An Alternative Approach to National Space Policy
The administration of President Barack Obama has revised U.S. National Space Policy in a process somewhat shorter and more streamlined than previous administrations. However, even this modified approach consumes substantial time and resources while yielding, at best, incremental improvements. This paper suggests a different way to configure the nation’s top-level space policies, with particular emphasis on creation of a new policy that combines space exploration and development, and better articulates long-term goals and strategies for the nation’s civil space efforts.

Identify author and describe potential biases.
Robert McGuire is a research professor of economics at Akron University. He has a Ph.D. from the University of Washington and has written various books including Pathogens, Parasites, and Progress and To Form A More Perfect Union. Being a research professor, the author could have research bias but that is not seen in this article.
Identify thesis and arguments.
The article refutes conclusions that the south and north alignments assisted the realization and passing of the constitutional convention of 1787. The distinguished economic interest of the region including slavery, merchant and commercial activities led to sectional rifts. These, in turn, created the need for compromises and agreements between both sides to complete the constitution. The author argues the rifts meant that the constitution was predisposed to failure and its original design fell short of serving as the constitution of the nation. This led to civil wars and a southern secession and led to the need for three amendments to save the constitution.
What primary sources did the source rely on?
The author borrows from articles and memoirs published by participants of the drafting of the constitution. This includes letters and memoranda on the views from the south and north alignments.
Is the source reliable and convincing? Why or why not?
The source is reliable and convincing. The author is a professor who has earned his Ph.D. doing research. Being a research professor means that the author intricately understands research and represents it with efficacy, therefore, making it reliable. The author also shows objectivity and is not invested in any side or any particular belief.
How does the source relate to your project topic? How does it add to what you already know about the topic?
The alignment of the north and south during the drafting of the constitution was instrumental in how well the constitution would fare. At the time, the constitution was a big step and its drafting and consequent ratification were heavily reliant on alignments and alliances.

Question 1No one entity or public servant can do a job alone. Te.docx
Question 1
No one entity or public servant can do a job alone. Teamwork, collaboration, and coordination are key elements in public service. The local government is dependent on state agencies and or neighboring jurisdictions as well as funding from the national level. Conversely, federal authorities often rely on local and state entities to manage or maintain programs at the grassroots level.
Discuss the central importance of coordination among public agencies (Chapter 4). What is it and why is it often important? What are some of the factors that might undermine or strengthen efforts to improve coordination? (As always, you can employ real-world examples to bring this concept to life.)
Question 2
Based on the reading, outline the types of grants that may be available to state and local government. Research two specific grant programs that would be available to an emergency management organization at the state or local level from another level of government. Explain the uses of the grants and the specifications for utilizing the funding. Please provide references in APA format.
Question 3
Your response to the question below should be at least one brief paragraph.
Describe the main two models of bureaucracy and elements of each model. Provide an explanation as to which model you find is most effectively used in public administration.

Your response to each question below should be at least one brief paragraph.
a.) Identify two theories of organizational behavior and provide the key differences. (At least one paragraph)
b.) How is modern organizational theory different and provide rationale as to if it is better or worse in practice? (At least one paragraph)
Question 5
Your response to each question below should be at least one brief paragraph.
Communication and interagency coordination are crucial in emergency management.
a.) Outline the components of communication and provide a real-world example of how communication worked effectively and ineffectively between different levels of government, departments, and agencies in a crisis situation. (At least one paragraph)

The relationship between the President of the United States and the American party system is one of great complexity. Unlike a Prime Minister or Parliament style government, the President is chosen from the electoral base; rather than their own political party (Wiesehomeier, 2009). This major difference can either be a good thing or a burden for a President, depending on how they lead and utilize tools at their disposal. For example, the art of flip flopping.

Recently, the U.S. experienced a government shutdown. Although it was for only a short period of time, the shutdown resulted in consequential disruptions of key services and facility closures, as well the temporary furlough of countless Federal Government employees. The government shutdown was the result of a political impasse in Congress, where the Republican majority did not have sufficient votes in the U.S. Senate to garner the 60 votes required to pass the budget resolution. It passed the House of Representatives with the required votes.
Senate Republicans and Democrats reached a probable compromise related to defense spending, border protection spending and protection for Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) aliens, with the Republicans focused on the two former and the Democrats focused on the latter. Initially, a bi-partisan Senate agreement was struck, but the President rejected the deal causing the political parties to return to impasse. In this instance, Congress had reached a compromise, but the Executive Branch, specifically the President, chose not to accept the compromise causing the deal to collapse, resulting in the shutdown. Within 72 hours following the shutdown, another compromise was struck to pass a continuing spending resolution to temporarily fund the Federal Government until February 8, 2018, upon which another vote would be required. Partisan politics hard-lines, or hyper-partisanship, significantly reduce paths to compromise and it is the American people who suffer in the end.
Interestingly, however, partisan political positions can reverse over time due to changing circumstances. In 2011 and 2013 during the Obama Administration, Congressional Democrats wanted to raise the U.S. debt ceiling to preclude the national debt from surpassing the limit set by law. When the national debt reaches the debt ceiling, and when expenses exceed revenues, the U.S. Treasury cannot increase its borrowing; it may only fund expense for which there is sufficient available cash. 1 The Republicans, wishing to reduce government spending, and who also held the majority in Congress, opposed increasing the debt ceiling to further their own political agenda to cut government spending. 2 In 2013, Republicans used their vote for the debt ceiling to negotiate entitlement reform impacting the Affordable Care Act 3. President Obama responded by saying that he is not going to “negotiate on jeopardizing the full faith and credit of the United States.”2 The impasse resulted in a lapse in funding and a government shutdown. Ultimately, Republicans succeeded in reducing government spending, but they were unsuccessful in their attempts to cripple the Affordable Care Act. 2
Fast forward to 2018, and the tables are turned. With Republicans in control of both the White House a ...

Paper 1 and 2 background
Let’s begin here with an excerpt from Bolman, L. G. & Deal, T. E. (2003). Reframing organizations: artistry, choice, and leadership (3rd ed.). San Francisco: John Wiley. Note the assumptions of the Political Frame, as you will use these to guide the writing of your Case:
Assumptions of the Political Frame
The political frame views organizations as living, screaming political arenas that host a complex web of individual and group interests. Five propositions summarize the perspective:
1. Organizations are coalitions of diverse individuals and interest groups.
2. There are enduring differences among coalition members in values, beliefs, information, interests, and perceptions of reality.
3. Most important decisions involve allocating scarce resources—who gets what.
4. Scarce resources and enduring differences make conflict central to organizational dynamics and underline power as the most important asset.
5. Goals and decisions emerge from bargaining, negotiation, and jockeying for position among competing stakeholders.
All five propositions of the political frame came to the fore in the Challenger incident:
1. Organizations are coalitions. NASA did not run the space shuttle program in isolation. The agency was part of a complex coalition including contractors, Congress, the White House, the military, the media—even the American public. Consider, for example, why Christa McAuliffe–was aboard. Her expertise as a social science teacher was not critical to the mission. But the American public was bored with white male pilots in space. Human interest was good for both NASA and Congress; it built public support for the space program. McAuliffe's participation was a magnet for the media because it made for a great human interest story. Three years earlier, Sally Ride generated excitement as the first female astronaut. Now the idea of putting an ordinary citizen in space—especially a teacher—caught the public's imagination. Symbolically, Christa McAuliffe represented all Americans. Everyone flew with her.
2. There are enduring differences among coalition members. NASA's hunger for funding competed with the public's interest in lower taxes. Astronauts' concerns about safety were at odds with pressures on NASA and its contractors to maintain an ambitious flight schedule.
3. Important decisions involve allocating scarce resources. On the eve of the Challenger launch, key parties struggled to balance conflicting pressures. Everyone from Pres. Ronald Reagan to the average citizen was waiting for the first teacher to fly in space. Higher safety carried a high price—not just money, but further erosion of support from key constituents for both Morton Thiokol and NASA. Survivor, a pioneer of "reality" television, guaranteed political infighting because the rules allowed for only one winner.
4. Scarce resources and enduring differences make conflict central and power the most important asset. The teleconference on the eve of the launch.

What does it mean to be an effective manager in a diverse workforce?
According to Chip Conley, the workforce diversity is characterized of gender, ethnicity and age; which needs a much keener attention. He points out that an effective manager should realize that age diversity makes a company stronger and that different generations within a workplace should focus on mentoring one another at work. He emphasizes on the need to allow openness with one another so that wisdom; knowledge, experience and skills from the young to the old and vice versa. According to Chip Conley, the current 60s is the new 40s and that the current 30s is the new 50s; a key note to take on how effective relationship in a workplace could enrichen a company with greater shared wisdom and skills. Every manager need to relate such knowledge in ensuring effective making of modern elders from the millennials.
According to Chip, an effective manager should establish a learning environment for the boomers and the millennials. Each generation should see the other as assets from which they can derive wisdom. Moreover, Chip calls for both the millennials and the boomers to fix their ego, perhaps so that they can enhance their relationship and get to learn from one another. He calls for the need of the managers to enhance a growth mindset in a workplace and the need for the employees to be curious of getting to know what the other generation can offer, and trying to oneself. Chip states that “Curiosity is the elixir for life”
Working on the psychological empowerment of specifics groups and ensuring mental flexibility is very important for various generations to work coherently effectively. Additionally, a manager in charge of a diverse workforce should ensure that the differences existing between the BB and X generations, and the Y and Z generations should be harmonized so that they do not tamper with the achievement of the organizations set goals and objectives (Toro, Labrador-Fernández & De Nicolas, 2019).
Maintaining a positive working environment helps in enhancing the performance of a diverse workforce. Looking at the small business managers, workforce diversity can be well managed if the owner’s manager supports the existing generational interconnections and the variations as a result of the general difference defining these groups by valuing their differences and the similarities. An effective manager is therefore required to cause a diversity openness among the workforce. Such ensure the performance at all levels, i.e. both the organizational and individual. A manager should, therefore, have the ability to effectively enforce the eradication of the internal communication barriers existing as a result generational, racial, gender, ethnic, age, personality tenure, cognitive style, education among other dissimilarities .

Comments ( add 5) So in what other ways do these budgetary structures lead to situations like the debt ceiling and the debates about it? Any thoughts?
Response one pol-06
Recently, the U.S. experienced a government shutdown. Although it was for only a short period of time, the shutdown resulted in consequential disruptions of key services and facility closures, as well the temporary furlough of countless Federal Government employees. The government shutdown was the result of a political impasse in Congress, where the Republican majority did not have sufficient votes in the U.S. Senate to garner the 60 votes required to pass the budget resolution. It passed the House of Representatives with the required votes.
Senate Republicans and Democrats reached a probable compromise related to defense spending, border protection spending and protection for Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) aliens, with the Republicans focused on the two former and the Democrats focused on the latter. Initially, a bi-partisan Senate agreement was struck, but the President rejected the deal causing the political parties to return to impasse. In this instance, Congress had reached a compromise, but the Executive Branch, specifically the President, chose not to accept the compromise causing the deal to collapse, resulting in the shutdown. Within 72 hours following the shutdown, another compromise was struck to pass a continuing spending resolution to temporarily fund the Federal Government until February 8, 2018, upon which another vote would be required. Partisan politics hard-lines, or hyper-partisanship, significantly reduce paths to compromise and it is the American people who suffer in the end.
Interestingly, however, partisan political positions can reverse over time due to changing circumstances. In 2011 and 2013 during the Obama Administration, Congressional Democrats wanted to raise the U.S. debt ceiling to preclude the national debt from surpassing the limit set by law. When the national debt reaches the debt ceiling, and when expenses exceed revenues, the U.S. Treasury cannot increase its borrowing; it may only fund expense for which there is sufficient available cash. 1 The Republicans, wishing to reduce government spending, and who also held the majority in Congress, opposed increasing the debt ceiling to further their own political agenda to cut government spending. 2 In 2013, Republicans used their vote for the debt ceiling to negotiate entitlement reform impacting the Affordable Care Act 3. President Obama responded by saying that he is not going to “negotiate on jeopardizing the full faith and credit of the United States.”2 The impasse resulted in a lapse in funding and a government shutdown. Ultimately, Republicans succeeded in reducing government spending, but they were unsuccessful in their attempts to cripple the Affordable Care Act. 2
Fast forward to 2018, and the tables are turned. With Republicans in control of both the White House a ...

Paper 1 and 2 background
Let’s begin here with an excerpt from Bolman, L. G. & Deal, T. E. (2003). Reframing organizations: artistry, choice, and leadership (3rd ed.). San Francisco: John Wiley. Note the assumptions of the Political Frame, as you will use these to guide the writing of your Case:
Assumptions of the Political Frame
The political frame views organizations as living, screaming political arenas that host a complex web of individual and group interests. Five propositions summarize the perspective:
1. Organizations are coalitions of diverse individuals and interest groups.
2. There are enduring differences among coalition members in values, beliefs, information, interests, and perceptions of reality.
3. Most important decisions involve allocating scarce resources—who gets what.
4. Scarce resources and enduring differences make conflict central to organizational dynamics and underline power as the most important asset.
5. Goals and decisions emerge from bargaining, negotiation, and jockeying for position among competing stakeholders.
All five propositions of the political frame came to the fore in the Challenger incident:
1. Organizations are coalitions. NASA did not run the space shuttle program in isolation. The agency was part of a complex coalition including contractors, Congress, the White House, the military, the media—even the American public. Consider, for example, why Christa McAuliffe–was aboard. Her expertise as a social science teacher was not critical to the mission. But the American public was bored with white male pilots in space. Human interest was good for both NASA and Congress; it built public support for the space program. McAuliffe's participation was a magnet for the media because it made for a great human interest story. Three years earlier, Sally Ride generated excitement as the first female astronaut. Now the idea of putting an ordinary citizen in space—especially a teacher—caught the public's imagination. Symbolically, Christa McAuliffe represented all Americans. Everyone flew with her.
2. There are enduring differences among coalition members. NASA's hunger for funding competed with the public's interest in lower taxes. Astronauts' concerns about safety were at odds with pressures on NASA and its contractors to maintain an ambitious flight schedule.
3. Important decisions involve allocating scarce resources. On the eve of the Challenger launch, key parties struggled to balance conflicting pressures. Everyone from Pres. Ronald Reagan to the average citizen was waiting for the first teacher to fly in space. Higher safety carried a high price—not just money, but further erosion of support from key constituents for both Morton Thiokol and NASA. Survivor, a pioneer of "reality" television, guaranteed political infighting because the rules allowed for only one winner.
4. Scarce resources and enduring differences make conflict central and power the most important asset. The teleconference on the eve of the launch.

Introduction
Background of the Research
Innovation plays a critical role in assisting businesses to sustain and grow their market
shares. It takes place in dissimilar functions and parts of the business and it is significant to
understand the best way to create and manage it effectively. Digital technologies have been
regularly used in business and this has led to digitized workplaces that demand the need to invent
to remain at the top in the market (Kay & Willman, 2018). Digitizing places of work has played
a key role in changing the way business is usually managed and this has similarly affected how
innovation must be managed and embraced in such a novel business atmosphere. Therefore, the
best way to understand technological innovation in the digital business atmosphere is the need to
understand how technology has been shaping the business world.
The reason for choosing technological innovation in digital business environments is that
business owners play a critical role in the identification and application of new technologies. By
investing in initiatives that permit them to deliver efficient and effective services and products,
they discover innovative solutions to complex challenges (Camisón & Villar-López, 2014).
Successful technological innovation needs collaboration, expert project management, planning,
and execution. Worldwide competition and rigorous demand to bring commodities to market
very fast affect decisions.

Introduction
The for-profit organization which will be analyzed in this report is a famous casual dining restaurant and bar called Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant and Sports Bar. This is an international organization which has various outlets in different parts of the world such as in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Panama, India, and the Philippines among other countries. The reason why Buffalo Wild Wings is the target organization for this report is that it recently received a new president, Lyle Tick, who set an objective to improve the brand image of the restaurant so that it can attract more customers (Romeo, 2018). Due to this, the organization is undertaking some changes in its marketing which is an important component of the internal operations of the business. The change of focus is implementing a social media marketing campaign to increase the number of new customers for the restaurant. This report will evaluate different factors, positive and negative issues, and challenges, which can affect the change process as well as analyze different concepts which can be used to improve change management and change process so as to result to the desired outcomes.
Identify the role of strategic renewal in propelling change.
Strategic renewal is important in creating change interventions which will impact the team members and the organization positively. This is an important process which helps change managers to evaluate the existing progress of the change process and focus on how to improve the change process so that the desired outcome may be achieved. One of the roles of strategic renewal in propelling change is by revisiting and improving the change strategies. Strategic renewal ensures that the organization is able to develop a strategic game plan which will be used to promote different growth objectives during change management. This enhances change since the organization is able to focus on having a competitive advantage against other competitors and satisfying the customers’ needs to the best of its abilities. In the case of Buffalo Wild Wing Restaurant, it focused on adopting new growth objective which aimed at attracting more millennial customers to ensure it increases the size of the target market for the restaurant.
Strategic renewal helps in concentrating all the efforts in brainstorming and identification of solutions to challenges which may impact the change action plan. The organization and its employees are able to focus on finding different approaches which can be used to improve the experience resulting from the change process. This pushes change since the organization is able to avoid certain pitfalls which the organizations would have experienced. This aspect has been achieved by Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant whereby the organization.

District Manager of Five Dunkin’ Donut Franchises
Introduction
As the new District Manager, I intend to build and structure the foundation of workers for all the five Dunkin' Donuts establishments. My goal is to increase the fiscal profits for every unit to establish extra legacies to the company's brand. The paper analyzes the following categories of Dunkin' Donuts: job design including job analysis, job description and job specification, and organizational design. Workers job designs will be assessed with the use of a divisional structure for Bakers, Crewmembers, and managers. Inside of Dunkin' Donuts will be analyzed to decide the needs for recruiting and selecting applicants. Also, the essay discusses the training and performance appraisals for the value of significance to the franchise.
Job Design
Job design refers to the process of organizing duties and roles into a productive unit of work. The job design will include job analysis, job description and job specification. Job design occurs when managers decide the duties to be completed, the people who will do them and the selection approach to be adopted in choosing workers (Reilly, Minnick, & Baack, 2011). Below, I have used job analysis, job description, and job specification to discuss the job design of the five new establishments.
Job Analysis
The process of assigning tasks will be undertaken by the HR department and the departmental managers. I will be adapting the extermination model of job analysis. Every branch will have 5 to 8 workers per shift, with one being a manager, one may be a shift leader and the rest will include crewmembers and bakers. They will be in charge of food handling, housekeeping and sales. Each worker's qualification will include preparing donuts, coffee, frozen meals, and working on the cash register.
Job Description
For job descriptions, the current Dunkin' Donuts models will be appropriate for the Crewmembers, Bakers, and Management (https://www.peopleanswers.com/pa/testSplashPageEntry.do?splashURL=portalDunkinDonuts1&src=825452). Most roles at the organization are entry-level positions, which need filling customer orders through preparing drinks and baked food. Applicants will need to show their readiness to take directions and interact with the clients regularly.
Job Specification
Bakers, Crewmembers, and Shift Leaders – These are the entry-level spots that will need minimal requirements. Basic requirements include at least a High School Diploma (GED or equivalent), inclination to take direction and intermingle with clients, and interpersonal working capabilities. These roles are trainable on the job. The position of shift leader will be achievable by an existing baker or crewmember .

Part I: Research Questions
1. Should student athletes receive a stipend by the universities as reimbursement for participating in sports? Are there policies under the ISSF that guide on how best students should be compensated for their participation in different sports?
2. What challenges do coaches face in managing their respective teams? Is there an approved ISSF standard management structure that would allow coaches to participate and interact more with their players such that they are not only constrained to their managerial duties?
Part II: Research Topic
Problem Statement
Professional athletes earn large sums of money, though considered unethical; due to the fact that most of the times these athletes are students who are “exploited”. The estimated value rose through college athletics is considered to be roughly more than a billion dollars yearly, with this revenue being generated from an estimated 25 football schools and 64 basketball schools respectively (Brown & Williams, 2019). The concern raised is that the students do not get to see the money earned; but instead are offered athletic scholarships, allowing them to get free college education. The concerning factor is that most students use this opportunity as a chance to qualify for professional leagues, without considering the beneficial factors that their education offers. They are continuously to sacrifice their class and study hours such that they can practice and travel for their sports (Brown & Williams, 2019). Even though a scholarship seems like a good deal for some of these college athletes, what criteria is used to reward those athletes who are often viewed as celebrities and exploited for their affiliation with different institution to earn money for them?
Quite often, managers are faced with the dilemma of relating with their athletes mainly because they are absorbed in managerial duties that limit their interactions with their players. As a result, the element of teamwork is ignored and disregarded, leading to lack of communication, lack of trust, and continued conflict, which may affect the effectiveness of the team (Rollnick, Fader, Breckon, & Moyers, 2019). Sometimes the coaches aspect of caring is viewed as interference because there is no connection between the players and their coach, with coaches feeling left out of most decisions made by the players. This in mind, the study focuses on finding new strategies that can be applied by all coaches in every sport, such that the aspect of unity and communication is achieved, with coaches participating more in their respective projects.
Importance of the Study
Given the dynamic scope of this industry, it is important to do more research to understand the depth of the dilemma within the industry, with the use of previous and current research to provide insight on different pers.

Managerial Accounting
Accounting can be defined as the procedure of keeping monetary financial records. Accounting can be group as financial and managerial accounting. For businesses to be successful, they need to be having both managerial and financial accounting experts. Impeccable managerial and financial bookkeeping are important to the progress and constant survival of any corporate. Structurally, economically, and lawfully, bookkeeping is an essential section in any institute, and the necessity for an extremely skilled accounting squad is unconditionally crucial. Despite the similarities between financial and managerial accounting, there are also differences between them.
The managerial accounting works through measuring, analyzing and reporting monetary and non-monetary information that aids directors to make judgements to accomplish the objectives of an organization. Managerial accounting emphasizes on the internal broadcasting and is not regulated by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management accounting is known for its much efforts to focus on the future rather than paying much attention to what happened in the past (Kinicki & Fugate, 2016). This type of accounting is so influential to the performance of directors and other workers as opposed to principally reporting financial events. There are no principles which guide the operations of management accounting.
Management accounting permits executives to charge attention on owners’ principal to aid judge a division’s presentation, although this may not be allowed by generally accepted accounting principles. Managerial accounting comprises assets or liabilities which may not be recognized by generally accepted accounting principles and it makes use of asset or liability quantifying rules like present values or resale prices which is not acceptable under GAAP.
Financial accounting on the other hand emphasizes on commentary to exterior events like shareholders, government interventions, and banks. It evaluates and registers business dealings and provides fiscal reports that are grounded on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Financial bookkeeping is controlled by commonly accepted accounting principles (Weygandt, Kimmel & Kieso, 2015). Financial accounting comprises of sending monetary reports like income reports or balance sheets, to outside bodies like creditors, tax specialists, shareholders, and the Interior Revenue Service.
The managerial accounting positions out profit and loss accounts, job costing accounts, and operating resources, financial accounting conveys facts only for those on the external who want to decide the company's marketplace assessment. Managerial accounting emphases on issues and answers within an institute while financial accounting is worried with productivity from without. Managerial accountants make internal working reports, while financial accountants generat.

Question (a)
Categorical variables are useful in classifying data that usually takes only one form. An example where categorical variables can be used is when classifying the ages of different individual based on the gender of the participants. The use of n-1 variable in categorical variables makes the classification easier since variables take either of the quantitative provided. In these situations, the variables are limited to take either one or zero as the quantitative value to ease the classification process (Bühlmann & Dezeure, 2016). Classification based on n-1 variable tends to be faster and also saves time and does not have many problems. When a particular variable takes 1 is assumed to be quantitative but when it takes zero the assumption made is that the variable is absent. Categorical variables involving n variables, the n-1 variables are the only important variables since they classify the data given accordingly to the required quantitative values which I either 1 or 0.
Classification of information based on categorical valuables, the n variables tend to have problems. The n value can sometimes lead to problems that may end up prolonging the classification process and also make it difficult. The n variable has problem in resulting to multi-co linearity in classifying (Guo & Berkhahn, 2016). The problem results when there is similar interconnections between the variables this create a problem in interpreting the information. The interconnection of the n variables can result in the prediction of the other variable from the other. Another problem resulting in from categorical variables is that n variable is intuitively meaning that variables can be classified based on the interests or feelings of the research. Lastly, the n variables are redundant that is do not have updated information.
Question (b)
In statistics, logistic regressions are used in classification of variable that tend to have different forms either positive or negative values. Logistic regressions classify data consisting of dependent variables with and more than two or more independent variables. The classifications are based on pacing several variables at their different level of existence (van Smeden et al., 2016). Logistic regression predict the relationship of variables that can either take 1or 0 in the classification. Logistic regressions is concerned in giving descriptions to the data and give detailed information relationship between one independent variable and more nominal independent variables. For instance, logistic regression can be used in financial institutions to clarify financial defaulters. In classification of the data, logistic re.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss how motivation can improve outcomes in congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a chronic progressive condition that affects the pumping ability of the heart muscles. This paper will cover CHF as a practice problem, the role of evidence to in regard to CHF, and the role of the DNP practice scholar in the translation of evidence.
Addressing issues related to CHF management through education program is important in the improvement of self-management. Most of the reported readmission cases, morbidity, and mortality are associated with poor self-care and self-management of the diseases. The focus of most healthcare facilities when it comes to the management of the CHF is focused on an identified medication regimen, and little to no attention is given to the importance of patient education to improve self-management of CHF.
A study by Bader et al (2018) revealed that an advanced heart failure program helped in the improvement of disease awareness and self-care behaviors when the patients were led by well-trained heart failure nurses. Another study by Howie-Esquivel et al (2015) used the approach of TEACH-HF intervention to manage CHF patients. The study outcome revealed a significantly lower hospital re-admission rate and decrease in the length of stay.
DNP practice scholar play a key role in the translation of evidence. The DNP practice scholar is instrumental in the initiation of projects that focus on the standardized educational process for CHF patients. The initiation is done through the development of new education tools and clinician documentation of evidence-based heart failure care (Myslenski, 2018). Practice Problem and Question
Patient education is becoming an effective process of managing CHF at home. Patient education aids in the improvement of knowledge and self-care behaviors, thereby, reducing the incidence of readmissions cases (Bader, et al., 2018).
Heart failure is a common, high-risk condition that is characterized with high reports hospitalization and sometimes death. This disease affects more than 6.5 million Americans and in 2012 the CDC reported that it cost approximately 30.7 billion dollars to care for CHF patients and wages lost due to hospitalization. Unlike other cardiovascular illnesses, CHF appears to be the most common one and nearly 1 million new cases are being reported annually internationally. This, therefore, makes it the fastest growing cardiovascular disorder (Savarese & Lund, 2017).
This study is guided by the following Picot question: Does the multidisciplinary educational approach work effectively towards the prevention of hospital re-admission for patients diagnosed with congestive heart .

Malware-Trojan horse virus
Malware can be defined as any file or program that is introduced to a computer with the intention of harming the user. The harm to the user can be through interfering with his use of the compute, unauthorized access to his data, locking the user out of his computer and also spying on the user’s activity. There are several types of malware and they include ransom ware, Trojan horses, computer viruses, worms and spyware (White, Fisch & Pooch, 2017). For this particular assignment, I will focus on Trojan horse virus. The name Trojan horse comes from the famous Greek story, where Greek soldiers were able to take down the city of Troy after they sneaked into the city inside a wooden horse that was guised as a gift to the people of Troy. Just like the story the Trojan horse virus disguises itself as a legitimate program however the program provides unauthorized access into the system most of the time to hackers.
Most of the time, Trojan horses gain access to a secured system through social engineering. Most of the time, Trojan horse viruses are introduced into a system by duping a user into executing an attachment on an email guised to be unsuspicious. They can also be introduced via social media where users are tricked into clicking on fake advertisements or advertisements that offer fake rewards. Once the links or attachments are clicked on, a Trojan horse virus is introduced. Trojan horse viruses can allow an attacker to have access to a user’s personal information and other forms of data. Trojan horse viruses can affect other devices on the network through infection caused by the introduction of the first Trojan horse; most ransom ware is introduced through Trojan horse viruses (Wang, Lorch & Parno, 2016). In addition, through the use of Trojan horse viruses, attackers can modify data, copy data, block data, delete data and generally disrupt or distort the performance and operations of targeted computers or devices in a network.
Steps of mitigating a Trojan horse virus attack
The first step in mitigating a Trojan horse virus attack is the installation of effective anti-malware software or what is commonly referred to as an anti-virus. The anti-malware will detect as well as prevent any Trojan horse virus attack on a computer or a network. The second step in mitigating Trojan horse virus attacks is the installation of the latest available patches of the operating system in use. The third step is proper scanning of all external devices that are introduced to a computer or a network (Rader & Rahman, 2015). The fourth step is through the cautioning on the execution of any program th.

Los Angeles and New York budgetary comparison
The cities for comparison in this assignment are the city of New York and the city of Los Angeles. These two are major cities in the United States that have large population and play a crucial role both locally and internationally. The cities have major infrastructural, social, and economic burdens to bear. They also have huge finances to budget for the management of their cities. In the financial year 2017, the city of New York budgeted for an expenditure of $84 billion (The City of New York, 2017). Los Angeles has a budget of $9.2 billion (City of Los Angeles, 2017). The New York City budget is larger than some of the states in the USA. Both cities are required to ensure they have a balanced budget each year with clear information about the sources of the funds, use of the fund and ensure that the budgetary deficits are clearly financed in each year.
The city of Los Angeles budgets is prepared with several underlying principles that must adhered. The city has a reserve fund, which equals to 5% of the city’s general fund revenues. The capital improvements fund for the city is equal to 1% of the city’s general fund revenue. The city holds that all the funds from one-time sources must be used to finance the one-time expenditures. The city of New York has also established several reserves to take care of uncertainties in the city (City of Los Angeles, 2017). These reserves include the Retiree health benefit trust funds, a general reserve as well as a capital stabilization reserve fund for the city.
Sources of funds
The two cities have almost similar sources of funds for their budgets. These sources of funds, however, have differing contributions to the city’s finances. The table below presents the proportional sources of incomes to the cities.

In the two cities, the property taxes account for the largest source of incomes. In New York, the allocation and distribution from other government and government agencies is the second largest source of income. This is due to the international nature of the city, which hosts major national and international offices. The city of Los Angeles has large commercial enterprises within its jurisdiction that contributed large amount of incomes in form of licenses, fees, and permits compared to New York’s city income from license and fees amounting to only 8% of the overall incomes. The miscellaneous sources of finance include the transfers from the reserve transfers, the special funds .

Foreclosure is a scary word for homeowners, but it is
not all that common today (citation needed). Bortz (2017) reported that the foreclosure rate (meaning the percentage of loans in foreclosure) currently hovers just under 1%. During economic downturns, like the housing crisis of 2011, foreclosure rates rose as high as 3.6% in United State (Bortz, 2017).
Research question
The phenomenon as mentioned above and literature background lead to the overriding research question, “what are the lived experiences of management executives whose companies face foreclosure?” The subareas of exploration for this question are:
i. The manager’s self-care practices
ii. The manager’s relationship with immediate relatives
iii. The manager’s business practices
iv. The manager’s relationships with subordinates
Methodology
In order to investigate the lived experiences of management executives, a phenomenological qualitative method will be employed. The relationships and practices of managers facing company foreclosure are the core of this research. Creswell (2013) discussed that the purpose of a phenomenological qualitative method is to …….
Proposed population
1. The homogenous group for the study is former management executives strictly from the operations department. The selected executives will have a background of having undergone company foreclosure at least once in the past 20 years.
2. Participants will be solicited through enticing advertisements online for filling surveys to participate in a study interview.
3. The number of participants will be restricted to 16 executives aged 35 years or more. Their former positions will be limited to operations management.
Data collection
1. The type of data to be accrued will be unstructured and semi-structured interviews.
2. Participants will be asked to participate in at least two rounds of one-on-one interviews spanning anywhere from 50 to 60 minutes each. Interviews will be conducted in person, by phone, or through an internet source such as Zoom.
3.
Bracketing
I am especially interested in this research question because my research showed scarce primary literature about the impact of company foreclosure on the personal and professional lives of executives’ manager and their families. With many companies facing foreclosure around the globe every year, it is surprising that very little research has been conducted on how they affected the lives of the involved executives. I suspect I may find it useful to know the real potential consequences of organizational shutdown in case I become a manager in the future. Even though one works hoping for the best, preparing for the worst is also a very rational route for any organizational management model.

Major Concerns of Climate Change in China
Introduction
China is one of the critical countries in the world, which are considered to significantly contribute to the issue of climate change. Research indicates that China produces over 6.000 megatons of carbon dioxide every year. The increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is associated with increase in global warming, which perpetrates the climate change. To this end, China is regarded as the largest emitter of greenhouse gases across the globe based on absolute terms, contributing to about 22 percent of the total amount of emissions (Held, Nag & Roger, 2011). At the moment, the emissions of the greenhouse gases by China have exceeded the global per capita average, following the growth in the emissions by over 200 percent from 1990 to 2008. The concern of increased greenhouse gases emissions in China is largely associated with the countries appetite for economic growth. The historical growth of the Chinese economy has been tremendously effected through the use of fossil fuels as a major source of energy in industries. Despite the increased desire from the global community to mitigate the impacts of climate change, there is fear that the emission of greenhouse gases in the country may rise by between 55 and 75 by 2025 (Held, Nag & Roger, 2011). Therefore, it is important to discuss the different concerns presented by China regarding the issue of climate change that is tremendously perpetrated by increase in emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
Overview of the Issue of Climate Change in China
The Chinese government has established policies that are aimed at adopting effective governance of climate change, improved domestic capacity of effectively governing the energy use and emissions, as well as supporting the commitments that positively impact decline in future international emissions. China acknowledges the need to lower the emission of greenhouse gases as well as mitigating the impacts of climate change, which is a critical solution towards obtaining a healthier international environment (Lipin, 2016). As a matter of fact, numerous multinational negotiations have been advanced so as to develop a global climate regime that governs the efforts of reducing the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Being among the world’s largest polluters, China has received increase attention from the global community. The country, which has the highest population of over 1.3 billion, has been steadfastly reluctant to comply to the suggestions by international organizations such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (Held, Nag & Roger, 2011). These organizations have been engaged in pushing for .

INTRODUCTION
Amazon is one of the fastest growing online retailer company in the United States of America that has been able to overhaul its business structure by using innovative strategies in supply chain management. Amazon has left most of its competitors have a hard time trying to catch up. The firm has made huge investments in the management of its inventory to include recent forms of technology to beat its competition. The firm has optimized every link in its supply chain to ensure its customers are satisfied and well attended to (Leblanc, 2019). This paper hence seeks to discuss Amazons supply chain operation factors such as; transport and security, procurement and inventory management, technology and information management, and articulate some of the global risk factors affecting the firm. Comment by TJS: Paragraphs need to be left justified Comment by TJS: Great point here. Amazon is dominating the industry Comment by TJS: Anthropomorphisms should not be utilized. An anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics or behavior to a good, animal, or object.
TRANSPORTATION AND SECURITY
Transportation cost structures, modes, and distribution centers, inventory control systems, and inventory costs reduction strategies
Amazon initially launched a two-day delivery program for its customers to ensure that its customers had fast delivery of products but soon other competitors started catching on. Amazon hence had to make another adjustment in its freight services and now offers a two-hour delivery service to Amazon Prime customers. For product freight, Amazon has equally sub-contracted firms such as the United Parcel Service to transport its products to its customers. Amazon has been relying on third-party couriers to make their deliveries as they have a better-established delivery route and path that they can leverage for efficient delivery services (Leblanc, 2019). Comment by TJS: Yes. They set a new industry standard
However, due to the consideration of numerous factors involved in using third-party carriers for deliveries, Amazon has developed its privately-owned freight service. Amazon hence uses its privately-owned vehicles to carry products to its clients specifically for same-day deliveries. In recent times, Amazon has been developing cargo freight service in certain specific areas where the firm uses drones to carry items straight to their clients who are within a 10-mile radius from their warehouses. This has cut product deliveries to half an hour or less. Amazon is progressively incorporating newer technologies in its supply chain that systems can hence run without human supervision. This strategy has been articulated to be efficient so far as there are has been reduced inventory management costs over the last few years since the acquisition of Kiva Systems (Leblanc, 2.

Introduction
Evaluation of the program is usually done to in order to determine the quality of the program, how effective the program is and how the program is performing. This can help to know if the program is making a significant difference among the targeted people. It can also assist to know if the program is functioning or not. This paper therefore seeks to evaluate the program which is assisting the homeless people within the community.
The two program evaluation questions are: what is the reach of the program? And what has been the impact of the program on the homeless people? The answers to these questions would elicit both qualitative and quantitative results. Therefore, the program evaluation will require both quantitative and qualitative data collection plan. This is because the use of mixed-method approach is convenient since the results and findings would be reliable (Creswell, 2017). After identifying the evaluation program questions, the next step will be to come up with plan of evaluating a program. The plan should consist of methods of collecting data, evidences, the person responsible and the duration.

Literature Review
It is expected that every student enrolled in high school works hard towards the completion of their high school diploma. However, research indicates there was a 5.4% drop out among the minority groups, in which 6.4% of the overall status dropout rate is that of the male youth. Among the Africans, Hispanics, and American Indian Natives, the dropout rates among the boys are 8%, 10%, and 11.6%, respectively (Musu-Gillette, De Brey, McFarland, Hussar, Sonnenberg, & Wilkinson-Flicker, 2017). These dropouts often join continuation schools later in life with the hope that they will get an equivalent of their high school diploma. The theoretical framework of this research is based on the phenomenological approach, in which the aim is to examine the occurrence of school dropout among minority boys and their performance after joining continuation school.
One of the theories that explain why minority boys drop out of school is the Critical Race Theory. The model argues that education opportunities are often affected by an individual’s race and racism (Colbert, 2017). Based on this theory, minority groups are often faced with issues such as poverty and racial discrimination in schools, which causes some of the male students to drop out of school. Racism victims in school feel inferior to the whites and sometimes feel like they do not deserve a quality education, and they end up falling behind in school.
Cultural production theory, on the other hand, explains why the dropouts choose to go back to school. The theory holds that the education system helps to level out the playing field so that people get equal opportunities to make their lives. The approach provides an essential perspective as to why minority boys dropouts join continuation schools and complete their learning process.
According to Bania, Lydersen, and Kvernmo (2016), non-completion of high school mostly results from different problems, most of which are health-related. In research in which the authors carried out among the youths in the Arctic, they found out that dropout rates were higher among males. Additionally, minority males often drop out due to mental issues. Based on the article, education affects an individual’s employment opportunities and income, as well as the quality of life, which explains why the dropouts choose to join continuation schools later in life.
Hernandez and Ortez (2019) undertake research in which they analyze the experiences of some Latinas who are enrolled in continuation school. Based on the writers’ claims, continuation schools have put in place strategies that enable the students to cope and realize that they have an opportunity to succeed just like any other individual. Additionally, due to the improvement in the prospects for quality education presented to the marginalized groups, the article indicates that there are .

Living with chronic illnesses: How are those with a chronic illness treated by their families since their diagnosis?
Maura K. Little
University of West Florida
Abstract
This study aims to figure out what the relationship and meaning of the ways that a family treats a family member with a chronic mental or physical illness. The exploration of the way those with a chronic illness are treated since their diagnosis is important to understand the perceptions, behaviors, and communication that surrounds illness. Chronic mental illness will be analyzed against chronic physical illness to assess similarities and differences in family behaviors. Participants included individuals selected from local support groups based on their illness as well as family structure. An ethnographic study would be used to compare both the verbal and nonverbal relationship between the ill family member and the rest of the family.
Introduction
This study aimed to focus on both physical chronic illnesses and mental chronic illnesses and their effects on family communication, particularly surrounding the diagnosis of the illnesses.
Family has a large impact on the perceptions of illness. In recent times, the publicity around individuals with chronic illnesses, both mental and physical, has increased dramatically in the media. From the production of films about those with physical chronic illnesses to celebrity diagnosis of a mental illness, illness is something our society is beginning to talk about more frequently. However there are certain stigmas attached to these illnesses that make it harder for patients and their families to cope with their situation. Most often because of the portrayals of chronic illness that romanticize illnesses and do not necessarily show all of the effects of these illnesses on the patient or their family.
Both mental and physical chronic illnesses are much more complex than how they are portrayed in the media. These illnesses often produce copious amounts of side effects that bring a whole new level of challenges to the patient's struggle through their daily life and readjustment after diagnosis. One effect that is often not publicized as much as others is the relationships that exist between the patient and their family. These family relationships may change drastically with the diagnosis of and grappling with a chronic illness, changing how family members perceive one another, how they act, and even how they communicate. All of these things depend upon the nature of the family, and the illness and produce different changes. However, through all different types of families and illnesses, communication in situations like these is essential to understanding one another. According to Rosland (2009), several interviews and focus groups showed that family members lowered stress, and are central to patient success. In most instances, the family i.

Effect of Tobacco Use
Gideon Aryertey
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University
Introduction
Over decades, many individuals have been using tobacco without being aware of its harmful effects. For instance, in the U.S., the rate of cigarette smoking increased immensely in the early twentieth century. This was due to the invention of the cigarette rolling machine as well as an increase in the advertisement of tobacco products. As a result, cigarette smoking expanded regardless of the opposition of religious leaders or other members. Tobacco consumption reaches its peak especially between the ages of 20 to 40 in both females and males although statistically males consume more than females. Furthermore, the smoking rate amongst African-Americans (16.7%) are higher than the national average in comparison to Caucasians (16.6%). In fact, mixed race individuals and American Indian/Alaska Natives have higher smoking rates than African-Americans. As a result, this shows that there’s a big issue with the use of tobacco. Tobacco has led to many diseases such as lung cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke. It also leads to addiction. However, it is significant for one to overcome the addiction of tobacco use to improve their health status. Educating people about the harmful effect of tobacco consumption and making tobacco less affordable will correspond to a gradual decrease in its use.
Tobacco use has caused numerous deaths amongst individuals despite their socioeconomic backgrounds. For instance, approximately 30 percent of people who perish due to cancer in the United States; 80 percent of these deaths are caused by lung cancer. lung cancer is the main cause of cancer related deaths in the youth and adults. (Addicott, Sweitzer & McClernon, 2018). Lung cancer attacks both genders and the treatment process can be very complex. Consumers of tobacco are affected by this disease because it exterminates the cells responsible for fighting against the disease. Also, the use of tobacco affects the proper functioning of all the organs in the body. Other than lung cancer, tobacco consumption can also lead to mouth, esophagus, larynx, liver, kidney, bladder, cervix, pharynx, stomach, myeloid leukemia, pancreas and colon cancers (Ebbert, Elrashidi & Stead, 2015).
In fact, about 7300 nonsmokers die from lung disease every year according to the International Agency that is responsible for Research on Cancer (IARC) after being exposed to tobacco. Additionally, a 2009 survey that was conducted in China indicated that about 38 percent of smokers were aware that smoking contributes to attack of coronary heart disease while 27 percent were aware that it can lead to a stroke (Ambrose, et. al, 2017). However, individuals who smoke about five cigarettes a day showed signs of various diseases and damages to the blood vessels (Gilreath, et. al, 2016). In fact, blood vessels are thickened and then become narrow.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Running head H. R. 312 1 H.R. 312 The .docx
- 1. Running head: H. R. 312 1 H.R. 312 “The Mars Exploration Act” Kahlib J. Fischer February 11, 2015 PADM 550-B01 Dr. Kahlib Fischer H.R. 312 2 Defining the Problem Space exploration has been limited since the moon landing to space station visits and the
- 2. deployment of the Hubble telescope and satellites (2015). In 2012, President Obama signed into law H.R. 312, “The Mars Exploration Act” (2012). This bill provides funding for the development and deployment of: 1) the “rovers”; 2) deep space transportation for humans; and 3) laboratory and housing facilities on Mars (Robinson & Smith, 2012). May Biblical guidelines: Of course, the Bible says nothing about space exploration. Government is charged primarily with protecting the inalienable rights of its citizens (Fischer). HR 312 does not violate these rights. The Biblical notion of “sphere sovereignty” implies that there are other spheres of society, such as non-profits and industry, which might be considered as participants in space exploration (Monsma, 2008). In the past, space exploration has been linked to national defense, for fear that other nations would gain the upper-hand in space and use that advantage against American citizens (Neuhaus, 2012). Since government has a divine mandate to protect its citizens, space exploration might be supported.
- 3. Constitutional guidelines: The “common defense” portion of the preamble supports passage of this bill. Article 1 section 8 provides further points of support: the promotion of science and progress, the development of a sound military, and the regulation of commerce with foreign nations. Can Political Feasibility: Generally, the public favors further mars exploration and colonization (Smith, 2014). The passage of the bill was largely bi-partisan, but a significant Republican minority tried to block passage arguing that the funding was not present for the bill and that the H.R. 312 3 President was merely doing this to distract from criticism of his health care legislation and other scandals (Neuhaus, 2012). Since passage, some experts have argued that Mars colonization is not obtainable as NASA is currently constructed and has argued for either repeal of HR 312 or
- 4. significant modification (Richards, 2015). Financial feasibility: Total cost of the bill was estimated at $20.5 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office (“H.R. 312”). At the time of passage, Democrats and Republicans were grappling with the debt ceiling crisis (Barnes, 2011). Practical feasibility: The bill was set up to fund NASA efforts for Mars exploration over 20 years. The major challenge was the development of sufficiently fast and safe space travel for humans (Geyer, 2012). Rovers have been sent to Mars, so, in effect, Phase 1 has been achieved. Significant challenges exist for phases 2 and 3, however, as NASA grapples with developing the proper technology for long-term space exploration and colonization (Richards, 2015). Should HR 312 passes the May portion of the analysis, with the caveat that government should allow for business and non-profit participation. The Can portion of the analysis is more challenging, simply because of current levels of deficit spending in the federal government as well as the
- 5. technological challenges. Nevertheless, HR 312 represents a legitimate area for government involvement. Space exploration, if not simply for the sake of military defense, should continue and thus government must be involved. We are not able to choose ideal times for something as lofty and abstract as space exploration; yet it must remain a national priority. H.R. 312 4 References Barnes, A. (2011).

Be certain to emphasize a focused analysis of a particular issue chosen from the broader policy concentration for the assigned module/week. You must include citations from: 1. all of the required reading and presentations from the
- 8. assigned module/week 2. all relevant sources from Modules/Weeks 1–2 (especially the "Biblical Principles of Government" article), and 3. 3–5 outside sources. NOTE: These sources should be focused on the problem and the piece of legislation, and you may find that you need more than just 3-5 sources to adequately research and discuss these items. 4. Please feel free to use the following link for the purposes of additional research. Students often struggle with keeping the analysis needed for these policy briefs to just 2 pages of content at most (not counting the title page and references), and it can be hard to see past one's choice of wording to discover that there are indeed many ways to say the same thing with less words. Attached are "before and after" samples of the same policy brief; the first was too long and includes edits of how to shorten it, and the second shows the finished product at 2 pages. Review these before writing your first policy brief. NOTE: the sample briefs are not perfect in every respect in terms of following the "May-Can-Should" analysis. It is mean to show you how to be more concise in communicating ideas. Submit the appropriate assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of the assigned module/week.
