...China’s Relations with Africa and West Name Name of Institution Tutor Date China’s Relations with Africa and West Introduction The international relations between China and countries of the West and Africa have enjoyed a long standing relationship though at different levels. Since the emergence of the People’s Republic of China, China-West and China-Africa relations have advanced continuously, as shall be demonstrated herein by the deepening relations in economic, political and cultural realms. These relations have created a new form of strategic partnerships founded on political equality, economic win-win relations, mutual trust and social-cultural exchanges. Over the last 60 years or so, China-West and China-Africa co-operations, have been based on the principles of equality, sincerity, mutual benefit and international relations development. Particularly, in Africa the co-operations have demonstrated reverence to the will of African countries, deepened relations between African and Chinese businesses and indicated a higher level of sincerity in helping African countries in their development agendas. However, this may not be the case with co-operations between China and the West due to different interest between the two entities, apparently, different from those that are experienced in Africa. Notwithstanding these different interests, a common feature on trade and economic relations have reached remarkable results and the overall effect has enabled growth in business...

...Sharlin Janar K208 With reference to the learning activities in Week 2, discuss the purpose and functions of the youth justice system in England and Wales in terms of your own practice and experience. Introduction In this assignment I am going to discuss the purpose and functions of the Youth Justice System. I will start by exploring the build up to the legislations that underpins the Youth Justice System which is the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. I will also discuss the purpose and functions of Youth Justice System and how my role contributes to their declared objectives. Finally I will conclude by indicating the effectiveness of the Youth Justice System. Discussion In 1996 a report was published by the Audit Commission titled Misspent Youth: Young People and Crime. An investigation was performed as there were concerns about the way the youth justice system was operating; the system was found to be “Inefficient” and “ineffective” in addressing youth crime. To create a solution to the recognised problems brought to light from Misspent Youth, a White Paper titled No More Excuses was proposed in 1997. Following the recommendations submitted by No more Excuses, this paper provided the groundwork for the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 Crime and Disorder Act 1998 stipulated that ‘It shall be the principle aim of the youth justice system to prevent offending by children and young persons’ Section 37(1). The act brought about a number of provisions, such as...

...regardless of size, location or complexity. • Improve coordination and cooperation between public and private entities in a variety of incident management activities. • Provide a common standard for overall incident management. Why do we need NIMS? NIMS provides a consistent nationwide framework and approach to enable government at all levels (Federal, State, tribal, and local), the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to work together to prepare for, prevent, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents regardless of the incident’s cause, size, location, or complexity. Consistent application of NIMS lays the groundwork for efficient and effective responses, from a single agency fire response to a multiagency, multijurisdictional natural disaster or terrorism response. Entities that have integrated NIMS into their planning and incident management structure can arrive at an incident with little notice and still understand the procedures and protocols governing the response, as well as the expectations for equipment and personnel. NIMS provides commonality in preparedness and response efforts that allow diverse entities to readily integrate and, if necessary, establish unified command during an incident. What are the Components of NIMS? NIMS Components link together and work in unison to form a comprehensive incident management system. NIMS Components include: • Preparedness • Communications and Information Management • Resource Management •...

... The Department of Justice provides oversight of daily operations conducted in the fusion centers, across the United States and abroad. The President of the United States, delegates command authority to the Department of Justice over each established Intelligence Fusion Centers (German and Stanley 2007). Furthermore, the President directs each governor in all states must establish an intelligence section at the state level, to collect, examine, and distribute intelligence across the intelligence community (USGAO 2014). Consequently, the task of the fusion center become complicated when information gathered and analyzed cannot be disseminated to foreign or other local agencies, due to levels of classification or nonexistent of a joint multiagency database (Taylor and Russel 2012, 187). The task of gathering and analyzing information is accomplished in the confines of a fusion center. However, maximum dissemination is restricted. The Joint Terrorist Task Force was established to identify, detect, deter, exploit, and respond to potential threats. The accomplishment of those objectives is not possible, should each individual organization continue to operate as individuals, rather than a joint organization, working towards a common goal (Middlemiss and Gupta 2001). Therefore, it is in the best interest of the United States National Security for all supporting organizations to understand not only each other’s cultural background but the collaborative mission of the JTTF. The Goal of...

...CHANGING EMERGENCY MANAGER’S ROLES Emergency response to community needs has existed since humans started to gather in groups. Communities early in history had no specific roles. All members of the community were expected to assist when emergencies arose. According to written history, the entire community was expected to respond to fires, to open their homes to allow for triage, and every able-bodied member of the community was expected perform a role. Mayors, sheriffs, and other types of community leaders were by virtue of their office thrust into leadership roles when an emergency affected the community resources regardless of their experience. Today, Emergency Managers are often elected. They usually have a strong education and experience level. Emergency Managers are often trained with government resources, have a military background and are directly linked to Federal resources which continuously assist them in preparing for the next emergency. The most critical different is the speed by which the hazards change today. Early community leaders were rarely dealing with more than one issue at any given time, but today’s managers may be responsible for an enormous population and the additional hazards which lie within. Any natural disaster can initiate a chain of problems from HAZMAT spills to infectious disease outbreaks and today’s Emergency Managers have to be prepared for everything to happen at once. Early American history showed keen understanding of the power...

...foreign investors. Furthermore, developing youth capacity through innovative business ideas would not only provide occupation and motivation to the youths, but also benefit the economy and society to even solve the crisis of that particular state. The Netherlands strongly condemns the acts of radicalization and extremism; having dealt with several crises relating to extremism, radicalization and terrorism. The Dutch authorities see radicalization not just as a threat to security, but also to the democratic legal order, as it can lead to social unrest and increasing polarization. Therefore, The Netherlands has initiated a sophisticated and comprehensive plan to target radicalization in all its aspects to provide an integrated, national-level multiagency approach to the challenge of youth radicalization. Some of the main projects are: 1. Personal Intervention Against Young People in Right-Wing Extremist Circles: Support the youths on the fringes of extremist groups in Winsoten to exit from these movements by helping them return to school, get a job and find a permanent residence. 2. Nuansa: Support, raise awareness, provide education and job trainings and enhance expertise of professionals and policy makers while assisting and advising youths on matters of radicalisation and polarisation. 3. Actieplan Slotervaart Het tegengaan van radicalisering: To increase awareness of the dangers of radicalisation amongst young people in the Dutch town of Slotervaart and engage those already radicalised...

...activities and of course the oil itself. The authors concluded that the efforts in this case of the mass oiling of shoreline birds was successful. It is mentioned that many of the birds survived for many years after being cleaned and released. This document is relevant because it gives an example of a population of coastal birds that becomes oiled, and for the most part are able to rehabilitated. This article is credible because it was found on jstor as well as being published by the Waterbird society. Summary 6 FDA risk assessment of seafood contamination after BP oil spill The FDA did a risk assessment of to protect people from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAH) adsorbed in seafood from the oil spill. After the spill there was a multiagency assessment done by all states bordering the gulf, and it was determined that the cancer risk of regular consumption would be 1x10^-5. The FDA then concluded that there is not a large risk of cancer over a lifetime of exposure. The acceptable risk range is between of PAH in seafood causing cancer is 1x10^-4 to 1x10^-6. The actual cancer risk from seafood contaminated with PAH is believed to be below 1x10^-4 and could very well be as low as zero. The FDA does oppose the risk assessment of Rotkin Ellman when it comes to the likelihood of seafood contaminated with PAH causing cancer in humans. Most of the data used however is based on average lifetime body weights as well as average lifespan of a human population. The author then goes...

...Introduction In this assignment, I will be talking about legislations, policies, procedures and code of conduct in terms of how it has an effect on Martha’s life. A legislation is a law that is made by the government and is required to be followed. Code of conduct is prompted by legislations and they are a set of rules that outline the responsibilities that people have as a worker. Policies are rules that the company are made to follow.

She also enjoys playing board games as she feels as if it stimulates her brain. However, since Martha joined the care home, she hasn’t been able to leave to do the daily activities that she used to because her carers find it hard to assist her, and other workers are usually too busy. The solution to this problem is for service providers to create a rota so that two carers are always available throughout the day to assist her on her daily activities, so that she can continue to go to the park and interact with her friends. Martha is very independent and likes to do things on her own. She is only assisted with personal care, such as being washed and receiving her medication. Martha occasionally smokes outside of the care home,...
