Line-drawing associated with the balance between federal and state power is the source of debate. The debate centers on how the Tenth Amendment is interpreted. Let’s explore the line-drawing using handgun ownership as a point of focus.

Printz v. United States (1997) ruled that provisions of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (1993), requiring local law enforcement to perform background checks on applicants for handgun ownership, was unconstitutional as a violation of state sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment. If you were a federal law enforcement leader and knew that failure of local law enforcement to enforce this rule would undermine any attempt to reduce gun violence such as school shootings, how would you convince a Tenth Amendment states’ rights advocate? How would you account for public policy in your argument? What case law would you use to support your approach?

• 1. Technology is a human made tool which involves development, processing, and management (Ramey, 2013). Technology is used to make our world easier and faster to manage (Ramey, 2013). It is also used in medicine, education, construction, and many other aspects of our lives (Ramey, 2013). Due to all the technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) is exploding. Everything that can be connected to the internet is. Most of the devices help us navigate through our day. There are different categories of technologies which connect to the IoT the one discussed in this article is: sensor technologies.Sensor technologies are tools which detect change in physical things (ITU, 2005). Several examples are listed below:· Electronic jacket – which uses sensors to detect the outside temperature and is able to adjust the warmness of the jacket (ITU, 2005).· Gesture recognition – is used within new TVs and video game consoles, which can detect movement without any kind of remote control (Esfandyari, 2016). The new sensors can recognize very complex gestures (Esfandyari, 2016).· Car sensors – have become increasingly common in our cars. Since sensor technology is getting more and more accurate, cars will become the decision maker in when to brake, even if the driver’s food is still on the gas (Brauer, 2015).· Wearable technologies – use sensors as well. Google has developed smart contact lenses for diabetics (Kosir, 2015). The lenses use the tears in an individual’s eye to measure glucose levels (Kosir, 2015). For regular glasses wearers the lenses would be able to adjust to mimic the eye’s natural autofocusing (Kosir, 2015).With many of the aforementioned technologies, it will only be a question of when they will be connected to a smartphone or to the internet. There are several benefits they can provide. Gesture recognition could be used to operate machines and make processes easier. The tools which will use gesture recognition will be and are already connected to the internet to provide data to their developing companies helping to make future products better. Sensory technology in cars may educate drivers or take the wheel for them if needed. Self-driving cars are within the near future and they have to be connected to the internet, to receive updates on maps and driver safety. Technologies within healthcare can track an individual’s health and send reports to the primary physician.Since these sensors collect and analyze everything, including every move the user makes (Beaver, 2016) the data being collected is very sensitive and private, which makes it an attractive target for attackers (Beaver, 2016). The data will need to be secured at all times, which means during collection, transfer, analyzation, and later when at rest. Companies will have to provide extensive security; otherwise they are jeopardizing the customer’s private information (Beaver, 2016). On that note, the sensor devices will need strong security, if an attacker hacks into a car, the attacker may cause the car to crash which can threaten human life.As presented, sensor technologies have a lot of potential to make our lives’ better; however, there are several security and privacy concerns which come with these revolutionizing technologies.References:Beaver, K.

• 2. The Internet of Things revolves around increased machine-to-machine communication; it’s built on cloud computing and networks of data-gathering sensors; it’s mobile, virtual, and instantaneous connection; and they say it’s going to make everything in our lives from streetlights to seaports “smart”” (Burros, n.d.). There are many capabilities of IoT, and we will review Thinking things: SMART Technologies.SMART Technology, which stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology, is “capable of learning that is using experience to improve performance, anticipating, thinking and reasoning about what to do next, with the ability to self-generate and self-sustain” (IGI, n.d.). It allows machines to make decisions that will benefit the technology owner in some way. That could be notification of when laundry is dry, to notifying a driver that the road ahead is iced over.One of the key leaders in SMART Technology is Microsoft and their Windows-as-a-Service aims to make “Windows services platform neutral” (Entis, 2015). This will allow devices to communicate across Windows platform, even if it does not have Windows OS. This will allow for further growth in SMART Technology by allowing many devices to communicate and operate across many different devices, thus allowing for better integration.SMART Technology contributes to the Internet of Things by allowing for an outcome to be produced by IoT. IoT deals with machines being able to communicate with each other, but guidance is needed on that information for it to have value to the user. SMART Technology allows for this value to be put into the data that is produced from IoT.With IoT growing and many devices facilitating the capability of IoT it “gives hackers and cyber criminals more entry points” (Meola, 2016). Many of these technology will require sensors, and be able to monitor the person operating them for it to be successful in fully facilitating the need of the user. This can open many doors to people looking to target a person negatively or cause harm to systems or functions that are supporting that person. If a printer can be hacked and caught on fire, then there can be hacks that can be much more sophisticated that can further cause injury (direct or indirectly) to the user.Thank you for the read,MikeReferencesBurros, B.

One of the goals of the treatment center you work at is to eventually open a new, modern treatment facility. You will be working with a team to research the current treatment models used in the field and current issues that will need to be addressed. The team will make recommendations to propose a plan for a new center.

Come together as a group and agree on 2 current issues that your group will address in the proposal for the new center. In 1 report of 3–4 pages, your team will submit a proposed plan to the director of the center, including a recommendation for the new facility. The director will review your plan and may ask for additional information before he sends the final plan on to the investors of the center. Your team’s plan should include the following:

• Recommendation for new facility
  • Type of facility
  • Model of treatment
  • Objective: 2 current issues to be addressed
  • Plan for addressing issues

The discussion assignment for this week includes a review of the Key Assignment Outline completed by one of your classmates, as well as a substantial response to at least one other student.

Primary Task Response: Please watch Making global labor fair (https://www.ted.com/talks/auret_van_heerden_making_global_labor_fair). Share your considerations, concerns, and any ideas on how to potentially address some of the issues noted in the video. Note: many who view the video speak to the lack of ‘plausible solutions’…that is exactly where this discussion should focus. Take the considerations of what has been discussed during the course (and prior courses) and apply those ideas to the larger discussion posed by this video.

Out of 200 applicants, you have been selected to work as the manager in the research department for a special task force with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Review the CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov. Your first assignment on this special task force is to focus on Opioid Overdose. The CDC reports that from 1999 to 2015, more than 183,000 people died in the U.S. from overdose related to prescription opioids.

The CDC has been researching the impact of opioid overdose to protect the public’s health and prevent opioid overdose deaths using surveillance and research. You will focus on two primary areas: 1) opioid prescribing guidelines for physicians, and 2) ways hospitals can create prescription drug monitoring as a part of their Quality Management Department (seehttps://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/index.html).

Locate a peer-reviewed journal article related to quality in healthcare.

1. Analyze how this article can be used in the Quality Management (QM) Department.
2. Determine how your article can be used by hospitals to monitor prescription drug programs.
3. Write a 150-word summary of your article and determine how it can be used in the QM. The summary should follow the SESC formula: State, Explain, Support and Conclude.
4. Utilizing SWS format, write a reference at the bottom of your summary. The citation must follow SWS format. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
5. This course requires use of new Student Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
