A philanthropic foundation needs to plan its investments and grants. They have decided to fund projects for improving public and population health but are only looking to support projects that will demonstrate their goodwill and keep their name associated with topics of general concern. Of course, they hope their grantees have newsworthy success. You are asked to contribute to the decision-making process by teaching the financial and program officers about emerging health problems that are expected to be significant within the next ten years. List eight emerging public health issues. For ease of organization, include each problem on a separate page and limit the draft to double-spaced text. For each issue, provide information about the populations (size and/or situation) that will be impacted. In your description, make sure you do the following: Explain the difference between raw data and information derived from it, and give examples of substantive information pertinent to this list of emerging public health issues. Identify the ethnographic (sociocultural) features and the epidemiological (disease risk) features of the population that may cause each issue to differentially affect this population. For each issue, present probable consequences to the population if intervention is not enacted. Create a statement of hypothesized causes of each problem so that the audience can judge the level and type of intervention the public expects. Make sure you discuss both the following factors: Ethnographic factors: Explain what individuals, people, governments, business, or other agencies are doing that may contribute to the problem.

Develop a disaster recovery plan to lessen health disparities and improve access to community services after a disaster. Then, develop and record an 8-10 slide presentation (PowerPoint preferred) of the plan with audio for the Vila Health system, city officials, and the disaster relief team. As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Disaster Preparedness and Management activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment as you think through key issues in disaster preparedness and management in the community or workplace. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement. Professional Context Nurses fulfill a variety of roles, and their diverse responsibilities as health care providers extend to the community. The decisions we make daily and in times of crisis often involve the balancing of human rights with medical necessities, equitable access to services, legal and ethical mandates, and financial constraints. When an unanticipated event occurs, such as an accident or natural disaster, issues can arise that complicate decisions about meeting the needs of an individual or group, including understanding and upholding their rights and desires, mediating conflict, and applying established ethical and legal standards of nursing care. As a nurse, you must be knowledgeable about disaster preparedness to safeguard those in your care. You are also accountable for promoting equitable quality of care for community residents. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply the concepts of emergency preparedness, public health assessment, triage, management, and surveillance after a disaster. You will also focus on hospital evacuation and extended displacement periods. Demonstration of Proficiency By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Analyze health risks and health care needs among distinct populations.

A suicide bomber has detonated his incendiary device on the Pink Line of the "El" in Chicago, IL. The emergency response teams have quickly extinguished the fire and have begun to treat the wounded. The explosion took place at 5 p.m. on a busy Thursday afternoon. The initial estimates are that 14 people have been killed and 67 wounded. There is also significant infrastructure damage to the Ashland station, impeding traffic on the Green and Pink lines as well as to and from the Illinois Medical District. Al-Shabaab, a terrorist group from Somalia, has claimed responsibility in response to the U.S. Navy's killing of Somali pirates. Al-Shabaab warns that 2 more explosions will occur somewhere in other major U.S. cities. Their rationale is that three pirates were killed, and therefore three explosions will occur. As can be expected, the public across the U.S. is in a panic. You are the public relations director for the Deputy Director of Homeland Security. He has asked you to develop a comprehensive white paper explaining the intervention options that the state and federal government can exercise to alleviate public fear and anxiety. He wants to make sure that you anticipate economic impacts at the local, state, and federal levels; use historical incidents if necessary. Your paper will be the basis for an upcoming DHS press conference in which the Deputy Director will attempt to assuage the public’s fear. Assignment Guidelines Address the following in 1,250–1,500 words: Provide a brief summary of the event. What psychological impacts will most likely be present at the local level? Explain at the national level? Explain. What could be the social impacts? Explain. Consider that the attack has significantly affected a major form of public transit for a major city. What could be the economic impacts? Explain. Consider consumer confidence and impacts to businesses. How would the government respond to the attack? Explain. How would the government address the psychological, social, and economic impacts? Explain. Consider immediate, short-term, and long-term impacts. Here is the outline that I submitted for this assignment. Please follow if possible, and feel free to add if necessary. I. Event Summary a. The rapid-transit system in Chicago, IL has been affectionately nicknamed the “L”. This name refers to the whole system of elevated subway systems that are segmented. In this scenario, a suicide bomber detonates and incendiary device on the “L” at the Pink Line segment. The explosion occurred around 5 p.m. on a busy Thursday afternoon for a segment that generally transports approximately 13,000 people daily. An estimated 14 people have been killed and 67 are wounded. The damage to the infrastructure has rendered the Green and Pink segments unusable. Somalian terrorist Group Al-Shabaab has publicly claimed responsibility for the attack as retaliation for the killing of three Somali pirates by the U.S. Navy. Al-Shabaab has further .

CRJ Module 6 Overview Recovery Recovery often begins in the initial hours and days following a disaster event and can continue for months or years. Recovery involves decisions and actions relative to rebuilding homes; replacing property; resuming employment; restoring businesses; and permanently repairing and rebuilding infrastructure. In this module, you will learn the role that the federal government plays in disaster recovery operations. You will list and explain the recovery programs that are administered by FEMA to fuel individual and community recovery operations. This module will also explain how federal agencies other than FEMA contribute to disaster recovery. The recovery role of national voluntary relief organizations will be discussed. The various tools that are available for community recovery planning will be identified. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this module, you should be able to: 7G Explain how federal agencies other than FEMA contribute to disaster recovery. 7H Discuss the recovery role of national voluntary relief organizations. 7I Identify various tools that are available for community recovery planning. 7J Summarize how a Community Long-Term Recovery Plan is developed, and why it is important. 8D Characterize the role of the federal government in disaster recovery operations. 8E List and explain the recovery programs administered by FEMA to fuel individual and community recovery operations. Module 6 Reading Assignment Haddow, G., Bullock, J., & Coppola, D. (2011). Introduction to emergency management. Burlington: Elsevier. Chapter 7. The Disciplines of Emergency Management: Recovery Recovery often begins in the initial hours and days following a disaster event and can continue for months or years. Recovery involves decisions and actions relative to rebuilding homes; replacing property; resuming employment; restoring businesses; and permanently repairing and rebuilding infrastructure. Because the recovery function has such long lasting impacts and usually high costs, the participants in the process are numerous, and include all levels of government, the business community, political leadership, community activists and individuals. An effective recovery brings all players together to plan, finance and implement a recovery strategy that will rebuild the disaster-impacted area safer and more secure as quickly as possible. Recovery activities begin immediately after a Presidential declaration as the agencies of the Federal Government collaborate with the State in the impacted area in coordinating the implementation of recovery programs and the delivery of recovery services. The Federal government plays the largest role in providing the technical and financial support for recovery, with FEMA obligating an annual average of $2.88 billion on public assistance projects for major disaster declarations (with an average of $58 million per major disaster declaration) and $153 million in individual assistance.

As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Disaster Preparedness and Management activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment as you think through key issues in disaster preparedness and management in the community or workplace.

In the event of a major accident or natural disaster, many issues can complicate decisions concerning the needs of an individual or group, including understanding and upholding rights and desires, mediating conflict, and applying established ethical and legal standards of nursing care. As a nurse, you must be knowledgeable about disaster preparedness and recovery to safeguard those in your care. As an advocate, you are also accountable for promoting equitable services and quality care for the diverse community. Nurses work alongside first responders, other professionals, volunteers, and the health department to safeguard the community. Some concerns during a disaster and recovery period include the possibility of death and infectious disease due to debris and/or contamination of the water, air, food supply, or environment. Various degrees of injury may also occur during disasters, terrorism, and violent conflicts. To maximize survival, first responders must use a triage system to assign victims according to the severity of their condition/prognosis in order to allocate equitable resources and provide treatment. During infectious disease outbreaks, triage does not take the place of routine clinical triage. Trace-mapping becomes an important step to interrupting the spread of all infectious diseases to prevent or curtail morbidity and mortality in the community. A vital step in trace-mapping is the identification of the infectious individual or group and isolating or quarantining them. During the trace-mapping process, these individuals are interviewed to identify those who have had close contact with them. Contacts are notified of their potential exposure, testing referrals become paramount, and individuals are connected with appropriate services they might need during the self-quarantine period (CDC, 2020). An example of such disaster is the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. People who had contact with someone .

FEMA maintains National Situation Updates, designed to provide emergency managers with information and graphics drawn from myriad agencies, governmental, media, and other. The materials provided can be used to promote situational awareness or potentially have other applications. For this unit’s discussion, visit this website . The situation updates start with today’s date and work backward. The site also lists archives for reports extending back to 2005 (and including Hurricane Katrina). Visit the report from June 7, 2011. Note how subordinate elements overlap or are incomplete and should be read with others. For example, “fire activity” lists a roll up of fires across the country, but “Fire Management Assistance Grant” details a few truly significant fires. Also, “flooding” is captured and reported by five separate regions, but the “Significant National Weather” details reveal that there are many rainstorms headed to those same regions. Assignment Guidelines In 4–5 paragraphs, address the following: Read through the reports of the last week. What trends or patterns are worth noting for the nation? What information is particularly important for the region your county is located in? Do you anticipate that your county will be specifically impacted by any of the conditions that are listed for the week? Why or why not? In answering this, consider how conditions elsewhere might ultimately impact your region or county. (Be creative and think about environmental, political, economic, or other factors that are normally beyond an emergency manager’s concerns but certainly in the realm of community leaders.) Visit reports from May 10, 2011. Which is the most important event of the day, in your opinion? Do any of the incidents have meaning for your county—how so or why not? Name and detail at least two significant events of that day with which you heard little or nothing. What might each of these incidents mean for that region, in terms of consequences beyond the precise incident? Examine the section on disaster declaration activity for this day. Research independently one of the disaster declarations that is named (specify which one) and give details about its genesis and status. Reference the source that you used for your information. ...

Coordination Letter from Council Chairs In 2003, the Federal Government established the Healthcare and Public Health (HPH) Sector as a critical infrastructure sector in the United States, recognizing that its security and resilience are essential to national security, the economy, and public health and safety. Since that time, the Sector has built strong partnerships that bring together private sector owners, operators, and professional associations with government representatives at the Federal, State, and local levels. Together, these partners have improved information sharing, developed guidance and tools, and conducted training and exercises to improve incident response and recovery. The HPH Sector recognizes the value of this partnership and continues to coordinate to improve security and resilience. 2016 Sector-Specific Plan Update The release of the 2016 HPH SSP reflects the maturation of the HPH Sector partnership and the progress of the sector programs first outlined in the 2007 and 2010 Sector-Specific Plans (SSPs). Changes from previous SSPs include a streamlined and updated set of goals and objectives and an increased emphasis on priorities such as information sharing and emergency response. The 2016 SSP represents a continued collaborative effort among the private sector; Federal, State, local, tribal, and territorial governments; and nongovernmental organizations to develop specific membership actions over the coming years required to reduce critical infrastructure risk and enhance Sector resilience. The HPH Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) and Government Coordinating Council (GCC) jointly developed the goals, priorities, and activities included in this SSP to reflect the overall strategic direction for the HPH Sector. The Sector’s goals support the Joint National Priorities developed in 2014 by the national council structures described in the National Infrastructure Protection Plan 2013: Partnering for Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience (NIPP 2013). This SSP also illustrates the continued maturation of the HPH Sector partnership and the progress made to address the Sector’s evolving risk, operating, and policy environments. The HPH Sector continues to take steps to better understand all-hazards risks and implement appropriate actions to mitigate corresponding impacts at all levels of government and the private sector throughout the Nation’s Critical Infrastructure. Key Accomplishments Since 2010, the HPH Sector partners in the public and private sectors have taken significant steps to reduce sector risk, improve coordination, and strengthen security and resilience capabilities: • Both the SCC and GCC undertook extensive outreach programs. State, local, and private sector partners were recruited through presentations, webinars, and outreach to national associations. • The Homeland Security Information Network portal for the HPH Sector was expanded to better meet the in.

A Mobile devices have become the de facto standard for communication. Almost all adults in first world countries use one or more mobile devices for work, entertainment, and communication. This means that there are many more devices on a given network and the Internet as a whole, further establishing the fact that there are many more opportunities for hackers to gain access to personal and private information. Mobile devices come with their own ways of protecting personal resources. Describe at least four different types of network security defenses that mobile operating systems provide in order to keep personal data safeguarded. Also, answer the question of who is ultimately responsible for securing personal data: the operating system vendor, or those who own the device hosting the operating system? B With mobile operating system attacks on the rise, it is going to be necessary to develop new solutions to mitigate cybersecurity threats. Most solutions that exist take on the form of pre-existing solutions that were meant to be used with desktop and server type operating systems. Thus, embedded operating systems are only just now starting to see their own utilities and solutions being born out of necessity. Describe some of the tools used to protect embedded operating system assets, and add your own personal opinion of how you feel embedded operating system security should be handled in the future. .

Amy Tan is an American writer whose novels examine family relationships, especially those of mothers and daughters. She has written several bestselling novels, such as The Joy Luck Club and The Kitchen God’s Wife. Tan has a BA and MA from San Jose State University. Mother Tongue by Amy Tan I am not a scholar of English or literature. I cannot give you much more than personal opinions on the English language and its variations in this country or others. I am a writer. And by that definition, I am someone who has always loved language. I am fascinated by language in daily life. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with. Recently, I was made keenly aware of the different Englishes I do use. I was giving a talk to a large group of people, the same talk I had already given to half a dozen other groups. The nature of the talk was about my writing, my life, and my book, The Joy Luck Club. The talk was going along well enough, until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk sound wrong. My mother was in the room. And it was perhaps the first time she had heard me give a lengthy speech, using the kind of English I have never used with her. I was saying things like, “The intersection of memory upon imagination” and “There is an aspect of my fiction that relates to thus-and-thus”—a speech filled with carefully wrought grammatical phrases, burdened, it suddenly seemed to me, with nominalized forms, past perfect tenses, conditional phrases, all the forms of standard English that I had learned in school and through books, the forms of English I did not use at home with my mother. Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My husband was with us as well, and he didn't notice any switch in my English. And then I realized why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together, I’ve often used that same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with. So you'll have some idea of what this family talk I heard sounds like, I’ll quote what my mother said during a recent conversation which I videotaped and then transcribed. During this conversation, my mother was talking about a political gangster in Shanghai who had the same last name as her family's, Du, and how the gangster in his early years wanted to be adopted by her family, which was rich by comparison. Later, the gangster became more powerful, far richer.

The 9/11 terrorist attacks have substantially changed policing. However it has been several years since the attacks and the United States has not experienced another significant attack. In what direction do you this the American police should proceed? How much emphasis should the police place on homeland security given that citizens and communities have numerous expectations that must be met? Sources. .

After several back-and-forth exchanges, you finally say, “Okay, then, we’ll do it your way.” You do what you can to give that employee exactly what he is asking for, only to find out later that he is still ticked off. You are left wondering, “What is his problem? Isn’t he ever satisfied?” On the other hand, you may have had another experience as well. An employee storms into your office, upset about a policy that, as far as she is concerned, just isn’t working. You listen. She continues talking; you continue to listen. In the back of your mind, though, you are thinking, “I don’t know what we can do to fix that. It is what it is … nobody else has complained.” She keeps talking and you keep listening. Finally she looks at you with relief and says, “Thanks for listening. I feel better. I’ll talk to you later.” You didn’t do anything, and somehow the situation is now okay. You are left wondering what happened. Usually in a conflict or disagreement, as we look for an acceptable solution, we focus on the substance of the outcome.

The conventional wisdom tells us that getting that something means that the conflict is dissolved. Did you get what you asked for? If so, then you are happy. If you did not get what you wanted, then you are not happy. In the first scenario, your expectation is that, when you finally decide on a solution, the employee will be satisfied. In the second scenario, you do not expect the employee to leave your office satisfied unless you take some action that is acceptable to her. But the reality is often more complex than that. Just as important—sometimes more important—are the other two sides of the satisfaction triangle, shown in Figure 3-1: process satisfaction and emotional satisfaction.

Ambush Predation of Stingless Bees (Tetragonisca angustula) by the Solitary-Foraging Ant Ectatomma tuberculatum Madeleine M. Ostwald1 & Selina A. Ruzi2 & Kaitlin M. Baudier1 Received: 30 June 2018 /Revised: 12 August 2018 /Accepted: 15 August 2018 / Published online: 29 August 2018 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Social insect colonies are high-value foraging targets for insectivores, prompting the evolution of complex colony defensive adaptations as well as specialized foraging tactics in social insect predators. Predatory ants that forage on other social insects employ a diverse range of behaviors targeted at specific prey species. Here, we describe a solitary foraging strategy of the ant Ectatomma tuberculatum, on nest guards of the stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula. We observed multiple instances of E. tuberculatum ambushing and successfully capturing the hovering and standing guards of T. angustula near nest entrances. The unique hovering behavior of the guard caste of this bee species, an adaptation to frequent cleptoparasitism by other stingless bees, may make these guards particularly vulnerable to ground-based, ambush attacks by E. tuberculatum. Likewise, the behavior of the foraging ants appears to adaptively exploit the defensive formations and activity patterns of these bees. These observations suggest an adaptive and targeted predatory strategy aimed at gathering external guard bees as prey from these heavily fortified nests. Keywords Sit-and-wait . bee eating . selva ant . jataí . abejas angelitas Introduction Predatory foraging strategies can broadly be placed into two categories based on the energy expended while looking for food: sit-and-wait versus active foraging (Schoener 1971).

However, such group-foraging behaviors often preclude these species from successfully preying upon a vigilant and well-defended target. Many social insects that rely on solitary stealth maneuvers have evolved behavioral strategies for overcoming this challenge (Matsuko 1984; Gronenberg 1996; Jackson and Pollard 1996; Murphy and Patek 2012). For example, Ectatomma ruidum are facultatively solitary foragers, enabling the use of a prolonged stealth approach to capture food items from heavily defended colonies of other social.

Amazon HQ2 Research Project, BUS 163 Professor Cuadra, Tacoma Community CollegeResearch Assignment, Part 2: Be sure to read through all of the questions, completely, before beginning your research. You don’t want to have to keep going back to the same subject. However, you may have to do that to some degree – that is one of things about research. That is why it is critical to keep track of your source. Please research the following questions/areas for your assigned city. BE SURE TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SOURCES. You will have to provide a list of references, and in-text citations, in submitted research. Every fact or piece of information you provide must have a citation and the full reference for that source included at the end in a reference list. This set of research is the briefest one and should not take you too much time. Be sure to check out the BUS 163 Library Guide on the left side of your Canvas screen and use the resources listed there to help you with your research.Income/Wages (50 points) 1. Try to find the average area salaries for: a. Executives (this one will vary widely, and you may get a huge range. If so, just put in the range) b. Software development engineers/software engineers c. Accountants – you may find pay rates for a wide variety of accounting jobs. You might find information for some of these: i. Accounts payable ii. Accounts receivable iii. Payroll specialists iv. Controller d. Human resource specialists (sometimes listed as HR managers) e. Non-executive management positions (project managers, program managers, supervisors) f. Administrative assistants 2. Area minimum wage (you may be surprised how low it is in some areas). 3. Overall prevailing wage – this may be hard to find. What it means is what the labor department and/or unions require to be paid. For instance, if you are doing construction work on a highway, your company has to pay you and your employees the “prevailing wage” for that work. In this area, people who pour concrete and do paving get $52/hour because that is the prevailing wage. a. Try looking at several sources, but if you cannot find the information, just list where you looked and say you could not find it. 4. Find out the median income for your city/area. 5. Find out the average household size. It is good to check out the US Census Bureau site for this kind of information. 6. Look and see if you can find out if your city/area has required sick leave, like we do in Washington now. If so, what are the details? 7. What is the average home price in the area? What is the range of home prices? Your information can just be bullet points for this. Be sure to use AT LEAST three different sources. You might want to see what different information you get for any one category. If you get different information, please note that. A good practice is to look into the source for your source – where did THEY get this information. Also, check the dates and you will likely want to use the most recent informatio.

An 'American psychologist' Robert V. Guthrie, one of the most influential and multifaceted African-American scholars of the century, wants to be remembered only as 'an American psychologist.' In an interview with the Monitor, he recollects the barriers he overcame to claim that title. By EILEEN M. O'CONNOR Monitor Staff November 2001, Vol 32, No. 10 In 1955, when Robert Guthrie, PhD, enrolled in a master's program at the University of Kentucky, he was a singular dark face against a backdrop of white. "I remember one of my white professors eyeing me as if I were an anthropological specimen and remarking, 'You are from one of our Negro schools,'" Guthrie recalls. His fellow white students didn't offer much support, either, he says, though he once attended a football game after a white student begged him. But when the band played "My Ol' Kentucky Home," a song that at the time included favorable portrayals of slavery, Guthrie knew he had to "get my education, then get the hell off campus." Despite the discomfort and frustration he felt, however, Guthrie always knew he had a right to be there. That sense of confidence is what propelled him to pursue a degree in psychology when few blacks could, to go on to teach at the University of Pittsburgh, to study multicultural issues as a senior research psychologist in Washington, D.C., and to pen the now-classic tome, "Even the Rat Was White: A Historical View of Psychology." Last spring, the National Archives of American Psychology honored Guthrie as the first African-American psychologist to deposit his papers there. Asking Guthrie to contribute was a natural choice for the archives because he has worn almost every one of psychology's hats, from research to teaching to government service, says director David Baker, PhD. "We know almost nothing about the development of psychology at historically black colleges and universities, and only Bob Guthrie's work examines this in detail," Baker explains. "African Americans have much to be proud about their struggle against adversity, like the fact that in my lifetime they were not allowed to attend many grad schools simply because of their race. There are stories of inspiration, courage and strength, and also of anger, frustration and hurt." First chapters Guthrie and his twin brother were born in Chicago on Feb. 14, 1932. Weeks later, his father, a school principal, picked up the family and moved to Richmond, Ky., then to Lexington, Ky., towns in great need of teachers for African-American schools. Growing up in the segregated South left an indelible mark on Guthrie's career outlook. "I did not think I would have an outstanding career," he says. "I was simply growing up in segregated Kentucky, and as at that time black colleges were training teachers to operate primarily in the Southern schools, I figured I might be a public school teacher. I did not know much about psychology. No one did." He was able to attend Florida A&M University in 1948 by.

Amazon is one of the world's most popular online retailers. The corporation provides its services on an online platform that enables many users in many parts of the world to have access to these services. Amazone company has undertaken massive investments in technology innovations. Amazone has a large base of customers who access the online service offered by the corporation. A large number of online users require that the company adopts the use of cloud computing and ERP systems in its operations. Modern business organizations heavily rely on cloud computing technology in their operations. Cloud computing refers to the process of delivering computer services, which are on-demand from storage applications. Cloud computing happens both over the internet and also on a pay as you go basis. Companies in the modern world prefer not to have their computing infrastructure. They opt to rent access to anything from the use of applications to the storage capacity from a cloud service provider. It is costly for companies to own their cloud computing services. The Maintenace of the infrastructure is expensive too. Companies save operational expenses by renting the infrastructure. Cloud computing enables companies to incur expenses of the only service they use, and they can pay for it only at the instance of use. The companies which engage in the provision of cloud computing services, in turn, make profits from the sale of the services to many users. (Yang et al, 2017). Cloud computing offers a wide range of services today. Through computer networking, companies can get storage space for their information and data. Cloud computing also enables networking and enhances processing power through the use of computer languages and artificial intelligence. Cloud computing also offers ideal office applications. The services do not require the users to be at the computer hardware physically. Individuals today make use of cloud computing technology. Cloud is a term that could, in other words, mean the internet. The information stored in the cloud is information stored on the internet. There are three main models of cloud computing. The first model is the Infrastructure-as-a-service. This term refers to the units that build up the computer service that is possible to lend, such as the storage service, networking service, virtual, or even physical servers. The second model is Platform-as-a-service. The building blocks that makeup Cloud computing are in layers. The next layer up and the layer underlying is what is referred to as platform-as-a-service. Amazon uses Enterprise resource technologies. Enterprise resource planning allows Amazon to integrate various business practices. ERP provides ideal solutions to various organizations. It will enable Amazon Corporation to optimize the use of resources with more significant innovation. Regardless of the size of the organization, ERP helps to reduce the waste of time.

In some estimates, 80 percent live to see another day. Yet social scientists continue to focus on gun homicide. What happens to individuals who get shot and survive? How do they experience life after the shooting? This article examines how gunshot injuries transform the lives of victims. In practical ways, gunshot injuries complicate sleeping, eating, working, and other previously taken-for-granted activities. These disruptions also have much larger exis tential significance to victims. Indeed, daily experiences with a wounded body become subjective reminders that individuals are no longer who they used to be. Ironically, in some interactions, being wounded becomes attrac tive and advantageous to victims.

American Apparel: Submit your completed strategy and change management plan. It should include all critical elements of the final project, incorporating all feedback and knowledge gained in the course. 1 Assignment:Economic Environment In 2018 I worked in a soft drinks company where they adopted the recent technology in the production to increase the production rates and the accuracy of the quality of the products. After the introduction of the technology in the company, a large number of people lost their jobs since the tech replaced the labour and was cheaper than the manual production that involved individuals directly. The technological factors are one of the external factors that are increasingly affecting the business organization. The business changes relate to the presence and the development of technology. The technology increases the supply of the products. The increase in the supply enables the company to keep up with the demand for the soft drinks. The technology enables the company to increase the productivity and the communication between the suppliers and the consumers. The company can cut down the waste as well as keep up with the demands due to technological advancement. The technology also increased the accuracy in production due to the machinery that was more accurate than the human labour and the company was able to cut down the waste again. The company reduced its expenditure in terms of the losses incurred due to poor production. It is important to consider the environment while thinking about the strategy change. The supply and demand within the business affect organizational ability. The demand and the supply stimulate each other impacting the prices of the goods and services in the budget. The customer's interest in specific products exhausts the supply available and increases demand. The demand and supply of goods and services have a high influence in determining the prices of goods and services. The prices of the product are likely to fall if the supply keeps on growing and if the supply keeps on decreasing the prices are likely to keep on growing (Becker, 2017). However, with the market economy, the interest consumers, as well as the companies, produce limits product that matches the demand and the supply and it is used in determining the product development and production.
