supporting docu-
mentation.
In 2005, the more than 70 agencies of the con-
solidated city-county government used 14 different
document management systems, none of which
could communicate or interact with each other. The
Information Technology department supervised mul-
tiple autonomous IT units with their own systems
and standards. This decentralization created problems
not just with document sharing, but also with docu-
ment security and the ability to audit record keeping
functions, particularly scanned contracts and finan-
cial records. Employee productivity was negatively
impacted through time wasted in locating required
documents from other agencies, duplication of IT
functions, and cumbersome document scanning appli-
cations.
Mayor John Hickenlooper, a proponent of govern-
ment transparency and efficiency, created a central-
ized IT group and assigned it the task of conceiving
an integrated strategy to unify and streamline IT
functions. Scrapping the 14 document management
systems was an obvious first cost-saving action.
The enterprise content management (ECM) system
adopted would need to revamp the city’s contract
record system so that it no longer needed a nightly
reboot, met security standards, and was easily
searchable for employees across agencies. Described
by Al Rosabal, Deputy CIO Denver City and County,
as an “end-of-life” system, the existing system had
poor search capabilities and overall feeble perfor-
mance.
Initially, the Technology Services Group was
stymied in locating a cost-effective solution that could
be implemented without any interruption in service.
Then it discovered Alfresco. Alfresco’s all-Web-based,
open source ECM system was not only affordable to
implement, but would conservatively save Denver
approximately $1.5 million over five years. CIO
Rosabal estimates that, over time, the open source
model could save the city up to $1 million a year in
recurring licensing, deployment, and maintenance
costs as opposed to a proprietary system.
Alfresco’s ECM capabilities include document,
record, and image management, document version-
ing, multi-language support, support for multiple
client operating systems (Windows, GNU/Linux, and
Solaris), Web content management, and integration
with MySQL, which Denver used for its relational
database management system. With a browser-based
graphical user interface and integration with the most
commonly used Microsoft Office suites, Alfresco ECM
was a perfect fit to economically meet Denver’s needs.
Implementation began in 2009 and took place in 6- to
12-week cycles over 15 months’ time. Each cycle also
included employee training. This gradual phase-in
encouraged employee cooperation and allowed time
for feedback before the next learning curve began.
For the auditor and controller offices, Alfresco
was integrated with the current PeopleSoft Financial
Management software so that employees could view

Supply and Demand Guide
To solve the homework problems do the following:
1. Identify the determinant change
2. Shift the appropriate curve in the correct direction
3. Change price appropriately
4. Move along the other curve (the one that did not shift) in response to the price change.
The following information will tell you the determinants and how the change, as well as definitions of the key terms.
Demand
Demand: The amount that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices.
Law of Demand: Price and Quantity Demanded vary inversely.
Quantity Demanded: The amount that consumers are willing and able to buy at a particular price.
Change in Quantity Demanded: Changes in price change the quantity demanded. This is a Movement Along a Demand Curve in Response to a Price Change.
Change in Demand: This is a shift in the position of the demand curve, either upward or downward. If the curve shifts upward, consumers are saying they will pay more for all quantities of the good or service. If it shifts downward, consumers are saying they will pay less for all quantities of the good or service.
Determinants of Demand: The Demand Curve will shift only when one (or more) of the Determinants of Demand changes. These determinants are:
1. Size of Market: the number of consumers in the market for the good or service. If this factor increases, the curve shifts upward (increase in demand). If this decreases, the curve shifts downward (decrease in demand).
2. Consumer Tastes and Preferences: if these shift in favor of a product, the demand curve shifts upward (demand increases); if these shift against a product, the demand curve shifts downward (demand decreases).
3. Consumer Income: as the income of consumers increase, consumers purchase more of all normal goods (assume all the goods in the homework are normal goods), this shifts the demand curve upward (demand increases); if income decreases, then consumers buy less of all normal goods, this shifts the demand curve downward (demand decreases).
4. Prices of Related Goods:
a. Complimentary Goods: These are goods that are used to together like peanut butter and jelly. If the price of peanut butter goes up, the Quantity Demanded of peanut butter will decrease (a movement along a demand curve in response to a price change). However, the Demand for jelly will decline (decrease in demand) as fewer people buy it to go with the peanut butter, since they are buying less peanut butter.
b. Substitute Goods: These are goods that are used in place of each other. If the price of Coke Cola goes up, the Quantity Demanded of Coke does down (a movement along the demand curve). But the Demand for Pepsi – the substitute good – goes up as people substitute the lower priced Pepsi for the higher priced Coke (the Pepsi demand curve shifts upward).
5. Expectations about the Future: If people have a positive view of the future they will consumer more and save less. This shifts th.
Support or refute this statement [T]he Declaration functioned .docx
Support or refute this statement: “[T]he Declaration functioned to mobilize certain groups of Americans, ignoring others. Surely, inspirational language to create secure consensus is still used, in our time, to cover up serious conflicts of interest in that consensus, and to cover up, also, the omission of large parts of the human race”.
I support this statement because the Declaration list was made by listing anything from quartering troops inn colonial homes to imposing taxes without the colonists’ agreement.[footnoteRef:1] Jefferson also stated in the second paragraph of the Declaration that “all men are created to be equal” and that everyone was born with natural rights that no government could take them away and if they ever did, the people have the right to destroy it (the government).[footnoteRef:2] The old ways of freedom will no longer be in use but instead people were to create their own kinds of freedom by self fulfillment and shape the society as they will.[footnoteRef:3] Also Jefferson raised an idea of cutting slave trades for the King because he was afraid of a potential slave riots against the colonies but this was brought down by the Congress because the slave owners did not want to give up the slaves. So this Declaration was not for blacks and the slaves at all.[footnoteRef:4] The statement that “all men are created equal” was not benefitting women much. Politically women were invisible although they gained some power in households, farms, and on the fields. The whole Declaration was to benefit white men of authority.[footnoteRef:5] Also the last part of the Declaration was that the rich could avoid military draft by paying for the substitute while the poor absolutely had to serve.[footnoteRef:6] [1: Foner, Eric, Give Me Liberty!, An American History, Seagull Fourth Ed., Vol 1, (W. W .Norton & Company : New York 2014), 196] [2: Foner, 197] [3: Ibid., 197] [4: Zinn, Howard. "History Is a Weapon., A People's History Of The United States."

Support for Caregivers of Cancer Patients: Transition After
Active Treatment
Barbara A. Given1, Paula Sherwood3, and Charles W. Given2
Abstract
Family caregivers provide uncompensated care and assistance to a family member who has cancer. When
patients move through the care trajectory into the survivorship phase, roles and demands of caregivers change
and caregivers assume responsibility to assist with coordination of ongoing care. The goal of this article is to
describe aspects of caregiver experiences and the roles of caregivers as patients transition from active cancer
treatment into the first and early phase of cancer care. Residual problems for patients and caregivers remain for
some period of time. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 20(10); 2015–21. �2011 AACR.

Sun, sea, sand and tsunami: examining
disaster vulnerability in the tourism
community of Khao Lak, Thailand

The impact of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami on coastal tourism communities highlights the
vulnerability of tourism destinations to external shocks. Based on fieldwork conducted in Thailand
in the wake of this disaster, this paper addresses one fundamental question: what sociopolitical and
environmental conditions contributed to the vulnerability of the affected tourism community of
Khao Lak in the southern Phang Nga Province. We argue that an understanding of the root causes
of destination vulnerability is vital not only for the successful implementation of regional recovery
plans, but also for building long-term resilience against future shocks. In the absence of an appro-
priate tourism vulnerability framework, this paper analyzes Khao Lak’s vulnerability through an
innovative theoretical framework comprised of the sustainability vulnerability framework, rela-
tional scale and place. The findings reveal that Khao Lak’s vulnerability is shaped by 13 interlinked
factors. These are the complex outcomes of social norms and developmental and dynamic gover-
nance processes driven by the competing agendas and scaled actions of key government and industry
stakeholders. The identification and understanding of the drivers of Khao Lak’s vulnerability and a
strong vulnerability framework have significant implications for the wider tourism community. First,
the empirical findings provide tourism communities with a blueprint for understanding the foun-
dations of their vulnerability to external shocks. Second, the tourism vulnerability framework
presented here provides destination communities and government stakeholders with an analytical
tool through which to analyze their unique sociopolitical conditions. Together, these empirical and
theoretical contributions bring us closer to securing sustainable livelihood futures for tourism
dependent communities.

Introduction
The World Tourism Organization (WTO) and nongovernment organizations (NGOs)
such as Tourism Concern and the Netherlands Development Programme have endorsed
tourism as having the capacity to stimulate development, economic growth, new oppor-
tunities for poverty alleviation and self-governance, particularly in regions that are
resource-scarce and have limited livelihood options. (Ashley et al., 2000; WTO, 2005a).
Such endorsements have enticed many developing countries to embrace tourism as a
viable livelihood alternative where fragmented small economies, .
Summary 1271 Wordssecond hand smoke55SIMILARITY.docx
Second hand smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, including hundreds that are toxic and at least 70 that cause cancer. There is no safe level of exposure to second hand smoke. Second hand smoke can cause numerous health issues in infants such as increased risk of asthma, ear infections, respiratory infections, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It may also be linked to conditions like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Health professionals recommend that parents quit smoking, avoid smoking around children, and choose caregivers and environments that are smoke free in order to protect infants from second hand smoke exposure.
Superior Electrical (Superior) was in the business of installing ele.docx
Superior Electrical (Superior) was in the business of installing electrical wiring and related components at new construction sites. Because some employees were assigned company vehicles equipped with company tools and materials and were expected to drive those vehicles to the work sites, Superior required all employment applicants to hold a valid driver’s license. Employees who were assigned a company vehicle were expected to drive for the company during the workday in order to transport job materials and company tools that were kept on the vehicle to job sites. These employees were expected to take the company issued vehicle home at the end of the work day.
Superior hired Cory Jones as an apprentice electrician. Jones had completed an employment application in which he stated that he had a valid driver’s license and had not been cited for any traffic violations. These statements were untrue. His license had been suspended because of numerous traffic violations, including careless driving and driving without a license. Superior did not check on his driving record at the time he was hired because, as an apprentice electrician, he was not being assigned a company vehicle and was not expected to drive for the company during the work day.
About a year after hiring Jones, Superior promoted him to electrician and assigned Jones a company vehicle equipped with a rack for transporting wiring and other materials to and from the work sites. Superior intended that Jones drive during the day for the company and to take the vehicle home after the end of the work day. On a later date, when Jones’s work hours had ended and he was driving home in the company vehicle, he collided with two cars. The collision resulted solely from Jones’s negligence. Carolyn Carson and her son were severely injured in the collision and they sued Superior. The Carson’s alleged two theories of recovery against Superior: respondeat superior and negligent hiring.
Write a four- to five-page paper (not including title and references pages) that addresses the following:
Identify and discuss the legal elements of negligent hiring.
Apply those elements of negligent hiring to the facts given in the case.
Analyze whether Superior would be liable for negligent hiring.
Identify and discuss the legal elements of respondeat superior.
Apply those elements of respondeat superior to the facts given in the case.
Analyze whether Superior would be liable on respondeat superior grounds.

Superstorm scenario–a so-called Superstorm” is predicted to affe.docx
Superstorm scenario:
–a so-called “Superstorm” is predicted to affect the New York City–Long Island, New York area, having travelled up the Atlantic seaboard. Long Island is particularly vulnerable to flooding from the storm if it occurs during the Spring-to-Autumn season; if the storm is predicted during the Fall-to-Spring months, particularly during the winter, the Island is vulnerable to heavy snowfall amounts since it is bounded on both sides by water. In either case, evacuation off of the island is a challenge given that all vehicular traffic must flow through New York City. While this scenario focuses on the response and recovery phases of the Disaster Management Cycle for a single entity, there are numerous such facilities located within Suffolk County. Given the vulnerability of the Island to such extreme weather, mitigation and preparedness issues should be reviewed prior to writing the Collaborative Report deliverable and should likewise inform the After-Action Report deliverable.

Learning Objective 4S.1
Reliability
Reliability
The ability of a product, part, or system to perform its intended function under a prescribed set of conditions
Reliability is expressed as a probability:
The probability that the product or system will function when activated
The probability that the product or system will function for a given length of time
4S-‹#›
© McGraw-Hill Education.
Learning Objective 4S.2
Reliability – When Activated (1 of 5)
Finding the probability under the assumption that the system consists of a number of independent components
Requires the use of probabilities for independent events
Independent event
Events whose occurrence or non-occurrence do not influence one another
4S-‹#›
© McGraw-Hill Education.
Learning Objective 4S.2
Reliability – When Activated (2 of 5)
Rule 1
If two or more events are independent and success is defined as the probability that all of the events occur, then the probability of success is equal to the product of the probabilities of the events
4S-‹#›
© McGraw-Hill Education.
Learning Objective 4S.2
Reliability – When Activated (3 of 5)
Though individual system components may have high reliabilities, the system’s reliability may be considerably lower because all components that are in series must function
One way to enhance reliability is to utilize redundancy
Redundancy
The use of backup components to increase reliability
4S-‹#›
© McGraw-Hill Education.
6
Learning Objective 4S.2
Reliability - When Activated (4 of 5)
Rule 2
If two events are independent and success is defined as the probability that at least one of the events will occur, the probability of success is equal to the probability of either one plus 1.00 minus that probability multiplied by the other probability
4S-‹#›
© McGraw-Hill Education.
Learning Objective 4S.2
Reliability – When Activated (5 of 5)
Rule 3
If two or more events are involved and success is defined as the probability that at least one of them occurs, the probability of success is 1 - P(all fail)
4S-‹#›

Learning Objective 4S.2
Example – Rule 1
A machine has two buttons. In order for the machine to function, both buttons must work. One button has a probability of working of .95, and the second button has a probability of working of .88.
→Button 1 (.95)→Button 2 (.88)

PREPARING FOR YOUR PAPER ASSIGNMENTS
**PLEASE READ**
If you basically understand and adhere to the information in this document, you will probably do a good
job with your paper submissions. It is extremely important that you know we are not here to address
what you previously did with papers in previous courses. We are here to establish the guidelines for this
course and they are provided below in this document.
APA Style – What does this mean for faculty and students?
Strayer University adheres to APA style guidelines as published in the 6th edition of the APA style guide. The
University subscribes to APA style to provide a consistent set of writing and formatting standards that can
be used in all written assignments. APA also ensures that students have a consistent way to provide
documentation for all sources used in assignments.
However, it is also important to note that not all aspects of APA style are applicable to all classes and/
or assignments. Just follow the lead of the instructor for the current course you are in, NOT previous
courses.
What is required?
While each assignment is different, there are some components that are universal to all. These include:
1. Double-space all lines of information in the paper. Spacing beyond double is not permitted.
2. Indent the first line of every paragraph ½ inch. Page-long paragraphs are not permitted.
3. Align the text to the left margin, leaving the right margin “ragged”.
4. The document must have a title page that has a running head with the first page number. There
must also be on the page (centered) the paper title, student’s name, school name, and date of
assignment as minimum information. A sample paper template will be provided and is highly
recommended to use as a source for writting effective papers.
5. Reference lists begin after the last page of text. A reference list is used at the end of the paper to
accurately document all sources cited. The reference list is organized alphabetically, is double-
spaced, and uses a hanging indent paragraph style. NOTE – The reference format will differ
depending on the source (i.e. book, journal article, newspaper, and website). Please refer to the
APA style guide to provide correct documentation and the sample reference list for our course.
6. Headings will be used for all required sections of the paper. In other words, for each criteria
statement for the assignment a heading will determined. The heading should not be a copied and
pasted criteria statement. Instead, student should revise the statement and come up with a
“less-wordy” version for the heading (see sample paper template).
7. In-text citations are used to summarize, paraphrase, or quote; it is important to provide credit when
using others ideas, thoughts, or work. Citations allow the reader to easily find the source document.
Citations for ALL assignme.

Supermax prisons are a relatively new and expensive trend whose ov.docx
Supermax prisons are a relatively new and expensive trend whose overall constitutionality is unclear. Are these institutions a fad or a wise investment?
For your second writing assignment, you will watch three videos. The first, "Solitary," will give you a firsthand account of life in solitary confinement in Red Onion State Prison in Virginia. Please do not skip this video. The second, "Supermax: A Prison Within a Prison," ABC News anchor, Ted Koppel, introduces you to life in a supermax prison in Texas. In the third, "Supermax: Prison Gangs and Racism Behind Bars," Ted Koppel talks with prisoners doomed to solitary confinement due to their gang affiliations. They discuss the dangers that drove them to join—and that keep them looking over their shoulders even in the so-called protective environment of a supermax prison. Mr. Koppel spends a night in solitary confinement to observe firsthand the effects of supermax on inmates—and to document the type of ex-convict who will one day be returned to society: racially intolerant, unrehabilitated, and psychologically and emotionally broken. (These videos are dated, but still very useful).
Here are some questions to think about as you watch the two videos:
1. What is a supermax prison?
2. What is the purpose of a supermax prison?
3. Who should be sent to a supermax prison?
4. What effect do you think a supermax prison would have on the staff who work there? What's a "correctional cocktail"?
5. Would you want to work as a corrections officer in a supermax institution?
With what you now know about supermax prisons, answer the following questions: Do you think supermax facilities are a fad or a wise investment? It is worthwhile to pay the price for supermax confinement, no matter what it cost? Why or why not? What are the consequences of a supermax prison? Is there evidence to suggest that supermax prisons get inmates to modify their behavior so that they feel they do not need to resort to violence? Can we change offending behavior by locking people up in cages?
Please ground your discussion of these issues with the textbook, class lectures, and videos. I do not expect you to list an answer to each of the questions presented, but I expect you to draw connections between these videos and class material.
Grades will be based on the following criteria: a) critical thinking; b) integration of materials; and c) grammar & mechanics. Please re-visit the writing assignment rubric on Canvas before turning in this assignment.
This writing assignment should be 3 full pages. Use Times New Roman 12 point font, double spacing, and 1 inch margins.
Late assignments will not be accepted. Please do not ask for exceptions.

Superior Engineering in Texas Stay or Go Thad Lepp, chief oper.docx
Superior Engineering in Texas: Stay or Go?
Thad Lepp, chief operating officer at Superior Engineering Services (SES), thumbed through the regional sales report for 2013. On the whole, it looked as though the worst was over. Sales were up in every region except for the Midwest, but the Texas figures were troubling. Despite the Lone Star State’s potential, Superior had been unable to penetrate the market there in any meaningful way. Texas was contributing only 2 percent of company revenues. It had been almost 10 years since Superior opened offices in San Antonio and Fort Worth. How much longer should the company work to cultivate this market? Was there enough of an upside to warrant staying the course? Should Superior jettison this market to focus on areas closer to its base of operations in North Carolina? These were questions that would certainly come up when Superior’s executive team held its regular quarterly meeting.
The Engineering Services Industry
The engineering services industry provides studies, design, construction management, and consulting for facilities in support of all sectors of the economy (e.g., residential, commercial, government, transportation, health care, education). The industry was active in all developed (and some undeveloped) portions of the United States.
The engineering services industry consists of many small companies that typically restrict their activities to regional markets, while larger firms have a global presence. The industry was fragmented with the four largest firms controlling less than 14 percent of the industry sales. Despite the low concentration, the 50 largest firms generated approximately 40 percent of industry sales. As the recession deepened and construction projects plunged, many small firms were forced to cease operations. The industry was further fragmented by over 90,000 self-employed professionals; however, they constituted only a very small proportion of industry sales.
The industry was highly dependent on the real estate and government sectors of the U.S. economy. Construction activity and sales declined during the recession beginning in 2007 and continued through 2013 largely due to cuts implemented in a government sequestration. Since 2011, the industry had shown signs of recovery as businesses began to invest in new facilities. However, the federal government scaled back spending on capital projects. Competition was high due to the large number of competitors within the industry. Clients typically made their purchase decisions for engineering services based on reputation for service and quality, experience on previous projects, and price. The demand for engineering services in the United States consisted of industrial and manufacturing projects, transportation, commercial, federal, government, residential, project management, and municipal utilities.
The Texas market had added 24,000 construction jobs as of August 2013, roughly 14 percent of the 168,000 added nationwide. Job gr.

Support for Caregivers of Cancer Patients: Transition After
Active Treatment
Barbara A. Given1, Paula Sherwood3, and Charles W. Given2
Abstract
Family caregivers provide uncompensated care and assistance to a family member who has cancer. When
patients move through the care trajectory into the survivorship phase, roles and demands of caregivers change
and caregivers assume responsibility to assist with coordination of ongoing care. The goal of this article is to
describe aspects of caregiver experiences and the roles of caregivers as patients transition from active cancer
treatment into the first and early phase of cancer care. Residual problems for patients and caregivers remain for
some period of time. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 20(10); 2015–21. �2011 AACR.

Sun, sea, sand and tsunami: examining
disaster vulnerability in the tourism
community of Khao Lak, Thailand

The impact of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami on coastal tourism communities highlights the
vulnerability of tourism destinations to external shocks. Based on fieldwork conducted in Thailand
in the wake of this disaster, this paper addresses one fundamental question: what sociopolitical and
environmental conditions contributed to the vulnerability of the affected tourism community of
Khao Lak in the southern Phang Nga Province. We argue that an understanding of the root causes
of destination vulnerability is vital not only for the successful implementation of regional recovery
plans, but also for building long-term resilience against future shocks. In the absence of an appro-
priate tourism vulnerability framework, this paper analyzes Khao Lak’s vulnerability through an
innovative theoretical framework comprised of the sustainability vulnerability framework, rela-
tional scale and place. The findings reveal that Khao Lak’s vulnerability is shaped by 13 interlinked
factors. These are the complex outcomes of social norms and developmental and dynamic gover-
nance processes driven by the competing agendas and scaled actions of key government and industry
stakeholders. The identification and understanding of the drivers of Khao Lak’s vulnerability and a
strong vulnerability framework have significant implications for the wider tourism community. First,
the empirical findings provide tourism communities with a blueprint for understanding the foun-
dations of their vulnerability to external shocks. Second, the tourism vulnerability framework
presented here provides destination communities and government stakeholders with an analytical
tool through which to analyze their unique sociopolitical conditions. Together, these empirical and
theoretical contributions bring us closer to securing sustainable livelihood futures for tourism
dependent communities.

Introduction
The World Tourism Organization (WTO) and nongovernment organizations (NGOs)
such as Tourism Concern and the Netherlands Development Programme have endorsed
tourism as having the capacity to stimulate development, economic growth, new oppor-
tunities for poverty alleviation and self-governance, particularly in regions that are
resource-scarce and have limited livelihood options. (Ashley et al., 2000; WTO, 2005a).
Such endorsements have enticed many developing countries to embrace tourism as a
viable livelihood alternative where fragmented small economies, .
Summary 1271 Wordssecond hand smoke55SIMILARITY.docx
Second hand smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, including hundreds that are toxic and at least 70 that cause cancer. There is no safe level of exposure to second hand smoke. Second hand smoke can cause numerous health issues in infants such as increased risk of asthma, ear infections, respiratory infections, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It may also be linked to conditions like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Health professionals recommend that parents quit smoking, avoid smoking around children, and choose caregivers and environments that are smoke free in order to protect infants from second hand smoke exposure.
Superior Electrical (Superior) was in the business of installing ele.docx
Superior Electrical (Superior) was in the business of installing electrical wiring and related components at new construction sites. Because some employees were assigned company vehicles equipped with company tools and materials and were expected to drive those vehicles to the work sites, Superior required all employment applicants to hold a valid driver’s license. Employees who were assigned a company vehicle were expected to drive for the company during the workday in order to transport job materials and company tools that were kept on the vehicle to job sites. These employees were expected to take the company issued vehicle home at the end of the work day.
Superior hired Cory Jones as an apprentice electrician. Jones had completed an employment application in which he stated that he had a valid driver’s license and had not been cited for any traffic violations. These statements were untrue. His license had been suspended because of numerous traffic violations, including careless driving and driving without a license. Superior did not check on his driving record at the time he was hired because, as an apprentice electrician, he was not being assigned a company vehicle and was not expected to drive for the company during the work day.
About a year after hiring Jones, Superior promoted him to electrician and assigned Jones a company vehicle equipped with a rack for transporting wiring and other materials to and from the work sites. Superior intended that Jones drive during the day for the company and to take the vehicle home after the end of the work day. On a later date, when Jones’s work hours had ended and he was driving home in the company vehicle, he collided with two cars. The collision resulted solely from Jones’s negligence. Carolyn Carson and her son were severely injured in the collision and they sued Superior. The Carson’s alleged two theories of recovery against Superior: respondeat superior and negligent hiring.
Write a four- to five-page paper (not including title and references pages) that addresses the following:
Identify and discuss the legal elements of negligent hiring.
Apply those elements of negligent hiring to the facts given in the case.
Analyze whether Superior would be liable for negligent hiring.
Identify and discuss the legal elements of respondeat superior.
Apply those elements of respondeat superior to the facts given in the case.
Analyze whether Superior would be liable on respondeat superior grounds.

Superstorm scenario–a so-called Superstorm” is predicted to affe.docx
Superstorm scenario:
–a so-called “Superstorm” is predicted to affect the New York City–Long Island, New York area, having travelled up the Atlantic seaboard. Long Island is particularly vulnerable to flooding from the storm if it occurs during the Spring-to-Autumn season; if the storm is predicted during the Fall-to-Spring months, particularly during the winter, the Island is vulnerable to heavy snowfall amounts since it is bounded on both sides by water. In either case, evacuation off of the island is a challenge given that all vehicular traffic must flow through New York City. While this scenario focuses on the response and recovery phases of the Disaster Management Cycle for a single entity, there are numerous such facilities located within Suffolk County. Given the vulnerability of the Island to such extreme weather, mitigation and preparedness issues should be reviewed prior to writing the Collaborative Report deliverable and should likewise inform the After-Action Report deliverable.

PREPARING FOR YOUR PAPER ASSIGNMENTS
**PLEASE READ**
If you basically understand and adhere to the information in this document, you will probably do a good
job with your paper submissions. It is extremely important that you know we are not here to address
what you previously did with papers in previous courses. We are here to establish the guidelines for this
course and they are provided below in this document.
APA Style – What does this mean for faculty and students?
Strayer University adheres to APA style guidelines as published in the 6th edition of the APA style guide. The
University subscribes to APA style to provide a consistent set of writing and formatting standards that can
be used in all written assignments. APA also ensures that students have a consistent way to provide
documentation for all sources used in assignments.
However, it is also important to note that not all aspects of APA style are applicable to all classes and/
or assignments. Just follow the lead of the instructor for the current course you are in, NOT previous
courses.
What is required?
While each assignment is different, there are some components that are universal to all. These include:
1. Double-space all lines of information in the paper. Spacing beyond double is not permitted.
2. Indent the first line of every paragraph ½ inch. Page-long paragraphs are not permitted.
3. Align the text to the left margin, leaving the right margin “ragged”.
4. The document must have a title page that has a running head with the first page number. There
must also be on the page (centered) the paper title, student’s name, school name, and date of
assignment as minimum information. A sample paper template will be provided and is highly
recommended to use as a source for writting effective papers.
5. Reference lists begin after the last page of text. A reference list is used at the end of the paper to
accurately document all sources cited. The reference list is organized alphabetically, is double-
spaced, and uses a hanging indent paragraph style. NOTE – The reference format will differ
depending on the source (i.e. book, journal article, newspaper, and website). Please refer to the
APA style guide to provide correct documentation and the sample reference list for our course.
6. Headings will be used for all required sections of the paper. In other words, for each criteria
statement for the assignment a heading will determined. The heading should not be a copied and
pasted criteria statement. Instead, student should revise the statement and come up with a
“less-wordy” version for the heading (see sample paper template).
7. In-text citations are used to summarize, paraphrase, or quote; it is important to provide credit when
using others ideas, thoughts, or work. Citations allow the reader to easily find the source document.

Supermax prisons are a relatively new and expensive trend whose ov.docx
Supermax prisons are a relatively new and expensive trend whose overall constitutionality is unclear. Are these institutions a fad or a wise investment?
For your second writing assignment, you will watch three videos. The first, "Solitary," will give you a firsthand account of life in solitary confinement in Red Onion State Prison in Virginia. Please do not skip this video. The second, "Supermax: A Prison Within a Prison," ABC News anchor, Ted Koppel, introduces you to life in a supermax prison in Texas. In the third, "Supermax: Prison Gangs and Racism Behind Bars," Ted Koppel talks with prisoners doomed to solitary confinement due to their gang affiliations. They discuss the dangers that drove them to join—and that keep them looking over their shoulders even in the so-called protective environment of a supermax prison. Mr. Koppel spends a night in solitary confinement to observe firsthand the effects of supermax on inmates—and to document the type of ex-convict who will one day be returned to society: racially intolerant, unrehabilitated, and psychologically and emotionally broken. (These videos are dated, but still very useful).
Here are some questions to think about as you watch the two videos:
1. What is a supermax prison?
2. What is the purpose of a supermax prison?
3. Who should be sent to a supermax prison?
4. What effect do you think a supermax prison would have on the staff who work there? What's a "correctional cocktail"?
5. Would you want to work as a corrections officer in a supermax institution?
With what you now know about supermax prisons, answer the following questions: Do you think supermax facilities are a fad or a wise investment? It is worthwhile to pay the price for supermax confinement, no matter what it cost? Why or why not? What are the consequences of a supermax prison? Is there evidence to suggest that supermax prisons get inmates to modify their behavior so that they feel they do not need to resort to violence? Can we change offending behavior by locking people up in cages?
Please ground your discussion of these issues with the textbook, class lectures, and videos. I do not expect you to list an answer to each of the questions presented, but I expect you to draw connections between these videos and class material.
Grades will be based on the following criteria: a) critical thinking; b) integration of materials; and c) grammar & mechanics. Please re-visit the writing assignment rubric on Canvas before turning in this assignment.
This writing assignment should be 3 full pages. Use Times New Roman 12 point font, double spacing, and 1 inch margins.
Late assignments will not be accepted. Please do not ask for exceptions.

Superior Engineering in Texas Stay or Go Thad Lepp, chief oper.docx
Superior Engineering in Texas: Stay or Go?
Thad Lepp, chief operating officer at Superior Engineering Services (SES), thumbed through the regional sales report for 2013. On the whole, it looked as though the worst was over. Sales were up in every region except for the Midwest, but the Texas figures were troubling. Despite the Lone Star State’s potential, Superior had been unable to penetrate the market there in any meaningful way. Texas was contributing only 2 percent of company revenues. It had been almost 10 years since Superior opened offices in San Antonio and Fort Worth. How much longer should the company work to cultivate this market? Was there enough of an upside to warrant staying the course? Should Superior jettison this market to focus on areas closer to its base of operations in North Carolina? These were questions that would certainly come up when Superior’s executive team held its regular quarterly meeting.
The Engineering Services Industry
The engineering services industry provides studies, design, construction management, and consulting for facilities in support of all sectors of the economy (e.g., residential, commercial, government, transportation, health care, education). The industry was active in all developed (and some undeveloped) portions of the United States.
The engineering services industry consists of many small companies that typically restrict their activities to regional markets, while larger firms have a global presence. The industry was fragmented with the four largest firms controlling less than 14 percent of the industry sales. Despite the low concentration, the 50 largest firms generated approximately 40 percent of industry sales. As the recession deepened and construction projects plunged, many small firms were forced to cease operations. The industry was further fragmented by over 90,000 self-employed professionals; however, they constituted only a very small proportion of industry sales.
The industry was highly dependent on the real estate and government sectors of the U.S. economy. Construction activity and sales declined during the recession beginning in 2007 and continued through 2013 largely due to cuts implemented in a government sequestration. Since 2011, the industry had shown signs of recovery as businesses began to invest in new facilities. However, the federal government scaled back spending on capital projects. Competition was high due to the large number of competitors within the industry. Clients typically made their purchase decisions for engineering services based on reputation for service and quality, experience on previous projects, and price. The demand for engineering services in the United States consisted of industrial and manufacturing projects, transportation, commercial, federal, government, residential, project management, and municipal utilities.
The Texas market had added 24,000 construction jobs as of August 2013, roughly 14 percent of the 168,000 added nationwide. Job gr.
