment-all-about-protecting-individual-rights/ |

As a result of the Court’s ruling, Miranda’s conviction was thrown out and his confession could not be used against him at his re-trial. Things didn’t go so well for Miranda there. Relying on other evidence against him, the prosecution secured a conviction and he was sentenced to 20-30 years in prison. The Miranda case is why we call it a Miranda Warning. It is also sometimes used as a verb, as in to Mirandize someone who is under arrest. Was the Miranda ruling needed or did it just clarify a right already granted by the Fifth Amendment? | https://njsbf.org/2020/11/08/fifth-amendment-all-about-protecting-individual-rights/ |

Content: In Mexico, the war was considered a matter of national pride. The most important consequence of the war was the Mexican Cession, in which the Mexican territories of California and New Mexico were ceded to the United States. In Mexico, the enormous loss of territory which resulted from the war encouraged the central government to enact policies to colonize its northern territories as a hedge against further losses. Contents
[ edit] Background
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna attempted to assert Mexican control over that country's most distant provinces in the years preceding the war. Prior to the Mexican-American War, what is now Texas was the northernmost province of Mexico. Texas and other northern territories of Mexico were visited by mountain men from the U.S. and tradesmen who traversed the Santa Fe Trail. U.S. citizens were already in California, coming by way of the California Trail, and U.S. ships had been exchanging goods for hides and tallow along the coast of California. For the 25 years subsequent to Mexico's independence from the Spanish Empire, this area had been a part of the first Mexican republic (1823-1861) or the First Mexican Empire (1822-1823) that preceded it. The Spanish Empire had acquired these territories by conquering of the Aztec Empire and various other Native American peoples. In the years following the Louisiana Purchase by the United States, U.S. settlers began to move westward into Spanish territory, encouraged by Spanish land grants and the United States government. | https://nlp.cs.nyu.edu/meyers/controversial-wikipedia-corpus/english-html/main/main_0486.html |

Research Methods in Social Psychology
By Rajiv Jhangiani
Kwantlen Polytechnic University
Social psychologists are interested in the ways that other people affect thought, emotion, and behavior. To explore these concepts requires special research methods. Following a brief overview of traditional research designs, this module introduces how complex experimental designs, field experiments, naturalistic observation, experience sampling techniques, survey research, subtle and nonconscious techniques such as priming, and archival research and the use of big data may each be adapted to address social psychological questions. This module also discusses the importance of obtaining a representative sample along with some ethical considerations that social psychologists face. ethics

Content: The children were tested alone, then again when paired with another child. The results? The children who performed the task in the presence of others out-reeled those that did so alone. Although Triplett’s research fell short of contemporary standards of scientific rigor (e.g., he eyeballed the data instead of measuring performance precisely; Stroebe, 2012 ), we now know that this effect, referred to as “ social facilitation ,” is reliable—performance on simple or well-rehearsed tasks tends to be enhanced when we are in the presence of others (even when we are not competing against them).

One of the things Triplett’s early experiment illustrated is scientists’ reliance on systematic observation over opinion, or anecdotal evidence.

The next step involves generating a specific testable prediction, or hypothesis (e.g., performance on simple tasks is enhanced in the presence of others). Next, scientists must operationalize the variables they are studying. This means they must figure out a way to define and measure abstract concepts. For example, the phrase “perform better” could mean different things in different situations; in Triplett’s experiment it referred to the amount of time (measured with a stopwatch) it took to wind a fishing reel. Similarly, “in the presence of others” in this case was operationalized as another child winding a fishing reel at the same time in the same room. | https://nobaproject.com/modules/research-methods-in-social-psychology |

Content: Creating specific operational definitions like this allows scientists to precisely manipulate the independent variable, or “cause” (the presence of others), and to measure the dependent variable, or “effect” (performance)—in other words, to collect data. Clearly described operational definitions also help reveal possible limitations to studies (e.g., Triplett’s study did not investigate the impact of another child in the room who was not also winding a fishing reel) and help later researchers replicate them precisely. Laboratory Research
The Asch conformity experiment, which investigated how social pressure influences individual conformity, remains a classic example of a social psychology lab experiment. [ Image: D-janous, http://goo.gl/KwuGGM, CC BY-SA 4.0, http://goo.gl/etijyD]
As you can see, social psychologists have always relied on carefully designed laboratory environments to run experiments where they can closely control situations and manipulate variables (see the NOBA module on Research Designs for an overview of traditional methods). However, in the decades since Triplett discovered social facilitation, a wide range of methods and techniques have been devised, uniquely suited to demystifying the mechanics of how we relate to and influence one another. This module provides an introduction to the use of complex laboratory experiments, field experiments, naturalistic observation, survey research, nonconscious techniques, and archival research, as well as more recent methods that harness the power of technology and large data sets, to study the broad range of topics that fall within the domain of social psychology. At the end of this module we will also consider some of the key ethical principles that govern research in this diverse field. The use of complex experimental designs, with multiple independent and/or dependent variables, has grown increasingly popular because they permit researchers to study both the individual and joint effects of several factors on a range of related situations. Moreover, thanks to technological advancements and the growth of social neuroscience, an increasing number of researchers now integrate biological markers (e.g., hormones) or use neuroimaging techniques (e.g., fMRI) in their research designs to better understand the biological mechanisms that underlie social processes. | https://nobaproject.com/modules/research-methods-in-social-psychology |

Content: Fritz Haber and Norman Borlaug saved more than a billion human lives. They created the “Green Revolution” by producing hybrid agricultural crops and synthetic fertilizer. Humanity can now produce food for the seven billion people on the planet, and the starvation that does occur is related to political and economic factors rather than our collective ability to produce food. Due to the breakthrough work of Dr. Edward Jenner, millions of vaccinations are now administered around the world every year preventing the spread of many treatable diseases while saving the lives of people of all ages.

If you examine major social and technological changes over the past century most of them can be directly attributed to science. The world in 1914 was very different than the one we see today ( Easterbrook, 2003 ). There were few cars and most people traveled by foot, horseback, or carriage. There were no radios, televisions, birth control pills, artificial hearts or antibiotics. Only a small portion of the world had telephones, refrigeration or electricity. | https://nobaproject.com/modules/why-science |

Content: All of these medical advances and technological innovations are the direct result of scientific research and understanding. In the modern age it is easy to grow complacent about the advances of science but make no mistake about it—science has made fantastic discoveries, and continues to do so. These discoveries have completely changed our world. What Is Science? What is this process we call “science,” which has so dramatically changed the world? Ancient people were more likely to believe in magical and supernatural explanations for natural phenomena such as solar eclipses or thunderstorms. By contrast, scientifically minded people try to figure out the natural world through testing and observation. Specifically, science is the use of systematic observation in order to acquire knowledge. For example, children in a science class might combine vinegar and baking soda to observe the bubbly chemical reaction. These empirical methods are wonderful ways to learn about the physical and biological world. | https://nobaproject.com/modules/why-science |

Content: 1. It enables you to struggle well
Having resilience gives you a strength you may not have thought you had. Have you ever gone through something that you swore if that ever happened to you, you just wouldn’t make it? Chances are, you pushed through, embraced the obstacle and came out on the other side. Resilience helps you to create coping mechanisms and struggle through hard times while still overcoming whatever that obstacle may be. Resilient people are empowered to struggle and find what works for them to push through and come out stronger than they were before. 2. Makes you stronger and more thankful
Personal resilience instills in individuals the ability to overcome tough times and grow stronger. After surviving a hard time, you will have learned so many lessons about yourself, your support system and your environment that you will become stronger than you were when you started. Chances are that going through these hard things and being resilient will also make you a lot more thankful for the things you have in life. | https://nobarriersusa.org/why-is-resilience-important/ |

Maintain balance when bad things happen
Resilient people may find themselves able to maintain a positive outlook on life even in the midst of chaos. Resilience enables you to use what you have and your resources to cope with your circumstances. The ability to do that helps you to maintain a balanced outlook on life no matter what you are experiencing. | https://nobarriersusa.org/why-is-resilience-important/ |

Content: People are drawn to others who are kind and look for this attribute in their romantic relationships and friendships [6]. If we think about this in a school context, it’s good to know that prosocial behavior boosts peer acceptance and popularity [3]. It also reduces the likelihood of being bullied. Kindness is contagious. Did you know that observers of a kind act may benefit, too? While witnessing a kind act, the watcher experiences a warm feeling, called elevation, which motivates them to behave positively and helpfully [1]. When you’re being nice to someone, you benefit not just the two of you; you help spread kindness. This way you influence the world for good!

Causes of Suicide
Suicide is an unfortunate occurrence that affects the United States in alarming numbers. More than 38,000 people committed suicide in the year 2013. Self-inflicted death is currently ranked number 12 in the top causes of death in America. The suicide rates seem to be the highest among males and people who are between the ages of 15 and 54. A wide range of reasons exists for suicide. Some of the most common causes of suicide are as follows:
1. Mental Illness
2. Financial Problems
3. Abuse and Bullying
4. Divorce and Family Losses
5. Death of a Loved One
6. Terminal Illness
7. Drug Abuse
8. Legal Problems

The causes of suicide are numerous and harder and harder to detect as time goes by. Understanding the causes of suicide is the first step in dealing with what causes suicide and how to deal suicide caused by bullying before it is too late. The truth is there are too many suicides caused by bullying that go unnoticed. Help your loved ones get over their potential causes of suicide today before it is too late.
Let us start a serious conversation about the causes of teenage suicide and why do antidepressants cause suicidal thoughts, weigh on the causes of suicide and the causes of teenage suicide below…
Content: Other factors that may cause such a person to have suicidal thoughts are ordinary life problems that become exaggerated because of the illness. Depressed individuals must have people in their corners who are willing to motivate them and talk them through dark moments in their lives. 2. Financial Problems
Many people commit suicide because of financial problems. Having the responsibility of taking care of a family, home and car can feel as if the weight of the world is on one’s shoulders. Workers who are abruptly fired or laid off have a tendency to commit suicide when their finances start rapidly depleting. Clinical depression rates increase as unemployment rates increase, according to a study by the American Journal of Community Psychology. Women and men who lose their jobs must have as much support and resources as people who have mental illnesses. Such support could include family assistance, spousal support and services through the unemployment office. 3. | https://nobullying.com/causes-of-suicide/ |

Teenage bullying is one of the leading causes of teenage suicide. It is the third leading cause of death in young children according to a report by the CDC. Abuse brings feelings of low self-esteem, shame and guilt that can quickly escalate to the desire to end one’s life. Without the proper care and attention, a teenager will attempt suicide. Approximately 30 percent of students who suffer though bullying in school opt to stay home to avoid the abuse. | https://nobullying.com/causes-of-suicide/ |

Content: Our society operates within a worldview that sees humans as individuals separate from one another and separate from the Earth. This worldview is more than just the story we tell ourselves about who we are. It is a predominant way of being that informs, shapes, and manifests our actions, our beliefs, the systems that organize society, and the way we relate to each other as well as our environment. And it has destructive consequences. How the Illusion of Separation Has Fueled the Environmental Crisis
When we view ourselves as separate from the Earth, we can more easily justify exploiting it for our personal gain. We see it as an object existing solely as a means to our own short-term benefit. We relate to its living systems as resources for us to use, manipulate, and dispose of when they’re no longer of use. We then start to see the Earth as having value only insofar as it can serve us and our interests. This further justifies its exploitation and destruction. For Pachamama Alliance’s Indigenous partners in the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest, the impact of the illusion of separation on the Earth is abundantly clear. | https://noetic.org/blog/interconnectedness-overlooked-solution-environmental-crisis/ |

Content: What we do has consequences to all. What we do to others, we do to ourselves. What we do to the Earth, we do to ourselves. We are not individuals living separate lives; rather, we are interdependent on each other and all come from the same source of life. Environmental sustainability, spiritual fulfillment, and social justice are not three separate issues, but rather interrelated facets of the same whole. How Embodying Interconnectedness Can Address the Environmental Crisis
When we recognize the interconnectedness of all life, we start to see connections we hadn’t seen before. And once we start seeing those connections, we have a more holistic perspective of the world and the challenges we face. We become less blind to the root causes of our problems and widespread consequences of our actions, and can create solutions that address multipronged issues that touch all aspects of society. Once we start seeing that all life is interconnected, we start to see that environmental and social issues are interrelated facets of the same crisis. | https://noetic.org/blog/interconnectedness-overlooked-solution-environmental-crisis/ |

Once we start seeing that all life is interconnected, we start to see that environmental and social issues are interrelated facets of the same crisis. Anxiety, depression, loneliness, and loss of purpose fuel our highly consumptive habits, which encourages the destruction of the Earth. Meanwhile, the exploitation of the Earth has adverse effects that disproportionately burden marginalized communities. Not only are marginalized communities more likely to live and work in places where the effects of the environmental crisis are more present, but they also have access to fewer resources to offset those impacts. Interconnectedness helps us see how a lack of spiritual fulfillment encourages habits that destroy the Earth, and in that process, we treat certain people as less valuable or even disposable. It also shows us that the solutions to these problems address not just one aspect of society, but several simultaneously. | https://noetic.org/blog/interconnectedness-overlooked-solution-environmental-crisis/ |

Content: Take educating girls, for example. At first glance, it’s not obvious how educating girls can address the environmental crisis. But educating girls gives them more autonomy over their reproductive health, provides them with the tools to obtain a higher standard of living, and presents opportunities for them to contribute more to the well-being of their communities, including the ecosystems there. As a result, girls have fewer babies who are healthier and equipped to be agents of change in their communities. Given that over 60 million girls around the world today do not have access to education, it’s easy to see how limiting opportunities for them has had disastrous results for our communities and the Earth. Embodying interconnectedness means relating to social justice and environmental justice as one interrelated issue. As Kenny Ausubel, founder of Bioneers, says, “Taking care of nature means taking care of people, and taking care of people means taking care of nature.” A New Way of Being
Recognizing the interconnectedness of all life is just the beginning. We must dedicate a lifetime to practice embodying it so that we see our well-being as integrally tied up with the well-being of the Earth.

The Complete TV & Film Genre List
This is our attempt at assembling a comprehensive movie genres list and tv genres list. These types of movies and categories are not strict. There are plenty of chances to mash them together, but much like our character archetype post, we wanted to give you the basics so you could subvert and refine as you work. Action
Action movies require stunts, set pieces, explosions, guns, and karate. They are usually about a clear hero and a clear villain. Action movie stakes are huge, like saving the world or the universe. They're often bombastic and move quickly. Their pacing and structure are built around scenes like car chases and their climaxes often have the biggest set pieces.

As you read above, a motif can be an image, sound, action, or figure that has a symbolic significance and highlights the theme. Motif and theme will always be linked because they feed off of one another. So if a motif is a recurring image, then a theme is the central idea behind those recurring images (and other examples). What about a motif in music? We call motifs in music a leitmotif. Leitmotif definition
Leitmotifs are intentionally-repeated, recurring aural themes associated with a particular person, idea, or action. What are some kinds of leitmotif examples? These elements present themselves as a repeated sound, shot, dialogue, or piece of music. So when Harry Potter shows up and we hear Hedwig's theme, that's a leitmotif. | https://nofilmschool.com/what-is-a-motif-in-film |

Content: The most important is this: How credible is an online degree today? What will employers think about you in an interview if they learn you earned your MBA online? To many people, a degree is always going to be viewed as a degree no matter where you earned it. But for others, there may be questions of trust and credibility. After all, traditional, campus degree programs have been in existence in the US for centuries. Online programs for the most part are less than 20 years old. But things are changing quickly. Online Degrees Gaining Acceptance
A review of literature and sources on the subject of online degrees going back to 2010 suggests that online degrees have gained broad acceptance, with some caveats related to the university offering the degree, as well as accreditation of the school and program. According to a survey done way back in 2010 by Zogby International and Excelsior College, 61% of CEOs and small business owners were familiar with online degrees. | https://nogre.com/how-credible-are-online-degrees/ |

Employers in that survey stated that the accreditation of the university, quality of graduates and the reputation of the school giving the degree were what counted in making the degree credible or not. US News and World Report stated more recently that many young professionals today have found that potential employers do not even inquire if their degree was obtained online or on campus. The lack of questioning about where you got your degree could indicate that more employers are accepting online degrees as equivalent to campus-based ones.

Actually, notes the global recruiting firm Manpower, some employers may appreciate the fact that a young professional earns a bachelor’s degree online. Companies with an entrepreneurial spirit often appreciate students who have shown that they can juggle many commitments while earning their degree online. Being able to balance a job, family and school can indicate that a person has a high level of self discipline, the article notes.

Factors That Make Online Degrees Credible
There is little doubt that online degrees are generally more accepted today than they were a decade ago. But not every online degree is created the same. If you are looking at an online bachelor’s or master’s program, employers report that there are several very important factors that make online degrees increase in credibility. There are still ‘diploma mills’ out there that churn out largely worthless degrees that are ‘accredited’ by unknown bodies of little value. You can avoid wasting time and money on these worthless degrees by focusing on what makes an online degree credible in the eyes of employers: University Reputation
An online degree from a well-known, respected university that has been around for 100+ years will always be viewed more favorably than an online degree from a school that started in 2005. Students who want a credible online degree should select a program from a university that has both on campus and online degree options, and is well known. | https://nogre.com/how-credible-are-online-degrees/ |

Students who want a credible online degree should select a program from a university that has both on campus and online degree options, and is well known. For example, Duke University offers many online bachelor’s and master’s programs. It would be a very rare employer who would question the quality of any degree that is issued from Duke University.

It is very important that the university that you choose has been at least regionally accredited by an accreditation agency recognized by the Department of Education. These are: Higher Learning Commission
Middle States Commission on Higher Education
New England Association of Schools and Colleges
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
Northwest Accreditation Commission
Western Association of Schools and Colleges
In addition, the program you are considering for an online degree should hold a program-specific accreditation from a respected accreditation agency in that field. | https://nogre.com/how-credible-are-online-degrees/ |

Most credible online degrees take approximately the same amount of time to earn as a campus-based degree. If you are earning an online bachelor’s degree, it should take close to four years to earn it.

The online degree program should have the exact same curriculum as the campus-based version of the degree. This is another reason it is a good idea to attend an online degree program with a campus-based version of the same program – so you can compare. Diploma mills require little work from online students and may take life or work experience into account for issuing credits. This is not a credible way to earn your degree. Summary

Content: Property purchases below the capitalization threshold should be expensed, even if they have a useful life of more than a year. See our post Fixed Asset or Expense? for more information on setting an appropriate capitalization threshold. IRS Framework for Capitalization
In 2013 the IRS issued final regulations over costs to “ acquire, produce or improve tangible real or personal property .” The regulations include a framework to explain more clearly which property costs should be capitalized vs. expensed. In this post we are focused on building improvements, so we will describe the IRS framework in these terms. Costs to improve a building should be capitalized if the cost meets the organization’s capitalization threshold and is a (n): B etterment
Fixing a defect or problem in construction or that existed before purchase
Enlarging a building or significantly increasing capacity
Materially improving a building, such as making it stronger or more energy efficient
A daptation of a property to a new or different use
R estoration
Replacing a major component or structural part of the building
Restoring a property to good operating condition
Restoring a property to like-new condition after the end of its useful life
You can use the acronym BAR to remember these three criteria. IRS Framework for Maintenance
In contrast to capitalization, building improvements that qualify as maintenance should be expensed. The IRS describes routine maintenance costs as: | https://nonprofitaccountingacademy.com/capitalize-or-expense-building-improvements/ |

Restoring a property to like-new condition after the end of its useful life
You can use the acronym BAR to remember these three criteria. IRS Framework for Maintenance
In contrast to capitalization, building improvements that qualify as maintenance should be expensed. The IRS describes routine maintenance costs as: Recurring activities that you expect to perform; As a result of your use of the property in your trade or business; To keep the property in its ordinarily efficient operating condition; and
You reasonably expect, at the time the property is placed in service, to perform the activities more than once during the 10-year period beginning when placed in service. Therefore even infrequent, major maintenance, such as painting, should be expensed. | https://nonprofitaccountingacademy.com/capitalize-or-expense-building-improvements/ |

The Question About the Door
Is that property or leasehold improvement “over the BAR?”
Content: Yes, then determine if the property improvement fits the IRS framework for capitalization or for maintenance. The new door cost $750, which is more than the client’s $500 capitalization threshold. Therefore we proceed to step 2 and consider the IRS framework for capitalization vs. maintenance. The new door did in fact replace a worn out door, so in that sense it was needed maintenance to keep the property in ordinary operating condition. However, the door that was installed was a much better quality door and more functional than the one it replaced, so in that sense we could say it was a major improvement. One aspect of maintenance is that it is recurring. The client does not expect to replace the door again within 10 years, perhaps not even within 30 or more years. Therefore this particular property improvement meets the definition of capital improvement: The door cost more than the client’s capitalization threshold of $500. It’s a “betterment” to the building, making the building safer (more fire resistant) and more functional (adding a window for observation). | https://nonprofitaccountingacademy.com/capitalize-or-expense-building-improvements/ |

It’s a “betterment” to the building, making the building safer (more fire resistant) and more functional (adding a window for observation). Therefore we recommend capitalizing the new door. We also recommend the IRS framework as described above for helping you make decisions about property improvements, especially those that fall into “borderline” territory between maintenance and capital improvement. As you can see, professional judgment is still required. Differences in opinion, even between two financial professionals, can occur. We suggest documenting why a decision was made to capitalize or expense a property improvement that exceeds the organization’s capitalization threshold, especially if an argument can be made either way. | https://nonprofitaccountingacademy.com/capitalize-or-expense-building-improvements/ |

Perspectives on Gangs and Gang Violence
The stereotypical media image for youth gangs is only partially accurate. According to the Justice Department, a gang is a well defined group of youths between 10 and 22 years old.” To be considered a “youth gang” a group must be involved in a pattern of criminal acts. The criminal acts, especially acts of violence, serve to cement the group together. Researchers Norman Randolph, Alan McEvoy and Edsel Erickson observe that “sharing the anticipation, danger, harm and excitement of a gang’s exercise of brutality against outsiders creates feelings of a common identity and shared purpose.” They go on to say: “Clearly, occasional acts of group violence define group boundaries, create or reinforce group identities, and bind members together in a common cause. Yet it is the shared vicarious reconstruction or anticipation of violence that is so much more relevant to bonding than is violence per se.” Howell points out that violent behavior “is not the only behavior in which gang members partake. For the most part, gang members “hang out” and are involved in other normal adolescent social activities, but drinking, drug use and drug trafficking are also common.” | https://nonprofitrisk.org/resources/articles/perspectives-on-gangs-and-gang-violence/ |

Content: Enhanced status or prestige among friends. Increased income from drug sales and other criminal enterprises. Protection from other gangs. Social relationships giving a sense of personal identity. Coercion into joining. Researchers into gang activities recommend that youth-serving organizations be alert to signs that indicate possible gang activity. According to Ronald D. Stephens, Executive Director of the National School Safety Center at Pepperdine University, the signs include: Graffiti — Gangs use graffiti to mark their territory. When another gang disputes territory they often cross out the rival gang’s graffiti and replace it with their own. Colors, jewelry and distinctive clothing — Gangs generally establish distinctive clothing to signify affiliation with a particular gang. | https://nonprofitrisk.org/resources/articles/perspectives-on-gangs-and-gang-violence/ |

Use of Weapons
Risk Management Considerations for Controlling Gang Influence
Content: Gang members will drive by brandishing weapons to demonstrate their capacity for deadly violence. Racial conflict — There is a high correlation between racial conflict and gang membership. Many gangs are formed along racial and ethnic lines for protection and affiliation. Community history of gangs — Communities with a history of gangs are more likely to have an established gang presence with gang membership including representation from several generations. Increasing presence of informal groups calling themselves a “posse,” “crew,” or some other socially questionable name — Informal groups with seemingly benign, yet revealing, names may be the first step to becoming involved with a gang. Tattoos — Often, gang members have tattoos that symbolize their gang affiliation. Use of Weapons
Weapons are a cause as well as a response to the violence that young people perceive in the world around them. In 1997, nearly one-fifth of high school students reported carrying a weapon (gun, knife, or club) in the prior month. Males are more likely than females to carry weapons and Latinos and African-Americans are more likely to carry weapons than their white counterparts. Often, young people carry weapons to protect themselves from the violence that they fear. | https://nonprofitrisk.org/resources/articles/perspectives-on-gangs-and-gang-violence/ |

Content: Best Daily Dosage for Anti-Anxiety
What’s the right dose for you? If you are taking Ashwagandha for anxiety, you can chose between a daily preventative dose or wait until anxiety symptoms arise and treat them individually. Depending upon the severity of your attacks, you can scale up or down the dosage until you find the right balance of calming relief and sedation. Ashwagandha will provide a light emotional boost at low doses like 50 – 100 mg. For a moderate anxiety attack, a dose of 300 – 500 mg will be very effective. For more severe cases, or if you have been clinically diagnosed with anxiety, a dose of 2000 mg, up to three times a day, is both safe and strong. Whether you simply keep some Ashwagandha on hand for occasionally attacks, or prefer to make it a part of a daily regimen, there is no reason to suffer with anxiety symptoms. Ashwagandha is a natural solution to this very common problem. Top Rated Supplements

Content: This term is used to describe the legal and technological censorship tools used by the Chinese government to restrict internet access in the country. Officially, it is called the Golden Shield project. Since the government owns all internet service providers (ISPs), it can monitor and control what information people in China access online. How does the censorship work? The government uses several different tactics to restrict users’ access to certain websites and online platforms. The most straightforward one is IP blocking. All Chinese ISPs block the IP addresses of undesirable websites. In addition to this, they use various DNS tampering methods. These include DNS poisoning and intentionally misconfigured DNS servers so that they return false IP addresses to the users. The government also uses keyword filtering to track other online content, like search engines, forums, and messaging apps. | https://nordvpn.com/blog/vpn-for-china/ |

Group Quarters - a place where people live or stay in a group living arrangement. Includes college residents halls, nursing facilities, military barracks, and correctional facilities. The Diversity Index is a scale of 0 to 100 that represents the likelihood that two persons, chosen at random from the same area, belong to different races or ethnic groups. If an area's entire population belongs to one race AND one ethnic group, then the area has zero diversity. An area's diversity index increases to 100 when the population is evenly divided into two or more race/ethnic groups. The Housing Affordability Index base is 100 and represents a balance point where a resident with a median household income can normally qualify to purchase a median price home. Values above 100 indicate increased affordability, while values below 100 indicate decreased affordability. The % of Income for Mortgage quantifies the percentage of median household income dedicated to mortgage payments on a home priced at the median value (assuming a 30-year mortgage and a 20% down payment). The Wealth Index is based on a number of indicators of affluence including average household income and average net worth, but it also includes the value of material possessions and resources. | https://northcarolina.hometownlocator.com/nc/cumberland/fayetteville.cfm |

Content: The largest Army base in the country, Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base has boosted the local economy and is almost synonymous with Fayetteville. Many argue that without Fort Bragg, Fayetteville might have grown only to be a small town of ten thousand. Fayetteville’s growth during the last fifty years has produced an ambivalent response. During the 1960s, Fayetteville’s main street, Hay Street, with it strip joints and bars that catered to the military, was considered sleazy, and with the Vietnam War in full swing, the city was derogatorily called “Fayttenam.” By the 1980s, Hay Street had been revitalized, but it has not yet rebounded to surpass the sales of the suburban strip malls and shopping centers. Today, over one hundred subdivisions, including King’s Grant, Tallywood, Vanstory Hills, and numerous shopping plazas and malls dot the map of Fayetteville. Some of the first retailing complexes were Eutaw Shopping Center, constructed on Bragg Boulevard in 1948, Boudreaux Shopping Center, built on a former vineyard in the 1950s, and the Westwood Shopping Center, erected in the 1960s. The large and indoor Cross Creek Mall opened in 1976. In all, the city’s retail sales have skyrocketed during the post-war years: $44 million in 1948, a half billion in 1972, and one billion in 1982.The increase in sales reveals the constant population growth of the city. | https://northcarolinahistory.org/encyclopedia/fayetteville-city-of/ |

In 1930 Fayetteville’s population was 13,309. By 1940 the population grew to 17,428, (forty-percent African American). Population growth also resulted from the city expanding its boundaries; after the post-World War II suburban sprawl, city leaders decided to annex over a hundred subdivisions. In 1980, Fayetteville residents numbered 60,000 and their number more than doubled to 121,015 by 2005 and comprised North Carolina’s sixth largest city. | https://northcarolinahistory.org/encyclopedia/fayetteville-city-of/ |

Content: The two of these factors combined create the harsh climate described above. Global warming and climate change affects the arctic tundra in Canada in many ways. The higher temperatures melt the snow, increasing the precipitation that the earth gets beneath the ice and snow. Areas of the tundra will eventually have different species of vegetation growing because of the climate change. More and more plants will be able to grow as the temperature continues to increase. The tundra has been changing more each year. As the fall freezing comes later then it once did, there is more time for the plants to continue growing. The permafrost is melting more each year. Because of these changes, new shrubs and spruce that couldn't root in the tundra before are now able to. This changes the habitat of the animals there. | https://northerncanadiantundra.weebly.com/meteorologistgeographer.html |

Content: Their food includes grass, seeds, grains, and tubers. Mice are blamed for much of the damage done by voles, which eat prodigious amounts of roots, countless flower bulbs, and are so fond of bark that they often girdle and kill young shrubs and trees. And meadow voles can produce up to 17 litters each year! If you look carefully at short-tailed shrews, moles, and voles, they don’t resemble mice, which have large, prominent eyes, big ears, and tails about as long as their bodies. Our two common species are the white-footed mouse and deer mouse. White-footed mice are reddish brown, with a dark patch running along the back. Deer mice have brownish-gray fur and are nearly 7 to 8 1/2 inches long, including the 3- to 4-inch-long tail. Mice eat as much as a third of their weight in food each day, including lots of seeds, grains, nuts, and fruits. A third or more of their diet consists of animal foods such as small insects, grubs, and worms. They cache sizeable stores of food as autumn days grow short. | https://northernwoodlands.org/outside_story/article/shrew-or-mole-mouse-or-vole |

As you can tell, the Northwest Coast People had a lot of fishing experience. You may wonder, "how did they actually catch the fish?" They used nets and underwater traps as well as bone and wood hooks and harpoons. The fish lines were made from cedar. The People also hunted many things including; black-tailed deer, elk, mountain goat, and bear. They used bows and arrows, snares, and harpoons to kill these wild animals. | https://northwestcoastpeoples.weebly.com/daily-life.html |

The Northwest Coast People don't live by themselves. There were several families that could add up to 40-60 people in one longhouse that were build from cedar.

7 Important Things Every Human Should Know
Millennials are constantly facing the crisis of meaning. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? For our parents and our grandparents, life seemed simpler because they moved through life with their eyes on the prize — freedom 55 — and the prize was profit. Millennials today know that the pursuit of profit, and profit alone, is a fool’s errand — it’s flawed and backfires when people realize money doesn’t actually make one happier.
Content: When the things that you do and the way you behave match your values, life is usually good – you’re satisfied and content. But when these don’t align with your personal values, that’s when things feel… wrong. This can be a real source of unhappiness. This is why making a conscious effort to identify your values is so important.

Content: Thus we have parallel notions of activism and deliberation: The ordinary moral person deliberates – reflects on how her norms, principles and values should be translated into moral action. The activist thinks about the best and most efficient ways to promote the cause she is committed to. But this description seems to me to be seriously misleading, since it represents the agent as either unable to revise and change her moral beliefs or presents value revision as in itself suspect. A familiar example may be used to illustrate this: Large activist groups fight against whaling. This fight is conducted on many different levels of value commitments. The most general and common ground is to fight whaling because many whale species are endangered. On that ground, if it is generally accepted that these species are in fact endangered, there exists a strong argu | https://notendur.hi.is/jonolafs/Moral_Theory.htm |

The Purpose and Use of Anthropology
Enrichment
Content: Linguistic anthropology. Ernest Cassirer said that humans are the most proficient creators in using symbols so that humans are called Homo symbolicum because that is why humans can talk, speak and perform other movements which are also carried out by many other creatures similar to humans. The ethnology approach is ethnographic, referring more to his concern about cultures today, the source of his study is also centered on human behavior that can be witnessed directly, experienced, and discussed with supporters of the culture itself. Thus ethnology is actually similar to archeology, but the difference in ethnology is about the present that is experienced in present life, while archeology is about the classical past. Anthropology essentially documents the human condition of the past and present. The Purpose and Use of Anthropology
In their daily activities, humans always apply the science of anthropology in various patterns of behavior and social interactions to relate to one another, therefore the science of anthropology has the aim to be studied, as follows: Academic Purpose
Anthropology wants to reach an understanding of human beings, in general, by studying various physical forms, society and culture. Practical Purpose
Anthropology wants to know and study humans in various colors of society, ethnic groups in order to build the community itself. For example the shape of the skin, language style and so forth
The following are the uses of anthropology for humans in social life, among others, as follows: See clearly about humans, both as individuals and members of community groups. | https://notesread.com/concepts-of-anthropology/ |

Imperialism in Africa
December 10, 2020 by Abdullah Sam
The European imperialism in Africa took place during the nineteenth century. Until 1876, 10.8% of African territory was in possession of colonizers. In 1900, the European dominance corresponded to 90.4%. At first, European exploitation was spread along the coast, with strong trading posts that guaranteed the slave trade. The first large-scale domination started with France and Great Britain. Africa’s riches went to industrialized countries
France occupied Algeria in 1832, Tunisia in 1881 and then Morocco. Thus, French West Africa was created. For its part, with the same intention of territorial expansion, Great Britain took possession of Egypt in 1882, Sudan and southern Africa. In 1876, the king of Belgium, Leopoldo II, dominated the entire current area of Congo. The region came under the personal rule of the monarch until 1908, when it was sold to the government of Belgium and was eighty times the size of the dominant country. | https://notesread.com/imperialism-in-africa/ |

As strategies for domination, political negotiations, military and religious maneuvers were used. For political negotiations, tribal chiefs made trade deals with Europeans. These carried products from the land while supplying weapons to Africans. In order to expand the territory, Europeans themselves allied themselves with tribes and participated in the wars between them. Thus, they guaranteed more land and powerful allies.

The Christian religion reinforced the idea of inferiority among those regions where polytheism was practiced. There, missionaries demonized customs and gods, and conquered minds as well. Racial theories, such as social Darwinism and the myth of the white man’s burden, underpinned the exploitation of Africa’s natural wealth. The argument was supported by the thesis that Africans were “barbarians” and needed the European’s contribution to achieve the same degree of civilization. See also: Rainha Vitória

The peak of imperialism would come in 1885, with the agreement sealed at the Berlin Conference , which guaranteed commercial freedom for all countries in certain areas. | https://notesread.com/imperialism-in-africa/ |

Sharing Africa
The peak of imperialism would come in 1885, with the agreement sealed at the Berlin Conference , which guaranteed commercial freedom for all countries in certain areas. Likewise, the meeting served to determine the borders of African territory. After the Berlin Conference, Africa was divided into 50 states. The terms of the agreement did not respect traditional ethnic divisions and had a catastrophic impact on nations. It is for this reason that, even today, some countries remain under ethnic rivalry that causes civil wars and extreme poverty. The sharing of Africa is also among the justifications for the outbreak of the First World War (1914-1918). | https://notesread.com/imperialism-in-africa/ |

Notoriety is a co-op first-person shooter with RPG and stealth elements. It can be played in a team of up to four players. Its gameplay is inspired by PAYDAY 2 . Different heists can be approached in different ways, some can be done stealthily (commonly referred to “stealth” or “Plan A”) while some have to be done with a mass-shootout (players often refers to the term “loud” or “Plan B”) and some will offer both decisions, depending on player’s preferences. Currently, the game contains 18 maps, commonly known as heists, with 2 of which being paid gamepass heists. Currently, 1 map must be done stealthily, 7 maps can only be done loud, and the rest offers both choices for players to decide. As mentioned above, there are 2 different ways (stealth and loud) to complete the heist. When in loud, police will arrive the scene as waves of enemies. | https://notoriety.fandom.com/wiki/Notoriety |

Depending on the difficulty, their amount of health and damage they deal will also scale accordingly, along with different types of enemies. They will attempt to slow down the players or completely eliminate them by shooting at players, taking away their loot, or interfering with their current objectives. However, if the player choose to stealth the map, they could bypass the assault as long as they are not caught. During loud, if a player got shot down by police, they could be revived by a teammate, or an AI bot If the player enabled the option. Typically, when a player got shot down by the fourth time they will be sent into custody (or if the player didn’t got revived in time when they got shot down), where they would need the other players to trade in a hostage in exchange for the player in custody. | https://notoriety.fandom.com/wiki/Notoriety |

If their pager was not answered in time, or the player stopped responding in the process, the alarm will sound. The total maximum amount of pagers that players are allowed to answer is 4.

If a player answers the fifth pager, the alarm will sound with the reason of “The pager operator was not convinced!” To avoid any confusion, the players cannot kill the pager operator himself, as the operator does not exist on the map. However, in some maps there will be a camera operator, where players can kill or hostage to shut down the cameras. Furthermore, enemies and cameras will also become alerted in the following sitiuations: Saw any kinds of bag, exposed body, hostage, another alerted guard or civilian, broken camera or glass
Heard an explosion, gunshot, drill or broken glass
Each heist has an objective, or a set of objectives that are required to be completed in order to finish the heist. For all maps except for one, the main objective is to secure a certain amount of bags. | https://notoriety.fandom.com/wiki/Notoriety |

Content: They may also choose to pick less skills in order to add challenge to a heist that they find easy. Assets
Before a heist starts, a team can choose to spend their favors and money to purchase assets. Assets are intended to assist the player in some way or form. For example, certain assets can provide an extra medic bag to the team, or delay the initial police assault to give them more time to prepare. Not all heists may have assets though, and some assets may be found on one heist, but not another. Game Passes
Game passes can be purchased by the player for the digital Roblox currency 'Robux'. Gamepasses function in the same way a DLC would in other games, providing extra content or features for the player. In Notoriety, this can mean extra maps, weapon packs or stat multipliers. More game passes are planned to be released as development of Notoriety continues. Criticism

Before the game was being revamped, there were various game-breaking glitches in different maps. Some of the more popular ones include: Player got teleported into the wrong spot of the map in day 2 of Transport
Player unable to mask up hence cannot interact or shoot
Guns got broken and not able to shoot
You can shoot lights
And much more
Notoriety Revamp
On 22 December 2017, Notoriety received a much-anticipated complete redesign of the game, a so-called "revamp". This caused a large amount of controversy in the community for various reasons. One of the major reasons is that certain heists ( Fave Breakout, Terminal, Transport, World Bank) were removed, causing dissatisfaction among players. | https://notoriety.fandom.com/wiki/Notoriety |

One of the major reasons is that certain heists ( Fave Breakout, Terminal, Transport, World Bank) were removed, causing dissatisfaction among players. Another is that their saved data were globally reset. Data Loss
In the early stages of the revamp, a technical problem not directly caused by Notoriety resulted in the majority of players losing their data causing a huge inconvenience for both parties involved. In response, the Notoriety Team sent out a form asking people to fill out if they lost their data, they would then restore player's data using the information they got from the forms. This allowed the majority of players to have their data restored. The forms were closed after a certain date, causing some frustration and anger in a minority of the community, as they were not aware of the form. | https://notoriety.fandom.com/wiki/Notoriety |

Gun System
With the release of the Notoriety Revamp came the revamp's first gun system, which the large majority of the community believed to be worse than the previous iterations of it, responding in many complaints due to it looking visually worse, having no crosshair and no large improvements being made on it. This was eventually resolved with the Notoriety Version 2.00 (The Gun Update), which added new guns, attachments and animations. However, there were still some problems: there was no reload sounds, certain pa | https://notoriety.fandom.com/wiki/Notoriety |
