In Robert Sternberg's model (p 332-333) he talks about passion, intimacy and commitment. He appears to make the assumption that the highest level in the triangle is marriage. If we apply his theory and use our knowledge of development to date: What is love? How might we explain the relationship of people who live together? Why might they make this choice? What about casual dating? Where does that fit into the model? Same-sex partners? Single parents? What about married couples? Can a couple attain the level that Sternberg believes is the ideal? How? Can it be sustained? In what ways do you think that gender differences influence intimacy? In what ways does our early developmental experience of relationships influence later relationships? (attachment) Any other thoughts you have about the world of relationships.

A trihybrid flower, AaHhEe, is crossed with aaHhEe. The ‘A’ allele represents flower color, where ‘A’ represents red flowers and ‘a’ represents white flowers. The ‘H’ allele represents stem height, where ‘H’ represents long stems and ‘h’ represents short stems. The ‘E’ allele represents seed shape, where ‘E’ represents round seeds and ‘e’ represents wrinkled seeds.

a. List all of the possible gametes formed by the aaHhEe flower.

b. Use the multiplication and addition rules from the lecture to calculate the probability that their offspring will have red flowers, long stems, and round seeds.

A squared cross- sectional bar of 3cm by 3cm is under a compressive stress of 300 MPa. The bar deforms elastically, what is the area of the cross section after deformation. Provide your answer in milimeters squared. (Do not type in the unit in your answer.) (E=30GPa, v=0.4)

Apply workers’ compensation management regulations and concepts to the following workplace scenario: You are a newly hired environmental safety and health professional for a midsized manufacturer of widgets. You currently have three manufacturing facilities in three separate, but geographically close states. Because of unprecedented growth in the widgets market, your company decides to build another factory. One out of the hundreds of indicators the executive staff is looking for is which one of their current states they operate is most employer friendly. In other words, which state treats employers and employees the same when it comes to regulatory requirements? Complete a research paper that compares and contrasts the differences between the Oregon state and two other adjacent states. In your paper, you should

discuss the differences and similarities between workers’ rights in the three different states (e.g., definition of employee, wages paid, weeks of temporary disability, etc.),

· identify and explain the commonalities in the fundamental laws of the workers’ compensation system in the three states, interpret the resources that are available for employers in each state (e.g., monthly courses taught, written guidance, employer rights, etc.),

discuss the types of coverage available to employees in each state, and

argue which state is more employer friendly from an employer’s perspective when it comes to administering a workers’ compensation program.

Be sure to use the tools provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Division of Federal Employees’ Compensation (DFEC) web page. The webpage is located at https://www.dol.gov/owcp/dfec/regs/compliance/wc.htm. This page provides a link to the workers’ compensation board for each of the 50 states as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico. In addition to this resource, you should use a minimum of two other sources. All information from these sources must be cited in APA style.

The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) provides a number of services to other departments in an Australian State Government. These services include HR and personnel management, payroll, contract tendering management, contractor management, and procurement. These services have all been provided from the Department’s own data centres.

As a result of a change in Government policy, DAS is moving to a “Shared Services” approach. This approach will mean that DAS will centralise a number of services for the whole of Government (WofG). The result of this move will be that each Department or Agency that runs one of these services for its own users, will be required to migrate its data to DAS so that it can be consolidated into one of the DAS centralised databases. DAS will then provide these consolidated services to all other Departments and Agencies within the Government.

Another Government policy mandates a “Cloud first” approach to the process of updating or acquiring software or services. Following these strategic policy changes from Government, DAS has decided to:

• Purchase a HR and personnel management application from a US based company that provides a SaaS solution.
  • The application will provide DAS with a HR suite that will provide a complete HR suite which will also include performance management. The application provider has advised that the company’s main database is located in a Cloud datacentre based in California in the United States, with a replica database located in a cloud datacentre in Dublin, Ireland. However, all data processing, configuration, maintenance, updates and feature releases are provided from the application provider’s processing centre in Bangalore, India.
  • Employee data will be uploaded from DAS daily at 12:00 AEST. This will be initially transferred to Bangalore in India for processing before being loaded into the main provider database in California.
  • Employees will be able to access their HR and Performance Management information through a link placed on the DAS intranet. Each employee will use their internal agency digital ID to authenticate to the HR and Performance management system. The internal digital ID is generated by each agency’s Active Directory instance and is used for internal authentication and authorisation.

• Move the DAS payroll to a COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) application that it will manage in a public cloud;

Tasks

After your successful engagement to provide a security and privacy risk assessment for the DAS, you have again been engaged to consider some additional questions that DAS management has raised.

Prepare a presentation for DAS Management using the TRA you recently completed on the security and privacy of employee data. Your presentation is to show:

1. Discuss how the operational solution using an SaaS application, and the location(s) of the SaaS provider for HR management may affect the security posture of DAS.
2. Explain if either the operational solution, or the operational location(s), or both, increase or mitigate the threats and risks identified for the security and privacy of employee data?
3. Discuss the security and privacy implications for DAS of the data processing location?
4. Discuss any issues of data sensitivity that you think should be considered with either the chosen solution or the storage/processing locations?
5. Discuss any issues of data sovereignty that should be considered?

Your presentation is to be completed in either PowerPoint or Google slides. Your presentation must not exceed 25 slides of content.

• The presentation should be a maximum of 25 slides, including introduction, conclusions and recommendations.
• Each slide should have speaking notes in the Notes section which expand on the information in the slide.
• Images and quotations used in slides must be referenced on that slide.
• The slide deck does require a reference list. References are to be included on a Reference list slide(s), but these are not counted as part of the slide deck limit.

Your presentation should highlight the significant points of your argument, but you should include the detail in the speaking notes section of your slides.
