Use the following assumptions: the nuclear weapon has a 15kt yield; it is detonated in downtown Austin, TX, on the University of Texas campus; the detonation occurs during on a Wednesday at about 11 AM, during February, in a year when the Texas Legislature is in session. There is a 5-10 mph wind from the North-West. Skies are clear. The weapon is detonated at ground level at the point specified on the photo below. THINK about these parameters and the conditions in Austin during such a week day. (Your paper should be 7-10 pages in length, double spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. font, with 1 inch margins. Prepare you paper using APA style. Incorporate a cover page and reference list (not counted as part of the paper length). You must use at least five (5) different references. You may NOT use Wikipedia. You may NOT use more than three (3) Internet based references)

Topic: Emergency Management Doctrine Which phase of emergency management do you find most important and why: mitigation, preparedness, response, or recovery? Where should the emergency manager and his or her staff be housed within local government and why there? It is often found in various places such as a stand-alone agency, part of fire or police. What might it tell you based on where it is and the staffing level and resources allocated to the emergency management function? Next, where does an emergency operations center (EOC) and Fusion Center fit into the overall process. Finally, apply at least 1 biblical passage to the concept or practice of emergency management. Explain why you picked the passage and what it means to you. The student is required to provide a thread. Each thread is to be at least 275 words, cite at least 4 sources, and demonstrate course-related knowledge. Please use biblical verses.

Create a 2-3 page project summary that describes your chosen organization, a business problem or opportunity, the kind of data you will need, and how your topic allows you to demonstrate the MBA program outcomes. Introduction This course revolves around the creation of a single, significant capstone project. In other words, a project that caps off your learning and your program, allowing you to demonstrate the competencies of leadership and collaboration, ethical and evidence-based decision making, and innovative and strategic thinking. For your capstone, you will choose a real company and analyze it in a way that demonstrates your understanding of the MBA program outcomes. You will turn your analysis of that company into a written report with recommendations and a formal presentation for your intended audience. Having a solid, doable scope is an important part of creating a successful capstone project, and the exact scope is up to you. To help you establish a realistic scope, you will start with the project summary.

Be careful to consider the scalability of your project scope, ensuring that it demonstrates your ability to lead in a business environment and showcases your achievement of all MBA program outcomes. Examples A scope that is poorly defined: I want to write a general analysis of the bookseller, Barnes & Noble. This topic is too broad, and it would probably require hundreds of pages to address all of the possible analyses. A scope that is better defined: I want to focus on how Barnes & Noble has managed to survive the Internet age while Borders has crumbled. What makes this a better scope? The scope is grounded in a problem (such as how to survive Internet competition) or opportunity (such as the area lacking a business that you plan to open), which allows you to focus the analysis. It must also allow for you to analyze and suggest evidence-based recommendations, takeaways, or actionable next steps as the crux of your project.

Preparation Read the MBA Capstone Project Description [PDF]. Assessment Description For this assessment, introduce the organization you have chosen to research, why you chose it, and how it will allow you to demonstrate all of the MBA program outcomes. Write a 2–3 page paper, in an academic writing style, that details the topic and scope of your capstone project. Your project summary should be clear and concise yet thorough enough for faculty to provide feedback and guidance. Your project summary should be well organized and include the following sections: Describe the background of your chosen organization. Provide a brief background of your selected organization. For instance, discuss its product lines, number of years in business, organization structure, location, et cetera. If you choose an organization for which you work, your introduction must include a statement that you received permission to use the company from a supervisor. Describe a business topic, problem, or opportunity that you intend to research. Describe the problem or opportunity you see that makes this company a good choice.

Explain the scope of your project by clearly identifying the topics or areas you intend to research. Explain the level of accessibility to data necessary to examine the chosen business topic, problem, or opportunity. Address how you will go about obtaining the data. Identify any special requirements that you might need to meet to access the data you will need. Explain risks you think will be encountered and the mitigation plan to manage those risks. Explain how your topic will allow you to showcase your leadership ability by demonstrating each MBA program outcome. List out each program outcome clearly, and then explain in 3–4 sentences how your topic will allow you to demonstrate each. The MBA program outcomes are listed in the MBA Capstone Project Description. Identify specific items of your project summary that you believe demonstrates the outcome. Wrap up your paper with a clear, concise conclusion that summarizes your plan. Just a couple sentences is fine. Your project summary should have these sections: Introduction.

Statement of scope. Demonstration of outcomes. Conclusion. Submission Requirements Style: Your paper should follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document guidelines (available in the MBA Program Resources) for academic style. It should be double spaced, use subheadings, and be well organized and well written. Communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message and quality. APA guidelines: Format your paper according to current APA style and formatting. Resources: At least one resource should be a scholarly article or other content found in the Capella library, and one should be from the Wall Street Journal. If using Internet sources, evaluate them appropriately to make sure they are credible resources. Length: Your paper should be between 2–3 pages. Font and font size: Use 12 point, Times New Roman.

COUPLES COUNSELING – CASE EXAMPLE
John and Carla: A Case Example
John and Carla have been married for 7 years. They have two children,
aged 5 and 3. John is a computer technician and Carla has been a
homemaker since the birth of their first child. They live in a nice
neighborhood in one of the suburbs of a big city in Canada.
John and Carla when she travelled to Canada while on a vacation from
Latin America. She had been traveling with a group of friends but
upon meeting John, she ended up spending much of her remaining
vacation with him. They maintained a long distance relationship and
after 6 months they decided that Carla would immigrate to Canada and
that they would live together. They fell in love and got married a year
later.
He used to describe her as a “free spirit”, someone who could do the
wildest thing on a whim. He loved her spontaneity and genuineness.
2 / 5
Carla admired John’s brain and the way he made her laugh. She felt
safe with him and believed he was very dependable. In the beginning
of their relationship they got along really well and were very happy.
The first time they both started feeling that the relationship was not
working well was after the birth of their first child. Initially, both
wanted to have a baby and both were thrilled when their first daughter,
Charlotte, was born. However, in the months following the birth they
started arguing a lot about small things. Soon after, they started
blaming one another for various things. Carla blamed John for not
taking on a fair share of the baby’s care and house chores, and John
blamed Carla for criticizing him and for always nagging him about
“stupid little things”. Things had gotten so bad that they started
thinking about separating. However, they still wanted to give it a try
and in an attempt to mend things, they went away on a holiday, only to
discover a couple of weeks after their return that Carla was pregnant
again. At first they were both overwhelmed by the news, but then they
talked it through and agreed that it had probably been a sign that they
should stick together and raise their family. The next few months went
fairly well. Carla felt that John was taking care of her and making sure
she was comfortable and safe. Carla was mostly in a good mood and
tried to minimize her requests from John. Things were looking up.
However, shortly after the birth of their son, Sean, they started fighting
again. The tension in the house was getting worse every day. They
were both very tired and drained. Carla was feeling overwhelmed with
taking care of two children and she felt abandoned by John. She
started begging him to come home early, or not to go to work at all.
For his part, John was working more hours than ever. He often missed
dinner and when he did not, he would often say he was exhausted and
go to bed immediately after dinner. The bitterness and anger in the
relationship grew more and more until John told Carla one day that he
had rented an apartment, and was moving out. Carla was devastated.
Even though she was very unhappy in the relationship,
she did not expect that John would leave her especially, as an
immigrant, she had made sacrifices. She was desperate and begged
3 / 5
him to reconsider. They came to therapy as a “last resort”.
In therapy, it became clear that both Carla and John were not taking
care of their own needs. They were both exhausted and were feeling
completely tied down. Neither of them, especially Susan, was getting
any breathers. One of the first things that Carla and John learned in
therapy was to give each other some space and enable each other to
take care of themselves. They have worked out a plan whereby each of
them gets some time for themselves, 3 times a week. After 3 sessions,
the fighting has diminished but the couple was still feeling alienated
from one another.
In the next few sessions, we uncovered Carla and John’s cycle. It
looked somewhat like this: Carla or John would make a comment
about the kids, the house or a chore that needed to be done. The
partner would react to it resentfully and would make a nasty remark.
John would tend to withdraw and avoid Carla by going to bed or
taking off. Carla would get irritated and pursue John, wanting to settle
the matter on the spot. John would withdraw even further and would
not speak to Susan, sometimes for days. At some point Carla would
withdraw as well and they would not speak to each other for a few
days, until one of them would mention something trivial to the other
and they would start talking again.
In therapy, Carla and John were able to identify their insecurities
about the relationship. Susan’s pursuit of John was motivated by her
fear of abandonment; she feared he would leave her and was worried
that if they did not resolve their differences immediately, he would
leave. Each time John left the room or the house she interpreted it as
him leaving her and would get even more desperate. John was
withdrawing and avoiding Carla because he could not take the
conflict. It was just “too much” for him. It meant that they were not
getting along and that indeed there would be no alternative but to split
up. John admitted that he dreaded a split up too. Carla and John
learned that both had deep feelings for each other, and that both
valued their relationship and wanted to stay together. Carla learned to
4 / 5
give John some space and not pursue him when he was asking for a
time-out. John learned to give Carla a sign that meant that he was not
leaving her but just taking a time-out. With time, they also learned to
listen to each other in a way that validated each other’s feelings,
thoughts, hopes and wishes. They learned to work out their
differences in a respectful and non-defensive way. Possibly, the most
important thing they learned was that they had the tools, the ability
and the desire to make their relationship a safe and comforting place,
a sort of “safe haven” that couples can create for themselves and for
their families.
