Naming, walking and magic
By Carlos Gonzalez
The words you speak become the house you live in.—Hafiz (Ladinsky, 1999, p. 281)
Brazilian lyricist and novelist, Paulo Coelho, says that magic is a kind of bridge between the visible and invisible (2014). My work as a teacher and my students’ experiences in the learning spaces I help create sometimes reflect Coelho’s definition. In class, I often make the argument that language is the ultimate form of magic. Without it we don't really understand the world about us. It is that bridge between what is known and what wants to be known or is currently invisible.
In our sessions, because most of my students are familiar with and culturally rooted in the Bible, I mention a passage where God tells Adam to name the animals in the Garden of Eden. For me, this story works as a powerful reminder that the impulse to name is an integral part of what it means to be human. The naming of the animals implies that the way we relate to the world has something to do wi.

Critical Reflective Analysis
In developing your genogram and learning plan you were required to collect significant personal data that has influenced your lifestyle and consequently your personal health and wellness. Looking at this information and your personal learning plan a meaningful event must have come to mind. This event would have been an incident that probably impacted your lifestyle in a negative fashion; as an example a divorce, an accident or a sudden death of a family member from familial links. How did this affect your overall health using the six dimensions of wellness? How does the research support the findings? What does this mean for you? With the knowledge you have gained how has this changed your perspective? Why? What changes will you make?Using the LEARN

Introduction (Example)
I am a White privileged, American, who is loved, and who is attending the college of her dreams. I live with three younger siblings who do not fit that description. We live in the same house; they are American, loved, attending an amazing high school, privileged, but what is missing? The answer is the color of their skin; I am White and they are Black. My three youngest siblings are adopted from various parts of the United States as well as Africa, and their lives are worlds apart from mine; yet, we live feet apart. I am never afraid to walk home from school or get arrested by the cops, and yet I will be walking home with my 6’0, line man sized, African American little brother and people will cross to the other side of the street. Whole families have crossed in the middle of the road to avoid passing next to us. I know for a fact most of my friends do not worry about their little brother coming home safe because he has the build of the boys you hear about on television being beaten to death—because he has the skin color of the boys on television.
The New York Times best seller, “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness” by Michelle Alexander works to give an explanation for the phenomenon that has been splashed across the news left and right. This movement is known as the “Black Lives Matter” movement that has the purpose of fighting back against the racism in our society: the human rights and dignity many people of color feel they are denied. There is a problem in our society that needs to be addressed because lives are on the line; and, I feel that the Black Lives Matter movement is not effectively or gracefully working to solve this problem as God intended. My purpose for this paper is to argue that our society is not seeing the new racism that is running rampant; that God did not intend for any sort of racism; and, finally conclude with our society should be called into action, especially the believers. For this paper, it will be broken up into three different sections: Michelle Alexander’s book, the corresponding Bible passages, and concluded with the application section.

Critical Reading Strategies
The University of Minnesota published a guideline on critical reading, called Critical Reading Strategies.
Click here (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for the document.
These guidelines suggest reading in an active and engaged way in order to analyze, evaluate, and understand texts. They recommend:
1. Identifying what you're reading for. Answer the following questions:
1. Why am I reading this text? Is it for general content? To complete a written assignment? To research information?
2. Allowing yourself enough time to read. I recommend giving yourself about one hour for every 25 pages of reading.
1. Note: Get comfortable with the feeling of struggling to read. Many of the texts we encounter this semester are very old. These readings may be obscure, difficult to understand, while reflecting cultural values that may be alien to you. I recommend paying attention to these feelings of discomfort as you read, and then using them to investigate the text further.
1. Example: You notice there is a lot of repetition in the Epic of Gilgamesh so you decide to look into it. You find out that the translation history of Epic of Gilgamesh involves a great deal of transcription from fragmented cuneiform tablets into our written text system.
3. Previewing the text. Does the text have any headings or sub-headings? If so, what are they? Does it include an introduction? If so, what does the introduction have to say? What does the text look like on the page? Literally--does it take up a lot of space? Bigger/smaller margins? Use block writing or stanzas?
4. Engaging. I cannot stress it enough: get in the habit of reading with a pen or pencil in hand. Write in the margins. Circle things you find important. Develop a notation system that reflects your thoughts or feelings as you read.
1. You may draw an angry face next to the section where Gilgamesh insults the goddess Ishtar. You might underline the stanza in which Gilgamesh and Enkidu confront the monster, Humbaba.
2. What the texts says vs what it does. Take time to summarize the text says. What is the main idea? How is the main idea supported? Now ask yourself: how does it do that? Does it use imagery? Metaphor? Repetition? Simple or complicated language?

Critical Qualitative Research Design
pages 70–76
Related to understanding your goals as a researcher is the development of the rationale of the study. A rationale is the reason or argument for why a study matters and why the approach is appropriate to the study. Rationales can range from improving your practice and the practice of colleagues (as in practitioner research), contributing to formal theory (e.g., where there may be a gap in or lack of research in an area), understanding existing research in a new context or with a new population, and/or contributing to the methodological literature and approach to an existing corpus of research in a specific area or field. Thinking about and answering the questions in Table 3.1 can aid in this process. Considering these kinds of questions is central to developing empirical studies, and it is important to understand that these rationales and goals will also lead you to conduct different types of research, guiding your many choices—from the theories used to frame the study to the selection of various methods to the actual research questions as well as designs chosen and implemented.
There are many strategies for engaging in a structured inquiry process and through it an exploration of research goals and the overall rationale of a study. These strategies can include the writing of various kinds of memos, structured dialogic engagement processes, and reflective journaling. Across these strategies, creating the conditions and structures for regular dialogic engagement with a range of interlocutors is an absolutely vital and necessary part of refining your understanding of the goals and rationales for the research. We describe each of these strategies in the subsequent sections.
Memos on Study Goals and Rationale
Memos are important tools in qualitative research and tend to be written about a variety of different topics throughout the phases of a qualitative study. Memos are a way to capture and process, over time, your ongoing ideas and discoveries, challenges associated with fieldwork and design, and analytic sense-making. Depending on your research questions, memos can also become data sources for a study. There is no “wrong” way of writing memos, as their goal is to foster meaning making and serve as a chronicle of emerging learning and thinking. Memos tend to be informal and can be written in a variety of styles, including prose, bullet points, and/or outline form; they can include poetry, drawings, or other supporting imagery. The goals of memos are to help generate and clarify your thinking as well as to capture the development of your thinking, as a kind of phenomenological note taking that captures the meaning making of the researcher in real time and then provides data to refer back and consider the refinement of your thinking over time (Maxwell, 2013; Nakkula & Ravitch, 1998). While we find writing memos to be a useful and generative exercise, both when we write and share them in our indep.

The goals of memos are to help generate and clarify your thinking as well as to capture the development of your thinking, as a kind of phenomenological note taking that captures the meaning making of the researcher in real time and then provides data to refer back and consider the refinement of your thinking over time (Maxwell, 2013; Nakkula & Ravitch, 1998). While we find writing memos to be a useful and generative exercise, both when we write and share them in our indep.

Critical Infrastructures
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has identified what is determined to be critical infrastructure assets that are designated as potentially being of terrorist interest. Although the final responsibility and mission for protecting those assets and sectors of each remains with the DHS, the initial accountability rests with local ownership and authorities.
The DHS has formulated a National Infrastructure Protection Plan to explain and describe the national responsibility. A very significant majority of the infrastructure elements are under private or corporate ownership and maintenance and must share the bulk of responsibility for protection and security under their own mission plans for security.

Critical InfrastructuresIn terms of critical infrastructure and ke.docx
Critical Infrastructures
In terms of critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR), an
asset
is a person, structure, facility, information, material, or a process that has value. For example, in the transportation sector, a bridge would be an asset.
A
network
is a group of related components that interact with each other or share information to perform a function. For example, a light rail system that crosses multiple jurisdictions in a large metropolitan area would be considered a network.
A
system
is any combination of facilities, personnel, equipment, procedures, and communications integrated for a specific purpose. For example, the U.S. interstate highways comprise a system within the transportation sector.
A
sector
consists of a logical collection of interconnected assets, systems, or networks that provide a common function to society, the economy, or the government. For example, the transportation sector consists of vast, open, accessible, interconnected systems, which include the aviation, maritime, pipeline, highway, freight rail, and mass-transit systems.
Address the following in 3–4 pages:
For each of the 18 CIKR sectors, identify 1
–
2 local examples of critical infrastructure.
Briefly describe the examples, and explain how they are operated and utilized.
Provide any information that you feel is unique to each sector.
In your local community, research the infrastructure, and identify one particular element that may be of particular interest to a terrorist or vulnerable to natural or manmade disaster.
Are there any protective measures in place to ensure its safety?

Critical Infrastructure Case StudyPower plants are an important .docx
Critical Infrastructure Case Study
Power plants are an important part of critical infrastructures and local, state, and national economies. Therefore, power plants need deep and multilayered access controls due to concerns over physical security. There are a number of sensitive areas that must be secured, and various employees need different levels of access to these locations. At a plant in the upper Midwest, this access is handled with identity badges that include images of the user and an RFID with their access rights. The RFID handles access through multiple levels. There is a security checkpoint at the entrance to the parking lot, and at the entrance. Both points require a badge to enter. From there the badge allows personnel to enter the facilities they are authorized to enter. It also acts as "something you have" for multipoint authentication onto secure systems. These are all standard functions for an RFID badge system. The badges also have an automatic deactivation feature, which is useful for certain personnel. Maintenance personnel, for example, do not have enhanced access and do not require access to secured areas of the site. However, the maintenance team may need access to any area of the facility regardless of its sensitivity, in the case of a breakdown or special project. To allow for this, the badges can be granted access rights that decay over time. This allows for temporary access to secure areas that is then automatically revoked over a number of hours or days. This lowers administrative time, and reduces the risk of human error in rights assignment.

Critical Infrastructure and a CyberattackPresidential Decisi.docx
Critical Infrastructure and a Cyberattack
Presidential Decision Directive 21 (PDD-21) identifies 16 critical infrastructures. PDD-21 lays out the national policy to maintain secure, functioning and resilient critical infrastructure. Select a critical infrastructure sector from the list below and discuss the impact that a cyberattack could have on that system or service:
Communication Sector (voice communications, digital communications, or navigation)
Energy Sector (electric power grid)
Water and Wastewater Systems Sector (water supply or sewage)
Healthcare and Public Health Sector (hospitals)
Transportation Systems Sector (rail or air)
Financial Services Sector (banking )
It is the third and fourth order effects from the cyberattack on the chosen critical infrastructure that shows the far reaching and devastating effect of a cyberattack. To demonstrate the interconnectedness of critical infrastructure, explain the cascading effects on other critical infrastructure. Then, discuss the measures DHS has taken to ensure resiliency of the selected infrastructure and the measures that need to be implemented in the future.

Critical Appraisal Process for Quantitative ResearchAs you cri.docx
Critical Appraisal Process for Quantitative Research
As you critically appraise studies, follow the steps of the critical appraisal process presented in Box 18-1. These steps occur in sequence, vary in depth, and presume accomplishment of the preceding steps. However, an individual with critical appraisal experience frequently performs multiple steps of this process simultaneously. This section includes the three steps of the research critical appraisal process applied to quantitative studies and provides relevant questions for each step. These questions are not comprehensive but have been selected as a means for stimulating the logical reasoning and analysis necessary for conducting a study review. Persons experienced in the critical appraisal process formulate additional questions as part of their reasoning processes. We cover the identification of the steps or elements of the research process separately because persons who are new to critical appraisal often only conduct this step. The questions for determining the study strengths and weaknesses are covered together because this process occurs simultaneously in the mind of the person conducting the critical appraisal. Evaluation is covered separately because of the increased expertise needed to perform this final step.
Step I: Identifying the Steps of the Quantitative Research Process in Studies
Initial attempts to comprehend research articles are often frustrating because the terminology and stylized manner of the report are unfamiliar. Identification of the steps of the research process in a quantitative study is the first step in critical appraisal. It involves understanding the terms and concepts in the report; identifying study elements; and grasping the nature, significance, and meaning of the study elements. The following guidelines are presented to direct
you in the initial critical appraisal of a quantitative study.
Guidelines for Identifying the Steps of the Quantitative Research Process
The first step involves reviewing the study title and abstract and reading the study from beginning to end (review the key principles in Box 18-2). As you read, address the following questions about the research report: Was the writing style of the report clear and concise? Were the different parts of the research report plainly identified (APA, 2010)? Were relevant terms defined?
You might underline the terms you do not understand and determine their meaning from the glossary at the end of this textbook. Read the article a second time and highlight or underline each step of the quantitative research process. An overview of these steps is presented in Chapter 3. To write a critical appraisal identifying the study steps, you need to identify each step concisely and respond briefly to the following guidelines and questions:

The Right Way with Employees?
As a senior manager for a global player in automobile production and sales, Jane Ellis had joined thousands of fellow employees in the excitement surrounding production of the company’s new hybrid vehicles.
But barely two years into production, embarrassing component shortages, delivery delays, and a recall of the first models had a ripple effect, presenting the company with mounting concerns. In the confusion, many customers canceled orders and turned to competitors for purchase of the eco-friendly vehicles. Ellis’s company was facing a financial downturn.
With three decades of service to the company, Jane led a contingent of managers intent upon keeping together as much of the company and as many employees as possible.
“We know there will be some necessary cuts,” Jane admitted. “But this company has a long history of sticking by its people. Our first priority should be internal streamlining of how we do things and making sure we have the right people on board.”
Many managers liked what they heard from Jane. She was well-respected and had a unequaled reputation for her leadership and collaborative skills and her ability to work with managers, as well as line workers on the factory floors. People marveled at the number of individuals she knew on a personal level throughout the company.
Drew Cunningham influenced a second contingent within the management group. A brash go-getter with a reputation for fixing companies in crisis, he proposed across-the-board cuts in employees in order to implement a solution as quickly as possible. He proposed the immediate creation of a forced ranking system in order to identify and get rid of lower-ranking employees.
Jane raised her hand and rose to her feet in objection. “So we’re going to create a system to
fire
…”
“I didn’t say
fire
…”
“OK,
cut
our own hard-working people? It sounds like some lame government commission,” Jane said. “We’ve got bright people. This thing simply got worse faster than we thought. We can work with the people we have in setting up more efficient workflow, establishing reasonable deadlines to increase output and …”
“Jane, these are not the days of knowing everyone in the plant,” Drew said. “You’re not throwing out your uncle Harry. We’re taking a serious look at what we do, how we do it, and streamlining everything by keeping the right people in the organization and cutting the rest.”

Introduction
World disasters are happening more intensely and frequently, demonstrating a critical need for the enhancement of risk management and response. High-profile disasters are increasing worldwide consciousness to strengthen national and regional capacity to mitigate, respond to and manage these disasters. Developing countries such as in the Caribbean islands, the middle east, and Africa are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters for reasons of lack of infrastructure, resources and exacerbated by geology, tectonic setting, topography and location, poor environmental management practices and land use among other reasons related to the country and respective natural or man-made disasters that frequent it (Veeneema, 2018).
Earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires are some of the most common natural disasters that have even affected developed nations such as the United States crippling small and large communities, killing thousands and destroying any infrastructure around where they occur.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Critical Infrastructures
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has identified what is determined to be critical infrastructure assets that are designated as potentially being of terrorist interest. Although the final responsibility and mission for protecting those assets and sectors of each remains with the DHS, the initial accountability rests with local ownership and authorities.
The DHS has formulated a National Infrastructure Protection Plan to explain and describe the national responsibility. A very significant majority of the infrastructure elements are under private or corporate ownership and maintenance and must share the bulk of responsibility for protection and security under their own mission plans for security.
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in 3–4 pages:
What is the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP)?
When was it created?
Who created it?
Why was it created? Explain.
How important is the private sector with regard to critical infrastructure protection? Why?
What types of strategies can be used for critical infrastructure protection (CIP)?
What strengths currently exist in the United States with regard to CIP? Explain.
What weaknesses still need to be addressed? Why?
How can federal agencies effectively cooperate with private sector organizations? Explain.
What types of information should be disseminated to private sector organizations that are responsible for key assets? Explain.
What types of information, if any, should be withheld from the private sector? Why?

Critical InfrastructuresIn terms of critical infrastructure and ke.docx
Critical Infrastructures
In terms of critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR), an
asset
is a person, structure, facility, information, material, or a process that has value. For example, in the transportation sector, a bridge would be an asset.
A
network
is a group of related components that interact with each other or share information to perform a function. For example, a light rail system that crosses multiple jurisdictions in a large metropolitan area would be considered a network.
A
system
is any combination of facilities, personnel, equipment, procedures, and communications integrated for a specific purpose. For example, the U.S. interstate highways comprise a system within the transportation sector.
A
sector
consists of a logical collection of interconnected assets, systems, or networks that provide a common function to society, the economy, or the government. For example, the transportation sector consists of vast, open, accessible, interconnected systems, which include the aviation, maritime, pipeline, highway, freight rail, and mass-transit systems.
Address the following in 3–4 pages:
For each of the 18 CIKR sectors, identify 1
–
2 local examples of critical infrastructure.
Briefly describe the examples, and explain how they are operated and utilized.
Provide any information that you feel is unique to each sector.
In your local community, research the infrastructure, and identify one particular element that may be of particular interest to a terrorist or vulnerable to natural or manmade disaster.
Are there any protective measures in place to ensure its safety?

Critical Infrastructure Case StudyPower plants are an important .docx
Critical Infrastructure Case Study
Power plants are an important part of critical infrastructures and local, state, and national economies. Therefore, power plants need deep and multilayered access controls due to concerns over physical security. There are a number of sensitive areas that must be secured, and various employees need different levels of access to these locations. At a plant in the upper Midwest, this access is handled with identity badges that include images of the user and an RFID with their access rights. The RFID handles access through multiple levels. There is a security checkpoint at the entrance to the parking lot, and at the entrance. Both points require a badge to enter. From there the badge allows personnel to enter the facilities they are authorized to enter. It also acts as "something you have" for multipoint authentication onto secure systems. These are all standard functions for an RFID badge system. The badges also have an automatic deactivation feature, which is useful for certain personnel. Maintenance personnel, for example, do not have enhanced access and do not require access to secured areas of the site. However, the maintenance team may need access to any area of the facility regardless of its sensitivity, in the case of a breakdown or special project. To allow for this, the badges can be granted access rights that decay over time. This allows for temporary access to secure areas that is then automatically revoked over a number of hours or days. This lowers administrative time, and reduces the risk of human error in rights assignment.

Critical Appraisal Process for Quantitative ResearchAs you cri.docx
Critical Appraisal Process for Quantitative Research
As you critically appraise studies, follow the steps of the critical appraisal process presented in Box 18-1. These steps occur in sequence, vary in depth, and presume accomplishment of the preceding steps. However, an individual with critical appraisal experience frequently performs multiple steps of this process simultaneously. This section includes the three steps of the research critical appraisal process applied to quantitative studies and provides relevant questions for each step. These questions are not comprehensive but have been selected as a means for stimulating the logical reasoning and analysis necessary for conducting a study review. Persons experienced in the critical appraisal process formulate additional questions as part of their reasoning processes. We cover the identification of the steps or elements of the research process separately because persons who are new to critical appraisal often only conduct this step. The questions for determining the study strengths and weaknesses are covered together because this process occurs simultaneously in the mind of the person conducting the critical appraisal. Evaluation is covered separately because of the increased expertise needed to perform this final step.
Step I: Identifying the Steps of the Quantitative Research Process in Studies
Initial attempts to comprehend research articles are often frustrating because the terminology and stylized manner of the report are unfamiliar. Identification of the steps of the research process in a quantitative study is the first step in critical appraisal. It involves understanding the terms and concepts in the report; identifying study elements; and grasping the nature, significance, and meaning of the study elements. The following guidelines are presented to direct
you in the initial critical appraisal of a quantitative study.
Guidelines for Identifying the Steps of the Quantitative Research Process
The first step involves reviewing the study title and abstract and reading the study from beginning to end (review the key principles in Box 18-2). As you read, address the following questions about the research report: Was the writing style of the report clear and concise? Were the different parts of the research report plainly identified (APA, 2010)? Were relevant terms defined?
You might underline the terms you do not understand and determine their meaning from the glossary at the end of this textbook. Read the article a second time and highlight or underline each step of the quantitative research process. An overview of these steps is presented in Chapter 3. To write a critical appraisal identifying the study steps, you need to identify each step concisely and respond briefly to the following guidelines and questions:

Social Contract
The Right Way with Employees?
As a senior manager for a global player in automobile production and sales, Jane Ellis had joined thousands of fellow employees in the excitement surrounding production of the company’s new hybrid vehicles.
But barely two years into production, embarrassing component shortages, delivery delays, and a recall of the first models had a ripple effect, presenting the company with mounting concerns. In the confusion, many customers canceled orders and turned to competitors for purchase of the eco-friendly vehicles. Ellis’s company was facing a financial downturn.
With three decades of service to the company, Jane led a contingent of managers intent upon keeping together as much of the company and as many employees as possible.
“We know there will be some necessary cuts,” Jane admitted. “But this company has a long history of sticking by its people. Our first priority should be internal streamlining of how we do things and making sure we have the right people on board.”
Many managers liked what they heard from Jane. She was well-respected and had a unequaled reputation for her leadership and collaborative skills and her ability to work with managers, as well as line workers on the factory floors. People marveled at the number of individuals she knew on a personal level throughout the company.
Drew Cunningham influenced a second contingent within the management group. A brash go-getter with a reputation for fixing companies in crisis, he proposed across-the-board cuts in employees in order to implement a solution as quickly as possible. He proposed the immediate creation of a forced ranking system in order to identify and get rid of lower-ranking employees.
Jane raised her hand and rose to her feet in objection. “So we’re going to create a system to
fire
…”
“I didn’t say
fire
…”
“OK,
cut
our own hard-working people? It sounds like some lame government commission,” Jane said. “We’ve got bright people. This thing simply got worse faster than we thought. We can work with the people we have in setting up more efficient workflow, establishing reasonable deadlines to increase output and …”
“Jane, these are not the days of knowing everyone in the plant,” Drew said. “You’re not throwing out your uncle Harry. We’re taking a serious look at what we do, how we do it, and streamlining everything by keeping the right people in the organization and cutting the rest.”

Alexander V Chacon
Capella University
January, 2019
Introduction
World disasters are happening more intensely and frequently, demonstrating a critical need for the enhancement of risk management and response. High-profile disasters are increasing worldwide consciousness to strengthen national and regional capacity to mitigate, respond to and manage these disasters. Developing countries such as in the Caribbean islands, the middle east, and Africa are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters for reasons of lack of infrastructure, resources and exacerbated by geology, tectonic setting, topography and location, poor environmental management practices and land use among other reasons related to the country and respective natural or man-made disasters that frequent it (Veeneema, 2018).
Earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires are some of the most common natural disasters that have even affected developed nations such as the United States crippling small and large communities, killing thousands and destroying any infrastructure around where they occur. The disasters being experienced today worldwide are some of most devastating and strongest in the last 100 years of the human history and have been argued to be a just mere precedents for the worst that are yet to come in the near future in the face of climate change and global warming as well as other destructive human activities.
Local, state and national response
The use of technology has been employed in response to these disasters enabling rescue operations and recovery allowing cities to rebuild after each event in the wake of these disastrous happenings and empowering the rescuers to help save more lives and others to intervene. Under normal circumstances worldwide, disaster repose in high-income cou.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
