The Human Place in the Organic
World
Humans have a great need to answer questions about who we are
and where we belong in the greater story
Classification is sciences way of handling the diversity of life on the
planet in an organized way
Classification
•Organizes diversity into categories
•Indicates evolutionary and genetic relationships
•The kingdom Animalia includes 20 major phyla
• Chordata are all animals with a nerve cord, gill slits (at some point)
and supporting cord along the back. (This is us)
Human Classification
• Kingdom: Animalia
• Phylum: Chordata
• Subphylum: Vertebrata
• Class: Mammalia
• Subclass: Eutheria
• Order: Primates
• Family: Hominidae
• Genus: Homo
• Species: sapiens
Principles of Classification
The field that establishes the rules of classification is taxonomy.
Organisms are classified first on the basis of physical similarities.
• Basic physical similarities must reflect evolutionary descent in
order for them to be useful.
Principles of Classification
Homologies
◦ Similarities based on a common ancestor.
Analogies

1.What are the main issues facing Fargo and Town Manager Susan.docxcroysierkathey
1.What are the main issues facing Fargo and Town Manager Susan Harlow?
Fargo and Town Manager Harlow are on a slippery slope to corruption. I think that Harlow is handling her position the correct way by trying to remain neutral and sticking to a code of ethics so the problem really comes down to the political actors in the town. It is good that Harlow declined the invite to the dinner party, and cracked down on employees playing politics at work, that is a step in the right direction to removing the possibility of political corruption.
2.What is the basis for your answer to question #1?
At the end of the article Harlow remembers another city manager saying “you never have more authority than the day you walk into your office” What I get from that, and what I think Harlow got from that is that when you come into a position as a public manager everyone is going to want something from you. Political actors are going to want political favors, quid pro quos, you have something that everyone else wants and they are going to try and get that from you.
3.What are your recommended solutions to the problems you identified?
I think the best thing to do would be to continue to try to remain neutral. It will always be impossible to please absolutely everybody so the best thing to do is try to avoid doing everything everyone asks and stick to some sort of code of ethics.
4.What points do you agree, disagree or want further discussion from your fellow classmates and why? (tell them not me)
I think the overarching theme of this article is that people are going to want things from the government. I agree with Harlow's steps to avoid political corruption in her administration by cracking down on political favors with the snow plows and referring to the ICMA code of ethics.

Writing: Practice in Reading a Photograph
Attached Files:
Bachman, Ieshia Evans, Baton Rouge (2016).jpg
(277.283 KB)
For this assignment, you will practice analyzing how various rhetorical elements contribute to the overall meaning of a visual image--in this case, a photograph. To begin, click on the attached image.
By way of some context, this photo was taken in 2016 at a protest rally in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The woman in the photo is named Ieshia Evans. The photographer is named Jonathan Bachman. Bachman's photo, which was first published by Reuters, was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in 2017. You can use this information to do more research on the image, if you like.
Now, review once again the Elements and Methods of Visual Rhetoric document and select from it
three
elements that you wish to discuss in relation to this photo. Please note that this is not a formal essay assignment, so do not treat it as such. For example, you do not need to create a formal introduction.
Begin by simply providing an
interpretive claim
--i.e., stating what you believe is the meaning or message of Bachman's photo. Ideally, this should be just
one
sentence (tho you can write two if necessary). After that, your document simply needs to contain
three paragraphs
, one for each rhetorical element you have selected. In each paragraph, you need to explain fully how the particular element contributes to the overall meaning or message of the image.
Note: Your assignment must be submitted as an attached .doc or .docx file. Name your file correctly, using your last name and brief description of assignment (e.g., Martinez, Photograph.docx).

1.The following clause was added to the Food and Drug Actthe S.docxcroysierkathey
1.The following clause was added to the Food and Drug Act:
“the Secretary [of the Food and Drug Administration] shall not approve for use in food any chemical additive found to induce cancer in man, or, after tests, found to induce cancer in animals.”
After this clause was adopted, no new additives could be approved for use in food if they caused cancer in people or animals.
The public loved this and industry hated it.
What do you think of this clause? Do you support it or do you oppose it?
At the top of your post, please indicate SUPPORT or OPPOSE and then give your rationale. Then after you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
2.There was a law that individuals who were indigent and who wished to litigate could apply to the courts for a total waiver of the normal filing fee. In the legislative session, however, a statute was enacted which limits the courts' authority to waive filing fees in lawsuits brought by prisoners against the state government.
Under this new law, a court has to require the prisoner to pay a filing fee "equal to 20 percent ... of the average monthly deposits made to the prisoner's [prison] account ... or the average balance in that account", whichever is greater (unless this calculation yields a figure larger than the normal filing fee).
A prisoner (who was indigent) wanted to appeal his case and was to be charged this fee. He filed suit claiming it was unconstitutional to charge this fee to prisoners.
Choose the side of the prisoner or the side of the state and tell why you would rule for the side you chose.
At the top of your post, please indicate SUPPORT PRISONER or OPPOSE PRISONER and then give your rationale. After you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.
3.A defendant pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography and was sentenced to 108 months in prison. The sentencing judge raised the defendant’s base offense level….by two levels because "a computer was used for the transmission" of the illegal material.
The appeal filed challenged the punishment enhancement (not his guilt of the base punishment.)
The defendant argued the law did not apply to him because he did not use a computer to transmit the material. (ie He was the receiver, not the sender, of the child pornography.)
Do you believe that the sentence enhancement should be upheld? Give an economic analysis and rational for your choice.
At the top of your post, please indicate SENTENCE UPHELD or SENTENCE REVERSED and then give your economic analysis/rationale. After you can view your classmates' posts, make your case to your fellow students.

1.This week, we’ve been introduced to the humanities and have ta.docxcroysierkathey
1.
This week, we’ve been introduced to the humanities and have taken some time to consider the role of the humanities in establishing socio-cultural values, including how the humanities differ from the sciences in terms of offering unique lenses on the world and our reality. Since one of the greatest rewards of being a human is engaging with different forms of art, we’ve taken some time this week to learn about what it means to identify and respond to a work of art. We’ve learned about the difference between abstract ideas and concrete images and concepts like structure and artistic form. To help you deepen your understanding of these foundational ideas, your Unit 1 assignment will consist of writing an essay addressing using the following criteria:
Essay Requirements:
• 1,000 words or roughly four double-spaced pages.
• Make use of at least three scholarly sources to support and develop your ideas. Our course text may serve as one of these three sources.
• Your essay should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the READ and ATTEND sections.
• Be sure to cite your sources using proper APA format (7th edition).
Essay Prompt:
• In this essay, you will consider the meaning of art and artistic form by responding to these questions:
o To what extent does Kevin Carter’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph (figure 2-5) have artistic form?
o Using what you’ve learned in Chapters 1, 2 and 14 explain if you consider Carter’s photograph a work of art? Be sure to point to specific qualities of the photograph to support/develop your response.
o How do you measure the intensity of your experience in response to Carter’s photograph? What does it make you see/feel/imagine and how does your response/reaction support Carter’s image as a work of art?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

The Human Place in the Organic
World
Humans have a great need to answer questions about who we are
3. and where we belong in the greater story
Classification is sciences way of handling the diversity of life
on the
planet in an organized way
Classification
•Organizes diversity into categories
•Indicates evolutionary and genetic relationships
•The kingdom Animalia includes 20 major phyla
• Chordata are all animals with a nerve cord, gill slits (at some
point)
and supporting cord along the back. (This is us)
Human Classification
• Kingdom: Animalia
• Phylum: Chordata
• Subphylum: Vertebrata
• Class: Mammalia
• Subclass: Eutheria
• Order: Primates
4. • Family: Hominidae
• Genus: Homo
• Species: sapiens
Principles of Classification
The field that establishes the rules of classification is
taxonomy.
Organisms are classified first on the basis of physical
similarities.
• Basic physical similarities must reflect evolutionary descent in
order for them to be useful.
Principles of Classification
Homologies
◦ Similarities based on a common ancestor.
Analogies
◦ Similarities based on common function, with no assumed
common evolutionary descent.
Homologies
• The foot bones of these
5. animals can be most easily
explained by descent from a
common ancestor.
• Small mutations in Hox
genes can lead to huge
differentiation over time
Analogies
•Wings have evolved for
flight, but birds bats and
butterflies do not share
common ancestry
•Homoplasy is the process of
evolutionary development of
similar characteristics in
different groups of organisms
that leads to analogies.
Classification and Evolutionary Relationships
Evolutionary systematics
◦ Traditional approach in which presumed ancestors and
descendants
are traced in time by analysis of homologous characters
(ancestral).
Cladistics
◦ Newer approach uses only certain traits (derived) to try to
6. make more
relevant evolutionary connections
◦ Predominant method used by anthropologists
Ancestral and Derived (Modified) Characters
Ancestral Characters inherited by a group of organisms from
a remote ancestor and not diagnostic of groups that
diverged after the character appeared; also called primitive.
Derived (Modified) Characteristics are modified from the
ancestral condition and thus are diagnostic of particular
evolutionary lineages.
Clade
A distinct evolutionary lineage that shares a “recent” common
ancestor
• Shares derived traits that allow for the distinction of groups
• This group distinction allows for more relevant and
informative evolutionary
analysis
• i.e. forelimb bones in land vertebrates vs. hooves, flippers and
wings
7. Traditional Interpretation of
Birds and Dinosaurs
Traditional view, no close relationship.
Cladistic Interpretation of
Birds and Dinosaurs
Revised view, common ancestry of birds and dinosaurs.
Phylogenetic Tree
• A chart showing evolutionary
relationships as determined by
evolutionary systematics.
• It contains a time component and
implies ancestor descendant
relationships.
Cladogram
•A chart showing evolutionary
relationships as determined by
8. cladistic analysis.
•It’s based solely on interpretation
of shared derived characters.
•It contains no time component
and does not imply ancestor-
descendant relationships.
Types of variation
Intraspecific: Variation accounted for by individual,
age, and sex differences seen within every biological
species
• Sexual Dimorphism
Interspecific: Variation representing differences
between reproductively isolated groups
Understanding “Genus”
• A genus is a group of species composed of members more
closely related to each other than to species from any
other genus.
• Genus Equus
• Species that are members of the same genus share the
same broad adaptive zone.
• Horses, donkeys, zebras are grazing herbivores that live on
9. open
plains
• Members of the same genus should all share derived
characters not seen in members of other genera.
• Single toe (hoof)
Interpreting the Fossil Record
The goal is to make meaningful biological statements about
the variation represented in groups of organisms.
Identifying individual variation, age changes, variation due
to sex (sexual dimorphism)
Fossil species are understood based on observations of
living animals
Fossils
Traces of ancient organisms and formed in several ways
•Mineralization occurs very slowly as water carrying minerals,
such as
silica or iron, seeps into the tiny spaces within a bone. In some
cases,
the original minerals within the bone or tooth can be completely
replaced.
•Traces of life forms that include insects trapped in tree sap,
leaf
10. imprints, footprints, skeletal remains and remains of digestive
tracts
•Taphonomy is the study of how bones and other materials come
to
be buried in the earth and preserved as fossils
Archaeopteryx
150 million
years ago
Homo heidelbergensis 700 to 200,000 years ago
Laetoli
Footprints
3.5 million
years ago
99 million year old lizard in amber
Geological Time Scale
The organization of earth history into eras, periods, and epochs;
commonly used by geologists and paleoanthropologists.
11. Geological Eras
Paleozoic
◦ Vertebrates appeared 500 mya.
Mesozoic
◦ Reptiles were dominant land vertebrate, placental
mammals appeared 70 mya.
Cenozoic
◦ Divided into Tertiary and Quaternary periods and 7
epochs.
◦ The Age of Mammals
Epochs
Smaller more defined categories of the geological time scale.
In the Cenozoic, epochs include
◦ Paleocene
◦ Eocene
◦ Oligocene
◦ Miocene
◦ Pliocene
◦ Pleistocene
◦ Holocene
Where we are today
We are currently living in the Holocene Epoch (The
12. Age of Civilization), which is part of the Quaternary
Period (The Age of Man), within the Cenozoic Era
(The Age of Mammals)
◦ * It was recently decided that we have entered a new
epoch. The name Anthropocene, or “New Man” has
been proposed for it, as well as a start date at the
beginning of the atomic era
Continental Drift
The movement of continents on sliding plates of
the earth’s surface.
As a result, the positions of large landmasses have
shifted drastically during the earth’s history.
Why does this matter?
Continental Drift
The positions of the continents
during the Mesozoic (c. 125
mya.).
Pangea is breaking up into a
northern landmass (Laurasia)
and a southern landmass
(Gondwanaland).
Continental Drift
13. The positions of the
continents at the beginning
of the Cenozoic (c. 65
mya).
Mammalian Evolution
The Cenozoic era, the Age of Mammals.
The enlargement of the cerebrum, especially the neocortex,
which
controls higher brain functions, resulting in more nerve cells
A longer, more intense period of growth in utero
Distinctive dentition, termed a heterodont dentition, with 3
incisors,
1 canine, 4 premolars, and 3 molars in each quarter of mouth
Maintenance of constant internal body temperature, warm-
bloodedness, and endothermic
Lateral View of the Brain
Lateral view of the brain in fishes, reptiles, dogs, and
primates.
Note the increased size of the cerebral cortex of the primate
brain.
14. Reptilian and Mammalian Teeth
Reptilian teeth (top) are
homodont.
Mammals are heterodont,
they have different kinds of
teeth; incisors, canines,
premolars, and molars.
Body temperature regulation
Endothermic: Able to maintain internal body temperature by
producing energy through metabolic processes within cells;
mammals, birds, and perhaps some dinosaurs.
Ectothermic: Internal body temperature is
controlled through exposure to the sun;
reptiles
Major Mammalian Groups
Monotremes: Egg laying mammals
Marsupials: Pouched mammals
Placental: Longer in utero time
15. Adaptive Radiation
A process that takes place when a life form rapidly
takes advantage of the many newly available ecological
niches.
A species, or group of species, will diverge into as many
variations as two factors allow:
1. Its adaptive potential.
2. The adaptive opportunities of the available niches.
Generalized and Specialized
Characteristics
Refer to the adaptive potential of a particular trait
Generalized if a trait is adapted for many functions: a
mammalian limb with five fairly flexible digits, adapted for
many possible functions
Specialized if a trait is limited to a narrow set of functions:
hand or foot suited for specialized function of stable weight
support in an upright posture
