Xacc/280 Week 3 Assignment

The Legislative Branch has the job of creating bills, which are later given back and forth to the House of Representatives and the Senate, then hopefully to the president to become a law. When I studied bills that were in session by representatives, I found that most of the bills created never became laws. This happens often because community representatives and senators have difficulties agreeing on bills. I also noticed that Representatives were not frequent at creating bills based on the issues they cover. For instance, the Representative for the 63133 District of Missouri, Lacy Clay, sponsored the H.R.3683 bill, which was only introduced and was last altered November 20, 2015. The H.R.3683 focuses on getting programs that exemplify the

I had all of the diagnosis. The only thing that I did not have was increasing the medication from 10mg to 20mg. I just decided to go up to 15mg. AAP guidelines state that all criterial of DSM-IV are met and all other causes are ruled out. Information should be collected from parents, teachers and possibly other mental health professionals. If the patient has multiple teachers, then at least 2 teachers should fill out paper work. Evaluation should include possible coexisting conditions. These conditions include anxiety, depressive disorders, tics, and sleep disturbances. This is a chronic condition and patients should receive behavior therapy with medication administration (Hauk, 2013). I would ask about any sleep issues. He could be suffering from insomnia.

When my family and I decided to move to the United States, I began a process of adaptation to a new culture and language. However, this process of adaptation helped me develop a sensitivity to cultural differences and the values of individuals from different cultures. I arrived to this country in July 12, 2012, and I was excited to continue studying Psychology. However, I needed to be fluent in English and wait a year to become a Florida resident before I could begin studying. I considered this period of my life to be frustrating, as I wanted to learn about Psychology. I thought this represented an obstacle or a waste of time that was preventing me from continuing studying, however, I had to see it as an opportunity to really learn the language, and learn to be persistent if I wanted to achieve my goal of becoming a counselor.

The amount of money that I spent on discretionary expenses was eye opening. I did not really realize the amount of money that was being spent on food and drinks every day that could be saved by bringing a lunch or just buying the drinks in bulk and bringing them from home. While I was looking on the spreadsheet before totaling the amounts I was not expecting the costs to add up so fast. By completing this assignment, it has caused me to realize the amount of money I could be saving in my bank account or saving for purchases that will make a difference in my life.

In my current position, as a Registered Respiratory Therapist, I work for a large pulmonary office where my main focus is to take care of patient’s needs by teaching them about their pulmonary disease and helping them improve their breathing. One way that we achieve this goal is by enrolling them in Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Our hypothesis is that through education and exercise; patients improve daily routines, feel better about themselves and function more independently. The null hypothesis would be that Pulmonary Rehabilitation does not help patients improve daily routines, feel better or function more independently. The alternative hypothesis is that Pulmonary Rehabilitation will improve daily routines, help the patients to feel better, and function more independently.

After reviewing the discussion of genre in Chapter 8 of Film: From Watching to Seeing, demonstrate your understanding of one selected genre using a feature-length film.

I would need help especially on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 2:30 to 9:30 p.m. If she is able to help out on Monday and Friday, I would appreciate any time in the afternoon hours. Please let me know if any these hours work because I’m working on the schedule now for that

As a retail manager, we had numerous projects that had to be completed. We had weekly floor sets that had to be executed weekly. Having a given time frame with and so much to do, I scheduled adequate store coverage so that I could work undisturbed on completing my project. With written directions and even pictures of demonstrations I easily executed and even excelled in the floor sets. I got them done in a timely fashion, with minimal clutter and the store still running smoothly.

After completing CareerLeader, I am surprised that in my interest besides influencing others my next highest interest, quantitative analysis, was in the 44th percentile. I did not think that my next highest interest would be so low compared to my first interest which was in the 91st percentile. I was also surprised how low most of my skills scored. I only had one key skill and I thought more would score higher. I was not surprised about what my top two career matches, law and finances in a corporate setting, because that’s what I think I want to do. I would like to either be a sports agent or work with a sports team with their finances. I also was not surprised about what my top interest was given my career match. I also was not surprised with my top two motivators, security and positing, because my dad always told me to be secured in my finances and because I have also learned better by watching someone do what is needed to be done. Overall I was not that surprised with the overall results because they were what I expected them to state.

Before diving directly into the article from the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) titled Governments to Report Liabilities Connected with Their Obligations to Clean Up Pollution (2006), one must first take a step back and take time to read, comprehend, and take to heart exactly what this organization stands for. Taken directly from their main web page under the tab labeled Education, the first thing seen in big, bold, blue letters is, “Due Process: The GASB Is Listening” followed by a definition of what listening means, “to hear with thoughtful attention”. When researching a little more into the GASB, it is easy to see how crucial listening truly is for them in order to fully accomplish their

I had an intuition that the managers and leaders would score higher than other employees. Three leaders were assessed within our department and their scoring ranged from 99-112. There was an outlier score of 115 from an executive assistant and wondered if they really felt the way they answered or wanted to score better? However, after I thought about it, she is an executive assistant to the Chief Medical Officer who is now an Executive Vice President so she may have a very knowledgeable understanding of our strategic mission. Four employees scored 67-91, who are lower level status employees. According to ISO (n.d.) organizations need to encourage and involve employees because they are a critical to producing and providing value. I believe

In 1994, the New York City Police Department adopted a law enforcement crime fighting strategy known as COMPSTAT (COMPuter STATistics). COMPSTAT uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map the locations of where crimes occur, identify “ hotspots”, and map problem areas. COMPSTAT has amassed a wealth of historical crime data. Mathematicians have designed and developed algorithms that run against the historical data to predict future crimes for police departments. This is known as predictive policing. Predictive policing has led to a drop in burglaries, automobile thefts, and other crimes in some cities.

Sonja is seriously injured in an auto accident. After six months, she is still unable to return to work. She has no income from her job, and the insurance premium payments are financially burdensome. In this case Sonja has an ordinary life insurance with the waiver-of-premium attached so after six months all premiums would be waived if Sonja is totally disabled. Under some policies, a retroactive refund of the premium paid during the first six months would be paid. (Rejda, George, McNamara, 2014).
