The township of Wayne has grown throughout the years and adapted to the challenges presented. However, the AvalonBay development plans to completely change Wayne negatively. The “U.S Newswire”, “AvalonBay in Wayne” and “Edgewater fire” all describe the poor history AvalonBay had in other towns and as a company. It 's poor construction method and unsafe working conditions have created destruction in other towns and now plan to make a move into Wayne, so I say go away AvalonBay.
The navy workspace is most commonly out on the sea, on a ship, or in a submarine. Part of the Navy’s mission is to maintain freedom of the seas, thus the sea is their workplace. The design of many of these vessels does not allow for tremendous amounts of space or access to the outside world. A ship in the middle of the ocean is constricting of a person’s mobility. Thus the ideal is to function as a crew and to work as a unit in order to accomplish the goal. The tight quarters emphasize connecting with your fellow shipmates.
The NDAA budget exceeds the $619 billion budget presented by Congress with a total $700 billion need for things such as new navy ships, fighter jets, and an increased pay for current military officers (Source 2). The budget set by NDAA also exceeds the 2011 Budget Control Act. This is problematic as since most of the budget money were to be going towards other aspects besides climate change, coastal military bases would receive not nearly as much as they need to fully protect themselves against the risks of climate change consequences. In addition to budget problems, the NDAA is nothing radical or new. There are several acts that have been issued with the same outline as NDAA, or some even go into more detail about climate change and the preparation for such consequences, as NDAA does not order that bases must create a plan to deal with these effects of climate change.
Anthem is one of the United States’ largest health insurance companies. It is the largest managed health care company in the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. In February of 2015, hackers stole the names, social security numbers, medical IDs, physical addresses, e-mail addresses, employment information, income data, birth dates and other personal information of about 80 million Anthem and other Blue Cross and Blue Shield members and former members. It is believed to be the largest cyber-attack that has ever occurred in health care history. It has been described as a very sophisticated attack. The source of this attack is still unknown, but several reports have linked it to Chinese hackers. All the company’s product lines were affected including Anthem Blue Cross, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and others. Anthem has 37.5 million members enrolled in its affiliated health plans and serves 68.5 million people through all its subsidiary businesses, which includes Medicaid.

In modern day business, there can be so many pressures that can cause managers to commit fraud, even though it often starts as just a little bit at first, but will spiral out of control with time. In the case of WorldCom, there were several pressures that led executives and managers to “cook the books.” Much of WorldCom’s initial growth and success was due to acquisitions. Over time, WorldCom discovered that there were no more opportunities for growth through acquisitions when the U.S. Department of Justice disallowed the acquisition of Sprint.
Atlantic Computer is a large manufacturer of servers and other high-tech products. They are known for providing premium high end servers. Atlantic Computer’s is in the process of introducing Tronn, a new basic server, which includes Performance Enhancing Server Accelerator (PESA) software. This software will allow Tronn to perform up to four times faster than its standard speed. Therefore these two new products were specifically designed to sell as a bundle or “Atlantic Bundle.” Jason Jowers, fresh off of his MBA degree is responsible for developing the pricing strategy for the “Atlantic Bundle. After much research Jowers narrowed down to four different routes on how the bundle can be priced: status quo, competitive, cost-plus, or value-in.
To those without military knowledge or experience, particularly of the Navy, there are three traditional community areas of the Navy.

Each community grows into a culture embracing their unique esprit de corps.
A significant portion of the Coast Guard is not required to maintain any physical fitness standard. Requiring boatcrew members and law enforcement personnel to pass the physical fitness test; it puts a burden on the members for the extra time to maintain this standard. To change the current boat crew physical fitness test to a Coast Guard wide physical fitness test. It would benefit the Coast Guard and start to create a healthier lifestyle. The Coast Guard should require all members to pass the boat crew physical fitness standards.
Communication is the basis by which a company can become successful and achieve a competitive advantage. Information must be able to flow between departments especially if such departments are located globally. The need for communication is what generated the idea that became the company known as Cisco. Husband and wife Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner, both working for Stanford University, wanted to email each other from their respective offices located in different buildings but were unable to due to technological shortcomings (The Network, 2016). The need for communication brought Bosak and Lerner to create the first multi-protocol router, which was the start of Cisco. The name Cisco was derived from the city San Francisco
Currently, International system is focusing on issues related with maritime security. Maritime security coxncern with threats that prevail in the maritime domain (Klein 2011; Kraska and Pedrozo 2013; Roach 2004; Vrey 2010, 2013). These threats include interstate-dispute, terrorism, piracy, drugs trafficking, people and illicit foods, arms proliferation, illegal fishing, environmental crimes, as well as accidents and disaster which happen in maritime domain. Thus, generally, maritime security can be defined as the absence of those threats. Meanwhile, there is an argument that inter-states dispute should be categorized as national security instead of maritime security. Thus, there is another definition of maritime security which define maritime security as good or stable order at sea (Till 2004; Vrey 2010; Kraska and Pedrozo 2013: 1). The definition of maritime security from one to another is different as the scope of maritime security is broad and each actor has different point of view on the issue. There is no universal legal definition about maritime security. The United Nation itself only
People have been using physical security measures such as barriers for protection for centuries (McCrie, 2007). Every living thing uses physical security to protect their home, family, and themselves with some form of barriers. These barriers can be either man-made or natural as long as they define, delay, or detect unauthorized access (Fennelly, 2004). These barriers are used to protect not only the facility but the assets located inside. I will describe these barriers starting from the outside and working into the facility.
