  • Work Hours Calendar Work Hours Calendar
    Work Hours Calendar Work Hours Calendar EMPLOYEE: DATES (Dates entered in this calendar, e.g., April–July 2016) EMPLOYER: START OF WORKWEEK: PAY: (Sunday / Monday / Tuesday / etc.) (Hourly / Tips / Salary / Piece Rate) Minimum Wage Generally, you must be paid at least the federal minimum wage for all the time that you work, whether you are paid by the hour, the day, or at a piece rate. Overtime & Regular Rate If you are not an exempt employee, you must receive time and one-half your regular rate of pay after 40 hours of work in a seven-day workweek. Regular rate includes most compensation, including non-discretionary bonuses and shift differentials. Misclassification Some employers misclassify workers who are employees under the law as something other than employees, sometimes calling them “independent contractors.” When this happens, the workers do not receive certain workplace rights and benefits, such as the minimum wage and overtime pay, to which they are legally entitled. Recordkeeping Generally, you should know that your employer must keep records of all wages paid to you and of all hours you worked, no matter where the work is done. Similarly, we recommend that you keep your own records of all the hours you work and of your pay. We recommend that you keep all your pay 1 stubs, information your employer gives you or tells you about your pay rate, how many hours you worked, including overtime, and other information on your employer’s pay practices. This work hours calendar should help you keep as much information as possible. Em ployers must pay employees for all the time worked in a workday.

  • QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Latitude, Longitude and Associated Metadata
    QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Latitude, Longitude and Associated Metadata The Property Profile Form (PPF) requests the property name, address, city, state and zip. From these address fields, ACRES interfaces with Google Maps and extracts the latitude and longitude (lat/long) for the property location. ACRES sets the remaining property geographic information to default values. The data (known collectively as “metadata”) are required by EPA Data Standards. Should an ACRES user need to be update the metadata, the Edit Fields link on the PPF provides the ability to change the information. Before the metadata were populated by ACRES, the data were entered manually. There may still be the need to do so, for example some properties do not have a specific street address (e.g. a rural property located on a state highway) or an ACRES user may have an exact lat/long that is to be used. This Quick Reference Guide covers how to find latitude and longitude, define the metadata, fill out the associated fields in a Property Work Package, and convert latitude and longitude to decimal degree format. This explains how the metadata were determined prior to September 2011 (when the Google Maps interface was added to ACRES). Definitions Below are definitions of the six data elements for latitude and longitude data that are collected in a Property Work Package. The definitions below are based on text from the EPA Data Standard. Latitude: Is the measure of the angular distance on a meridian north or south of the equator. Latitudinal lines run horizontal around the earth in parallel concentric lines from the equator to each of the poles.

  • An Atomic Physics Perspective on the New Kilogram Defined by Planck's Constant
    An atomic physics perspective on the new kilogram defined by Planck’s constant (Wolfgang Ketterle and Alan O. Jamison, MIT) (Manuscript submitted to Physics Today) On May 20, the kilogram will no longer be defined by the artefact in Paris, but through the definition1 of Planck’s constant h=6.626 070 15*10-34 kg m2/s. This is the result of advances in metrology: The best two measurements of h, the Watt balance and the silicon spheres, have now reached an accuracy similar to the mass drift of the ur-kilogram in Paris over 130 years. At this point, the General Conference on Weights and Measures decided to use the precisely measured numerical value of h as the definition of h, which then defines the unit of the kilogram. But how can we now explain in simple terms what exactly one kilogram is? How do fixed numerical values of h, the speed of light c and the Cs hyperfine frequency νCs define the kilogram? In this article we give a simple conceptual picture of the new kilogram and relate it to the practical realizations of the kilogram. A similar change occurred in 1983 for the definition of the meter when the speed of light was defined to be 299 792 458 m/s. Since the second was the time required for 9 192 631 770 oscillations of hyperfine radiation from a cesium atom, defining the speed of light defined the meter as the distance travelled by light in 1/9192631770 of a second, or equivalently, as 9192631770/299792458 times the wavelength of the cesium hyperfine radiation.

It is used (often alongside the Gregorian calendar) to date events in many Muslim countries. It is also used by Muslims to determine the proper days of Islamic holidays and rituals, such as the annual period of fasting and the proper time for the pilgrimage to Mecca. The Islamic calendar employs the Hijri era whose epoch was Islamic Calendar stamp issued at King retrospectively established as the Islamic New Year of AD 622.

  • Second Time Moms & the Truth About Parenting
    Second Time Moms & The Truth About Parenting Summary Why does our case deserve an award? In the US, and globally, every diaper brand obsesses about the emotion and joy experienced by new parents. Luvs took the brave decision to focus exclusively on an audience that nobody was talking to: second time moms. Planning made Luvs the official diaper brand of experienced moms. The depth of insights Planning uncovered about this target led to creative work that did a very rare thing for the diaper category: it was funny, entertaining and sparked a record amount of debate. For the first time these moms felt that someone was finally standing up for them and Luvs was applauded for not being afraid to show motherhood in a more realistic way. And in doing so, we achieved the highest volume and value sales in the brand’s history. 2 Luvs: A Challenger Facing A Challenge Luvs is a value priced diaper brand that ranks a distant fourth in terms of value share within the US diaper category at 8.9%. Pampers and Huggies are both premium priced diapers that make up most of the category, with value share at 31, and 41 respectively. Private Label is the third biggest player with 19% value share. We needed to generate awareness to drive trial for Luvs in order to grow the brand, but a few things stood in our way. Low Share Of Voice Huggies spends $54 million on advertising and Pampers spends $48 million. In comparison, Luvs spends only $9 million in media support. So the two dominant diaper brands outspend us 9 to 1, making our goal of increased awareness very challenging.

  • Physics 200 Problem Set 7 Solution Quick Overview: Although Relativity Can Be a Little Bewildering, This Problem Set Uses Just A
    Physics 200 Problem Set 7 Solution Quick overview: Although relativity can be a little bewildering, this problem set uses just a few ideas over and over again, namely 1. Coordinates (x; t) in one frame are related to coordinates (x0; t0) in another frame by the Lorentz transformation formulas. 2. Similarly, space and time intervals (¢x; ¢t) in one frame are related to inter- vals (¢x0; ¢t0) in another frame by the same Lorentz transformation formu- las. Note that time dilation and length contraction are just special cases: it is time-dilation if ¢x = 0 and length contraction if ¢t = 0. 3. The spacetime interval (¢s)2 = (c¢t)2 ¡ (¢x)2 between two events is the same in every frame. 4. Energy and momentum are always conserved, and we can make e±cient use of this fact by writing them together in an energy-momentum vector P = (E=c; p) with the property P 2 = m2c2. In particular, if the mass is zero then P 2 = 0. 1. The earth and sun are 8.3 light-minutes apart. Ignore their relative motion for this problem and assume they live in a single inertial frame, the Earth-Sun frame. Events A and B occur at t = 0 on the earth and at 2 minutes on the sun respectively. Find the time di®erence between the events according to an observer moving at u = 0:8c from Earth to Sun. Repeat if observer is moving in the opposite direction at u = 0:8c. Answer: According to the formula for a Lorentz transformation, ³ u ´ 1 ¢tobserver = γ ¢tEarth-Sun ¡ ¢xEarth-Sun ; γ = p : c2 1 ¡ (u=c)2 Plugging in the numbers gives (notice that the c implicit in \light-minute" cancels the extra factor of c, which is why it's nice to measure distances in terms of the speed of light) 2 min ¡ 0:8(8:3 min) ¢tobserver = p = ¡7:7 min; 1 ¡ 0:82 which means that according to the observer, event B happened before event A! If we reverse the sign of u then 2 min + 0:8(8:3 min) ¢tobserver 2 = p = 14 min: 1 ¡ 0:82 2.

  • Geologic Timeline
    SCIENCE IN THE PARK: GEOLOGY GEOLOGIC TIME SCALE ANALOGY PURPOSE: To show students the order of events and time periods in geologic time and the order of events and ages of the physiographic provinces in Virginia. BACKGROUND: Exact dates for events change as scientists explore geologic time. Dates vary from resource to resource and may not be the same as the dates that appear in your text book. Analogies for geologic time: a 24 hour clock or a yearly calendar. Have students or groups of students come up with their own original analogy. Before you assign this activity, you may want to try it, depending on the age of the student, level of the class, or time constraints, you may want to leave out the events that have a date of less than 1 million years. ! Review conversions in the metric system before you begin this activity ! References L.S.
