1. Review question #2: False positives tend to make users insensitive to alarms, and thus reduce their reactivity to actual intrusion events. Also, false positive seems like an alert, but is in fact, routine activity. A false negative seems like normal activity and is in fact an alert-level action.

In this article, researchers noticed that racial disparities in health care are still prevalent in the United States and the outcome and treatments that blacks and Latinos, when compared to those of white patients, receive are as big as they were 50 years ago. The article looks at several different ways that institutions, such as the University of California, San Francisco, are introducing new methods to training programs that allow doctors in training to realize their own prejudices when working with patients. The article also discusses a 2007 Harvard study that shows that the traditional diversity training used in the 80’s and 90’s was not working and reinforces and confirms racial bias. In this study, researchers studied the disparities
Andrew Young Jr.: One of the Many Spiritual Leaders of The Civil Rights Movement When I think about the civil rights movement a few prominent names come to mind, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcom X. These highly influential people and many like them have served as the faces of the movement, but it is important to understand that the movement was a culmination of the works of many. Rooted in the spirituality of African-Americans, the civil rights movement called upon the entire community to work together and effect change in the world around them. Apart from Martin Luther King, Andrew Young Jr. was one of the many spiritual leaders who took on a prominent role in guiding African-Americans in the fight for equality.
The diversity program at Oakwood is motivated ONLY by the goals that are mentioned and practiced in the legal principles and guidelines. If something is not within the legal codes of the hospital, then its goals are neither said nor practiced. Oakwood’s diversity management program measures its effectiveness of the management through a process called AA/EEO. AA/EEO stands for Affirmative Action/ Equal Employment Opportunity that prohibits the perception and discernment of anyone. The Equal Employment Opportunity ensures that throughout the hiring process, every person, regardless of their race, will have a fair chance.
Diversity plays a big role in my community in, St. Cabrini Nursing Home. As social workers we work in different levels such as micro, mezzo, and macro and within those levels our clients are very diverse in many different ways. Diversity comes in many different forms such as age, race, color, religion, immigration status, culture, disability ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Those are just some or the many that define diversity. Diversity impacts my community in the nursing home because in this nursing home the majority of the residents are all Caucasians and the majority of the staff members are African Americans.

Unit 2 discussion Assignment Using one of the referenced website articles discuss how OS creates the illusion of virtualization by virtualizing the CPU. By running one process, then stopping it and running another, and so forth, the OS can promote the illusion that many virtual CPUs exist when in fact there is only one physical CPU (or a few). last week we learn and discussed about one of basic and fundamental concepts and what about of the operating system and in generally how it 's working and it 's own component that related to complete the work as a group like a team. from this perspective, I would use one of the reference website articles that given for this week and introduced to the concepts of operating systems and discuss one of the most fundamental abstraction that the operating system provides to us to use .
Cultural competence is an essential aspect of healthcare practice (Hart and Mareno, 2014).

My home has been a place where many a newborn have had their first glimpse of the world, both literally and figuratively. In a tiny village on the coast of Southern India, my parents, both surgeons, ran a small surgical and maternity hospital just by our home. My mother joyfully announced the birth of a newborn baby almost every single day of my lovely childhood. The figurative birth in my home was not long ago, when my father, after years of struggling with failed kidneys, finally received his new kidney from my aunt. As he sat up in his hospital bed, his cheeks, which were once puffy and pale, were now pink and his eyes shone bright when he said the words - “It’s like a fog has lifted”.
