...Task 1(A) Global Marketplace Activity (A1) Being the largest hospital corporation in the world, with over 160 hospitals, 100 surgical clinics, and a never ending amount of specialty facilities, supplies are an essential component to the successful day to day operations. In the event that those supplies were not able to be delivered on time, the possibility of not being able to provide properly for our patients would be immense. And with the company receiving certain supplies from all over the world, it is very possible that due to measures beyond the hospital corporations control or the supplying company that delivery of supplies could be delayed due to inclement weather, natural or manmade disasters. This in turn could have a substantial impact to the quality of care provided and received. In addition, the hospital corporation is also a key component to several ongoing research projects for treatment, cures and vaccinations for various diseases and infections, all of which rely on the supplies provided by other research facilities or specialty supplies provided by specific supply companies who could be impacted by these potential disasters, which would debilitate and prolong the success of the research projects effected. Risk Source (A2) The source for the first risk identified would be nothing more than age and continual use. The boiler at the Disaster Recovery site is the original boiler for the building which is approximately 50 years old, and even though the...

...Project Revisions When a project begins there may be revisions on how the structure and management of the project. Because this project is planning and executing a wedding, the project is bound to various factors. The factors can change the successful execution of the wedding and completion in various ways. One factor is the weather, which is an outdoor wedding’s most unpredictable factor. The wedding may face rain, extreme wind, and other weather conditions. Poor weather conditions will make the wedding difficult to manage because the location is outdoors. The next factor is the delay of vendors delivering supplies on time, causing the project schedule to change. A revision could be the lack of money, and this comes with the change in the time frame of orders, especially if there is a need for a new vendor. The less notice a vendor has to complete an order, the more expensive the supplies become, leaving less money for other expenses. Another factor that could affect the timeline of the project is if the client decides to postpone or cancel the event. The last factor is the lack of clear communication. One person may be thinking to complete a task should one way that may have been incorrect, and he or she may have to re-do their task as a result of his or her misunderstanding.

...Typhoon Haiyan The Philippines have encountered several typhoons this year due to its geographical location. The country has been expecting these occurrences and has been aiming to lessen the casualties for each. However, early in November, the country has been warned about the super typhoon that is approaching. Despite the early warning, the group is curious why there is still a large amount of casualties? Project Description This project is a 5 minute documentary film which tackles climate change and philosophy. It would portray how the richer countries perceive this global issue and their stand on it. Do these countries ignore climate change because they have not felt its wrath? Or is Super Typhoon Haiyan an “eye opener” for the said countries? This project aims to show human responsibility and human suffering as well. Are we, humans, liable for what happened? Methodology and Timelines First, the group will research about typhoon haiyan, climate change and the philosophical aspects, which would last for 5 days (November 16-20). Through this, we would be more knowledgeable about what we will present. After which, a plot would be created, brainstorming with the team to produce the best output. The group aims to finish this in 3 days (November 21-23). Following the plot, the documentary filmmaking would take place, which would be on November 24 until December 4. We are targeting on finishing this as early as possible so we would have ample time to revise the film...

...Are there differences between living in Puerto Rico and living in the United States? I believe that there are big differences. I came to the United States when I was fifteen years old. Although, I am currently living in the United States, I always go back to Puerto Rico to visit my family. I love it there. I like living in the United States but there are many things that differ from Puerto Rico such as food, education and weather. Puerto Rico has variety of Spanish food that make you go there. Puerto Rico’s food is one of the best reasons to visit the island. It is diverse, rich, and flavorful with a combination of rice, beans, meat and fish fried. Puerto Rico cooking is somewhat similar to both Spanish and other Hispanic cuisines. It’s is a unique blend of influences. In Puerto Rico they cook rice with beans as a weekly menu. Traditional foods remind us of who we are, what we like, and those we love. In contrast the United States has variety of food from all over the world. Their food is a combination of everything because it has a lot of different people from other countries. Also, you can find Spanish food, Italian food, Mexican food, etc. The American people adopted a style of life, so they eat a lot of junk food, so there is high percentage of fast food places. In what I seemed American people tend to eat nachos, hot dogs and cheese burger instead of eating rice with beans. The style of education in Puerto Rico based in schools. In the other hand, their education comprehensive...

...Summer vs. Winter What is your favorite season? Is it summer, like mine is, because of the warm weather? Or, is it winter because of the snow and Christmas? Summer and winter have few similarities, yet many big differences. The first big difference between summer and winter is the weather. In the summertime it is usually warm and sunny and fun to be outside. You can go swimming, to the beach, sum bathe, go boating, and all of those fun summer activities everyone looks forward to. In the wintertime most people think of coldness, but you can still have fun. You can go ice skating, sledding, and skiing. In the winter you see a lot about car accidents do to the messy weather, but in the summer you don't so much. Many people hate winter, because it is so cold and miserable. The cold temperatures and weather can greatly affect your mood and emotional habits. It's the time of year when people are reporting feeling depressed because of the dark, cold winter months. The less sunlight, the more down people feel. Another thing is that you don't have school in the summer. You can enjoy a great amount of free time and do pretty much whatever you want. In the wintertime everyone is going crazy over Christmas, shopping, and traveling to see relatives. Summer is a very lazy and relaxed enjoyable season. Winter is more hectic and busy, and there sometimes are family conflicts because of this holiday season. Although winter is a very hectic and stressful season, it's great to get together...

...Problems at JetBlue Debate Stephanie Benson XBIS/219 August 23, 2013 Richard Wallace Problems at JetBlue Debate I think that some things that contributed to the meltdown at JetBlue was how disorganized they were without knowing it. It seemed the decision they had made to wait for the weather to get better was made because they wanted to be known as the best. But instead it ended in failure because the more time they waited for the weather to clear the worse the weather kept getting. In this time period it brought in more people hoping to catch a flight with JetBlue since they remained open without canceling any flights. This added to the chaos by building up the hopes of people trying to get to their destinations. When this didn’t happen they had a lot of angry people and no backup plan in place. Since New York has always had this type of weather during the winter season I would have made sure there was a plan in place in case we had to cancel flights. I would plan for the worst and if didn’t happen than at least we would have been prepared. If weather worsened to the point that it started to freeze than I would have started cancelling flights slowly so we wouldn’t be bombarded all at once with people trying to call and cancel. Having some type of system in place for people to cancel online would have been my first priority and I would put this plan in place way before something like this ever had a chance of happening. I think this plan should have been put...

Find a way to bring myself back home to you That may be all I need In darkness, she is all I see Come and rest your bones with me Driving slow on Sunday morning Driving slow It's flower in your hair I'm a flower in your hair Send "Sunday Morning" Ringtone to your Cell ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Bottom of Form...

...many life-changing situations in past 3 years. These situations have had both positive and negative impacts to me. My goals from 5 years ago compare to my current goals are totally different. After finishing 12th grade, I just wanted to become a Mathematics teacher, so I went to Hue University and tried my best to achieve the goal. However, when I was the 2nd year student of the Hue University, I found that I was no longer interested in becoming a teacher. Hence, I dropped the school and wanted to get a better education in Canada and seek opportunities in accounting. Since then, my life has changed. On one hand, starting my new life in a strange country is so hard. When I just came, I faced many difficulties, such as the language, the weather and the life style. Firstly, language was a big matter when I first came. Speaking was one of the linguistic problems for me when I had just stepped in the country. Not only speaking, but also I faced a difficulty when they wrote some words for the certain purpose. Thus, I had enrolled in the ESL course in this school for 6 months before I started the academic program. Now, my...

...the assumption that oil will be plentiful forever and increase in gas prices leaves people moving out of suburbs and into cities to save money. With a shock to the economy with rising food prices as a result people will be forcing the government to take the easy way out by making no change. Creating more coal based plants we affect the planet by warming it up faster than looking for better environmental options. Another Lucy states will be change in landscape because rising temperatures and pattern changes of weather, as some wildlife will be forced to move where it’s colder leaving others without any viable habitat putting our wildlife at risk. However, this also will raise sea levels because of thermal expansion potentially putting low-lying cities at risk. This alone would result in the flooding of low coastal areas and cities, driving people to immigrate into other part of the country generating a strain on producing food. As problems due to changes in the weather patterns, we are experiencing increased hurricanes, floods, and other unusual...

...paying a friend $100/game to assist. According to the information presented in (A) and (B), I do believe Julia should hire her friend for $100 per game. It would be difficult for Julia to prepare all of the food needed within the amount of time to reach her goal, so she will need the additional help. If she is borrowing extra money from another friend, she would be able to pay the help for the time spent helping at the game because the $158.88 she borrowed will allow her to do so. (D) Analyze the impact of uncertainties on the model. An impact of uncertainty on the model would be that the weather could cause people to not attend the game. If the weather is rainy, then many people may not attend as they would if it was sunny. All together what if the game is cancelled because of weather? With this being an issue, Julia may not reach her goal of $1000 per game. In addition to the weather, the pizza company Julia negotiated the deal with...

...barn contains a few pigs, cows, and chickens. She always has had a dog inside the house, currently a caramel colored Boxer named Sammy. About a mile from each side of her house are two big farms. One farm grows different crops such as hay and corn. The other farm has many cows roaming around inside of a fenced area while grazing on hay. There is also an oval shaped pond in her backyard. After a long day I always swim in the pond and in the middle of it there is a huge navy blue raft I swim to and sit on for a while. The pond also stocked with fish so it’s fun to go fishing in too. I love visiting my grandma during the summer because it is very peaceful and eventful. Another reason I enjoy being in Tennessee is the extremely beautiful weather that it has. There are consistent hot and sunny temperatures. In the summer it is usually around 80-100+ degrees outside. During this time I’m never occupied in the house at all and I’m pretty much living in shorts and tank tops throughout the whole summer. Every once in a while Tennessee experiences a tropical storm. When it rains the temperature drops 10 or 20 degrees. The storms causes a lot of wind gusting from every direction, trees bending, and leafs getting pulled off of trees flying in the air wherever the wind takes them. Again, it is rarely ever cold there. Since it is not cold...
