(Covered the first short story)

The Dew Breaker contains a collection of nine different but interconnected stories. The first entry, the book of the dead, the narrator is a young woman called Ka who is from Haiti but lives in New York. She is forced to travel to Florida with her father on a mission of selling a sculpture to a popular Haitian television personality called Gabrielle Fonteneau. She wakes up and learns that her father is missing together with the sculptor, after she spent the night at a hotel room. She talks to the police who question her. Her father reappears finally as the sun sets in the horizon but he does not have the sculpture.

He instead he transports Ka to a lake where he throws the sculpture into the water, something that annoys her daughter who could not get the reason why he did this. He tells her daughter that he did that because he felt that he was not worth being immortalized as art. He then tells her that the stories she heard about him being imprisoned are all not true but he was in fact employed to torture and kill those who were prisoners, but she asks her to believe that she is regretful of his actions. When they return to the hotel, she calls her mother demanding an explanation of how she was able to live with her father. Her mother responds by saying that he changed upon meeting her, meaning she saved his life. They meet for lunch with Gabrielle the next day and her father lies about his Haitian home so as not to be identified. That experienced seems as one of the hardest emotional turmoil as she tries to understand what she learnt

Hottentot Venus by Barbara Chase-Ribound book review

The novel Hottentot Venus by Barbara Chase-Ribound is an incredible book that has won several critical praises though its ability of bringing to light hidden truths. Racism and sexism in the hearts of the European imperialism cannot be well discussed without paying attention to the physical difference of ordinary persons. The author uses a real female to discusses his arguments and build his themes. Sarah Baartman the novel’s protagonist was born in South Africa in the year 1789 and at the age of twenty she was taken to London by an English surgeon who had promised to assist her become famous. Instead she was forced to parade naked before a rude British crowd for an exhibition. She faced cruelty and torture which even resulted to detaining by British abolitionists. After a short period Baartman find herself in the midst of another humiliating event when she is sold to a French circus in 1814 by her keeper who was also supposedly her husband. After her sale she was moved to Paris to participate in an exotic animal circus. It is at this point she is also forced to assist in a sideshow sensation and she becomes known as “Hottentot Venus”. According to the story, medical experts and top scientists felt that her prominent buttocks were a perfect example of the primitive evolution. In this saga that ranges from Capetown, London to Paris and back to Africa the author condemns the certain aspects of evocation since they act as icons of scientific racism, brutality, ugliness, exploitation and sexism.

The book is opened by a brief explanation of how the name Hottentot Venus came to be. The name came from the Portuguese after they discovered KhoeKhoe nation located in South African eastern coast. The Portuguese found the Dutch community in this nation and nicknamed then “the Hottento” which means stutterer in Dutch because they felt language consisted of so many unrelated sounds. The book further continues to the first chapter which begins which Sarah birthday which was on January 1816. It at this same day that it is disclosed that Sarah is suffering a serious fever and chest problem. Though her illness seems serious she still has to continue looking strong under the leadership to the white. Later chapters then begin to portray the various unfair treatment and discriminations that Sarah is facing in the hands of white leadership. Even though Sarah is ill and lost both of her parents in the hands of the white or the British rule, she still has to face many more challenges. She is sold to a white master by her aunt who at the time acted as her guardian and is nick named Saartjie. She is also betrayed by her supposedly husband by selling her to the Heinrich. The author uses several life situations though his protagonist Sarah to show how race and sexism is wide spread and common cause of many problems today.

In making an overall review of Hemings work in this book we can strongly say that the themes of racism and sexism are widely discussed. The author uses a real character specifically a female middle aged woman Sarah who is later referred to as Saartjie to show how these two themes are wide spread in almost all societies. Sarah is seen to move from one society to the other and facing related problems. Back in her home she is forced to undergo certain strict traditions just because she is a woman and had to get married. In her family house her aunt constantly looks as a source of wealth just because she is female and thus supposed to act as a source of wealth. The author goes further to portray that there are differences in how racism and sexism is practiced by using slavery and blue collar jobs practiced in developed areas such as London and Paris. But in all cases the end results of these acts are similar since they are end up abusing human rights, affects personal extreme and besides degrades the value of human life.

However, the author can improve on this great literature book to a credible academic reference when discussing these two themes; racism and sexism by focusing on a specific line of racism. For instance, the author can select scientific racism which includes illiteracy in education and technology or focus on feminism. The benefit of this recommendation is to ensure the author researchers and provides more important and accurate data on the narrow topic.

Introduction

Low-rise residents are the most form of houses that are in need of heightened innovation so as to ensure privacy, simplify access, create harmonious form of relationship and maximize grade relationship. Creating a place where legitimate users and residents are in a position to go about their daily routine without any fear or insecurity is one of the major elements of this assignment. Moreover, the use of the existing urban areas will be required in the future where large, medium, and small centers enjoy good transport, services and jobs (Stephenson, 2011).

Good design for low-rise housing has to focus on the increasing density at the same time without conceding the comfort of the existing residents. However, this design has to contribute confidently to the character of the locality while offering high-value public domain. Good house designs should not need expensive construction materials and techniques but offer creativity to produce well-designed houses that are smaller, more suitable and have lower running coast. Good low-rise housing designs of infill residential projects are important to promote community acceptance and understanding of the issue of higher densities present in the suburban regions.

A major factor in housing cost is the provision of parking space. Notably, about 30% of apartment structures are for below-ground car parking (Stephenson, 2011). However, there is a possibility to lower the cost of building a house by reducing car parking especially if the site for the house is close to public transport means. The site areas used for access driveways and garaging can be reduced. This will leave more land that can be used as a private open place, residential amenity or for tree planting.

In the past decades, low-rise house development in Conventry, UK has mainly focused on space in order to achieve good amenity. However, design creativity is now required at both high and medium densities. More detailed ideas are needed concerning the relationship between buildings and their neighbors and the streetscapes. The details should also provide information on vegetation benefits at each location and how to maximize the landscaping.

The increase in the density of housing that exists in the suburbs is a problem that needs a solution. The issue of density is sometimes a cause of distress within a given community. The house design present in this paper reveals the fact that medium-density housing does not require to be achieved through the process of high-rise development. The organization of this housing design has to consider the following factors;

Building mass and height

The height and mass of this design should be put into thought so as to ensure compatibility with some of the planned and existing developments present in the community (Fletcher, 2012). A building may be similar to its neighbor while some others may vary, requiring skillful design so as to ensure appropriate integration with the city fabric. However, low-rise houses are frequently sandwiched between high-density and low-density areas. With the careful organization of height and mass, low-rise houses can serve as a screening device for transition between fluctuating neighborhood scales.

Siting

In the areas that have desirable and established character and streetscape, the placing of a new building should enhance and respect that condition. Matching grades and setbacks can help new buildings blend in while at the same time reducing any neighbor negative impact (Fletcher, 2012). For the areas that have less desirable character and streetscape, for instance, large surface parking lots, reverse frontages, encourage new development so as to establish new design standards and improve the character.

Connectivity

Connectivity refers to features such as pathways, buildings, natural areas, and open spaces that are found in the new development. This design should integrate with the existing environment. As such, the guidelines for connectivity will deal with developing a positive relationship between the existing context and the new development (Joyce, 2005). The design should also focus on improving the linkages between built areas and within.

Generally, the existing networks include pedestrian pathways, natural features, streets and open spaces. Enhanced pedestrian connectivity makes walking more convenient and pleasant, as well as encourages alternate transit manners to vehicular. Through a city-wide perspective, linking natural features and open spaces through a site can render a system of green corridors for environmental and recreational benefits.

House construction

The design of the house will include the ground floor and the first floor. The house will be located facing north. It will consist of a rear garden. The plot size for the house is 30 meters south to north and 12 meters west to east. He house will be a three bedroom house. It will have two bathrooms and a half bath. The living area of the house will be 1,775 sq.ft. The garage bay will accommodate two cars at a time. The design gives a bonus space which will be used as a garden for the house.

Ground floor

The design for the ground floor considers the following;

Situation of the insulation within the floor structure.

Applied floor loading

Minimizing air leakage, thermal bridging and preventing air condensation.

The ground floor of the house will include insulation below the concrete slab. This will ensure that there is increased thermal capacity for the house, maintaining steady internal temperature (Rumbarger, Vitullo and Ramsey, 2003). All the materials will be compressed under the load. The insulation material for the house, which will be under the slab, will be in a position to accommodate the applied loads with minimum compression. The location of the insulation on the floor influences the thermal characteristics that the floor brings to the house. Additionally, it has relevance when it comes the active loads that apply during the use of the floor.

The point load will be spread by the layers that are above the insulation so that the load, which is acting on the insulation is lower than the load applied to the surface of the floor. The ion of the load is a function of the depth of the layer that is above the insulation. Thus, a point load applied to the floor where the insulation is placed below a thin screed will lead to a higher applied load on the insulation.

There will be a 150mm that will be between the upper region of the floor and the exterior ground level. The dpm will be lapped with vcl/dpc .On the exterior part of the ground-floor wall, the brickwork cladding will be set out from sheathing face so as to ensure correct cavity with. This can be illustrated by Figure 2 of the ground floor slab.

First floor

First floor will be made up of depth beams or trimmers which will be fabricated by bolting or nailing joints together. For the engineered timber joints, manufacture’s guidelines have to be followed. In any case, the long or the large loads need support; beams, that have greater depth, will be required. Otherwise, beams and trimmers can be of steel flitch or hardwood beams.

Walls

The walls of the house will be made from timber. In order to attain better thermal performance from the timber wall structure of the house, there will be an increase in the depth of the studs to more than 150mm so as to permit more insulation. Additionally, the design does allow the use of studs that are more than 200mm deep. For insulation purposes, the walls will use cellulose or fiber.

Ventilation of the house

The house will be made of the ground and first floor. Therefore, it will require proper ventilation for the circulation of air in and outside the house. On the ground floor, the house will have a total number of eight windows. Each room will have one window except for the rumpus room which will have the entrance door. The stairs of the house will be located on the lower right side of the house in the living room. First floor will have five windows that will ensure proper ventilation of the house. The kitchen of the house will be located on the ground floor of the house.

The kitchen of the house will have counters. The kitchen shall also have a food storage room. The house will use the pitch roof type. On the roof, there will be a total of three roof windows which will ensure that there is proper flow of air in and out of the roof region.

(Sample) Curve-Fitting Project – Linear Model: Men’s 400 Meter Dash Submitted by Suzanne Sands

(LR-1) Purpose: To analyze the winning times for the Olympic Men’s 400 Meter Dash using a linear model

Data: The winning times were retrieved from http://www.databaseolympics.com/sport/sportevent.htm?sp=ATH&enum=130The winning times were gathered for the most recent 16 Summer Olympics, post-WWII. (More data was available, back to 1896.)

DATA:

Summer Olympics:Men’s 400 Meter DashWinning Times

Year Time (seconds)

1948 46.20

1952 45.90

1956 46.70

1960 44.90

1964 45.10

1968 43.80

1972 44.66

1976 44.26

1980 44.60

1984 44.27

1988 43.87

1992 43.50

1996 43.49

2000 43.84

2004 44.00

2008 43.75

(LR-2) SCATTERPLOT:

As one would expect, the winning times generally show a downward trend, as stronger competition and training methods result in faster speeds. The trend is somewhat linear.

(LR-3)

Line of Best Fit (Regression Line)

y = 0.0431x + 129.84 where x = Year and y = Winning Time (in seconds)

(LR-4) The slope is 0.0431 and is negative since the winning times are generally decreasing.

The slope indicates that in general, the winning time decreases by 0.0431 second a year, and so the winning time decreases at an average rate of 4(0.0431) = 0.1724 second each 4-year Olympic interval.

(LR-5) Values of r2 and r:

r2 = 0.6991

We know that the slope of the regression line is negative so the correlation coefficient r must be negative.

r=-0.6991=-0.84

Recall that r = 1 corresponds to perfect negative correlation, and so r = 0.84 indicates moderately strong negative correlation (relatively close to -1 but not very strong).

(LR-6) Prediction: For the 2012 Summer Olympics, substitute x = 2012 to get y = 0.0431(2012) + 129.84 43.1 seconds.

The regression line predicts a winning time of 43.1 seconds for the Men’s 400 Meter Dash in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

(LR-7) Narrative:

The data consisted of the winning times for the men’s 400m event in the Summer Olympics, for 1948 through 2008. The data exhibit a moderately strong downward linear trend, looking overall at the 60 year period.

The regression line predicts a winning time of 43.1 seconds for the 2012 Summer Olympics, which would be nearly 0.4 second less than the existing Olympic record of 43.49 seconds, quite a feat!

Will the regression line’s prediction be accurate? In the last two decades, there appears to be more of a cyclical (up and down) trend. Could winning times continue to drop at the same average rate? Extensive searches for talented potential athletes and improved full-time training methods can lead to decreased winning times, but ultimately, there will be a physical limit for humans.

Note that there were some unusual data points of 46.7 seconds in 1956 and 43.80 in 1968, which are far above and far below the regression line.

If we restrict ourselves to looking just at the most recent winning times, beyond 1968, for Olympic winning times in 1972 and beyond (10 winning times), we have the following scatterplot and regression line.

Using the most recent ten winning times, our regression line is y = 0.025x + 93.834.

When x = 2012, the prediction is y = 0.025(2012) + 93.834 43.5 seconds. This line predicts a winning time of 43.5 seconds for 2012 and that would indicate an excellent time close to the existing record of 43.49 seconds, but not dramatically below it.

Note too that for r2 = 0.5351 and for the negatively sloping line, the correlation coefficient is r=-0.5351=-0.73, not as strong as when we considered the time period going back to 1948. The most recent set of 10 winning times do not visually exhibit as strong a linear trend as the set of 16 winning times dating back to 1948.

CONCLUSION:

I have examined two linear models, using different subsets of the Olympic winning times for the men’s 400 meter dash and both have moderately strong negative correlation coefficients. One model uses data extending back to 1948 and predicts a winning time of 43.1 seconds for the 2012 Olympics, and the other model uses data from the most recent 10 Olympic games and predicts 43.5 seconds. My guess is that 43.5 will be closer to the actual winning time. We will see what happens later this summer!

UPDATE: When the race was run in August, 2012, the winning time was 43.94 seconds.

Famine, Affluence, and Morality by Peter Singer

Peter Singer, in his writing, “Famine, Affluence and Morality,” presents an argument that individuals have the capability to change the world around them for the better instead of accepting fate. According to the reading, many developed nations like the United States should be willing and prepared to participate in activities that promote prevention or elimination of calamities, famine, or disasters all over the universe. Peter Singer believes that this can be achieved when the U.S., like many developed countries, realizes a clarion demand for moral duty upon them to do so. From Peter Singer’s reading concerning this social problem, he aims to understand concerning famine, affluence, and morality.

Peter Singer’s strongest principle is: “If it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally, to do it.” All the way through his writing, Singer presents his perception that we have similar ethical responsibilities to those far away as we do those close to us. He claims that deciding not to send lifesaving cash to starving individuals on the other side of the universe is the moral equivalent of neglecting to save drowning kids because we choose not to muddy our shoes. If we can provide assistance, we must, and any excuse given is hypocrisy. His extreme stand on our ethical responsibilities to others is a powerful call to arms and continues to challenge individual’s attitudes towards poverty. Peter Singer uses an analogy of our duty to save a drowning child in order to assert that it is within our capabilities to prevent something bad from occurring, devoid of sacrificing anything of comparable moral significance, we have to do so (Singer, 829). Singer applies his conclusion to our obligations to prevent suffering, from either absolute poverty or famine, concluding that ‘there is some absolute poverty we can prevent without sacrificing anything of comparable moral significance [therefore] we ought to prevent some absolute poverty (Singer, 829).

The writing of Peter Singer presents a stark moral challenge to the traditional concepts of philanthropical giving. In his writing, he commences with a clear assumption to argue the deep conclusion that ‘we have to give money away and it is wrong not to do so’ (Singer, 830). This reading pursues to examine if we ought to accept this assumption by assessing whether objections to the FRA can be ethically justified. He presents two versions of the premise: the strong version, as above, claims we should avert suffering devoid of sacrificing anything of similar ethical importance (Singer, 831), while the weak version claims we should do so, provided that we do not sacrifice ‘something morally significant’ (Singer, 831). The reading approaches this particularly from a humanitarian context where Peter Singer argues that affluent people are morally bound to contribute much more finances to the humanitarian cause than is considered in Western societies. He challenges people to question the common insight that physical distance and the means of using cash reduces our moral duties to help others.

Hospital Electronic Media Records Implementation

Completeness and Relevance for Learning Assessment

Apparently, the main objective of the integration of technological applications to solve user needs, such as handling institutional records through the application of information systems, is improvement of efficiency, accuracy and precision (Chaudhry, Wang and Wu, 2006). An EMR within the hospital setting touches on the actual integrity of the medical profession in terms of how health procedures dependent on patient data proceed. It is expected that the information system proposed by the proposed EMR model must pass the fundamental criteria of efficiency, accuracy and precision improvement when compared to the manual system. Alternatively, the implementation plan must fit in the expected standard that takes care of smooth technological integration, institutional organizational compatibility, transition management, flexibility, knowledge, and software solution.

Assessing the status of the application of the EMR at Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital for its relevance in terms of learning outcomes, there are several missing items for a standard model. On one hand, the time used to put together the EMR design is just six months which could implicate the rest of the system implementation. On the other hand, internal expertise was entirely applied in the completion which poses questions on the competitiveness of the final product. It could have taken a better direction if an assessment was conducted to reveal cost benefit analysis position interrogating outsourcing alternatives. In this respect, only EMR software is reported to have involved a vendor from outside the hospital, with unclear role and connection o the set team. Internal design issues however may have prompted the use of internal resources and expertise to the advantage of the institution. Relevance and completeness can therefore be assessed on the generation of resources and competence applied amid successes elsewhere in the generation of the best possible product.

Implementation Weaknesses

Apparently, the most talked about constraint in any information system such as EMR involves financial inadequacy by the implementing institution. Once the funding obstacle is overcome at some level however, the most potent challenge is usually the integration into the existing system as well as the acceptability with which the human resource adopts the new system (Blumenthal and Glaser, 2007). At Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital, the system challenge of implementation and possible resistance of the sudden change is not highlighted. Whereas approval or rejection may not necessarily be a measure of openly aired views as sought by the institution during discussion forums, evidence of a deeper approach to facilitate actual delivery of expected response is not availed. Alternatively, a systematic rolling out of the implementation is usually required in such systems which are apparently not present in the detail of actual implementation.

Generally, phases of implementation assist the management to cater for system failures during the transition and such cautionary element is lacking in the approach taken at Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital. The access of the information on the established EMR potentially seemed risky in terms of unauthorized access where it was alleged that unauthorized access could compromise the privacy of the patients on the database. However, the improvement of the site can be approached from the security of the system, which would dispel any fears of intrusion. The safety of the system is paramount to the performance of the entire EMR adopted and available technologies deal with the issue of intrusion pretty well. It therefore follows that if the final product which the team came up with was not able to cater for the security of private information, it needed an overhaul that would raise the confidence levels.

Inhibition of Assessment

In terms of assessment of the product after the implementation phase was kicked off, there are specific and inherent challenges that Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital must have anticipated. The initial challenge expected in the assessment of the EMR progress touches on the determination of the success of integration during the transition period from the old to the new system that embraces information system. During the interim period, success may not be guaranteed and system failures are generally supposed to be expected. Whereas failure should not be a positive aspect in any project, the anticipation and the responses launched thereon may determine the success of assessment for the entire implementation of the new system (Cusack, McGowan and Poon, 2008). The authors recommend formative assessment which may not necessarily reflect positive results in the interim, rather the process effectiveness.

Inhibition of such a smooth transition in the implementation is largely expected to be in form of the attitude and preparedness that all employees cultivate in case of failures. It is usually advisable to facilitate a program that takes care of such failure such as gradual introduction of the system through phased implementation. Contingency allowance in such a system is equally important in the implementation just as it is in the incorporation of all needs of the EMR. Apparently, the management of the implementation aspect is supposed to be cautiously handled as it can result in a crisis where the old and the new systems are not working at all and the institution is caught up in the mess. It may be important to expect that old system rejection of change particularly with the employees may hinder a smooth implementation. Alternatively, assessment of the implementation may face similar resistance from the old system resulting to false results. To cater for such resistance inhibiting a smooth implementation, staffing reorganization might be implemented (Miller, 2009).

Adapting the EMR (additions, subtractions, emphasis)

According to Miller (2009), the new system proposed for EMR implementation is expected to face some laxity of employee embrace attitude, face challenges of organizational structure and routines as well as slow integration into the system. The EMR product for Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital must be approached on the perspective that takes care of the internal needs of the hospital with special treatment to the missing links for a successful implementation. In the optimization element for design and its implementation, it would have been advisable for the Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital EMR technical team to ensure the addition of; outsourcing of experienced personnel in order to reduce risks of failure, a detailed structure of phases of the implementation program, specific staff reorganization plan to handle risks of rejection and possible failure and distinct reviews for the separate implementation phases.

The assumption that the IT team composing the technical team was competent enough would have been abandoned and a review past experiences with design and implementation of EMR systems used to guide in new project staffing needs. In terms of subtractions to be effected in the implementation of the program at the Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital, the entire implementation program would be wiped off and replaced with one responsive to the proposed additions and implementation program. Emphasis would need to be focused on the expertise in the initial design where the best possible experience in such programs will be sought. To back up the expertise element, it will equally be important for a thorough analysis of the current internal system and base the design and the implementation program on the findings of the analysis.

Roles of Hospital Officials in EMR Implementation

The implementation program must bring on board the top most leadership of the Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital in order to rally behind the best possible response from all the employees.

i) CEO (Chief Executive Officer)

It is the mandate of the CEO to ensure that the management and the entire institution back the proposal to have a new system based on EMR. Whereas this might be more meaningful in the beginning than at any other point in the implementation, constant assurance of the support of all the management levels may favor a successful implementation than when there is no assurance at all. The CEO must at all time follow up the progress of the EMR processing to show the seriousness with which the institution holds the project. Provision of resources to the program is the responsibility of the CEO with the relevant authority in charge of resource allocation.

ii) CIO (Chief Information Officer)

In terms of technical assistance concerning the internal information needs, the CIO must be an integral player in the determination of the progress of implementation. The role of the CIO in the determination of the team composed to handle issues of the EMR is important since technical matters of the task ahead must pass through the office. Constitution of the relevant team and rallying resources needed in the implementation may require the assistance and input of the CIO as the best official understanding the process. Other roles during routine implementation and reviews for the CIO may include; system configuration, access authorization, usage monitoring and advising the institution on the necessary system changes (Miller. 2009).

iii) Nursing Administrator

Integration of the system into the medical aspects of the institutional service delivery must have word and advice of the nursing administrator. Implications on the health of patients upon the reliance on the system must be handled by the nursing administrator.

Fred and Larry are determined to increase on their sales, flexibility, and the stability of their profits in the wine business. They want to maximize on exposure and ensure that they have as many people as possible visit their stores. They are also determined to ensure that they retain their customers and ensure that they come back to their store often. They are determined to ensure that they establish and are able to sustain a positive flow of cash within their first six months of their grand opening. Their medium range goals call for an establishment of a flow of cash from their operation, an all year round support from the local clientele to ensure they sustain the cash flow and the beginning of referrals from one customer to another due to the customers’ satisfaction they aim at.

They project their first, second and third year sales to be: $1000000, $1500000, and $2000000 respectively. They intend to increase their annual sales of between five to ten percent. By the time the business reaches its fifth year, they want to sell it at a profit of more than $1000000 or they might choose to continue growing their business and having fun with it. To do so, they have to come up with a short, medium, and long-range marketing and promotion plan. This is to ensure that they create awareness to their targeted customers and to attract as many of them as possible in their business to ensure that they increase on their sales and profits.

Background information

Fred and Larry Butts are scheduled to celebrate the grand opening of their new wine and specialty store in four months. After a year of choosing the best location for their new venture and completing their business plan and market research, they purchased a property in the lakes region of New York. They built their business structure of 7200 square foot retail showroom with a below ground wine and storage area for their inventory of similar dimensions with the showroom. Their retail room is elegant and eye-catching with wood floors, beautiful windows with bright succo walls with a large collection of various works of arts. The building is situated on a busy road with plenty room for parking and future expansions of the building if need be. Their market research reveals an even division of individuals in the upper middle class with a second seasonal home in the area and an all year round of retired individuals. Another population of white-collar individuals in the banking and insurance sectors and another in blue-collar individuals in the industry sectors are also in the area. The population in the region hits double between memorial and labor days due to the numerous summer cottages and camping grounds in the area. Tourism sector is the main industry in the area followed closely by manufacturing sector. The area has little direct competition with the wine and related products’ markets growing steadily. The only available wine in the area is in local convenience stores and supermarkets thus resulting into the need for them to tap into the wine market. They have to make several important decisions before their grand opening.

Issues/challenges

The main issues facing them are how they will be in a position to tap the wide market that is available in the area. How will they come up with the best marketing and promotion plan to ensure that they tap into the available market to increase on their sales?

Caliber of analysis

The area they are venturing in is faced with very little competition with the only wine available sold in local convenient stores and in supermarkets. Considering that they want to ensure that they attract and retain as many customers as possible, they have to come up with the best marketing and promotion strategies. First, the areas main industry is the tourism sector due to the availability of various camping grounds and cottages. In fact, between memorial and labor days, the population in the area hits over 100000. Thus, such is the period when their business can really thrive. They have to create awareness to such individuals about their availability to prevent them from buying their wine in supermarkets and convenient stores.

Considering that the customers’ preferences is the key to ensuring their satisfaction. It is important for them to get the required feedback from customers to ensure that they get the best wines for them in stock. This is because most individuals enjoy a great taste and quality of wine at affordable prices. Since their main aim is increment of sales, profits and their business stability, a good short term, medium and long-term marketing and promotion plan is important. To do so, they have to conduct have their customers feedback to realize their preferences.

Recommendations

The main aim of Fred and Larry is to ensure that they attract many customers to increase on their sales and overall profits. The first thing they ought to do is conduct a survey to their potential customers to determine their preferences in wine. With such information, they will be in a position to stock the best available wines preferred by their customers at considerable prices. They must keep in mind that cheaper wines sell fast but at a smaller profit while wines that are more expensive sell slowly with a larger profit margin. They must be very considerate to the image of their showroom since an attractive image will attract more customers. They must also consider the services they render to their customers since customer service is a key to enhancing customer satisfaction.

Thus, they should employ caterers with a high experience in customer service. They must also ensure that their designs layout is well established and set to maximize on their sales and increase on their profits. It also ensures that they maximize on the buying experience of their customers, minimize on shoplifting and liability, and maximize on the overall safety of the building. Their outdoor presentations must also be made as attractive as possible since it will be their selling point to passersby. To create awareness of their business, they should market and promote their products adequately. They should consider advertising their business on mass media including television and newspapers to ensure that more people learn about their business (Lamb, Hair, & McDaniel, 2012). They should also conduct door-to-door promotions in the surrounding areas ensuring that they have a small amount of wine that they give to potential customers for them to taste.

By so doing, they are able to make their potential customers have a hint of their taste of wine and make them yearn for more. They should also ensure that they offer a small discount on their wines to ensure that more customers buy from them. To do so, they have to strike a deal with their distributor to ensure that they do not suffer from losses considering that theirs business is still at the formation stages. They should also consider creating an online program where they can promote their products and services and possibly ensure that their target consumers can make online orders. With improved technology, online business can really thrive creating a platform for such consumers to event give their feedback to the house of wine thus enabling them to improve based on the given feedback.

Basis of recommendation

Since the house of wine is aimed at increasing their sales, profits and ensuring the flexibility and stability of their business, it is important for them to establish a convenient marketing and promotion plan to ensure that they achieve their long and short-term goals of the organization. The best pricing strategy is the penetration pricing. The wine house can set a low price on their wine business to increase on their sales and target market. Once they have captured the market share, then they can progress to increase their price. This is considering that they are establishing a new business in the region. If they set their prices higher than those in local convenient stores and supermarkets, their targeted customers might continue purchasing their wines in those stores and reject their offers on selected wine prices. In addition, ensuring that they make have an online setting of their business could enable them attract more customers even from outside their targeted region. They can envision enlarging their borders to diversify their business in other areas in future.

Hospital Nursing

Question 1

Nurses aids normally take care of the patients by bathing them, feeding them and toilet them. Every day the nursing staff ensures that they get the patients up and take them to the dining room. The nursing staff usually works alone because they have little or no assistance available. Despite the fact that the limit to nursing staff is 16 nurses’ aide, just about 13 perform direct care. The nursing staff, therefore, is often loaded with heavy duties and rarely completes their cores. Nursing entrepreneurs are the true change agents in nursing (Sullivan, 1999). Entrepreneurs have the virtue of persistence in work and they capture enthusiasm, imaginations and creativity necessary to adapt to new ventures. When nursing becomes a business, it means the nurses practice on a freelance basis and are self-employed. Nursing practice can be done in research, clinical or education as a business. For any healthcare business success, it must have quality services; it must be cost efficient and easily accessible.

Question 2

Nurse’s scope of study and practice is based on specific experiences, professionalism, educational qualifications. These subjects determine the level of autonomy practice. Strategies for enhancing are based on the provision of support for accelerating the professionalism in nursing and a clear expectation for the nursing decision.

Clarification of the expectation on the autonomy

When nurses clearly communicate and organize their work then they can enhance autonomy. This means they will have the freedom to decide on the clinical judgment. For a nurse to describe expected behavior, he has to understand the clinical patient and the art and science of nursing. This may involve, support of independent decision-making and expectation of the nursing action. The nurse’s decision involves interdependent and independent actions. Incorporating the expertise in nursing facilitates autonomous practice into the care of patients. For instance, the organization of patients care units to be judged by nurses based on the recommendation of the treatment plan. If nurses were given an opportunity to make their judgment in the clinical rounds, then this would maximize the contribution of their unique understanding of the care of patients. Investing in the nurse input means the care of patients will be improved, more solutions will be explored, communication improved to supplement the plans.

If autonomous practice is recognized, then this can enhance communicated expectations. Suppose you if you acknowledge excellent performance, you will provide a venue for displaying autonomous practice. Role modeling, rewarding and recognizing exemplary performance by nurses encourages the autonomous actions. Nurse leaders and specialists should also be involved in behaviors reflective of autonomy. They can also serve as role models and mentoring excellence in performance. A sample of coaching autonomy may include addressing an unexpected behavior. For example, coachers can compare the expected action and the actual action of nurses and illustrate how to make expected autonomy more explicit. There can always be feed back if nurses do not meet their expectations. In recent studies, it has been confirmed that favorable environment will facilitate excellent autonomy.

Enhance competitive practice.

A competitive nursing expertise will establish a sound clinical judgment. Nursing expertise constitutes skill, knowledge and extensive experience (Jasper, 1994). Autonomy can be foster by creating a learning environment and implementing strategies to enhance competence. If confidence and competence are enhanced, then autonomy will be fostered. In meetings, clinicians can share patient scenarios that can that challenged them. By doing this, they get feedback and advice on how to tackle such complicated patient scenarios. Nurses should be encouraged to participate in continuous examinations to reflect the degree of autonomy that they present in their judgment. Enhancement of autonomy can also be through establishment of an evidence based practice approach.

Strategies that enhance Control over the practice of nursing

Nurses, being employees, must work within the imposed regulations and rules of hospitals. This has profound effect in the work they practice. If nurses sincerely wanted to exercise their practice, they must posses the power to make decisions based on their profession.

Decision-making requires practice

Authorities in power have often dictated Participationory and empowerment management ( HYPERLINK “http://www.nursingworld.org/MainMenuCategories/ANAMarketplace/ANAPeriodicals/OJIN/TableofContents/Vol152010/No1Jan2010/Enhancing-Autonomy-and-Control-and-Practice.html” l “Wolf” Wolf, Triolo, & Ponte, 2008). Representatives in an organization are known and all nurses are expected to put some input. Staff nurses are responsible and accountable for solutions and issues discussed in the structure.

The accountability and responsibility of nurses for nurses cannot be stressed adequately. CONP structure is one in which the responsibility for nursing care of patients is placed with staff nurses. This is where many shared governments get awry. In such situations, although a hospital structure is established and nurses are permitted to provide input into key decisions, the ultimate authority for the decision-making continues to reside with managers and administrators.

Question 3

Growth of Knowledge

The growth of knowledge in nursing is centered in creation of a culture and systems whereby nurses collaborate with other healthcare professionals, increasing nursing education and supporting nurses in practicing to the extent of their training and education. In a report, Steven Wartman, the chief executive officer of the Association of Academic Health Centre, said that the future of nursing recommendations is “not surprising”. In that boardroom, Wartman’s speech brought a wider perspective to the discussion. For example, it is advisable to increase the percentage of baccalaureate degree to 80 percent in the next 10 years. In the United States, only 50 percent of nurses meet this target. Wartman suggests that while it is important to increase nurses’ education, it has always been considered as a fractured career. The fracture is known to take place between baccalaureate and the two-year programs.

One of the issues in the report is the consensus model about certification and education requirements. “The nursing organizations have signed to it” Haller, the vice president of Patient care and Nursing services. The report also suggested doubling the number of nurses with doctorate degree by in the next 10 years.

Fulfilling individual Potential

If the nurses can fully utilize their knowledge in the profession, then increased education would be useful. However, nurses usually confront the institutional policies and government regulations that prevent them from performing to the best of the ability.

The laws that are for or against practice of advanced nursing to examine patients independently, prescribe drugs, and interpret lab tests vary from state to state. How then can we move to a national framework?

In the near future, the need for implementation of consistent practice of advanced nursing laws will be higher. Hill mentioned that they would need qualified professionals to lead in that sector.

Not everyone is with the agreement that advanced practice nurses should take the role of primary care providers. The Dean of the School of medicine, Edward Miller, said that if the reports recommendation were taken to the ultimate level, the nurses would practice independently.

Working with Our ColleaguesThese are changes that penetrate across various disciplines and affect the entire healthcare team. They need an enormous amount of collaboration, communication, and respect. Wartman pointed out challenge. “Healthcare professions should practice within guided the framework, and this mentality prohibits the kind of changes that we’d like to see take place. Perhaps there are Hopkins’s steps that can be taken within the environment to reduce that.” 

According to Hill, Hopkins is well on the path. “The guild is gone in research. It has become very collegial, very collaborative. I think faculty move that way because they understand that’s going to be the best science,” she said. 

The question involves moving that interdisciplinary environment from the research lab and to the classroom and hospital. What would be the major obstacle? “We have schools for medicine, nursing and public health with three calendars,” Hill said. Planning joint classes, interdisciplinary lectures, and or student organizations while on various schedules “presents a huge problem and that is what challenges us.”Jim Yager, PhD, said, “I think we are comfortable working together between the schools of nursing public and health,” Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the Bloomberg School of Public Health added “Perhaps we could share

Recommendations

Scope-of-practice obstacles should be removed.

Highly accomplished practice registered nurses ought to capable of practicing to the full degree of their learning and schooling. To attain this objective, the following actions are proposed. The congress must expand the Medicare course to take in coverage of the services of highly accomplished practice registered nurse, which are inside the range of practice under appropriate state decree, just like the way physician services are presently covered. The congress should adjust the Medicare plan to sanction highly accomplished practice registered nurses to carry out admission evaluations, in addition to, official recognition of residence Health Care Services (HCS) patients and for admittance to hospital and trained nursing facilities. There should be expansion of chances for nurses to direct and circulate collaborative development endeavors. Private as well as public funders, health care associations, nursing education courses, and nursing organizations should increase chances for nurses to direct and deal with collaborative endeavors with general practitioners and the extra associates of the health care panel to carry out research and to revamp and develop practice surroundings as well as health systems. These units should as well provide opportunities chances. The Center for Medicare along with Medicaid Innovation ought to sustain the growth and valuation of payment models and care delivery, which utilizes nurses in an extended and leadership capability to develop health results and decrease costs. Performance measures are supposed to be expanded and executed speedily where top practices are apparent to mirror the nurses’ contributions as well as guarantee better-quality care.

Execution of Nurse Citizenship Programs

Nursing State boards, certifying entities, the federal administration, as well as health care associations must implement methods to support nurses’ achievement of a transition-to-practice course (nurse citizenship). This is after their completion of a pre licensure or highly accomplished and superior practice degree course in the event they are changing into new medical practice areas. The following deed ought to be taken to execute and support nurse citizenship courses: Nursing State boards, in partnership with certifying bodies, for instance, the Joint Commission ought to support nurses’ attainment of a citizenship program subsequent to their completion of a pre licensure or highly accomplished practice degree course or in the events of changing into new medical practice areas.

Increasing the Nurses’ Percentage having a Baccalaureate Degree

Academic nurse directors across all nursing institutions should work jointly to boost the percentage of nurses having a baccalaureate degree. This figure should be improved from 50 to above 80 percent by the year 2020. These directors should collaborate with education certifying bodies, private along with public funders, as well as employers to guarantee funding, check growth, and amplify the diversity of scholars to produce a personnel set to meet the stipulations of various populations across the existence of people.

Doubling the Figure of Nurses Who Have Attained a Doctorate by the Year 2020

Nursing Schools, with the support of private along with civic funders, educational officers with university trustees, and certifying bodies, are supposed to double the nurses having a doctorate degree by the year 2020. This is for the intention of adding to the nurse staff cadre and investigators, with concentration to heightening diversity.

Ensuring that Nurses Participate in Lifelong Learning

Certifying institutions, nursing institutions, health care associations, and long-lasting proficiency educators from manifold health professions are supposed to work together to guarantee that nurses as well as nursing scholars and faculty carry on their edification and participate in lifelong learning for the reason of gaining the knowledge required to give care for varied peoples across the existence of people.

Exemplar of a Nursing Leader

This paper reviews Jamie Ellis who is a RN Category I Personnel Nurse in 8 South.

Have you ever found yourself wishing there were just a few more hours left in the day? Maybe to exercise, read a book or even just unwind from an emotional day at

work? It seems there is barely enough time to do what you have to do,

never mind what you want to do. This may sound familiar if you are a

nurse. Assessments, vital signs, emesis and tears seem to take up the

majority of a nurse’s day. In the eyes of a nurse practicing in pediatric

cardiology, the reality is that life is not always fair. Every day children

are born with various congenital anomalies who deserve a chance at

life. In collaboration with a team of experts, nurses absolutely make

differences in the lives of children and families less fortunate. From

atrial or ventricular septal defects to transposition or hypoplastic left

heart syndrome, nurses have a responsibility to advocate for quality of

life. We educate, facilitate and promote healthy living. No other

profession requires such trust and unselfishness. Every nurse carries

a story or memory of a child that emotionally, spiritually and

professionally has affected their own life.

How 9/11 Changed Homeland Security

This refers to the date of a major terror attack on the United States of America, which caused total damage to the World Trade Center’s towers, other critical buildings, as well as a portion of the Pentagon building. The attack was closely linked with one of the terror groups led by the late Osama Bin Laden. The attack occurred on the eleventh day of September in the year 2001 (Cornwell). The essay aims to examine the incident, and strongly suggests that certainly, the attack resulted in significant changes to the Homeland Security approach in the country.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is an agency in the U.S. It is supported by the Federal government, the private sector, as well as citizens, and duly established with the core goal of eliminating terrorism, minimizing the country’s vulnerability to the vice. In addition it also attempts to lower damages as a result of terrorism, and possibly assist the Americans recover from any attacks which may certainly happen in the country. In line with this, the agency controls threats that may affect America’s stability as well as cushion the citizens from the effects of such attacks (Bellavita).

The 9/11 attacks changed many aspects of the American’s lives. In fact, while some changes were temporary others have remained permanent. The Homeland security was indeed changed in a number of ways. As above highlighted, the main function of the agency was to prevent Americans from attacks by terrorists. The agency merged with other government agencies responsible for the maintenance of America’s security. After the attacks, the DHS was established by President George W. Bush in the year 2002. In the same year, other agencies and more specifically, twenty two agencies were merged into one department. However, a number of agencies that had similar mandates to those of the DHS were not combined. These included; the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency. The establishment of the DHS portrayed one of the largest reshaping of the executive arm of the Federal government. Several appointments were made including that of Ridge who was the head of Homeland Security in 2001 but two years later, was appointed the first secretary of DHS. All the merged agencies were later transferred to the Homeland’s new department in the month of March 2003. Up to date, DHS is one of the chief executive departments in the Federal government (Chertoff).

Furthermore, homeland security has really been transformed since the attacks eleven years ago. Before the attacks, the security agencies kept most of its top secrets within the agency. However, this is no more and to date, the DHS shares information among the several Federal agencies. It is strongly believed that if this was implemented earlier on before the incident, then the 9/11 attack could have been stopped.

In addition, the DHS has amplified its security surveillance at the country’s entry points including the airports. In line with this, immigration is currently being closely manned using the latest technology. Homeland security continues to change over the years in an effort to protect the domestic population in the U.S (Abraham).

In conclusion, it would be just to suggest that certainly, the Department of Homeland Security has undergone a transformation over the years since the attacks eleven years ago. Such changes have helped the agency to beef up security levels in the U.S thus eradicating direct terror attacks and thereby protecting the citizens against the effects of terrorism.

Introduction

Hospital waiting time is, no doubt portrayed as a national scourge in UAE. Absence of inpatient couches is viewed as a key reason. From the earliest starting point, UAE’s social insurance framework has been viewed as one of the best on the planet, yet we confront the test of diminishing waiting times in health care, subsequently influencing the medical services workforce. Some now are inclining at the private part of human services, suspecting that this is the answer for waiting time issues. Private healthcare services just worsens the issue, and stances more expenses upon the social insurance systems and additionally the health awareness workforce. In the event that there is now a lack of specialists and medical attendants in general society wellbeing segment, by all methods where do they think they’ll get social insurance laborers to supply for those in the private part? “The confirmation is clear – private revenue driven forethought is less reasonable, all the more excessive and represents a more serious danger to patients than not-revenue driven consideration” (Horwitz, Green & Bradley, 2010).

Issues with decreasing waiting time issues in medical services inside the emergency care influences the overall population furthermore focuses on the social insurance experts, directors and strategy creators. The individuals who look for restorative consideration in the emergency care are additionally at high hazard for it may take hours before they are seen.Bed and Patient Transfers

United Arab Emirates clinics are arriving at their most extreme limit in their emergency cares and also assets, hence creating the exchange of patients to an alternate clinic. Absence of bunk accessibility has made a long process among patient exchanges. Inside this process, the dread of patient bleakness additionally represents an issue. A study was made on the purposes behind patient exchange, 83.4% were limit related, and the staying 36.6% were exchanged for forte administrations. Among those moved because of absence of accessibility, were psychiatric and therapeutic related (Horwitz, Green & Bradley, 2010). Once touched base at the first healthcare facility the patient must experience a multi-step process. Initially is the appraisal in the healthcare office, after then the choice on whether to concede the patient, third was the flight time, fourth was the landing of the patient to the exchange doctor’s facility and last the entry to the assigned ward. Amid the steps of leaving the beginning clinic and touching base to the following, was viewed as a time of “transport danger” (Horwitz, Green & Bradley, 2010). The purpose behind this was because of the way that 8.1% of the patients exchanged were on pharmaceutical and had a missed a measurement amid the average hold up time of pre-transport in the emergency care of 6.7 hours. At the end of the day among those were patients obliging psychiatric and therapeutic consideration. The most exceedingly bad fear of all was the issue of the measure of time it obliged patient exchange and its connection to expanding mortality. Miao et al,. (2010) study found that out of the 272 limit transport patients, two had passed on inside 8 hours once being admitted to the doctor’s facility (p. 26). In synopsis, strength and limit transports do have a higher danger of missing medication measurements in which return can build their shot of mortality.

The Doctor Shortage in UAE

In the 1980s the Federal and Provincial administration of UAE executed certain arrangements to help eliminate the doctor surplus. They eliminate the quantity of worldwide restorative graduate students entering UAE and additionally the quantity of passages into United Arab Emirates therapeutic schools. Tragically, accordingly we have come into a doctor lack in UAE. Despite the fact that there are likewise other helping variables in respect to why this is so. For one thing, in the early 1990s there was a gathering of doctor and wellbeing authorities who resigned, leaving UAE short in almost all claims to fame this is a component the elected and common administration of UAE did not consider when actualizing these arrangements. Likewise is the significant issue of doctor migration to the United States. Upon graduation, numerous United Arab Emirates doctors move to the United States in look for of higher pay, and lower charges. Somewhere around 1990 and 2004, UAE had a yearly net loss of United Arab Emirates-instructed doctors. As per Miao et al,. (2010) this was a stunning proportional to having normal estimated United Arab Emirates medical schools devoted to creating doctors for the United States” (p. 10). To help allay the deficiency, worldwide therapeutic graduates have helped 5.1% (Miao et al,. 2010). Numerous United Arab Emirates students finish their residency in UAE proceed with their work abroad and don’t return, however without precedent for 2004, the normal of the individuals who returned was higher than the individuals who had moved someplace else. To verify the deficiency of doctors in UAE does not extend the legislature of UAE and approach producers are considering executing new strategies in which debilitate to keep the graduates in UAE.

Case Study

It was until the 9th of September that one of the well-known hospitals in the UAE, Corniche Hospital was not able to accommodate more expectant mothers to give birth. For more than 12 hours this women had to wait for bed space in order to give birth, but were later dismissed later in the day. The CEO of the hospital Mrs. Linda Clark noted that the hospital has been operating beyond its expectations that needed placing pressure to staff hence differ the quality of medical services. It is clear that due to this pressure the waiting time was hire hence the organization opted to dismiss the women. She state that after their care to the patients all over that time, it lead to delay for the patients, both in getting appointment as well as clinics (http://www.thenational.ae/uae/health/abu-dhabi-maternity-hospital-has-no-room-for-more-mothers). Conclusion

Considering the different elements that helped long waiting time issues in the healthcare one thing is clear, that it is conceivable to accomplish an insignificant hold up time. As expressed prior, just seven percent of patients admitted to the healthcare center are viewed as wrong referrals. With new conventions and reconciliations of attendant experts in the emergency care I have confidence that this can help treat minor cases all the more effectively. The same strives for provincial groups, if the same measure of United Arab Emirates therapeutic graduate students had to the extent that as rehearsing in country ranges as they do in the United States, it is sure that the specialist lack will be assuaged (Horwitz, Green & Bradley, 2010).
