...PREPARATION AND THE TEMPERATURE DANGER ZONESafe temperatures mean 45 F or below and 140 F or above. Any temperaturebetween 45 F and 140 F is considered to be in the TEMPERATURE DANGER ZONE.Food products have to be in the danger zone at some time during their preparation.However, 3 hours is the maximum time that a food can be in the danger zone withoutbecoming dangerously contaminated. After 3 hours in the danger zone, enoughbacteria can grow to cause foodborne disease outbreaks. Unfortunately, a food doesnot have to be in the danger zone for 3 consecutive hours to become a health hazard.The time accumulates; that is, each separate period which exposes the food to dangerzone temperatures counts toward the 3-hour limit. For example, a frozen food is to beprepared. First, the food has to be thawed. The thawing period places the food in thedanger zone. Later, the food may be mixed with other food items or chopped or cut.This again exposes the food to dangerous temperatures. In addition, the food may becontaminated from contact with other foods or utensils. If the food is left sitting at roomtemperature, it once again is in the danger zone. From this example, you can see that itis very easy for food to stay in the danger zone for 3 hours or more. When inspectingfood preparation procedures at a full-service food facility, you must determine thatpersonnel are following procedures to minimize the time that potentially hazardous fooditems remain in the danger...

...action against the mother, and denied it as to the sister’s behalf, the third cause of action. The court further dismissed the second cause of action as well. Margery M. Dillon then appealed from that judgement. However, on January 26th further proceedings were put into place on accounts of the third action of Cheryl Dillon. The defendant in opposition contended again that Cheryl Dillon was not in the zone of danger of the incident, and therefor had no fear of her own safety. The court using a reaction of authoritative reasoning of previous established law came to a conclusion regarding the third action. The reason the courts chose the case of Amaya V. Home, Ice, Fuel, and Supply Company was obviously similarity of the two cases. The case Amaya V. Home ruled fright and nervous shock can cause bodily harm to a third person or person, but only if so if the person is in the zone of danger causing fear for one’s own life. This would mean the court would grant the motion of judgement for the sister, but not the mother because, the plaintiff testified she was not within the zone of danger contrasting the sister who...

...Specifically, while some cars can slow down at an acceleration of -10.0m/s2, older cars are incapable of stopping at such an acceleration hence, this difference in cars increases the chance of accidents because some cars will decelerate faster than others, thus, the stopping distances would vary. In addition, insufficient weather conditions could make the road excessively slippery or coarse, which may slow down motorists while they are driving, hence, increasing the danger zone. In particular, cars would not have enough time to cross the whole intersection, and cars that are two close to stop, yet too far to cross, would not be able to stop at a safe distance away from the intersection (they will stop in between the intersection). Therefore, the three second yellow light would be very effective in severe weather situations, which is very common in Canada, as Canada is very prone to thunderstorms, blizzards, and extreme snow. Hence, a shorter light time would propel drivers to drive faster, increasing the risk of fatal accidents. Furthermore, every individual has a different reaction time, hence some people will have a greater reaction time than others so, they will require a greater distance and time to stop...

...relative risk to you by indicating the color where you live. Chicago, Illinois – has a very low hazard of occurrence. Magnitude: 2.5; Region: Mid-West. According to Earthquakes (2012), Illinois is at risk from two major seismic zones, the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone and the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ). The Wabash Valley Zone is located between southeastern Illinois and southwestern Indiana. The NMSZ is located in the Central Mississippi Valley and includes portions of the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee. During any 50-year time span, there is a 25% to 40% chance of a magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquake in this seismic zone. Since 1974, the year network monitoring of seismic activity began, more than 3000 earthquakes have been recorded in the NMSZ. Fortunately, none of these earthquakes exceeded a magnitude of 5.0, and most occurred without our noticing. The largest earthquake in recent years occurred on the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. This earthquake registered a magnitude of 5.4 and occurred in Mt. Carmel, Illinois on April 18th, 2008. What patterns do you see in the distribution of earthquakes around the world? The predominance of earthquakes are concentrated in tapered zones and are not...

...ability to determine that their is a danger, their ability to disseminate the information to those potentially affected, and on the education of the public to heed the warnings and remove themselves from the area. A tsunami is a series of long wavelength water waves caused by a sudden vertical displacement of the ocean's surface. When the waves reach the shore, they rear up and break, and can be many feet high. Tsunamis can reach far inland. Most are caused by underwater earthquakes at or near subduction zones. Rare but much larger tsunamis can be produced by landslides into the ocean or underwater landslides. Any impulsive event that produces a localized surface displacement of an ocean or large lake can produce tsunamis, such as underwater volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts and nuclear explosions. Tsunamis have wavelengths that are hundreds of miles long, much larger than the depth of the ocean. As a result, they move at the shallow water wave velocity, which is hundreds of miles per hour and is determined by the depth of the ocean. In the open ocean away from the source, they are only a few feet high and are undetectable except to sensitive sea floor instruments. When they reach shore, they slow down, grow in heigh and break like surf, overrunning low lying areas. At the shore, tsunamis can be small and undetectable or hundreds of meters high. The Indian Ocean tsunami of 26 Dec 2004 was produced by an earthquake along a subduction zone where the Burma plate overides...

...The Responsibility Project: No Phone Zone Day ETH/316 The Responsibility Project: No Phone Zone Day As members of a community it is our responsibility to watch out for our fellow residents. When it comes to cell phone usage while driving I think that it is obvious it should not be done. It is socially irresponsible and absolutely unethical to talk, text or play on a cell phone while driving, as the video showed us. But unfortunately still everyday another person is killed by someone using a cell phone. According to the No Phone Zone video an estimated 812,000 people use mobile devices while driving, one out of three teen drivers admit to texting while driving, 5,870 people were killed and 515,000 people were injured because of distracted drivers (2010). This growing ethical issue has compelled people to take a stand on April 30, 2010 to form an awareness day called No Phone Zone Day (No Phone Zone Day, 2010). The role of external social pressures in influencing organizational ethics Organizational ethics get external pressure from all places, and they can be positive and negative. Some types of positive roles are awareness and education. Some negative roles are peer pressure and promotion pressures. If you show people that there are consequences for the actions that they take, then they are more aware. Peer pressure is a double edges sword; it can either be positive or negative. If one person is doing something bad and nothing is happening to them the others...

...University of Phoenix Material Food Safety Worksheet Read each of the following scenarios. Scenario 1: Jeremiah went grocery shopping on a hot summer day. He bought food for an upcoming family BBQ; ground beef for hamburgers, a couple of steaks, and the ingredients for making potato salad. When he left the store, he put his groceries in the trunk and stopped by the sports outlet store to pick up a Frisbee and croquet set. It took about 10 minutes at the sports store, and then Jeremiah headed home to prepare the food. He was concerned that it had been too hot in the car, but everything was still cold when he got home. Jeremiah took the groceries home and put everything in the refrigerator. The meat fit well on the top shelf, right above the potato salad ingredients. Later on, he got the groceries out to prep everything for the BBQ. He cooked the potatoes and used a sharp knife to trim some excess fat off of the raw steaks. Then he cut up the rest of the vegetables for the potato salad with the sharp knife on a cutting board. Jeremiah formed the hamburger patties, seasoned the steaks, and finished making the potato salad. With only about 45 minutes to go before leaving for the BBQ, Jeremiah left everything sitting out on the counter while he showered and got ready. When he arrived at the BBQ, he set the potato salad on the picnic table and went to grill the steaks and burgers. He cooked both to about medium doneness, meaning both were pink in the middle...

...damage. This essay considers possible ways of mitigating the future damage and deaths from volcano eruptions, as well as the volcano risk areas in the United States. The first step in mitigating the effects of volcanoes is establishing high technology detection systems that will forecast possible volcanoes activities. There are many seismic data collecting systems designed to monitor the activities of magma and the volcano sites. However, these systems ought to be upgraded into to newer technologies to ensure efficiency in forecasting volcano eruptions (Aditya, 2014). In addition, the findings of these systems ought to be taken with weight. Failing to act upon the indications from such systems marks the beginning of volcano eruption dangers. Therefore, it is not only a matter of establishing systems, but ensuring that they are functional and acting upon their findings. Secondly, timely warnings of possible eruptions will assist people to keep safe distances from the volcano eruption. It is inevitable to warn people when volcano activities indicate possible eruptions in the near future. For example, increased magma activities as well as multiple earthquakes are indicators of possible eruptions in the near future (Wright, 2003). When such signs come to play, people should get warning on time, to ensure they get enough time to relocate and take other necessary measures to ensure they are safe from the eruptions...

...------------------------------------------------- Risk Assessment Risk assessment It is the process of analyzing threats to, and vulnerabilities of, an information system, and the potential impact that the loss of information or capabilities of a system would have on national security or your company's bottom line. Identifying threats To identify threats, look at the organization, the guardian organization and the business/nation. At each one level, focus the risk by inquiring as to whether an assailant can represent a danger. Does somebody have the inspiration to endeavor a helplessness? Is there a background marked by effective endeavor? Does somebody have a past filled with focusing on your industry? An alternate approach to distinguish dangers is to consider the properties the association may have: divulgence (trading off radiations, capture, dishonorable support techniques, programmers); interference (tremor, flame, surge, malignant code, power disappointment); adjustment (information passage blunders, programmers, noxious code); decimation (force spikes, fire, characteristic catastrophes); and evacuation (burglary of information or frameworks). To focus vulnerabilities, utilize the grid to meeting staff, audit past security occurrences, and analyze review and framework records and framework documentation. Contact merchants for reports of known framework vulnerabilities, check counseling Web locales and search for security issues by utilizing computerized apparatuses...

...affects human life, property or activity. A response is the methods that humans take to reduce future risks, or prevent damage during in a hazard. Evacuation plans are in place in both MEDCs and LEDCs, however a lack of education about hazards and human resistance to government advice can have implications on responses. Evacuation plans can be put into place in order to respond to hazards. One such example is used in the Bay of Napoli, Italy where the volcano Vesuvius is active. There are 3 zones; Red, yellow and blue. The red zone is subject to the most danger, including pyroclastic flows, gases, landslides and ash. There is a population of just under 550mila living in this zone, therefore if an eruption is highly anticipated, then the entire area will be evacuated as soon as possible. The yellow zone will most likely be affected by only pyroclastic particles, such as ash, and it is estimated that only 10% of this region is actually at danger. The blue zone is within the yellow zone, and at risk to floods as it consists of the Valley of Nola. By having a structured and detail evacuation plan in place, those living in potential risk areas have their chances of human damage reduced, as they can escape the area. Monitoring systems are in place which theoretically will give...

...Embedded Journalism and War Reporting Dion E Jones University of Phoenix COMM 220 Maureen, Duffy M.A. May 13, 2012 Embedded Journalism and War Reporting Journalism covers the principles of reporting in different circumstances such as the time-based news as in press conferences or untimely news of crisis, disasters and conflicts. Even though the reporting objectives are vast, and the journalists are expected to perform their duties without any fear or bias, it is the responsibility of the journalists to observe certain ethical considerations. At times, what journalists consider their responsibility may prove to be harmful for others. The policy of embedded journalism is debated mainly because, it compromises the military’s safety, security and strategy, through its bias and unethical reports; the presence of embedded journalists should not be allowed alongside fighting forces. Ethics of Journalism and War Reporting The question whether something is ethical or not, is gaining worldwide scrutiny these days. With the advent of social media, people have access to so much detail regarding the circumstances of the world. The journalists who are active through social media seem to provide all the minor details to their followers notwithstanding the ethical aspect of such information. The line between what...

...on the basis of negligence. S.S. Kresge owes a duty to all customers that come to the store an environment of safety. There has to be a safe environment for all customers who are in the store. The third element to be considered is that of causation, and this comes after establishing a duty and a breach. Mae Tom must establish that the breech of duty was the cause of the damages. There is a test that is used for this element, the "but for" test-but for the action of the defendant, the plaintiff would not have been injured. Kresege breached its duty to keep the store in a reasonably safe condition and its failure to do caused the Ms. Tom's injuries. The "but for" test is limited by the zone of danger rule which requires the plaintiff to be in the zone of danger when the injury occurs. Zone of danger includes all people who could forseeably be injured if a duty is breached. If there was no liquid on the floor there would ne...
