The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Friday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.Biotechnology allows the use of living organisms or their processes for human needs or purposes. Currently, this topic includes such general examples as cloning, stem cells (adult, umbilical cord, and embryonic), DNA fingerprinting, biological warfare, bioremediation, genetically modified organisms, vaccines, and transgenic plants and animals to name a few. In this assignment, you will explore specific examples of biotechnology applications. is the use of a living thing or any part of a living thing to make a product or process that improves human life. For this part of the assignment, discuss the following:In 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved food derived from cloned animals. In addition, these products will not need to be labeled as “cloned” or “from clones” (Black, 2008). The FDA explains that you will not be eating the clone itself. It takes thousands of dollars to clone a food animal such as a cow or pig. Animals that are cloned for improved food production will be used for a breeding program to produce many offspring with the desirable traits for increased meat or milk yield. These offspring of the clones will be fair game for food. Discuss the following:Black, R. (2008). . Retrieved from the BBC News Web site: Provide references in APA format.

  Every organization needs defined Processes and Controls to assure quality and consistency.      In the traditional mindset, the owner or some other authority specifies, designs, and mandates the organization\’s Processes and Controls. With the machine age, efficiency experts, process engineers, and other experts.  Lookup the work of Fredrick Taylor, Henri Fayol, and other innovators in the field of \”scientific management\” (Scott & Davis, 2007, (Bolman & Deal, 2003). These \”scientific management\” experts took a structured view of work (tasks and sub-tasks) and measured/recorded every second spent at work.   The management revolution of the 1980\’s and 1990\’s was primarily based on Business Process Reengineering. Business Process Reengineering is based on the idea that the persons who know a process best are those who do the work. Once you accept that you can look at processes, process controls and hand-offs effectively and look to see how technology needs to be integrated, you can begin to create dynamic organizations that self manage and will scale organically. The goal of Business Process Reengineering is to make larger organizations function like dynamic Entrepreneurial startups. This is done by giving ownership over processes to the process owners.   Business Process Reengineering has had mixed results and has earned a negative connotation due some very poor applications of the process. According to Dennis, Carte, and Kelly ( 2002), Business Process Reengineering fails when:  ◾The implementation team fails to identify the right audience in the requirement gathering phase.◾Does not involve the right audience or associates in the testing phases.◾Does not conduct proper root cause analysis sessions and as such does not truly understand the process.◾Fails to have sufficient the senior, executive, and middle leadership support.        References: Bolman, L.

Discuss the \”baby boom\” population structure in the U.S.  (What IS the baby boom generation? What is their age range?)
