The Pros and
the Electoral
Should the United States change the way it elects presidents?
Honorable Steve Cohen
United States Representative, Tennessee, Democrat
Rep. Cohen, of Tennessee’s Ninth Congressional District, was elected to the U.S. House
of Representatives in 2006. Prior to his election to Congress, he served in the Tennessee
State Senate for 24 years. He has been a leader on numerous legislative issues including
civil rights, universal health care, transportation and education. Currently he is a mem-
ber of the following House committees: Judiciary; Transportation and Infrastructure;
and Science, Space and Technology. The following is from his Jan. 3, 2019, statement
introducing a constitutional amendment to eliminate the Electoral College.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of a constitutional amendment I introduced
today to eliminate the electoral college and provide for the direct election of our
nation’s President and Vice President.
As Founding Father Thomas Jefferson said, “I am not an advocate for frequent
changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with
the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened,
as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change,
with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with
the times. We might well as require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him
when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous
ancestors.’’
In 2016, for the second time in recent memory, and for the fifth time in our history,
the national popular vote winner did not become President because of the Electoral
College. This has happened twice to candidates from Tennessee: Al Gore and An-
drew Jackson. The reason is because the Electoral College, established to prevent an
uninformed citizenry from directly electing our nation’s President, no longer fits our
nation’s needs.
When the Founders established the Electoral College, it was in an era of limited
nationwide communication. The electoral structure was premised on a theory that
citizens would have a better chance of knowing about electors from their home states
than about presidential candidates from out-of-state. Electors were supposed to be
people of good judgment who were trusted with picking a qualified President and Vice
President on behalf of the people. They held the responsibility of choosing a President
because it was believed that the general public could not be properly informed of the
candidates and the values each held.
That notion — that citizens should be prevented from directly electing the Pres-
ident — is antithetical to our understanding of democra.
The document discusses the Electoral College system for electing the US President. It explains that the Founding Fathers established the Electoral College as a compromise between direct popular election and election by Congress. Electors cast votes in their state capitals to formally elect the President. While citizens vote for electors pledged to candidates, the electors' votes typically align with the state's popular vote.

20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical AttentionV-c.docxRAJU852744
20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention
V-codes and z-codes
V-codes and Z-codes are conditions that may be the focus of clinical attention but are not considered mental disorders. They correspond to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-9-CM (V-codes) and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-10-CM (Z-codes that become effective in 2015. In most instances, third-party payers do not cover charges for delivering services to an individual if the diagnosis is solely a V- or Z-code alone. If the V- or Z-code is not the primary diagnosis then it should be documented following the primary diagnosis. In addition, when writing the psychosocial assessment any psychosocial and cultural factors that might impact the client's diagnosis should be documented. The psychosocial stressors reflected in these diagnoses are widespread across all classes and cultures and have been shown to impact all aspects of an individual's life from the physical and psychological to the financial. Furthermore, these conditions have been shown to significantly impact the diagnosis and outcome for a multitude of mental and medical disorders. V- and Z-codes are grouped into numerous categories including: relational problems, problems related to abuse/neglect, educational and occupational problems, housing and economic problems, problems related to the social environment, problems related to the legal system, other counseling services, other psychosocial, personal and environmental problems, and problems of personal history (APA, 2013).
Broadly speaking, the category “Relational Problems” describes interactional problems between family members (e.g., parent/caregiver-child) or partners that result in significant impairment of family functioning or development of symptoms in the distressed individual, spouses, siblings, or other family members. Relational problems are broken down into two categories, Problems Related to Family Upbringing and Other Problems Related to Primary Support Group. For example, in the first category a Parent-Child Relational Problem involves interactional problems between one or both parents and a child that lead to dysfunction in behavioral (e.g., inadequate protection, overprotection), cognitive (e.g., antagonism toward or blaming of the other) or affective (e.g., feeling sad and angry) realms. Here, the critical factor is the quality of the parent-child relationship or when the dysfunction in this relationship is impacting the course and outcome of a psychological or medical condition. Other examples include Sibling Relational Problem, Upbringing Away from Parents, and Child Affected by Parental Relationship Distress. Similarly, family relationships and interactional patterns leading to problems related to primary support group include Partner Relational Problem, Disruption of Family by Separation/Divorce, High Expressed Emotion Level with.

22-6 | Reporting the Plight of Depression Families
MARTHA GELLHORN, Field Report to Harry Hopkins (1934)
1. From Martha Gellhorn to Harry Hopkins, Report, Gaston County, North Carolina, November 11, 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Harry Hopkins Papers, Box 66. Online transcript available at http://newdeal.feri.org/hopkins/hop08.htm.
Journalist and novelist Martha Gellhorn’s heartrending field report describing impoverished Gastonia, North Carolina, families vividly captures the desperate hope of depression-era families. Hired by Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt’s point man for federal relief efforts, Gellhorn detailed the enormous challenge facing the administration. Compounding the epic humanitarian crisis she encountered was the political opposition, which she singled out as one among many obstacles hampering relief efforts.
All during this trip [to North Carolina] I have been thinking to myself about that curious phrase “red menace,” and wondering where said menace hid itself. Every house I visited — mill worker or unemployed — had a picture of the President. These ranged from newspaper clippings (in destitute homes) to large colored prints, framed in gilt cardboard. The portrait holds the place of honour over the mantel. . . . He is at once God and their intimate friend; he knows them all by name, knows their little town and mill, their little lives and problems. And, though everything else fails, he is there, and will not let them down.
I have been seeing people who, according to almost any standard, have practically nothing in life and practically nothing to look forward to or hope for. But there is hope; confidence, something intangible and real: “the president isn’t going to forget us.”
Let me cite cases: I went to see a woman with five children who was living on relief ($3.40 a week). Her picture of the President was a small one, and she told me her oldest daughter had been married some months ago and had cried for the big, coloured picture as a wedding present. The children have no shoes and that woman is terrified of the coming cold as if it were a definite physical entity. There is practically no furniture left in the home, and you can imagine what and how they eat. But she said, suddenly brightening, “I’d give my heart to see the President. I know he means to do everything he can for us; but they make it hard for him; they won’t let him.” I note this case as something special; because here the faith was coupled with a feeling (entirely sympathetic) that the President was not entirely omnipotent.
I have been seeing mill workers; and in every mill when possible, the local Union president. There has been widespread discrimination in the south; and many mills haven’t re-opened since the strike. Those open often run on such curtailment that workers are getting from 2 to 3 days work a week. The price of food has risen (especially the kind of food they eat: fat-back bacon, flour, meal, sorghum) as high as 100%. It is getting cold;.
The document discusses the Electoral College system for electing the US President. It explains that the Founding Fathers established the Electoral College as a compromise between direct popular election and election by Congress. Electors cast votes in their state capitals to formally elect the President. While citizens vote for electors pledged to candidates, the electors' votes typically align with the state's popular vote.

Abstract - The Vietnamese government have plan to develop the
wind farms with the expected capacity of 6 GW by 2030. With the
high penetration of wind power into power system, wind power
forecasting is essentially needed for a power generation
balancing in power system operation and electricity market.
However, such a tool is currently not available in Vietnamese
wind farms as well as electricity market. Therefore, a short-term
wind power forecasting tool for 24 hours has been created to fill
in this gap, using artificial neural network technique. The neural
network has been trained with past data recorded from 2015 to
2017 at Tuy Phong wind farm in Binh Thuan province of Viet
Nam. It has been tested for wind power prediction with the input
data from hourly weather forecast for the same wind farm. The
tool can be used for short-term wind power forecasting in
Vietnamese power system in a foreseeable future.
Keywords: power system; wind farm; wind power forecasting;
neural network; electricity market.
I. NECESITY OF WIND POWER FORECASTING
Today, the integration of wind power into the existing
grid is a big issue in power system operation. For the system
operators, power generation curve of wind turbines is a
necessary information in the power sources balancing. From
the dispatchers’ point of view, wind power forecast errors
will impact the system net imbalances when the share of
wind power increases, and more accurate forecasts mean less
regulating capacity will be activated from the real time
electricity market [1]. In the deregulated market, day-ahead
electricity spot prices are also affected by day-ahead wind
power forecasting [2]. Wind power forecasting is also
essential in reducing the power curtailment, supporting the
ancillary service. However, due to uncertainty of wind speed
and weather factors, the wind power is not easy to predict.
In recent years, many wind power forecasting methods
have been proposed. In [3], a review of different approaches
for short-term wind power forecasting has been introduced,
including statistical and physical methods with different
models such as WPMS, WPPT, Prediktor, Zephyr, WPFS,
ANEMOS, ARMINES, Ewind, Sipreolico. In [4], [5], the
methods, models of wind power forecasting and its impact on

Abstract — Personal Data Protection has been among the most
discussed topics lately and a reason for great concern among
organizations. The EU General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation
in 20 years. The regulation will fundamentally reshape the way in
which data is handled across every sector. The organizations had
two years to implement it. As referred by many authors, the
implementation of the regulation has not been an easy task for
companies. The question we aim to answer in this study is how far
the implementation of ISO 27001 standards might represent a
facilitating factor to organizations for an easier compliance with
the regulation. In order to answer this question, several websites
(mostly of consulting companies) were analyzed, and the aspects
considered as facilitating are listed in this paper.
Keywords - regulation (EU) 2016/679; general data protection
regulation; ISO/IEC 27001.
I. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, data protection has become a forefront issue
in cyber security. The issues introduced by recurring
organizational data breaches, social media and the Internet of
Things (IoT) have raised the stakes even further [1, 2]. The EU
GDPR, enforced from May 25 2018, is an attempt to address
such data protection. The GDPR makes for stronger, unified data
protection throughout the EU.
The EU GDPR states that organizations must adopt
appropriate policies, procedures and processes to protect the
personal data they hold.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27000 series
is a set of information security standards that provide best-
practice recommendations for information security management
[3].
This international standard for information security, ISO
27001, provides an excellent starting point for achieving the
technical and operational requirements necessary to reduce the
risk of a breach.
Not all data is protected by the GDPR, since it is only
applicable to personal data. This is defined in Article 4 as
follows [4]:
“personal data” means any information relating to an
identified or identifiable natural person (’data subject’); an
identifiable.

Trouble at 3Forks
Introduction: The foreclosure process can differ for deeds
versus mortgages. You will conduct research to determine
these differences since it is not only covered in the real estate
exam, but it is important to know this process in professional
practice.
Scenario: Henri and Lila own a restaurant which the
government has caused to close due to widening the road in
front of their establishment. Since this is the main source of
their income, and has caused Lila and Henri to stop payments
on their mortgage, address the following questions.
Checklist:
Explain the action that Henri and Lila should expect from the
bank regarding their property.
Describe how the banks actions would differ if it was a deed of
trust rather than a mortgage.
Respond in a minimum of 600–850-word essay with additional

Week 2 Discussion: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Depression or Major Depressive Disorder is considered as a mental health disorder that negatively impacts how an individual feel, think and behave. Individuals who suffer from depression exhibit feelings of sadness and loss in interest in once enjoyed activities (Parekh. 2017). It can cause different kinds of emotional and physical problems and can minimize an individual’s ability to be functional in their daily routines. Annually, approximately 6.7% of adults are impacted by depression. It is estimated that 16.6% of individuals will experience depression at some time in their life (Parekh. 2017). Depression is said to manifest at any time, but on average, the first manifestation occurs during the late teens to mid-20s. The female population is susceptible to experience depression than the male population. Some research indicated that one-third of the female population would experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime (Parekh. 2017).
Among all the mental disorders, depression is one of the most treatable. It is estimated that between 80-90 % of individuals suffering from depression respond well to treatment and experienced remission of their symptoms (Parekh. 2017). As a mental health professional, prior to deciphering diagnosis and initiating diagnosis, it is paramount to conduct a complete diagnostic evaluation, which includes an interview and, if necessary, a physical examination (Parekh. 2017). Blood tests can be conducted to ascertain that depression is not precipitated by a medical condition like thyroid dysfunction. The evaluation is to identify specific symptoms, medical and family history, cultural factors, and environmental factors to derive a diagnosis and establish a treatment plan (Parekh. 2017). One of the assessment tools for depression is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. In this discussion, I will be discussing the psychometric properties of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and elaborate on when it is appropriate to utilize this assessment tool with clients, including whether the tool can be utilized to evaluate the efficacy of psychopharmacologic medications.
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) was introduced in early 1960. It has been considered as a gold standard in depression studies and a preferred scale in the evaluation of depression treatment. It is the most vastly utilized observer-rated depression scale worldwide (Vindbjerg.et.al., 2019). The HDRS was initially created to measure symptoms severity in depressed inpatient; however, the 17-item HAM-D has advanced in over five decades into 11 modified versions that have been administered to various patient populations in an array of psychiatric, medical, and other research settings (Rohan.et.al., 2016). There are two most common versions with either 17 or 21 items and is scored between 0-4 points. Each item assists mental health professionals or c.

Technet Case Study for Virtualization
Technet is a hypothetical business in the storage manufacturing industry. This paper intend to elaborate the server virtualization concept using Microsoft
virtualization software from Windows server 2012R2. Organization’s Preparedness for Virtualization. As of now, the IT system design is a mishmash of old
frameworks that were obtained through various acquisitions of different providers in the storage industry. In any case, these old frameworks are aging and will soon
need to be upgraded. Generally, these old frameworks support applications that have been in service for about 10 years. The IT system situated in one of Technet
branch in Asia for instance comprise of old servers that have been in service for the last 5 years. These old servers were launched to support production and
productivity applications. The expense for permit of these old applications are presently being inspected to check whether they can be dropped and the
information moved to current Technet Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications. Consequently, since several IT related components are potential
contender for upgrading, this makes the likelihood of changing over current physical server farms into virtualized computing resources appropriate. Microsoft
Licensing of Virtualized Environments
Datacenter and the Standard edition are the two license version for Windows Server 2012R2 offered by Microsoft. There is likewise a free version called
Hyper-V Server which is an independent system that only contains the Windows hypervisor, a driver model as well as virtualization modules. Every window
version underpins Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's Type-1 hypervisor offering, likewise referred to as a bare-metal installation, and each Hyper-V server is known as a

Sourcing
After 13 years, Kellwood, an American apparel maker, ended its soups!to!nuts IS outsourcing
arrangement with EDS . The primary focus of the original outsourcing contract was to integrate
12 individually acquired units with different systems into one system. Kellwood had been satis-
" ed enough with EDS ’ s performance to renegotiate the contract in 2002 and 2008, even though
at each renegotiation point, Kellwood had considered bringing the IS operations back in house,
or backsourcing. The 2008 contract iteration resulted in a more # exible $105 million contract that
EDS estimated would save Kellwood $2 million in the " rst year and $9 million over the remaining
contract years. But the situation at Kellwood had changed drastically. In 2008, Kellwood had been
purchased by Sun Capital Partners and taken private. The chief operating of" cer (COO), who was
facing a mountain of debt and possibly bankruptcy, wanted to consolidate and bring the operations
back in house to give some order to the current situation and reduce costs. Kellwood was suffering
from a lack of IS standardization as a result of its many acquisitions. The chief information of" cer
(CIO) recognized the importance of IS standardization and costs, but she was concerned that the
transition from outsourcing to insourcing would cause serious disruption to IS service levels and
project deadlines if it went poorly. Kellwood hired a third!party consultant to help it explore the
issues and decided that backsourcing would save money and respond to changes caused by both the
market and internal forces. Kellwood decided to backsource and started the process in late 2009. It
carefully planned for the transition, and the implementation went smoothly. By performing stream-
lined operations in house, it was able to report an impressive $3.6 million savings, or about 17% of
annual IS expenses after the " rst year. 1
The Kellwood case demonstrates a series of decisions made in relation to sourcing. Both the
decision to outsource IS operations and then to bring them back in house were based on a series of
This chapter is organized around decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle. The ! rst question
regarding information systems (IS) in the cycle relates to the decision to make (insource) or
buy (outsource) them. This chapter ’ s focus is on issues related to outsourcing whereas issues
related to insourcing are discussed in other chapters of this book. Discussed are the critical
decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle: how and where (cloud computing, onshoring,
offshoring). When the choice is offshoring, the next decision is where abroad (farshoring,
nearshoring, or captive centers). Explored next in this chapter is the ! nal decision in the
cycle, keep as is or change in which case the current arrangements are assessed and modi-

• Importance of good mastication
The Digestive System
The Digestive System
– Food is swallowed and then moves through the
pharynx and esophagus
– Peristalsis moves food through the digestive

Factors in Weight Maintenance
– Stable weight occurs when calories eaten equal those
expended for body metabolism and physical exercise
[OLD THINKING]
– Complicated interplay of nutrients, hormones, and
inflammation
• Metabolic rates differ from person to person
• Ghrelin, a hormone, stimulates appetite
• Leptin, a protein, signals satiation and fat storage
• Insulin, a hormone produced in pancreas
– unlocks cells for glucose use for energy
– cues hypothalamus for satiation and decreased appetite
Factors in Weight Maintenance
What is obesity?
– Overeating is not the sole cause of obesity
– Various methods to assess body fat
• Skin-fold technique
• Percentage body fat
• Body mass index (BMI)
– Can also be thought of in terms of social and

2020/2/21 Critical Review #2 - WebCOM™ 2.0
https://smc.grtep.com/index.cfm/smcc/page/2criticalreviews 2/10
1. Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed
(perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply
stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence,
the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay. A
THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or
observation. The best possible THESIS will answer some speci�c questions
about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points
to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in
Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:
The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a
self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural
dependency. The characters in this �lm have no real psychological depth, but
are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory.
(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or
against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.)
What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer?
2. Each essay should be organized into �ve (5) paragraphs, each based on one
of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each
paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the
beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to
be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth.

I still remember my reaction when I first heard what happened to Thabo. It was 2015, late
in the season. Thabo and I were teammates on the Hawks, and we’d flown into New York
late after a game in Atlanta. When I woke up the next morning, our team group text was
going nuts. Details were still hazy, but guys were saying, Thabo hurt his leg? During an
arrest? Wait — he spent the night in jail?! Everyone was pretty upset and confused.
Well, almost everyone. My response was….. different. I’m embarrassed to admit it.
Which is why I want to share it today.
Before I tell the rest of this story, let me just say real quick — Thabo wasn’t some random
teammate of mine, or some guy in the league who I knew a little bit. We’d become
legitimate friends that year in our downtime. He was my go-to teammate to talk with about
stuff beyond the basketball world. Politics, religion, culture, you name it — Thabo brought a
perspective that wasn’t typical of an NBA player. And it’s easy to see why: Before we were
teammates in Atlanta, the guy had played professional ball in France, Turkey and Italy. He
spoke three languages! Thabo’s mother was from Switzerland, and his father was from
South Africa. They lived together in South Africa before Thabo was born, then left because
of apartheid.
It didn’t take long for me to figure out that Thabo was one of the most interesting people I’d
ever been around. We respected each other. We were cool, you know? We had each other’s
backs.
Anyway — on the morning I found out that Thabo had been arrested, want to know what
my first thought was? About my friend and teammate? My first thought was: What was
Thabo doing out at a club on a back-to-back??
Yeah. Not, How’s he doing? Not, What happened during the arrest?? Not, Something seems off
with this story. Nothing like that. Before I knew the full story, and before I’d even had the
chance to talk to Thabo….. I sort of blamed Thabo.

I thought, Well, if I’d been in Thabo’s shoes, out at a club late at night, the police wouldn’t have
arrested me. Not unless I was doing something wrong.

200 words
Much of the focus this semester has been on professional ethics in organizations, though it has been acknowledged that your own personal ethical paradigm strongly influences your workplace choices. At the periphery, the social responsibility aspect of ethics has been hinted at; that is, to what degree are you obligated to others (regardless of who they are or where they live) to act in an ethical manner? Paying taxes, voting, obeying stop signs, pulling your cars to the side of the road when an emergency vehicle passes—these are all demonstrations of a personal commitment to social responsibility and ethical behavior.
Focus your discussion on the following:
To what degree should organizations (non-profit and for-profit) bear social responsibility? They provide jobs, pay taxes, provide services and goods—but how much profit is enough? At what point should they be societally obligated to give back, or to give back more than they currently do? At what point should they stop producing products that contribute little to society’s welfare, even if it means fewer profits? If organizations are people, too (as stated by Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election [Huffington Post, 2011]), can they be trusted to do the right thing?

Abstract - The Vietnamese government have plan to develop the
wind farms with the expected capacity of 6 GW by 2030. With the
high penetration of wind power into power system, wind power
forecasting is essentially needed for a power generation
balancing in power system operation and electricity market.
However, such a tool is currently not available in Vietnamese
wind farms as well as electricity market. Therefore, a short-term
wind power forecasting tool for 24 hours has been created to fill
in this gap, using artificial neural network technique. The neural
network has been trained with past data recorded from 2015 to
2017 at Tuy Phong wind farm in Binh Thuan province of Viet
Nam. It has been tested for wind power prediction with the input
data from hourly weather forecast for the same wind farm. The
tool can be used for short-term wind power forecasting in
Vietnamese power system in a foreseeable future.
Keywords: power system; wind farm; wind power forecasting;
neural network; electricity market.
I. NECESITY OF WIND POWER FORECASTING
Today, the integration of wind power into the existing
grid is a big issue in power system operation. For the system
operators, power generation curve of wind turbines is a
necessary information in the power sources balancing. From
the dispatchers’ point of view, wind power forecast errors
will impact the system net imbalances when the share of
wind power increases, and more accurate forecasts mean less
regulating capacity will be activated from the real time
electricity market [1]. In the deregulated market, day-ahead
electricity spot prices are also affected by day-ahead wind
power forecasting [2]. Wind power forecasting is also
essential in reducing the power curtailment, supporting the
ancillary service. However, due to uncertainty of wind speed
and weather factors, the wind power is not easy to predict.
In recent years, many wind power forecasting methods
have been proposed. In [3], a review of different approaches
for short-term wind power forecasting has been introduced,
including statistical and physical methods with different
models such as WPMS, WPPT, Prediktor, Zephyr, WPFS,
ANEMOS, ARMINES, Ewind, Sipreolico. In [4], [5], the
methods, models of wind power forecasting and its impact on

Abstract — Personal Data Protection has been among the most
discussed topics lately and a reason for great concern among
organizations. The EU General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation
in 20 years. The regulation will fundamentally reshape the way in
which data is handled across every sector. The organizations had
two years to implement it. As referred by many authors, the
implementation of the regulation has not been an easy task for
companies. The question we aim to answer in this study is how far
the implementation of ISO 27001 standards might represent a
facilitating factor to organizations for an easier compliance with
the regulation. In order to answer this question, several websites
(mostly of consulting companies) were analyzed, and the aspects
considered as facilitating are listed in this paper.
Keywords - regulation (EU) 2016/679; general data protection
regulation; ISO/IEC 27001.
I. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, data protection has become a forefront issue
in cyber security. The issues introduced by recurring
organizational data breaches, social media and the Internet of
Things (IoT) have raised the stakes even further [1, 2]. The EU
GDPR, enforced from May 25 2018, is an attempt to address
such data protection. The GDPR makes for stronger, unified data
protection throughout the EU.
The EU GDPR states that organizations must adopt
appropriate policies, procedures and processes to protect the
personal data they hold.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27000 series
is a set of information security standards that provide best-
practice recommendations for information security management
[3].
This international standard for information security, ISO
27001, provides an excellent starting point for achieving the
technical and operational requirements necessary to reduce the
risk of a breach.
Not all data is protected by the GDPR, since it is only
applicable to personal data. This is defined in Article 4 as
follows [4]:
“personal data” means any information relating to an
identified or identifiable natural person (’data subject’); an
identifiable.

Introduction: The foreclosure process can differ for deeds
versus mortgages. You will conduct research to determine
these differences since it is not only covered in the real estate
exam, but it is important to know this process in professional
practice.
Scenario: Henri and Lila own a restaurant which the
government has caused to close due to widening the road in
front of their establishment. Since this is the main source of
their income, and has caused Lila and Henri to stop payments
on their mortgage, address the following questions.
Checklist:
Explain the action that Henri and Lila should expect from the
bank regarding their property.
Describe how the banks actions would differ if it was a deed of
trust rather than a mortgage.

Week 2 Discussion: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Depression or Major Depressive Disorder is considered as a mental health disorder that negatively impacts how an individual feel, think and behave. Individuals who suffer from depression exhibit feelings of sadness and loss in interest in once enjoyed activities (Parekh. 2017). It can cause different kinds of emotional and physical problems and can minimize an individual’s ability to be functional in their daily routines. Annually, approximately 6.7% of adults are impacted by depression. It is estimated that 16.6% of individuals will experience depression at some time in their life (Parekh. 2017). Depression is said to manifest at any time, but on average, the first manifestation occurs during the late teens to mid-20s. The female population is susceptible to experience depression than the male population. Some research indicated that one-third of the female population would experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime (Parekh. 2017).
Among all the mental disorders, depression is one of the most treatable. It is estimated that between 80-90 % of individuals suffering from depression respond well to treatment and experienced remission of their symptoms (Parekh. 2017). As a mental health professional, prior to deciphering diagnosis and initiating diagnosis, it is paramount to conduct a complete diagnostic evaluation, which includes an interview and, if necessary, a physical examination (Parekh. 2017). Blood tests can be conducted to ascertain that depression is not precipitated by a medical condition like thyroid dysfunction. The evaluation is to identify specific symptoms, medical and family history, cultural factors, and environmental factors to derive a diagnosis and establish a treatment plan (Parekh. 2017). One of the assessment tools for depression is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. In this discussion, I will be discussing the psychometric properties of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and elaborate on when it is appropriate to utilize this assessment tool with clients, including whether the tool can be utilized to evaluate the efficacy of psychopharmacologic medications.
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) was introduced in early 1960. It has been considered as a gold standard in depression studies and a preferred scale in the evaluation of depression treatment. It is the most vastly utilized observer-rated depression scale worldwide (Vindbjerg.et.al., 2019). The HDRS was initially created to measure symptoms severity in depressed inpatient; however, the 17-item HAM-D has advanced in over five decades into 11 modified versions that have been administered to various patient populations in an array of psychiatric, medical, and other research settings (Rohan.et.al., 2016). There are two most common versions with either 17 or 21 items and is scored between 0-4 points. Each item assists mental health professionals or c.

Technet Case Study for Virtualization
Technet is a hypothetical business in the storage manufacturing industry. This paper intend to elaborate the server virtualization concept using Microsoft
virtualization software from Windows server 2012R2. Organization’s Preparedness for Virtualization. As of now, the IT system design is a mishmash of old
frameworks that were obtained through various acquisitions of different providers in the storage industry. In any case, these old frameworks are aging and will soon
need to be upgraded. Generally, these old frameworks support applications that have been in service for about 10 years. The IT system situated in one of Technet
branch in Asia for instance comprise of old servers that have been in service for the last 5 years. These old servers were launched to support production and
productivity applications. The expense for permit of these old applications are presently being inspected to check whether they can be dropped and the
information moved to current Technet Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications. Consequently, since several IT related components are potential

Sourcing
After 13 years, Kellwood, an American apparel maker, ended its soups!to!nuts IS outsourcing
arrangement with EDS . The primary focus of the original outsourcing contract was to integrate
12 individually acquired units with different systems into one system. Kellwood had been satis-
" ed enough with EDS ’ s performance to renegotiate the contract in 2002 and 2008, even though
at each renegotiation point, Kellwood had considered bringing the IS operations back in house,
or backsourcing. The 2008 contract iteration resulted in a more # exible $105 million contract that
EDS estimated would save Kellwood $2 million in the " rst year and $9 million over the remaining
contract years. But the situation at Kellwood had changed drastically. In 2008, Kellwood had been
purchased by Sun Capital Partners and taken private. The chief operating of" cer (COO), who was
facing a mountain of debt and possibly bankruptcy, wanted to consolidate and bring the operations
back in house to give some order to the current situation and reduce costs. Kellwood was suffering
from a lack of IS standardization as a result of its many acquisitions. The chief information of" cer
(CIO) recognized the importance of IS standardization and costs, but she was concerned that the
transition from outsourcing to insourcing would cause serious disruption to IS service levels and
project deadlines if it went poorly. Kellwood hired a third!party consultant to help it explore the
issues and decided that backsourcing would save money and respond to changes caused by both the
market and internal forces. Kellwood decided to backsource and started the process in late 2009. It
carefully planned for the transition, and the implementation went smoothly. By performing stream-
lined operations in house, it was able to report an impressive $3.6 million savings, or about 17% of
annual IS expenses after the " rst year. 1
The Kellwood case demonstrates a series of decisions made in relation to sourcing. Both the
decision to outsource IS operations and then to bring them back in house were based on a series of
This chapter is organized around decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle. The ! rst question
regarding information systems (IS) in the cycle relates to the decision to make (insource) or
buy (outsource) them. This chapter ’ s focus is on issues related to outsourcing whereas issues
related to insourcing are discussed in other chapters of this book. Discussed are the critical
decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle: how and where (cloud computing, onshoring,
offshoring). When the choice is offshoring, the next decision is where abroad (farshoring,
nearshoring, or captive centers). Explored next in this chapter is the ! nal decision in the
cycle, keep as is or change in which case the current arrangements are assessed and modi-

The Digestive System
– Food nourishes the body by providing energy for
activity
– Digestion begins in the mouth
• Salivary glands provide moisture that allows food to
have taste
• Importance of good mastication
The Digestive System
The Digestive System
– Food is swallowed and then moves through the
pharynx and esophagus
– Peristalsis moves food through the digestive
system
– In the stomach, food is mixed with gastric juices
so it can be absorbed by the small intestine
– Most nutrients are digested in the small intestine
– Digestion process is complete when waste is
eliminated

Supporting the Gut Microbiome
Dysbiosis = unbalanced gut microbiome
• associated with weight gain, insulin resistance,
inflammation
Probiotics
• contain live microorganisms
• maintain or improve the "good" bacteria (normal microflora)
in the body
• e.g., fermented foods, yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi
Prebiotics
• act as food for human microflora
• helps improve microflora balance
• e.g., whole grains, bananas, greens, onions, garlic

Supporting the Gut Microbiome
Medication overuse
• anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, acid blocking drugs, and
steroids damage gut or block normal digestive function
Stress
• chronic stress alters the normal bacteria in the gut
Lifestyle
• plenty of fiber, water, exercise and rest
Healthy Defecation
• three bowel movements a day to three each week
• no intestinal pain or bloating
• no straining

Factors in Weight Maintenance
– Stable weight occurs when calories eaten equal those
expended for body metabolism and physical exercise
[OLD THINKING]
– Complicated interplay of nutrients, hormones, and
inflammation
• Metabolic rates differ from person to person
• Ghrelin, a hormone, stimulates appetite
• Leptin, a protein, signals satiation and fat storage
• Insulin, a hormone produced in pancreas
– unlocks cells for glucose use for energy
– cues hypothalamus for satiation and decreased appetite
Factors in Weight Maintenance
What is obesity?
– Overeating is not the sole cause of obesity
– Various methods to assess body fat
• Skin-fold technique
• Percentage body fat
• Body mass index (BMI)
– Can also be thought of in terms of social and
cultural standards
– ideal body = thinner in past 50 years

Writing a Critical Review (analytical) Essay
2020/2/21 Critical Review #2 - WebCOM™ 2.0
https://smc.grtep.com/index.cfm/smcc/page/2criticalreviews 2/10
1. Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed
(perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply
stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence,
the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay. A
THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or
observation. The best possible THESIS will answer some speci�c questions
about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points
to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in
Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:
The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a
self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural
dependency. The characters in this �lm have no real psychological depth, but
are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory.
(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or
against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.)
What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer?
2. Each essay should be organized into �ve (5) paragraphs, each based on one
of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each
paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the
beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to
be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth.

When they arrest him on a New York street, throw him in jail for the night, and leave him
with a season-ending injury, you’d think it would sink in. You’d think you’d know there was
more to the story.

I still remember my reaction when I first heard what happened to Thabo. It was 2015, late
in the season. Thabo and I were teammates on the Hawks, and we’d flown into New York
late after a game in Atlanta. When I woke up the next morning, our team group text was
going nuts. Details were still hazy, but guys were saying, Thabo hurt his leg? During an
arrest? Wait — he spent the night in jail?! Everyone was pretty upset and confused.
Well, almost everyone. My response was….. different. I’m embarrassed to admit it.
Which is why I want to share it today.
Before I tell the rest of this story, let me just say real quick — Thabo wasn’t some random
teammate of mine, or some guy in the league who I knew a little bit. We’d become
legitimate friends that year in our downtime. He was my go-to teammate to talk with about
stuff beyond the basketball world. Politics, religion, culture, you name it — Thabo brought a
perspective that wasn’t typical of an NBA player. And it’s easy to see why: Before we were
teammates in Atlanta, the guy had played professional ball in France, Turkey and Italy. He
spoke three languages! Thabo’s mother was from Switzerland, and his father was from
South Africa. They lived together in South Africa before Thabo was born, then left because
of apartheid.
It didn’t take long for me to figure out that Thabo was one of the most interesting people I’d
ever been around. We respected each other. We were cool, you know? We had each other’s
backs.
Anyway — on the morning I found out that Thabo had been arrested, want to know what
my first thought was? About my friend and teammate? My first thought was: What was
Thabo doing out at a club on a back-to-back??
Yeah. Not, How’s he doing? Not, What happened during the arrest?? Not, Something seems off
with this story. Nothing like that. Before I knew the full story, and before I’d even had the
chance to talk to Thabo….. I sort of blamed Thabo.

Much of the focus this semester has been on professional ethics in organizations, though it has been acknowledged that your own personal ethical paradigm strongly influences your workplace choices. At the periphery, the social responsibility aspect of ethics has been hinted at; that is, to what degree are you obligated to others (regardless of who they are or where they live) to act in an ethical manner? Paying taxes, voting, obeying stop signs, pulling your cars to the side of the road when an emergency vehicle passes—these are all demonstrations of a personal commitment to social responsibility and ethical behavior.
Focus your discussion on the following:
To what degree should organizations (non-profit and for-profit) bear social responsibility? They provide jobs, pay taxes, provide services and goods—but how much profit is enough? At what point should they be societally obligated to give back, or to give back more than they currently do? At what point should they stop producing products that contribute little to society’s welfare, even if it means fewer profits? If organizations are people, too (as stated by Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election [Huffington Post, 2011]), can they be trusted to do the right thing?

Using the unit readings and other library resources, consider what is needed to ensure rigor and trustworthiness of qualitative research. Be sure to support your claims with the appropriate scholarly research guides specific to qualitative inquiry.
Offer your reflections on the following questions:How does the researcher ensure the research approach is systematic? How does the researcher ensure the study design is rigorous? How does the researcher ensure reduction of bias? What other factors are essential for a qualitative researcher to ensure rigorous qualitative research is conducted?

The Pros and
the Electoral
Should the United States change the way it elects presidents?
Honorable Steve Cohen
United States Representative, Tennessee, Democrat
Rep. Cohen, of Tennessee’s Ninth Congressional District, was
elected to the U.S. House
of Representatives in 2006. Prior to his election to Congress, he
served in the Tennessee
State Senate for 24 years. He has been a leader on numerous
legislative issues including
civil rights, universal health care, transportation and education.
Currently he is a mem-
ber of the following House committees: Judiciary;
Transportation and Infrastructure;
and Science, Space and Technology. The following is from his
2. Jan. 3, 2019, statement
introducing a constitutional amendment to eliminate the
Electoral College.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of a constitutional
amendment I introduced
today to eliminate the electoral college and provide for the
direct election of our
nation’s President and Vice President.
As Founding Father Thomas Jefferson said, “I am not an
advocate for frequent
changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions
must go hand in hand with
the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more
developed, more enlightened,
as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and
manners and opinions change,
with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance
also to keep pace with
the times. We might well as require a man to wear still the coat
which fitted him
when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the
regimen of their barbarous
ancestors.’’
In 2016, for the second time in recent memory, and for the fifth
time in our history,
the national popular vote winner did not become President
because of the Electoral
College. This has happened twice to candidates from Tennessee:
Al Gore and An-
drew Jackson. The reason is because the Electoral College,
established to prevent an
uninformed citizenry from directly electing our nation’s
President, no longer fits our
nation’s needs.
When the Founders established the Electoral College, it was in
3. an era of limited
nationwide communication. The electoral structure was
premised on a theory that
citizens would have a better chance of knowing about electors
from their home states
than about presidential candidates from out-of-state. Electors
were supposed to be
people of good judgment who were trusted with picking a
qualified President and Vice
President on behalf of the people. They held the responsibility
of choosing a President
because it was believed that the general public could not be
properly informed of the
candidates and the values each held.
That notion — that citizens should be prevented from directly
electing the Pres-
ident — is antithetical to our understanding of democracy
today, and our electoral
process has not evolved to match our abilities to communicate,
collect information,
and make informed decisions about candidates. The
development of mass media and
the internet has made information about presidential candidates
easily accessible to

4. Vice President of Legislative Affairs, FreedomWorks
FreedomWorks, founded as Citizens for a Sound Economy in
1984, is an advocacy
organization working to promote free markets, individual
liberty and limited govern-
ment. As vice president of legislative affairs, Jason Pye
conducts policy and legislative
analysis for the organization and covers a variety of policy
issues including civil lib-
erties, immigration and criminal justice reform. The following
is from his March 12,
2019, commentary titled, “Abolishing the Electoral College Is a
Bad Idea,” which was
originally published by FreedomWorks.
Radical changes to federal election law have become cause
célèbre of Democrats.
The House has already passed the For the Politicians Act [sic],
H.R. 1, on party lines.
Although H.R. 1 has no chance of passage in the Senate,
Democrats are discussing
other changes to federal elections, including abolishing the
Electoral College.
During a CNN town hall on Monday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren
(D-Mass.) called for
abolishing the Electoral College. She said that “every vote
matters,” adding that “the
way we can make that happen is that we can have national
voting and that means get
rid of the Electoral College.” Sen. Warren isn’t alone.
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) has introduced a constitutional
amendment that
would make his state virtually irrelevant in presidential
elections. H.J. Res. 7 would
abolish the Electoral College. The winner of a presidential
5. election would, instead,
be determined by the popular vote. The proposed amendment is
not the first of its
kind, but the effort to abolish the Electoral College has picked
up steam over the past
several years.
Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution defines the process for
the election of
the president. Electors are chosen to cast ballots by the
respective political parties in
their state. Alexander Hamilton explained the thinking behind
the Electoral College
in Federalist No. 68. This process may vary by state. Although a
voter is casting a
ballot for president, in reality, he or she is voting on the slate of
electors, who will
cast their ballots in a manner prescribed by state law.
The day on which electors are required to meet and cast their
ballots is in statute,
3 U.S. Code 7, which states: “The electors of President and
Vice President of each
State shall meet and give their votes on the first Monday after
the second Wednes-
day in December next following their appointment at such place
in each State as the
legislature of such State shall direct.” Electors for the 2016
presidential election met
on December 19.
The Electoral College has its quirks, of course. The election of
1800 was thrown
to the House of Representatives. There was a stalemate between
Thomas Jefferson
and Aaron Burr, both Democratic-Republicans who each
received 73 electoral votes.
The House finally selected Thomas Jefferson as president on the
36th ballot after
6. Should the United States change the way it elects presidents?
“Article II, Section 1
of the Constitution
defines the process
for the election of
the president.”

U.S. citizens across the country and around the world. The
people no longer need
the buffer of the electoral college to be knowledgeable about
and decide who will
be president. Today, citizens have a far better chance of
knowing about out-of-state
presidential candidates than knowing about presidential electors
from their home
states. Most people do not even know who their electors are.
While our ability to communicate has evolved so has the
Electoral College, but
7. not in a positive way. Electors are now little more than rubber
stamps who are cho-
sen based on their political parties and who represent the
interests of those political
parties, rather than representing the people.
Most states legally bind their electors to vote for whomever
wins that state’s
popular vote, so electors can no longer exercise individual
judgment when selecting a
candidate. In our country, “We the People,” are supposed to
determine who represents
us in elective office. Yet, we use an anachronistic process for
choosing who will hold
the highest offices in the land.
It is time for us to fix this, and that is why I have introduced
this amendment to-
day. Since our nation first adopted our Constitution, “We the
People,” have amended
it repeatedly to expand the opportunity for citizens to directly
elect our leaders:
• The 15th Amendment guarantees the right of all citizens to
vote, regardless of race.
• The l9th Amendment guarantees the right of all citizens to
vote, regardless of
gender.
• The 26th Amendment guarantees the right of all citizens 18
years of age and
older to vote.
• [T]he 17th Amendment empowers citizens to directly elect
U.S. Senators.
We need to amend our Constitution to empower citizens to
directly elect the President
8. and the Vice President of the United States. Working together, I
know we can make
our Constitution better reflect the “more perfect Union’’ to
which it aspires.

Federalist members from Delaware, Maryland, South Carolina,
and Vermont abstained,
denying Aaron Burr the White House. The Twelfth Amendment
would resolve the
issues that came to light during this election. The amendment,
which was ratified in
1804, required separate votes for president and vice president.
Of course, the Twelfth
Amendment didn’t solve the (non)issue of presidential
candidates who win the popular
vote but lose the Electoral College.
Now, 48 states and the District of Columbia have a winner-
take-all system. The
presidential candidate who wins the most votes in the state wins
the electoral votes.
Only Maine and Nebraska have, to this point, deviated from
this. Both states give
two electoral votes for the winner of the popular vote. However,
they award electoral
votes for the winner of each congressional district. Donald
10. Trump won all three of
Nebraska’s congressional districts, so he took the state’s five
electoral votes. Although
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in Maine, Trump won
Maine’s 2nd Congressional
District, allowing him to pick up an electoral vote in the state.
According to National Popular Vote, as of January 2018, 13
states representing
181 electoral votes have passed legislation to award their
electoral votes to the win-
ner of the popular vote. The legislation in these states will take
effect after states
representing 270 [electoral votes] have passed the National
Popular Vote Interstate
Compact legislation. States that have passed the compact
include California, New
York, and Illinois. Colorado joined the list of compact states [in
March 2019].
Under a popular vote concept, large population centers would
[have] the most
influence over presidential elections in the states. This is
already true under the
Electoral College, but this influence is confined to the state’s
electoral votes. Spreading
that influence out nationally ... would give Democrats a leg up
on presidential elections.
Perpetuating a national popular vote concept as a way to make
sure that “every
vote matters” just doesn’t pass scrutiny. A review [of] the
election data from 2016
reveals that 50.5 percent of the votes that Hillary Clinton
received came from the 100
most populous counties in the United States. (California has 15
of these counties,
Texas has ten, and Florida and New York have nine each.)
Considering that there are 3,007 counties in the United States,
11. this is an eye-pop-
ping statistic. In fact, Clinton won 87 of these counties on her
way to winning a
plurality of the popular vote. Conversely, Donald Trump
received 29.1 percent of his
total votes from these counties, and he won only 13 of them.
Another issue with the National Popular Vote Interstate
Compact is that it’s almost
certainly unconstitutional. Article I, Section 10 of the
Constitution states, “No state
shall, without the consent of Congress...enter into any
agreement or compact with
another state.”
According to the Council on State Governments, more than 200
interstate com-
pacts are currently in effect. “Twenty-two of them are national
in scope, including
several with 35 or more member states and an independent
commission to administer
the agreement,” the group’s fact sheet notes.
A compact for a presidential election would undoubtedly have
significant national
implications and would be far outside the scope of what
Congress has previously
approved. “Although states sometimes did submit their
compacts to Congress for
ratification,” Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation
explained, “there has
been an implied understanding that interstate agreements were
legitimate as long as
they had a limited, specifically local impact and did not affect
national prerogatives.”

Compact is that it’s

victory. The New York Times’ Nate Cohn penned a similar
analysis, estimating that
the president “could win while losing the national vote by as
much as five percentage
points.” No matter the question — be it “Should we reelect the
racist?” or “Is health
care a right or a privilege?” — we can’t receive an answer if the
election is not an
accurate representation of the national will. The likelihood a
president will be elected
with a minority of the popular vote could increase moving
forward, and that would
further undermine the legitimacy of the Oval Office — perhaps
irreparably.
As both Wasserman and Cohn note, demographics are a driving
13. force behind
a potential electoral vote–popular vote split in 2020. But less
reported is the effect
of the war over voting rights. Across the country, states under
Democratic control
are passing pro-voter reforms, such as automatic voter
registration, same-day voter
registration, or preregistration for 16-year-olds. At the same
time, GOP-controlled
states — including some swing states — have passed regressive,
anti-voter legislation.
These measures, such as voter ID laws and burdensome
registration requirements,
when paired with aggressive voter-roll purges, decrease turnout.
This voting-rights divide threatens to become more extreme
with additional de-
mocracy advances in blue states and repression in red states.
When this disparity
encounters the Electoral College, it could translate to
staggeringly unrepresentative
election results. Democrats will continue to expand their
popular vote margin while
the GOP will hold power disproportionate to their dwindling
share of the vote.
Opponents of change argue that the Electoral College was
meant to protect small-
er, rural states from the tyranny of urban population centers, so
there is no cause
for alarm. But, because almost all states award electoral votes
in a winner-take-all
fashion, our presidential elections actually render small and
rural states irrelevant.
Rather, presidential elections are currently decided by swing
states, ones that are less
racially diverse than the country as a whole and, in 2016,
represented only 35 percent
14. of eligible voters. Last presidential election, 95 percent of
candidate appearances and
99 percent of campaign spending went to fourteen states. None
of them are particularly
rural nor, with the exception of New Hampshire, remotely
small.
The swing states, due to their electoral significance, also have
a stranglehold on
national policies. The coal industry, for example, has outsize
influence because of
its prominence in Pennsylvania. So, too, does the ethanol
industry because of Iowa.
Moreover, U.S. tariffs have disproportionately benefited
industries located in swing
states, and the battleground states have historically received
more in federal grants
than the rest of the country. You can’t have a “more perfect
union” if you have an
imperfect election. Republican and Democratic voters should
both be able to agree
that this anti-democratic system — one that promotes minority
rule determined by a
random set of swing states — has no place in the twenty-first
century. No party should
expect to benefit forever from a system that perpetuates
inequality and inaccuracy.
The obvious solution is an amendment to the Constitution to
abolish the Electoral
College. In 1969, there was actually a noteworthy effort to do
exactly this, but, after
success in the House, it failed in the Senate. Apart from another
attempt in 1979, an
amendment has been, and continues to be, a pipe dream.
Fortunately, there are statu-
tory solutions afoot to get closer to a fair count. The National
Popular Vote Interstate
15. Compact, for example, is a coordinated campaign to get states
to pledge their electoral
votes to the winner of the national popular vote. The agreement
would only go into
effect once enough states, comprising a majority of electoral
votes (270), join.
“You can’t have a
‘more perfect union’
if you have an
imperfect election.“

Supporters of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact say
that approval from
Congress isn’t needed, although the group is pushing for
approval. [Von Spakovsky]
explained that the compact would be problematic because it’s
tantamount to an Article V
convention that “deprives non-participating states of their right
... [to] decid[e] whether
the Twelfth Amendment, which governs the Electoral College,
should be changed.”
Many say that the Electoral College is undemocratic and that a
16. popular vote
concept is democratic, which is why states should dump the
former. Undoubtedly,
some who make such statements also believe the Senate is
undemocratic because it
lacks proportional representation. Put simply, the United States
isn’t a democracy;
it’s a constitutional republic.
State legislators should work to defeat National Popular Vote
Interstate Compact
legislation. The Electoral College isn’t perfect, but it has served
the United States
well. Although partisan voters may not always like the outcome
when their candidate
loses a presidential election, the system has served the country
well and will continue
to serve us well as long as we stick to it.

Street, Wallner worked in
the U.S. Senate in various roles, including as legislative
director for Sen. Pat Toomey
(R-Pa.) and former Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.). The following is
from his commentary
titled, “Why the Electoral College Should be Preserved,”
originally published by The
17. Ripon Society in September 2019.
[O]pposition to the Electoral College has become more
pronounced in recent years due
to the controversial outcomes of the 2000 and 2016 elections. In
2000, Al Gore lost to
George W. Bush despite winning approximately half a million
more votes nationwide.
Hillary Clinton similarly lost the 2016 election to Donald
Trump despite having won
almost 3 million more votes nationwide. In both elections, Bush
and Trump became
president because they won more votes in the Electoral College.
Earlier this year, [Sen.] Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., sparked
renewed interest in the
Electoral College when she proposed abolishing the institution
during a presidential
town hall. Many congressional Democrats also oppose the
institution. In the Senate,
Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, introduced a constitutional amendment
recently to abolish
it. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., submitted a similar proposal in the
House. The Democrats’
opposition to the Electoral College appears to be motivated at
least in part by the
fact that it disadvantages them vis-a-vis their Republican
competitors in presidential
elections. Of course, Democrats do not acknowledge that they
base their opposition
on narrow partisan calculations. They contend instead that the
Electoral College is
undemocratic and, consequently, that it undermines the federal
government’s legitima-
“The Electoral
18. College isn’t perfect,
but it has served the
United States well.”

Currently, 15 states and Washington D.C., representing 196
electoral votes, have
entered the compact. Four states — Colorado, Delaware, New
Mexico, and Oregon —
joined [in 2019], a sign of accelerating progress. There is no
pathway for the compact
to go into effect before the 2020 election — but 2024 remains a
possibility.
But each state need not wait for the others to realize concrete
changes in advance
of 2020. All states can better ensure that every vote counts in
presidential elections
by implementing what is known as ranked choice voting. Under
this voting system,
voters are allowed to rank candidates in order of preference. If
no candidate receives
majority support, the last-place vote-getter is eliminated, and
their votes are reallocat-
19. ed according to subsequent preference. This process is repeated
until one candidate
receives at least 50 percent.
In 2018, Maine became the first state to implement ranked
choice voting for
primaries and federal (non-presidential) elections. This year, a
group of Maine leg-
islators, led by State Senate President Troy Jackson, pushed to
expand the program
to include the presidential primary and general election. If
Jackson’s expansion were
to become law, the awarding of Electoral College votes could
no longer be skewed or
disrupted by third-party candidates. While ranked choice voting
would not eliminate
the basic inequalities built into the Electoral College, it would
ensure that, if states
continue to allocate electoral votes via winner-take-all, the
candidate that wins a state
is actually the candidate that has majority support.
To both parties, the words of Thomas Jefferson now serve as a
reminder and a
warning. “Institutions,” he wrote, “must advance also to keep
pace with the times.
We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which
fitted him when a boy as
civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their
barbarous ancestors.”
The Electoral College has been an ill-fitting layer for a long
time. For the sake
of our democracy, it’s time to throw away the coat.

cy. They claim that the institution values voters who live in
rural, sparsely populated
states, more than those who live in populated states such as
California or densely
populated urban areas like Los Angeles.
Opposition to the Electoral College is not universal. Its
proponents, who are
predominantly Republican at present, counter that the
institution, while complicated,
nevertheless incentivizes presidential candidates to assemble
super-majority coali-
tions to win elections. The institution’s proponents contend that
such coalitions are
beneficial because they resemble more closely the country at
large, thereby helping
the successful candidate govern effectively once in office.
Notwithstanding the merits of their various claims, the
Electoral College’s op-
ponents and proponents have more in common than they realize.
That is, they both
ignore the underlying role played by the institution in American
22. politics. The Elec-
toral College, along with the Constitution’s other institutional
arrangements, exists
to safeguard the space where Americans participate in politics
to make collective
decisions based on equality. Abolishing it would jeopardize that
space and, in the
process, exacerbate the federal government’s current
dysfunction.
That both sides in the debate have overlooked this crucial point
suggests that
Americans of all political stripes — Democrat, Republican,
liberal, and conservative
— increasingly think about politics in the same way.
Americans, especially those
active in partisan politics, often do not think about political
institutions in ways that
transcend their immediate partisan interests. They no longer see
politics as an activity
in which they participate. Instead, they see it as a means to an
end. Put differently,
they think about government in terms of progress, not in terms
of specific forms (i.e.,
monarchy, aristocracy, democracy, etc.).
The problem is that thinking about politics as a means to an
end distorts our un-
derstanding of why the Electoral College matters. In contrast,
thinking about politics
as an activity forces us to acknowledge the space where that
activity occurs. In the
process, we gain a deeper appreciation of why the Electoral
College matters.
Take, for example, Warren’s claim that the Electoral College
violates the one
person, one vote standard. While Warren is no doubt sincere in
her belief, she is nev-
23. ertheless predisposed to oppose the institution because she
thinks about it in terms
of progress; as a means to an end. In short, the Electoral
College makes it harder for
her, or any other Democrat, to win a presidential election given
present conditions.
For Warren, abolishing the Electoral College is a means to
achieving her end
precisely because she believes that there are, at present, more
Democratic voters
nationwide than Republican voters. In making her argument,
Warren overlooks the
fact that her proposal, if successful, would change the very
nature of the American
regime. That is, abolishing the Electoral College and replacing
it with a nationwide
popular vote would create, for the first time in the nation’s
history, a single common
electorate.
Admittedly, a national electorate may exist symbolically or
culturally, presidents
may claim nationwide mandates, and elections can be
nationalized. But no government
official is currently elected by citizens casting votes in one
single national electorate.
Likewise, no institution in the federal government represents a
single, nationwide
electorate directly. Many electorates organized by state instead
comprise the Amer-
ican electorate. It is important to note that this is not an
argument for states’ rights.
Instead, it is evident in how John Marshall, the nationalist chief

The Trump Administration’s
Use of Trade Tariffs as
Economic Sanctions
OVERVIEW
The Trump administration’s enthusiasm for eco-
nomic sanctions has been reflected in their equally
passionate embrace of trade tarif fs. Both foreign
policy tools have been used to excess well beyond
the practices of past administrations. Even most
notable is the unprecedented re-purposing of trade
tarif fs as economic sanctions. Rather than using
tarif fs as intended by statute to adjust conditions for
impor ts in response to unfair practices with trade
par tners, the Trump administration has threatened
and imposed tarif fs to pressure countries to change
policies they oppose – the exact rationale behind
the use of economic sanctions. The use of trade tar-
if fs as economic sanctions raises impor tant ques-
tions about the legitimacy and ef fectiveness of such
a practice.
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S AGGRESSIVE USE OF
ECONOMIC SANCTIONS
The Trump administration’s use of economic sanc-
tions is best characterized as aggressive, par ticularly
25. when compared to previous administrations. Eco-
nomic sanctions have become a go-to foreign pol-
icy tool to suppor t its ‘America First’ foreign policy
strateg y. According to the US Treasur y Depar tment
data, in 2017, the United States placed sanctions on
1,500 people, companies, and entities (Harrell 2019).
This is 50 percent more than has ever been added to
John F. Forrer
George Washing ton
Universit y
the US Treasur y’s Specially Designated Nations and
Blocked Persons List (SDN) in any single year, based
on an analysis by the law firm Gibson Dunn (2019).
The majority of these sanctions were related to
nuclear-related sanctions on Iran, enhanced sanc-
tions against Russia, and sanctions on Venezuelan
people and entities (Gibson Dunn 2019).
The analysis shown in Figure 1 provides a
clear visual of the uptick in sanctions during the
Trump administration. In the years 2017 through
2018, there is a dramatic increase in additions to
the Specially Designated Nations and Blocked Per-
son’s list. Compare that sharp sloping increase
from 2017–2018 to the ebb-and-flow rhy thms that
characterized the experience earlier in this centur y
during the Bush administration (2002–2009) and
the Obama administration from 2009 to early 2016.
Neither the Obama nor Bush administrations made
more than 800 additions to the SDN list during their
entire tenure, but the Trump administration quickly
exceeded the 800 actions cap characteristic of pre -
vious administrar tions.
26. Fundamentally, sanctions are a collection of
tools designed to inflict economic losses on coun-
tries, institutions, and/or individuals sufficient to
induce a sought-after change in policy and behav-
ior. The US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
defines sanctions as both broad-based and oriented
geographically, which would include the tariffs
against countries such as Cuba and Iran, while other
forms of sanctions are considered more ‘targeted’.
These targeted sanctions are applied in cases of
counter-terrorism, counter-narcotics and focus on
specific individuals and entities. These programs
may encompass broad prohibitions at the countr y
level as well as sanctions directed at specified tar-
gets (US Depar tment of the Treasur y 2018). Sanc-
tions are one of many government tools available to
fur ther specified national security and foreign policy
goals.
In addition to a dispropor tionate reliance on
economic sanctions as the favored foreign pol-
icy tool, there has been enhanced use of second-
ar y sanctions by the Trump
administration. Secondar y
sanctions are a tool designed
to push foreign countries,
companies, and individuals
into halting business dealings
with countries and entities
on which primar y economic
sanctions have been imposed
(Harrell 2019). This aggressive
push is evident in countries
such as Venezuela, where

29. mar y and secondar y sanctions is a tool to compel
others to adhere to US national security and for-
eign policy goals. The Trump administration’s cor-
responding aggressive use of trade tariffs has lured
what has been a clear distinction between sanctions
as applied through the US Treasur y Depar tment and
tariffs pushed for ward through the United States
Trade Representative (USTR) and the US Depar tment
of Commerce. Employing these two separate for-
eign policy tools as one in the same raises question:
should tariffs and sanctions be used in a similar way
and with similar justifications, and if they are being
used in similar ways, what effect might the dual-use
purpose of these foreign tools have on effectiveness
of US foreign policy?
USE OF SANCTIONS AND TRADE TARIFFS
Similar to its expansive use of economic sanctions,
the Trump administration has also imposed trade
tariffs on allies and adversaries at an alarming rate.
USTR has announced not only more tariffs in terms
of volume of products globally, but the executive
body has also applied tariffs
at a higher percentage level
(Office of the United States
Trade Representative 2019).
A more specific example of
this ramping up of tariffs is
exemplified through the tar-
iffs imposed on China. The
Peterson Institute for Interna-
tional Economics developed
two graphics to showcase the
ramp-up of the China tariffs.
30. Figure 2 highlights the
increased percentage of the
tarif f rate threatened by
the Trump administration
throughout the year. Increasing how much a prod-
uct is taxed is one method of using tarif fs aggres-
sively, and China’s expor ts into the United States
were threatened by increasingly high percentages
of tarif f tax rates. Along a similar vein, Figure 3
highlights the percentage of US impor ts from China
subject to special US trade protection. The United
States has maintained a special protection tarif f
towards China since the 1980’s, but this figure high-
lights how much more expansive this special tarif f
protection has become in the Trump administration
(Bown and Zhang 2019b). In essence, the admin-
istration is threatening to apply the special tarif f
protection on more products being impor ted from
China. Both the percentage rate of the tarif f and the
amount of impor ts af fected by the tarif fs have are
markedly higher, revealing an aggressive use of tar-
if fs. Threatened tarif f rates and volumes are used
by the Trump administration as leverage points to
fur ther an ‘American first’ economic policy, and in
response to China’s unfair trade practices related
to the forced transfer of American technolog y and
intellectual proper t y (Of fice of the United States
Trade Representative 2019).
In their use of tariffs against China and in numer-
ous other instances, the Trump administration

flaunts trade tariffs as a foreign policy tool used for
similar purposes as economic sanction. The use of
tariffs as economic sanctions raises serious ques-
tions about the statutor y authority and indented
goals of this familiar foreign policy tool. Evidence
of the Trump administration’s sanctions-like use of
tariffs is best demonstrated through the tariff taxes
applied on Turkey. The ‘Turkey tariffs’ highlight the
increasingly nebulous and nefarious roles tariffs play
in the administration’s foreign policy. The first of the
tariffs affecting Turkey began on 8 March 2018, when
President Trump issued a Presidential Proclamation
to impose an overall 25-percent ad valorem tax on
steel ar ticles impor ted to the United States from
abroad (The White House 2018a). This was applied
broadly, across a number of countries.
However, a second presidential proclamation
was issued a few months later, on 10 August 2018.
This proclamation set to adjust impor ts of steel into
the US, but this time, the proclamation was target-
ing specific countries. This second proclamation (the
August 10 proclamation) had the stated and legally
authorized goal of increasing domestic capacity uti-
34. lization and ensuring the viability of the domestic
steel industr y (The White House 2018b). The Procla-
mation investigation conducted by the US Depar t-
ment of Commerce recommended that a tariff be
applied on cer tain countries, and Turkey was specif-
ically targeted. Turkey is one of the major expor ters
of steel for domestic use in the United States. Using
executive authority granted through Section 232 of
the Trade Expansion Act of 1962,1 the tariff levels
determined in this August 10 proclamation went into
effect. The United States imposed a 50 -percent ad
valorem tariff rate on steel ar ticles impor ted from
Turkey, a dramatic doubling of the previous 25-per-
cent tariff imposed in March.
The tariffs on Turkey illustrate their creep into
the realm of sanctions. The tariffs have an under-
pinning justification of national security, a terri-
tor y typically reser ved for sanctions. Invoking the
national security clause of the Trade Expansion Act
to justif y sanctions on Turkey is not credible and it
is clear the tariffs were imposed to cause economic
hardship on Turkey. Also, the messaging surround-
ing these tariffs also was more aligned with the fur-
therance of foreign policy goals typically befitting a
sanction. External messaging through social media
outlets such as Twitter explicitly stated that the tar-
iff was punishment on Turkish political actions. An
August 16, 2018 tweet from Donald Trump’s handle
@realDonaldTrump proclaimed the ad valorem tar-
iffs imposed just six days before were a reaction to
Turkey’s detainment of Pastor Andrew Brunson, a
major foreign policy concern happening at the same
time. The tweet states “we will pay nothing for the
release of an innocent man, but we are cutting back

on Turkey!” ‘Cutting back’ signals the effects of the
ad valorem tax: reducing Turkish steel impor ts by the
United States. Such a justification was absent from
the official Presidential Proclamations announcing
the tariffs.
Around this same time, in early August the US
Treasur y Depar tment’s Office of Foreign Assets Con-
trol imposed sanctions targeting two Turkish offi-
cials, Minister of Justice Abdulhamit Gul and Minister
of Interior Suleyman Soylu, for their role in the arrest
and detention of Pastor Brunson. These sanctions
had the explicit goal of forcefully expressing the US’
position that Brunson’s continued prosecution was
wrongful (US Depar tment of the Treasur y 2018). The
tariffs and sanctions imposed upon Turkey had sig-
nificant overlap both in timing and intent, and again,
highlight the heav y use of both policy tools by the
Trump administration, but also the significant cross-
over of the role of tariffs.
TRADE TARIFFS AS ECONOMIC SANCTIONS: A
GOOD OR BAD IDEA?2
The basic justification for economic sanctions is that
economic losses that are sufficiently painful will con-
vince another countr y to change a policy objected to
by the sending countr y. At the same time, countries’
vulnerability to economic sanctions var y widely,
and may have many viable options that help them
evade the actual effects of an economic sanction.
At the hear t of a successful economic sanctions pol-
icy is knowing (i) how much economic suffering is
36. required to compel the target countr y to yield and
make the sought after change in policy; and (ii) an
ability to implement sanctions in such a way that
results in real economic losses commensurate with
the planned level of losses (Forrer 2017).
The determination of the success of economic
sanctions is problematic. Research on economic
sanction episodes throughout histor y have struggled
to make a definitive case on the role played by eco-
nomic sanctions in determining the outcomes of the
events (Hufbauer et al. 2007; Askari et al. 2003). Once
imposed, as long as the offending policy remains
intact, sanctions could be viewed as a failed effor t.
If sanctions are removed before the policy has been
revoked, claims of failure or premature action could
be offered. And if the policy targeted by sanctions is
revoked, sanctions can be highlighted as the reason
for the change, even if other factors caused the pol-
icy change. As in all situations, ‘sanctions don’t work
until they do’.
The cost-effectiveness of economic sanctions
is more easily assessed. Economic sanctions cause
2 The terms trade tariffs and economic sanctions tend to be used
interchangeably as both a tool of foreign policy – a foreign
policy
strategy – and a legal action taken based on an authority granted
to
a government agency. Our discussion on trade tariffs as
economic
sanctions addresses the first sense of the terms largely
unanticipat-
ed by the second sense.

intended and anticipated economic losses to govern-
ment agencies, firms, and individuals in the sending
and target countries. Innocent communities also suf-
fer economic (and personal) losses due to economic
sanctions. Since all these losses can be estimated, an
assessment could be made as to whether the value of
a change in the offending policy is wor th the losses
suffered by all par ties. It also opens up for consid-
eration the question of whether an alternative to
economic sanctions would be more cost-effective in
achieving the foreign policy goal.
In the context of economic sanctions, trade
tariffs might be seen as simply ‘economic sanc-
tions-lite’: rather than banning a specific economic
activity, trade tariffs have the effect of raising prices
on designate products and ser vices, and thereby
discouraging their purchase. But economic sanc-
tions can be designed with great nuance relating
to the level of economic loses and who bears those
loses. In practice, trade tariffs do not enhance the
capacities of a countr y to stylize sanctions to have
the desired effects. In addition, trade tariffs suffer
from the same set of design and enforcement chal-
lenges faced by economic sanctions that limit their
effectiveness:
‒ Limited enforcement capacities
38. ‒ Smuggling
‒ Fraud
‒ Evasion
‒ Re-exporting
Trade tariffs offer no more advantages over eco-
nomic sanctions as the legal instruments used to
inflict economic losses on countries in an effor t to
change their policies. But using trade tariffs as eco-
nomic sanctions does per ver t the established public
policy justification for imposing any trade tariff, and
thereby undermines public accountability of govern-
ment actions taken to pursue foreign policy goals.
Placing a tariff on expor ts from another countr y
raises the price on those goods and ser vices to the
consumers in the countr y imposing the tariffs. The
tariff can be in the form of a fixed fee or percentage of
the cost per item. The resultant price increase gives
an economic advantage to domestic firms compared
to foreign expor ting firms. Such a market inter ven-
tion through the use of trade tariffs that are justified
by ver y specific conditions has specific rationales
behind this approach.
The adoption of a trade tariff against specific
goods and ser vices requires that a finding be con-
ducted that shows evidence of unfair trade practices.
Such a finding not only justifies the adoption from
a public policy perspective, but the analysis of the
trade practices in question provides valuable infor-
mation to determine the form of the remediate trade
tariff. At their core, trade tariffs are justified by cor-
recting an unfair trade relationship between coun-
tries. The scope and scale of the tariff – to accomplish
39. that goal – must be tailored to the specific situation.
Trade tariffs are by design intended to correct – or
at a minimum remediate – trade relationships that
impose an unfair condition on a countr y. Trade tariffs
are justified due to their ability to claim that it is solv-
ing an existing problem and making it ‘right’.
Alternatively, economic sanctions are justified
by the argument that suffering experienced by the
sanctioned countr y is sufficient to persuade it to
alter the offending policy in question. It is recog-
nized that economic pain on innocents will result in
both the sanctioning and target countries, but the
impor tance of achieving the foreign policy in ques-
tion should account for this unavoidable collateral as
par t of the price paid when using an economic sanc-
tion. Economic sanctions are justified by pressuring
other countries to adopt desired policies.
But to make matters worse, trade tariffs have
become the easiest ‘path of least resistance’ for the
Trump administration to adopt foreign policies. In
the Trump administration, trade tariffs have become
the ‘poor person’s’ economic sanctions. Relying on
a clause that allows trade tariffs to be invoked at
the discretion of the President, trade tariffs allow a
path of least resistance to placing economic sanc-
tions-like activity on countries in dispute with the
US, but not necessarily involving trade issues.
CONCLUSION
The use of trade tariffs to impose economic sanc-
tions on other countries may be consistent with the
Trump administration campaign of assailing US trade
agreements as unfair, and providing a political jus-
40. tification for using trade tariffs as the best remedy,
and impinging on the territor y of economic sanc-
tions. But the conventional policy justification for
using trade tariffs as economic sanctions has been
circumvented, undermining public accountability
for the actions taken by the government and their
effectiveness. Any administration that intends to
continue using tariffs as a ‘sanction-lite’ tool should
have their use clarified and codified in a revision of
existing legislative authority. A legislation change
would ideally bring more statutor y clarity defining
the two economic tools (sanctions and tariffs) and
could set a foundation for a more accountable for-
eign policy approach by and across government
agencies. Greater clarity on the boundaries of trade
tariffs to advance purposeful US foreign policy would
be an available step in that direction.
