analyze certain bodily substances and compare them widi a sample from a suspect.
Forensic science consultant Richard Saferstein tells us that portions of the DNA structure are as unique to each individual as fingerprints. He writes that inside each of the 60 trillion cells in the human body are strands of genetic material called chromosomes. Arranged along the chromosomes, like beads on a thread, are nearly 100,000 genes. Genes are the fundamental unit of heredity. They instruct the body cells to make proteins drat determine everydiing from hair color to susceptibility to diseases. Each gene is actually composed of DNA specifically designed to carry out a single body function. Scientists have determined that DNA is die substance by which genetic instructions are passed from one generation to the next. (Saferstein 353-394)
DNA profiling has helped investigators solve crimes and ensure that diose guilty of crimes are convicted in court. Profiling is the examination of DNA samples from a body substance or fluid to determine whether they came from a particular subject. For example, semen on a rape victim's clothing can be positively or negatively compared with a suspect's semen.

Gender Inequality in the Workplace: Sexual Harassment against Women
Although many women have been confident enough to report sexual harassment in the workplace, it is still very hard and uncomfortable for other women to stand up and also makes it more surprising how many of these incidences are still taking place every day. Workplace sexual harassment goes for both genders and it’s even harder for men since they are always viewed as the aggressors and superior gender and the mindset of our society shapes a lot of what we perceive is okay and normal behavior towards each other.
One interesting experience I heard of recently was involving a female service member and her superiors. This female works in an office with about four other males who are very aware about her feelings towards the behavior of her superior who happens to work outside of that specific office. The superior officer comes in everyday to check up on their work, make small talk with the guys and also has a habit of always rubbing her shoulders when he walks over to her desk. She explains that the first time it happened she thought it was odd being that she doesn’t have that type of relationship with him and gave him a pass, but then it became a an everyday thing. She tried tactics such as getting up from her desk, walking away from him and even voiced to the other males how uncomfortable it made her; they thought it was funny. They too had a complaint about him on making them feel uncomfortable: he had a habit of grabbing and scratching his private parts; but accepted it as a guy thing and would be viewed in a negative way if they reported. Her reason for not reporting was because she was afraid to get him in trouble, he had a family and wouldn’t dare to jeopardize his career, or even worse be criticized for making a big deal out of nothing after all its just a shoulder rub.
Required Elements:
· Describe the situation in detail; already mentioned above;
· Analyze the differences in communication, problem-solving, and leadership between the men and the women in the situation;
· Did any stereotypical notions seem to influence the behaviors of the women and the men involved in the situation? If so, explain what were they? If not, indicate so.
· Identify challenges related to gender in the situation described.
· Identify best practices that address the challenges identified.
· Devise three to five action plans that could be implemented to strengthen the behaviors of men and women in the workplace. Action plans can be implements by HR, a management or manager, CEO, or employee. Make sure to provide ideas as to why the action plan is necessary or would be useful in the workplace.

“When you’re a Spy, your job title can be anything, from Manager to Waiter, even criminal. The reason for the multitude of names? As a Spy, your job is to gather information from a range of sources, and you need to do it in any way you can. That includes putting on a disguise.
There are a few different paths that you can take to get into this career, and you can focus on a range of specialties, from technical to languages. The title “Spy” isn’t really used anymore. Instead, you’re now called a Covert Investigator or, more broadly, a CIA Agent. Whatever the title, it means you investigate and protect US interests abroad.
You investigate things like terrorism, fraud, corrupt governments, and a wide variety of other crimes. Your job is to keep Policymakers and the President of the United States aware and informed on the happenings around the world.
You can find the information you need in a lot of different ways. You might get to go undercover and pretend to be a different person, but for the most part, your job is much more routine. You carry out interviews with informants and allied Agents, analyze data, and read through research. You look for possible international problems, such as civil unrest, war, famine—anything that can cause problems for the United States.
This job involves a lot of collaboration and communication. You work with other Agents, international police forces, or informants. The informants you work with are usually average people, so the ability to speak their language is a big plus.”.

“When you’re a Spy, your job title can be anything, from Manager to Waiter, even criminal. The reason for the multitude of names? As a Spy, your job is to gather information from a range of sources, and you need to do it in any way you can. That includes putting on a disguise.
There are a few different paths that you can take to get into this career, and you can focus on a range of specialties, from technical to languages. The title “Spy” isn’t really used anymore. Instead, you’re now called a Covert Investigator or, more broadly, a CIA Agent. Whatever the title, it means you investigate and protect US interests abroad.
You investigate things like terrorism, fraud, corrupt governments, and a wide variety of other crimes. Your job is to keep Policymakers and the President of the United States aware and informed on the happenings around the world.
You can find the information you need in a lot of different ways. You might get to go undercover and pretend to be a different person, but for the most part, your job is much more routine. You carry out interviews with informants and allied Agents, analyze data, and read through research. You look for possible international problems, such as civil unrest, war, famine—anything that can cause problems for the United States.
This job involves a lot of collaboration and communication. You work with other Agents, international police forces, or informants. The informants you work with are usually average people, so the ability to speak their language is a big plus.”.

Please answer the following question in a minimum of 500 words. Be sure to include 2 citations.
Question:
On August 31, 2010, Chickasaw Industries issued $25 million of its 30-year, 6% convertible bonds dated August 31, priced to yield 5%. The bonds are convertible at the option of the investors into 1,500,000 shares of Chickasaw's common stock. Chickasaw records interest expense at the effective rate. On August 31, 2013, investors in Chickasaw's convertible bonds tendered 20% of the bonds for conversion into common stock that had a market value of $20 per share on the date of the conversion. On January 1, 2012, Chickasaw Industries issued $40 million of its 20-year, 7% bonds dated January 1 at a price to yield 8%. On December 31, 2013, the bonds were extinguished early through acquisition in the open market by Chickasaw for $40.5 million.
Required:
1.
Using the book value method, would recording the conversion of the 6% convertible bonds into common stock affect earnings? If so, by how much? Would earnings be affected if the market value method is used? If so, by how much?
2.
Were the 7% bonds issued at face value, at a discount, or at a premium? Explain.
3.
Would the amount of interest expense for the 7% bonds be higher in the first year or second year of the term to maturity? Explain.
4.
How should gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt be determined? Does the early extinguishment of the 7% bonds result in a gain or loss? Explain.

Final Lab Report
You are required to write a complete laboratory report that covers all three experiments for "Lab 2: Water Quality and Contamination," using knowledge gained throughout the course. To begin, download the Final Lab Report Template and utilize this form to ensure proper formatting and inclusion of all required material. Additionally, view the Sample Final Lab Report before beginning this assignment, which will illustrate what a Final Lab Report should look like. You must use at least four scholarly sources and your lab manual to support your points. The report must be six to ten pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
The Final Lab Report must contain the following eight sections in this order:
1. Title Page – This page must include the title of your report, your name, course name, instructor, and date submitted.
2. Abstract – This section should provide a brief summary of the methods, results, and conclusions. It should allow the reader to see what was done, how it was done, and the results. It should not exceed 200 words and should be the last part written (although it should still appear right after the title page).
3. Introduction – This section should include background information on water quality and an overview of why the experiment was conducted. It should first contain background information of similar studies previously conducted. This is accomplished by citing existing literature from similar experiments. Secondly, it should provide an objective or a reason why the experiment is being done. Why do we want to know the answer to the question we are asking? Finally, it should end with all three hypotheses from your Week Two experiments. These hypotheses should not be adjusted to reflect the “right” answer. Simply place your previous hypotheses in the report here. You do not lose points for an inaccurate hypothesis; scientists often revise their hypotheses based on scientific evidence following the experiments.
4. Materials and Methods – This section should provide a detailed description of the materials used in your experiment and how they were used. A step-by-step rundown of your experiment is necessary; however, it should be done in paragraph form, not in a list format. The description should be exact enough to allow for someone reading the report to replicate the experiment, however, it should be in your own words and not simply copied and pasted from the lab manual.
5. Results – This section should include the data and observations from the experiment. All tables and graphs should be present in this section. In addition to the tables, you must describe the data in text; however, there should be no personal opinions or discussion outside of the results located within t.

Three types of Unemployment
Unemployment is divided into three categories by economist: frictional, structural, and cyclical. Frictional unemployment is unemployment due to constant changes in the economy that prevent qualified unemployed workers from being immediately matched up with existing job openings (Gwartney et al.) Structural unemployment is unemployment due to structural characteristics of the economy that make it difficult for job seekers to find employment to hire workers (Gwartney et al.) Cyclical unemployment is unemployment due to recessionary business conditions and inadequate labor demand (Gwartney et al.)
“Frictional unemployment is not as harmful to an economy as other types of unemployment, such as cyclical and structural unemployment. That's because a rise in frictional unemployment is simply an increase of workers moving toward better positions (Amadeo).”
Frictional unemployment comes from imperfect information. An example would be most businesses now when they are in the hiring process they will do a bunch of interviews and spend money trying to find the best person for that job. The people who are looking for jobs are constantly looking on the internet, the newspaper, local bulletin boards, and social media for the right job that fits them. In the county I live with I see a lot of structural unemployment. People that do have job openings require education; the ones who are unemployed have no education so they aren’t qualified. A lot of office jobs require you to have computer knowledge. Around my home town, there is very little education especially when it comes to technology. The last type of unemployment we see happening today all around the world. Businesses are cutting back and laying employees off. Where I currently work, when someone leaves, they aren’t filling the positions. We have to do more work with fewer employees.
I have a friend who lost her job and I try to encourage her to never give up and keep her faith. Philippians 4:5 states, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God.” That is a good scripture for everyone who is unemployed to keep in mind. Times can be tough when you are looking for a job, but the Bible tells us to never give up, and pray about it.

where 1 is the job number, + or - make the current and previous jobs.
2. How to make it run in foreground ?
You can use fg command to make it run in foreground. If more than one job is suspended, you can use fg %n where n is the number is the sequence of the process to make that process come in foreground.
$ fg %1
Now you will see vi editor again.
3. How to make it run in background ? (Only stopped jobs)
You can use bg command to make it run in background. If more than one job is suspended, you can use bg %n where n is the number is the sequence of the process to make that process come in background.
Let us suspend this job one more time.
$ vi filename

InstructionsFor this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relat.docx
Instructions
For this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relatively linear trend, find the line of best fit, plot the data and the line, interpret the slope, and use the linear equation to make a prediction. Also, find r2 (coefficient of determination) and r (correlation coefficient). Discuss your findings. Your topic may be that is related to sports, your work, a hobby, or something you find interesting. If you choose, you may use the suggestions described below.
A Linear Model Example and Technology Tips are provided in separate documents.
Tasks for Linear Regression Model (LR)
(LR-1) Describe your topic, provide your data, and cite your source. Collect at least 8 data points. Label appropriately. (Highly recommended: Post this information in the Linear Model Project discussion as well as in your completed project. Include a brief informative description in the title of your posting. Each student must use different data.)
The idea with the discussion posting is two-fold: (1) To share your interesting project idea with your classmates, and (2) To give me a chance to give you a brief thumbs-up or thumbs-down about your proposed topic and data. Sometimes students get off on the wrong foot or misunderstand the intent of the project, and your posting provides an opportunity for some feedback. Remark: Students may choose similar topics, but must have different data sets. For example, several students may be interested in a particular Olympic sport, and that is fine, but they must collect different data, perhaps from different events or different gender.
(LR-2) Plot the points (x, y) to obtain a scatterplot. Use an appropriate scale on the horizontal and vertical axes and be sure to label carefully. Visually judge whether the data points exhibit a relatively linear trend. (If so, proceed. If not, try a different topic or data set.)
(LR-3) Find the line of best fit (regression line) and graph it on the scatterplot. State the equation of the line.
(LR-4) State the slope of the line of best fit. Carefully interpret the meaning of the slope in a sentence or two.
(LR-5) Find and state the value of r2, the coefficient of determination, and r, the correlation coefficient. Discuss your findings in a few sentences. Is r positive or negative? Why? Is a line a good curve to fit to this data? Why or why not? Is the linear relationship very strong, moderately strong, weak, or nonexistent?
(LR-6) Choose a value of interest and use the line of best fit to make an estimate or prediction. Show calculation work.
(LR-7) Write a brief narrative of a paragraph or two. Summarize your findings and be sure to mention any aspect of the linear model project (topic, data, scatterplot, line, r, or estimate, etc.) that you found particularly important or interesting.
Scatterplots, Linear Regression, and Correlation [Section 1.4, starting on page 114 in the textbook]

InstructionsFor this week’s assignment, you will synthesize the .docx
Instructions
For this week’s assignment, you will synthesize the most relevant information in the situation below, and present a solution in your own words, using your own analysis. You will not use all of the information included in the scenario. Remember it is not appropriate to cut and paste entire sections from the situation to substitute for your own analysis.
The objective of the assignment is to organize your message in a way that will be most effective in persuading the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to take action.
Situation: Convincing the CEO to Approve a Public Relations Plan
You are the director of public relations for Easy to Be Green, the innovative new company that helps homeowners, businesses, and municipalities become more environmentally friendly. The company has been active in environmental issues in the community since its founding a few years ago and generally has good community relations. Recently EBG’s director of research, who is strongly opinionated about environmental issues, spoke in public about the environmental practices of some local companies who employ many people in the community. Lately, you’ve found that some of your local contacts seem a little less interested in EBG’s public relations initiatives, and there has even been a small drop in sales. There may be no connections between these events, but you want to be proactive about the company’s community relations.
You also want to protect the company against charges of hypocrisy. The other day you as walked through the parking lot, it occurred to you that the majority of the employees drive SUVs, pick-ups, and other kinds of gas guzzlers. This includes the CEO, whose family car is a luxury sedan. The company’s delivery and service vans are also not the most environmentally-friendly vehicles.
After a little research, you come up with a tentative plan. You have learned that a local hybrid car dealership has been offering an interesting deal. Employees of companies that buy hybrids as company vehicles can get discounts when they buy hybrids for themselves. You think that the company should consider purchasing a couple of hybrid vans and encourage employees to buy hybrids for themselves by offering substantial rebates for these purchases. You want to get the CEO’s approval before you pursue this idea any further. You anticipate that he will have significant resistance. The company vehicles are not due for replacement, and the rebates to employees could add up to quite a lot if many employees take up the offer. On the other hand, if only a few employees take up the offer, a significant environmental initiative will seem like a failure. The CEO is a risk-taker in terms of business initiatives but tends to be conservative in management practices. He might also be a little defensive about the hybrid promotion plan because of his own vehicle choices.
You feel strongly that the potential benefits of this plan—in long-term savings on gas, in goo.

This article discusses research showing that the American Dream of social mobility through hard work is less attainable today than in the past. Poor Americans, especially white Americans, are much more pessimistic about their ability to get ahead through hard work compared to poorer Latin Americans. The article analyzes survey data showing high levels of stress and lack of optimism among poor white Americans, while poor black and Hispanic Americans are more optimistic about their future prospects despite facing discrimination. The declining belief in the American Dream, especially among poor whites, suggests it may be in tatters given reduced social support for those facing difficulties.

Strategy and the
Chief Learning Officer
Millbrook Distribution Services
Verna J. Willis and Gary L. May
In the views of the originator of the chief learning officer (CLO) concept—
Willis—and the first practitioner—May—the role a CLO must fulfill is dif-
ferent from a knowledge manager’s role. A CLO is much more deeply
engaged in the social learning and social communication processes that make
a learning organization. Many honest effor ts have been made to untangle
the roots of the CLO concept, the intended purpose, the qualifications, and
above all, the future of the position. Here the pioneers write to set the record
straight, discussing how the role of the CLO was conceived, where and why
it was implemented, and what it has meant for Millbrook Distribution Ser-
vices. They demonstrate that the CLO role is not just a Fortune 500 phe-
nomenon, but has application to smaller companies as well.
Background
The chief learning officer is fast becoming a strategic, lead
player in the drama of today’s business organizations. The histori-
cal nature of the Millbrook case study makes it important to set the
stage a bit differently. Theor y is often born and gains its credibil-
ity through interplay with practitioner experience, and this is the
situation with the Millbrook case. Thus theor y about the practice
of a CLO as well as the real-world practice itself play balanced parts
in how the case has developed and how the position of the CLO at
Millbrook continues to evolve.
Willis first articulated the need for a CLO in a 1991 article pub-
lished in the fledgling Human Resource Development Quarterly. This

Scenario:
Jill Jones is a bright 45-year-old woman who is the vice-president of sales in a mid-sized family owned Candy Corporation. She began her career at the company right out of high school, and over the years earned two college degrees while working her way up the organizational ladder.
One day, Jill was stunned to learn that the firm’s head, William Potter, was considering placing his oldest son, Henry, in the position of CEO while he became chairman of the board. Years earlier, when Jill was in a middle management position, Henry had unsuccessfully propositioned her and made her life miserable. She had never mentioned the incident to anyone and had put it behind her when he was promoted to head the Miami branch of the business. However, now as she looks at William Potter she becomes even more shocked to hear him say” I can’t be objective about him Jill, You have always been so loyal to the company and successful in hiring excellent people for the sales force I want you to review him objectively and give me your recommendation.” Conflicting thoughts rush through her mind, the awful past, the all so possible awful future with him as her boss, the clear knowledge that he has done a great job with the Miami branch, and of course the knowledge that he is the bosses son. What should she do?
“Jill” has just come up against one of the myriad ethical dilemmas companies of all sizes and their employees face on an ongoing basis. Deciding the best course of action might be easy in some cases, when there are clear-cut choices between “right” and “wrong.” But there are many gray areas, like Jill’s, when it’s harder to know what the right choice is for you and your company.

Question:
On August 31, 2010, Chickasaw Industries issued $25 million of its 30-year, 6% convertible bonds dated August 31, priced to yield 5%. The bonds are convertible at the option of the investors into 1,500,000 shares of Chickasaw's common stock. Chickasaw records interest expense at the effective rate. On August 31, 2013, investors in Chickasaw's convertible bonds tendered 20% of the bonds for conversion into common stock that had a market value of $20 per share on the date of the conversion. On January 1, 2012, Chickasaw Industries issued $40 million of its 20-year, 7% bonds dated January 1 at a price to yield 8%. On December 31, 2013, the bonds were extinguished early through acquisition in the open market by Chickasaw for $40.5 million.
Required:
1.
Using the book value method, would recording the conversion of the 6% convertible bonds into common stock affect earnings? If so, by how much? Would earnings be affected if the market value method is used? If so, by how much?
2.
Were the 7% bonds issued at face value, at a discount, or at a premium? Explain.
3.
Would the amount of interest expense for the 7% bonds be higher in the first year or second year of the term to maturity? Explain.
4.
How should gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt be determined? Does the early extinguishment of the 7% bonds result in a gain or loss? Explain.

Final Lab Report
You are required to write a complete laboratory report that covers all three experiments for "Lab 2: Water Quality and Contamination," using knowledge gained throughout the course. To begin, download the Final Lab Report Template and utilize this form to ensure proper formatting and inclusion of all required material. Additionally, view the Sample Final Lab Report before beginning this assignment, which will illustrate what a Final Lab Report should look like. You must use at least four scholarly sources and your lab manual to support your points. The report must be six to ten pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
The Final Lab Report must contain the following eight sections in this order:
1. Title Page – This page must include the title of your report, your name, course name, instructor, and date submitted.
2. Abstract – This section should provide a brief summary of the methods, results, and conclusions. It should allow the reader to see what was done, how it was done, and the results. It should not exceed 200 words and should be the last part written (although it should still appear right after the title page).
3. Introduction – This section should include background information on water quality and an overview of why the experiment was conducted. It should first contain background information of similar studies previously conducted. This is accomplished by citing existing literature from similar experiments. Secondly, it should provide an objective or a reason why the experiment is being done. Why do we want to know the answer to the question we are asking? Finally, it should end with all three hypotheses from your Week Two experiments. These hypotheses should not be adjusted to reflect the “right” answer. Simply place your previous hypotheses in the report here. You do not lose points for an inaccurate hypothesis; scientists often revise their hypotheses based on scientific evidence following the experiments.
4. Materials and Methods – This section should provide a detailed description of the materials used in your experiment and how they were used. A step-by-step rundown of your experiment is necessary; however, it should be done in paragraph form, not in a list format. The description should be exact enough to allow for someone reading the report to replicate the experiment, however, it should be in your own words and not simply copied and pasted from the lab manual.
5. Results – This section should include the data and observations from the experiment. All tables and graphs should be present in this section. In addition to the tables, you must describe the data in text; however, there should be no personal opinions or discussion outside of the results located within t.
INSTRUCTIONSInstructionsPlease evaluate, display, and interpret t.docx

Three types of Unemployment
Unemployment is divided into three categories by economist: frictional, structural, and cyclical. Frictional unemployment is unemployment due to constant changes in the economy that prevent qualified unemployed workers from being immediately matched up with existing job openings (Gwartney et al.) Structural unemployment is unemployment due to structural characteristics of the economy that make it difficult for job seekers to find employment to hire workers (Gwartney et al.) Cyclical unemployment is unemployment due to recessionary business conditions and inadequate labor demand (Gwartney et al.)
“Frictional unemployment is not as harmful to an economy as other types of unemployment, such as cyclical and structural unemployment. That's because a rise in frictional unemployment is simply an increase of workers moving toward better positions (Amadeo).”
Frictional unemployment comes from imperfect information. An example would be most businesses now when they are in the hiring process they will do a bunch of interviews and spend money trying to find the best person for that job. The people who are looking for jobs are constantly looking on the internet, the newspaper, local bulletin boards, and social media for the right job that fits them. In the county I live with I see a lot of structural unemployment. People that do have job openings require education; the ones who are unemployed have no education so they aren’t qualified. A lot of office jobs require you to have computer knowledge. Around my home town, there is very little education especially when it comes to technology. The last type of unemployment we see happening today all around the world. Businesses are cutting back and laying employees off. Where I currently work, when someone leaves, they aren’t filling the positions. We have to do more work with fewer employees.
I have a friend who lost her job and I try to encourage her to never give up and keep her faith. Philippians 4:5 states, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God.” That is a good scripture for everyone who is unemployed to keep in mind. Times can be tough when you are looking for a job, but the Bible tells us to never give up, and pray about it.

Job Control :
1. How to suspend the jobs running in foreground ?
Open a file in vi and press CTRL-Z to put it into background
$ vi filename
CTRL-Z
filename[New file]
[1] + Stopped vi filename
$
where 1 is the job number, + or - make the current and previous jobs.
2. How to make it run in foreground ?
You can use fg command to make it run in foreground. If more than one job is suspended, you can use fg %n where n is the number is the sequence of the process to make that process come in foreground.
$ fg %1
Now you will see vi editor again.
3. How to make it run in background ? (Only stopped jobs)
You can use bg command to make it run in background. If more than one job is suspended, you can use bg %n where n is the number is the sequence of the process to make that process come in background.
Let us suspend this job one more time.
$ vi filename
CTRL-Z
filename[New file]
[1] + Stopped vi filename
$
Let us run in background .
$ bg %1
4. Another way to suspend a job by using kill command.
Run vi in this session.
Open another connection through telnet. Now you have two sessions.
Type ps command to see what processes are running.
$ ps
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
5226 q7 S 0:01 -ksh (ksh) - This is new shell

InstructionsFor this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relat.docx
Instructions
For this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relatively linear trend, find the line of best fit, plot the data and the line, interpret the slope, and use the linear equation to make a prediction. Also, find r2 (coefficient of determination) and r (correlation coefficient). Discuss your findings. Your topic may be that is related to sports, your work, a hobby, or something you find interesting. If you choose, you may use the suggestions described below.
A Linear Model Example and Technology Tips are provided in separate documents.
Tasks for Linear Regression Model (LR)
(LR-1) Describe your topic, provide your data, and cite your source. Collect at least 8 data points. Label appropriately. (Highly recommended: Post this information in the Linear Model Project discussion as well as in your completed project. Include a brief informative description in the title of your posting. Each student must use different data.)
The idea with the discussion posting is two-fold: (1) To share your interesting project idea with your classmates, and (2) To give me a chance to give you a brief thumbs-up or thumbs-down about your proposed topic and data. Sometimes students get off on the wrong foot or misunderstand the intent of the project, and your posting provides an opportunity for some feedback. Remark: Students may choose similar topics, but must have different data sets. For example, several students may be interested in a particular Olympic sport, and that is fine, but they must collect different data, perhaps from different events or different gender.
(LR-2) Plot the points (x, y) to obtain a scatterplot. Use an appropriate scale on the horizontal and vertical axes and be sure to label carefully. Visually judge whether the data points exhibit a relatively linear trend. (If so, proceed. If not, try a different topic or data set.)
(LR-3) Find the line of best fit (regression line) and graph it on the scatterplot. State the equation of the line.
(LR-4) State the slope of the line of best fit. Carefully interpret the meaning of the slope in a sentence or two.
(LR-5) Find and state the value of r2, the coefficient of determination, and r, the correlation coefficient. Discuss your findings in a few sentences. Is r positive or negative? Why? Is a line a good curve to fit to this data? Why or why not? Is the linear relationship very strong, moderately strong, weak, or nonexistent?
(LR-6) Choose a value of interest and use the line of best fit to make an estimate or prediction. Show calculation work.
(LR-7) Write a brief narrative of a paragraph or two. Summarize your findings and be sure to mention any aspect of the linear model project (topic, data, scatterplot, line, r, or estimate, etc.) that you found particularly important or interesting.
Scatterplots, Linear Regression, and Correlation [Section 1.4, starting on page 114 in the textbook]
When we have a set of data, often we would like to develop a model that fits the data.

InstructionsFor this week’s assignment, you will synthesize the .docx
Instructions
For this week’s assignment, you will synthesize the most relevant information in the situation below, and present a solution in your own words, using your own analysis. You will not use all of the information included in the scenario. Remember it is not appropriate to cut and paste entire sections from the situation to substitute for your own analysis.
The objective of the assignment is to organize your message in a way that will be most effective in persuading the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to take action.
Situation: Convincing the CEO to Approve a Public Relations Plan
You are the director of public relations for Easy to Be Green, the innovative new company that helps homeowners, businesses, and municipalities become more environmentally friendly. The company has been active in environmental issues in the community since its founding a few years ago and generally has good community relations. Recently EBG’s director of research, who is strongly opinionated about environmental issues, spoke in public about the environmental practices of some local companies who employ many people in the community. Lately, you’ve found that some of your local contacts seem a little less interested in EBG’s public relations initiatives, and there has even been a small drop in sales. There may be no connections between these events, but you want to be proactive about the company’s community relations.
You also want to protect the company against charges of hypocrisy. The other day you as walked through the parking lot, it occurred to you that the majority of the employees drive SUVs, pick-ups, and other kinds of gas guzzlers. This includes the CEO, whose family car is a luxury sedan. The company’s delivery and service vans are also not the most environmentally-friendly vehicles.
After a little research, you come up with a tentative plan. You have learned that a local hybrid car dealership has been offering an interesting deal. Employees of companies that buy hybrids as company vehicles can get discounts when they buy hybrids for themselves. You think that the company should consider purchasing a couple of hybrid vans and encourage employees to buy hybrids for themselves by offering substantial rebates for these purchases. You want to get the CEO’s approval before you pursue this idea any further. You anticipate that he will have significant resistance. The company vehicles are not due for replacement, and the rebates to employees could add up to quite a lot if many employees take up the offer. On the other hand, if only a few employees take up the offer, a significant environmental initiative will seem like a failure. The CEO is a risk-taker in terms of business initiatives but tends to be conservative in management practices. He might also be a little defensive about the hybrid promotion plan because of his own vehicle choices.
You feel strongly that the potential benefits of this plan—in long-term savings on gas, in goo.
InstructionsDo the following and submit the completed assignment.docx

6. Beneath each section heading, outline the main points of that section.
The following indicates how the first two sections might be done.
1. Narcissism can be tribal as well as individual (Paragraphs 1-3)
a. “We are all narcissists” (80)
b. Can result in harmless activity (e.g. cheering for a team) or destructive activity (e.g. US invasion of Iraq)
2. Group narcissism is natural & can be easy to manipulate (4-5)
a. Humans are social creatures, which “[implies] favoring your group above all others” (81”
b. “These feelings…are dangerously easy to manipulate”

InstructionsCASE STUDY - THE COMPLETE ACCOUNTING CYCLEName ______.docx
This article discusses research showing that the American Dream of social mobility through hard work is less attainable today than in the past. Poor Americans, especially white Americans, are much more pessimistic about their ability to get ahead through hard work compared to poorer Latin Americans. The article analyzes survey data showing high levels of stress and lack of optimism among poor white Americans, while poor black and Hispanic Americans are more optimistic about their future prospects despite facing discrimination. The declining belief in the American Dream, especially among poor whites, suggests it may be in tatters given reduced social support for those facing difficulties.

Strategy and the
Chief Learning Officer
Millbrook Distribution Services
Verna J. Willis and Gary L. May
In the views of the originator of the chief learning officer (CLO) concept—
Willis—and the first practitioner—May—the role a CLO must fulfill is dif-
ferent from a knowledge manager’s role. A CLO is much more deeply
engaged in the social learning and social communication processes that make
a learning organization. Many honest effor ts have been made to untangle
the roots of the CLO concept, the intended purpose, the qualifications, and
above all, the future of the position. Here the pioneers write to set the record
straight, discussing how the role of the CLO was conceived, where and why
it was implemented, and what it has meant for Millbrook Distribution Ser-
vices. They demonstrate that the CLO role is not just a Fortune 500 phe-
nomenon, but has application to smaller companies as well.
Background
The chief learning officer is fast becoming a strategic, lead
player in the drama of today’s business organizations. The histori-
cal nature of the Millbrook case study makes it important to set the
stage a bit differently. Theor y is often born and gains its credibil-
ity through interplay with practitioner experience, and this is the
situation with the Millbrook case. Thus theor y about the practice
of a CLO as well as the real-world practice itself play balanced parts
in how the case has developed and how the position of the CLO at
Millbrook continues to evolve.
Willis first articulated the need for a CLO in a 1991 article pub-
lished in the fledgling Human Resource Development Quarterly. This

Scenario:
Jill Jones is a bright 45-year-old woman who is the vice-president of sales in a mid-sized family owned Candy Corporation. She began her career at the company right out of high school, and over the years earned two college degrees while working her way up the organizational ladder.
One day, Jill was stunned to learn that the firm’s head, William Potter, was considering placing his oldest son, Henry, in the position of CEO while he became chairman of the board. Years earlier, when Jill was in a middle management position, Henry had unsuccessfully propositioned her and made her life miserable. She had never mentioned the incident to anyone and had put it behind her when he was promoted to head the Miami branch of the business. However, now as she looks at William Potter she becomes even more shocked to hear him say” I can’t be objective about him Jill, You have always been so loyal to the company and successful in hiring excellent people for the sales force I want you to review him objectively and give me your recommendation.” Conflicting thoughts rush through her mind, the awful past, the all so possible awful future with him as her boss, the clear knowledge that he has done a great job with the Miami branch, and of course the knowledge that he is the bosses son. What should she do?
“Jill” has just come up against one of the myriad ethical dilemmas companies of all sizes and their employees face on an ongoing basis. Deciding the best course of action might be easy in some cases, when there are clear-cut choices between “right” and “wrong.” But there are many gray areas, like Jill’s, when it’s harder to know what the right choice is for you and your company.

The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
