Turkey Point: More Questions Than Answers?

The Turkey Point nuclear power station was built in 1972 by Florida Power & Light Corporation on the shore of Biscayne Bay about 25 miles south of Downtown Miami. It is the largest electrical power generating station in Florida and the sixth largest in the United States. FPL has applied to the State of Florida’s Public Service Commission and to the Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build two additional reactors on this site.

After reading your textbook’s section on how electricity is generated by nuclear fission, read the following articles for backgrounding prior to participating in this Forum.

A. As someone who lives and votes in South Florida (if you don’t live in South Florida, imagine that you live and work in downtown Miami – 25 miles away from Turkey Point as the Turkey Vulture glides), you will create a list of six (6) questions in rank order of importance to you about FPL’s nuclear power operations.

For each question, briefly (at least two complete sentences) explain why it is important that you get an answer to this question – now!
Use the following format to earn up to 12 points (2 points/question + reason)

Deliverable 4 – Food Resiliency Management Plan

/in /by

Competency

Analyze the importance of water and soil in the production and distribution of food.

Scenario

You have been hired as an environmental scientist for a local firm. For your first project, you are asked to construct a food resiliency plan for your firm. Given our changing global climate, growing population, overuse and scarcity of resource, such a management plan for the production and distribution of food is crucial. The goal of this proposed plan is to reduce waste and CO 2 emissions contributed by your firm.

Instructions

Construct a detailed management plan for food resiliency. Your plan should consist of three separate paragraphs, (5-7 sentences in length) and should contain the following elements:

  • Your first paragraph should specify where and how your company will source its food given a goal year (e.g., 2030).
    • This paragraph should consider measures to promote a fluid and organized plan for food resiliency that is realistic and achievable by the end goal (e.g., aquaponics/vertical farms sourced from local community centers to give residents access to fresh, organically grown produce).
  • Your second paragraph should specify steps or measures that will be taken to move the firm towards this food resiliency plan.
    • This paragraph should highlight the phasing out of foods sourced from farms that use pesticides/chemicals.
  • Your third paragraph should discuss the potential reduction in food miles and CO2 emissions that would be achieved by the end date.
    • This paragraph should highlight the end goal of reducing food miles and reducing CO2 emissions through sourcing food from local sources.

The Case Of Chung Ming

/in /by

Directions: Please answer the following short response questions. Each question should have a 6 to 8 sentence paragraph response. Remember to support your work with APA references and in-text citations. Please visit the Academic Resource Center for concise APA guidelines.

1. Define correctional counseling. Is correctional counseling different from other forms of counseling? Why or why not?

2. Describe and discuss two key, legal, and ethical considerations that must be attended to when providingcounseling services within the correctional setting?

3. What is the most important legal issue that counselors must be aware of when providing services to an offender? Why is this issue so important and what are the possible repercussions if this legal parameter is violated?

4. Describe the difference between guidance and counseling? Are these two concepts mutually exclusive or can they overlap?

5. In your own words, describe the concept of stress? What are some of the physical and emotional consequences of stress? What is the likely result of prolonged stress that is not properly defused?

6. How would you define cultural competence? In your own words, describe why it is so important that counselors understand the essence of cultural competence, especially within the offender population.

7. Explain and describe two of the most common barriers to treatment.

8. Define the concept of stigma. What are some of the origins of stigma especially as it relates to counseling?

9. What is the difference between covert and overt racism? Provide two examples of each. Is one type of racism more destructive than the other? Why or why not?

10. What is meant by the concept of a melting pot? How is this related to the significance of counselors being culturally competent in their ability to effectively provide services?

PART II: CASE STUDY

Directions: Review “The Case of Chung Ming” on page 44 of the text. Develop a treatment plan for Chung Ming. Your final document should be at least 2-3 pages and adhere to APA standards, including in text citations. Please visit the Academic Resource Center for concise APA guidelines.
Chung Ming is a teenager,14 years old,and he
is ethnic Chinese. His parents immigrated
from China when Ming was roughly 9 years
old. Ming’s parents have not yet mastered the
English language and in some cases, he has
had to translate for his family. Lately, Ming
has been skipping school and he has been
hanging out with a group of other Asian
(mostly Chinese) youth that have established
a small gang.
Ming’s parents are humiliated by his
behavior and do not act as if they are really ready
to conduct counseling. They express that they
are very troubled by Ming’s behavior and even
that he brings dishonor on his family. Ming, on
the other hand, is much more Westernized than
his parents and he notes that many of his friends
have forsaken much of their Chinese views
for those more consistent with mainstream
American society.
Ming seems indifferent as you watch him
while his parents talk, noting that Ming stays
out late,drinks at age 14,and he has even stolen small items from various stores in the neigh-
borhood.You can tell by observing that Ming’s
father has difficulty with English and is a bit
withdrawn. The mother is also withdrawn and
does not offer anything to the conversation
throughout most of the session.
Ming is on juvenile probation and he
seems to meet the requirements of his supervi-
sion. The mere fact that he is on probation is
problematic with his parents and is also a
source of shame for all members of the family.
After the session, you are fairly sure that
Ming is still engaged in illegal activities with his
prior gang. You make it a point to ultimately
contact his probation/parole officer during the
next week.
Given the dynamics of this traditionally
Chinese family, Ming’s advanced acculturation
in Western culture, and the lack of concern
that Ming has, you realize that there are many
more factors at play than Ming’s simple misbe-
havior.You consider the cultural dynamics and
begin to develop a plan

HIST 3476

Instructor: Michael Rawson

March 24, 2016

Why is Manhattan Beach one of most expensive neighborhood in Brooklyn? It is not close to the city or public transportation. Yes, it is by the water just like many other areas in New York. But what have made it this way? By looking at the maps there are weren’t much going on. Only few things and Temple. Such as US public hospital and Air force reservation. How come those became unnecessary and million dollar land came along. Did all the workers and fisherman leave and left the land behind which became available for Russian and Jewish emigrants? If so why land on Brighton broader doesn’t coast as much as it is on Manhattan beach.

Another look to a Emmons Avenue Creek which was originally built for easier access and quite space for fishing. Back then there were no housing from Sheepshead Bay or Manhattan beach side. When did this all became irrelevant and deconstruct itself into Holocaust memorial with annual events and gathering. Fresh seafood now turns into too many sushi bars within one block and boat parties during a summer while Manhattan beach resents barely use public transportation. Why would you want to live here if you can afford a penthouse on the island? Dangerous flooding zone have been proved by recent Sandy and yet this neighborhood is the hottest spot for real estate agents.

Focus The Creek between Sheepshead Bay and Manhattan beach. Including Holocaust Memorial Park. The purpose to focus on use of creek that starts of Manhattan Beach.The canal itself haven’t change thought the years but population of the neighborhood definitely have. The Kingsborough Community College is built on part on the land that been extended with extra rocks which means whoever had idea of this school wasn’t deepened on taking the space of Manhattan Beach. They were extending it and building at the same time.

1. So here is my helpers and inspirations for this topic. At first I have looked at Historic aerials website and have seen how the area changed thought seventy years. This were I have learned about attached stones as platform for Kingsborogh college and US air force factory.

2,3. I found a great use of different pictures that I’m planning to attached my final version of paper from Brooklyn Historical Society and Brooklyn Public Library.

4,5. Local newspapers like sheepsheadbaybites.com and brooklyndaily.com have a little bit of information.

6. GILLMAN, LUCY P.. “CONEY ISLAND”. New York History 36.3 (1955): 255–290. This article doesn’t only cover history of Coney island and its developments but mentions the demography of immigrant population. But before that the hotels were most of buildings on the Manhattan beach area! Hotels are now apartment buildings!

7. Wildsam Field Guide Brooklyn. Wildsam Field Guides, 2015. Print. It have been purchased for the love of Brooklyn and became useful. It’s a collection of essays and Brooklyn guides by different authors. So like how Sheepshead bay fishing was shut down because of pollution. And mentions one of oldest Sheepshead Bay families that still operates since 1918.

8. The Weekly Nabe http://theweeklynabe.com/2012/08/27/sheepshead-bay-brooklyn-history/

Its interesting and just inspiring source how to organize the final version of my paper.

Ideally I will also find those two and review them as well . Merlis, Brian, Lee A. Rosenzweig, and I. Stephen. Miller. Brooklyn’s Gold Coast: The Sheepshead Bay Communities. Brooklyn: Sheepshead Bay Historical Society, 1997. Print.and Lines, Ruth L. The Story of Sheepshead Bay, Manhattan Beach and the Sheepshead Bay Library. Brooklyn, NY: Publisher Not Identified, 1949. Print.
