Every year firefighters lose their lives on the job, which has an enormous impact on the fire service and firefighters who continue to put their lives on the line to protect their communities. Why does the American fire service continue to have firefighters die from the same events? Why is it that fire service leaders cannot identify the issues and implement programs to stop these deaths? Do you believe it is the lack of research into the deaths? Why, or why not?

Part 1 Requirements
Make any revisions to your own Week 2, Assignment 1 submission as suggested by the instructor.
Then, add at least one file from student submissions for each of the other group studies that were completed for Week 2, Assignment 1. The final compiled post should include the following:
At least one chest and details study with all labels and descriptions.
At least one cupboard and details study with all labels and descriptions.
At least one chair, details and tapestry study with all labels and descriptions.
Create a medieval cover page.
Part 2 – Identifying Reproductions
Imagine that you have a client who is opening a boutique hotel. He wants to be able to offer a variety of historic interiors and has contracted you to order beds, case pieces, seating, accessories, tapestries, fabrics, etc., to furnish multiple rooms. This week you are to select modern day reproduction items that reflect medieval design and motifs. You will need to reference your compiled Week 2_Assignment 1 Historic Interiors Notebook files to guide you when you select the items listed below:
Two pieces of furniture with medieval characteristics and details.
At least one medieval type accessory.
At least one medieval style tapestry.
Search the web for images that have details specific to the medieval period. Save the images you want to use as .jpg files at 72 dpi. Once saved and reduced in size if necessary, add each to the template provided. To maintain good visual balance be sure to correctly size the images to fit the template and then complete the required labeling.
Part 2 Requirements – Labeling
All labeling must be done with computer generated text. Always include the period and country of origins when labeling each item. Other requirements are as listed below:
Tapestry and accessory: these selections must have a name-label, note the country of origin and a brief historic summary that describes it and discuss original functions.
Each furniture image: must have a name-label and note the country of origin. On one side of the image include a minimum of three labels that identify three details specific to the historic period studied. Each label must include an accurate description to show you have expanded your knowledge to be able to fully identify and describe furniture details. You are to use specific vocabulary/terminology learned within the weekly online lectures, assignments and e-text reading.
When describing or defining details you must use your own words. Do not copy directly from a dictionary or text book.
You cannot repeat any labels on the two items. So each week a total of six new labels are required related to the historic period studied.
Citation: All web images are required to include a citation. You are to add a Works Cited page which includes a link to the source for each selection. Make sure it works and connects directly to the furniture piece in context. Use the MLA Citation Helper for guidance.
Case Study 2: Application Architecture Due Week 8 and worth 50 points You have been tasked with building a payroll program for a large organization with offices spread across the United States. The company has one larger data center that each office connects to via a wide area network (WAN). Write a 3-4 page paper in which you:Rubric
Social scientists know that research is a continuing process. OFC Lightly chose a place to start to consider his topic, but also knows he has many more pieces to contemplate if he wants to deliver the best possible community policing plan to help reduce the incidence of property crime.OFC Lightly, in formulating his research plan, realizes something important. He has only considered examining citizen activities and attitudes in areas were the incidence of property crime is high. He believes the citizens, the geographic areas and the sensibilities of the community should be reconsidered; he realizes he must look at other factors.Within the Discussion Board area, write 400 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:
You are the head of a small household, having just moved to a large urban center. You are not wealthy,
but since you and your partner or spouse both work full-time, you make a little more each month than you
need to meet your family’s needs. That said, you can’t eat out very often, you can’t travel with your family
on vacation, and you haven’t ever really been able to buy the kinds of things for your kids that you know
they’d like to have. You and your partner/spouse have recently discussed whether you’d ever want to have
more children, and you both have agreed that, although you could cover the expenses, it would mean
further depriving yourselves and the kids you have of the sorts of small luxuries—an occasional trip to the
movies, dance classes, new bicycles on their birthdays, ice cream on the way home from school—that you
all enjoy.
One night, the two of you have some friends who are visiting from out of town over for dinner.
The conversation turns eventually to your kids, and your friends surprise you and your partner/spouse by
announcing that they have become foster parents. They’ve been foster parents for over a year now, in
fact. The idea intrigues both you and your partner, and your friends tell you all about their experience.
They begin by noting that there are countless children in desperate need of loving homes, even if only on
a temporary, foster basis. Many of these kids are older, they note, and many of them have had very rough,
troubled lives—violent lives, even. Many of the kids have themselves been the perpetrators of violence
against other children. You all agree that it’s a shame, and that something should be done to help these
poor children.
After dessert and coffee, your friends get ready to leave. There are hugs and good-byes, but then,
at the last moment, standing on your doorstep before heading out to their car, your friends turn to you
and say: “The foster agency we went through is desperately searching to place two older children,” one
of them says. “They have had no luck, as the kids have acted out violently in some of their other foster
homes. But they’re good kids, really. We’d take them ourselves, but Jim just lost his job, and we’re
broke.” Sensing your ambivalence, your friend says, “I understand that, right here on your front porch in
the middle of the night, it is difficult to make a decision. And Lord knows we wouldn’t hold it against you
if you didn’t want to take these children in. You have to look after your own children, too. But these kids
are guaranteed to have no future at all if no one helps them, and it looks like no one already in the foster
care system is willing to help them. You have the means and the opportunity to change these two kids’
lives for the better. Again, we totally understand if their past violence against other kids worries you. We
wouldn’t want to see any harm come to you, or your children. But these kids are in real need. They’re
fighting for their lives here. At least think about it.”
*In your paper, I want you to explain (and compare/contrast) how John Stuart Mill, Peter Singer,
and Susan Wolf would advise you to act in this situation. What is the morally right thing to do, for
each of the three philosophers you’ve chosen?
Requirements for the paper (please read these carefully):
•The paper must be 5 pages long, typed, double-spaced, in an 11- or 12-point font with reasonable
margins.
•You must use direct quotations from the text to support your claims about what the philosophers say
and/or believe. Please set quotations from the text apart from your own words by way of quotation marks
(“like this”), and please give a citation for each quotation (either in parentheses immediately after the
quotation, or in a footnote, that tells your reader which author you’re quoting, and what page in the
Marino anthology the quotation comes from). Papers that lack quotations altogether will receive an F
for the assignment; papers that only quote from two of the three philosophers you discuss will
receive a grade no higher than C; papers that only quote one of the three will receive a grade no
higher than D.
•Please include a works cited; this need not appear as a separate page, if there is room for it on the last
page of your paper.
•You are forbidden from making use of sources other than the writings of Mill, Singer, and Wolf as they
appear in the Marino anthology. You may not quote the introductions to the book or to each chapter
by Marino himself, nor are you permitted to quote my blog posts (or your classmates’ blog
comments) in your papers. Only quote those things written by the philosophers in question. Papers that
quote from forbidden sources will receive a severe grade penalty, depending upon the extent and
significance of the quotations
The Johnson county emergency manager, the city of Smith police chief, and the state of chaos director of homeland security are working together to plan for evacuations of citizens and their pets and livestock during wildfires, which are prevalent in their region each summer. During the last round of fires this past summer, several critical issues surfaced. You are a planner within one of the three agencies listed in the scenario. In developing plans for crisis response, you have found the scientific method to be extremely effective, especially because it helps to identify empirical evidence that supports predicting behavior and prescribing policy. Based on the scenario, you must do the following:For example, say that you choose to test a hypothesis stating the following: \”If a given fire is resolved during the darkness, there will be more looters in the evacuated area.\” If you test this hypothesis and find the evidence strongly supports the causality you claim (a fire’s resolution during darkness promotes looting), you might propose a plan or policy that provides increased security in the area until homeowners can return to and secure their property. You might further recommend a process for notifying people that they can return home. If there does not seem to be any causality between darkness and the incidence of looting, but looting still occurs, your recommendations (as given above) might remain the same. Lastly, if you find looting after fires is rare or nonexistent, you might recommend the issue not be addressed anywhere in plans and policies so that security resources can be conserved, but anyone reading the policy will not be alerted to this leaner security status.
In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Tim Smith, senior criminal lawyer, discusses select cases and asks a paralegal to indicate which courts would have exclusive jurisdiction of the cases in question. He also discusses various pretrial procedures and illustrates them with select cases. Finally, Tim Smith introduces the case of Roland Gary, who served twenty-three (23) years in prison for a crime that he did not commit. The case brought to light several key issues, along with the manner in which they were resolved.Use the Internet to research three real-life cases from the past five (5) years that fit the following criteria:Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
