Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) CCTV is the current technology which is used for security surveillance. It captures images using lenses in one end, converts it into motion images and transmits it through a certain transmission medium to the receiving unit in one end. The motion picture will then finally be displayed on a monitor or a laptop screen. The main elements of a CCTV System CCTV system has four basic parts which are very important for its operation. Video Source (Camera) This component is the primary source of images in the CCTV system. It has lenses which capture images by focusing light onto Charge Coupled Device which records light electronically. The video source is also tasked with monitoring the images at the place of interest. It is generally where the system starts its functions for monitoring. Transmission medium The CCTV’s transmission medium is responsible for transmitting images from source to the end (destination unit).Coaxial cable is commonly the preferred cable in this case. Recording unit (DVR) DVR is a storage component which houses the recorded footage for later viewing.…
AUTISM AND VIOLENCE Autism is a condition whereby an individual has difficulties or dislikes social interaction or communication. There is some similarity between being autistic and being an introvert. Autistic individuals are identified by clinging to some form of behaviour which happens repetitively. Since Autism begins at childhood, it is not readily noticeable especially for unobservant parents and individuals with the condition will be mistaken as being disabled or superior. A question I have about Autism is whether there is a direct association between an individual having the condition and being violent. I have learnt that this is a complex issue because as much as several autistic people are involved in criminal activities, but there is no concrete evidence to prove that the cause for crime involvement is due to autism. Experts tend to agree that violence cases by autistic individuals are in many cases extreme but disagree that there is a direct relationship between Autism and increased violence. Determining the relationship between autism and violence is a complex issue. To date, there is very little available data…

There are changing lifestyles among the consumers who are opting to purchase healthy products, unlike carbonated drinks.

Ecology paper The distribution of the earth’s diversity and the abundant life widely shaped by the patterns of the vegetation growth both on the land and the water bodies — these patterns are known as the net primary production (NPP). NPP refers to the rates in which vegetation converts water and carbon dioxide to be energy compounds rich in carbon. The tropical rainforests the biggest producers in the whole ecosystem due to their longitudinal gradient. However, with regards to marine productivity, the NPP is more significant in the high latitude water bodies found around the poles. Basing the research on direct measurements signify that the NPP in the tropical rainforests bears no difference to the yearly NPP located in the temperate forest (Houston & Wolverton, 2009). A paradox exists on the determination of the highest producer of NPP and to resolve this a proper reexamination of the terrestrial productivity gradient to be able to obtain the overall global distribution of the production and understand the patterns of distribution. The study uses the various ecosystems to identify the production levels as…

Pure Nautica Fragrance Advertisement Perfume advertisers employ means other than the sense of smell alone (which could include sexually suggestive images) to grasp the attention of the customers- the ultimate goal being to gain prominence overthe competing brands. This was the case, for instance, with VF Corporation, whose advertisement of Pure Nautica focused on sexual orientation to market the perfume. The advertisement premiered in the winter of 2010, where it was published in the monthly menswear fashion and industry magazine, MMSCENE. Male fragrance advertisers have resorted to magazines and periodicals due to the growing market reputation of increased readership of these publications by men middle-aged men; these publications have fashion trends that most men see as the ideal depictions of a modern man. Therefore, this advert targets the young men of between eighteen to forty-five years, all who are energetic and sexually active and desire esteemed fragrances to supplement their outward appearance. The Pure Nautica advertisement conveys the message that modern men are strong, confident and spirited when they make their own decisions concerning their body- achieving this by the…
Bilingual Schooling in the United States What is your opinion of bilingual education/schooling in the United States? Bilingual schooling is an approach that has been embraced by many countries across the globe. It, ideally, involves the use of two different languages, native and secondary, to teach students academic content (Genesee et al., 2006). The idea to initiate and implement the bilingual schooling in the United States came into being in 1968 following the introduction and adoption of Bilingual Act. Based on the act, academic instructions were to be provided in English in addition to the native languages of the learners. This trend that began several years ago is still embraced today, and even other countries have followed suit. To this understanding, I believe that the benefits associated with bilingual education are far much higher than the corresponding drawbacks. The use of two different languages to practically implement academic programs does not only give learners the ability to learn and be competent in the second language but also promotes cultural understanding and interactions (Goldstein, 2012). It seems bilingual education is the…
