Running Head: ECONOMIC BRIEF 1 ECONOMIC BRIEF 3 Economic Brief Lucy Rowell ECO100 Professor Cole 5/2/19 Economic Brief Amusement and theme parks are places where people visit so that they can have fun and also they can take their meals because restaurants are available in the amusement and theme parks. People can do various things when they visit these places because there are different types of activities which one can participate while having fun. These facilities are more elaborate when they are compared to the city parks and playgrounds because they provide attractions which attract different age groups. There are also some differences between amusement parks and theme parks because amusement parks contain themed areas and as for the theme parks, they focus more on the more intricately designed themes which are revolving around some specific subjects (Martin, 2015). Industry Goods and Services There are various services which are offered by amusement and theme parks which include shows, rides, retail outlets, ad food services facilities. These activities are aimed at ensuring that the clients are having fun whenever they visit the place. Since having only one type of activity will discourage people from visiting the lace because they will get bored with the only activity being carried out, the organization ensured that there are various activities which the clients can participate in. In addition, retail outlet enables the clients to buy what they want within the parks. The restaurants make availability of food to the clients easy hence they will spend more time within the parks since all that they need is available (Mathew, 2015). Market Structure and Characteristics The market structure of the amusement and theme parks is perfect competition in that it is competing with other organizations which offer similar services to win more customers. There are other parks which are smaller as compared to the amusement parks and theme parks but they offer most of the services which are offered by amusement and theme parks. So, to win more customers, the organization ensures that customer satisfaction is achieved. This, therefore, has encouraged amusement parks and theme parks to expand their services by providing more services within the parks like providing foods in the restaurants and also by opening retail outlets. These are the additional services which are offered so that they can win more customers in the competitive market. Microeconomic Relationships, Market Outcomes, and/or Trends The trends for the market of amusement parks and theme parks is that they will keep expanding and making more profits because they are offering different activities at the sam.

Market analysis is determined to be the qualitative and quantitative assessment of a market based on various aspects. However, the primary aim of the paper is to conduct US market analysis by determining the size, growth, and trend of the market along with customer analysis. 3. US market analysis 3.1. Marketing research US market has experienced steady growth for five years to 2019 by increasing growth in internet advertising expenditure along with research and development. It provides dynamic and efficient opportunities for companies to operate a business in the US. The US market is the largest consumer market across the world, which possesses the potential to attract a considerable consumer base by fulfilling their needs. As a result, it helps most of the companies to increase their sales volume. While preparing products or services, companies in the US focus on the quality, needs, and expectations of the consumers (Hatheway, Kwan & Zheng, 2017). However, through increasing variety and lowering the cost of the products, the US market provides various advantages to its consumers. It determines consumer behavior by acknowledging that the majority of customers like cool brands. Operating in the US market, companies are required to follow specific regulations like licensing duties and customs regulations along with Consumer Data Privacy Laws. According to the US Department of Energy, solar energy is more prevalent, accessible and affordable than before. Solar-friendly laws have widely contributed to the growth of the solar industry in the US. The list of federation laws are: Department of Energy Organization Act of 1997: The purpose of this Act is to ensure America’s prosperity and security by addressing its energy, nuclear and environmental challenges through technology solutions and transformative science. The Federal Power Act of 1935: It coordinates the development of hydroelectric projects in US more effectively. Federation Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Orders 890 and 1000: It transmits the provider’s requirement to organize transmission planning at the local and regional level. It provides flexibility to methods of cost distribution of transmission upgrades. FERC order 2006: Its purpose is to address interconnection standards for small generators. Energy Policy Act of 2005: This law focuses towards promoting energy self-sufficiency and improvements in US. It also includes considerable changes in interconnection legislation. FERC Orders 819 and 827: This provision deals with the sale of primary frequency response services by sellers at market.

Mother of the Year In recognition of superlative parenting Elizabeth Nino is awarded 2012 Mother of the Year May 9, 2012 MOM Smash That Like Button: Facebook’s Chris Cox Is Messing with One of the Most Valuable Features on the Internet Inside Facebook’s Decision to Blow Up the Like Button The most drastic change to Facebook in years was born a year ago during an off-site at the Four Seasons Silicon Valley, a 10-minute drive from headquarters. Chris Cox, the social network’s chief product officer, led the discussion, asking each of the six executives around the conference room to list the top three projects they were most eager to tackle in 2015. When it was Cox’s turn, he dropped a bomb: They needed to do something about the “like” button. The like button is the engine of Facebook and its most recognized symbol. A giant version of it adorns the entrance to the company’s campus in Menlo Park, Calif. Facebook’s 1.6 billion users click on it more than 6 billion times a day—more frequently than people conduct searches on Google—which affects billions of advertising dollars each quarter. Brands, publishers, and individuals constantly, and strategically, share the things they think will get the most likes. It’s the driver of social activity. A married couple posts perfectly posed selfies, proving they’re in love; a news organization offers up what’s fun and entertaining, hoping the likes will spread its content. All those likes tell Facebook what’s popular and should be shown most often on the News Feed. But the button is also a blunt, clumsy tool. Someone announces her divorce on the site, and friends grit their teeth and “like” it. There’s a devastating earthquake in Nepal, and invariably a few overeager clickers give it the ol’ thumbs-up. Changing the button is like Coca-Cola messing with its secret recipe. Cox had tried to battle the like button a few times before, but no idea was good enough to qualify for public testing. “This was a feature that was right in the heart of the way you use Facebook, so it needed to be executed really well in order to not detract and clutter up the experience,” he says. “All of the other attempts had failed.” The obvious alternative, a “dislike” button, had been rejected on the grounds that it would sow too much negativity. Cox told the Four Seasons gathering that the time was finally right for a change, now that Facebook had successfully transitioned a majority of its business to smartphones. His top deputy, Adam Mosseri, took a deep breath. “Yes, I’m with you,” he said solemnly. Later that week, Cox brought up the project with his boss and longtime friend. Mark Zuckerberg’s response showed just how much leeway Cox has to take risks with Facebook’s most important service. “He said something like, ‘Yes, do it.’ He was fully supportive,” Cox says. “Good luck,” he remembers Zuckerberg telling him. “That’s a hard one.” The solution would eventually be named Reactions. It will arrive .

Mr. B, a 40-year-old avid long-distance runner previously in good health, presented to his primary provider for a yearly physical examination, during which a suspicious-looking mole was noticed on the back of his left arm, just proximal to the elbow. He reported that he has had that mole for several years, but thinks that it may have gotten larger over the past two years. Mr. B reported that he has noticed itchiness in the area of this mole over the past few weeks. He had multiple other moles on his back, arms, and legs, none of which looked suspicious. Upon further questioning, Mr. B reported that his aunt died in her late forties of skin cancer, but he knew no other details about her illness. The patient is a computer programmer who spends most of the work week indoors. On weekends, however, he typically goes for a 5-mile run and spends much of his afternoons gardening. He has a light complexion, blonde hair, and reports that he sunburns easily but uses protective sunscreen only sporadically. Physical exam revealed: Head, neck, thorax, and abdominal exams were normal, with the exception of a hard, enlarged, non-tender mass felt in the left axillary region. In addition, a 1.6 x 2.8 cm mole was noted on the dorsal upper left arm. The lesion had an appearance suggestive of a melanoma. It was surgically excised with 3 mm margins using a local anesthetic and sent to the pathology laboratory for histologic analysis. The biopsy came back Stage II melanoma. 1.

Moving members of the organization through the change process can be quite difficult. As leaders take on this challenge of shifting practice from the current state to the future, they face the obstacles of confidence and competence experienced by staff. Change leaders understand the importance of recognizing their moral purpose and helping others to do the same. Effective leaders foster moral purpose by building relationships, considering other’s perspectives, demonstrating respect, connecting others, and examining progress (Fullan & Quinn, 2016). For this Discussion, you will clarify your own moral perspective and how it will impact the elements of focusing direction. To prepare: · Review the Adams and Miskell article. Reflect on the measures taken in building capacity throughout the organization. · Review Fullan and Quinn’s elements of Focusing Direction in Chapter 2. Reflect on aspects needed to build capacity as a leader. · Analyze the two case examples used to illustrate focused direction in Chapter 2. · Clarify your own moral purpose, combining your personal values, persistence, emotional intelligence, and resilience. A brief summary clarifying your own moral imperative. · Using the guiding questions in Chapter 2 on page 19, explain your moral imperative and how you can use your strengths to foster moral imperative in others. · Based on Fullan’s information on change leadership, in which areas do you feel you have strong leadership skills? Which areas do you feel you need to continue to develop? Learning Resources Required Readings Fullan, M., & Quinn, J. (2016).

Mr. Friend is a crime analyst with the Santa Cruz, California, Police Department. Predictive Policing: Using Technology to Reduce Crime By Zach Friend, M.P.P. 4/9/2013 Nationwide law enforcement agencies face the problem of doing more with less. Departments slash budgets and implement furloughs, while management struggles to meet the public safety needs of the community. The Santa Cruz, California, Police Department handles the same issues with increasing property crimes and service calls and diminishing staff. Unable to hire more officers, the department searched for a nontraditional solution. In late 2010 researchers published a paper that the department believed might hold the answer. They proposed that it was possible to predict certain crimes, much like scientists forecast earthquake aftershocks. An “aftercrime” often follows an initial crime. The time and location of previous criminal activity helps to determine future offenses. These researchers developed an algorithm (mathematical procedure) that calculates future crime locations.1 Equalizing Resources The Santa Cruz Police Department has 94 sworn officers and serves a population of 60,000. A university, amusement park, and beach push the seasonal population to 150,000. Department personnel contacted a Santa Clara University professor to apply the algorithm, hoping that leveraging technology would improve their efforts. The police chief indicated that the department could not hire more officers. He felt that the program could allocate dwindling resources more efficiently. Santa Cruz police envisioned deploying officers by shift to the most targeted locations in the city. The predictive policing model helped to alert officers to targeted locations in real time, a significant improvement over traditional tactics. Making it Work The algorithm is a culmination of anthropological and criminological behavior research. It uses complex mathematics to estimate crime and predict future hot spots. Researchers based these studies on In Depth Featured Articles - IAFIS Identifies Suspect from 1978 Murder Case - Predictive Policing: Using Technology to Reduce Crime - Legal Digest Part 1 - Part 2 Search Warrant Execution: When Does Detention Rise to Custody? - Perspective Public Safety Consolidation: Does it Make Sense? - Leadership Spotlight Leadership Lessons from Home Archive - Web and Print Departments - Bulletin Notes - Bulletin Honors - ViCAP Alerts - Unusual Weapons - Bulletin Reports Topics in the News See previous LEB content on: - Hostage Situations - Crisis Management - School Violence - Psychopathy About LEB - History - Author Guidelines (pdf) - Editorial Staff - Editorial Release Form (pdf) Patch Call Known locally as the “Gateway to the Summit,” which references the city’s proximity to the Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve.

Motor Milestones occur in a predictable developmental progression in young children. They begin with reflexive movements that develop into voluntary movement patterns. For the motor milestone of independent walking, there are many precursor reflexes that must first integrate and beginning movement patterns that must be learned. Explain the motor progression of walking in a child, starting with the integration of primitive reflexes to the basic motor skills needed for a child to walk independently. Discuss at which time frame each milestone occurs from birth to walking (12-18 months of age). What are some reasons why a child could be delayed in walking? At what age is a child considered delayed in walking and in need of intervention? What interventions are available to children who are having difficulty walking? Please be sure to use APA citations for all sources used to formulate your answers. .

Most women experience their closest friendships with those of the same sex. Men have suffered more of a stigma in terms of sharing deep bonds with other men. Open affection and connection is not actively encouraged among men. Recent changes in society might impact this, especially with the advent of the meterosexual male. “The meterosexual male is less interested in blood lines, traditions, family, class, gender, than in choosing who they want to be and who they want to be with” (Vernon, 2010, p. 204). In this week’s reading material, the following philosophers discuss their views on this topic: Simone de Beauvoir, Thomas Aquinas, MacIntyre, Friedman, Hunt, and Foucault. Make sure to incorporate their views as you answer each discussion question. Think about how their views may be similar or different from your own. In at least 250 words total, please answer each of the following, drawing upon your reading materials and your personal insight: To what extent do you think women still have a better opportunity to forge deeper friendships than men? What needs to change to level the friendship playing field for men, if anything? How is the role of the meterosexual man helping to forge a new pathway for male friendships? .

Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. However, it is important for nurses to be able to know the signs and symptoms associated with the five phases of aggression, and to appropriately apply nursing interventions to assist in treating aggressive patients. Please read the case study below and answer the four questions related to it. Aggression Case Study Christopher, who is 14 years of age, was recently admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia. He has a history of aggressive behavior and states that the devil is telling him to kill all adults because they want to hurt him. Christopher has a history of recidivism and noncompliance with his medications. One day on the unit, the nurse observes Christopher displaying hypervigilant behaviors, pacing back and forth down the hallway, and speaking to himself under his breath. As the nurse runs over to Christopher to talk, he sees that his bedroom door is open and runs into his room and shuts the door. The nurse responds by attempting to open the door, but Christopher keeps pulling the door shut and tells the nurse that if the nurse comes in the room he will choke the nurse. The nurse responds by calling other staff to assist with the situation. 1. What phase of the aggression cycle is Christopher in at the beginning of this scenario? What phase is he in at the end the scenario? (State the evidence that supports your answers). 2. What interventions could have been implemented to prevent Christopher from escalating at the beginning of the scenario? 3. What interventions should the nurse take to deescalate the situation when Christopher is refusing to open his door? 4. If a restrictive intervention (restraint/seclusion) is used, what are some important steps for the nurse to remember? SCHOLAR NURSING ARTICLE>>>APA FORMAT>>> .

Most of our class readings and discussions to date have dealt with the issue of ethics and ethical behavior. Various philosophers have made contributions to jurisprudence including how to apply ethical principles (codes of conduct?) to ethical dilemma. Your task is to watch the Netflix documentary ‘The Social Dilemma.’ If you cannot currently access Netflix it offers a free trial opportunity, which you can cancel after viewing the documentary. Should this not be an option for whatever reason, then please email me and we will create an alternative ethics question. DUE DATE: Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020 by noon SEND YOUR NO MORE THAN 5 PAGE DOUBLE SPACED RESPONSE TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS. LATE PAPERS SUBJECT TO DOWNGRADING As critics have written, the documentary showcases ways our minds are twisted and twirled by social media companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google through their platforms and search engines, and the why of what they are doing, and what must be done to stop it. After watching the movie, respond to the following questions in the order given. Use full sentences and paragraphs, and start off each section by stating the question you are answering. Be succinct. What are the critical ethical issues identified? What concerns are raised over the polarization of society and promulgation of fake news? What is the “attention-extraction model” of software design and why worry? What is “surveillance capitalism?” Do you agree that social media warps your perceptions of reality? Who has the power and control over these social media platforms – software designers, artificial intelligence (Ai), CEOs of media platforms, users, government? Are social media platforms capable of self-regulation to address the political and ethical issues raised or not? If not, then should government regulate? What other actions can be taken to address the basic concern of living in a world “…where no one believes what’s true.” .

Most of the ethical prescriptions of normative moral philosophy tend to fall into one of the following three categories: deontology, consequentialism, and virtue ethics. These categories in turn put an emphasis on different normative standards for judging what constitutes right and wrong actions. Moral psychologists and behavioral economists such as Jonathan Haidt and Dan Ariely take a different approach: focusing not on some normative ethical framework for moral judgment, but rather on the psychological foundations of moral intuition and on the limitations that our human frailty places on real-world honesty, decency, and ethical commitments. In this context, write a short essay (minimum 400 words) on what you see as the most important differences between the traditional normative philosophical approaches and the more recent empirical approach of moral psychology when it comes to ethics. As part of your answer also make sure that you discuss the implications of these differences. Deadline reminder: this assignment is due on June 14th . Any assignments submitted after that date will lose 5 points (i.e., 20% of the maximum score of 25 points) for each day that they are submitted late. Accordingly, after June 14th, any submissions would be worth zero points and at that time the assignment inbox will close. .

Most healthcare organizations in the country are implementing quality improvement programs to save lives, enhance customer satisfaction, and reduce the cost of healthcare services. Limited human and material resources often undermine such efforts. Zenith Hospital in a rural community has 200 beds. Postsurgical patients tend to contract infections at the surgical site, requiring extended hospitalization. Mr. Jones—75 years old—was admitted to Zenith Hospital for inguinal hernia repairs. He was also hypertensive, with a compromised immune system. Two days after surgery, he acquired an infection at the surgical site, with elevated temperature, and then he developed septicemia. His condition worsened, and he was moved to isolation in the intensive care unit (ICU). A day after transfer to the ICU, he went into ventricular arrhythmia and was placed on a respirator and cardiac monitoring machine. Intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and antipyretics could not bring the fever down, and blood analysis continued to deteriorate. The hospital infection control unit got involved. The team confirmed that postsurgical infections were on the increase, but the hospital was unable to identify the sources of infection. The surgery unit and surgical team held meetings to understand possible sources of infection. The team leader had earlier reported to management that they needed to hire more surgical nurses, arguing that nurses in the unit were overworked, had to go on leave, and often worked long hours without break. Mr. Jones’ family members were angry and wanted to know the source of his infection, why he was on the respirator in isolation, and why his temperature was not coming down. Unfortunately, his condition continued to deteriorate. His daughter invited the family’s legal representative to find out what was happening to her father and to commence legal proceedings. Then, the healthcare manager received information that two other patients were showing signs of postsurgical infection. The healthcare manager and care providers acknowledged the serious quality issues at Zenith Hospital, particularly in the surgical unit. The healthcare manager wrote to the Chairman of the Hospital Board, seeking approval to implement a quality improvement program. The Board held an emergency meeting and approved the manager’s request. The healthcare manager has invited you to support the organization in this process. Please address the following questions in your response: What are successful approaches for gaining a shared understanding of the problem? How can effective communication be implemented? What is a qualitative approach that helps in identifying the quality problem? What tools can provide insight into understanding the problem? In quality improvement, what does appreciative inquiry help do? What is a benefit of testing solutions before implementation? What is a challenge that is inherent in the application of the plan, do, study, act (PDSA) method? What .

Mortgage-Backed Securities and the Financial Crisis Kelly Finn FNCE 4302 Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) are “pass-through” bundles of housing debt sold as investment vehicles A mortgage-backed security, MBS, is a type of asset-backed security that pays investors regular payments, similar to a bond. It gets the title as a “pass-through” because the security involves several entities in the origination and securitization process (where the asset is identified, and where it is used as a base to create a new investment instrument people can profit off of). Key Players involved in the MBS Process [Mortgage] Lenders: banks who sell mortgages to GSE’s GSE: Government Sponsored Entities created by the US Government to make owning property more accessible to Americans 1938: Fannie Mae (FNMA): Federal National Mortgage Assoc. 1970: Freddie Mac (FHLMC): Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. Increase mortgage borrowing Introduce competitor to Fannie Mae 1970: Ginnie Mae (GNMA): Government National Mortgage Assoc. US Government: Treasury: implicit commitment of providing support in case of trouble The several entities involved in the process make MBS a “pass-through”. Here we have 3 main entities that we’ll call “Key Players” for the purpose of this presentation which aims to provide you with a basic and simple explanation of MBS and their role in the financial crisis. GSE’s created by the US Government in 1938 Part of FDR’s New Plan during Great Depression Purpose: make owning property more accessible to more Americans GSE (ex. Fannie Mae) buys mortgages (debt) from banks, & then pools mortgages into little bundles investors can buy (securitization) Bank’s mortgage is exchanged with GSE’s cash Created liquid secondary market for mortgages Result: 1) Bank has more cash to lend out to people 2) Now all who want to a house (expensive) can get the money needed to buy one! Where MBS came from & when Yay for combatting homelessness and increasing quality of life for the common American! Thanks Uncle Sam! MBS have been around for a long time. Officially in the US, they have their origins in government. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into creation Fannie Mae that was brought about to help ease American citizen’s difficulty in becoming homeowners. The sole purpose of a GSE thus was to not make profit, but to promote citizen welfare in regards to housing. Seeing that it was created by regulatory government powers, it earned the title of Government Sponsored Entity, which we will abbreviate as GSE. 2 other GSE’s in housing were created in later decades like Freddie Mae, to further stimulate the mortgage market alongside Fannie, and Ginnie which did a similar thing but only for certain groups of people (Veterans, etc) and to a much smaller scale. How MBS works: Kelly is a homeowner looking to borrow a lot of money *The Lender, who issued Kelly the mor.
