Day: July 24, 2019

In preparation for this discussion, review the video Nevada Continuity of Operations Overview (Links to an external site.). This video will lay the groundwork for the planning process addressed in the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide.

 

The Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 (Links to an external site.) states “When threatened by any hazard, citizens expect elected or appointed leaders to take immediate action to help them resolve the problem. Citizens expect the government to marshal its resources, channel the efforts of the whole community—including voluntary organizations and the private sector—and, if necessary, solicit assistance from outside the jurisdiction.” Explain why the emergency planning process is thought to be more important than the emergency plan itself. In your explanation, address why it is important that organizations and jurisdictions adopt a continuous planning process. In addition, describe at least one reason why there might be resistance within organizations to plan for a disaster?

 

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.

1. Two approaches to the problem of protecting personal information are (a) the free market view and (b) the consumer protection view. How do these points of view differ on the issue of a company disclosing personal information about its customers? How do they differ on the issue of errors in the data about an individual that is distributed by a credit bureau?

 

2. What impact would COPA have had on freedom of speech on the Internet? Why was COPA overturned by the courts?

 

3.  Do you consider the Internet an appropriate tool for young children? Why or why not?

IF YOU NEED TO KNOW MORE INFO ON HTML!

HTML

HTML is the language of websites. Webpages appear to be clear-cut, easy to read documents, but they come in all shapes and sizes. How do you tell a webpage where an image goes? How do you tell it to make a table and put it somewhere? Well, you need a special code for it, and that code is called HTML.

 

HTML takes a regular text document and use little codes, called “tags,” to paint a webpage on your screen. If you just write a website in plain text, it will show up as plain text, with no background, no bolding or italicizing, no images and no fancy fonts. Tags tell your browser to do all these things to the page and the text.

 

A simple tag looks like this:

 

< strong >Hi guys!< /strong >
This results in:
Hi guys!

 

All tags are enclosed in little angle brackets, “< ” and ” >”. Anything inside “< ” and ” >” is read as a code, so it’s not displayed. That means that anything you put inside the brackets won’t show up on the webpage – instead, it will tell the webpage to do something.

 

The “< strong >” tag tells the browser to start painting something. The “< /strong >” tag tells it to stop. If you don’t tell it to stop, it’ll just keep doing it to the end of the document – so, as a rule, always tell it to stop. Different tags have different effects. In this case, the < strong > tag makes the text bold. Most tags are an abbreviation of their effect, so < strong > is for bold, < em > is for italic, and < u > is for underline. There’s a full list below, so I won’t go into excessive detail. You can also combine tags like this:

 

< strong >< em >< u >Bold, italic and underlined all at once!< /u >< /em >< /strong >
Bold, italic and underlined all at once!

 

When should I use HTML?

For this article, the simple answer is to accommodate a client’s request. Many articles written for the service will need to be tailored to the Web, so clients will often ask you to format the article a particular way and include some HTML code to make it look nice and meet their needs.

 

 

Please don’t include HTML when not requested to do so. Many orders aren’t going directly on the web! HTML isn’t really used outside of the Web, so the client will need to trim out your codes or request a revision, and you’ll have wasted a bunch of time adding things that didn’t need to be there in the first place.

Assignment Details

 

In Unit 1, you explored the value of research in public safety, with an emphasis on how failure to adhere to the scientific method can introduce results that undermine public safety. In this discussion, you will continue examining research by finding examples of qualitative and quantitative research used in public safety. You will need to find 1 example of qualitative research and 1 example of quantitative research, each of which led to changes in practice.

 

The specific steps are as follows:

 

1. Engage in independent research finding 1 example of qualitative research and 1 example of quantitative research used in public safety agencies.
2. Write a 3-paragraph post introducing this research to your classmates.
3. Engage in a discussion with your classmates on how this research specifically led to changes in practice, and consider how their selected research could be altered or where it could be replicated in other areas. 

Assignment Details

 

Domestic terrorism is framed by its lack of a foreign nexus. Additionally, there is a long history of domestic terrorism within the United States. Domestic terrorist organizations have arisen within a broader political context. The emergence of hate crimes has obscured the nuances between these two categories.

 

In 5–6 paragraphs, address the following: 

 

• Why do you think domestic terrorists exist in society? Explain. 
• Do you think various triggers drive them to extremism, or are they slowly conditioned throughout their lives? Explain. 
• What reasons might domestic terrorists have for planning and executing their acts of violence? Explain.
• In your own words, describe the difference between domestic terrorism and hate crimes.

 

Post a new topic to the Discussion Board that contains your responses to the above questions. Provide a substantive comment to at least 2 other students’ posts.

TOPIC: investigation into the perception of project management teams when selecting a project management methodology in small and medium entreprises (SMES)
i submit the proposal and i got some comments from the lecturer
introduction comments
Perhaps state the issues with teams to really show there is a need for this research
. State what issues arise within project teams and provide statistical evidence and then state what is critical to the success of teams
. to set the scene here, you are on the right lines but more evidence of what a successful team is and what an unsuccessful team is too and then provide statistical evidence to show the outcome of poor teams and what constitutes poor team performance etc., I am assuming your dissertation is about how to address these issues identified in the literature?
. better connection here. Are you saying that the methodology used does actually impact on teams? Are you looking at the impact of different methodologies/techniques on team effectiveness? If so, how will this be measured?
. Are you concentrating on specific methodologies only? Are you only looking at particular sectors? Are you looking at a specific country? Are you only concentrating on particular size of projects? You must be very clear in your writing
. What you are looking at is, given the methodologies, what issues arise with teams and what can be done to improve this. Again be clear about what is being measured here?
the following are the resaerch question that i made:
– Do project management team in SMEs believe that they are using the right project management method?
-How confident are the project management teams in SMEs when there are using a project management method for their project?
– Do project management team seek for advice before adapting any project management tools in SMEs?
– Are the project management methods used in SMEs always appropriate for the project accomplishment?
– Do they believe that the methods used are beneficial for SMEs project success?
-Is being conscious or not about the positive consequences of these methods used can impact SMEs project activities?

converning the specific objectives:

Describe team structures within different methodologies
Investigate the impact of methodologies on teams
