...communities. With year round sunshine that attracts not only vacationers but also retirees. The aging population in our community is substantially large and is about to explode. Those born in the baby boom era following the end of World War II, between the years of 1946 and 1964 are just hitting the retirement age. We can expect to see our aging population grow and challenge our local health care facilities and the health care market in general over the next few years. Although the U.S. Census Bureau population estimates are not available for 2011 as of yet for our community, we can see on the quick facts chart below where we stood in 2010. People Quick Facts | Bullhead City, Arizona | Population, 2011 estimate | NA | Population, 2010 | 39,540 | Population, percent change, 2000 to 2010 | 17.1% | Population, 2000 | 33,769 | Persons under 5 years, percent, 2010 | 5.4% | Persons under 18 years, percent, 2010 | 19.6% | Persons 65 years and over, percent, 2010 | 23.9% | Female persons, percent, 2010 | 50.6% | (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). As shown above, our small community grew by 17.1% over 10 years between 2000 and 2010. It is unknown how much that percentage could change between 2010 and 2020 based on the aging Baby Boomer population, but it is likely that it could double or even triple. Based on this information and that the cost of living is lower here than the national average our community is becoming a popular retirement destination. According...

...Son Nguyen Discussion Questions 01 Chapter 1 1) Are all laws moral? Should all laws be moral? How should morality be determined? Generally speaking, all laws are moral. However, due to the fact that laws were created by certain group in society, the moral implied in the law is only a representation of that group’s moral values. In addition, the moral values are varying from individual based on their education level, ethics, culture, etc. As a result, it would be really difficult to say that all laws should be moral. Moreover, depend on the personal references, morality would be perceived differently. 2) Which is more important, morality or justice? Justice could be plainly defined as the fairness in society: punishment for the wrong doing, equality for everyone. However, the definition for wrongs and rights doing would be heavily relying on personal reference related to morality. As a result, we could conclude that morality and justice are coexist and equally important. 3) In some cultures, being involved in a lawsuit is something about which to be ashamed. Our society has been criticized for being overly litigious. In fact, we even go on television to sue in "The People's Court" and other similar shows. Is our culture “sue-happy?” Should access to the court system be restricted? I strongly believed that our culture is sue-happy due to the fact that you could sue everybody for almost everything. However, the access to the court system should not...

...New Zealanders have a love affair with their houses. Saving a deposit for your first home is a common life priority. The mortgage payments and running expenses that follows consume a significant amount of household resources. However, as families evolve and grow, their living requirements also change, for example, a spare room may be needed to accommodate study or home business, or an older child or national tax system for home ownership many New Zealander acquire additional rental properties. These are often seen as an effective retirement fund and a physical symbol of wealth and comfort. Additionally, with our love of the outdoors and a mainstay of New Zealand culture being the summary vacation to the beach, mountain, lakes, or rivers, we invariably require accommodation in these often very remote areas. Introduction In an age of increasing climate change there is a need to consider the sustainability and environment al impacts of our housing and accommodation choices. The greening of the built environment is a result of greater public awareness, information and understanding of how the buildings we live, work and play in affect the natural environment, our bank balances and our health. But what to do we really mean when we say a product is green? It is a broad term that people are instantly drawn to but can only vaguely define. It is often linked to other words such as ‘sustainable’, ‘environmental’, ‘carbon footprint’, ‘ecological’, ‘carbon neutral’, biodegradable’,...

Most medical facilities have procedures daily but not all of their cases need x-ray, so it would be best for them to hire a temp rather than have a regular tech. IN-DEPTH MOBILE RADIOLOGY will base its main facility in the area of Palm Springs and Indio California by the 10 freeway for easier access to walk in clients. After surveying the area of southern California, we found that the Palm Springs area is one of the top 25 places to retire and we saw the need for our mobile radiology service by marketing to the retirement facilities in the district. Palm Springs is a perfect location to retire to because it’s appeal has the feel of living in the desert town.

...(75-84), and oldest old (85 & over), and the frail old (anyone over 65 with physical or cognitive disabilities). The US census bureau estimated in 2011, the population of elderly persons 65 and over living in the U.S. to be 311,501,917. Between 2000 and 2010, the population 65 and over grew at a faster rate than any other population in the United States, 15.1% compared to 9.7% of the rest of the US population. Thirteen percent of the population is elderly; 55.2% are married, 32% live with family members, 51.7% are female, 48.3% are male, 60% are white, 17% are black, 18% are Hispanic, and 5% are other races. Education wise, 10.9% have less than a 9th grade , 10.3% have attended between 9th and 12th grade but did not receive a diploma, 36.4% are high school graduates, 20.6% have some college, and 22.5% have Bachelor’s degree or greater. It is estimated that elderly between the ages of 65-84 are doubling as the baby boomers age, with 85 and over being the fastest growing group due to elderly people living longer (US Census Bureau, 2012). As one ages, there are often cognitive changes and physical disabilities, especially with vision and hearing. It becomes more difficult to remain independent, so a lot of the elderly rely more on family support, agencies, assisted living places, or even institutions....

...COMPENSATION ADMINISTRATION Compensation administration is a segment of management or human resource management focusing on planning, organizing, and controlling the direct and indirect payments employees receive for the work they perform. Compensation includes direct forms such as base, merit, and incentive pay and indirect forms such as vacation pay, deferred payment, and health insurance. Compensation does not refer, however, to other kinds of employee rewards such as recognition ceremonies and achievement parties. The ultimate objectives of compensation administration are: efficient maintenance of a productive workforce, equitable pay, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations based on what companies can afford. The basic concept of compensation administration—compensation management—is rather simple: employees perform tasks for employers and so companies pay employees wages for the jobs they do. Consequently, compensation is an exchange or a transaction, from which both parties—employers and employees—benefit: both parties receive something for giving something. Compensation, however, involves much more than this simple transaction. From the employer's perspective, compensation is an issue of both affordability and employee motivation. Companies must consider what they can reasonably afford to pay their employees and the ramifications of their decisions: will they affect employee turnover and productivity? In addition, some employers and managers believe...

...New Belgium Brewing: Ethical and Environmental Responsibility1 Although most of the companies frequently cited as examples of ethical and socially responsible firms are large corporations, it is the social responsibility initiatives of small businesses that often have the greatest impact on local communities and neighborhoods. These businesses create jobs and provide goods and services for customers in smaller markets that larger corporations often are not interested in serving. Moreover, they also contribute money, resources, and volunteer time to local causes. Their owners often serve as community and neighborhood leaders, and many choose to apply their skills and some of the fruits of their success to tackling local problems and issues that benefit everyone in the community. Managers and employees become role models for ethical and socially responsible actions. One such small business is the New Belgium Brewing Company, Inc., based in Fort Collins, Colorado. History of the New Belgium Brewing Company The idea for the New Belgium Brewing Company began with a bicycling trip through Belgium. Belgium is arguably the home of some of the world’s finest ales, some of which have been brewed for centuries in that country’s monasteries. As Jeff Lebesch, an American electrical engineer, cruised around that country on his fat-tired mountain bike, he wondered if he could produce such high-quality beers back home in Colorado. After acquiring the special strain of yeast used to brew Belgian-style...

...Estimation of optimal serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D for multiple health outcomes1–3 Heike A Bischoff-Ferrari, Edward Giovannucci, Walter C Willett, Thomas Dietrich, and Bess Dawson-Hughes Downloaded from ajcn.nutrition.org at UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO SCIENCE LIBRARY on September 23, 2012 ABSTRACT Recent evidence suggests that vitamin D intakes above current recommendations may be associated with better health outcomes. However, optimal serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] have not been defined. This review summarizes evidence from studies that evaluated thresholds for serum 25(OH)D concentrations in relation to bone mineral density (BMD), lowerextremity function, dental health, and risk of falls, fractures, and colorectal cancer. For all endpoints, the most advantageous serum concentrations of 25(OH)D begin at 75 nmol/L (30 ng/mL), and the best are between 90 and 100 nmol/L (36 – 40 ng/mL). In most persons, these concentrations could not be reached with the currently recommended intakes of 200 and 600 IU vitamin D/d for younger and older adults, respectively. A comparison of vitamin D intakes with achieved serum concentrations of 25(OH)D for the purpose of estimating optimal intakes led us to suggest that, for bone health in younger adults and all studied outcomes in older adults, an increase in the currently recommended intake of vitamin D is warranted. An intake for all adults of 1000 IU (40 g) vitamin D (cholecalciferol)/d is needed to bring vitamin...
