Classic Combo Plate Directions: Before there were all the cart options, I remember going to the cafes near campus that offered combo menus. For a reasonable price, the menu usually had two lists of items and you would choose one from column A and one from column B for a very satisfying lunch. For our musical version of the combo plate, you are asked to select one composer from column A (just the big three) and one composer from column B (a very long Wikipedia page with composers listed by birth year) Both composers must share the same, or nearly the same, birth year . The latitude for this is no more than + or - 10 years. We want to place both of them solidly within the Classic era and also within roughly the same generation. Find one movement of a piece of music by each. that is a total of two tracks for this assignment. Include a link to that specific movement of each piece so that readers of your post can quickly click it to listen. You may use Naxos (a bit easier to pinpoint the exact movement in a longer piece) or YouTube but you are responsible for providing the accurate url. Please be careful in YouTube that your music link takes your reader to exactly the movement you write about. For each of these two tracks provides clearly the full title of each piece and the exact movement title or number if these are from multi-movement works. Provide background information on both of the movements of music you have selected and some bio information on the lesser known composer from "column B". Include musical observations based on your own listening as you compare the two tracks. You may find it easier to make a targeted comparison if you select works of a similar genre (for instance, the first movement of a piano sonata by each composer, or the slow movement of a symphony by each, or the minuet movement of a string quartet, or a soprano aria from an opera by each......) Interesting "fun facts" might include: did the two ever meet? Where did they live, did they study with the same teacher? Were they both performers as well as composers? Did each have a patron? Music Selection parameters Column A Classic era composers are limited to the big three we have covered already this term: Franz Joseph Haydn b. 1732 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart b. 1756 Ludwig van Beethoven b. 1770 Choose just one movement of one piece by one of these "big three" composers. Column B classic era composers are listed at the page linked below. Scroll to find the birth years you need for a match. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Classical-era_composers#Middle_Classical_era_composers_(born_1730%E2%80%931750) Choose just one movement of one piece by one of the other classic era composers that you find at this page. Reply post: After completing your main post, make an interactive reply post to another student's main post. An interactive reply post shows you've listened to the music they wrote about (supply track timings for your musical obse.

Class, this is the final forum of the course. From our readings from Week 8, we see that field of emergency management including the Incident Command System and NIMS have changed drastically over the years. The NIC has been developed in order to make sure that our incident management systems are as efficient and effective as possible. Going forward, there will inevitably be changes that will positively impact our emergency response and disaster planning organizations. In the past 50 years we have seen significant changes to the field of emergency management in our country. Some of the notable turning points in the field of emergnecy management include the following: 1974 - Disaster Relief Act of 1974 - The Disaster Relief Act of 1974 authorized the president of the United States to implement a program of disaster preparedness and relief aid that would enable use of all federal agencies. The Disaster Relief Act of 1974 states that any federal assistance offered is dependent upon the president authorizing such aid in the form of issuing a declaration. 1979 - FEMA is created. 1988 - Stafford Act - Part of the reason for the change from the Disaster Relief Act of 1974 to the Stafford Act was the fact that the federal government was concerned about expanding disaster declarations beyond only natural disasters, and this included other types of incidents such as technological disasters (Three Mile Island in PA) and other instances outside the scope of natural disasters. Terrorism is not yet included. Federal assistance could be requested by the state on behalf of either the local government or state government. However, the request from the state must come from the governor. 2002 - Homeland Security Act - The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks resulted in the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). FEMA is now included under the umbrella of DHS. HSPD-5 established the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Plan (NRP). HSPD-8 established policies to strengthen the preparedness of the United States to prevent and respond to threatened or actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies by requiring a national domestic all-hazards preparedness goal, establishing mechanisms for improved delivery of Federal preparedness assistance to State and local governments, and outlining actions to strengthen preparedness capabilities of Federal, State, and local entities. 2005 - Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act - the performance of FEMA and other emergency management agencies during Hurricane Katrina results in the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act ( PKEMRA ) of 2006. The act enhances FEMA's responsibilities and its autonomy within DHS. Significant and meaningful changes to FEMA were made to increase preparedness levels of the general population and aid in mitigation and resilience efforts. These changes also included incident managem.

Emerson University of Chicago Press Published 1995 Chapter 1: Fieldnotes in Ethnographic Research Ethnographic field research involves the study of groups and people as they go about their everyday lives. Carrying out such research involves two distinct activities. First, the ethnographer enters into a social setting and gets to know the people involved in it; usually, the setting is not previously known in an intimate way. The ethnographer participates in the daily routines of this setting, develops ongoing relations with the people in it, and observes all the while what is going on. Indeed, the term "participant-observation" is often used to characterize this basic research approach. But, second, the ethnographer writes down in regular, systematic ways what she observes and learns while participating in the daily rounds of life of others. Thus the researcher creates an accumulating written record of these observations and experiences. These two interconnected activities comprise the core of ethnographic research: Firsthand participation in some initially unfamiliar social world and the production of written accounts of that world by drawing upon such participation. In the following sections we examine in detail each of these activities and then trace out their implications for writing fieldnotes. ETHNOGRAPHIC PARTICIPATION Ethnographers are committed to going out and getting close to the activities and everyday experiences of other people. "Getting close" minimally requires physical and social pr.

Evaluate the performance of the leader and describe the identifiable outcomes of that leader's innovation and success. Chuck Wexler is an MIT Ph.D. turned international anti-crime strategist. Wexler has been devoted to his career since the 1990s directing the Police Executive Research Forum, a Washington-based group that works to develop best practices for America’s police forces. PERF’s underlying belief is that there’s much more police departments can do to de-escalate volatile encounters and, ultimately, repair trust with communities a view advanced in the group’s new set of 30 guiding principles rapidly being adopted by police forces around the country, from Baltimore to St. Paul.

Using the mean and standard deviation, what percentage of offenders are over 18? b. What percentage of offenders are over 21? c. What is the probability of selecting at random an offender who is under 18? 2. Using the frequencies procedure (ANALYZE, DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS, FREQUENCIES), request a histogram of victim age with the normal curve overlay (from the Charts button), as well as the mean and standard deviation (from the Statistics button). a. Comment on the closeness of the actual distribution to the normal curve. b. Based on the normal distribution (using the z score and Table A), what is the probability that a victim is under 13? 3. Using the frequencies procedure (ANALYZE, DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS, FREQUENCIES), request a histogram of offender age with the normal curve overlay (from the Charts button), as well as the mean and standard deviation (from the Statistics button). Comment on the closeness of the actual distribution to the normal curve. Lab 7 Mitosis and Meiosis & Start Lab 8 Mendelian Genetics Terminology Gene – a discrete unit of hereditary information, such as a segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein or trait (example: a gene that codes for eye color) Lab Topic 7 contains many bold-faced terms related to genetics and cell division. For future quizzes and lab exams, make sure you can define the bold-faced terms in the Blackboard notes. More Terminology Allele – alternate versions of the same gene (example: an allele that codes for blue eye color vs. an allele that codes for brown eye color) Chromosome – a discrete strand of DNA (and associated organizational proteins) within the nucleus Chromosome talk Homologous chromosomes – a pair of chromosomes that carries the same basic set of genes. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism’s father, while the other homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism’s mother. Chromosome talk, continued Sister chromatids are two copies of a duplicated chromosome that are still physically attached to each other. These chromatids are separated from one another during mitosis and meiosis II; once the chromatids split apart, each one is considered an individual chromosome. Ploidy A diploid (2n) cell contains two sets of chromosomes. One set was inherited from the organism’s mother, while the other set was inherited from the organism’s father. A haploid (n) cell contains one set of chromosomes. In humans, mature egg and sperm cells are haploid. The Human Life Cycle: Mitosis Mitosis occurs all over the human body for growth and repair. During this process, one diploid (2n) parent cell divides into two diploid daughter cells. Since mitosis is essentially a cloning process, the daughter cells are identical to each other and to the original par.

It is this portion that monies for needed “equipment” is found within the budget. Some states allow for “construction projects” to also be included in this section of the budget, however Florida is not one of those states. The laws vary from state to state as to the definition of “equipment” within public organizations. Equipment purchased under this portion of the budget is almost always placed on the agency’s inventory and assigned a property control number. Obviously this is the means whereby equipment is both managed and accounted for in public agencies. When equipment is no longer needed by the agency, it is either sold at public auction, or disposed of in accordance with law. Strict records should always be kept of all equipment under the control of any public agency. Chapter Four Lecture In this module we will be examining the Capital Outlay portion of the budget. Monies allocated for this portion of the budget vary based upon the agency or government entity preparing the budget. The power point provided for this module discusses monies allocated to this portion of the budget may include such things as construction costs for new buildings. Other areas of the power point discuss monies allocated to this portion of the budget are allocated for equipment. The difference can be found in the government entity preparing the budget. Let’s take a look at the local level of government, county or city. In the United States counties and cities have a governing body called the Council or Commission. This governing body is known as the legislative branch of that local government. Local agencies, such as the police department, sheriff’s office, building and zoning, etc. do not place it their budgets under the capital expenditure portion construction for new buildings or purchasing land. This would be done at the county or city level within the ove.
