NFPA 15, 68, and 69 refer to codes and guidelines which are formulated through mutual agreement for standard development procedures. They are allowed by the American National Standards Institute. The procedures incorporate people representing different opinions and concerns to attain a compromise on fire and other safety matters. In this paper, the NFPA 15, NFPA 68, and NFPA 69 are compared and contrasted on how they deal with explosive hazards. NFPA 15 offers the least required necessities for the design, set-up, and system acceptance tests for the water spray fixed devices for fire protection. The code details all that is needed for intervallic testing and maintenance checks for the super speed water spray fixed devices. Here, water is used in a programmed manner, accepted mold, size, speed, and compactness. It is then released from specially created nozzles and objects. Water spray devices are useful for unique fire protection dangers since they can be exclusively created to offer efficient fire control, extinguishment, security, or contact safety. These devices are used with other forms of explosive protection but can be independently utilized. The devices are designed in consideration of the kind of danger in question and the primary uses of the devices. Hence, for proper variations in the properties of the spray nozzles, the systems are expertly created, set up, and checked for performance. On the other hand, NFPA 68 addresses explosive hazards through deflagration venting. This code particularly deals with the design, site, setting-up, performance checkups, and utility of devices which create vents for the combustion gases and pressures which develop from a deflagration in an enclosed place. This is in a bid to control structural or mechanical damages. Basically, the primary goal for the code is to offer a system for the creation, setting up, and performance check-ups for the deflagration vent devices and all the relative elements needed for proper operation. While the NFPA 15 and NFPA 68 codes appear to offer appropriate devices for the control of explosive hazards, NFPA 69 offers the best standards and guidelines on the explosive prevention devices. Hence, it should be noted that while the first two show these systems, the latter gives guidelines on how they have to be maintained, designed, and set up. NFPA 69 gives the least required essentials for the installation of devices for the control of explosive hazards in areas having combustive concentrations of combustive gases, dischargeable vaporizations, and several other hybrid combinations. Essentially, engineers and other experts get the most important information and knowledge on how to design the systems, operating human resources, and the officials involved. The code outlines the least accepted levels of dependability for the explosive control devices, the control of explosive hazards, and that the regulative systems in place are created and set up following the best requir
This is a civil action brought by the government pursuant to Section 4 of the Sherman Act. The contention of the government in this case was grounded on the reasoning that the appellee had used unlawful means to monopolize interstate commerce. The argument of the government in the case was that the monopoly by Cellophane was further in contravention of Section 2 of the Sherman Act. The trial court in the case held that the market to be observed in the determination of the flexibility of packaging materials had to be observed in regard to the competition dynamics. The market, therefore, played a role in preventing the appellee in the possession of monopoly of the market. The trial court dismissed the appeal accordingly. The issue before the appellate court was to determine whether alleged monopolist tendencies of the company violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act. The issue was closely coupled with a determination of whether the company enjoyed a monopoly in competition and the assigning of given prices. The determination of the court was to be based on the reasoning that the commodities that are sold must be of a different character (Cefrey 64). The case was originally instituted in the District Court of the United States in the District of Columbia. The case was further transferred to the District of Delaware. The defendant, E.I. DuPont, was a corporation with its operations in Delaware. Its successor was E.I. DuPont Cellophane Company. The company had all along concentrated on the sale of cellulose in the form of films and in the form of bands. The company entered into the business of manufacturing cellulose in 1923. Its collaboration with the La Cellophane Company, which was based in France, was a new twist in its operations. The company was re-incorporated to include the subsidiary company in 1929. DuPoint subsequently took over the operations of the company from 1936 onwards. The plaintiff in this case expounded the meaning of economic and legal concepts put forward in the case. There are several theories put across by the plaintiff, although the final determination of the case has been left in the hands of the plaintiff. The legal and economic theories of monopoly were strictly put across in the sense that a line was to be drawn between the two. It was the plaintiff’s case that the defendant engaged in acts that were prohibited under the Sherman Act. The plaintiff further argued that the monopoly had legal and economic repercussions. Several philosophies to affirm the argument made by the plaintiff were considered. The disagreement in the economic and legal concepts involved in this case was presented for consideration. The consideration had provoked various disagreements in the United States today. The economic discussion follows a need to breach the gap between the legal and economic theories of monopoly. The discussion in the case was later supported by the agreement in
Target Market Product and market definition Shisha is flavored tobacco for smoking. It is smoked using a hookah. The product is deemed to have originated from Turkey, but some have argued that it originated from the Middle East. The Shisha tobacco is mixed with fruit shavings like grapes, apples, and even strawberries. Shisha smoking has become a common tradition in the US, UK, and Canada 1 . It is considered to be a luxurious tradition where people smoke in cafes. Shisha culture is synonymous with the elite class. With the smoking laws in place, there has been an innovation in Shisha smoking whereby electronic Shishas have been developed. Numerous Shisha smoking cafes have been developed across the globe. The luxurious smoking of Shisha has been attracting many customers in these cafes 2 . Therefore, this plan aims to open Shisha cafes in Montreal, Canada. It will also aim at getting customers and a favorable operating market. The first thing will be to find a favorable place from where to situate the cafes within the city. This is an important factor in marketing. The bars, restaurants, and clubs will be the target joints for the Shisha cafes as they comprise of people who come for luxurious activities. The target clients for the products to be marketed should be found in certain places where the business is located. The target market for the Shisha cafe business in the State of Montreal is the elite class especially those people who smoke the normal tobacco 3 . The first thing that will be done is establishing the number of Shisha cafes that will be opened. For this case, a total of five cafes will be opened, and they will be used as pilot cases as the possibility of opening more such cafes is assessed. Therefore, five key destinations will be identified as locations for the first five cafes. The Shisha cafes will be located adjacent to the identified places: two, adjacent to bars; one, adjacent to a restaurant; one, adjacent to a casino and another adjacent to a club. The identified places are deemed to have an inflow of people who have the mission of refreshing themselves. Therefore, they are likely to develop interest in the products being offered by the Shisha cafes. Pricing for the products This business will aim at providing a variety of Shisha flavor products to customers in Canada so that customers can enjoy different tastes of products. The varieties of Shisha flavors that will be offered include Al-Sultan Shisha, Soex Herbal Shisha, Al- Fackher Shisha, Hydro Herbal Shisha, Starbuzz Shisha, Baraka Herbal Shisha, Nakhla, Al-Waha, Haze, Fantasia, and El-Rosha Herbal Shisha. The prices of these flavors will be adjusted so that customers can be attracted by virtue of price. This is one of the positioning factors. The price of each flavor will be set at 1 per cent lower than the normal retailing price of the flavors. The consumption of Shisha has been growing, and the number of dealers in these products has been swelling. Therefore, it will be worthwhile to adjust prices relative to the prices of the p
Overview of the Film ‘Coach Carter’ Coach Carter is a 2005 movie directed by Thomas Carter. One thing about this film is that it based on a true story and tells the life of Ken Carter, a 1999 basketball coach in Richmond High School. The movie stars Ken Carter who is the coach of the basketball team. At the time he is taking the team, Ken observes that the members of his team are disrespectful and extremely rude. He decides to tackle the behavior and sets a high mean score of 2.3 for the players. Three members of the team do not follow the coach’s requirements including Cruz Timo who eventually quits the team. Kenyon Stone, another teammate is not in terms with Kyra, his girlfriend who is pregnant, and soon they separate ( Coach Carter ). Carter does not let Cruz rejoin the team later because of his deviant behavior. He has to do 2500 push-ups and 1000 suicides to become part of the team. Throughout the film, Carter is teaching the players respect, personality and positive behavior. Eventually learns that the players had not been doing well in their studies. The coach forbids the teenagers from playing until they work hard to improve their scores. This angers everyone with Cruz deciding to quit once again after which he starts taking drugs with Remmy, his cousin. The coach eventually allows him back after his cousin is shot. Eventually, the school board summons
The existence and proper functioning of democracy are particularly dependent on the ability of the society to connect and interact within its communities to resolve tentative issues. The author of the article “Bowling Alone: America’s Declining Social Capital” discusses and analyzes the manifestations of the civic society of the United States of America by assessing its change. Civic society as an expression of democracy has its social capital, which is characterized by the formation of social networks between people. The quality of such connections allows for timely and effective resolution of problematic issues due to the continuous awareness and interaction of the involved individuals within the community. Indeed, Putnam states that “such networks facilitate coordination and communication, amplify reputations, and thus allow dilemmas of collective action to be resolved” (66). Thus, in general, civic societies that form networks are capable of facilitating the functioning of a democratic society. However, the ongoing trends in American society indicate a negative change in the readiness of people to engage in social networks and interact with others for social problem resolution. Within the past decades, the number of clubs, organizational associations, unities, religious networks, and other forms of civic engagement has significantly reduced. One of the reasons for such a deterioration in social capital is the development in people’s mobility and homeownership, which implies moving frequently and the lack of necessity to form strong social bonds. According to Putnam, “mobility, like frequent re-potting of plants, tends to disrupt root systems, and it takes time for an uprooted individual to put down new roots” (72). Therefore, changes in Americans’ lifestyles have led to diminished social capital and network involvement, which might ultimately negatively impact advancing democracy in the USA.

Introduction Civilization refers to a kind of social order that promotes the creation of culture. In most cases, civilization in a country begins after a country has gone through a period of war and instability. Civilization comes to bring a new economic dispensation and to create new organizations politically. It also changes people’s approach to culture as well as their moral traditions making them have a new approach to life in general. In most cases, a country that is going through civilization will first have gone through a hard economic time due to the ravaging effects of war. While going through this process people tend to pursue knowledge with a new zeal that they never even knew existed within them. (Sega, 1830) Main Body In order for civilization to come by there has to be ordered in a country. People who are continually fighting among themselves cannot have the personal will needed to bring about civilization. There is a need for love among people of diverse tribes. Civilization can not come by unless people decide to live in peace and harmony. There must be a functional state for this to be realized. It’s an accepted fact that a strong government forms a strong nation. Religion also plays a key role in bringing about civilization. As I stated earlier, for civilization to come by people must first embrace each other through love. In most cases, religion has been the tool that teaches people to love each other. All these things must work in tandem to bring about civilization. If one of these things is missing then civilization will fail in most cases. Political order is also n
Coca-Cola is a global brand. The company’s headquarter is in Atlanta Georgia, but it has business interests all over the world. Its Coca-Cola drink is popular with many customers in all parts of the world. The drink is as old as the company is, but its appeal never seems to fade over time. This is the result of carefully planned advertising, and marketing campaigns that seek to retain its appeal to all the people in the world. This makes it imperative to look at the flagship advertisement for the Coca-Cola open happiness campaign released in 2010. It will uncover some of the principles the company uses in its advertisements. The goal of this analysis is to examine the effectiveness of the advertisement in communicating the message of the advertising campaign. The advert starts with a man taking a nap on a picnic shawl. There is a Coca-Cola bottle next to the man. A ladybird flies in and alerts other insects about the presence of the Coca-Cola bottle. Soon after, bees fly in and push down the bottle. Then, locusts on standby use their hind legs to set the bottle rolling downhill towards a stream. At this point, the sleeping man reaches out for the bottle, but a butterfly distracts the man by tickling his nose. The bottle rolls all the way into the stream. Once there, dragonflies navigate the bottle across obstacles, but the bottle ends up stuck after falling off a waterfall. Thereafter, a swinging silkworm dislodges the bottle. Finally, a rhinoceros beetle opens the bottle. Leaves in the nearby bush conduct the drink to individual flowers from where all the insects participating in the heist get a share. The advert uses insects as the main actors. Each insect group plays a unique role in the process of getting the bottle opened in order to share its goodness. This choice makes the advert stand out immediately because the insects are doing something that is normally beyond their capacity. The shared sense of mission provides a unique appeal towards drinking Coca-Cola because it implies that Coca-Cola makes happiness an open thing that is available to everyone. The main appeal employed is the shared sense of happiness. As noted earlier, this was the flagship advert for the Coca-Cola open happiness marketing campaign. Since the Coca-Cola Company sells its products worldwide, the choice of insects in the advert makes it acceptable to all the cultures without the risk of putting off some viewers. The logical problems in the advert include the fact that the man does not notice any of the things going on around him. The solution to this problem comes from the distraction by the butterfly, which stops him from discovering that the bottle is missing. The other problem is that the insects used in the
Introduction On October 1, 1949, the recently formed People’s Republic of China encountered the main problem of securing power over an extensive mainland and executing the socialist ideas it supported. The main problem to the process of governmental and ideological restructuring of China was the hesitant ideological nature of China’s academia. Extraordinary measures had to be adopted by the Communist government to deal with the unambiguous and covert problem of non-Marxian thinking and bourgeois principles among its brilliant and knowledgeable class. The crusade propagated by the Communists to convert the intelligentsia was not stimulated by enthusiasm towards the previous owners of the means of production, but by the Communist pledge for a cohesive ideological front. The actions of the learned and the Chinese administration from the start of the People’s Republic to the Hundred Flowers Bloom era in 1956 were characterized by a certain trend, which included the division among the class rather than joining hands due to counter the ideals of the Communists (Lu 20). Many historians noted down the effects of the Chinese Communist Party, both positive and negative effects. Born Red is one of the writings that talks about the nature of life under the CCP regime. Gao Yuan gives a personal experience in this piece of writing, showing how the CCP regime affected the lives of ordinary citizens. This paper talks about the effects of the CCP regime. The paper further analyzes the effects of Cultural Revolution on traditional culture and social institutions. In this regard, the paper reviews the impacts of the Cultural Revolution on the lives of many Chinese. The Effects of CCP Victory on Gao’s Family In early 1949, the general position of scholars toward the forthcoming political change was one of reticent backing. The Chinese Communists had made substantive progress in their efforts towards the subjugation of the state. The universal sense was that the serving Nationalist administration was destined to lose the Chinese Civil War. When the learned came to the realization that the Nationalist regime they formerly backed was a misplaced government, most of them were ready to offer their support to the Communists since it was considered the lesser between the two evils. Executive guiding principle of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and the Chinese administration during the epoch following the declaration of the People’s Republic of China was characterized by prudence and self-control. The Communists never wished to cause panic among citizens with ideological debate and political affairs. The Chinese citizens at the time were more interested in tranquility and the termination of civil discord. Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong talked about the formation of a well-built state power and the financial overhaul of the state. As Gao suggests in his book, the ne
