5 2 journal memory management in practice

by

Create a journal assignment in preparation for the memory management assessment elements of your final project.

Identify a graphical or command line utility that displays the allocation of virtual memory on your workstation. For example, memory_pressure provides information about the state of memory pages on OS X. The command or utility you choose must be part of the standard operating system’s distribution. Do not use third-party utilities. You are encouraged to select an operating system different from the one you used in previous lab exercises.

Execute the command and report on your findings in a journal assignment that provides insight into how the command you selected displays physical and virtual memory.

For additional details, please refer to the Module Five Journal Guidelines and Rubric document.

community based interventions che6305

Instructions

McLeroy, Norton, Kegler, Burdine, and Sumaya (2003), in “Community-Based Interventions,” provided a useful typology for contrasting perspectives in community focus for incorporation in interventions. The community was presented as a setting, a target, a resource, and an agent. The application of these various perspectives results in a continuum of community-based interventions. In the light of the above statement, describe an affected community in these various roles in a major public health disaster in the U.S. We know of hurricanes Katrina and Rita and wildfires in California. Feel free to cite personal examples or experiences to substantiate your claims.

Your response should be a minimum of two pages in length exclusive of cover page and references. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations, per APA guidelines.

the case of the fired employee 1

by

The Case of the Fired Employee

Sally Birch, a vice president of the Acme Trailer Company, enjoyed a wonderful reputation as a capable and trustful financial officer. She, her husband, and their two children lived in a beautiful suburb in a large, comfortable home. The president of a competitor firm, International Trailers Ltd., wanted to hire Birch for a similar position and offered her an increased salary and many employee benefits. The President of International had an extensive phone conversation with her about this offer. Birch accepted the offer, sold her home, moved to the city in which her new employer was located, and purchased a home there. She did not have a written contract, but she was told she had a great future with the company and was given a salary of $150,000 per year with a promise of a promotion every 6 months for the first two years. A bonus could be paid to her after 18 months on the job.

Four months after Birch joined the company, she was fired because of a downturn in the trailer production business, requiring a scaling back of expenses at International. She sued International for a breach of contract.

The Trial

During the trial, Sally testified about the reputation she had earned while at Acme Trailer and the wonderful life that she and her family had enjoyed. She told of the difficulties involved in moving, the expense of buying a new home, and the uprooting of her family. She described the difficulties involving in selling her new home and looking for a new position.

An officer of International testified about the recession in the trailer industry and how economic conditions were such that if International failed to cut expenses, it might be forced out of business.

The Arguments at Trial

Sally’s attorney argued that although she did not have a written contract, oral representations made to her implied that her job would last longer than a year; that she was going to earn a yearly salary indicated that her employment would, at a minimum, last at least two years. The attorney stressed the difficulties involved in the move and the expenses occurred by the Birch family, arguing that it would be unfair to terminate her employment except for cause relating to her activities. The argument was also made that the “employment at will” doctrine was an outmoded and unfair concept and should not be applied based on the facts in this case.

International’s attorney argued that the lack of a written contract and the existence in the state in which International was located of the “termination at will” doctrine gave International the right to terminate Birch’s employment at any time for any reason, particularly when economic conditions required cutting the expenses, including termination of the employment of executives with high salaries.

Questions for Discussion

  1. Based on the facts of this case, who do you think should prevail, Birch or International? Why?
  2. Are there other facts that would make it easier for the court to decide who should prevail?
  3. Do you feel that the employment at will doctrine should no longer apply? If so, who should make the change, the legislatures or the courts? Why?
