...Obamacare. Obamacare was signed into law on March, 2010. It has been the most significant repair to the United States healthcare since Medicare and Medicaid passed in 1965. In this paper, the key points that will be discussed are obamacare policy, it pros and cons, if it raises any issues with federalism and the policys effectiveness. Obamacare is aimed at helping the underinsured to gain insurance. With this plan everyone would have health insurance regardless of income, or anything that would stop the person from attaining health insurance. The Affordable Care Act is a watershed in U.S. public health policy. Through a series of extensions of, and revisions to, the multiple laws that together comprise the federal legal framework for the U.S. health-care system, the Act established the basic legal protections that until now have been absent: a near-universal guarantee of access to affordable health insurance coverage, from birth through retirement.(Rosenbaum, 2010) Obamacare is a name used by critics of President Obamas efforts to reform health care. Its a common term used to describe the Patient Protection and Affordable care Act of 2010. ObamaCare contains many benefits, especially for low and middle income families and businesses. ObamaCare also contains some obstacles for larger firm that dont insure their employees and certain aspects of the healthcare industry. The Pros and Cons boil down to this, Obamacare the average American has a lot to gain and little to lose...

...ALLIGATORS- Organism Physiology Jennifer Ayoub http://www.daufuskieislandconservancy.org/index.php?page=american-alligator The organism that I am going to discuss in this paper is the Alligator. The name "alligator" is an anglicized form of el lagarto, the Spanish term for "the lizard", which early Spanish explorers and settlers in Florida called the alligator. The alligator The alligator is from the crocodilia family and is found normally in the north and even the south. Alligators can grow as big as 14ft and 970 lbs. The largest alligator is in Lousiana and is 72 yrs old. When the alligators reproduce their populations they are found as far in the north as 35 degrees latitude in the freshwater marshes and rivers of coastal North Carolina, and they are also found in the far south as 25 degrees latitude in the Florida Keys. Some of the alligators live in the ocean and they are known as “Salties”. They can't live in the salt water because they dont have the saltwater glands. These different areas are exposed to very different annual thermal cycles. Alligators stop eating when the water temperature drops below 16 degrees C. This anorexia lasts for about 6 months at 35 degrees latitude. In southwest, Louisiana alligators stop feeding in October and they do not resume feeding until the late March or early April. The only time that the alligators grow is in the warmer months, this is their growing season, because they are constantly feeding during this...

...Tempest, “the one-child policy in China will play a spoilsport.” The logic is simple. Fast population growth equals more young people, and more young people equals a more dynamic work force. According to the Indian Express, citing India’s Ministry of Labour and Employment, India already has an advantage over more advanced economies. The median age in India in 2000 was 24, compared to 30 in China, 38 in Europe and 41 in creaky old Japan. However, most of those Indians live in the countryside, and it’s no secret that India’s rural population is not sharing in the boom enjoyed by people in other parts of the country. In the past, Asiatech blog readers have written in to debate the merits of India’s development model versus China’s, and the topic of population growth has come up a lot. I’m no fan of China’s one-child policy, and I definitely am not advocating that India adopt anything like it. (Aside from the obvious human-rights problems associated with the policy, some experts argue that the slowdown of China’s population growth came before it even went into effect. For instance, see this article...

...my favorite piece by him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Picasso_three_musicians_moma_2006.jpg This painting is considered to be Sythetic Cubist style because of the broken up and reassembled pieces to represent the subject in a greater text. What I mean in my terms is that the odd shapes are reassembled to still keep a clear image, in this case I mean the three men in the picture. The Three Muscians is a great example of Cubist style in the Twentieth century. Pablo Picasso was a spanish painter who spent most of his lifetime in France. He is known to this very day as the greatest and most influential artist of the 20th century. Picasso demonstrated artistic talent in his early years, painting realistic manner through his childhood experiences. Aside from the anti-war paintings that he created Picasso remained neutral during World War I, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II, refusing to join the armed forces for any side or country. Picasso's work is often categorized in periods, The Blue Period (1901-1904), The Rose Period (1905-1907), the African-Influenced Period (1908-1909), Analytic Cubism (1909-1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912-1919). The Three Musicians is so unique and considered cubism because of its cut paper fragments from a newspaper or from wallpaper were pasted into compositions, creating the first use of collage in fine art. Its decorative shapes, colors, and stenciling are very appealing to me. When Picasso painted with the style cubism, he painted...

...Trans-genders in the Military As time continues, things that we found unusual and unrealistic have become normal and not such a burden to us. The military has been a key role on moving forward with many of these hush hush discussions many try to sweep under the rug. Now that the military is allowing openly gay, lesbian, and bi-sexual personnel into the military, there should be no reason for them to discriminate on trans-gender personnel who are trying to serve their country. In order for us to go forward with my statement I need you all to be opened minded. We all have an opinion but in the end it’s up to us to make the change for our future. The Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) era was a time when homosexuals where not allowed to be who they where without getting in trouble. The term was coined after President Bill Clinton in 1993 signed a law (consisting of statue, regulations, and policy memoranda) directing that military personal could not openly be a homosexual in the military (Britannica, 2015). In order for Clinton to win his seat in the white House he needed his sponsors to support him and having openly gays in the military was not something they wanted. Even though Clinton was for it he had to satisfy his supporters. After many discussions and fights back and forth Clinton finally came to an agreement that homosexuals could join the military but not be opened about it. Many officers were overwhelmingly opposed to that approach, fearing that the mere presence of homosexuals...

...of the options and choices we have available, we can do just about any day-to-day function if we have a computer with a web browser. What is Social Web? The Social web is a specified term for the World Wide Web as a kind of Social Media. The term is currently used to describe how people socialize or interact with each other throughout the web. The Social Web mostly refers to Social networking, MySpace for example, and content-sharing sites (which also offer a Social networking functionality) within Web 2.0. These Social websites are mostly formed around the connections of people of the same interest, but there are several theories that specify exactly how this formation works. There are for example said to be “people focus” websites such as Bebo, Facebook, and MySpace, that focus of social interaction often by making the user create an online identity and a profile. There is also socializing on the web that is typified by “hobby focus”. For example, if one is interested in photography and wants to share this with like-minded people, then there are photography websites such as Flikr, Kodak Gallery, and Photobucket. I just love the fact that there are so many social networking sites to choose from all over the web. Personally, I am on Facebook, MySpace, MocoSpace, and several other sites that I do not engage in very often. I am really big on music, so I really like music sharing sites such as YouTube, Fun For Mobile, and Myxer. I can access all-most websites on...

...Please rephrase answer 1 and 2. Elaborate answer 3, 4, and 5. I have done it in question-answer format, please write it in essay style. Introduction: (u dont have to rephrase the introduction) During world war 2, USA dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.The first bomb was dropped hiroshima on August 6, 1945. The Japanese still did not surrender so three days later on august 9, 1945 USA dropped another bomb on the city of Nagasaki.(1) Question-answer 1. Statement of the problem What aspects of the topic make it an environmental problem? Answer. The events of August 6 and August 9 can be translated into environmental effects more literally. The blasts caused air pollution from dust particles and radioactive debris flying around, and from the fires burning everywhere. Many plants and animals were killed in the blast, or died moments to months later from radioactive precipitation. Radioactive sand clogged wells used for drinking water winning, thereby causing a drinking water problem that could not easily be solved. Surface water sources were polluted, particularly by radioactive waste. Agricultural production was damaged; dead stalks of rice could be found up to seven miles from ground zero. In Hiroshima the impact of the bombing was noticeable within a 10 km radius around the city, and in Nagasaki within a 1 km radius. (2) 2. Historical basis of the problem. When did the problem start? Where? What...

...*RESEARCH PAPER* TOPIC: “BROKEN FAMILY” SUBMITTED BY: LURLYN M. BANGERO SUBMITTED TO: MRS. ASELA PINGUL INTRODUCTION: Family is the basic unit of society. This is the most essential component of a country. Governance will only be effective if the citizens are properly oriented with good values and virtues, which is commonly taught by the family. A home is where a family lives. It may be alternated to the word ‘house’ but a house is more appropriately referring to the material structure, whereas ‘home’ refers to the intangible things that bind together the family members. It is the immeasurable love and care that keeps together the mother, father and their children. However, no matter how ideal a family in the terms of their relationship, there are still hardships and misunderstandings that will come along the way. It is just part of any relationship anyway. But, the sad part is when one of the family members gave up and the others have no choice but to accept and let go. Thus, the family starts to be broken. I. FACTOR THAT BREAK UP A FAMILY A. The spouses fall out of love with each other. 1.They don’t understand the difference between infatuation and love 2.They aren’t don’t understand how to grow their love for each other 3.They don’t know what partnership is, or how to do it. Without partnership, there can be no lasting love. B. Financial...

...Managing Diversity with Organizational Behavior Managing Diversity with Organizational Behavior I believe the president of the United States Barack Obama and many of the 2010 Congressmen and Senators could have learned a lot from this Organizational Behavior class. I believe that their lack of managing diversity training is the root cause of some major turmoil both in and out of the military, and will continue to be for many years to come. In this analysis I would like to focus on some issues with the legislations repeal act of president Bill Clinton and his 1993 legislation’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and discuss how the 2010 legislation could have managed diversity with less complications. The following analysis is not meant to voice the military nor my personal opinion of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy nor its repeal. This analysis will focus purely on how the 2010 legislation could have managed diversity with less complications (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010, p. 35) in regards to: the repeal act of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy (Wikipedia, 2012), the Defense of Marriage Act (Beutler, 2011), and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) Article 125: Sodomy (SLDN, 2012), and how these policies are currently not working well together (Beutler, 2011). Diversity represents the multitude of individual differences and similarities that exist among people. Diversity is not an issue of age, race, or gender. Diversity is not an issue of being heterosexual, gay...
