Q1

Hypothetical: You are assigned to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Maritime Protection Interagency Taskforce (MPIT) for Baltimore, Maryland.  A cargo ship from Madagascar has been seized by U.S. authorities in Baltimore.  During a random port entry inspection, a shipping container was discovered with twenty persons being smuggled into the U.S. illegally. The story has attracted international press attention. Federal officials have vowed to crack down on the use of cargo shipping for the trafficking of persons into the United States.  One initiative being considered is the launching of a program to inspect every container on cargo ships entering U.S. ports.  Your DHS MPIT supervisor has tasked you with drafting an outline of pros and cons for the new initiative. 

1. Write an outline containing three reasons in favor of the proposed initiative and three reasons against the proposed initiative.  Present a brief rationale for each reason listed.

Q4

Find and read a quantitative peer-reviewed journal article that relates to your topic in which the researchers use existing data (a dataset versus collecting their own data). What information about the dataset do the researchers include? How do they describe their research methods? Which variables do they analyze and why? What are their hypotheses? What statistical analyses so they use?

Explain why discussing the data and methods is important to establish the validity and reliability of the research. Discuss any critiques you have of the Methods/Data section of the article. Are they missing any information that would be useful to the understanding of the research? (Include an APA citation of the article.)

Q5

Q6

For this week's discussion, you are going back to taking on the role of kitchen/restaurant manager and providing another training session for your employees. You may choose any topic that was covered in week 4 or 5 – storage, preparation, or service. The difference this time is that you do not need to find a scenario online – you will be "teaching" just one aspect. However, feel free to include a link to a source that supports your chosen training method as being an effective way to train employees.

Every post should be on a different topic, so the title of your post should identify your topic (i.e. thawing safely, calibrating a thermometer, checking internal temperatures, cooling food safely, avoiding cross contamination, storage order, etc.

Please challenge yourself a bit and fully develop your mini training session. Do not post "Always hold glasses by the stem, not the rim" and call it service training. 

Begin by describing how you will train your employees on this particular topic. Will you be giving them an infographic, a training manual, or a demonstration? Give your reasoning for the training method chosen.

Follow that with the actual training – again, you may record yourself giving a demonstration, or post an infographic that you created as an attachment or write out the section in the training manual.
