As technology continues to evolve, it plays an increasingly important role in the way companies approach the talent search and the hiring process (Business News). Social media is now being used by a wide variety of job seekers as well as employers. Job seekers can search all the information they want about a company as well as follow them on these social media sites so they can find out when there is a job opportunity with them. Some people even go as far as reaching out to those companies and certain employees who work them and communicate through their social media profiles. Social media works for both sides of the staffing process. Social media has shown that it can open the doors for recruiters to be able to discover more talent out there and for them to reach out those people. Social media can significantly expand the universe of applicants and shed valuable light on job candidates—when a disciplined approach is used (SHRM). Today’s age – generation y and soon to be generation z – are so used to having their social media sites be a part of their everyday life. Most people from those generations actually use their social media profiles as their professional portfolios to show potential employers what they can do and what they can bring to the organization. Using social media as part of the staffing process is also great for reaching candidates not in the immediate area. If someone can find a job through social media and video interviews, they will more than likely be quicker to make the move versus moving there and trying to find a job once you get to a new place. Some problems and legal implications can be discrimination. By searching the social media pages, you are seeing what they race or ethnicity is. It might be a better idea for companies to run a social media search after already meeting candidates and conducting face-to-face interview. Another problem can be that using social media to find potential employees can be very time consuming. It will take longer to go through candidate’s profiles than it would through their resumes.

As per our discussion, I assumed a place in Louisville, Louisville water front Park that would be the best location to do my task. I walked through the river side I enjoyed watching boats and river and people. I could see a pair, both are exactly suitable for given task. It was weekend so park is very busy with people, I moved to pool area and playground sites. Watching people in refreshment places is foolish thing. people enjoying peaceful atmosphere and keep moving in park, there many things to for people to talk about beautiful river park, some of them busy with phones and electronic gadgets. In that specific instance a young pair, about 30 aged attracted my consideration as they look enjoying with love. Young men wear a grey color shirt and young women wear a beautiful flower printed scuba dress. That moment they both have phones in their hands and talking with each other, it looks they both are appreciated with fantastic expressions that represent how much they both love each other. Meanwhile they started preparation for having food the young men were very interested in organizing food arrangements. The couple enjoy their meal both offered food each other with lovely expressions, both were enjoy the moment they live together and they enjoy nature and they discussing about river and park, that I observe with their postures. I observe their non-verbal communication and relationship, sometimes they look at each other with love these all shows their strong relationship. .

As the health care reform debate moves forward, there has been a lot of discussion about stakeholders and potential winners and losers. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation containing 10-15 slides in which you: Select a stakeholder from among the stakeholder groups described in class (Physician) Describe the stakeholder’s position on health care reform. Provide rationale. Explain why the stakeholder has taken this position. solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented 3. some information in regards to Physician discussed in class I am concerned with a number of issues that affect my ability to deliver the health care I want to deliver to my patients. With the rise in managed care, I cannot refer my patient to a specialist or prescribe certain medications without first obtaining approval from an insurance company. In addition, my reimbursement for services rendered is being reduced, but my operating expenses are increasing. For example, malpractice insurance premiums are out of control. Many of my colleagues in highrisk specialties such as obstetrics and neurosurgery have closed their practices. This impacts the community because there are then not enough specialists to meet demand for services. I am also concerned with the movement toward physician rating based on reported patient outcomes data. Rating systems have flaws. The results may be skewed because of small patient populations or a lack of consideration of each patient’s severity of illness (i.e., risk adjusted). Finally, there is the push for using electronic health records. Many think that EHRs are the silver bullet for improving our health care system, but I am not convinced. Some studies have shown that EHRs do not reduce costs or improve care. The bottom line is that our current health care system does not work for everyone and changes are neede .

As a way of experiencing the Humanities beyond your classroom, computer, and textbook, you are asked to do a certain type of “cultural activity” that fits well with our course and then report on your experience. Your instructor will require you to propose an activity and get instructor approval before you do it and report on it (students should look for any instructions in that respect). Every effort should be made to ensure that this is a hands-on experience (not a virtual one), that this activity fits the HUM 111 class well, and that the activity is of sufficient quality for this university course. The two (2) key types of activities are a museum visit or a performance. Note: This must not be a report on the same activity (and certainly not the same report) as done for another class, like HUM 112. For instance, one might go to the same museum as done for HUM 112, but this HUM 111 report will focus on entirely different works and displays. Visit a museum or gallery exhibition or attend a theater or musical performance before the end of Week 10. The activity (museum or performance) should have content that fits our course well. Have fun doing this. Write a two to three (2-3) page report (500-750 words) that describes your experience. · Clearly identify the event location, date attended, the attendees, and your initial reaction upon arriving at the event. Provide specific information and a description of at least two (2) pieces (e.g., art, exhibits, music, etc.). Provide a summary of the event and describe your overall reaction after attending the event. Use at least the class text as a reference (additional sources are fine, not necessary unless required by your content). Your report should include connections you make between things observed in your activity and things learned in the course and text. Visiting a Museum It makes sense to approach a museum the way a seasoned traveler approaches visiting a city for the first time. Find out what there is available to see. In the museum, find out what sort of exhibitions are currently housed in the museum and start with the exhibits that interest you. If there is a travelling exhibition, it’s always a good idea to see it while you have the chance. Then, if you have time, you can look at other things in the museum. Every effort should be made ahead of time to identify a museum that has items and works one can easily connect to our HUM 111 class and book. Since HUM 111 covers from ancient times to the 1500s AD, it makes more sense to focus on items from that time frame. In general, museums with artistic cultural artifacts and fine arts work better than history museums. Any questions about whether a museum-visit activity fits the course and assignment well enough will be decided by the instructor when the student seeks approval for the activity. Any alternative activity outside the normal ones listed here, such as for those limited by disability or distance, will be determined by the instr.

As a young girl Jane was repeatedly beaten by her father for being naughty. She didn’t understand why because he never bothered to explain it to her. But she knew that her father was so big and she depended on him for everything so he must be right. She learned to try very hard to always get things right and to please her father. She learned two specific lessons: · to associate love with fear · no matter how hard you try, you will fail. All through Jane’s life, an aunt has developed a special relationship with her. This aunt showed the opposite kind of love, accepting, supporting and nonjudgmental. She saw the positive sides to Jane’s qualities and admired her for them. Jane was fond of her aunt but the relationship was not very regular because of distance. She was not a significant influence in Jane’s early life. As Jane grew older she learned that her father might actually be wrong. She also realized that her father was scared of being wrong. This gave her a sense of power over him, a redress of the unfair balance of power she experienced as a young girl. As she reaches adulthood she learns that she can use guilt and fear to make her father give her what she wants. He can’t hit her any more but he can now use money to keep her love. Jane then meets a man and marries. After the first three years her husband hits her for challenging him. He feels guilty and begs forgiveness. Jane forgives him and he takes her out to buy some new clothes. She can choose whatever she likes. They agree to have a child and she falls pregnant. After reading through the case study of Jane, answer the following questions in a 1-2 page paper: Examine the situation presented in the case study by using the four goals of psychology. Choose three of the modern perspectives of psychology and address how each would study the behaviors found in the case study. .

Artwork Review Answer all three of the following questions per work of art shown below. You should reference your book to aid you in answering these questions. Answers should be in essay format, be a minimum of three-five sentences each, and include at least three terms from the glossary for each work. The following are glossary terms for the week to be used with your work this week. You do not need to utilize them all; however, you need to utilize at least three of these terms per assignment response. Please note that some terms are carried over from previous weeks as they apply. Still, you should review all terms each week. Abstract Expressionism Also known as the New York School. The first major American avant-garde movement, Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York City in the 1940s. The artists produced abstract paintings that expressed their state of mind and that they hoped would strike emotional chords in viewers. The movement developed along two lines: gestural abstraction and chromatic abstraction. Action painting Also called gestural abstraction. The kind of Abstract Expressionism practiced by Jackson Pollock, in which the emphasis was on the creation process, the artist's gesture in making art. Pollock poured liquid paint in linear webs on his canvases, which he laid out on the floor, thereby physically surrounding himself in the painting during its creation. Assemblage An artwork constructed from already existing objects. Chromatic abstraction A kind of Abstract Expressionism that focused on the emotional resonance of color, as exemplified by the work of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. Color field painting A variant of Post-Painterly Abstraction in which artists sought to reduce painting to its physical essence by pouring diluted paint onto unprimed canvas, allowing these pigments to soak into the fabric, as exemplified by the work of Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis. Conceptual art An American avant-garde art movement of the 1960s that asserted that the "artfulness" of art lay in the artist's idea rather than its final expression. Deconstruction An analytical strategy developed in the late 20th century according to which all cultural "constructs" (art, architecture, and literature) are "texts." People can read these texts in a variety of ways, but they cannot arrive at fixed or uniform meanings. Any interpretation can be valid, and readings differ from time to time, place to place, and person to person. For those employing this approach, deconstruction means destabilizing established meanings and interpretations while encouraging subjectivity and individual differences. Earthworks An American art form that emerged in the 1960s. Often using the land itself as their material, Environmental artists construct monuments of great scale and minimal form. Permanent or impermanent, these works transform some section of the environment, calling attention both to the land itself and to the hand of the artist. Sometimes referred.

Artists such as Lalo Guerrero, Los Lobos and Carlos Santana, to name a few, all began their music careers playing Mexican rhythms/music and eventually incorporated into some of their more mainstream music such as rock and roll. In the case of singer Linda Ronstadt, she started off as a pop/rock singer and experimented with many musical genres such as country, big band and popular opera. However, she eventually transitioned into her Mexican musical roots and recorded various Mexican song genres, that people commonly label "mariachi music." Although, they are all part of the American mainstream, why do you believe that often Chicano musicians, often go back to their traditonal Mexican musical heritage as a source of inspiration? Please be specific in your support going back to the videos related to music and in your notes. videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOaHLJDEfzo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMy8GzeHBGk one page answer and that's it Please see the deadline. .

Article The following excerpt is from a short piece by L. Randall, professor of physics at Harvard University, that appeared in "The Educational Experiences that Change a Life." (The New York Times Magazine, September 14, 2011) A professor who later became my adviser gave me the best advice I ever received, which was to not be afraid to speak up and ask questions. Suddenly teachers were speaking directly to me, and my questions were usually good enough that I could detect the relief of other students who actually had the same ones, reassuring me I was doing the right thing. Now, as a professor, I know not to see classes as passive experiences. Question Do you think the adviser gave the author "the best advice"? Why or why not? What does the author mean by knowing "not to see classes as passive experiences"? Do you agree? Why or why not? How does your experience as a student relate to the author's experience? Use examples from your own experience to support your answers. .
