Scenario:
As the newly appointed safety manager at a large plastics manufacturing company, you are called to the loading dock to find that a large truck, full of cartons of pellets used in the manufacturing process, is engulfed in flames. The truck slid on ice in the parking area and crashed into empty trailers. A call to the city emergency services indicated that they will be delayed indefinitely due to roads made impassible by the ice storm. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the pellets indicates that burning releases toxic smoke. Note that larger companies are likely to have their own emergency response teams equipped and trained to handle the most likely hazards found at the site.
Assignment:
Prepare an Incident Action Plan that includes all of the requirements shown below. Respond to each bullet point based on what you know of the situation. Clearly state any assumptions you make in your plan. The list is a subset of the United States Department of Health & Human Services’ suggested comprehensive Incident Action Plan available at www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/.
Identify at least two incident goals (i.e., where the response system should be at the end of response) and at least two operational objectives (i.e., major areas that must be addressed in the specified operational period to achieve the goals or control objectives).
Describe at least two response strategies (i.e., priorities and the general approach to accomplish the operational objectives) and at least two response tactics (i.e., specific methods developed to achieve the response strategies).
Prepare an organization list showing at least three primary roles and an assignment list with at least three specific tasks and their owners.
Explain a health and safety plan (to prevent responder injury or illness) that includes at least three provisions to ensure personnel safety.
Summarize a communications plan (how functional areas can exchange information) with at least a primary and secondary method of communication.
Locate the incident using a map or precise verbal description that allows responders to find the area and indicate an area that non-responders should avoid.

A local county police chief’s association, in conjunction with the General Sessions Court judges are investigating the viability of video arraignments to save the Court (and local law enforcement agencies) time and money. Your consulting group has been hired to investigate the benefits and costs of such a system. Savings will include reducing the time and money required for two law enforcement personnel per arraignment in transporting, guarding, and returning prisoners, times the number of prisoners transported (use local data for these calculations). The data used needs to be local to Columbia, South Carolina.
Costs will include the hard ware and software packages and installation of dedicated service lines to each participating agency, training costs to update personnel in the use of the new technology, and system maintenance costs. A model policy and procedure will also be needed to detail how the new arraignment system will work on a day-to-day basis.

Extra Credit, (2 – 4 pages) Listening Analysis Paper,
One extra credit opportunity will be provided. Pretend you are a mapmaker, a cartographer. Your duty is to create a visual map for other people to visually navigate a sonic musical work. Write a “SoundMap” of Chet Udell’s piece, Avian Chimæras. The framework for your analysis must include the following:
1) Timing indicators (mm:ss) of major events you choose to include
2) Denis Smalley’s 4 modes of listening must be used to explain the events.
This may be in essay, play-by-play, or visual graph format (graphs with prose interspersed are interesting).
Some features to include might be: major sections or environments, return and repetition of major sections/sounds, notable transitions from one sound to another, dramatic arch, silences, repetitions of melodic figures, introduction of new sounds or events, whatever your ear tells you is important.
Remember, you do not have to annotate each individual sound – just the major features. See “Cartographer’s Dilemma.” You must choose what is important to include and what to leave out.
Ex) 1:30 – Bird chirps transform into vocal machine rhythmic patterns (Smalley listening mode 1)

Topic: Theory Critique on Jean Watson (Nurse Theorist)

Topic: Death of a Salesman

In an essay, identify three instances of irony in the play, and explain what is ironic about each. Relate these instances of irony to a theme in the play.

Discuss the difference between film as a medium and the cinema as a practice in contemporary culture. Explain how evolving digital technologies have altered the way in which movies are: 1) created, 2) distributed, and 3) exhibited, with a special emphasis on how media convergence has affected these categories. Your response should consider how these issues may or may not alter what constitutes “new media.”

*For this project, the goal is to GATHER THE EVIDENCE OF DISCRIMINATION. Interview 2 people for the Age discrimination experience: age, neighborhood, relationship to you, then ask yourself the question: “How is this person’s experience with growing old different from what you have read?” Suggest a number of possible areas you think your interviewee’s life is different from the facts you have read.
*The discrimination you plan to research can include HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, and/or SCHOOL AGAINST ANY OF THE MINORITY ETHNIC GROUPS (Blacks, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Latinos, and Native Americans). Age is often issue in any discrimination. Try to include as many of the following topics:
• Migration history to trace the history of the senior from childhood to current residence in Southern California. (Place of birth. Where did the person spend his/her childhood, teenage years, and adulthood?) (What brought the person to the LA area?)
• Inter-generational relations and old age support. (Living arrangements: living alone, with spouse, co-residence, quasi-co residence or other arrangements.)
• Financial Support (Financial Arrangement: personal savings, children’s contribution, pensions or social security income, current work income, etc.)
• Companionship and Social Support (Family Support: companionship and social support from children, grandchildren and other relatives.) (Extra-familial informal social support: (social networks of friends for exercise, shopping, meals and trips.)) (Extra-familial formal social support: (e.g.) Meals on Wheels and other services provided by Aging Agencies, homecare worker and hospital services))
• To Be Old & Ethnic (or the minority majority in LA) (What are the things that made you happy in your old age? How is your old age different from your expectations? How does your interviewee’s old age experience differ from the old age experience indicated in your readings? What cultural and ethnic generalities could you say about your elderly interviewee?
Another form of evidence of discrimination is what people tell you. The person who is a victim of discrimination is a witness of a form of discrimination. Therefore, you want to interview a person who is quite old and ask about the person’s experience with discrimination. Questions can include the What, When, Where, How, Why type of question. You should gather as much detail as possible. California before or around the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The number of elderly interviewed can be 2-3.
You may also find evidence of discrimination in advertisements in old newspapers. Sometimes those items are newsworthy and therefore written up as news.

The mission of the Church is unchanging despite cultural influences. However, the form of ministry used by the Church is readily influenced by culture. In this assignment, you will analyze the interrelation of culture with the mission and form of the Church’s universal and local ministries.
General Requirements:
• Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
• Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
• This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.
• You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center. Only Word documents can be submitted to Turnitin.
Directions:
In an essay of 1,250 to 1,500 words, analyze the interrelation of culture with the mission and form of the Church’s universal and local ministries (parachurch or local church). Your essay should include the following:
1. An analysis of the mission of the local ministry and its goals relative to the unchanging mission of the Church, delivered by Jesus Christ at its inception. What are some core goals of the local ministry? Do these goals align with the unchanging mission of the Church?
2. A critique of the form of the local ministry relative to its target culture. What are some key expressions of the local ministry? Are these expressions relevant to the target culture? Why and how so?
3. An analysis of the encroachment of culture on the Church and on the local ministry. Describe where the ministry and mission of the Church may have become unclear or distorted, “conformed to this world,” (Rom 12:2) as a result of syncretism. What are some pressures from the dominant culture to which the Church has conformed? How can the Church correct the resulting distortion of its message and ministry?
