Hazardous waste management involves identifying waste generators and types of waste, quantifying waste amounts, and determining appropriate treatment and disposal methods. Hazardous wastes come from industrial processes and household products and can harm human health or the environment if not properly managed. The preferred methods are reducing waste production, reuse, and recycling. Disadvantaged methods include incineration due to air pollution risks and landfilling due to groundwater contamination risks over time. Proper hazardous waste management is important to protect public health and the environment.
Electronic waste, or e-waste, is the fastest growing category of waste and contains toxic materials. It is important to reduce waste production and find sustainable ways of reusing, recycling, or disposing of solid and hazardous waste. The best approach is to reduce waste at the source, then reuse and recycle materials, and finally safely dispose of remaining waste. Technologies for burning and burying waste exist but have disadvantages like pollution, so reducing waste is preferable.

Eastern European countries appear to have become dependent on Ru.docxjoellemurphey
Eastern European countries appear to have become dependent on Russian oil originally due to the country being a reliable supplier to the European countries (Bradshaw, 2014, p. 76). Though the countries were allies with the United States, they were trying to become less dependent on the Middle East and saw that Russia was a reliable source. Much of this reliance was due to the “iron curtain” as well as the fact that many of the Eastern European countries were part of the Soviet Union in some way or affiliated with them.
It appears that much of the reason as to why these countries reached energy accords with Russia is due to the convenience. There was “limited access to storage and alternative sources of gas supply” (Bradshaw, 2014, p. 77). This pushed these countries to depend more on Russia, which appeared to be an easier access to gas supplies. Another reason might have been due to fear as the Kremlin punished Ukraine for voting for an anti-Moscow government (Bradshaw, 2015, p. 77). This action shows that many of these countries may have reached these accords due to the pressure and encouragement of the Soviet Government. In the 1980’s the dependence of European countries on Russian gas resources was 50-60%. In the 1970’s, many of the Eastern European countries also became reliant on Russia due to a greater demand of oil and gas. The surrounding countries that were providing resources were not able to keep up with the demand and thus these countries sought to get their sources from Russia. It also helped that Russia’s prices appeared to be lower than that of the world market (Bradshaw, 2014, p. 87-88). Due to the price of oil and gas and the availability, Eastern European countries were able to grow and build in gas import and its infrastructure, thus in turn causing it to be dependent on Russia.

The Idea of Provincializing Europe
Europe . . . since 1914 has become provincialized, . . .
only the natural sciences are able to call forth a
quick international echo.
(Hans-Georg Gadamer, 1977)
The West is a name for a subject which gathers itself in
discourse but is also an object constituted discursively;
it is, evidently, a name always associating itself with
those regions, communities, and peoples.

Early scholarly and philosophical manuscripts were in Greek. However.docxjoellemurphey
Early scholarly and philosophical manuscripts were in Greek. However, by the 5th century CE – and onward – language was mainly spread by conquests, trades, religious affiliations, technological advancements or entertainment. (Gascoigne, 2001). For example, as the geographic territory under Roman control grew, the use of Latin as a common language also spread. In areas under Roman control, Latin was the spoken and written language of the courts and commerce, as well as the language of the Christian church. As the Roman Empire expanded, Latin served as a common language that allowed for people of diverse linguistic backgrounds to be able to communicate.
Onward and by the early 14th century, the trend toward the use of vernacular language had spread throughout most of Europe. As monarchies throughout the region began to consolidate, the use of vernacular languages contributed to an increasing nationalism, or feeling of pride in one’s own nation, and in this case among people of similar linguistic backgrounds. People began to feel more connected to local leaders than they did to influences from afar. These sociopolitical shifts, along with the development of moveable type (the printing press), helped to ensure the success of the vernacular languages during the Renaissance.
Assignment:
The goal of this assignment is to research and report on the origins of vernacular language, and its spread while also providing evidence of Latin’s influence on all Western languages.
Choose one native language spoken in Europe, discuss the origins of the vernacular language and describe how the language spread.
As a whole, in what ways has Latin influenced Western language development?
Prepare a 2-page essay (not including cover page and works cited page) answering the questions stated above in APA format.

Early Innovations and Their Impact Today Wilbur and Orville Wrig.docxjoellemurphey
Early Innovations and Their Impact Today
Wilbur and Orville Wright's innovative spirit allowed them to take their place in history. Their inventions have changed the way people live around the world. At the turn of the century, an explosion in technological achievements occurred. The same kind of energy that went into advances in aviation went into the development of automobiles, telephones, televisions, and immunizations to prevent diseases. These and other innovations and achievements continue to have an enormous impact on human life.
In this week's Discussion, you will analyze two technological innovations/achievements of the late 19th/early 20th century and describe the impact they have on life today.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapter 2 (pp.10–30) from this week's Learning Resources focusing on technological innovations and achievements around the globe.
Identify two significant technological innovations/achievements (such as the telephone, television, automobiles, and vaccinations) from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Consider the ways in which these technologies made an impact on society at the turn of the century.
Reflect on how these technologies continue to impact your life today.
Support your assertions by making at least 2 references, in proper APA format, to your course readings.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis where you do the following:
Identify two significant technological innovations/achievements from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Describe, in your opinion, why you believe your choices were significant and created global impacts during that time period.
Explain how these two particular innovations/achievements impact the way you live today.

Early Constitutional ControversiesIn 1788, Alexander Hamilton and .docxjoellemurphey
Early Constitutional Controversies
In 1788, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, who had both played active roles at the Constitutional Convention, worked together to write
The Federalist Papers
, a series of articles originally published in New York newspapers to convince readers to back the ratification of the Constitution. Constitutional scholars often refer to these papers to gain an appreciation of the “original intention” of the Framers, how those men expected the federal government to operate under the Constitution, and the powers they sought to grant or deny the federal government. By the early 1790s, however, Hamilton and Madison had divided over basic constitutional questions such as whether or not the federal government could charter a national bank. The American electorate, which had ratified the Constitution, had split on the issue as well, dividing into rival Federalist and Republican parties.
For this assignment, explore
one
significant constitutional controversy, from the first two decades of the United States under the Constitution (1789 to 1821). Topics to consider include:
The incorporation of the Bank of the United States
Debt assumption
The Jay Treaty
The Alien and Sedition Acts
The Election of 1800
John Marshall’s use of judicial review
The Louisiana Purchase
The trial of Aaron Burr
Jefferson’s Embargo
Federalist opposition to the War of 1812
Missouri’s application for statehood
Describe opposing views of the topic under consideration, and explain how each side used the Constitution to support its position. Assess the validity of the two sides according to your own interpretation of the Constitution as well as according to how the Constitution and constitutional principles were understood at the time the controversy occurred.
The paper should draw from at least
one
primary source and
two
scholarly, secondary sources for a total of three sources (not including the Constitution itself). For assistance on the use of primary and secondary sources, please see sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Ashford Writing Center. The secondary sources should be accessed through any of the academic databases available through the Ashford University library.
The paper must be three pages in length and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least three scholarly resources (at least two of which can be found in the Ashford Online Library) other than the textbook to support your claims and subclaims. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.

Earlier this semester, you participated in a class discussion about .docxjoellemurphey
Earlier this semester, you participated in a class discussion about the character of Bath de Chaucer's wife. You are aware of the complexity of her as a resourceful, cunning, open and ambitious woman. For this essay, I would like you to write a comparison / contrast essay in which you discuss the Wife of Bath as you compare or contrast one or more of these three well-known modern American women: Beyoncé Lil 'Kim, and / or Lady Gaga.
Think beyond and below cliches and perceptions. The comparison should not be disrespectful to these modern iconic women. Obviously, times have changed, and I am in no way suggesting that these modern women share all or even some of the qualities of the Wife of Bath, aside from her drive for independence, sovereignty, and success.
When developing the comparisons and contrasts of it, you should use AT LEAST THREE SOURCES to gather information and knowledge to support the claims and interpretations of it. These sources should be cited in the text and on a works cited page using a precise MLA documentation style.
You will write one essay of 500 - 600 words for this paper . This essay must be formatted in MLA Paper form.
Here is the reading about The character of Bath de Chaucer’s life
From The Canterbury Tales:
General Prologue
Here bygynneth the Book of the Tales of Caunterbury
Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the root
And he bathed every veyne in swich liquor,
Of which virtue begotten is the flour;
5 Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tender croppes, and the yonge ring
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
10 That slepen al the nyght with open eye-
(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages);
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes
To ferne halwes, kowthe in probry londes;
15 And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke
That hem hath holpen, whan that they were seeke.
Bifil that in that seson, on a day,
20 In Southwerk at the Tabard as I lay
Redy to wenden on my pilgrymage
To Caunterbury with ful devout courage,
At nyght was come into that hostelrye
Wel nyne and twenty in a compaignye
25 Of Sondry folk, by aventure yfalle
In felaweshipe, and pilgrimes were they alle,
That toward Caunterbury wolden ryde.
The rooms and the stables weren wyde,
And wel we weren esed att beste;
30 And shortly, whan the sonne was to rest,
So hadde I spoken with hem everichon
That I was of hir felaweshipe anon,
And made forward erly for to ryse
To take our wey, ther as I yow devyse.
35 But nathelees, whil I have tyme and space,
Er that I ferther in this tale pace,
Me thynketh it acordaunt to resoun
To tel yow to the conditio.
This document provides instruction on writing comparison and contrast essays. It discusses balancing points between topics, writing a strong thesis statement using a T-diagram, and following an effective structure. Specifically, it recommends determining if an essay will focus more on similarities or differences, and using a T-diagram to outline key points for each topic. This allows writers to logically organize their ideas and ensure equal coverage of topics in their essays. Effective introductions and conclusions are also important.

Each year on or around June 15, communities and municipalities around the world plan activities and programs to recognize World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, a day set aside to spread awareness of the abuse of the elderly (Center of Excellence on Elder Abuse & Neglect, 2013). The abuse of older adults is a growing concern and statistics suggest that the number of elders experiencing abuse is an alarmingly high number. Research suggests that close to half the people diagnosed with dementia experience some form of abuse (Cooper, C., Selwood, A., Blanchard, M., Walker, Z., Blizard, R., & Livingston, G., 2009; Wiglesworth, A., Mosqueda, L., Mulnard, R., Liao, S., Gibbs, L., & Fitzgerald, W., 2010, as cited on http://www.ncea.aoa.gov/Library/Data/index.aspx). Elder abuse takes on many forms and can include physical, emotional, psychological, and economic abuse.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Riordan Follow Up Recommendations
Project - CardiCare Valve Proof-of-Concept
Project Team: Craig Mulligan (Project Manager), Max Hartwell
(R&D), Stu Petter
(R&D), Clinton Northrup (Operations), Alejandro Lopez
(Support, user representative
contact)
Date: December 3, 2004
Introduction
Riordan Manufacturing is a global plastics manufacturer
employing 550 people with
11. projected annual earnings of $46 million. The company is
wholly owned by Riordan
Industries, a Fortune 1000 enterprise with revenues in excess of
$1 billion. Its products
include plastic beverage containers produced at its plant in
Albany, Georgia, custom
plastic parts produced at its plant in Pontiac, Michigan, and
plastic fan parts produced at
its facilities in Hangzhou, China. The company's research and
development is done at the
corporate headquarters in San Jose. Riordan's major customers
are automotive parts
manufacturers, aircraft manufacturers, the Department of
Defense, beverage makers and
bottlers, and appliance manufacturers.
The R & D Department at Riordan’s Corporate Headquarters
consists of five product
development personnel. Their job is to research and develop the
next generation of heart
valves, medical stents, and complementary medical devices. It
has been the believe of
management that new product development efforts require only
a small amount of raw
materials and components to build proof-of-concept models or
initial working models of
potentially new products. Consequently, minimal investment
has been made in materials
and components. However, the experiences of the CardiCare
Valve Proof-of-Concept
project imply that a greater commitment to new development in
the medical arena may be
value added based on project closure documentation. The
President’s office initiated this
follow-up review to assess the company’s progress in
implementing the
12. recommendations noted in the closure materials for improving
operational efficiency and
reducing expenses when developing medical devices.
Scope and Methodology
For the follow-up review, Riordan management:
- Reviewed the operating policies and procedures for research
and development;
- Developed summary matrices to track the recommendations
from the CardiCare project
documentation;
- Interviewed CardiCare project staff, including the project
manager, R&D and other
staff, and user representatives;
- Conducted on-site visits to Riordan R&D and operations
facilities; and
Riordan Follow Up Recommendations
Project - CardiCare Valve Proof-of-Concept
- Researched medical device R&D operations at several non-
Riordan facilities to
determine the reasonableness of current Riordan project costs
and return on investment
data and to identify best operational and internal control
practices.
13. We conducted the follow-up review in accordance with
government and internal auditing
standards. We initiated our follow-up review in September
2004, and completed our
fieldwork and data collection activities in November 2004.
Findings
Based on the follow-up review of the CardiCare project,
determined that Riordan
management fully or partially implemented all four of the
recommendations contained in
the project’s Lessons Learned Report. Noteworthy
improvements and additional
operating efficiencies include:
- Securing at least one user representative from 80% of the
current population of current
and potential product users. However, due to schedule
limitations, ability to have full
participation in all product review meetings is unlikely. To
increase likelihood of
obtaining substantive user feedback, Riordan management could
supplement existing on-
site meeting processes with online/virtual reviews using Web
technologies or forward
confidential documentation to users for off-line review at their
convenience. Both
options decrease dependence on on-site meetings, but may
require Riordan to invest
time/resources to a) develop and/or implement a Web tool that
is easy enough for the user
representatives to access and b) establish and/or enhance
existing process related to
proprietary information management to minimize chance that
development
14. documentation is shared with competitors.
- Piloting an iterative development methodology with two
current R&D projects. Upon
conclusion of both projects, performance statistics (duration to
completion, user
satisfaction, expense data, etc.) will be compared with other
projects completed using
non-iterative methods. The results will help Riordan determine,
at a high level, whether
iterative approaches should be adopted on a wider scale.
- Assessing feasibility of an R&D asset management strategy.
A global, proactive
strategy is seen as preferred over reviewing asset capabilities at
the beginning of planning
activities for individual projects. With a knowledgebase of
asset information (version,
install date, technical contact, etc.), can easily determine
whether a proposed activity
complements available resources. In addition, the resource
could facilitate identification
of antiquated tools/technologies that can be targeted for
replacement so they do not
become barriers to project progress.
- Cross-training R&D staff on high profile project activities.
The current R&D staffing
level and workload precludes Riordan from adopting a paired
development approach. An
alternative process is being used to leverage existing staff
meetings as training sessions to
educate all R&D staff about high priority projects. Case study
presentations provide an
15. Riordan Follow Up Recommendations
Project - CardiCare Valve Proof-of-Concept
overview of a project’s primary objectives, key deliverables and
current status. In
addition, the presentations highlight at least one project activity
that serves as an
opportunity for staff to develop task-level knowledge. All
materials from these case
studies are stored in a shared drive accessible to R&D staff for
reference.
Conclusion
Although Riordan’s R&D activities may not require the level of
investment in materials
and components found in operational areas, process
enhancements may facilitate
improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of product
development activities.
Progress made to date on published recommendations implies
that management is
supportive of such modifications. To reap the greatest benefits
from the
recommendations without overloading front line staff,
management should take
ownership for refining the existing administrative infrastructure
(policies, rewards, etc.)
to encourage the adoption of the recommendations.

Recommendations 3
Management and quality processes
Positives - Brainstorming session helped identify numerous user
requirements
that the technical team could evaluate for feasibility
- Use of instant messaging for just-in-time discussions between
project
team members
- Weekly face-to-face meetings with project team to share
updates and
vent frustrations
Negatives - Inconsistent participation by user representatives
- Waiting until the end of extensive development prior to obtain
user
feedback
Not available - Issue tracking tool available to all team
members (all items had to be
funneled to a single contact for data entry into Excel)
- Sophisticated CAD tool not available at start of project (some
delays
until tool installed and accessible)
19. Abnormal events
- Key technical contact not available for extended period
(personal
leave)
- Unexpected power outage resulted in loss of some project data
Technical methods and tools
CAD tool available at project start antiquated. Further
investigation revealed
that tool was no longer supported by vendor source,
necessitating a fast-track
approach to investigating and securing a more adequate
alternative.
Riordan Lessons Learned Report
Project Issues
a) CAD tool not advanced enough to model submitted changes –
see
“Technical Methods and Tools” section; CAD tool upgraded for
assigned
20. CAD operators
b) Incorporating additional materials increase product
development costs by
20% - resulted from user feedback/change requests; intend for
product’s
revenue to cover resource investments
c) Operational units not outfitted to accommodate modifications
suggested
via change requests – decision to invest in internal staff training
or engaging
contractual/offshore resources delegated to higher level
management
d) User representatives continue to submit change requests as
development
team attempts to finalize design – Ongoing Product Support
activity to
manage users expectations
Recommendations
For future projects, consider the following activities:
- Solicit 1-2 representatives from each user area to evaluate
project
deliverables to help insure that all user perspectives are
available
- Use iterative product development methodologies that allow
users to
see and comment on product building blocks (versus nearly
complete
end product) so development can shift focus if necessary with
relative
ease
- Evaluate appropriateness/value of available tools/technologies
21. early in
the planning process to allow time for acquisition of
replacements if
warranted
- Pair up key staffing resources so backup staff is readily
available to
key project schedule on track

I definitely think that you could use the "Analyze the pros and
cons of each product in comparison to each other" to help with
the section discussing the decision making criteria. You might
want to look at the information in the text from last discussing
design criteria etc. I think a couple of good reasons for
selecting these products is they are high profile in use and what
they do and they offer the possibility of a large profit margin.
The end report pdf details some of this if I'm not
mistakenhttps://ecampus.phoenix.edu/secure/aapd/cist/vop/Busi
ness/Riordan/docs/Operations/RMEndRpt2.pdf This also lists
the issues and results of the process. I think some of the designs
could not me produced and it looked like there was some
confusion between operations. It also mentioned how there
would be no short term return but long term profits were strong.
As far as baseline data is concerned personally I am thinking
safety and regulation. These products are put inside a human
body so I am sure government and health regulations are high.
Also, from what I could pick up from the pdf's they were or are
having troubles with the design,, something about CAD systems
and the ability to manufacture the products per the
specifications of the designs. I could be completely off here,
31. but hopefully some of this will help or give some perspective at
the very least. I can keep digging and will post some thoughts
on what I find
