...Unit 2 – Equality, Diversity and Rights within Health and Social Care P4 For this task, I am going to explain how two national initiatives promote anti-discriminatory practice. Sex discrimination act 1975 This act applies for both men and women. It promotes that both men and women should be treated equally. For example, in transport, education, jobs etc. It promotes anti-discriminatory practice by making sure those men and women are treated equally, if this act applies didn’t exist, men and women may be deprived of certain choices. This act includes any discrimination against homosexual marriages or civil partnerships, any discrimination against pregnant women and maternity leave, also about equal pay for both men and women. Disability discrimination act 2005 This act applies to anyone that has some sort of disability. This act is in place to protect disabled people against discrimination both in employment and when using a service or facility. For example, anyone with a disability should have the same opportunities in work or learning places such as school, colleges or universities. In other places such as shops and banks, and to also make sure that they are treated fairly when they go somewhere to eat or drink, such as restaurants or pubs. Public transport services have to make sure trains; buses, etc. are accessible and have the right facilities for anyone with a disability. “The government has implemented the legislation in three phases. Phase 1 in 1996 made it...

...Problem: Given a cyclic pentagon ABCDE.AD ∩ EB = {X}, AD ∩ EC = {L}, AC ∩ EB = {Y }, AC ∩ BD = {Z}, EC ∩ BD = {T }. (EAX) ∩ (ABY ) = {A1 }, (ABY ) ∩ (BCZ) = {B1 }, (BZC) ∩ (DT C) = {C1 }, (DT C) ∩ (ELD) = {D1 }, (ELD) ∩ (EAX) = {E1 }. Prove that A1 B1 C1 D1 E1 is a cyclic pentagon. Solution: First we will express a lemma: Given a pentagon ABCDE.A1 , B1 , C1 , D1 , E1 , A2 , B2 , C2 , D2 , E2 are defined as the figure below. Then AA2 , BB2 , CC2 , DD2 , EE2 are concurrent. A2 A y1 E x3 z3 C1 x2 E2 E3 y 2 O B1 D1 x1 A3 D3 z2 C3 B B2 B3 E1 y3 A1 D2 D C2 z1 C Proof: Denote A3 = AA2 ∩ BE, similar we define B3 , C3 , D3 , E3 . Denote O1 = AA3 ∩ EE3 , O2 = AA3 ∩ BB3 . We will show that O1 ≡ O2 ⇔ Applying Menelaus’s theorem : AO1 EA3 E3 C1 . . =1 A3 O1 EC1 E3 A AO1 AO2 = .(∗) O 1 A3 O2 A3 AO2 A3 B B3 D1 . . = 1. A3 O2 BD1 B3 A EA3 E3 C1 A3 B B3 D1 So (∗) is true iff . = . (∗∗) EC1 E3 A BD1 B3 A Put BD1 = x1 , D1 C1 = x2 , C1 E = x3 , AC1 = y1 , C1 B1 = y2 , B1 D = y3 , CE1 = z1 , E1 D1 = z2 , D1 A = z3 . BA3 A3 C1 x2 (x2 + x1 ) We have A3 D1 .A3 B = A3 C1 .A3 E then = . So we can calculate EA3 = ,similar EA3 A3 D1 x1 + 2x2 + x3 with E3 C1 , E3 A, A3 B, B3 D1 , B3 A. and 1 y2 (y2 + y3 ) z2 (z2 + z1 ) x2 (x2 + x1 ) x2 (x2 + x3 ) + x3 + x1 y1 + 2y2 + y3 x + 2x2 + x3 x + 2x2 + x3 z1 + 2z2 + z3 . .

...LIST OF NONCONFORMING MOTOR VEHICLES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR IMPORTATION (BY OR THROUGH A REGISTERED IMPORTER) as of October 1, 2011 Under 49 U.S.C. § 30112(a), a person may not permanently import into the United States a motor vehicle manufactured after the date that an applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) takes effect unless the vehicle complies with the standard and is so certified by its original manufacturer. This prohibition applies to both new and used motor vehicles, but does not apply to motor vehicles that are at least 25 years old (based on the date that the vehicle was manufactured). Under one of the exceptions to this prohibition, found in 49 U.S.C. § 30141, a motor vehicle that was not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable FMVSS can be lawfully imported into the United States, provided it is determined eligible for importation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and is imported by a registered importer, or by a person who has a contract with a registered importer to bring the vehicle into compliance with all applicable FMVSS following importation. Import eligibility decisions can be made either on the initiative of the Administrator of NHTSA or on the petition of a manufacturer or registered importer. One basis for determining a motor vehicle eligible for importation is that it 1) is substantially similar to a motor vehicle of the same model year that was manufactured for sale in the United States and certified...

...Mercedes and BMW have been competing head-to-head for market share in the luxury-car market for more than four decades. Back in 1959, BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke) almost went bankrupt and nearly sold out to Daimler-Benz, the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars. BMW was able to recover to the point that in 1992 it passed Mercedes in worldwide sales. Among the reasons for BMWs success was its ability to sell models that were more luxurious than previous models but still focused on consumer quality and environmental responsibility. In particular, BMW targeted its sales pitch to the younger market, whereas Mercedes retained a more mature customer base. In response to BMWs success, Mercedes has been trying to change their image by launching several products in an effort to attract younger buyers who are interested in sporty, performance-oriented cars. BMW, influenced by Mercedes, is pushing for more refinement and comfort. In fact, one automotive expert says that Mercedes wants to become BMW, and vice versa. However, according to one recent automotive expert, the focus is still on luxury and comfort for Mercedes while BMW focuses on performance and driving dynamics. Even though each company produces many different models, two relatively comparable coupe automobiles are the BMW 3 Series Coupe 335i and the Mercedes CLK350 Coupe. In a recent year, the national U.S. market price for the BMW 3 Series Coupe 335i was $39,368 and for the Mercedes CLK350 Coupe was $44,520. Gas mileage for both...

...On Tuesday, June 13, Blythe City Council approved the recommendation set forth by Chief Jeffrey Wade of the Blythe Police Department, for the acquisition of a 2000 Dodge Peacekeeper armored rescue truck, from the Glendale California Police Department. Through the 1033 program, a federal government policy regulated by the Secretary of Defense, underfunded law enforcement agencies that are unable to obtain supplies and equipment to fulfill their duties are inclined to receive a transfer of excess military equipage at no cost to the agency. Valued at $65,100, staff report made available at the council meeting said, due to budget concerns, purchasing a new Peacekeeper was fiscally impossible. Having already received issued patrol rifles through this program, Chief Wade said, Sgt. Joshua Coe of Blythe PD, worked tirelessly to make sure the City was able to receive at a time where the nation is persistently seeing an uprise in violence. Orating this report at last week’s City Council meeting, Wade said, “According to the FBI, violent crime and “active shooter” situations are on the rise all across the United States. The question is not “if,”we will have an active shooter situation in Blythe, but rather “when?” Wade said the vehicle will be used to rescue injured citizens and officers when an active threat is present, which will also provide officers with a safe cover. Before procuring this vehicle, the City never had an armored rescue truck, although, Coe said, Blythe, and the...
