1. When we talk about funding for the Department of State and various international programs, we are talking about the federal budget process. Federal agencies are funded through Congressional action. In a simplified overview, the House and Senate Budget Committees establish budget levels, the Authorizing Committees assign funds to specific agencies and programs under their jurisdiction, and the Appropriations Committees secure and provide the funds for these purposes. How well is this system working today? What are the major issues? How can they be resolved? 350 words with references on one page 2. The Disaster Response and Contingency Planning guide is a basic foundation for responding to a disaster or crisis by organizational entities ranging from businesses, schools, and government levels from local to regional to national. One of the functional annexes typically included in such plans is one for pets and animals. The Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2006 (PL 109-308), informally known as the PETS Act, provides that certain state-designated shelters are required by statute to provide co-located shelter facilities for pets. Is this a best use of scarce resources? What should the government’s responsibility be for pets? 350 words with references on one page .

US Department of Treasury Budgetary Spending
Department of treasury is a part of executive department of the United States federal government. The department was established by the congress in year 1979 to manage government revenue. Its main administrator is secretary of the treasury who serves in the cabinet. Moreover, treasurer of the United States plays a major role in the administration of the department. The department has a wide range of responsibilities. First, the department produces all the currency, coinage and postage stamps of the US. Moreover, the department collects taxes, duties and monies paid to the federal government. Another major function is the management of public accounts and public debt. Furthermore, the department supervises national banks and other financial institutions. The department also gives the federal government advice on domestic and international fiscal policies. The department also helps in enforcing federal finance and tax laws and publishing statistical reports. The treasury also joins forces with other management bodies to come up with the federal budget. First, there is Office of Management and Budget that estimates the spending for the executive branch. Secondly, there is the Joint Committee on Taxation that estimates the revenue for the congress. Lastly, there is Congressional Budget office that estimates spending for the congress. With their joint forces, the treasury helps formulate the president’s budgetary request taken to the congress for the approval. In designing the federal budget, the treasury has to act within various subcommittees jurisdictions through enactment of legislation. These subcommittees have jurisdiction over various agencies budgeting request. By year 2012, there were twelve subcommittees in both the house and the senate whose their mandate was to determine the budget ceiling for the various federal agencies.
First, there is states senate appropriation committee on agriculture, rural development, food, and drug administration. The committee has jurisdiction over the department of agriculture discretionary spending and safety programs at the food and drug administration as well as in foreign agriculture assistance program. It also oversees rural development programs like rural housing loans guarantee and rural electrification program. For 2012 fiscal year, the total budget request from the agency totaled over four billion dollars. The committee makes appropriation decisions regarding the budget that should be allocated to the department for normal operations and staffing purposes. The rest of the money is raised form user fees with pharmaceutical firms contributing the majority of the budget. In the federal budget function, the agency falls in the function 450 that is concerned with community and regional developm.
hypocrisy_report
This document summarizes a report that examines the farm subsidy payments received by 33 current Montana legislators from 1995 to 2009. It finds that the total payments to farms and ranches owned by these legislators was $7,055,618. The legislator whose farm received the most was Rep. Janna Taylor, whose Twin Creek Ranch received over $1 million. The report analyzes payments by county, region of Montana, political party, and legislative chamber, finding that most beneficiaries were Republican legislators from eastern Montana. It notes the hypocrisy of legislators who criticize government spending while personally benefitting from farm subsidy programs.
Discussion Topic #1 What are the two key recommendations .docx
The two key recommendations from the 9/11 Report that will have the most impact are:
1. Improving information sharing and coordination among government agencies related to homeland security.
2. Strengthening emergency preparedness and response at all levels of government.
The National Response Framework was created to address these recommendations by establishing structures for coordinated domestic incident response, defining roles for all levels of government and the private sector, and emphasizing preparedness planning and cross-agency partnerships.

What’s New in the National Response Framework
New Name:
The
National Response Framework
supersedes the
National Response Plan
and more adequately serves as a guide to how the nation conducts incident response. The new name better aligns the document with its intent.
Purpose
: To ensure that government executives, private sector, nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners across the nation understand domestic incident response roles, responsibilities and relationships in order to respond more effectively to any type of incident.
Broader Scope:
The
Framework
provides structures for implementing national-level policy and operational coordination for domestic incident response. In this document, incidents include actual or potential emergencies or all-hazard events that range from accidents and natural disasters to actual or potential terrorist attacks. Such incidents range from modest events wholly contained within a single community to others that are catastrophic in nature and national in their scope of consequences.
Wider Audience:
The
Framework
is intended for executive leadership and emergency management practitioners at all levels of government, as well as private sector, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
Integrated Key Concepts:
An effective, unified national response requires layered, mutually supporting capabilities, with States having the primary responsibility for public health and welfare of its citizens. Five elemental principles of operation constitute national response doctrine:
Engaged partnerships
Tiered response
Scalable, flexible and adaptable operational capabilities
Unity of effort through unified command
Readiness to act
Expanded Focus on Partnerships:
The
Framework
states that an effective national response requires layered, mutually supporting capabilities. This approach affirms that local communities, tribes and States have primary responsibility for the safety and security of their citizens; that local leaders build the foundation for response and that resilient communities begin with prepared individuals and families.
Updated Planning Section:
The
Framework
contains a section that focuses on the critical importance of planning. The intent is to lay the groundwork to:
Link planning, preparedness, resource and asset management processes, and data in a virtual environment;
Prioritize plans and planning efforts to best support homeland security strategies and allow seamless transition to execution; and
Provide parallel and concurrent planning at all levels of government.
Improved Annexes and Appendixes:
The Emergency Support Functions and Support Annexes have been updated and remain an integral part of the
Framework
. The Incident Annexes will be revised a.

Utah State Representative Ken Ivory has been a leader in the pursuit of fiscal self-reliance in Utah, with regard to both issues—federal fund transfers and land ownership. Ivory was a primary sponsor of the Financial Ready Utah bills, as well as the 2012 Transfer of Public Lands Act, which establishes a framework for the transfer of certain federal lands to the state of Utah in the coming years. Ivory also serves as president of the American Lands Council (www.AmericanLandsCouncil.org), a nonprofit composed of state officials, local governments, businesses, organizations and individuals interested in advancing the cause of local control of land access, land use and land ownership.
Earlier this month, Reason Foundation Director of Government Reform Leonard Gilroy interviewed Rep. Ivory on the rationale behind the Financial Ready Utah bills and the Transfer of Public Lands Act, the history of federal control of western lands, and much more.
Government project
The federal bureaucracy relates to animal rights through various agencies that regulate animal treatment. The key agencies are the Department of Agriculture, which enforces the Animal Welfare Act, and the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates antibiotic and hormone use in livestock. These agencies were established to protect both animal welfare and human health and safety. In 1985, the Executive Office of the President issued an animal welfare policy directing federal agencies to enforce standards that minimize animal pain and distress. However, some animal rights activists argue these protections do not go far enough and have threatened scientists.

Separate each question with references **add website to find references**.
1. Americans are a giving, compassionate people. They willingly support any number of domestic and international causes that bring relief and hope to those in need. Is there a limit to this generosity? Some analysts point to what they call “Donor Fatigue.” This describes a situation where people no longer give to causes that they supported in the past. What is “donor fatigue? Critics point to the National Flood Insurance Program as an example. Everyone feels compassion for those who have lost their homes and possessions due to flooding, right? Maybe not. Many insurance companies refuse to underwrite flood insurance in certain locations because the potential liability exceeds the premiums they can charge. Critics assert that taxpayers should not be required to subsidize those who choose to build in known floodplains – they know the risk, they should accept the risk. Is this “donor fatigue?” What do you think? Explain your position.
2. The Disaster Response and Contingency Planning guide is a basic foundation for responding to a disaster or crisis by organizational entities ranging from businesses, schools, and government levels from local to regional to national. One of the functional annexes typically included in such plans is one for pets and animals. The Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2006 (PL 109-308), informally known as the PETS Act, provides that certain state-designated shelters are required by statute to provide co-located shelter facilities for pets. Is this a best use of scarce resources? What should the government’s responsibility be for pets?
3. In your opinion, of which of these seven major issues that can have a significant impact on homeland security represents the greatest threat to the United States? Why?
Weapons of Mass Destruction
Economic Disparity and Social Fragmentation
Water Security, Food Security, and Energy Security
Decreased National and Multinational Solidarity
Unrest Across the Globe
Demographic Change
Cyberthreats
4. The recovery phase of any disaster event creates a huge requirement for manpower for cleanup, repair, and restoration. Traditionally, a sizable segment of the manpower pool is provided by volunteers from NGOs, churches, community organizations, schools, etc. What are the advantages to using volunteers? What are the disadvantages?

How do Astronomers determine the …
of a star?
Technique
Surface temperature
Radial Velocity
Mass
Diameter
Luminosity
Distance
Techniques
for Question 1: Measure the apparent brightness and determine the distance to the star / Measure the Doppler shift / Measure the light curves and Doppler shifts for eclipsing binary stars / Measure the star’s parallax / Measure the peak wavelength of the star’s spectrum and apply Wien’s Law / Measure the period and radial velocity curves for spectroscopic binary stars
2. Matching:
(Review Question 4 on page 682 in OSA) Which method would you use to obtain the distance to each of the following? Choose the best answer below:
Method
A.
An asteroid crossing Earth’s orbit
B.
A star astronomers believe to be no more than 50 light-years from the Sun
C.
A tight group of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy that includes a significant number of variable stars.
D.
A star that is not variable but for which you can obtain a clearly defined spectrum.
Methods
for Question 2: RR Lyrae and/or Cepheid variable stars can be used to determine the distance / Measure the parallax of the object and calculate the distance by triangulation / The information you have is sufficient to allow you to place the star in the correct location on the H-R diagram; this allows you to accurately estimate the object’s luminosity and, using the inverse-square law, its distance / Send a radar beam toward the object and measure the return time
†
3.
(Review Question 5 on page 682 in OSA) What are the luminosity class and spectral type of a star with an effective temperature of 5000 K and a luminosity of 100 Lsun?
A.
First, calculate the radius of the star relative to the Sun using the equation L*/Lsun = (R*/Rsun)2 (T*/Tsun)4. The radius of this star is ( 1/100 times / 1/10 times / 1/5.5 times / the same as / 10 times / 13.5 times / 100 times) the radius of the Sun.
B.
The luminosity class of this star is ( Ia / Ib / II / III / IV / V / wd ). This indicates that it is a ( Bright Supergiant / Less Luminous Supergiant / Bright Giant / Giant / Subgiant / Main Sequence / White Dwarf ) star. If you need help, refer to page 676 in OSA.
C.
The spectral type of this star is ( O / B / A / F / G / K / M ). If you need help, refer to Table 17.2 on page 601 in OSA.

When thinking of purchasing and buying, one may think that the terms mean the same thing. Purchasing, however, is significantly different from buying in that the process refers to buying specific goods or services that will be used by the organization (Benton, 2014). Conversely, buying refers to “procuring items for resale” (Benton, 2014, p. 141). The typical steps in the purchasing cycle are as followed:
1. Identifying the need
2. Specify how much and when the product is needed by
3. Write the purchase order
4. Obtain financial approval
5. Research suppliers
6. Chose the supplier
7. Establish price and terms
8. Place the order
9. Receive the order
10. Approve and pay
11. Update inventory
(Purchasing & Procurement Center, n.d)
Last year, I was involved in an RFP process to determine a new vendor for our relocation program. Each of the steps listed above were apparent throughout the process. The need for the new vendor came from declining service from our then current vendor. We determined that we wanted the new vendor to start providing service in the first quarter of 2020. Relocation vendors were researched and after presentations, a new vendor was identified. The new vendor then supplied a contract with SLA’s and pricing. Once the contract was approved, the vendor started providing the services.
Through this process, I worked with a procurement manager. She used software called Scout to research vendors, initiate the RFP, and collect responses. The software was helpful in making the process easier and more efficient.

Benton (2014) stated, "A typical purchasing department is responsible for the acquisition of a broad range of materials and supplies. Depending on the sales volume, the number of employees, and the functional sophistication, the purchasing activities can be either complex or simple." (P.139)
The steps in the conventional purchasing cycle are as follows:
· Recognizing the Need
· Specifying the exact need
· Determine Source Options
· Investigating applicable pricing and terms
· Choose the supplier
· Create Purchase Order/ Requisition and send for approval
· Place Order
· Receive and Document the order
· Approve Invoices and Pay
· Verify that PO has been closed in system used (Record Maintenance)
The main difference between buying and purchasing is that buying is considered more of an informal general term. It is most commonly related to everyday goods, services, and commodities. Purchasing is much more formal and process-driven. It is often used to refer to larger .

Matching:
How do astronomers determine the physical characteristics of stars? Match each characteristic of stars with an important technique that astronomers use to determine that characteristic. Refer to Table 18.2 and page 660 in Chapter 19 when answering this question. Each answer will be used once.
How do Astronomers determine the …
of a star?
Technique
Surface temperature
Radial Velocity
Mass
Diameter
Luminosity
Distance
Techniques
for Question 1: Measure the apparent brightness and determine the distance to the star / Measure the Doppler shift / Measure the light curves and Doppler shifts for eclipsing binary stars / Measure the star’s parallax / Measure the peak wavelength of the star’s spectrum and apply Wien’s Law / Measure the period and radial velocity curves for spectroscopic binary stars
2. Matching:
(Review Question 4 on page 682 in OSA) Which method would you use to obtain the distance to each of the following? Choose the best answer below:
Method
A.
An asteroid crossing Earth’s orbit
B.
A star astronomers believe to be no more than 50 light-years from the Sun
C.
A tight group of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy that includes a significant number of variable stars.
D.
A star that is not variable but for which you can obtain a clearly defined spectrum.
Methods
for Question 2: RR Lyrae and/or Cepheid variable stars can be used to determine the distance / Measure the parallax of the object and calculate the distance by triangulation / The information you have is sufficient to allow you to place the star in the correct location on the H-R diagram; this allows you to accurately estimate the object’s luminosity and, using the inverse-square law, its distance / Send a radar beam toward the object and measure the return time
†
3.
(Review Question 5 on page 682 in OSA) What are the luminosity class and spectral type of a star with an effective temperature of 5000 K and a luminosity of 100 Lsun?
A.
First, calculate the radius of the star relative to the Sun using the equation L*/Lsun = (R*/Rsun)2 (T*/Tsun)4. The radius of this star is ( 1/100 times / 1/10 times / 1/5.5 times / the same as / 10 times / 13.5 times / 100 times) the radius of the Sun.
B.
The luminosity class of this star is ( Ia / Ib / II / III / IV / V / wd ). This indicates that it is a ( Bright Supergiant / Less Luminous Supergiant / Bright Giant / Giant / Subgiant / Main Sequence / White Dwarf ) star. If you need help, refer to page 676 in OSA.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

1. When we talk about funding for the Department of State and variou.docx
- 1. 1. When we talk about funding for the Department of State and various international programs, we are talking about the federal budget process. Federal agencies are funded through Congressional action. In a simplified overview, the House and Senate Budget Committees establish budget levels, the Authorizing Committees assign funds to specific agencies and programs under their jurisdiction, and the Appropriations Committees secure and provide the funds for these purposes. How well is this system working today? What are the major issues? How can they be resolved? 350 words with references on one page 2. The Disaster Response and Contingency Planning guide is a basic foundation for responding to a disaster or crisis by organizational entities ranging from businesses, schools, and government levels from local to regional to national. One of the functional annexes typically included in such plans is one for pets and animals. The Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2006 (PL 109-308), informally known as the PETS Act, provides that certain state-designated shelters are required by statute to provide co-located shelter facilities for pets. Is this a best use of scarce resources? What should the government’s responsibility be for pets? 350 words with references on one page
