Question: Looking to your own future savings for retirement, do you agree that you are more likely to save $200 every month with an automatic payroll deduction from your paycheck (versus you manually transferring $200 every month from your checking account into an investment account)? Or do you think that you would save the same amount even without an automatic payroll deduction (you just have to check a few boxes in your online banking accounts)? Support your answer with a brief explanation of your reasoning (i.e., don’t just answer yes or no).
Then comment these two paragraphs.
After watching the ted talk of Prof. Benartzi and knowing the principles, I have with money. I would save more without the automatic payroll deduction from my paycheck. The reason why I know this for a fact is that my relationship with money it is not emotional. I understand the importance of money in certain areas and the role of money in orders. I know for a fact that I tend to keep the money rather than spending in useless things, so using the automatic paycheck would limit my investments in the 401K when I feel it necessary to do it. It also gives me the power to fully control where I want to spend my money, using it for social actions, religious purposes, and implementing businesses relevant to society. With all these regards, I genuinely understand the automatic payroll would be a blessing for many people that cannot control themselves when they have money in their bank account; however, in my case. I believe it would not be necessary because of how diligent I think I am when dealing with money.
Paragraph #2:
I personally believe that I would be more likely to save $200 every month if it were an automatic payroll deduction from my paycheck as opposed to manually transferring the money into an investment account. My priority is to chose the most efficient option which would be the automatic transfer. It would be a lot harder to control my spending behavior if I saw a larger sum of money in my online banking account. For example, if I have $10,000 saved in the account, I will feel like I have $10,000 to spend. If I held a smaller amount of $3,000 in an account I manually control, and I saw a television at the store for $1,000 that I didnt need, I would perceive this as a greater loss as a percentage of the total amount I hold in the account. I believe the least efficient way to save is to chose the option in which you dont separate the savings from the spending money, because then it is difficult to tell the difference.
A county council member of a large county is made aware that many U.S. military members in its county, both men and women veterans, stay in the local area after their military obligation and begin their civilian careers, especially in law enforcement, fire protection, county finance, county judicial, and other state funded positions, where they can transfer their military service to the state pension fund, with an average of four years toward a state retirement. Please identify possible Title VII violations by the alleged council members actions, or their inactions. What would these actions or inactions allegedly prove? 2. What, if any, allegations of Title VII violations should be brought against the Council members?

A county council member of a large county is made aware that many U.S. military members in its county, both men and women veterans, stay in the local area after their military obligation and begin their civilian careers, especially in law enforcement, fire protection, county finance, county judicial, and other state funded positions, where they can transfer their military service to the state pension fund, with an average of four years toward a state retirement. Please identify possible Title VII violations by the alleged council members actions, or their inactions. What would these actions or inactions allegedly prove?
2. What, if any, allegations of Title VII violations should be brought against the Council members?The council member is up for reelection and wants to meet with the nearby military base liaison officers to learn and promote the Countys high employment rate of departing military members, in particular positions that can accelerate their state careers and retirement pensions. The council member even brings former military members, now serving in each of the above county positions, to various military hiring fairs, to speak of their military service, their transition to state service and how their military service jump started their state careers. During some of the hiring fairs, it was asked of the now state employees, what staring salaries would the military members enter into their state positions. Even though many of the uniformed state employees, [i.e., police and fire] once had the same stripes on their uniform sleeves, when the male employees stated their starting salaries, it came as a shock to the female employees. Though they did not say anything at the hiring fairs, upon their return to their district buildings, they brought it up with all their female colleagues. They even had a meeting with their district leadership, and it was confirmed that all female uniformed employees, with the same experience and military rank of their male counterparts, were hired at a rate of 20% less than their male uniformed colleagues. Further research also showed the state non-uniformed female finance and judicial employees were also hired on at a 20% reduction in pay than their male counterparts. During the County Councilmans various meet and greets for his re-election campaign, this pay disparity was brought to his attention, of which he swore he would get to the bottom of this travesty. When the local papers found out, they began their investigations and found out the county council, all males, including the specific council member, had voted for such hiring practices, to take the savings in the female starting salaries and use it for their pay raises. This had been going on for five years, the time of their council periods of office. Once the papers reported their investigations, the County council members were all placed on paid administrative leave, pending the results of the investigation.
You are the County Attorney, and you must gather all the facts and investigative materials, to include many sworn testimonies, suspect hiring documents, other materials to put a case together. As County Attorney, you know the above facts should lead you to probable violations of Title VII Civil Rights Act, but specifically, you are sure.
1. Please identify possible Title VII violations by the alleged council members actions, or their inactions. What would these actions or inactions allegedly prove?
2. What, if any, allegations of Title VII violations should be brought against the Council members?
3. What should the County Attorney consider when victim remedies are discussed?
What should the County change in its hiring practices once this breaking incident has been resolved?

Given the impact the plague had on medieval society, if it happened again, how might it impact you, your family, and your society?
Use the video below and other references below to answer the discussion post. The discussion post should answer the unit question fully, provide specific examples and opinion backed by substantive case study. Task- Given the impact the plague had on medieval society, if it happened again, how might it impact you, your family, and your society? Bring in your own personal experiences, including during the COVID pandemic.Purpose-Sixteenth-century Eurasia was, in part, shaped by the legacy of the Bubonic Plague. Though it broke out in successive waves in the fourteenth century, the sheer loss of life and the social, political, and economic impact it had on the societies it affected left a shadow for centuries to come. Moreover, world historians argue that the plague was not simply a “natural” event. It did not just have a broad set of consequences, it also unfolded in a particular time and place. And that time and place involved social, economic, and political forces as much as biological and environmental ones.
Explain criteria that should be considered when determining credibility of resources such as journal articles and websites. Analyze the credibility and relevance of evidence and resources within the context of a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis.
Assessment 2
Determining the Credibility of Evidence and Resources
Instructions-Develop a 2-4 page scholarly paper in which you describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.
Introduction
The goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a nurse say, “why change it as weve always done it this way.” However, this is no longer acceptable in today’s practice environment. The profession of nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional nurse has a scientific foundation to support the care that is provided. As the profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in health care transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings. The nurse will need to incorporate the use of evidence-based practice models. EBP models are designed to assist the nurse in developing a plan to gather evidence to answer a practice problem or question. It is a systematic approach to direct the user to incorporate scholarly findings into current practice. These EBP models lead the nurse through the decision-making process of evaluating the literature to determine the best practice evidence for the practice issue or question.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
Professional Context
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.
Scenario For this assessment, you may choose from the following options as the context for the quality or safety issue or chosen diagnosis/health issue for researching and completing this assessment:
· The specific diagnosis/health issue you identified in your previous assessment.
· The simulation Vila Health: Determining the Credibility of Evidence.
· A personal practice experience in which a sentinel event occurred.
Instructions- The purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.
Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide exploration:
Evidence-Based Practice Models
Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
Stetler Model
Ottawa Model
PARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) Model
ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star Model
ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration) Mode
John Hopkins Model
KTA (Knowledge-to-Action) Model
For this assessment:
· Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.
· Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.
· Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen scenario for this assessment. For example, if you choose to use the provided Vila Health scenario, your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented issue. However, if you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified. Any of the three scenario options are acceptable. So, pick the one that most interests you.
Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.
