Is based on the 6-episode Netflix documentary series of The Trial of Gabriel Fernandez. APA Manual of Style.5–6 pages in length. You are required to watch the 6 episodes of this documentary on Netflix, please plan accordingly so that you are able to watch the entire series. You should apply knowledge from the class readings withinand include citations from assigned class readings and text. This is an assessment of your ability to apply course materials and any additional child maltreatment related research and theories to this case. Pleaseinclude citations and references from the readings. You are required touse the terms learned in class to describe any instances of child maltreatment. Academic statements will be reviewed and I will be looking forfactual research and academic materialto bereferenced in an accurate manner. Your critical analysis of the case should be more than a summary but rather a well thought out and organized analysis of child maltreatment (including Risk & protective factors, abuse types, parental factors, child welfare response, etc.). Please do not write in a conversational, opinionated tone. Should be professionally and factually as possible with proper grammar. headings, citations and references are ALL correctly in APA style.

Gladwell’s talk is directed towards what makes people happy, but let’s see where we can take this idea. Think about how Gladwell’s talk can be applied to your own educational journey.

1. Draft a 100-200 word response commenting on what Gladwell’s presentation says to you about being an Integrative General Studies (BIGS) major OR, what it says to you about leadership skills (choose one or the other).  Some of the key points you might take note of and see how they could apply to your major and your learning are below:

  • “There is no perfect pickle, there are only perfect pickles.”
  • “The mind knows not what the tongue wants.”
  • “…the importance of horizontal segmentation”
  • “…mustard does not exist on a hierarchy”
  • cooking universals” and “the understanding of variabilities”

Discussion on proposed hydroelectric power scheme in pennsylvania.

Create a 16 pages page paper that discusses proposed hydroelectric power scheme in pennsylvania. When designing or developing a hydroelectric energy scheme, or even a power plant, there is a myriad of considerations and factors that exist, irrespective of whether the concerns are local or global. Such considerations and factors are addressed in this paper. these include technical, economic, costs, and environmental considerations, as well as the addition of generating capabilities of hydroelectric power. This paper focuses specifically on the Pennsylvania region.

Hydroelectric power or energy is generated from the energy released from waterfalls or dams. Simply put, waterfalls as a result of gravity. this results in kinetic energy which is converted into mechanical energy, which using turbines can, in turn, be converted into electrical energy that is usable. In ancient times, the Greeks generated energy by using wooden wheels to convert kinetic water energy into mechanical energy[1]. The first hydroelectric power generating plant was built in the United States of America in 1882, using fast flowing river water. In time, humans began developing dams and reservoirs to store water at locations considered convenient to utilize and exploit the power capacity and capability of water. Since then, hydroelectric power generation has overseen a myriad of transformations, both engineering and structural [2]. These resulted in a much more complicated hydroelectric energy power plant design process.

Hydroelectric energy generation plants vary based on size and location, and as such, are categorized on that basis. Particularly, they are classified based on size and fit into four different categories which include mini, small, micro, and large. For instance, a hydroelectric power generating plant that generates less than 100kW is considered as a Micro-sized plant. typically, such a capacity is enough to serve about1 to 2 houses. Then, there are the mini-sized power plants that have a power generating capacity of between 100kW and 1MW. this apparently can serve a small factory or an isolated community [2], [3].
