U.S. government The United States of America has made positive strides constitutionally to the formation of the new structure of government. The objective of this paper is to analyze the first two national governments and understanding their structures as well as their similarities and differences. The articles of confederation (AOC) were authored and fully ratified in 1781. They acted as an operational tool to the U.S. government until the formation of the U.S. constitution that replaced the articles of confederation. Under the articles of confederation, the government consisted of the congress that was a singular legislative body. The government may have taken this structure to reduce the powers that had previously fueled the American revolutionary war and the fighting that had existed between Great Britain and colonies. Much power lay under the state legislatures under according to the articles of confederation because all states were entitled to retain their sovereignty, freedom, and independence. However, the central government held some powers too that were granted by the articles of confederation. It was the only one that could declare war and conduct…
Lemuel Gulliver Lemuel Gulliver, the writer of Gulliver’s travel, is a surgeon who traveled by sea. In his life, he made many complete journeys, but the last four of them were strange as he discovered something about his culture. His trips became different when a storm swept everyone in his and became the only survivor. Lilliputians saved him, and their emperor asked for Gulliver’s help in conquering his enemy.

Human Resources and Staffing Crisis at Blumberg’s Nursing Home a) Immediate Staffing Needs at BNH As three members of the staff were terminated, BNH needs to fill these open positions, which include a Director of Nursing, a receptionist, and a dietary aide. In order of urgency, the Director of Nursing needs to be the first position to be filled because, firstly, the interim director of Nursing is not a registered nurse; hence BNH is not in compliance with the law. As a result, if they were found out, it could lead to penalties or a shutdown. Furthermore, registered nurses are trained to do various roles, which in this case, would be useful in filling in for the other two unfilled positions. For example, in a general context, registered nurses perform functions such as assessing and documenting health status, telephone triage, management of hospital transition, and staff supervision (Smolowitz et al. 2015). Hence, with experience in conducting these roles, the registered nurse can be able to fill in for a receptionist and the dietary aide as they would be able to…
Best and worst innovations Name Institution affiliated Best and worst innovations One of the products that have the most potentials is the second-generation zipline, delivery drones. E-commerce has picked up very fast in the past few years, and delivery drones are going to replace track drivers. Currently, brick-and-mortar stores are on the verge of vanishing, and I think delivery drones will make people’s lives even more comfortable. I also believe Thor ET-One, an electric semi-truck, is on the list of some of the most promising products. Some cities already have electric cars on their roads, and the next few years will most certainly witness a buzz towards electric vehicles. With climate change looming in, the world will turn to electric cars for answers. Wind power for homes, the Semtive Nemoi Wind Turbine system, is also among products with the most potential. Some homes are already using solar power for basic electricity needs, and I think wind power will come in…
