Book Review: The Dysfunctional Library: Challenges and Solutions to Workplace Relationships

It is not easy to tackle the issues and address the impact of abnormal or unhealthy interpersonal behaviors and interactions in the workplace. Drawing from literature on dysfunctional organizational cultures and workplaces from the library, management, and organizational development disciplines, Jo Henry, Jo Eshleman, and Richard Moniz approach the subject of the dysfunctional library in a slim volume titled The Dysfunctional Library: Challenges and Solutions to Workplace Relationships

City of Buffalo Common Council

The Mayor is responsible for all executive and administrative functions and controls the day-to-day affairs of the City. Under the City Charter the Mayor may veto actions taken by the Council. The Council may override the Mayor’s veto with a vote of six of the nine members. Each Council Member is elected by receiving a majority of the vote from the district in which they are seeking to serve. The leadership positions of the Common Council are selected by and from the Common Council Members to serve in a Leadership position for a two year period. These positions include President, President Pro-Tempore, and Majority and Minority Leaders

Hear No Evil, See No Evil: How Technology Influences the Ethics of Life Inside the Womb

Abortion is a very prevalent occurrence in the U.S. and for some time has even been encouraged as emergency birth control. However, many women are not educated about the life they are terminating when deciding to have an abortion. In fact, many women are even lied to in order to persuade them to have an abortion because abortion clinics are looking to profit. Technology like ultrasounds help women see, hear, and understand the physical life that is growing in them, and can help them make an informed decision. This documentary takes a closer look into how advanced technology can impact a woman’s decision

Tribomaterial factors in space mechanism brake performance

The asbestos/phenolic pads of Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS) brakes are unsuitable for use in long life space mechanisms because their friction decreases on extended sliding in high vacuum. Dehydration of the material and accumulation of wear debris in the conforming interface of this tribosystem induces the permanent friction changes. Other polymer and some ceramic based materials exhibit similar frictional torque behavior due to the development of minimal contact patches by the interfacial debris. In contrast, high friction occurs when other ceramics form many small contacts throughout fine debris beds. Generating this latter interfacial structure during run-in ensures that the in-vacuo friction remains stable thereafter. Such materials with low wear rates are potential candidates for friction elements in SSRMS and similar mechanisms
