As Chapter 11 in your textbook notes, the costs for health care have risen dramatically and are expected to continue to rise. While Medicare is a public insurance program that provides coverage to almost everyone who is 65 and older, it only covers a portion of health care expenses. In fact, the authors of your textbook note that “if current trends continue, by 2030 half of those aged 65 and older will spend more than 25% of their income on medical bills and insurance premiums” (Markson & Stein, 2012).

After reading Chapter 11 in your textbook and watching “Aging America and Healthcare Reform,” please address each of the following:

  1. Compare and contrast the services provided to older individuals under Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B.
  2. Compare and contrast the health care services provided under Medicare versus Medicaid. Be sure to address how each program is funded, what they cover, who qualifies for them, and what role each plays in paying for health care of the elderly population.
  3. Discuss the current funding for Medicare and why there is debate regarding the program.
  4. What changes (if any) do you think that there will be in the Medicare program over the next 20 years?
  5. Do you believe that the eligibility requirements should be changed in order to receive the health services provided by Medicare? Why or why not?

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

hi,

im taking COSC109008 which is lab class. im looking for someone helps me with my lab home work.

Our first moviewill be an animation showing a nature scene. We will create a movie showing the sun rise and a cloud flying in the sky. The movie will also have credits which show who created this movie. This movie will have one scene, 40 frames and four layers.

Procedure

  1. Use Start / Prog Use Start / Programs / Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6 / Adobe Flash Professional CS6 to start Flash. Select File / Create New/ ActionScript 3.0. To ensure that all controls are shown on the screen, select View / Magnification / Show All, and select View/Preview Mode/Full. The properties window should show to the right of your screen by default. If you don’t see this window, select Window / Properties to open it.
  2. Flash has a dialog box called Document Properties that allows you to change the main characteristics of your movie. The default background for each movie is white. Our movie will show the sky, so we would like to change the color of the background to blue. Select Modify / Document and in the dialog box that appears, click on the Background Color button. In the color palette that then appears, click on a light blue shade for your background. Then click OK.
  3. Create a sun. To help with this step, refer to the picture above. To make your sun, click and hold the rectangle tool, then select the oval tool. Use it to drag out a medium sized circle in the lower left portion of the stage. To fill your circle, choose the Paint Bucket tool in the Toolbox. Then click on the Fill Color button in the Toolbox, and in the color palette than appears, choose an appropriate color for your sun. Finally, click the Paint Bucket tool inside your sun to fill the sun with your chosen color.
  4. Animate your sun. Select the Pointer Tool in the upper left corner of the Drawing Toolbox. Select all of the sun (the interior and the outline) by drawing a rectangle around the sun. Next, choose Insert / Classic Tween. Flash converts your sun automatically to a symbol (placing it in the library).
  5. Define the final position of your sun. Click directly under the timeline in frame 40, the final frame of our animation. We want to use 40 keyframes to make the sun rise from the lower left to the upper right. This means that in frame 40, the sun will be in its final position, at the upper right of the screen. Choose Insert / Timeline / Keyframe to make this a keyframe. Notice the solid arrow between frame 1 and frame 40 signifying a successful motion tween. Now we move the sun to its position in frame 40. With frame 40 still selected, single click on your sun to select it and drag it to its final position in the upper right area of the stage.
  6. Change the color of your sun. Note that unlike a real sunrise, your sun does not change color as it rises. In this step, you will make your sun change color as it rises. Select frame 1, click on your sun once to select it. In the Properties Window (to the right of the stage) in the color effect list select Tint. Click on the color selection square, select a shade of orange, adjust the percentage of the orange tint and watch your sun change color. Play your animation to see your sun change color as it rises! Make sure to un-select your sun by clicking anywhere on the canvas outside of the sun. Let’s check our animation. To play your animation, choose Control / Rewind then Control / Play.
  7. Adjust the path of the sun. When we played the movie we noticed that the sun is taking a straight path from the lower left to the upper right. We would like to curve the path a little. Click on the timeline in frame 20. Flash now shows you the sun in the position in frame 20. Drag the sun a little further up. Flash now shows a bullet in this frame, meaning that it now designed this frame as a new keyframe. Control / Rewind and Control / Play your movie again. Add a few more keyframes to make the path look like a curve.
  8. Save your project on your disk. To do this, choose File / Save As, navigate to your disk and give your movie the name MyMovie.fla, then click the Save button.
  9. Add another object (cloud) to your movie. Since we want to animate our new object we will place the new object on its own layer. To insert a new layer, choose Insert / Timeline / Layer. Note that this new layer, called Layer 2, is at the top of the list of layers. (You might have to move your Toolbox out of the way to see the layer name.) This means that objects in Layer 2 will appear on top of objects in Layer 1. If necessary, you can rearrange the ordering of the layers (called the stacking order) in a scene. The name of the currently active layer is indicated in bold face and in this case is Layer 2. You can change the active layer by clicking on the name of the layer. Try this a few times but leave Layer 2 as the active layer when you are done.
  10. Create a cloud to fly across the sky. Create a new layer for the cloud. Our keyframes for each layer will be again frame 1 and frame 40. Make sure that layer 2 is the active layer (click on it if necessary). Draw a cloud on the left, upper side of the stage.
  11. Animate your cloud. Select the Pointer Tool in the upper left corner of the Drawing Toolbox. Select all of the cloud (the interior and the outline) by drawing a rectangle around the cloud. Next, choose Insert / Classic Tween. Flash converts your cloud automatically to a symbol (placing it in the library).
  12. Define the final position of your cloud. Click directly under the timeline in frame 40, the final frame of our animation. We want to use 40 keyframes to let the cloud fly across the sky. This means that in frame 40, the cloud will be in its final position. Choose Insert / Timeline / Keyframe to make this a keyframe. Notice the solid arrow between frame 1 and frame 40 signifying a successful motion tween. Now we move the cloud to its position in frame 40. With frame 40 still selected, single click on your cloud to select it and drag it to its final position towards the right portion of the stage.
  13. Change the stacking order. Drag the bar labeled Layer 1 up into the position where the bar labeled Layer 2 is. Again rewind and play your movie and note the changes.
  14. Add credits that show the creator of this wonderful movie! Insert a new layer by selecting Insert / Timeline / Layer. Layer 3 should now be your active layer. Select frame 20 of layer 3 to be your first keyframe. Click on frame 20, then select Insert / Timeline / Keyframe. In the Toolbox, choose the text tool. In the Properties Window, select Font and set the font to Arial. Set the text size to 18 and the text style to Italics. Make sure the properties box shows static text. Click somewhere in the lower half of the stage and type three lines of text:

This fantastic movie was created by
Joe Student (replace with your name)
COSC 109 section M 8 am (replace with your section)

  1. Now click on frame 40 for layer 3, then select Insert / Timeline / Keyframe. Our text will not move, it is just required to stay on the screen from frame 20 to frame 40. Rewind and play your movie. Should you need to delete any frames, you can do so by right-clicking on the frame(s) to remove, then select Remove Frames.
  2. Add one additional object. Improve the movie by adding an additional object, for example, a bird, or a kite.Insert an additional layer. Place an object of your choice on this layer towards the top of the screen. The object can be any item of your choice. Make this item move from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen.
  3. Save your movie. Select File/Save As, select Save as Type: Flash Document (*.fla). For a file name, type anim1.
  4. All Done!
  5. Before we post our movie to Blackboard, let’s take a look at file formats for Flash animation. Remember the native Flash format is file using the .fla extension. The .fla format is the format that is needed if you want to make any changes to your file. However, this is not the file format that we want to post to Blackboard. If we post our animation on the web using the native .fla format we would have two disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that this format would allow anyone to download our animation, manipulate it and use it for their own purpose. The other disadvantage is that files in .fla format require the full Flash software to be present on the viewer’s computer.
  6. File Formats. The easy solution for this dilemma is a conversion from .fla format to a so-called Flash Player format. This format is called shockwave and has a file extension .swf. Before you convert your movie make sure to save it in native .fla format. Select Control / Play All Scenes (to show all scenes of your movie), select Control / Rewind (to make sure your movie starts from the beginning), select Control / Loop Playback (this option will continuously play your movie). Now we are ready to export the movie to Flash Player format. Select File / Export Movie. In Save as Type, select Flash Movie (*.swf), as file name type anim1. If a dialog box appears, click the box Protect from Import and Compress, this will lock your file and prevent other users to copy your file and reduce the file size of the animation. Accept all other default values.
  7. You should now have two files saved, anim1.fla and anim1.swf. Post the file anim1.swf to Blackboard using the Flash Animation 1 discussion board. Check your work (to play your movie in Blackboard, right-click on the attachment and select open file in new window).

Grading Criteria

  • Movie must contain 4 layers
  • Layer 1 contains the sun moving from the lower left to the upper right corner of the screen, sun must change color
  • Layer 2 contains the cloud moving from the left area of the screen to the right area of the screen
  • Layer 3 contains your credits and must start after the cloud has moved some
  • Layer 4 contains an object of your choice moving from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen
  • Movie must be posted in .swf format

Supporting Diversity Through 21st-Century Teaching and Learning

This assignment re-introduces you to the framework of 21st Century Skills that you will consider each week as you work to redesign prior coursework for your ePortfolio. Note that a similar format is followed for each of the assignments in this course. You will upload this assignment to the course for evaluation and to your ePortfolio (Pathbrite).

Specifically, after reviewing the Framework for 21st century learning, you will redesign or modify a prior assignment from one of your courses in the MAED program that represents your mastery of the MAED program learning outcomes 1, 2, and 3. An assignment you may want to redesign could be in the form of a lesson plan or teaching unit you previously created for a course. Your redesign of the assignment must show a representation of 21st-century learning through incorporation of student outcomes and support systems, which are defined as follows:
  • Student Outcomes: Learning and Innovations Skills (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity), Core Subjects 3Rs and 21st Century Themes, Information, Media, and Technology Skills, Life and Career Skills.
  • Support Systems: Standards and assessments, curriculum and instruction, professional development, learning environments. 

When selecting an assignment to redesign, think about how the assignment should consider the diverse strengths, differences, cultures, and communities of students while offering a safe, collaborative, engaging, and inclusive learning environment. 

If you do not have previous work to use for this assignment, please contact your instructor for guidelines on how to proceed. As needed, refer to the MAED program learning outcomes (PLOs) list. Create your assignment to meet the content and written communication expectations noted below.

  As the number of motorcycle riders have increased over the last few years, rider injuries and fatalities have grown even more.  In 2012, over 4,900 motorcyclists died on the roads.  That is 15 percent of the total highway fatalities and an increase of 33 percent from 2003-2012.1  Helmets are about 37 percent effective in preventing deaths and about 67 percent effective in preventing brain injuries from motorcycle crashes.2

For those who have experienced or witnessed a head injury from a motorcycle accident, should know first-hand the effect these types of injuries have on family and friends.  Motorcycle crashes are not just measured in loss of human life.  These types of accidents create such large burdens to society, which can consume public funds for emergency responses, emergency room cost, and  by deaal4ireal” style=”border-style: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 136, 204); float: none; height: auto; width: auto; text-transform: uppercase; background: transparent;”>INSURANCE PREMIUMSarrow-10x10.png.  The medical cost and long term effects can be most devastating, as head injuries are the most expensive to treat.  The expenses and proper care for a  by deaal4ireal” style=”color: rgb(0, 136, 204); border-style: none !important; font-weight: bold !important; display: inline-block !important; float: none !important; height: auto !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; width: auto !important; text-transform: uppercase !important; background: transparent !important;”>PERSONarrow-10x10.png with a serious head injury could easily cost millions of dollars.  Under these circumstances, it would seem entirely reasonable for all states to mandate motorcyclists to wear a helmet, at least to reduce the likelihood of this kind of injury.  These laws would also reduce by deaal4ireal” style=”border-style: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 136, 204); float: none; height: auto; width: auto; text-transform: uppercase; background: transparent;”>INSURANCE COMPANYarrow-10x10.png costs, as all riders are required to have but many may not have either  by deaal4ireal” style=”border-style: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 136, 204); float: none; height: auto; width: auto; text-transform: uppercase; background: transparent;”>HEALTH INSURANCEarrow-10x10.pngor riders insurance.

Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirements
Due Week 4 and worth 110 points

This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a business requirements document and a project plan. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Procuring quality business requirements is an important step toward the design of quality information systems. Completion of a quality requirements document allows user needs and expectations to be captured, so that infrastructure and information systems can be designed properly. Your company, which is a data-collection and analysis company that has been operating less than two (2) years, is seeking to create a repository for collected data beyond standard relational databases. Your ten (10) terabyte data warehouse is expected to grow by 20% each year. You are mindful of data warehousing best practices which will aid you immensely in your requirements gathering effort. Using the requirements document provided in the course shell, you are to speculate on the needs of the company. You must consider current and future requirements; however, assumptions should be realistic and carefully considered.  

Section 1: Business Requirements Document

  1. Write a four to six (4-6) page original business requirements document for the project plan using the template provided. Note: The template is provided under the Additional Resources in the Student Center tab of the online course shell.
    • Describe the project including the following:
      • Describe and define the scope of the project.
      • Speculate as to how to control the scope.
      • Identify possible risks, constraints, and assumptions.
      • Describe the relationship and integration between systems and infrastructure. Note: Database and Data Warehousing, Analytics, Interfaces and Cloud Technology, and Infrastructure and Security should be considered.
      • Speculate upon potential outsourcing or offshoring needs.
      • Identify and justify the necessary resources including staffing that are necessary.
      • Define relevant terms that will be used throughout project.
    • Use at least two (2) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Section 2: Revised Project Plan

Use Microsoft Project to:

  1. Update the project plan from Project Deliverable 1: Project Plan Inception, with three to five (3-5) new project tasks each consisting of five to ten (5-10) sub-tasks.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Evaluate an organization through the lens of non-IT senior management in deciding how information systems enable core and supportive business processes as well as those that interface with suppliers and customers.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in information systems.
  • Write clearly and concisely about strategic issues and practices in the information systems domain using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

/in /by

The following resources may be helpful when completing this assignment.

Determining how to build a high-performing agile team, while managing conflicts, is a considerable task for any agile coach. In this assignment, you are asked to explore and discuss various conflict resolution methods and determine when and how to use them as an agile coach. You must discuss the techniques in a context of an agile project team environment with various scenarios, and must also demonstrate how you can turn the high-contention situations into high-collaboration situations. For example, the project team has consistently encountered changes of scope by the product owner. The QA team also emailed the whole team on how poorly the developers have done in their coding. The developers escalated to their manager about the documentation errors done by architects. 

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Identify and evaluate at least three (3) conflict resolution techniques that can be used by the agile coach to change the dynamics of the team in the example provided. 
  2. Summarize at least five (5) common causes of conflicts in this team and analyze why agile strategies can be applied to resolve those conflicts. 
  3. Analyze the pros and cons of conflict resolution techniques and their usefulness in at least three (3) different situations (e.g., levels of conflicts).
  4. Suggest at least three (3) strategies for an agile coach to use conflict as a catapult to achieve high performance. 
  5. Recommend at least five (5) best practices for collaboration and cooperation within agile teams. Justify your response for each best practice with an example.
  6. Use at least five (5) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. You may use the resources above or others of your choosing.

Homeland Security and Policing

Write a response to the following prompt:

  • What are the six main officer vulnerability issues when dealing with homeland security/confronting terrorists? Why are these issues a problem in terms of safety of the officer?
  • List the initial steps that should be taken when responding to a terrorist or major event and how can COPPS assist in these situations either before, during, or after the event?

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s), and properly cite any references.

Police officers confronting terrorists in the United States now find themselves vulnerable in six types of situations (Garrett, 2002):

1. Traffic stops: Law enforcement lacks prior knowledge of the individual being stopped; the officer may be isolated and the potential terrorist may be in a heightened state of suspicion or anger as a result of the stop.

  2. Residence visits: Officers are on the extremists’ home turf, putting them at a disadvantage; the visit may be routine, but the extremist may not view it as such, and the home may be armed and fortified.

  3. Rallies/marches: The risk to police usually comes not from the group holding the event, but from protestors, often anarchists who hate the police and believe that the best way to confront the demonstrators is through physical violence.

  4. Confrontations/standoffs: All such incidents can arise from the three previous situations.

  5. Revenge and retaliation: A terrorist may be motivated by personal benefit or revenge, such as one who attempts to blow up an Internal Revenue Service office because he was audited.

  6. Incident responses: These can take many forms, ranging from activities of terrorists to acts of nature. (Peak, Gaines, & Glensor, 2010. p.395).

When confronting or dealing with homeland security and confronting terrorists, police officers face with vulnerability issues that then becomes a problem in terms of safety of the officers themselves. The officers have continually fought about these vulnerabilities, which have continued to affect the way the way they perform their duties effectively.

The first vulnerability concerns the human rights; it is a difficulty in implementing counter terrorist measures since it may affect civil liberties and individual privacy. Officers may face legal charges when found to have infringed some human rights in the process of offering security. In some cases of terrorism, the officers uses preemptive neutralization which include capturing, killing or disabling suspected terrorists before amounting attack which becomes a breach of the rights.

The officers are vulnerable to leaking information to suspects when interrogating them. This information may increase their vulnerability and used by suspect to enhance the crimes. The other vulnerability comes because of management in cases of terrorism and counter terrorism. In such cases, officers responding to a crime from different department are prone to misunderstanding and poor control (Bennett, 2010). The officers are vulnerable to fatalities as they may face attack from the criminals. They also face physiological effects due to exposure to actions that might be beyond their comprehensions. All this vulnerabilities may result to affecting the officers’ productiveness of the officers.

The first step is to identify potential emergency scenario that will help enable to determine the requirements. The second step is stabilization of the incident to minimize potential damage. The other step is protecting the victims as much as possible. COPPS has the responsibility to offer information on potential threats, information on terrorist and help in providing evidence to criminate the suspects (Spalek, 2013).
