...Homeland Security policies of President George W. Bush & Harry S. Truman Tasheika Fulmore Strayer University Professor Shelly Taylor Homeland Security Policies of George W. Bush and Harry S. Truman Over the years the citizens of the United States have had to either sit or seethe when a policy was passed by a president or they benefited from the policy implementation. We find examples in the civil rights act or most recently Obama care when it comes to looking at highly protested policies. However, no matter the feeling or benefit, presidents are expected to make policies. This paper will focus on two specific polices that deal directly with homeland security and will focus in on the presidents that created and enforced these policies. According to Robert Harvey (2008) ever since post WWII the U.S. has had a conflicted attitude towards safety. The author of this paper will coagulate a time line of two presidents and their desire to appease the safety view of Americans. For example, President George W. Bush and his homeland security act which grew out of the issues that arose after the 9/11 attacks. And also President Harry S. Truman’s national security bill which established the Department of Defense during the cold war. Each president had his own motive for signing these national security bills, but each bill grew out of similar problems that they each faced during their presidential areas. Both, presidents were under huge public pressure to make a decision...

...Chinese restaurants. It was served with a spicy black bean sauce, which I found to be interesting because I never thought of that as a Japanese flavor. However, I must say I have never tasted a better flavor to go along with edamame. Also as an appetizer, I ordered the Philadelphia Cream Cheese Wonton, which was my favorite part of the meal. This dish definitely had an American feel to go along with the Asian style because of the cream cheese. They were deep-fried and served hot with a sweet duck sauce to dip them in. They were unbelievable. Next up was my entrée! I decided to order the Chicken Pad Thai, which is a traditional Thai dish. The rice noodles were stir fried with carrots and scallions in a traditional Mandarin sweet and spicy Pad Thai sauce. The sauce included a hint of Thai curry, which blended all the flavors of spicy, sweet, and peanut into a delectable dish. I have had many Pad Thai dishes before, but this one was right up there with the best of them. Being at an Asian restaurant, I decided to go away from my norm and picked the Green Tea Crème Brulee. I was very interested to see how it would come out considering Crème Brulee is a French dessert that is usually flavored with vanilla. Green Tea has Asian origins, which is why they used that flavor. The dessert was not my favorite, but I had to try what is customary to the restaurant. Overall, this meal was delicious and I plan on returning in the near...

...CASE 35 A Sea Launch Recovery? CIRCA 2008 Sea Launch engineers say the three-week round-trip journey across the Pacific Ocean is the most rewarding part of their jobs. The cruise is the culmination of nearly two months of work preparing the rocket, payload, and launch teams for the mission. Prior to operations at Home Port, about 18 months goes into the planning, flight design, and logistics. “It’s really nice to know most of the reviews are over and we’re finally ready to launch,” said Bill Rujevcan, mission director for the company’s next flight. More than 300 people take the trip to the company’s equatorial launch site about 1,400 miles south of Hawaii. The crew includes workers from several nations, including: Ukraine, Russia, Norway, the Philippines, and the United States. Ukraine-based Yuzhnoye and Yuzhmash build the Zenit 3SL rocket’s first and second stages, while Energia of Russia manufactures the Block DM-SL upper stage for the rocket. Norwegian ship officers manage marine operations, and Filipino deckhands work on both the Sea Launch Commander and the Odyssey launch platform. U.S. employees from the Boeing Co. fill management roles and provide the flight design, payload fairing, and satellite adapter. Astrotech, a contractor, oversees processing of customer payloads inside a clean room at the company’s Payload Processing Facility at Home Port in Long Beach, California. After 27 missions in nine years of business, Sea Launch is thriving in the do-or-die...

...Graphic Design IT/236 Introduction to Web Design I May 20th 2015 Professor Frank Futyma Project Proposal: Graphic Design My website, LVsplashpads.com, will be incorporating a few different plug-ins and multimedia features. When the site is first introduced, I anticipate to only having pictures from splash pads from around the city, however, I would eventually like to have live streams available of specific splash pads if possible. I would like to set up a feature where user’s of the website may upload small video’s to the website and they can be broadcast to everyone who logs in, so they can see the conditions of a specific splash pad as well as how busy it may be on that particular day. I would like to include small videos that I will personally upload to the site, showing a brief walk through each park for all users to view when they would like. Graphics will most definitely make up a majority of my site, as it will give the user a visual of the place that they would like to visit. I will have a few scattered pictures of random splash pads incorporated on the main page, however, I will have a specific page on the site where I will put all other splash pad pictures as well as give users a chance to upload their own! I know it is out of the spectrum of things that I could include now but having a live feed on my page is something that I would like to have and having the ability to load graphics onto this live feed would be very interesting in my opinion. I believe...

...that the encryption type used was substitution. Here, ciphertext were used to replace the plaintext. As an Intelligence Personnel, I would have done couple of things differently. Even though the Choctaw Codetalkers and Enigma Encryption Device were direct results of the failure of Zimmerman Telegram, the latter was used by the United States during the same period of World War 1. It is important to note here that there was already an encryption method which must have been ignored by the Germans. The One-Time Pad was already in use before the start of World War 1. This encryption method according to Nicholas G. McDonald in his Research Review explained that the one-time pad encryption algorithm was invented in the early 1900's, and has since been proven as unbreakable. The one time algorithm is derived from a previous cipher called Vernam Cipher, named after Gilbert Vernam. The Vernam Cipher was a cipher that combined a message with a key read from a paper tape or pad. The Vernam Cipher was not unbreakable until Joseph Mauborgne recognized that if the key was completely random the cryptanalytic difficultly would be equal to attempting every possible key. Another point worthy of mention is the mistake of sending the entire message in one transaction. As an Intelligence Officer I would have broken the message in shorter telegrams. The chances of intercepting all of the messages would have been very slim. McDonald, N. 2009 Past, Present, and Future Methods of Cryptography and...

...afterward to prevent trauma to tissue”. Before beginning, be sure to sit the patient up to avoid aspiration. To clean a disposable cannula, unlock, remove then soak it into normal saline. “Immerse inner cannula in sterile solution and clean inside and outside of cannula using tube brush or pipe cleaners. Rinse cannula in sterile solution” (Lewis 510). If there are secretions around the stoma then use 4x4 gauze pads that have been wet with sterile saline/water to clean. SCVMC’s policy specifically states to “clean in circular motion from the stoma outward”. Both EBP and the policy advise that when changing the tracheostomy ties, leave enough space for 2 fingers underneath to make sure that it isn’t too tight (“Tracheostomy Tube: Care and Suctioning” 2014). During change of ties, make sure that the assistant doesn’t let go of the tracheostomy until the new ties are in place incase the tube dislodges. If care is being performed alone, make sure that the previous ties aren’t cut off until the new ones are put on (Potter 867) EBP suggests that after cleaning/caring for the tracheostomy, put a dressing if there is excessive drainage (Lewis 510). On the other hand, SCVMC’s policy instructs to place a “fresh” dressing after each time of care. At SCVMC, the policy instructs to perform tracheostomy care Q8H or PRN (“Tracheostomy Tube: Care and Suctioning” 2014). According to EBP, No evidence suggests a particular schedule of dressing changes or specific supplies for secretion absorption...

...Health Care Reform Pros and Cons Halcyone Russell Strayer University Professor Beth Cox Politics, Policy And Ethics in Public Sector- PAD 510 December 2, 2011 Scientific evidence can be used in showing the positives of the Health Care Reform. If you lost your job next week your insurance would likely go with it. Excluding temporary programs like COBRA, losing your job basically means losing your health insurance too. Sure you can buy your own, but that can get expensive and there are often holes in the policy than with employer provided health insurance. Under a universal system, you don’t have to worry. Imagine you had to pay each month for access to use the police. If you lost your job and couldn’t afford the police bill and called 911, you wouldn’t get service. That sure sounds awful. The most fundamental underlying basis of universal health care is the fact that in the system, you don’t have to worry about not being covered. The United States spends more on health care as a percentage of GDP than any other developed nation. Countries that have some kind of universal coverage generally spend less. This is because the costs of a universal system are less than private. Drugs can be purchased in greater bulk, prices for services can be negotiated at a lower rate due to the larger pool, and a large singular system would reduce the overhead involved in processing insurance and medical services. Furthermore we already have laws in the US that require emergency rooms...

Neely, Jr. PAD 510 Introduction to Public Policy Analysis July 21, 2013 Running Head: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE 2 Historical Perspective Discuss the historical perspective of the time when each policy was discussed or implemented. What was the context of the problem of the day and the urgency for the policy? The Policies Recent American health care and foreign policies were discussed over a span of two different administrations. President Bill Clinton began addressing the gaping problems in the health care system in 1993 and President Barack Obama continued to seek national health solutions in 2009. President G.H. Bush was considered adept at crafting strong foreign policies. George W. Bush experienced the same sentiment until close to the end of his presidency. Historical perspective of the health care policies President Clinton’s health care policy, also known as the Health Security Act was designed by a task force chaired by his wife Hilary Rodham Clinton Health care reform had been a staple of Clinton’s presidential campaign and he fully intended to deliver on his promise with a package palatable to both parties and to the public. On September 22, 1993 he addressed Congress and unveiled...

...Keziah Stephens Assignment 1: Historical Perspective PAD 510: Introduction to Public Policy Dr. Phillip Neely Strayer University April 22, 2014 One thing is common across any walk of life shelter is a necessity that cannot be avoided or neglected. Housing is not always affordable to every citizen, but that should not stop people from having a place to lay their head at night. In this assignment two state policies proposals will be discussed and they are Assistant Rental Housing and Housing for seniors and disabled workers. Within discussing what these organizations consist of there will also be discussion of the historical perspective of the policies and the reason they were enacted. Next, an analysis of the social, economic, and political environments of when the policies were passed. Also, the interest groups that are for and against the policies. Lastly, the change that the policies have affected within different communities around the country. Some people are able to afford extravagant housing but for people who can no longer work or cannot manage to pay for of their bills these policies help change their lives. Assistance for housing began under a new deal act, which was the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Under this Act people who had lost their homes under different circumstances were able to receive housing. Also, under many acts that would follow the original act many different programs were put in place to help such as Housing and Community and Development Act...

...Petrochemicals and their byproducts, such as dioxin, are known to cause an array of serious health problems, including cancers and endocrine disruption. Of the more than 75,000 chemicals registered with the Environmental Protection Agency, only a fraction have gone through complete testing to find out whether they might cause problems for human health. Many that are produced in enormous quantities have never been tested at all. Usually, it takes dramatic episodes of workplace injuries or wildlife poisonings, combined with rigorous scientific proof of harm and public outcry, before the government will act to restrict or ban any chemical. And that is no accident. The current regulatory system allows synthetic chemicals into our lives unless proven beyond doubt to be dangerous. Terms Dioxins are not intentionally manufactured. They are unintentionally formed as byproducts of chemical processes involving chlorine, such as the manufacture of pesticides and the bleaching of paper. The manufacture and incineration of plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC, commonly used in consumer product packaging and medical devices) is another major source of dioxin. Two of the most serious health effects of dioxin exposure are cancer and endocrine disruption. The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and hormones that regulate many of the body's functions including growth, development, and maturation, and the way various organs operate. The endocrine glands –- including the pituitary...

The research proves that the reformation of the Blue Print has greatly increased in the education of all children to indulge in a higher education. This reformation has not only help with the children but the welfare of the economy and the communities as well. The report identifies key elements of the policy and makes recommendations for future policy development identifying official and unofficial actors, interest groups, the influence of two of those actors, their influence in further development of the policy Executive Summary A substantial body of evidence has shown that past reforms have largely failed to improve schools, but The Blue Print for Reform along with the Rise to The Top Program (RTTT) has made a significant change in education. The Blueprint for Reform builds on the significant reforms already made in response to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 around four areas: (1) Improving teacher and principal effectiveness...
