...have always required a concept paper be submitted for review prior to the submission of a full proposal. In recent years federal and state agencies have begun to encourage the use of concept papers as a way for applicants to obtain informal feedback on their ideas and projects prior to preparing a proposal. Some of these agencies now require a concept paper be submitted as part of the formal submission process. The purpose of a concept paper, from the funding agency’s point of view, is to help applicants develop more competitive proposals and to save time by eliminating proposals that are not likely to be funded. The applicant’s purpose in developing a concept paper is to capture the interest of the funding agency and demonstrate that the idea they are proposing is worthy of further consideration. Therefore, the first sentences of a concept paper are very important. You want the funding agency representatives or board members to continue reading! The first section (Introduction) should include some information about the funding agency. You need to demonstrate that you have done your homework and understand the mission of the funding agency and the types of projects that they support. Then you need to identify the agency you represent and how the missions of your agency and the funding agency mesh.

...Work is no longer a domestic relationship and we also saw that master as employer have great control their servant/employees in their work performance. Control becomes an important key to determine if a person is an employee as of today or to show if there is an employment relationship. There are differences between employees and independent contractors, an independent contractor is a person who agrees to deliver a certain outcome whereas an employee, who must obey instructions from his or her employer in the discharge of his duties, so independent contractor act independently from the principal that hires him.The independent contractor can delegate others to complete the job as the principal is not concerned with how the contractor does it, so long the outcome is achieved. Using control test from the common law, we can determine that Amanda is an employee of the company as the company control her working hours. We are concerned with the nature of the control and the degree of the control – Federal Commissioner of Taxation V J Walter Thompson (Aust) Pty Ltd (1994) Case. In Walter Thompson case, the company hired artists to perform radio plays for advertisements. The High court of Australia found that the producer controlled the actors during rehearsals and performance and held that there is an employment relationship here. Thus , we can use this case to prove that Amanda is an employee of the company. We can use the multi factor test to determine whether Amanda is the...

...When thinking critically about Benjamin Franklin’s view on the poor laws, it became apparent that his views were connected to the views of a conservative. Benjamin Franklin believed that “the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it” (Williams, H.,1994). Analyzing Benjamin’s meaning behind this statement is thought provoking; from a conservative point of view this statement can be perceived as individuals needing to take care of them selfs without any help from social services or government agencies. Benjamin Franklin believed that all individuals should be solely responsible for themselves and their economic welfare even if they were to become disabled or elderly, the belief was that they should have prepared for the unknown (Williams, H., 1994). Franklin took the stance that the poor laws made individuals dependent on others to provide for them, which then would lead to increased poverty and reliance on government supports. Franklin argued that the less you provide for individuals forces the individual to do for themselves, promoting independence, self worth and riches. Although Franklin believed that getting assistance form private charities could be harmful; he also believed that if the government was able to delegate how the programs were managed then this would prove to be 1 more effective (Williams, H., g82). The view that the government would be able to police the programs to ensure that individuals...

It will as well identify the trends of human services, and identifying qualities of human service agency's associate with and how the office contributes to success.

...of Hawaii’s most profound agencies known in the State of Hawaii that is correlated with human services is “Helping Hands Hawaii.” Although there are many agencies that have different approaches, human services rely on agencies that are most cost-efficient yet effective. Interoperability plays a major role in the future of human services. It is the “ability of two or more systems to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged” (Schoech, 2010). The three possible models for approaching interoperability in the human services are Loosely Linked Network Model, Network Model, and Top-Down Model. Human services emphasize in the importance of interoperability, as agencies collaborate with the same identified need to help others. Helping Hands Helping Hands Hawai’i manages numerous programs that benefit the people of Hawaii; this includes Behavioral Health Programs, Ready to Learn, Emergency Assistance Program and many more. Their mission is to support the community by improving the quality of people’s lives through the delivery of goods and services to those who are in need.

Nonmarket environment is composed of the social, political and legal arrangements that structure interactions (between the firm and individuals, interest groups, govt. entities, and the public which are intermediated not by markets but by public and private institutions) outside of, but in conjunction with, markets and contracts.

...expenses if Bills could find him another acting gig. The next night in a room at the Bay Hotel, Bills and Phillips were smoking marijuana; Bills’s lit marijuana cigarette caused a fire and burned down the hotel. Phillips was sued by Valley Television Productions for breach of contract and by the Bay Hotel for Bills’s negligence of starting the fire. Bills was also sued by the Valley Productions for breach of contract and filed for unemployment compensation after Phillips terminated their business relationship. RULES A fiduciary relationship results when one person (the principal) manifests her consent that another person (the agent) will act on her behalf and subject to her control, and the agent manifests his consent to so act. An agency by agreement relationship is based on an express or implied agreement that the agent will act for the principal. As per the Equal Dignity Rule, if a contract being executed by an agent on the principal’s behalf is written, most states require that the agent’s authority must also be evidenced by writing; otherwise, the contract executed by the agent is voidable at the principal’s option. However, a principal’s express or implied affirmation of a previously unauthorized contract made by, or other act of, a purported agent will result in ratification by the principal. Express or implied affirmation entails:...

...Medical Malpractice and Informed Consent In order to prove that Dr. Green was negligent in her treatment of Mr. Parker the plaintiff needed to prove that Dr. Green did not perform her duty, breached her duty, caused the injures, and that she suffered damaged. In this case, Dr. Green did not exercise reasonable care under the circumstances by not following the manufactures stated dosing instructions and prescribing the incorrect dose in both oral and written instructions. Dr. Green violated her breach of duty by failing to meet the applicable standard of care. It would be hard to argue that others physicians would have prescribed the incorrect dose in their standard treatment of care. It is my opinion that plaintiff would succeed in proving that Dr. Green did not perform her duty and breached her duty. While the statement of facts presented does not state the amount that is needed to overdose on pentamite or what effects of an incorrect dosage will have on an individual taking pentamite, the plaintiff could argue that taking the prescribed dosage of 10 times the stated dose by the manufacturer for two weeks caused the heart attack that ended Mr. Parker’s life. Dr. Green could argue that the dizzy spells were a sign of a medical condition that no matter what treatment she gave, the heart attack that ended Mr. Parker’s life could have happened and she did not cause it. In order to estimate the success of this claim I would need more information about pentamite and need...

...Most government agencies are wasteful. But NASA is a vital agency to this nation because it does push our country to develop technology. A lot of good science comes out of NASA. The sad thing is that NASA is run by politicians who cannot or do not understand the agencies mission or its value to the economy. NASA's budget, although large compared to the average income, is very small compared to the national budget. It is one of the few agencies of the US government that actually put more money into the economy that it takes out. I think it is a worthwhile endeavor to explore the things around us. One positive thing about human curiosity is the survival value it brings. According to News.com “A new private space industry could create ten thousand new jobs across the country in five years.” NASA and the aerospace industry provide thousands of jobs across the country they do more than just space exploration they also monitor our environment from space, procure satellites for other agencies and develop the next generation of aircraft technologies. I think President Obama’s reasons are not directly related to the current state of the economy. He has made clear that his priorities are the re-distribution of wealth away from those that are producing it to supply the needs of those that are not producing it. If the economy was booming, President Obama would not reinstate the programs he has canceled. But he will earn the political favor of those that he temporarily pretends to help...
