Geographers have been working with geographic information systems (GIS) long before there were computers, using overlays and maps, which would seem crude today. Explore the advancement of GIS to its current state by answering the following questions: When were computers first used in GIS? What were the major advances in GIS within the last two decades? What are some of the most common uses for GIS? What are some strengths and weaknesses of particular GIS software? How has the availability of information changed in the last 10 years? .

Geographic Location: They are found throughout the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. In the Pacific, their range extends as far north as Alaska and south beyond the southernmost tip of New Zealand. In the Atlantic, they can be found as far north as Norway and the Arctic Circle and south to the tip of Africa. They are mainly pelagic (open ocean) wanderers but migrate to tropical and subtropical coastal regions to mate and nest.( Osborne,2015) In 1982, scientists estimated that there were 115,000 adult female leatherback sea turtles worldwide. Recent estimates have placed the number between 20,000 and 30,000 (Singh,2007). Trends in Population: The global population for this species was estimated to be 115,000 adult females in 1982. By 1996 this had been revised down to about 30-40,000. Leatherback populations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans have undergone dramatic declines in the past forty years. For example, the nesting colony at Terengganu, Malaysia went from more than 3,000 females in 1968, to 20 in 1993, to just 2 in 1993 - there are no signs of recovery. Similar scenarios have occurred in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Mexico. Numbers of females recorded at four formerly major Pacific rookeries have declined to about 250 in Mexico, 117 in Costa Rica, two in Malaysia, and fewer than 550 in Indonesia(Anonymous, 2006) Reproduction: Leatherbacks mate offshore in shallow waters near the nesting area. The females dig their flask-shaped nests at night on sloping sandy beaches backed by vegetation. Six clutches can be laid in a season, with a 10-day period between nesting. The females may renest up to 7 miles from the first nest. An average clutch contains 80 to 85 eggs and incubation takes from 55 to 74 days. The 3-inch hatchlings emerge at night and head toward the ocean. The turtles reach sexual maturity at 6 to 10 years of age; the females nest every second or third year. In the U.S., nesting occurs from about March to July. Female leatherbacks nest an average of 5 to 7 times within a nesting season, with an observed maximum of 11 nests. Most leatherbacks remigrate to their nesting beaches at 2 to 3-year intervals. (Department of energy and environmental protection, 2014) Threats: 1- Marine pollution It is the greatest threat for leatherback sea turtles, while they accidentally eat balloons and plastic bags floating in the water which they mistaken as jellyfish. (Leigh,2015) 2- Overharvesting and illegal: Egg collection on many turtle nesting beaches is a very serious threat, especially in Southeast Asia where a culture of legal egg collection leads to the removal of tens of thousands of eggs. This practice has contributed to the local extinction of leatherbacks in Malaysia. Within the last several decades extensive egg collection and the killing of adult turtles in Indonesia has resulted in huge population declines throughout the region. Despite protective legislation, many eggs produced each year in Central America are.

Generations in the Workplace For the first time in history, four distinct generations - Matures, Boomers, Xers, and Millennials - are employed sided by side in the workplace. Each generation has distinct attitudes, behaviors, expectations, habits and motivational buttons. Effective management of this multigenerational workforce is vital to longevity and success. At work, generational differences can affect everything, including recruiting, building teams, dealing with change, motivating, managing, and maintaining and increasing productivity. Think of how generational differences in communication styles might affect misunderstandings, high employee turnover, difficulty in attracting employees and gaining employee commitment. Assignment: Research articles and/or websites to find more information regarding “generations in the workplace.” First, describe each generation including the core values, attitudes, and expectations related to the workplace and management. Be sure to point out key differences between people in each of the generations. Second, explain how you as a supervisor or manager could help to bridge the generational divide and effectively manage a diverse workplace. Compose your response using Microsoft Word.

Genre, a category of artistic production characterized by similarities in composition and style, is a term used to discuss literature, music, art, and film. It is particularly useful in critical applications because it distinguishes a work within a context of similar works. In film, we are familiar with certain broad genre categories such as horror, science-fiction, romance, and drama. Understanding genre helps provide the viewer with certain expectations about film. For instance, the film The Conjuring trailer (Version 2) is of the horror genre and thus can be discussed in context with other horror films. More specifically, it is of the sub-genre, supernatural horror, so it can be discussed in context with, say, The Exorcist trailer . Making this distinction enables the audience to situate their reaction within a particular framework. Such framework is important to our work here. In this discussion Identify a film and classify it according to its genre (or sub-genre). Include a link(s) to a trailer or scene(s) from the film. Discuss the conventions that are typical in films of that genre (or sub-genre). Explain how this specific film meets the expectations of its genre. 200 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. APA style need to cite off of the chapters provided!!

Future Trends in Public Administration Public administration is, by nature, a constantly changing field. As new local, state, and national leaders are elected and new administrations take office, policies and patterns inevitably change. Moreover, public administration is subject to the same economic, cultural, and technological shifts that affect the private sector, the nation, and the world. For example, the global recession has forced many private corporations to cut costs, streamline operations, and increase efficiency in order to remain profitable. Government organizations have had to enact similar changes in response to shrinking budgets and pressure to perform the same tasks with fewer resources. Throughout this course, you have explored many trends that have influenced the development of public administration in recent years, including the reinventing government movement, privatization, entrepreneurialism, and e-government. In this Discussion, you take a closer look at how two trends—technology and collaboration—have influenced public administration in recent years, and consider how you think one of them may influence the field in the future. Select one of the two trends you have examined this week: technology or collaboration. Reflect on how this trend has influenced public administration in recent years, and how it may continue to influence public administration in the future. Consider specific examples that support your ideas. With these thoughts in mind: Submit 150 – 500 word response: Due by Thursday 7/09/15 a brief description of the trend you selected. Then explain how this trend may influence public administration in the future. Provide at least two specific examples to support your thoughts. Support your work with specific citations from the Learning Resources. You are allowed to draw from additional sources to support your explanation, but you must cite using APA standards. All quoted material must be identified, cited, and referenced per APA standards. .
