John Erlinger Case Study

Improved Essays
It is my pleasure to take this opportunity and heartily recommend John Erlinger for the position of scientist for the EMBL-ESRF Beamline I23-2 upgrade at the ESRF. Darren’s efforts with Beamline 9.2.2 of the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology at the Advanced Light Source were instrumental in the success of our program and make him richly qualified for such a position. The positive impact of his work at 4.2.2 is still appreciated on a daily basis. He has a demonstrated record in developing essential instrumentation and techniques at a synchrotron beamline.

Darren began work with the MBC as an engineering associate in April of 2003 assisting the Scientific Director in the building of the Beamline 4.2.2. His duties and projects included installation

I could always count on his self-directed efforts, especially during the upgrade to the air-bearing goniometer, M1 mirror motorization, and the design and implementation of our pneumatics system. Darren’s predilection is to treat diagnostic and troubleshooting tasks as puzzles, thus encouraging a positive environment during potentially stressful times. These qualities have engendered a level of trust that I rely on as I can always expect from him an honest and accurate assessment of a situation. He is a pleasure to work with, provided great support to our users, has been a patient teacher to subsequent engineering associates of the beamline, and is well liked and respected on the experimental …show more content…
Luckily, his work began at the ALS and the MBC was able to keep him as a part-time employee until March 2008. Since then, he has been available to help the beamline on a consulting basis. I would not hesitate to re-hire Darren and have in fact done all I can to keep him involved with the beamline over the years. It is with great confidence in his positive impact on your program that I recommend him to your

    1.0 INTRODUCTION Brinkerhoff International Inc, (BII), is a Canadian Oil and Natural Gas company, located in Northern, Calgary, Alberta, and Northeastern British Columbia on the Western Sedimentary Basin, an area with multi-trillion cubic feet (mcf) of proven gas reserves (Barnes, 1994).

    In his article “Mr. Roosevelt is Guilty,” Gary Murphy notes the standard analysis of Roosevelt's third presidential run: bored with civilian life and having a need to obtain power, he decided to seek revenge on Taft who had “failed to live up to the mentor's hopes,” (Murphy 441). Andrew Pavord also notes the revenge element of the standard analysis. Pavord references George Mowry's argument that Roosevelt ran for a third term because he was “prompted by his intense anger” at the antitrust suit (Pavord 1). Both Murphy and Pavord differ from the common analysis but provide different reasons for why Roosevelt decided to run for a third term. Noting that there was a revenge element to the reelection bid, Pavord contends that…

    John Dillinger – The Creation of the First Public Enemy #1 During the early 1930’s the Great Depression and the collapsing banking system was not the only thing being talked about by many Americans; or a constant topic for newspapers and radio discussions. In 1933 and 1934 John Dillinger was a hot topic among people; as well as a main headline for the news. Who was John Dillinger and how could one man cause so much chaos, in so many places, in such a short amount of time? Was he born with something that caused him to be bad or did his circumstances (losses, prison, the Depression, and the publicity) help to create another America’s Public Enemy Number One?…

    In Johnny’s case, his attorney is claiming Johnny’s death sentence is cruel and unusual punishment, and wants a new ruling which helps establish Johnny’s class of people an exemption from the death penalty. Utilizing Atkins as precedent, there is a need for empirical evidence in order to support Johnny’s claim. Atkins utilized empirical evidence pertaining to: the number of states whose laws permit such individuals to be executed, the trend of the issue, poll data of the issue, and the amount of actual executions for this class of person. This ultimately begs the question, how would the Court respond to the claim that Atkins should be extended to persons who “had severe mental problems but were not legally insane and had an IQ over 70”?…

    Some of the challenges Dan encountered in trying to implement the iPod program was cost, nursing homes' skepticism of how such a thing could be implemented, and availability of volunteers to implement it. I think a lot of these challenges can start to be overcome by everyday people caring, volunteering, and donating. As we saw towards the end of the documentary, many people were moved by Henry's response to music, and the feelings that his response brought to people motivated them to get more involved in helping so that other elderly people could come alive the same way that Henry did. This small movement within people brought out a lot of positive outcomes. Like Dan said in the interview shown, involving the community and motivating people to donate iPods and volunteer can bring about a lot of great change in the way nursing home operate and how the residents feel.…

    Clifford Olson Case Study

    • 1895 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Though his killings occurred over thirty years ago Clifford Olson is still known as one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers. Active through the years 1980-1981 he was responsible for eleven gruesome murders in that short time span. The shocking nature of his crimes ensured nobody would forget his notorious deeds. To build on that, Olson is loathed because he extorted authorities into paying $100,000 for the locations of his victims’ remains, an agreement that haunted the survivors of Olson’s crimes. Furthermore, his crime spree led neighbourhoods that once claimed to be “so safe you could leave your door open” to secure their doors; hitchhikers were seldom found on highways, and telephone poles were covered with posters warning that nearly…
