They must keep up with daily activities of their staff as well as the clients each staff member is working with. The manager is responsible for making sure that their staff is doing their jobs to the best of their ability and whenever an issue arises the manager must decide the best way to handle that situation. Sometimes the outcome is not what the manager wants to do but it is the best recourse for all involved. It is the responsibility of the manager to make sure their staff is properly trained and is kept up to date with all new training available to them. The manager must then make sure that they are using their knowledge to the best of their ability and if something is not being done correctly it is their job to find out why and make sure necessary changes are made.

...1. The four techniques for analyzing the costs and benefits of a proposed system are: -Break-even analysis -Payback analysis -Cash-flow analysis -Present value analysis Break-even analysis is to be used if the project needs to be justified in terms of cost, not benefits, or if benefits do not substantially improve with the proposed system (Kendall and Kendall, 2014 Pg. 69). It’s useful when a business is growing and volume is a key variable in costs (Kendall and Kendall 2014, Pg. 67). A particular strength of the break-even analysis is being able to measure the benefits at different levels of production but then it assumes that all benefits are the same at all levels of output. Payback is used to determine the amount of time it will take to cover the cost of an investment. One can decide to undertake the project or not with this analysis but it does not measure profitability. Cash-flow analysis is used when the project is expensive relative to the size of the organization or when the business would be significantly affected by a large drain on funds (Kendall and Kendall , 2014 Pg. 69). It can help you know the size of the cash-flow and if that can help fulfil the proposed system. If the new system does not bring about any revenue cash-flow analysis cannot be used, cash outlays is much preferred. Finally, Present value analysis is used the payback period is long or when the cost of borrowing money is high (Kendall and Kendall, 2014 Pg. 69). It helps a system analyst present...

...the government plays an important role by designing an appropriate health care system for its citizens. In this paper, a comparison between the health care system in the U.S. and Canada has been made. Using various literary sources, the comparison has been done considering the four components of health care services delivery; financing, insurance, delivery, and payment. The findings indicate that the health care system in the U.S. is expensive but more efficient than the single-payer health care system in Canada. The findings have further been analyzed to ascertain its implications on the U.S. citizens, as well as the Canadians. The paper concludes that the health care system in the U.S. does not favor the middle-class earners, and thus recommends an improved system. Table of Contents Abstract 2 Table of Contents 3 1.

The provision of health care services is costly and thus the government is involved in health care provision. Because sickness is not discriminative, one expects to get medical attention in harmonized measures across health...

...Chapter 10: Comparing Two Groups Bivariate Analysis: Methods for comparing two groups are special cases of bivariate statistical methods – Two variables exist: Response variable – outcome variable on which comparisons are made Explanatory variable – binary variable that specifies the groups Statistical methods analyze how the outcome on the response variable depends on or is explained by the value of the explanatory variable Independent Samples: Most comparisons of groups use independent samples from the groups, The observations in one sample are independent of those in the other sample Example: Randomized experiments that randomly allocate subjects to two treatments Example: An observational study that separates subjects into groups according to their value for an explanatory variable Dependent samples: Dependent samples result when the data are matched pairs – each subject in one sample is matched with a subject in the other sample Example: set of married couples, the men being in one sample and the women in the other. Example: Each subject is observed at two times, so the two samples have the same subject Categorical response variable: For a categorical response variable - Inferences compare groups in terms of their population proportions in a particular category - We can compare the groups by the difference in their population proportions: (p1 – p2) Example: Experiment: Subjects were 22,071 male physicians Every other day for five years, study participants...

...seems to be your cliché American family. The family as you would expect from O’Connor’s writing is in its own way corrupt and what many catholic enthusiasts would say, need Jesus. The Grandmother being the worst case of them all and in the story shows examples of gluttony and lust, two major sins in the Roman Catholic faith. These sins are the eventual downfall of the entire family. This essay will view the repercussions that occur for lathering in a life of sin and argue that salvation can be disguised in many ways even as malicious at times. It will utilize research directly from the psychoanalytic concept, traumas, and realizations of the few characters who get passed they’re own demons and come to a self-religious realization. Additionally, the essay will pursue the relationships between the grandmother, the misfit, and the son, John Wesley and his Mother and their last minute, virtuous moments right before Gods jurisdiction is handed upon them. John Wesley realizes that his actions anytime before that moment were inexcusable towards his mother, but now it is too late as he is murdered in the woods and the grandmother’s having her salvation just before the Misfit eradicates her as well. Annotated Bibliography Yao, Tianyuan Ben. "A Test of Faith: Analysis on “A Good Man is Hard to Find”." A Journal of Academic Writing (2013): 10.

...Improving the access and affordability of health insurance coverage for all Americans should be a primary concern for those who help create the laws of the land. At this date, there are roughly 44 million Americans without any type of healthcare coverage. Another 38 million people have inadequate health insurance (PBS, 2012). What this all means is that the people who need it the most are putting off seeing a doctor until last moment and then usually end up visiting an emergency room. If they cannot pay for the visit, the cost of that ER visit falls back on the taxpayers, people who have health insurance coverage, and the Federal Government. The young, under the age of nineteen, are usually covered by Medicaid and the elderly, 65 and up, are usually covered by Medicare. The people lost in the middle are mainly those aged 19-64, who are uninsured and do what they can to keep themselves healthy. When that does not work, the local health departments and emergency rooms are expected to take up the slack. Of those who may have health insurance coverage, that coverage comes through their employer. The people who have insurance through their employer make up about 56% of the population American workers, while about 11% have privately purchased insurance (Jovanovic, et. al., 2003). The people who do not have traditional jobs such as those who work part-time, work through a temporary agency, or work for a small company who does not provide health insurance, make up 29% of the American population...

...Job Discrimination: Its Nature * Discrimination in its root meaning refers to the act of distinguishing one object from another. * In modern usage, the term refers to "wrongful discrimination," or distinguishing among people on the basis of prejudice instead of individual merit. * Discrimination in employment involves three basic elements: * It must be a decision not based on individual merit. * The decision must derive from racial or sexual prejudice. * The decision must have a harmful impact on the interest of employees Forms of Discrimination: Intentional and Institutional Aspects * Discriminatory acts can be categorized according to the extent to which they are intentional and institutionalized. * An act may be part of the isolated behavior of an individual: * Intentionally discriminates based on personal prejudice. * An act may be part of the routine, institutionalized behavior of a group. * The act must intentionally discriminate out of personal prejudice. * An act may be part of the isolated behavior of a single individual who unintentionally discriminates because he or she uncritically adopts the practices and stereotypes of his or her society * An act may be part of the systematic routine of a group that unintentionally discriminates because group members uncritically incorporate the discriminatory practices of society.

...Riordan Manufacturing has four locations that all serve different purposes in the company. Riordan Manufacturing has locations in Albany, Georgia, Pontiac, Michigan, Hangzhou, China and the corporate headquarters in San Jose, California. Riordan Manufacturing uses a Wide Area Network (WAN) that allow the three locations to be connected to the corporate headquarters in San Jose, California. Along with the Wide Area Network to connect the locations to the Corporate Headquarters of Riordan Manufacturing, each location has its own Local Area Network (LAN). Network Architecture. The topology of the networks varies from site to site. The network of the Corporate Headquarters and the location in China both use a bus topology in both networks there is a single 100BaseT line that is either connected to a server or an interface device. The other two site Albany, Georgia and Pontiac, Michigan both use what seems to be a partial mesh topology or a hybrid topology. The servers on these networks are all connected together , the interface devices are connected to the server, and the clients and printers are then connected to only the interface devices. All of the locations have their own local area network which is connected to the Corporate Headquarter though a point to point connection which is a star topology.

...RGS 2014 Year 3 Physics Performance Task (A) Introduction This report is the analysis of the motion of a Slinky dropping. When a slinky is fully extended and then released, it can be seen that the top and bottom of the slinky act somewhat unusually and do not fall at an acceleration of 9.81 m/s. In order to understand this motion, a video tracking software has been used to track these two points of the slinky. This report focuses on the y-direction (vertical) movement of these points through two phases. Phase A to B is when the top of the slinky has yet to meet the bottom of the slinky. When the slinky is fully compressed, this is when phase B to C begins, and it ends when the slinky hits the floor. The aim of this report is to analyse these results, in order to explain the movement of the falling slinky. (B) Procedure In this experiment, a 21cm ruler has been used for a reference length for the video tracking software. For increased accuracy, a longer reference length should be used. The procedure, which should be recorded using a camera on a tripod stand, placed such that there is no perspective error, is as follows: 1. Hold slinky from the top most coil so that it is fully extended and does not touch the floor. (See Diagram B1) 2. When the slinky has settled and there is minimal movement, release the slinky. 3. Stop recording when the Slinky has come to a complete rest. The height that the Slinky is released from is unimportant, as the video tracking...

...In this lab we will be exploring both friction and air resistance, two resistive forces that are critical in the design of real-world products and systems. Understanding the effects of these types of forces is essential in the design of such things as aircraft, automobiles, braking systems, and countless other objects. This activity is based on Lab 4 of the eScience Lab kit. Although you should read all of the content in Lab 4, we will be performing a targeted subset of the eScience experiments. Our lab consists of two main components. These components are described in detail in the eScience manual. Here is a quick overview: * In the first part of the lab, you will measure the force it takes to pull objects of different mass. This experiment focuses on the effects of frictional forces. (eScience Experiment 1) * In the second part of the lab, you will investigate the effects of air resistance by performing controlled drops of coffee filters.
