The final paper must contain 12 full pages of content, excluding the title page, abstract and references (bibliography), double-spaced, with standard 1-inch margins and 12-point standard font. You must use APA style for citations. All papers must use a minimum of five primary and five secondary sources. You may use the sources assigned for this course, but you may not count them toward the minimum sources for your project. At least two of your secondary sources must be academic journal articles.Restrict your sources to newspaper articles from major national and international papers, published journals and magazine articles, academic sources, and websites from major organizations and government agencies. Encyclopedias and dictionaries are not appropriate sources for college level work. Online sources are fine, but they must be authoritative sources. The paper must conincide with the attached thesis statement and abstract.
Discuss the outcome or conclusion of the article.
Article Review Choose an article from the Suggested Reading List, or locate another peer-reviewed article on exercises. Create a title page, and write a two-page essay article review (500 words). In the critical analysis, include the following: ? Introduction: Introduce the subject of the article. ? Discussion: Identify and describe the concepts or points in the article. ? Results/Conclusion: Discuss the outcome or conclusion of the article. ? Personal analysis: Describe how the information in the article builds or applies to the material in the textbook about exercises. This unit focuses on training exercises and discusses the following:? the benefits of exercises, ? risk-based scenarios, ? computer-based exercises, ? real-time exercises, ? training and exercise effectiveness, ? exercise outcomes, and ? the annual cycle to effective preparedness. In a local and regional exercise, emergency management, local government, fire services, law enforcement, public works, public health, hospitals, National Guard, and non-governmental organizations can test their individual emergency response plans. Exercises can also test the capabilities of dispatch centers and the emergency operations center. Weaknesses, gaps, and redundancy in response efforts are identified and plans are improved to enhance response capabilities. Response agencies also test their equipment and become familiar with resources from other agencies. Exercises further allow response agencies the opportunity to communicate and interact with each other, and establish interpersonal relationships that break-down turf barriers. Participants learn the names, roles, responsibilities, and capabilities of personnel in other response agencies. Exercises also provide the opportunity for agencies to interact within the Incident Command System (ICS). This interagency collaboration allows the testing of communications, capabilities, and cooperation. First responders have the opportunity to rehearse their roles and test their capabilities within the Incident Command System. Deficits in training are identified that require additional efforts. Participants also test their physical and mental capabilities to work individually and within a group setting with other response agencies (Afshari, Cervone, Seaton, Taylor, & Rudy, 2008). Exercise scenarios are based on past threats and potential future threats. They provide the opportunity for agencies and organizations to train and test their response capabilities as an individual organization or with UNIT V STUDY GUIDE Developing an Emergency Operations Plan MSE 5301, Interagency Disaster Management 2 multiple response units from surrounding areas. The full benefit of an exercise is realized when all participants are actively involved in the exercise. Each region of the country experiences different types of natural disasters. For example, hurricanes and tornadoes are harmful to populations and cause extensive damage to property. The National Weather Service is able to predict the oncoming of hurricanes that allows time for first response agencies to activate emergency preparedness plans. In contrast, tornado warnings can be issued to the population, although the path of touch-down and time element is unknown. Emergency response plans also include annexes with specific responses to man-made disasters within the community like a nuclear energy plant, factories, or a chemical plant. Exercises with scenarios based on an incident at an identified plant allow first responders to train with other responders and test their equipment. Although a fore warning of an imminent risk is not always provided, emergency responders can prepare and train for the event. Likewise, the potential of a terrorist event is unknown, but an emergency response plan, standard operation procedures, training, and exercises can help first responders to respond to the event. Exercises further allow first response organizations to train together and test their equipment, using the Incident Command System when a mutual aid agreement is activated for a large disaster. Moreover, communication between agencies, dispatch centers, and emergency operations centers is tested. Suggested Reading Beedasy, J., & Ramloll, R. (2010).

Discuss why the case is important. Include political, social, cultural, etc. importance.
Supreme Court Case ReflectionThis Supreme Court Case Reflection is brief at least 300 but not more than 600 words written double-spaced Times New Roman 12 point, one inch margins. Its worth up to 20 points.Your Reflection should, of course, be based on any court case from the following list. You should include, as with any assignment you ever do for any class, citations to any sources you consult. Use a standard MLA format Works Cited page. Ensure that I can easily navigate to any source you cite. Im actually less worried about the technical detail of constructing proper citations than I am my ability easily hopefully with one click to access any source you use, assuming you use online sources. If you use other, non-online sources, be sure to use an appropriate citation.Here are the court cases you may choose from:Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. Hialeah (1993)Snyder v. Phelps (2010)Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association (2011)Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans (2015)Edwards v. Aguillard (1987)Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition (2002)Abington School District v. Schempp (1963)Engel v. Vitale (1962)In your Reflection you shoulda) Briefly (VERY! briefly. Not more than one short paragraph or youll lose credit.) describe the case in your own words. You may assume Im familiar with the case and only need the briefest description as a reminder. If you spend a lot of time describing the detail of the case you will lose a lot of points. I know the story and this is not a book report. Move on to the following items!b) Discuss why the case is important. Include political, social, cultural, etc. importance.c) Discuss any subsequent developments that have resulted from the decision, if any.d) Give your personal assessment of the decision.It is critical that you remember not to simply cut and paste, or use too much of the actual wording of sources. Plagiarism is not acceptable, as you know. In an assignment like this, I have found that it is easy for students to use too many of the words of the source, without even realizing it. Be mindful so that you do not lose credit. One thing you can do is check the SafeAssignment upload after you have completed it. You will be able to see how much of your submission was flagged by SafeAssign. If you look and think theres a problem, you can let me know and we can work it out so that you can submit it again, so long as it is before the due date.Also remember that quoting long stretches from a source is not appropriate, even if you cite it correctly. In an assignment this short, (and this is VERY short) quoting more than a line or two is too much. This assignment is supposed to be your work. Not someone elses.The point of this assignment is for you to think deeply about the case and its significance to American law and society. What does the case mean? Why is it important? What legal doctrine is at stake? What in society was changed by the case? What impact has it had since it was decided? What other cases have cited it to support other decisions?Do not necessarily try to answer all those questions. And do not necessarily limit yourself to only these questions. They are simply intended to give you a start on the kinds of things you should be thinking about.

What does this mean in the sense of how much the federal government (i.e., tax payers) is financing care for the Medicare beneficiaries?
1. Medicaid Questions a. The article titled Understanding the Intersection of Medicaid and Work states that 51% of non-elderly (i.e., 19-64) able-bodied adults in Medicaid (most of them eligible given the ACA Medicaid expansion option) are working full-time for the entire year. The article also states that 40% of the Medicaid individuals that are working, are employed by small firms and are involved in agriculture and service industries. The income eligibility threshold to qualify for Medicaid is very low (approximately $16,000 per year), do you think these individuals could purchase insurance in the private market? Why? c. Yes/No question: Does Medicaid provide assistance to beneficiaries?2. Medicare Questions a. According to the article titled Budget Explainer: Medicare, in 2017, 42% of Medicare costs will covered by general federal revenue (i.e., general federal taxes) as opposed to payroll taxes, premiums, and other receipts in 2017. What does this mean in the sense of how much the federal government (i.e., tax payers) is financing care for the Medicare beneficiaries? b. Given your response in 2.a., do you consider Medicare to be a socialist-like program? Independent of your response, do you support continuation of the Medicare program? (for purposes of this question, assume the program will be solvent). b. Yes/No question: are the majority of individuals who are 65 or older covered by Medicare?1. a. Are you in favor of the federal government subsidizing private insurance for low-income individuals in the health insurance exchange? Why? If you support the Medicare program but do not support the health insurance exchange subsidies, please explain your rationale. b. What two population groups within Medicaid are responsible for the largest program expenditures? Is there a realistic way to reduce the expenditures for these two groups? (hint: check Exhibit 9.1. in p. 120 of book)2. Some people argue that free market competition would resolve all the problems of our health care system. This theory assumes that the healthcare approximate a perfect market. After reading Chapter 20 and the article titled The Imperfect Health-Care Market: a. Do you think our health care system is a perfect or an imperfect system? (the question calls for your response in regard to the economic term (i.e., perfect market); we already know the system isnt perfect). b. Independent of your response in 2.a., do you think that the traditional market forces without any government regulation can resolve the problems with our healthcare system? Why?
