Student 1 Student ENG 1100 8 March 2015 The King of Equality Comment by Katie: Thoughtful title! On August 28, 1936 Martin Luther King Jr. gave one of the best known speeches in American history. When people commemorate the “I Have a Dream” speech, as it has come to be identified, they recall King’s powerful message about civil rights and the true meaning of freedom in America. In the famous “I Have a Dream” speech, Martin Luther King Jr. uses a number of rhetorical devices in order to match his word choice to the strength of his message. Numerous examples of allusion, parallelism, and anaphora are used as tactics to amplify the intensity of his message. Comment by Katie: Great thesis—it makes a clear claim and provides a forecast of your paper’s outline. King begins his speech with a reference to the Gettysburg address, “Five score years ago…” (King par. 2).The opening allusion is exceptionally moving given that King spoke in front of the Lincoln Memorial. King uses examples of allusions, or references to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. Allusions can be direct or indirect, and are often used to broaden the reader’s understanding. The Gettysburg Address is not the only historical piece referenced in King’s speech; the Declaration of Independence is also referenced in paragraph four of the “I Have a Dream” speech. The speech reads, “This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the ‘unalienable Rights’ of ‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness’" (King par. 4). Martin Luther King Jr. addresses the Declaration of Independence in order to get his supporters to recognize the equal rights that they deserve as Americans. In order to provide an honorable basis, King uses numerous biblical allusions. Two examples of biblical allusions used in the speech include Psalms 30:5 and Jeremiah 2:13. King cries ‘It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.” (King par. 2) referring to Psalms 30:5, “For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning” (Dlugan, Andrew). Martin Luther King Jr. is expressing that the struggle for the black community was long and hard but the freedom they will receive will last a lifetime. Jeremiah 2:13 was also a biblical verse King evokes in his speech proclaiming, “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred,” (King par. 8) referring to Jeremiah 2:13, “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water” (Dlugan, Andrew). King is using this biblical verse to explain to his people that they must fight peacefully, without violence and hatred, and if they do they will be rewarded for their peaceful behavior. Comment by Katie: It may be a good .

Structure! Thesis: British politics were changed in such a fashion because the changes caused something. If these changes had not occurred, it is possible that x could have happened! Before the 19th century Reform Acts, British politics possessed a conservative, statesmanlike, and stable character. The Reform Acts introduced modern republicanism without significant disruption because the working class British that became incorporated respected British hierarchical society and the parliamentary system. Furthermore, many of the substantial social changes from the 19th-20th centuries occurred because of substantial economic changes, not political reform. If the franchise had not been enlarged to eventually encompass the working class, it is quite possible that radical political movements, such as the Charterists, would have gained a political hold.!! Bagehot and Government! Bagehot writes from within the period studied! Bagehot takes an aristocratic view of government! Ruling takes education, experience, and sobriety--this is what he calls “statesmanship”! Statesmanship! The job of the political elites is to provide sober judgment on issues! His condemnation of American politics largely rests on the inability of the Americans to reach sober conclusions on politically necessary issues! Because the President and Congress are in constant competition, there can be no statesmanship (37)! The introduction of the working class endangers this statesmanship! Bagehot writes, “I am exceedingly afraid of the ignorant multitude of the new constituencies.” (p. 17)! The introduction of the working class would require specific actions on the parts of the statesmen, and provide a real danger! However, while Bagehot is anxious about reform, he does not dismiss it out of hand -- it is a challenge but could provide reasonable results of the Parliament is followed! Was he right or wrong? Were his concerns justified?! Bagehot’s concerns are legitimate. The course of other countries’ attempts to reform would demonstrate that. However, organized, radical labor movements did not form in Britain! 1832 Reform Act! On its face, the 1832 Reform Act was substantial! It brought 10-pound householders into the vote! Functionally, this extended the franchise! In practice, Bagehot, argues, it was not so extreme! In the first place, constitutional changes take time to be discovered, as generational changes matter (7)! Most of the pre-1832 elites, such as Lord Pemberton, remained in power until the mid-1860s (7)! Secondly, England is a “deferential society,” argues Bagehot.! The newly-incorporated members did not participate directly in politics -- they remained shopkeepers (8)! “If a hundred small shopkeepers had by miracle been added to any of the ‘32 Parliaments, they would have felt outcasts there.” (8)! Parliament remained the space of the elite! The newly-incorporated did not vote to push their personal interest in politics at the national level! They voted .

Student #1 I have chosen to write about the history of data analysis for the Los Angeles Police Department. While I currently reside in Colorado Springs, Colorado and work as a deputy sheriff in Denver, Colorado I grew up in the greater Los Angeles area and I know that they should have a large amount of data to draw from. Currently the Los Angeles Police Department uses COMPSTAT to compile their data. They have a unit, known as the COMPSTAT unit, whose sole job is to compile crime statistics and analyze the data (Los Angeles Police Department, 2016) COMPSTAT is short for computer statistics. COMPSTAT was developed by Police Commissioner William Bratton in 1994 for use by the New York Police Department. According to the University of Maryland by the year 2000 over a third of police agencies with over 100 officers were utilizing some sort of COMPSTAT like program (University of Maryland, 2015). In 2002 William Bratton became the Chief of Police for the Los Angeles Police Department and brought with him the concept of COMPSTAT. During the first six years of his tenure Los Angeles saw a steady decrease in the cities crime rates thanks largely in part to COMPSTAT policing. Mean, mode and median play a large part in analyzing criminal data. The mean is the average number. An example of this for crime data analysis would be in neighborhood C there was 14 robberies committed on Monday between 1 and 3 AM, 17 robberies on Tuesday at the same time period and 9 on Wednesday during the same time period. The mean would be 13.3 robberies per night for those 3 nights. Knowing this is high for the city the data could be used to justify extra police presence in Neighborhood C. An example of the mode would be if in the same neighborhood in the same week there were 17 robberies on both Friday and Saturday, 12 on Thursday and 11 on Sunday. The mode would be 17 and it would also be a reason to add extra police presence in the neighborhood until a significant decrease was seen in the amount of robberies taking place. Finally we come to the median. This is simply line the numbers up for the week and take the number that falls in the middle. In the case of the robberies occurring in neighborhood C the number would be 14. All of this data can be combined to show watch commanders and captain’s areas where they should be focusing their officer’s time. If there is a neighborhood that has seen only one or two robberies during the week, it is definitely not in as much need of a heavy police presence as Neighborhood C is. Student #2 Beginning in the mid-1990’s, police in New York began to run statistical analysis of the city’s crime reports, arrests and other police activity known as COMPSTAT. Law enforcement agencies since this analysis began, has implemented their own data-driven approaches to tracking and adapting to crime trends. The LAPD is both heavily armed and thoroughly computerized. The Real-Time Analysis and Critical Response Division is its central processor..

Student answer (a) In US business unionism focuses on benefits to existing members, (opposed to other countries like Britain) employers’ organizations are not prominent at any level, however, employer’ organizations that seek to maintain unions away from employees have been prominent. (b) Diversity creates a wider range of variation employment practices, (to mention one factor) but Britain lacks such factor, in addition, the government does not support employment regulation as it happens in US. (i) New modernized methods of union organizing have been implemented such as intensive direct communication with prospective members through young well-educated organizers. (ii) In the US diversity has been a strong factor leading to wider employment arrangements. (c) (i) (i) according to Olson the likelihood of cross-national cooperation confronts different barriers such as, divergent interests, national differences in language, culture, law and union structure. However the potential exists. Student answer US employers are amongst the most anti union employers in the world because unions tend to hurt productivity and reduce profit margin. Business Unionism uses the principle that unions should operate like a business. It has been attractive to the US employees because business union jobs pay better wages than non-union equivalents. It is operated by employers and employees, therefore the interest of all parties is advocated. To expand union membership, the US confederation, the AFL-CIO tried to modernise and broaden issues that attract union members such as child care and equal pay. They have also used young well-educated organisers and involve extensive direct communication with prospective members and links to community groups such as churches. The union density plummeted in the US because of the split of the major unions forming a coalition called the CTW - change to win coalition. In the UK the fall was due to state labour policies, management resistance and workplace practices, changing composition employment and the labour force and issues internal to unionism. Non union personnel practices have developed the furthest in the US. Cross-national cooperation is possible through trade and treaty agreements. The major difference between liberal and coordinated is the ability to obtain capital without having to plead with a bank. The liberal has the access to capital via public markets such as stocks and bonds while this is not so with the coordinated. Olson will say that cross-national cooperation will break barriers and economic incentives such as increased trade will be gained. Student answer (a) The U.S. operates on "Employment at will" where employers do not have to provide just cause for dismissal, reasonable notice or severance pay on dismissal of an employee. The U.S. business unionism, focuses narrowly on providing benefits to existing members. (b) The AFL-CIO tried to modernize and broaden issues that attract union members, (.

This database is expected to provide the back-end architecture for a front-end web application with an intuitive User/Interface (U/I) to be used by the university HR department. We’ve decided to use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 given the nature of data to be stored because it will be more secure, and it also provides a suite of server maintenance tools to be left behind with the IT Department once the database and web application have been tested and accepted by university stakeholders. During our preliminary meetings, CTU’s requirements were defined and adequately scoped to begin creation of the database. The following sections contain the business rules and entity tables developed during the preliminary meetings, as well as copies of all the SQL code used to build the database and create the Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). Business Rules & Entity Tables Business Rules: · A student has a name, a birth date, and gender. · You must track the date the student started at the university and his or her current GPA, as well as be able to inactivate him or her without deleting information. · For advising purposes, store the student's background/bio information. This is like a little story. · An advisor has a name and an e-mail address. · Students are assigned to one advisor, but one advisor may service multiple students. · A class has a class code, name, and description. · You need to indicate the specific classes a student is taking/has taken at the university. Track the date the student started a specific class and the grade earned in that class. · Each class that a student takes has 4 assignments.

STRIKING A BALANCE BETWEEN PUBLIC INTEREST OF TRANSPARENCY OF GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVACY OF PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION AND SECURITY INFORMATION: AN EXAMINATION OF TRIBUNE-REVIEW PUBLISHING CO. V BODACK I. INTRODUCTION Pennsyivanians generally want the government to work properly and to be free from corruption. They also generally want to know how tax dollars are spent and how efficiently the government works. The Right-to-Know Law provides access to state government public records to any individual or entity that properly requests them. ' The purpose of this law is to give a level of transparency to the inner workings of the state government.^ However, this right to access public records could lead to the inadvertent disclosure of important personal identification and security information of innocent, private citizens. Under the Right-to-Know Act, the state court system took responsibility for determining not only what fits into the definition of a "public record," but also whether the public interest in the information outweighs the possible " 'impairment of a person's reputation or personal security' " by the disclosure of that information.^ Because, historically, Pennsylvania courts have broadly interpreted the public record definition, individuals are at a ' Right-to-Know Law, 65 PA. STAT. ANN. §§ 67.101- .1102 (West Supp. 2009). The Right-to-Know Law completely overhauled public records access in Pennsylvania, effective January 1, 2009. Id. §67.101. However, this act only applies to requests for public records after December 31, 2008. Id. § 67.3101. So any case pending with a request for information prior to December 31, 2008, should be decided under the former Right-to-Know Act. The implications of the revised Right-to-Know Law are discussed in the evaluation section. See infra pt. IV. ' Pa. State Univ. v. State Employees' Ret. Bd. {Penn State), 935 A.2d 530, 533 (Pa. 2007) (citing Sapp Roofmg Co. v. Sheet Metal Workers' Int'l Ass'n, Local Union No. 12, 713 A.2d 627, 629 (Pa. 1998)). ^ Id. at 538 (quoting § 66.1(2), repealed by Right-to-Know Law, 65 PA. STAT.

Strategy Project/.DS_Store __MACOSX/Strategy Project/._.DS_Store Strategy Project/EXAMPLECompleted Strategy Team Project.docx Issue: Given the success of being one of the world’s largest global payments technology companies, MasterCard has an opportunity to enter into the country of North Korea to expand its technology basis and help build the North Korean economy. Recommendation: MasterCard should research and investigate the costs and benefits of expanding itself into North Korea. Justification: In its current state, MasterCard is the second largest global payments technology organization and could use this strength to enter into North Korea to help build their economy not only by introducing its products and services into the country, but to help a weak economy become stronger with the proper use of a global payment technology. Issue: Attempting to expand into other third world countries increases the security threat. The security at MasterCard needs an update to prevent their customers from becoming targets of credit card breaches and fraud. Recommendation: MasterCard should design a new digital debit/credit card that uses a thumbprint to authorize the use of the card. Justification: Fingerprints are a unique feature that can provide great security assurance when dealing with theft. The fact that no two fingerprints are identical will make it hard for fraud to take place. Task 1: A Research and Development (R & D) team will be established for a 12 month period beginning May 2014 and continuing through May 2015 to determine what areas within North Korea would be in the best interest for MasterCard to locate. The team would consist of accountants, lawyers, management, and several other individuals who would work solely on this project for the year. The estimated cost for this project could reach up to $2 million. The current budget is listed at $2.5 million. All correspondence and findings will be reported to the current CEO, CFO, and COO as well as the Board of Directors. Throughout the year, the R & D team will spend ample time traveling and speaking with the delegates of North Korea to get a good feel of the acceptance of a large corporation entering into their country. Travel expenses during the complete project are estimated to be a total of $150,000 of the expected budget. The initial expense per visit to North Korea is a $1000 required tour that does not include any other amenities such as airfare, hotel, or food. The estimated complete “tour” expense for the year is $5,000. The flight expense during the year for the R & D team estimates the cost of $18,150 during the year. It is estimated that each ticket would cost $726 and no more than 5 team members would travel at a time, with an estimated 5 trips per year. A budget of $25,000 has been allotted for flight expenses alone due to the current trips per year estimation. As the end of the research gets closer, there may need to be an additional trip or two that need.

Strayer University : 2.13 (Discussion #1) Yahoo! CEO Bans Telecommuting https://strayer.mindedgeonline.com/content.php?cid=40776[10/11/2013 9:15:57 AM] Business Ethics (BUS 309)→Week 2: Normative Theories of Ethics→2.13 (Discussion #1) Yahoo! CEO Bans Telecommuting Business Ethics (BUS 309) (Discussion #1) Yahoo! CEO Bans Telecommuting After reading the case study, answer the questions below. In 2013, the chief executive officer at Yahoo!, Marissa Mayer, announced a policy banning employees from telecommuting. Since assuming her role as CEO less than a year before, Mayer had sought to increase Yahoo!'s productivity and revitalize the company's image. Mayer's decision to ban telecommuting and demand that employees show up to their desks was seen as part of her effort to revive Yahoo! Some employees were said to be abusing the telecommuting option by not being productive when working from home, and some had even begun running start- ups on the side while still on Yahoo!'s payroll. In general, there was a sense that telecommuting employees generally did less then employees working in the office. This has become a common worry for many employers as telecommuting has grown more popular. In the memo circulated to Yahoo! employees announcing the company's new policy, the company cited other reasons for the restriction. The memo read: To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important, so we need to be working side-by-side. That is why it is critical that we are all present in our offices. Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people, and impromptu team meetings. Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home. We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together. - Jackie Reses, Yahoo head of HR. Those involved in the decision to ban telecommuting chose to highlight the need for in-person collaboration to spark creativity and productivity. They stressed that in order for Yahoo! to be a cohesive company, employees should physically share a space and see each other on a daily basis. Yahoo!'s decision to ban telecommuting bucked industry trends. Telecommuting has become increasingly popular in recent years. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 5.82 million Americans worked from home as of 2010, constituting nearly 4.35 percent of the overall workforce. Many companies cite telecommuting as a reflection of a more family-friendly work environment. Critics argued that Mayer's ban on telecommuting was misguided. They noted that when employees are not working efficiently, it's likely a problem with management and not with the location of the employees.

Strengths & Characteristics A shamans role in the health of their communities is very important. Their job is to know the plants/herbs that they live around, their medicinal use, how to diagnose a member of the community, and how to treat them.They also are the ones who are able connect on another level with the rainforest and their ancestors. Shaman's should be very knowledgeable and wise of their surrounding environment. This includes knowing the medicinal uses of each plant. Also knowing that one plant can have many uses and symptoms. Like Plotkin describes in his book, once you find out one use for a plant it can lead and open to more uses as well as classify plants under groups. A shaman should know of any side effects plants have and how to continue with the treatment for their community member. For example, ayahuasca, is a brew from the Amazon rainforest Plotkin wrote about. It is usually used for spiritual awakenings for a community member to connect with the spirit world and find their purpose in life/or how to become the best person they can be in this world. Today, they also offer it to tourists who are willing to take this brew. But if you are not use to taking this brew it can really cause scary hallucinations that the average human is not use to. The shamans are also here as a guide to walk you through this spiritual awakening and make sure you are calm and okay. My father was born in the jungle region of Ecuador, South America and worked as a tour guide all around the country. As I was reading Plotkin's book he told me that when he was a teenager that he actually took ayahuasca and described it as a crazy trip. And that the Shaman he was with helped him get through it. It was then when my father realized shamans develop a kind of tolerance to these plants that they are able to really get the most out of their use and connect with their spiritual world. It is definitely not an easy job. It is said that one reason the Shamans reach out to their ancestors is to help them cure or treat their community members. As well as give them reasons as to why they became ill in the first place. They hold the key to the spiritual world that Indians in the rainforest rely so much on. Their vegetation, living, and health all rely on traditions that ancestors began. And the Shamans are the ones who can remind their culture (by connecting with their spirits) how traditions like healing work. I have a strong belief that there is an important role for shamans in the contemporary world. Their knowledge and experiences they have can be so useful for our own knowledge in finding new medicines and ways to treat the human body. It allows us, humans, to have options in how we want to look/take/ treat ourselves with medicines. It also allows for two different cultures to diagnose a human body. You can get an objective viewpoint (from doctors) as well as a more social view point (from the shamans). 1. Macro economic factors and Industry Analysis a. D.
