Recall from the chapter on the central nervous system (CNS) that the general senses detect such stimuli as touch, pain, and temperature. General senses refer to the fact that these receptors are relatively simple and located throughout the body in both the skin and internal organs. The special senses, in contrast, are so named because they convey a specific type of information from specialized sensory organs in discrete locations of the head. For this assignment you will; Imagine you are driving or biking on a high-traffic road and you are approaching an intersection with a four-way stop and railroad train track. Additionally, there are three cars in the other lanes of the intersection and visibility is decreased because of foggy weather conditions. Describe what special senses you will use to make the determination to safely proceed into the intersection. Then, in a detailed summary, explain the pathways for each of the special senses involved. Describe the pathways for the special senses not involved in this case and explain why they are not used. Describe how the brain interprets information from each of those special senses. Describe how the brain sends messages to the body to react to information from these special senses. This PowerPoint® (Microsoft Office) or Impress® (Open Office) presentation should be a minimum of 20 slides, including a title and reference slide, recorded audio and be sure to include a reference slide. You will describe what special senses you will use to make the determination to safely proceed into the intersection. Your submission should include a minimum of 5 peer-reviewed sources to support any of your perspective. Please review the module’s Signature Assignment Rubric before starting this assignment to ensure that you are meeting all the essential requirements. This presentation is worth 300 points for quality content and presentation. Assignment Expectations Length: 8 to 12 minutes, at least 17 slides Structure: Title slide and reference slides in APA style. (at least 2 slides) Special senses: at least 4 slides Pathways: at least 2 slides Not involved senses: at least 4 slides Brain interpretations: at least 3 slides Messages: at least 2 slides Include a title slide and reference slide in APA style.

Topic 2 Essay
An essay is a formal text that addresses a specific topic or theme through analysis, interpretation, or speculation. It has a clear structure consisting of an introduction, three main body paragraphs developing arguments or points, and a conclusion. Each paragraph also has its own structure, with a topic sentence, supporting details, and concluding sentence. To write an essay, one must first structure paragraphs around a central thesis before introducing the topic, developing arguments in the body, and concluding by restating the main idea without new information.
Rhetorical Structure Journal Entry
This document provides tips for completing a 400+ word journal entry analyzing one or more articles for a research essay assignment. The entry must include: a brief 3 sentence summary of the text(s), an overview of the rhetorical structure used, and a judgment on the effectiveness of that structure. For a single article analysis, the introduction should include the writer's central claim, premises, data, and assumptions. The thesis must make a judgment on the validity of the conclusion. For analyzing multiple articles, the introduction identifies which aspect of argument (e.g. data, frame of reference) is compared, and the thesis judges which author uses that aspect better. The body then analyzes similarities or differences in that aspect between the articles.

Outline for Speech 2 Visual AidsTopicChoose a topic that yo.docx
Outline for Speech 2: Visual Aids
Topic
Choose a topic that you are interested in and that your audience might be interested in.
Format
This outline should be at least 3 pages in length and use 12-point font.
Use appropriate coordination and subordination. Use full sentences, including subjects and verbs for the main ideas or main points and the 1st order of subordinate ideas or sub-points. Consistently use either full-sentence or list form for 2nd -order sub-points supporting the same 1st order sub-point. Usually use list form for 3rd order, 4th order, and 5th order sub-points.
Enhance the readability of the outline. Use only one idea per point, only one sentence per point, single-space each point, and double-space vertically between points. Leave a line of white space between each point at every level.
Transitions between major sections and the main points should be provided in the outline (enclosed in parentheses). Use transitions to move the audience’s attention from one section to another or from one main point to another.
Use a consistent pattern of indentation. Type main points flush with the left margin. Indent 5 spaces for 1st-order sub-points, 10 spaces for 2nd-order sub-points, 15 spaces for 3rd-order sub-points, 20 spaces for 4th-order sub-points.
Use the following system to label the points in the body:
Main Points: upper case Roman numerals [I, II, III, IV, V]
1st -order sub-points: upper case letters [A, B, C, D, E]
2nd -order sub-points: Arabic numerals [1, 2.3, 4, 5]
3rd -order sub-points: lower-case letters {a, b, c, d, e],
4th -order sub-points: Arabic numerals in parentheses [(1), (2), (3)]
Content
Specific Purpose:
Formulated into one sentence, the specific purpose identifies the precise response the speaker desires from the audience. Do not use infinitive phrases, i.e., “to inform” or “to persuade.” Place the label for the specific purpose sentence flush with the left margin.
Thesis Sentence:
The thesis sentence (addressed to the audience, not the instructor) summarizes everything the speaker intends to say during the speech. Place the label for the thesis sentence flush with the left margin.

XU1
Constructing Body Paragraphs/The PIE Paragraph
As soon as a reader receives your thesis statement, your job as writer becomes supporting that thesis statement. We support thesis statements with our body paragraphs. Each body paragraph needs to cover a different point/idea. The body paragraphs should always take on the same form. We will construct body paragraphs using the PIE (point, illustration, explanation) method. Please review the notes and examples below and contact me with any questions you may have.
The P.I.E. Paragraph: Body Paragraphs after Thesis
P = Point
What is the point of this paragraph?
What claim is being made?
Often, the point is the TOPIC SENTENCE. The topic sentence for each body paragraph needs to be arguable, one that a reader can agree or disagree with. By stating a claim in your topic sentence, you are letting your reader know that you will support your claim by providing illustrations and explanation/analysis in the rest of the paragraph.
I = Illustration
How is the point supported with specific data, experiences, or other factual material?
The illustration is the evidence used to support/develop the point.
E = Explanation
What does the provided information mean? The explanation is the writer's analysis, elaboration, evaluation of the point and information given, connecting the information with the point (topic sentence) and the thesis.
Below is a sample PIE Paragraph.
From The Color of Water:
Ruth’s method of dealing with the pain she experiences is by turning outward. Ruth herself describes that, even as a young girl, she had an urge to run, to feel the freedom and the movement of her legs pumping as fast as they can (42). As an adult, Ruth still feels the urge to run. Following her second husband’s death, James points out that, “while she weebled and wobbled and leaned, she did not fall. She responded with speed and motion. She would not stop moving” (163). As she biked, walked, rode the bus all over the city, “she kept moving as if her life depended on it, which in some ways it did. She ran, as she had done most of her life, but this time she was running for her own sanity” (164). The image of running that McBride uses supports his understanding of his mother as someone who does not stop and consider what is happening in her life yet is able to move ahead. Movement provides the solution, although a temporary one, and preserves her sanity. Discrete moments of action preserve her sense of her own strength and offer her new alternatives for the future. Even McBride’s sentence structure in the paragraph about his mother’s running supports the effectiveness of her spurts of action without reflection. Although varying in length, each of the last seven sentences of the paragraph begins with the subject “She” and an active verb such as “rode,” “walked,” “took,” “grasp” and “ran.” The section is choppy, repetitive and yet clear, as if to reinforce Ruth’s unconscious insistence on movement as a means of coping with th.
Length No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more.docx
Length: No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more); no more than 8 pages or
2800 words (whichever is less). The paper should be double spaced with 11-pt or 12-pt font and
1-inch margins. Font should be Times or Palatino only. Do not include a title page.
Other requirements: Paper must be carefully edited using grammar/spell-check, and also
proofread by a human brain other than your own. Your submission should be written in a formal
tone, without making use of conversational or colloquial English. This paper satisfies part of the
disciplinary communication (DC) requirement, so it must be written with serious care. It needs a
clear introduction with thesis statement, logically developed body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
No citations or direct quotes are necessary, although you are welcome to include a quote from the
original theory if it was one of the ones that we read. If you do use any direct quotes, please
include a “Works Cited” list at the end of your paper. This page is not part of your page or word
count.
TOPIC DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of the quarter, I introduced the idea of a metaphorical “dinner party with social
theorists.” In this paper, you will demonstrate your ability to apply concepts from classical social
theory to the contemporary social world by putting several different theories into conversation
with one another. Your goal is to show how classical theory helps to explain and/or fails to
explain the origin/operation of your social problem or feature of the social world (as you
understand it). Here’s how to proceed:
1. Choose either (A) a social problem that you feel passionate about or (B) a feature of the
social world that you find fascinating. Examples of social problems could include things
like racial tracking in education or the conservative attack on labor unions; examples of
features of the social world could include behavior like internet trolling or trends in
romantic relationships among college-age people. The possibilities are quite endless. The
easiest topic to work with will be specific and narrow, and also something that you are
personally invested in (we will take Weber’s advice about value-relevance here ☺ ).
2. Analyze your topic through the lens of three different theorists that we have covered this
quarter. Most of you will find it easiest to use Marx/Weber/Durkheim, but you are
welcome to use others we have covered as well if you feel inclined to do so.
HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS BEFORE WRITING
1. Once you’ve chosen your area of focus, write down some general ideas for yourself about
how you understand it. For example, if you’ve picked the school-to-prison pipeline, you
can sketch out a general statement of what you already know about it, where you learned
what you know, and what questions you still have.
2. Pick which three theorists you are going to use.
3. From each theorist, choose three concepts, terms, or theories. Since we talked about ...

Recognizing the fact usernames passwords are the weakest link in an.docx
Recognizing the fact usernames passwords are the weakest link in an organization’s security system because username and password are shareable, and most passwords and usernames are vulnerable and ready to be cracked with a variety of methods using adopting a record number of devices and platforms connected to the Internet of Things daily and at an alarming rate.
Provide the all-inclusive and systematic narratives of the impact of physical biometric operations on the current and future generation.
An Integrated Approach of Physical Biometric Authentication System
Objective
Per Fennelly (2017), every human being is created differently with physical and behavioral traits that are unique; and everyone’s fingerprints, iris, facial feature and body types are entirely different from one another. The effective and efficient use of biometric technology will play a key role in automating a new method of identifying living person based on individual physiological and behavioral characteristics. Protecting sensitive information from vulnerable access by unauthorized users is paramount in our digital world and attempting to identify and mitigating such operation is becoming very challenging and troubling to the entire human society.
Biometric authentication-based identity is playing a vital role in security operations. Traditional authentication approach used to identity logon, logout, username, passwords are no longer enough to battle the identity and security crisis. Physical Biometric processes often allow the authentication of an individual personal data to be stored in a document format for future references. The comparison is often used to determine whether the biometric characteristics of individual match the previously information recorded in the document. Physical biometric systems have proven to be very effective in verification and identification processes.
Physical biometric identification and recognition processes are classified in three groupings including acquisition, feature extraction and comparison. Traditionally, biometric characteristics are acquired through measurements, such as a camera, microphone, fingerprint scanner, gathering of specific characteristics and creation of digital representation, photograph, a voice recording and scanned fingerprint. Most naturally significant areas supporting physical biometric process include corners of the eyes, mouth, nose, chin and likely to be identified by human inspection and through an automated biometric process.
Biometric Access Control is a security system used to provides conditional access after scanning for unique physical characteristics including installing Biometric Access at ATM’s and other public facilities to safeguard financial data. Indeed, when faces, fingers, irises and veins are scanned such data are converted into digital format and a complex algorithm is used to make a match. Such physical biometric processes .

(page 92-93) ESSAY #2 TO EDUCATE A DIVERSE NATION, TOPPLE THE IVORY TOWER*
*“To Educate a Diverse Nation, Topple the Ivory Tower,” by Marybeth Gasman, from The Huffington Post, November 2, 2015. Reproduced by permission.
Marybeth Gasman
The author is a professor of education at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education and is also a regular contributor to The Huffington Post.
Visit a U.S. college campus today and you’ll see a more diverse student body than ever before. Over the last 30 years, the number of Hispanic students has risen five-fold, Asian and Pacific Islander enrollment has tripled, black enrollment has risen 150 percent and Native American enrollment has doubled.
But the graduation rate for minority students falls far below the nationwide average. Our colleges and universities are not succeeding at educating students with diverse backgrounds. In an increasingly competitive global economy, our country cannot afford this waste of time, money and talent.
There are solutions to this problem, but they’re found outside the ivory tower. Over the past three years, we visited a dozen minority-serving institutions or MSIs—from Paul Quinn, a historically black college in Dallas, to Salish Kootenai, a tribal college in Montana, and San Diego City College. We learned a number of lessons—all of which run counter to mainstream higher education thinking.
First and most important, these colleges acknowledge that traditionally underrepresented students face challenges that go far beyond paying tuition. These range from family obligations to fear and uncertainty about the meaning of college to “math shame” and speaking English as a second language. In response, the colleges have toppled the traditional hierarchies and responsibilities of faculty, staff, and students. Everyone is expected to understand the challenges.

Recognizing Arguments
In this assignment, you will apply key concepts covered in the module readings. You will identify the component parts of arguments and differentiate between various types of arguments such as strict, loose, inductive, and deductive. You will then construct specific, original arguments.
There are
two
parts to the assignment. Complete both parts.
Part 1
1a: Identify Components of Arguments
Identify the component parts of the argument, premises and conclusion, for the following passages. Where applicable, highlight key words or phrases that identify a claim as a premise or a conclusion.
Refer to the following example:
“All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal.”
All men are mortal.
Premise
Socrates is a man.
Premise
Therefore
, Socrates is mortal.
Conclusion
“Therefore” is a key word indicating the claim is the conclusion.

Sue is pregnant and will give birth to one child. We know already this child has no genetic anomalies. If Sue’s baby is a boy, he will be named Mark. If Sue’s baby is a girl, she will be named Margaret. Sue will have either a boy or a girl. So we know Sue’s baby will be named Mark or Margaret.
2.
If the library has
The
Lord of the Rings,
you won’t find it on the first floor. This is because all fantasy novels are fiction and all works of fiction are housed on the second floor of the library. Of course, I am assuming that all the books are properly shelved at this time.

“After a year, brain scans showed that among the walkers, the hippocampus had increased in volume by about 2 percent on average; in the others, it had declined by about 1.4 percent. Since such a decline is normal in older adults, ’a 2 percent increase is fairly significant,’ said the lead author, Kirk Erickson, a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh. Both groups also improved on a test of spatial memory, but the walkers improved more. While it is hard to generalize from this study to other populations, the researchers were delighted to learn that the hippocampus might expand with exercise” (Span, 2011).

Topic 2 Essay
An essay is a formal text that addresses a specific topic or theme through analysis, interpretation, or speculation. It has a clear structure consisting of an introduction, three main body paragraphs developing arguments or points, and a conclusion. Each paragraph also has its own structure, with a topic sentence, supporting details, and concluding sentence. To write an essay, one must first structure paragraphs around a central thesis before introducing the topic, developing arguments in the body, and concluding by restating the main idea without new information.
Rhetorical Structure Journal Entry
This document provides tips for completing a 400+ word journal entry analyzing one or more articles for a research essay assignment. The entry must include: a brief 3 sentence summary of the text(s), an overview of the rhetorical structure used, and a judgment on the effectiveness of that structure. For a single article analysis, the introduction should include the writer's central claim, premises, data, and assumptions. The thesis must make a judgment on the validity of the conclusion. For analyzing multiple articles, the introduction identifies which aspect of argument (e.g. data, frame of reference) is compared, and the thesis judges which author uses that aspect better. The body then analyzes similarities or differences in that aspect between the articles.

Outline for Speech 2 Visual AidsTopicChoose a topic that yo.docx
Outline for Speech 2: Visual Aids
Topic
Choose a topic that you are interested in and that your audience might be interested in.
Format
This outline should be at least 3 pages in length and use 12-point font.
Use appropriate coordination and subordination. Use full sentences, including subjects and verbs for the main ideas or main points and the 1st order of subordinate ideas or sub-points. Consistently use either full-sentence or list form for 2nd -order sub-points supporting the same 1st order sub-point. Usually use list form for 3rd order, 4th order, and 5th order sub-points.
Enhance the readability of the outline. Use only one idea per point, only one sentence per point, single-space each point, and double-space vertically between points. Leave a line of white space between each point at every level.
Transitions between major sections and the main points should be provided in the outline (enclosed in parentheses). Use transitions to move the audience’s attention from one section to another or from one main point to another.
Use a consistent pattern of indentation. Type main points flush with the left margin. Indent 5 spaces for 1st-order sub-points, 10 spaces for 2nd-order sub-points, 15 spaces for 3rd-order sub-points, 20 spaces for 4th-order sub-points.
Use the following system to label the points in the body:
Main Points: upper case Roman numerals [I, II, III, IV, V]
1st -order sub-points: upper case letters [A, B, C, D, E]
2nd -order sub-points: Arabic numerals [1, 2.3, 4, 5]
3rd -order sub-points: lower-case letters {a, b, c, d, e],
4th -order sub-points: Arabic numerals in parentheses [(1), (2), (3)]

Paragraph Writing.pptx
The paragraph is the basic unit of composition. It has three main parts: a topic sentence, supporting details, and a concluding sentence. The topic sentence introduces the main idea. Supporting details provide examples, facts, and analysis to develop the topic sentence. The concluding sentence restates the main idea and ties together the paragraph. There are four types of paragraphs: descriptive, narrative, expository, and persuasive. Descriptive paragraphs use details to describe a topic. Narrative paragraphs tell a story. Expository paragraphs explain or define a topic. Persuasive paragraphs aim to convince the reader of a viewpoint.

Constructing Body Paragraphs/The PIE Paragraph
As soon as a reader receives your thesis statement, your job as writer becomes supporting that thesis statement. We support thesis statements with our body paragraphs. Each body paragraph needs to cover a different point/idea. The body paragraphs should always take on the same form. We will construct body paragraphs using the PIE (point, illustration, explanation) method. Please review the notes and examples below and contact me with any questions you may have.
The P.I.E. Paragraph: Body Paragraphs after Thesis
P = Point
What is the point of this paragraph?
What claim is being made?
Often, the point is the TOPIC SENTENCE. The topic sentence for each body paragraph needs to be arguable, one that a reader can agree or disagree with. By stating a claim in your topic sentence, you are letting your reader know that you will support your claim by providing illustrations and explanation/analysis in the rest of the paragraph.
I = Illustration
How is the point supported with specific data, experiences, or other factual material?
The illustration is the evidence used to support/develop the point.
E = Explanation
What does the provided information mean? The explanation is the writer's analysis, elaboration, evaluation of the point and information given, connecting the information with the point (topic sentence) and the thesis.
Below is a sample PIE Paragraph.
From The Color of Water:
Ruth’s method of dealing with the pain she experiences is by turning outward. Ruth herself describes that, even as a young girl, she had an urge to run, to feel the freedom and the movement of her legs pumping as fast as they can (42). As an adult, Ruth still feels the urge to run. Following her second husband’s death, James points out that, “while she weebled and wobbled and leaned, she did not fall. She responded with speed and motion. She would not stop moving” (163). As she biked, walked, rode the bus all over the city, “she kept moving as if her life depended on it, which in some ways it did. She ran, as she had done most of her life, but this time she was running for her own sanity” (164). The image of running that McBride uses supports his understanding of his mother as someone who does not stop and consider what is happening in her life yet is able to move ahead. Movement provides the solution, although a temporary one, and preserves her sanity. Discrete moments of action preserve her sense of her own strength and offer her new alternatives for the future. Even McBride’s sentence structure in the paragraph about his mother’s running supports the effectiveness of her spurts of action without reflection. Although varying in length, each of the last seven sentences of the paragraph begins with the subject “She” and an active verb such as “rode,” “walked,” “took,” “grasp” and “ran.” The section is choppy, repetitive and yet clear, as if to reinforce Ruth’s unconscious insistence on movement as a means of coping with th.

Length: No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more); no more than 8 pages or
2800 words (whichever is less). The paper should be double spaced with 11-pt or 12-pt font and

count.
TOPIC DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of the quarter, I introduced the idea of a metaphorical “dinner party with social
theorists.” In this paper, you will demonstrate your ability to apply concepts from classical social
theory to the contemporary social world by putting several different theories into conversation
with one another. Your goal is to show how classical theory helps to explain and/or fails to
explain the origin/operation of your social problem or feature of the social world (as you
understand it). Here’s how to proceed:
1. Choose either (A) a social problem that you feel passionate about or (B) a feature of the
social world that you find fascinating. Examples of social problems could include things
like racial tracking in education or the conservative attack on labor unions; examples of
features of the social world could include behavior like internet trolling or trends in
romantic relationships among college-age people. The possibilities are quite endless. The
easiest topic to work with will be specific and narrow, and also something that you are
personally invested in (we will take Weber’s advice about value-relevance here ☺ ).
2. Analyze your topic through the lens of three different theorists that we have covered this
quarter. Most of you will find it easiest to use Marx/Weber/Durkheim, but you are
welcome to use others we have covered as well if you feel inclined to do so.
HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS BEFORE WRITING
1. Once you’ve chosen your area of focus, write down some general ideas for yourself about
how you understand it. For example, if you’ve picked the school-to-prison pipeline, you
can sketch out a general statement of what you already know about it, where you learned
what you know, and what questions you still have.
2. Pick which three theorists you are going to use.
3. From each theorist, choose three concepts, terms, or theories. Since we talked about ...

Provide the all-inclusive and systematic narratives of the impact of physical biometric operations on the current and future generation.
An Integrated Approach of Physical Biometric Authentication System
Objective
Per Fennelly (2017), every human being is created differently with physical and behavioral traits that are unique; and everyone’s fingerprints, iris, facial feature and body types are entirely different from one another. The effective and efficient use of biometric technology will play a key role in automating a new method of identifying living person based on individual physiological and behavioral characteristics. Protecting sensitive information from vulnerable access by unauthorized users is paramount in our digital world and attempting to identify and mitigating such operation is becoming very challenging and troubling to the entire human society.
Biometric authentication-based identity is playing a vital role in security operations. Traditional authentication approach used to identity logon, logout, username, passwords are no longer enough to battle the identity and security crisis. Physical Biometric processes often allow the authentication of an individual personal data to be stored in a document format for future references. The comparison is often used to determine whether the biometric characteristics of individual match the previously information recorded in the document. Physical biometric systems have proven to be very effective in verification and identification processes.
Physical biometric identification and recognition processes are classified in three groupings including acquisition, feature extraction and comparison. Traditionally, biometric characteristics are acquired through measurements, such as a camera, microphone, fingerprint scanner, gathering of specific characteristics and creation of digital representation, photograph, a voice recording and scanned fingerprint. Most naturally significant areas supporting physical biometric process include corners of the eyes, mouth, nose, chin and likely to be identified by human inspection and through an automated biometric process.
Biometric Access Control is a security system used to provides conditional access after scanning for unique physical characteristics including installing Biometric Access at ATM’s and other public facilities to safeguard financial data. Indeed, when faces, fingers, irises and veins are scanned such data are converted into digital format and a complex algorithm is used to make a match. Such physical biometric processes .
Recognizing Fallacies Constructing sound arguments requires .docx
Recognizing Fallacies
Constructing sound arguments requires valid logic and reasoning. If your premises (reasoning) are incorrect they are considered to be “fallacies”. There are several different types of fallacies that exist. Once you recognize the fallacies you are more likely to avoid them in your reasoning.
(Hint: refer to textbook Chapter 11 for more information on fallacies.)
1.
Match
each fallacy with its definition in the chart below.
A. Begging the question
G. Appeal to fear
H. Questionable cause
B. Hasty generalization
C. False dilemma
I. Two wrongs make a right
D Slippery slope J. Misidentification of the cause
E. Appeal to authority
F. Bandwagon
___
.
Also known as circular reasoning because the reasoning assumes the conclusion is true.
___
.
Sometimes occurs due to “peer pressure” or groupthink phenomenon when you may be influenced to conform to the opinion of the group.
___
.
A causal situation where we are unsure of the actual root cause of the issue. It’s possible to ignore a possible cause or to incorrectly assume a common cause.
___
.
This argument states that the action (or conclusion) is a justified response to another wrong action (or conclusion).

___
.
The argument supports its conclusion not by evidence, but by demands or threats of punishment or misfortune.
___
.
A general conclusion is reached based on a very small sample, so the reasons provide weak support for the conclusion.
Deductive Argument
In a deductive argument, the premises (reasoning) provide such strong support for the conclusion that, if the premises are true, then it would be impossible for the conclusion to be false. Deductive arguments are VALID or INVALID.
EXAMPLE:
Valid
– All children are young.
Johnny is a child.
Therefore, Johnny is young.
Invalid – All children are young.
Johnny is a child.
Therefore, all children are Johnny.

Sue is pregnant and will give birth to one child. We know already this child has no genetic anomalies. If Sue’s baby is a boy, he will be named Mark. If Sue’s baby is a girl, she will be named Margaret. Sue will have either a boy or a girl. So we know Sue’s baby will be named Mark or Margaret.

“After a year, brain scans showed that among the walkers, the hippocampus had increased in volume by about 2 percent on average; in the others, it had declined by about 1.4 percent. Since such a decline is normal in older adults, ’a 2 percent increase is fairly significant,’ said the lead author, Kirk Erickson, a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh. Both groups also improved on a test of spatial memory, but the walkers improved more. While it is hard to generalize from this study to other populations, the researchers were delighted to learn that the hippocampus might expand with exercise” (Span, 2011).

Recognition, Reification, and Practices of Forgetting:
Ethical Implications of Human Resource Management

Abstract This article examines the ethical framing of
employment in contemporary human resource management
(HRM). Using Axel Honneth’s theory of recognition and
classical critical notions of reification, I contrast recogni-
tion and reifying stances on labor. The recognition
approach embeds work in its emotive and social particu-
larity, positively affirming the basic dignity of social
actors. Reifying views, by contrast, exhibit a forgetfulness
of recognition, removing action from its existential and
social moorings, and imagining workers as bundles of
discrete resources or capacities. After discussing why
reification is a problem, I stress that recognition and reifi-
cation embody different ethical standpoints with regards to
organizational practices. Thus, I argue paradoxically that
many current HRM best practices can be maintained while
cultivating an attitude of recognition. If reification is a type
of forgetting, cultivating a recognition attitude involves
processes of ‘‘remembering’’ to foster work relations that
reinforce employee dignity.

Introduction
The rapid growth of Human Resource Management (HRM)
has involved attempts to frame HRM’s role in under-
standing the human consequences of the contemporary
world of work (Heery 2008). Such attempts have generated
discussions around the ethics of HRM (Pinnington et al.
2007), varying from principled and ‘‘purist’’ perspectives
drawn from moral theory and philosophy (Rowan 2000) to
more ‘‘user-friendly’’ approaches that mix ethical-theoret-
ical foundations and formulate managerial guidelines for
practice (Winstanley and Woodall 2000; Heery 2008).
More recent approaches to HRM have begun to emerge
from critical theory, focusing on ideological and exploit-
ative aspects of HRM, and challenging mainstream
approaches to ethics by combining a practice-based
approach with a critical lens (Greenwood 2002).
The growing importance of critical ethical approaches
brings with it an increased focus on ‘‘macro’’ critiques of
HRM (Townley 1993; Islam and Zyphur 2008), calling into
question the ethical grounding of the field in general
(Greenwood 2002). While traditional views frame human
resources as costs to be minimized or resources to be
deployed strategically, critical ethical views highlight the
potentially problematic idea of ‘‘using’’ people (Green-
wood 2002), inherent in such framings. In Simon’s (1951)
seminal work, the employee is defined as one who ‘‘permits
his behavior to be guided by a decision reached by another,
irrespective of his own judgment as to the merits of that
decision’’ (p. 21), a characte.

Recently, several flyers were found near the campus of the Universit.docx
Recently, several flyers were found near the campus of the University of Colorado Denver advertising a coming "Unite the Right" rally in downtown Denver. Organizers were in the process of filing permits to hold the rally in City Park. The mayor's office responded that the organizers' First Amendment rights would be protected but that violence and/or property destruction would not be tolerated. Recognizing that this is a delicate situation, the mayor's office has called on you to find a way to resolve this situation, and, if possible, to de-escalate tensions before the event even begins.
Your task, for this assignment, is to work in one of three teams representing three groups identified in the
Group Violence Intervention document from the National Network for Safe Communities
. The three groups are: the Law Enforcement Representatives, the Social Service Representatives, and Community Moral Voices. You must work on how best to resolve the situation described above.
Questions to answer: 3 pages
How will your group interact with the organizers and/or attendees of the event?
How will your group interact with any counter-protestors at the event?
For the above two questions, also consider any communication you might have with those groups either before or after the event.

Recently, Kathy Smith, a project manager for a large industrial cons.docx
Recently, Kathy Smith, a project manager for a large industrial construction organization, was assigned to oversee a multimillion-dollar chemical plant construction project in Southeast Asia. Kathy had earned this assignment after completing a number of smaller construction assignments in North America over the past three years. This was her first overseas assignment and she was eager to make a good impression, particularly given the size and scope of the project. Successfully completing this project would increase her visibility within the organization dramatically and earmark her as a candidate for upper management. Kathy had good project management skills; in particular, she was organized and highly self-motivated. Team members at her last two project assignments used to joke that just trying to keep up with her was a full-time job. Kathy wasted no time settling in to oversee the development of the chemical plant. Operating under her normal work approach, Kathy routinely required her staff and the senior members of the project team to work long hours, ignoring weekend breaks if important milestones were coming up, and generally adopting a round the-clock work approach for the project. Unfortunately, in expecting her team, made up of local
residents, to change their work habits to accommodate her expectations, Kathy completely misread the individuals
on her team. They bitterly resented her overbearing style, unwillingness to consult them on key
questions, and aloof nature. Rather than directly confront her, however, team members began a campaign
of passive resistance to her leadership. They would purposely drag their feet on important assignments
or cite insurmountable problems when none, in fact, existed. Kathy’s standard response was to push herself
and her project team harder, barraging subordinates with increasingly urgent communications demanding
faster performance. To her bewilderment, nothing seemed to work. The project quickly became bogged down due
to poor team performance and ended up costing the project organization large penalties for late delivery.
Although Kathy had many traits that worked in her favor, she was seriously lacking in the ability to recognize
the feelings and expectations of others and take them into consideration.
Questions
1. Discuss how Kathy lacked sufficient emotional
intelligence to be effective in her new project
manager assignment.
2. Of the various dimensions of emotional intelligence,
which dimension(s) did she appear to lack
most? What evidence can you cite to support this
contention?
This assignment involves that the student read the case study and answer all questions at the end of the case study in a
4-5 page paper
. Your answers must include substantial support from at least two (2) scholarly journal articles on project management.
Should be written in should be in APA formatting (title page, reference page, NO abstract page, in-text citations, running head, page numbers, Ti.

Recently, I built a floating bed frame for my room. I watched a qu.docx
Recently, I built a "floating" bed frame for my room. I watched a quick YouTube video and jotted down the dimensions of the bed, the materials I needed, and a mini blue print for how it was going to end up. My notes allowed for me to get everything I needed in one shot at the hardware store and instead of referring back to the video I could just look at my notes. While assembling, I was able to remind myself how certain things went together by looking at my notes allowing for me to complete the bed frame quickly and in an enjoyable way.
While looking at the rubric, I found that the 4 points on the project addressing the course outcomes is most important. it allows for me to understand the main points of the projects before doing it. Also, I believe these will be helpful notes when doing the project to keep me on track of the topic.
Actively listening is something that will be critical while pursuing a business administration degree. It is something that I struggle with and need to work on. I am a visual learner by all means and have trouble actually listening to people when they talk. In the business world, being able to converse and hear others ideas and thoughts is paramount.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the language acquisition approaches whose conceptions of language acquisitions are transferred to
learning environments through adjustments made on the basis of application methods. The paper also discussed their similarities and differ-
ences. Different approaches to language acquisition in various disciplines, different views, and perceptions of it have been developed. There are
some approaches completely distinct from others, while there are some others affected by different perspectives. In addition to the language
acquisition approaches mentioned above, the paper delineated what literacy skills are and what kind of hierarchical order is followed by the
development of these skills. The study, on one hand, deliberated children’s innate abilities and their acquired skills. by examining the reading
and writing methods and from which approach they have been affected. The study, on the other hand, summarized the views of Vygotsky,
whose contributions to learning in general and language acquisition in particular are better understood today. In brief, this paper discusses and
explains the language acquisition approaches and the development process of children’s literacy skills.

Introduction
Literacy skills are of vital importance for all people and en-
able children to get to know the life and interact with their
environment and other people, leading the way to a success-

First-grade students attending elementary school which is
the beginning of a tiring process for both teachers and stu-
dents, are equipped with the speaking skill that is the most
natural communication tool in a language. The hearing and
speaking skills, which are essential for teaching, are two basic
elements of basic language skills and they have an important
role in the acquisition of two other basic skills of reading and
writing. How to inculcate literacy skills in children and what
methods and techniques should be applied have been tried

Abstract
Resume screening is the first hurdle applicants typically face
when they apply for a job. Despite the many empirical
studies showing bias at the resume‐screening stage, fairness
at this funnelling stage has not been reviewed systematically.
In this paper, a three‐stage model of biased resume screening
is presented. We first discuss relevant theoretical perspec-
tives (e.g., job market signalling and impression formation
theories) to explain why resume screening is vulnerable to
biased decision‐making and ethnic discrimination in particu-
lar. On the basis of the best available evidence, we consider
contingencies of ethnic discrimination in the applicant, the
decision‐maker, and the broader context (e.g., organisation),
as well as the effectiveness of interventions that might
counter ethnic bias in resume screening. The paper ends with
a critical agenda for further research and practice.

1 | INTRODUCTION
Despite decades of legislation and HR professionals' commitment to equal opportunities, ethnic minority members
still suffer a weaker labour market position compared with equally qualified majorities (Shen, Chanda, D'Netto, &
Monga, 2009). Human capital factors may explain some of the differences in hiring outcomes, but discrimination
has also been put forward as a possible explanation (Derous & Ryan, 2018; Hoque & Noon, 1999). Ethnic minorities,
for instance, still need to complete 50% more applications to get invited for a job interview when compared with
equally qualified ethnic majorities (Zschirnt & Ruedin, 2016).

Recall that the goal of the Kyoto Protocol was to cut developed co.docx
Recall that the goal of the Kyoto Protocol was to cut developed countries’ carbon dioxide emission to about 5% to 7% below 1990 levels by 2012. This was a crucial first goal, but the IPCC is calling for carbon dioxide emissions in 2050 to be 60%less than the carbon dioxide emission in 1990.
Many countries were previously condemning the United States because the Bush administration and Congress refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. Although the U.S. population in 2010 was only 5% of the world population, 18% of world carbon dioxide emissions that year was produced by the United States (see Table 3). The Obama administration has taken a very different path, assumed responsibility, and took numerous actions that led to a significant decrease of the CO2 emission in the US. This course again changed dramatically by the Trump administration.
Critics of the Kyoto Protocol say that a fairer pact would be for all countries to commit to the same level of carbon dioxide emission per person. Recommendations are by 0.9 metric ton per person in 2050. Average annual carbon dioxide emission in 2010 for developing countries was 2.7 metric ton per person, which is 3 times the IPCC’s recommendation. However, the average annual carbon dioxide emission for developed countries was 10.2 metric tons per person, for US 18 (!) metric tons per person, far above IPCC’s recommendation (see Table 4). GNP, the gross national product, is a measure of a country’s economic strength.
With annual carbon dioxide emissions of 18.1 metric tons per person in 2010, the United States would have to reduce emissions by 95% to meet the standard of 0.9 metric ton per person. This means that Americans would be allowed to emit only 5% of the carbon dioxide that they are currently emitting. Imagine driving your car, heating and cooling your home, using your appliances, using your computer, using your lights, and watching TV only 5% (one-twentieth) of the time that you currently do.
Table 3 Table 4
United States and World Population GNP Ranks and Per-Person Carbon Dioxide Emissions
In the strongest action ever taken in the United States to combat climate change, in August 2015 President Obama unveiled a set of environmental actions devised to sharply cut planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from the nation’s power plants and ultimately transform America’s electricity industry. These new rules alone will not be enough to shave off that future described above. But experts say that if the rules are combined with similar action from the world’s other major economies, as well as additional action by the future administrations, emissions could level off enough to prevent the worst effects of climate change.
The main argument against stronger actions was that the economy would suffer. Many arguments however show that it is possible for emissions to be significantly reduced without harming a country’s economy. Switzerland, Denmark, J.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Recall from the chapter on the central nervous system (CNS) that.docx
- 1. Recall from the chapter on the central nervous system (CNS) that the general senses detect such stimuli as touch, pain, and temperature. General senses refer to the fact that these receptors are relatively simple and located throughout the body in both the skin and internal organs. The special senses, in contrast, are so named because they convey a specific type of information from specialized sensory organs in discrete locations of the head. For this assignment you will; Imagine you are driving or biking on a high-traffic road and you are approaching an intersection with a four-way stop and railroad train track. Additionally, there are three cars in the other lanes of the intersection and visibility is decreased because of foggy weather conditions. Describe what special senses you will use to make the determination to safely proceed into the intersection. Then, in a detailed summary, explain the pathways for each of the special senses involved. Describe the pathways for the special senses not involved in this case and explain why they are not used. Describe how the brain interprets information from each of those special senses. Describe how the brain sends messages to the body to react to information from these special senses.
- 2. This PowerPoint® (Microsoft Office) or Impress® (Open Office) presentation should be a minimum of 20 slides, including a title and reference slide, recorded audio and be sure to include a reference slide. You will describe what special senses you will use to make the determination to safely proceed into the intersection. Your submission should include a minimum of 5 peer-reviewed sources to support any of your perspective. Please review the module’s Signature Assignment Rubric before starting this assignment to ensure that you are meeting all the essential requirements. This presentation is worth 300 points for quality content and presentation.
