The Bible says that iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another.docx
The Bible says that iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another. This passage speaks to the design God has for relationships here on earth. Specifically, the journey to achieve a doctoral degree should not be conducted alone (Lehna, Hermanns, Monsivias, & Engebretson, 2016). Doctoral work stretches learning and experiences to their breaking point. The break is intended for the boxes and walls built in the current knowledge and beliefs one holds to give way to new ideas and expressions. These ideas and expressions aid in new solutions, or reframing established solutions for modern audiences to complex social problems. As such, the journey to dive deep into a field requiring command and application of the vast knowledge contained will need partnerships such as mentors (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017).
Finding a mentor and having a solid match
Empirical studies conclude mentor relationships improve a student’s ability to learn and retain knowledge and skill in many environments (Asgari & Carter, 2016). Mentor/mentee studies of minority scholars find increases in academic and career-related achievements for more than 97% of participants. These participants moved two letter grades and increased career positions over those without mentor relationships (Ooms, Werker, & Hopp, 2018; Witrrup, Hussain, Albright, Hurd, Varner, & Mattis, 2016).
The critical characteristic of successful mentor/mentee relationships is correlated to the compatibility of the pair or group (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017; Witrrup, Hussain, Albright, Hurd, Varner, & Mattis, 2016). The focus of study and career should be considered as a parallel point in a choice of mentor. Mentee's would lose time, trust, and loyalty to their mentor if they chose someone that does not have a specific strength in the field of focus. Nurses experience higher rates of job satisfaction based on matching higher skilled nurses with novice staff (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017).
It appears an application of iron sharpening iron can be applied from what the above empirical data shows. The Bible does not say that iron sharpens copper. As such, experienced and knowledgeable nurses will hone novice nurses. Leaders with more years and experiences will instill the organizational knowledge to mentees. Iron is compatible with iron. Strategic leader students should then find mentors that are established and knowledgeable leaders to learn from.
The right mentor
In social work practices, it is necessary to find a mentor that has an expanse of knowledge and experience. This need for relevant education and experience is especially real in child/adult protection leadership. It is ever changing and evolving. A mentor that has twenty to thirty years of experience is difficult to find in North Carolina. I am blessed to have a mentor with more than th.
The best evidence of the first deliberate human burial dates back al.docx
The best evidence of the first deliberate human burial dates back almost 100,000 years, and the idea of ancestor veneration has persisted for millennia. The way that a living community responds to death reveals much about their sense of identity and particularly the group’s religious and spiritual traditions. Choose a culture/region from the list below and include in your paper responses to both of the following questions:
Mesopotamians keeping ancestral skulls on display in the home
Indians burning the funeral pyre on the River Ganges
Asians modifying the bones of the dead during “secondary burials”
Romans arranging the deceased in visible underground catacombs
Medieval Eastern Europeans preventing vampires or other revenants
How do burial rituals build identity and strengthen the sense of community for the living?
What factors have shaped these customs and values—religious, political, geographical, etc.?
Fully develop your findings in a 2-3 page paper, and be sure to format your paper and cite your research sources as per APA guidelines.

The Beyond Madness webring consists of many internet sites concernin.docx
The Beyond Madness webring consists of many internet sites concerning mental disorders. Go to http://www.webring.org/hub?ring=bmadness to look at a list of those sites. (Copy and paste the address).
Find a site in which a person gives a personal account of what it is like to have a mental disorder (choose one of the disorders described in the book) and go to that site. MAKE SURE THAT IT IS A NEW SITE, SOMETHING NO ONE HAS ALREADY CHOSEN. Read that person's description of his or her experience and answer the following questions:
1. Tell us what you know about the person and what disorder is portrayed. REMEMBER TO CHOOSE A NEW SITE, SOMETHING NO ONE ELSE HAS CHOSEN ALREADY. What difficulties does that person have to cope with that most people do not? What has it been like for that person to cope with mental disorder?
(3 points)
2. Does that person's self-description fit with the description provided in the textbook? Why or why not? Be specific, detailed and GIVE PAGE NUMBER REFERENCES.
(3 points)
3. What is your reaction to that person's story? What do you think it is like to be that person?

I chose to discuss Justin Timberlake who in 2008 admitted that he had ocd and add. I am not a huge fan of his but I appreciate that he suffers from 2 illnesses. As I have depression and add it's interesting to me how they interact. In regards to Justin I located statements he had made on

and

. I wanted to use more than one site to highlight how his symptoms affected him. When I went to the Beyond Madness site and looked at OCD I was surprised at how many people were suspected of having OCD like Charles Darwin and Ludwig Van Beethoven. When you think of the systematic way in which Darwin organized his notes for the
Origin of Species
one can see that the skills needed for such specific a book would require a person who would be able to give a systematic outline for what they were observing. What I knew about Justin Timberlake prior to this assignment was limited to his work as a performer. He says that his OCD affects many parts of his daily life. OCD is made up of compulsions and obsessions. Both need not be present for a diagnosis to be reached. A person can have obsessions without compulsions. His obsessions include that everything around him be lined up. He also can only have specific foods in his fridge and of course, they must be in a specific place. This did cause problems with his girlfriend Jessica Alba when she moved in and had to work with Justin on this issue. Justin cites that he loves to perform and that in spite of his OCD and ADD he is still able to perform. There is something very stimulating about being on stage so that stimulation may be the boost he needs.It's helpful for persons with ADD not to be distracted by details but rather able to concentrate on their own activities. Justin's description does mirror muc.

serve to reinforce a view that such ethical codes are all that are necessary to protect vulnerable research participants. However, these codes also require thoughtful moral interpretation. In the context of time (1932) and place (Macon County, Alabama), do you believe that moral interpretation of the ethical principles of both of these documents would have influenced Nurse Rivers’ role in the Tuskegee

You know that the Desert Fathers and Mothers have been around since the 200’s…
… so the idea of Christian men and women living in prayer and solitude is already centuries old
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
A monk named Pachomius is credited with the idea of those Desert Hermits…
…forming into groups and living in community.
So by the time of St Benedict, the idea was a familiar one.
Benedict really made it work, though. He had a lot of common sense, so his ideas about how to live in communities lasted!

His first abbey was founded in Italy in 529.
By 708, there were also Benedictine monasteries in France!

One of the main “purposes” or “gifts” or “charisms” of the Benedictine Monastery was HOSPITALITY.
Sometimes Benedictine monasteries even served as hospitals or medical centers (“such as they were”) in medieval times.
Imagine wandering on foot, cold and hungry, and exhausted, with no Motels in existence…and then seeing ahead of you..
…all lit up of course with candles and fire-places, instead of gas….

What a comfort that would be!
They would take you in…and you could spend the night (HOSPITALITY) and feed you…
..and they had herbs and salves to give you, if you were feeling ill or had blisters.

In the 900’’s, another French abbey, at Cluny, was founded.
In the 1100’s, it was consecrated by the Pope and had become very powerful.

The below need to be critiqued:
The Southeast Planning Group (SPG) is an organization that was created in 2000 to facilitate the Office of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Continuum of Care planning process (Laufer, 2011). The change that took place was Stakeholders were split in their views of the changes—some agreed that they were necessary in order to advance the goals of the organization, while others felt the new leadership was “taking over” with a hidden agenda to promote its own self-interest (Laufer, 2011). It seemed at first the Southeast Planning group was effective at the beginning. What lacked was the lack of confidence in growing the organization. A strategy that might improve the organizational climate return the organization to optimal functioning is for the director to have more confidence in the program. In addition having a leadership style that is more open to change and be able to communicate without feeling afraid of what is to come next. A leader must also pay attention to recruiting and retaining employees (Northouse,2021).

THE BELMONT REPORT
Office of the Secretary
Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human
Subjects of Research
The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of
Biomedical and Behavioral Research
April 18, 1979
AGENCY: Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
ACTION: Notice of Report for Public Comment.
SUMMARY: On July 12, 1974, the National Research Act (Pub. L. 93-348) was signed into law, there-by creating the
National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. One of the
charges to the Commission was to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical
and behavioral research involving human subjects and to develop guidelines which should be followed to assure that
such research is conducted in accordance with those principles. In carrying out the above, the Commission was
directed to consider: (i) the boundaries between biomedical and behavioral research and the accepted and routine
practice of medicine, (ii) the role of assessment of risk-benefit criteria in the determination of the appropriateness of
research involving human subjects, (iii) appropriate guidelines for the selection of human subjects for participation in
such research and (iv) the nature and definition of informed consent in various research settings.
The Belmont Report attempts to summarize the basic ethical principles identified by the Commission in the course of
its deliberations. It is the outgrowth of an intensive four-day period of discussions that were held in February 1976 at
the Smithsonian Institution's Belmont Conference Center supplemented by the monthly deliberations of the
Commission that were held over a period of nearly four years. It is a statement of basic ethical principles and
guidelines that should assist in resolving the ethical problems that surround the conduct of research with human
subjects. By publishing the Report in the Federal Register, and providing reprints upon request, the Secretary intends
that it may be made readily available to scientists, members of Institutional Review Boards, and Federal employees.
The two-volume Appendix, containing the lengthy reports of experts and specialists who assisted the Commission in
fulfilling this part of its charge, is available as DHEW Publication No. (OS) 78-0013 and No. (OS) 78-0014, for sale by
the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Unlike most other reports of the Commission, the Belmont Report does not make specific recommendations for
administrative action by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Rather, the Commission recommended that
the Belmont Report be adopted in its entirety, as a statement of the Department's policy. The Department requests
public comment on this recommendation.

The Benefits and Risks of Using Skype at Darcy’s .docx
The Benefits and Risks of
Using Skype at Darcy’s:
A Short Report
September 20, 2013
Prepared for:
Darcy’s Department Store
Prepared by:

2
Background
The East Coast buyers for Darcy’s Department Store are looking for an economical and
efficient way to share information about the deals buyers are getting from various
suppliers and use real-time transmission of that information between one another to
help save money.
There are a number of tools to do this, but Skype has been mentioned as a leading
contender. Skype claims to be an easy to use, online tool that allows users to connect
with any other Skype user around the world for free. A user can make video and voice
calls to other Skype users at no charge. Users can even share files among themselves,
which provides a great asset during a business meeting. However, when there are group
video calls, then Skype begins to charge a fee.
Also, for buyers throughout the East Coast, this tool can be useful if they need to talk
with one another. However, for meetings that require more than two attendees, Skype
is not a useful tool and is not intended to work that way for business.
Benefits
Among the most attractive benefits of Skype is that it is free and you can see the person
you are talking with. To purchase a software license for 20 buyers that is compatible to
what Skype can do will cost Darcy’s roughly $1,500 per month. There are no hidden
charges with Skype. According to Skype’s web page, users get video and voice calls to
other Skype users and “instant messaging and file sharing” all at no charge.
The video sharing feature of Skype will allow the buyers to see products in real time.
For example, if two buyers are looking at similar merchandise from two different
suppliers who are offering different pricing, then they can quickly Skype one another
and compare the product to see if it is the same and to then get the best pricing for it.
Two business writers for the Auburn Citizen in NY, state that there are business users
“who can save time and money in scheduling and holding conferences or training
sessions, demonstrate products or services for potential customers, and extend
customer service by showing customers how to get the most from your product” (Leon
and Leon).
Downsides
Despite the benefits mentioned above, there are clear downsides to this product. I
tested Skype over a one-week period by calling various Skype users throughout the East
Coast and tried to simulate a conversation that a buyer might have.
First, using Skype takes getting used to. During my five-day test, I never mastered the
connection stage. This is when one Skype user “calls” another Skype user. Skype makes

a distinctive sound that lets the user know it is making a call. However, once you
connect to whom you are calling, the picture shows, but it takes abo.

The Process of Infection
Disease-causing agents called pathogens are found in air and food and on nearly every object or person.
An epidemic is a disease outbreak that affects many people in a community or region at the same time.
A pandemic is a global epidemic of a disease.
When a pathogen is virulent, it is strong enough to overcome host resistance and cause disease.
One becomes immunocompromised when the immune system is impaired.

2
Routes of Transmission
Direct contact: kissing or touching an infected person
Indirect contact: touching something that the infected person has touched
You may also autoinoculate yourself by transmitting a pathogen from one part of your body to another.
Animal-borne (zoonotic) infections are spread by domestic and wild animals.
Interspecies transmission is rare but does occur.

Habit versus Addiction
Addiction involves elements of habit – which is a repeated behavior in which the repetition may be unconscious.
A habit can be broken.
Addiction involves repetition of a behavior that occurs with compulsion, and considerable discomfort occurs if the behavior is not performed.

Addiction Affects Family and Friends
Codependence: a condition in which a person is controlled by an addict's addictive behavior
Defined by lack of ability to set boundaries
Living in a chaotic, crisis-oriented mode
Assuming responsibility for meeting others' needs to the point of subordinating own needs or even being unaware of personal needs
Enablers: people who knowingly or unknowingly protect addicts from the consequences of their behavior

THE BATHTUB PERIOD The award of the Scott contract on January 3, 1.docx
THE BATHTUB PERIOD The award of the Scott contract on January 3, 1987, left Park Industries elated. The Scott Project, if managed correctly, offered tremendous opportunities for follow-on work over the next several years. Park’s management considered the Scott Project as strategic in nature. The Scott Project was a ten-month endeavor to develop a new product for Scott Corporation. Scott informed Park Industries that sole-source production contracts would follow, for at least five years, assuming that the initial R&D effort proved satisfactory. All followon contracts were to be negotiated on a year-to-year basis. Jerry Dunlap was selected as project manager. Although he was young and eager, he understood the importance of the effort for future growth of the company. Dunlap was given some of the best employees to fill out his project office as part of Park’s matrix organization. The Scott Project maintained a project office of seven full-time people, including Dunlap, throughout the duration of the project. In addition, eight people from the functional department were selected for representation as functional project team members, four full-time and four half-time. Although the workload fluctuated, the manpower level for the project office and team members was constant for the duration of the project at 2,080 hours per month. The company assumed that each hour worked incurred a cost of $60.00 per person, fully burdened. At the end of June, with four months remaining on the project, Scott Corporation informed Park Industries that, owing to a projected cash flow problem, follow-on work would not be awarded until the first week in March (1988). This posed a tremendous problem for Jerry Dunlap because he did not wish to break up the project office. If he permitted his key people to be assigned to other projects, there would be no guarantee that he could get them Figure P15-31C TIME CUMULATIVE COSTS, $ TIME LINE BCWS BCWP CASE STUDIES c15.qxd 1/21/09 7:24 PM Page 708 Case Studies 709 back at the beginning of the follow-on work. Good project office personnel are always in demand. Jerry estimated that he needed $40,000 per month during the “bathtub” period to support and maintain his key people. Fortunately, the bathtub period fell over Christmas and New Year’s, a time when the plant would be shut down for seventeen days. Between the vacation days that his key employees would be taking, and the small special projects that his people could be temporarily assigned to on other programs, Jerry revised his estimate to $125,000 for the entire bathtub period. At the weekly team meeting, Jerry told the program team members that they would have to “tighten their belts” in order to establish a management reserve of $125,000. The project team understood the necessity for this action and began rescheduling and replanning until a management reserve of this size could be realized. Because the contract was firm-fixed-price, all schedules for administrative support (.

Tutorial
Stimulus Control: Part II
James A. Dinsmoor
Indiana University
The second part of my tutorial stresses the systematic importance of two parameters of discrimi-
nation training: (a) the magnitude of the physical difference between the positive and the negative
stimulus (disparity) and (b) the magnitude of the difference between the positive stimulus, in par-
ticular, and the background stimulation (salience). It then examines the role these variables play in
such complex phenomena as blocking and overshadowing, progressive discrimination training, and
the transfer of control by fading. It concludes by considering concept formation and imitation, which
are important forms of application, and recent work on equivalence relations.
Key words: stimulus control, disparity, salience, blocking, overshadowing, transfer, fading, con-
cept formation, imitation, equivalence relations
The first part of this tutorial dealt
with the basic principles that account
for the acquisition of stimulus control
under what is conventionally known as
discrimination training. Among the sa-
lient points that were raised were sug-
gestions that (a) control by antecedent
stimuli is just as important in operant
as it is in respondent behavior; (b) Pav-
lov's conditional stimulus is a discrim-
inative stimulus; (c) stimulus general-
ization is not a behavioral process in-
dependent of and antagonistic to dis-
crimination but is simply another way
of describing control by antecedent
stimuli; and (d) the increases in control
that occur during discrimination train-
ing can be attributed to more frequent
and more prolonged observation of the
relevant stimuli accompanied, it is pre-
sumed, by concomitant changes in at-
tention.
Note that in conventional discrimi-
nation training, the subject is exposed
to repeated alternations between the
positive stimulus (S+), which is ac-
companied by a schedule of reinforce-
ment, and an alternative stimulus (S-),
which is not accompanied by rein-
forcement. This alternation establishes

moor, Department of Psychology, Indiana Uni-
versity, Bloomington, Indiana 47405.
a positive correlation between the S+
and the primary reinforcer that selects
the one relevant stimulus out of the
many that impinge upon the organism
and transforms it into a conditioned re-
inforcer of observing behavior. Note
also that if the subject is exposed ex-
clusively to S+ training or to a single
period of S+ training followed by a
single period of S - training rather than
to a continued alternation, control is
less adequate (Honig, Thomas, & Gutt-
man, 1959; Yarczower & Switalski,
1969). Similarly, in a compound dis-
crimination like that studied by Blough
(1969), if one dimension is left contin-
uously at its positive value for a num-
ber of sessions, control by that dimen-
sion is reduced and control by the other
dimension enhanced; when the proce-

The beginning of chapter 3 has two pictures of galaxies. The study of the universe has been on-going for decades. One organization involved with this is the SETI Institute. You may remember this from the movie Contact. One area of their research is with exoplanets. Until 1995, other solar systems with planets like ours was a simple conjecture. Now, this is a very exciting field of study. To do this, the scientist gather immense amounts of data from the telescopes. For their research, the goal is to find a planet which could, in theory, support human life. In this endeavor, the scientists would not be as interested in a gas giant, e.g. Saturn or Jupiter.
If you were creating a decision tree based on the telescope observations, please describe what the root node would be, possible internal nodes, and leaf terminal nodes

The
Belmont Report (1979)
and the
Declaration of Helsinki (1964)
serve to reinforce a view that such ethical codes are all that are necessary to protect vulnerable research participants. However, these codes also require thoughtful moral interpretation. In the context of time (1932) and place (Macon County, Alabama), do you believe that moral interpretation of the ethical principles of both of these documents would have influenced Nurse Rivers’ role in the Tuskegee

your
interpretation of the ethical principles from these documents to research involving human subjects anywhere. What might

THE BENEDICTINES
Benedictine order: intro
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
About 70 years after the fall of Rome, one finds Benedict of Nursia .
He was born around 480 ce and died about 547.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
You know that the Desert Fathers and Mothers have been around since the 200’s…
… so the idea of Christian men and women living in prayer and solitude is already centuries old
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
A monk named Pachomius is credited with the idea of those Desert Hermits…
…forming into groups and living in community.
So by the time of St Benedict, the idea was a familiar one.
Benedict really made it work, though. He had a lot of common sense, so his ideas about how to live in communities lasted!
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
His first abbey was founded in Italy in 529.
By 708, there were also Benedictine monasteries in France!
The following slide shows the monastery of Mont Saint Michel.

A) The Benedictines: INTRO
One of the main “purposes” or “gifts” or “charisms” of the Benedictine Monastery was HOSPITALITY.
Sometimes Benedictine monasteries even served as hospitals or medical centers (“such as they were”) in medieval times.
Imagine wandering on foot, cold and hungry, and exhausted, with no Motels in existence…and then seeing ahead of you..
…all lit up of course with candles and fire-places, instead of gas….
Mont Saint Michel at night from land bridge; 20 09 2006 Benh LIEU SONG Wikipedia
What a comfort that would be!
They would take you in…and you could spend the night (HOSPITALITY) and feed you…
..and they had herbs and salves to give you, if you were feeling ill or had blisters.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
In the 900’’s, another French abbey, at Cluny, was founded.
In the 1100’s, it was consecrated by the Pope and had become very powerful.

The below need to be critiqued:
The Southeast Planning Group (SPG) is an organization that was created in 2000 to facilitate the Office of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Continuum of Care planning process (Laufer, 2011). The change that took place was Stakeholders were split in their views of the changes—some agreed that they were necessary in order to advance the goals of the organization, while others felt the new leadership was “taking over” with a hidden agenda to promote its own self-interest (Laufer, 2011). It seemed at first the Southeast Planning group was effective at the beginning. What lacked was the lack of confidence in growing the organization. A strategy that might improve the organizational climate return the organization to optimal functioning is for the director to have more confidence in the program. In addition having a leadership style that is more open to change and be able to communicate without feeling afraid of what is to come next. A leader must also pay attention to recruiting and retaining employees (Northouse,2021).

THE BELMONT REPORT
Office of the Secretary
Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human
Subjects of Research
The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of
Biomedical and Behavioral Research
April 18, 1979
AGENCY: Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
ACTION: Notice of Report for Public Comment.
SUMMARY: On July 12, 1974, the National Research Act (Pub. L. 93-348) was signed into law, there-by creating the
National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. One of the
charges to the Commission was to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical
and behavioral research involving human subjects and to develop guidelines which should be followed to assure that
such research is conducted in accordance with those principles. In carrying out the above, the Commission was
directed to consider: (i) the boundaries between biomedical and behavioral research and the accepted and routine
practice of medicine, (ii) the role of assessment of risk-benefit criteria in the determination of the appropriateness of
research involving human subjects, (iii) appropriate guidelines for the selection of human subjects for participation in
such research and (iv) the nature and definition of informed consent in various research settings.
The Belmont Report attempts to summarize the basic ethical principles identified by the Commission in the course of
its deliberations. It is the outgrowth of an intensive four-day period of discussions that were held in February 1976 at
the Smithsonian Institution's Belmont Conference Center supplemented by the monthly deliberations of the
Commission that were held over a period of nearly four years. It is a statement of basic ethical principles and
guidelines that should assist in resolving the ethical problems that surround the conduct of research with human
subjects. By publishing the Report in the Federal Register, and providing reprints upon request, the Secretary intends
that it may be made readily available to scientists, members of Institutional Review Boards, and Federal employees.
The two-volume Appendix, containing the lengthy reports of experts and specialists who assisted the Commission in
fulfilling this part of its charge, is available as DHEW Publication No. (OS) 78-0013 and No. (OS) 78-0014, for sale by
the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Unlike most other reports of the Commission, the Belmont Report does not make specific recommendations for
administrative action by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Rather, the Commission recommended that
the Belmont Report be adopted in its entirety, as a statement of the Department's policy. The Department requests
public comment on this recommendation.

The Benefits and Risks of Using Skype at Darcy’s .docx
The Benefits and Risks of
Using Skype at Darcy’s:
A Short Report
September 20, 2013
Prepared for:
Darcy’s Department Store
Prepared by:
Student Name
BUS105
2
Background
The East Coast buyers for Darcy’s Department Store are looking for an economical and
efficient way to share information about the deals buyers are getting from various
suppliers and use real-time transmission of that information between one another to
help save money.
There are a number of tools to do this, but Skype has been mentioned as a leading
contender. Skype claims to be an easy to use, online tool that allows users to connect
with any other Skype user around the world for free. A user can make video and voice
calls to other Skype users at no charge. Users can even share files among themselves,
which provides a great asset during a business meeting. However, when there are group
video calls, then Skype begins to charge a fee.
Also, for buyers throughout the East Coast, this tool can be useful if they need to talk
with one another. However, for meetings that require more than two attendees, Skype
is not a useful tool and is not intended to work that way for business.
Benefits
Among the most attractive benefits of Skype is that it is free and you can see the person
you are talking with. To purchase a software license for 20 buyers that is compatible to
what Skype can do will cost Darcy’s roughly $1,500 per month. There are no hidden
charges with Skype. According to Skype’s web page, users get video and voice calls to
other Skype users and “instant messaging and file sharing” all at no charge.
The video sharing feature of Skype will allow the buyers to see products in real time.
For example, if two buyers are looking at similar merchandise from two different
suppliers who are offering different pricing, then they can quickly Skype one another
and compare the product to see if it is the same and to then get the best pricing for it.
Two business writers for the Auburn Citizen in NY, state that there are business users
“who can save time and money in scheduling and holding conferences or training
sessions, demonstrate products or services for potential customers, and extend
customer service by showing customers how to get the most from your product” (Leon
and Leon).
Downsides
Despite the benefits mentioned above, there are clear downsides to this product. I
tested Skype over a one-week period by calling various Skype users throughout the East
Coast and tried to simulate a conversation that a buyer might have.
First, using Skype takes getting used to. During my five-day test, I never mastered the
connection stage. This is when one Skype user “calls” another Skype user. Skype makes
3
a distinctive sound that lets the user know it is making a call. However, once you
connect to whom you are calling, the picture shows, but it takes abo.

The Process of Infection
Disease-causing agents called pathogens are found in air and food and on nearly every object or person.
An epidemic is a disease outbreak that affects many people in a community or region at the same time.
A pandemic is a global epidemic of a disease.
When a pathogen is virulent, it is strong enough to overcome host resistance and cause disease.
One becomes immunocompromised when the immune system is impaired.

Routes of Transmission
Direct contact: kissing or touching an infected person
Indirect contact: touching something that the infected person has touched
You may also autoinoculate yourself by transmitting a pathogen from one part of your body to another.
Animal-borne (zoonotic) infections are spread by domestic and wild animals.
Interspecies transmission is rare but does occur.

THE BATHTUB PERIOD The award of the Scott contract on January 3, 1.docx
THE BATHTUB PERIOD The award of the Scott contract on January 3, 1987, left Park Industries elated. The Scott Project, if managed correctly, offered tremendous opportunities for follow-on work over the next several years. Park’s management considered the Scott Project as strategic in nature. The Scott Project was a ten-month endeavor to develop a new product for Scott Corporation. Scott informed Park Industries that sole-source production contracts would follow, for at least five years, assuming that the initial R&D effort proved satisfactory. All followon contracts were to be negotiated on a year-to-year basis. Jerry Dunlap was selected as project manager. Although he was young and eager, he understood the importance of the effort for future growth of the company. Dunlap was given some of the best employees to fill out his project office as part of Park’s matrix organization. The Scott Project maintained a project office of seven full-time people, including Dunlap, throughout the duration of the project. In addition, eight people from the functional department were selected for representation as functional project team members, four full-time and four half-time. Although the workload fluctuated, the manpower level for the project office and team members was constant for the duration of the project at 2,080 hours per month. The company assumed that each hour worked incurred a cost of $60.00 per person, fully burdened. At the end of June, with four months remaining on the project, Scott Corporation informed Park Industries that, owing to a projected cash flow problem, follow-on work would not be awarded until the first week in March (1988). This posed a tremendous problem for Jerry Dunlap because he did not wish to break up the project office. If he permitted his key people to be assigned to other projects, there would be no guarantee that he could get them Figure P15-31C TIME CUMULATIVE COSTS, $ TIME LINE BCWS BCWP CASE STUDIES c15.qxd 1/21/09 7:24 PM Page 708 Case Studies 709 back at the beginning of the follow-on work. Good project office personnel are always in demand. Jerry estimated that he needed $40,000 per month during the “bathtub” period to support and maintain his key people. Fortunately, the bathtub period fell over Christmas and New Year’s, a time when the plant would be shut down for seventeen days. Between the vacation days that his key employees would be taking, and the small special projects that his people could be temporarily assigned to on other programs, Jerry revised his estimate to $125,000 for the entire bathtub period. At the weekly team meeting, Jerry told the program team members that they would have to “tighten their belts” in order to establish a management reserve of $125,000. The project team understood the necessity for this action and began rescheduling and replanning until a management reserve of this size could be realized. Because the contract was firm-fixed-price, all schedules for administrative support (.

Stimulus Control: Part II
James A. Dinsmoor
Indiana University
The second part of my tutorial stresses the systematic importance of two parameters of discrimi-
nation training: (a) the magnitude of the physical difference between the positive and the negative
stimulus (disparity) and (b) the magnitude of the difference between the positive stimulus, in par-
ticular, and the background stimulation (salience). It then examines the role these variables play in
such complex phenomena as blocking and overshadowing, progressive discrimination training, and
the transfer of control by fading. It concludes by considering concept formation and imitation, which
are important forms of application, and recent work on equivalence relations.
Key words: stimulus control, disparity, salience, blocking, overshadowing, transfer, fading, con-
cept formation, imitation, equivalence relations
The first part of this tutorial dealt
with the basic principles that account
for the acquisition of stimulus control
under what is conventionally known as
discrimination training. Among the sa-
lient points that were raised were sug-
gestions that (a) control by antecedent
stimuli is just as important in operant
as it is in respondent behavior; (b) Pav-
lov's conditional stimulus is a discrim-
inative stimulus; (c) stimulus general-
ization is not a behavioral process in-
dependent of and antagonistic to dis-
crimination but is simply another way
of describing control by antecedent
stimuli; and (d) the increases in control
that occur during discrimination train-
ing can be attributed to more frequent
and more prolonged observation of the
relevant stimuli accompanied, it is pre-
sumed, by concomitant changes in at-
tention.
Note that in conventional discrimi-
nation training, the subject is exposed
to repeated alternations between the
positive stimulus (S+), which is ac-
companied by a schedule of reinforce-
ment, and an alternative stimulus (S-),
which is not accompanied by rein-
forcement. This alternation establishes

the one relevant stimulus out of the
many that impinge upon the organism
and transforms it into a conditioned re-
inforcer of observing behavior. Note
also that if the subject is exposed ex-
clusively to S+ training or to a single
period of S+ training followed by a
single period of S - training rather than
to a continued alternation, control is
less adequate (Honig, Thomas, & Gutt-
man, 1959; Yarczower & Switalski,
1969). Similarly, in a compound dis-
crimination like that studied by Blough
(1969), if one dimension is left contin-
uously at its positive value for a num-
ber of sessions, control by that dimen-
sion is reduced and control by the other

The beginning of chapter 3 has two pictures of galaxies. The stu.docx
The beginning of chapter 3 has two pictures of galaxies. The study of the universe has been on-going for decades. One organization involved with this is the SETI Institute. You may remember this from the movie Contact. One area of their research is with exoplanets. Until 1995, other solar systems with planets like ours was a simple conjecture. Now, this is a very exciting field of study. To do this, the scientist gather immense amounts of data from the telescopes. For their research, the goal is to find a planet which could, in theory, support human life. In this endeavor, the scientists would not be as interested in a gas giant, e.g. Saturn or Jupiter.
If you were creating a decision tree based on the telescope observations, please describe what the root node would be, possible internal nodes, and leaf terminal nodes

The basic components of a grant proposal have been discussed. Although each individual call for funding may have different requirements - there are sections commonly required in every grant proposal. The sections of a proposal can be thought of as providing answers to a series of critical questions. The different sections cannot be developed in isolation but need to be internally consistent with each other and presented as a cohesive document. Please discuss the steps you feel you will need to take to make ensure the integration of the different sections of the proposal you are writing.
