FEMA defines critical infrastructure as "personnel, physical assets, and communication (cyber) systems that must be intact and operational 24x7x365 in order to ensure survivability, continuity of operations, and mission success, or in other words, the essential people, equipment, and systems needed to deter or mitigate the catastrophic results of disasters."

...Benefits Employee benefits and regulatory compliance has evolved over time with the discovery and growth of the United States. Prior to the industrial revolution, most people lived and worked on farms or as craftsmen and “retirement” was something that usually occurred when you could no longer do manual labor. Many were struck down by illness, disease or accident and never made it to retirement age. Without the life-saving drugs and medical care we have today the average life expectancy was barely thirty years. With the advent of the industrial revolution, however, many farm dwellers traded their independence for membership in the ranks of a growing urbanized workforce searching for adequate wages and job security. Employers had a dilemma – they wanted to attract and retain workers while still paying no more than necessary, but also needed workers to leave employment when they became too old or costly. The evolving field of actuarial science was being applied to the fledgling life insurance industry and in turn used to develop pension plans to meet this employer objective. The Revenue Act of 1942 established minimum coverage rules in the tax code that prohibited employers from providing richer pension benefits to only higher paid employees. Employers also were now able to “integrate” and offset their contribution to Social Security benefits against the employer-provided pension benefit. This offset could result in a smaller or no pension benefit, especially for lower...

... are just two examples of people who did not have degrees yet creates some of the largest companies. The E (employee) quadrant might say, “I am looking for a safe, secure job with a good pay and excellent benefits. The S (self-employed) quadrant might say, “My rate is $75 per hour,” or “My normal commission rate is six percent of the total price.” A person from the B (business owner) quadrant might say, “I’m looking for a new president to run my company.” Someone operating out of the I (investor) quadrant might say, “Is my cash flow based on the internal rate of return or net rate of return?” Each quadrant has core differences of its own which define what each of quadrant is about. The E (employee) quadrant is based on certainty and security. If a formal and official agreement is made between an employee and employer, the employee finds comfort in believing that they are entitled to additional rewards or assured extras. The mindset of an employee is controlled by the emotion of fear, causing them to set standards for themselves and posing statements such as , “I’ll give you this if you promise to give me that in return. “ Whereas the S (self employed) quadrant rely completely on themselves and are often viewed as fiercely independent souls. The self employed individuals are known to be people who prefer being the ones who determine how much they earn and what can/should be achieved. They are best described as the do-it-yourselfers.

...Weak USA Cyber Policy vs China’s Security Threat to the USA? Abstract A cyber spy network based mainly in China hacked into classified documents from government and private organizations. One of the biggest questions still remains unanswered. Should the U.S. Congress conduct an in depth assessment of Chinese cyber spying and consider imposing tougher penalties on companies that benefit from industrial espionage. In this paper I will review china’s cyber threat and possible USA solutions to protect against the threat. Could Weak USA Cyber Policy be the cause of China’s Security Threat? U.S. corporations and cyber security specialists have reported an daily attack of computer network intrusions originating from China. Of the seven cases that were adjudicated under the Economic Espionage Act in 2010, six involved a link to China. U.S. corporations and cyber security specialists have reported a huge increase of computer network intrusions originating from China. Some of these reports have alleged a Chinese corporate or government sponsor of the activity, but the U.S. intelligence community has not been able to confirm these reports. In a study released in February, McAfee attributed an intrusion attempt they labeled Night Dragon to a Chinese Internet Protocol (IP) address and indicated the intruders stole data from the computer systems of petrochemical companies (Minnick, W. 11 Dec, 2011).” So could the problem be U.S. Cyber policy? I believe congressional committees...

...from, disasters. FEMA also coordinates federal emergency management activities and planning for the continuity of government should national security be threatened. Since 1979 FEMA has administered a range of authorities that enable the agency to serve as the primary source of federal technical and financial assistance for emergency management. Among the types of aid provided through FEMA programs are grants and material to help disaster victims meet pressing needs such as food and shelter, education and training programs to improve the response capabilities of nonfederal officials, and mobile communications equipment. FEMA exercises little regulatory authority, but directives that underlie the agency’s mission authorize the agency to establish standards for reconstruction of buildings after a disaster declaration is issued, for the construction of federal buildings in earthquake-prone areas, and for the operation of first responder equipment. FEMA has responded to, and has helped communities prepare for, terrorist attacks in the United States. The Office of Homeland Security (OHS), established by President Bush subsequent to the attacks in 2001, has a similar, but more encompassing, mission related to disasters caused by terrorist actions. Congressional debate on the contours and framework for federal administration of homeland security might include...

...several industries, including mining, lumber, and railroads, developed group industrial clinics with plans that prepaid doctors a fixed monthly fee to provide medical care to employees for industrial accidents and common illnesses. 1900-1910 Although AMA (American Medical association) was formed in 1847 with the main goal mainly being to protect their financial well being but not limited to focusing on standardizing medical education. It was not until 1900 when it reorganizes into national organization of state and local associations. In 1910 memberships increase from about 8,000 physicians in 1900 to 70,000 in 1910 -- half the physicians in the country. This started the period of “organized medicine.” 1920-1929 1920, technology advances increase the quality of medical training in the United States. The establishment of hospitals became the symbol of the institutionalization of health care. 1928, penicillin is discovered but not utilized until decades later.

...Union Budget 2014-15 10th July, 2014 Union Budget 2014-15 Budget 2014-15 Holistic Plan of Action In comparison to the less than ordinary and unimaginative budgetary proposals of yester years, Modi’s maiden budget comes as a welcome change from the norm. The proposals and reforms suggested in the Union Budget 2014-15 are ground breaking, specific with a good measure of thought & common sense and vastly catered for holistic growth of the economy. The challenging circumstances of a slowing economy, soaring energy prices, inflation, fiscal and current account deficits do not provide adequate leeway to maneuver and hit the path of high growth. Yet the Budget provides a comprehensive plan and directional footprint towards overcoming these hurdles to sustainable growth of 7-8% over the next few years along with providing macro economic stability, lowered inflation, realistic fiscal health targeting and a manageable current account deficit. Country is in no mood to suffer unemployment & apathetic governance 10th July, 2014 Union Budget 2014-15 Budget 2014-15 Holistic Plan of Action The Finance Minister while presenting the budget takes cognizance of the fact that decisive action to fuel growth without populism is the need of the hour. And that resources for developmental expenditure cannot be raised at the cost of burdening the future generations with the legacy of debt. He goes on to emphasize the need to mobilize resources through both tax and non-tax...
