A. Debate the key lessons to be learned from this talk, in terms of strengths and opportunities.

(SORT -is an alternative approach to SWAT analysis)

B. Develop three (3) key strengths, and three (3) opportunities to successfully apply the lessons from McChrystal to Disaster Management.

In approximately 250 words, please respond to the following questions:

1. Are you concerned about your impact on the environment and how it contributes to global climate change?
2. Explain why/why not and provide examples of reasons for your level of concern.

Peer response 1

From some TV talking shows, I know about the global climates change. The shows produced many videos to show the results of global warming. Since I was young, I am concerned about my impact on the environment. From daily recycling, reuse items, bring my own utensils when dinning out to turn off/unplug the electronic, all I did/do is for thinking about the impact on the environment. From the reading of 3 degrees, the content is matching the one I saw in my home country. It seems like every country care about the same thing- global climate change. We can know the news about the fire of amazon. It is exactly related to the article of ” Between two and three degrees the Amazon rainforest, whose plants produce 10 per cent of the world’s photosynthesis and have no evolved resistance to fire, may turn to savannah, as drought and mega-fires first destroy the rainforest, turning trees back into carbon dioxide as they burn or rot and decompose.” I feel like it is happening!

I think my personal contribution is reducing the use of plastic. From the reading, I know plastics are made from fossil fuels like oil and natural gas, which release toxic emissions when extracted from the earth. These gas will leak during production, which causes even worse greenhouse effects than carbon dioxide. Industrialization causes massive amounts of disposable plastics began flowing into their economies—water bottles, bags, to-go containers and utensils—items that earmark a consumer culture. I am trying hard to use these things less to protect the environment. I know Starbucks start to use a better cap for drinking instead using straws. I know a lot of states prohibit using plastic bags for shopping. We can see a lot of big brands and governments are aware of it and starting to change their policy to help the global climate change. All I did is just very little for the earth. But once it is done by every body, it will contribute a lot for the earth.

In your initial post, reflect on a public safety administrator within your community. Then discuss some of the skills you have learned in previous courses that are necessary to be successful in that identified position.

Some examples include public safety administrators within law enforcement, corrections, probation, or parole.

Read and respond to at least two of your peers’ posts. Do you agree or disagree with their skill assessments? Why or why not? What other skills will you need for the position you have identified?

Refer to the Discussion Rubric for directions on completing these discussions

1. Understand the design documentation phase
2. Document several cloud services needed for this project
3. Create a flow chart of the course lab application
4. Implement a historical change grid at the top of the document
5. Submit the module use-case document to the course Dropbox for grading

The project design phase begins with opening the discussions into more details about the project requirements. The details can cover the user interface look and feel to how each of the controls will be used and what type of permissions are applied to each user control. During this phase, it is critical for the system/network administrators and database admins to step in and contribute to these discussions. The design of these system components are important and they will have a direct effect on the performance of the product or service.

1. In this objective imagine that you are a system/network engineer and document some of the common cloud services to implement a software application product built in-house as an enterprise product that must supports 100 simultaneous users. Make sure to document why you need the cloud service for this type of enterprise solution and then document the benefits of using the cloud service for each component that you recommended.
2. In this step design and build a new flow-chart of current course lab application. You will be far enough into the course lab that you will be able to build a flow-chart from it. Use whatever tools are at your disposal from Microsoft Paint to Visio or hand draw a design and take a picture of it with your phone. Flow charts give the reader a visual understanding of the project design and the user responds to different scenarios while using the product.
3. At the top of this document, implement historical changes grid so all readers know when a section in the use case was changed, and by whom. The historical change section should be easy to understand why a change to the document occurred, with informative details such as name, change description, date of change, and version. In a way, this is used for document control, there are other ways to manage document changes but they do not keep track of the history of each change, sometimes this is a manual process.

When we become ill, our bodies set out to restore our health with a variety of mechanisms to return us back to normal. This is the essence of homeostasis.

Describe Scleritis. Discuss homeostasis and explain in 150-200 words what harm the disease process is doing. Make sure to describe the stages of the disease and the reaction of the body to that particular stage to maintain homeostasis. For example the stages in the flu: Infection, Fever, Sweating, Getting better. The reaction of the body is different during these stages.

Don’t forget three references.
