Charles Garnier’s motto to describe his design for the Paris Opera (aka Palais Garnier) was “Bramo assai, poro spero” (Desire for much, hope for little). Legend has it that he also described ornamentation on a building as akin to a lady’s rouge and lipstick (Trachtenberg and Hyman, Architecture from Prehistory to Postmodernity, Second Edition, p. 430). The Second Empire Beaux-Arts style he employed on the Opera is highly ornamental, inside and out.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s motto, on the other hand, was famously “Less is more,” as evidenced in his high Modern Barcelona Pavilion. He is also the architect responsible for later glass-curtain wall skyscrapers, such as his Seagram Building in NYC, 1954-58, page 231 in our textbook, fig. 14.23.
Answer these questions under Module 4 Discussion Forum.
Which motto/design approach do you agree with?
Do you like a highly ornamented building or a simple, clear structure true to its form and materials?
Does it depend on the type of building it is or the time period in which it was built?
Give an example to support your opinion – this can be a building or structure that you are familiar with in your own city or a building you find on the internet.
Give the name and location of the building and include an image in your post.
Florida has one of the weakest texting while driving laws in the country. It is a secondary law which limits the enforcement of the policy. Lawmakers have tried for the past several years to change the law into a primary law, but have failed to pass the legislation. Read the article “Texting crackdown appears dead–again.”
However, Florida’s seat belt law is a primary law.
Research the differences in the effectiveness of primary and secondary seat belt as well as texting while driving laws on the prevention of motor-vehicle injuries and fatalities. Explain how epidemiologic studies influenced the development of current seat belt and texting while driving laws. Describe how effective primary seat belt laws have been successful in reducing injuries and fatalities. What is the difference in the effectiveness of primary and secondary seat belt laws? Should Florida update its current texting while driving laws? Use data to support the answers to each of the questions. Cite your sources within the body of your paper and include a reference page using APA format.
Instructions:
The assignment must fully answer all questions using data to support your ideas.
Cite your sources within the body of your paper.
The paper should be a minimum of two full pages long not counting your reference page.
In 1000-1250 words discuss the following three questions citing at least 5 sources, with 3 being academic sources:
(a) Why is there a geographic maldistribution of the physician labor force in the United States? (b) Why is there an imbalance between primary care and specialty care in the United States? and (c) What measures have been or can be employed to overcome problems related to physician maldistribution and imbalance?

The privacy and security provisions of HIPAA are complex. HIPAA allows states to establish stricter standards than those in HIPAA, but not less strict versions.
For this assignment, research two real-life examples of HIPAA violations of privacy or security laws that occurred in the U.S. since the passage of the HIPAA law (after 1996). Each violation described should be serious, and one that resulted in a fine or penalty for the individual or company involved.
You can find real-life examples of HIPAA violations in news reports, medical journals, professional health care publications, and other similar reliable factual sources
For each example violation, include the following information:
1. A complete, descriptive summary of the case:
How did the HIPAA violation occur?
What policies, if any, did the organization have in place to protect against the violation?
What was the penalty for the violation (fine, prison terms, termination of employment, etc?)
2. Finally, describe three ways in which the organization could have prevented the violations.
Requirements:
Submit your essay in a Word document. This assignment must be at least 500 words, with at least four references cited properly in APA format.
