All sources of information (whether the textbook or a web site) are cited Length : A quality post is one that is somewhere between 150 and 200 words. What do you believe are two or three of the most important cultural, political, religious or economic inheritances which the West received from the Byzantine or Islamic civilizations? Why? a list of hints and some clarification to help guide you on this discussion. First, the question is asking you what inheritances the West received at the time, not today. Be sure to focus on the Middle Ages, particularly the Dark Ages, when addressing this question. Second, try to focus on just a few inheritances. If everyone posts the same few inheritances, then it's hard to have a discussion because we keep repeating ourselves. Finally, influences are difficult to prove at the best of times, so don't get too hung up on right or wrong answers. I'm looking for you to make connections based on the content of the Unit's chapters. .

albn10 2015-02-22 17:31 can you answer this question? In this discussion, we will investigate confidence intervals and t tests for continuous data. To do this, we will revisit the TAA data that you studied in the Week Three assignment. You may recall from the Week Three assignment that you have available data on 12 tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), from 90 normal individuals (controls) and 160 hepatocellular carcinoma patients (cases). These data are in the Excel file MHA610_Week 3_Assignment_Data.xls ; the levels of the 12 TAAs are given in the columns with headings Ab14, HCC1, IMP1, KOC, MDM2, NPM1, P16, P53, P90, RaIA, and Survivin. First, randomly select three of the 12 TAAs for further study. Next, Perform two sample t-tests for comparing the levels of each of your three TAAs between the cases and the controls. Then, Use the t-tests to order the TAAs in terms of relative ability to discriminate between the cases and controls, from best to worst discriminator. Is this ordering helpful if you want to select a subset of TAAs to discriminate between cases and controls? Assume for now that you can judge the relative merits of your three TAAs by the magnitudes of their respective two-sided p-values from the two sample t-tests, so that your best discriminator is the TAA with the smallest p-value. Lastly, Construct and report 95% confidence intervals for the mean level of your best TAA discriminator in the controls, the mean level of your best TAA discriminator in the cases, and the difference in mean levels (cases - controls). Discuss whether your confidence intervals are concordant with the t-tests. source group groupid Ab14 HCC1 IMP1 KOC MDM2 NPM1 P16 P53 P62 P90 SD control 0 0.102 0.068 0.083 0.023 0.117 0.12 0.102 0.098 0.177 0.097 SD control 0 0.02 0.06 0.035 0.016 0.005 0.004 0.017 0.014 0.049 0.011 SD control 0 0.064 0.13 0.111 0.058 0.092 0.046 0.258 0.057 0.28 0.05 SD control 0 0.068 0.041 0.056 0.019 0.077 0.05 0.067 0.055 0.104 0.049 SD control 0 0.036 0.07 0.067 0.04 0.026 0.019 0.057 0.027 0.107 0.019 SD control 0 0.049 0.188 0.079 0.063 0.073 0.018 0.107 0.053 0.128 0.027 SD control 0 0.053 0.231 0.214 0.105 0.05 0.009 0.277 0.061 0.253 0.06 SD control 0 0.071 0.045 0.133 0.19 0.086 0 0.098 0.055 0.161 0.058 SD control 0 0.066 0.139 0.105 0.065 0.095 0.041 0.193 0.075 0.188 0.037 SD control 0 0.071 0.077 0.095 0.039 0.132 0.058 0.22 0.077 0.108 0.064 SD control 0 0.033 0.091 0.064 0.059 0.012 0.01 0.039 0.034 0.087 0.025 SD control 0 0.053 0.024 0.06 0.026 0.147 0.102 0.114 0.064 0.108 0.05 SD control 0 0.045 0.014 0.05 0.02 0.045 0.144 0.051 0.039 0.049 0.029 SD control 0 0.153 0.08 0.071 0.034 0.021 0.118 0.063 0.041 0.071 0.029 SD control 0 0.033 0.023 0.047 0.019 0.048 0.219 0.056 0.043 0.071 0.039 SD control 0 0.111 0.047 0.104 0.049 0.103 0.064 0.285 0.09 0.185 0.452 SD control 0 0.082 0.023 0.071 0.258 0.091 0.129 0.116 0.055 0.165 0.11 SD control 0 0.115 0.01 0.383 0.162 0.113 0.229 0.298 0.075.

All of the indigenous cultures that we have explored this week were at one time “discovered” by European explorers who often connected traditional art objects to take back with them to Europe as “curiosities.” These objets d’art inspired collectors and artists alike and opened the Western world up to new ideas, new cultures, and new art forms. This is Part 1 of a two-part assignment and spans Weeks 3 and 4 . Imagine that you are one of these intrepid European explorers who has set out to discover and collect the traditional art forms created by the four cultures we have learned about this week: India China Korea Japan As you “travel” and collect two works from each of your four cultures, you need to document some important field notes that will help you to explain what these treasures are upon your return home. These field notes need to include for each work of art: Name of the culture that produced the object Title or name of the object Date of the object Medium/materials used to create the object Current location Assignment Instructions Using the textbook and Internet sources, locate 2 traditional works of art from India, China, Japan, and Korea. Copy and paste the 8 objects into your Microsoft Word document and label each one: Name of the culture that produced the object Title of the work Date of the work Medium/materials used to create the work Current location Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information you found in the textbook and on the Internet. Use your textbook to find out as much as you can about cultural context for each object. Go online and find some reference sources to provide you with more information. Thoroughly explain and analyze: What each object is How you think your European friends back home will react to each object, and why Why it is culturally important .

Albert and Baker form a corporation and start their business as the Lending Store, Inc. They begin making mortgage loans. They lease a large office building and eventually hire twenty employees. After several months it becomes obvious that one of their more experienced employees, Mary Smith, has some personal problems. Ms. Smith is 60 years old and has a permanent disability that requires her to work from a wheelchair. She is often late for work because of health issues and has some absences each month. She shows up ten minutes late for work one morning and Albert fires her on the spot without explanation. The company then promotes from within and allows John Jones to take Ms. Smith’s position. John Jones is 25 years old. He has no mortgage lending experience but is on time for work every day. 1. Mary Smith is unhappy about being fired. She is unable to find another comparable job so decides to sue the company to either get her job back or to recover past and future wages. Explain the possible legal claims that Ms. Smith could pursue against the company. 2. Albert and Baker come to you for advice again. Explain the best defenses the company would have against any legal claims made by Ms. Smith. Include in your explanation what you believe would be the most likely outcome of this lawsuit known as Smith v. Lending Store, Inc. 3.

Some of them are considering joining the White Collar Workers of America Union to protect themselves from a similar fate. Explain the steps these employees would have to take in order to allow a union to represent them in their relationship with the Lending Store, Inc. 4. Albert and Baker do not prefer to deal with a union and are most concerned that their employees would go on strike and financially damage the company. While a strike may be possible with any union, explain to Albert and Baker some of the circumstances under which the union could not legally go on strike against the company. 5.

The Man Who Would Be King Pages 25-37 by Rudyard Kipling “I can’t tell all we did for the next six months because Dravot did a lot I couldn’t see the hang of, and he learned their lingo in a way I never could. My work was to help the people plough, and now and again to go out with some of the Army and see what the other villages were doing, and make ’em throw rope-bridges across the ravines which cut up the country horrid. Dravot was very kind to me, but when he walked up and down in the pine wood pulling that bloody red beard of his with both fists I knew he was thinking plans I could not advise him about, and I just waited for orders. “But Dravot never showed me disrespect before the people. They were afraid of me and the Army, but they loved Dan. He was the best of friends with the priests and the Chiefs; but any one could come across the hills with a complaint and Dravot would hear him out fair, and call four priests together and say what was to be done. He used to call in Billy Fish from Bashkai, and Pikky Kergan from Shu, and an old Chief we called Kafuzelum—it was like enough to his real name—and hold councils with ’em when there was any fighting to be done in small villages. That was his Council of War, and the four priests of Bashkai, Shu, Khawak, and Madora was his Privy Council. Between the lot of ’em they sent me, with forty men and twenty rifles, and sixty men carrying turquoises, into the Ghorband country to buy those hand-made Martini rifles, that come out of the Amir’s workshops at Kabul, from one of the Amir’s Herati regiments that would have sold the very teeth out of their mouths for turquoises. “I stayed in Ghorband a month, and gave the Governor the pick of my baskets for hush-money, and bribed the colonel of the regiment some more, and, between the two and the tribes-people, we got more than a hundred hand-made Martinis, a hundred good Kohat Jezails that’ll throw to six hundred yards, and forty manloads of very bad ammunition for the rifles. I came back with what I had, and distributed ’em among the men that the Chiefs sent in to me to drill. Dravot was too busy to attend to those things, but the old Army that we first made helped me, and we turned out five hundred men that could drill, and two hundred that knew how to hold arms pretty straight. Even those cork-screwed, hand-made guns was a miracle to them. Dravot talked big about powder-shops and factories, walking up and down in the pine wood when the winter was coming on. “‘I won’t make a Nation,’ says he. ‘I’ll make an Empire! These men aren’t niggers; they’re English! Look at their eyes— look at their mouths. Look at the way they stand up. They sit on chairs in their own houses. They’re the Lost Tribes, or something like it, and they’ve grown to be English. I’ll tak.
