The Case Discussion Questions: In this case, what evidence is there that non-relationship-based selection criteria and processes are beginning to grow in importance in recruitment processes? When Chun, Li and the HR committee sat down to work their way through the remaining 48 candidates to decide who should be recruited, the names of Zhou Zing’s candidate, Shi Winnee’s daughter, Qin Yong’s nephew, Mike Gan’s son and his best friend could not be found on the final list of candidates. (1) if you were Chun, what action would you take with regard to these five candidates and why? Discuss the options and likely outcome. (2) If you were part of the recruitment team for a major Western commercial bank, what action would you take with regard to these candidates and why? Discuss the options and likely outcome. Why do you think Zhou called Chun to invite him and his family to meet his family for dinner in an expensive, high standard restaurant in central Dalian when usually they had frequented a noodle restaurant nearer to their home? What should Chun do about the “hong bao” that his former classmate and colleague, Shi, gave him? What is the likelihood that Guanxi will continue to play a significant role in HR selection in Chinese banks as they adapt to the market economy? (1) What are the advantages and disadvantages of granting the Department of Electric Power director’s candidate a position? (2) Chun found that Gan’s son and his son’s friend had not even submitted applications: how could this complicate Chun’s decision? .

As the largest health care workforce group, nurses are well suit.docx
As the largest health care workforce group, nurses are well suited to collaborate with other team members in the clinical work for an effective healthcare delivery (Matthys, Remmen, & Van Bogaert, 2017).
Collaboration is multidimensional and can occur in both face-to-face encounters and electronically for exchange of views and ideas. Collaboration is a planned or an unplanned engagement that takes place between individuals or teams of individuals, whether in-person or mediated by technology, where information is exchanged in some way (either explicitly, i.e. verbally or written, or implicitly, i.e. through shared understanding of gestures, emotions, etc.), and often occur across different roles (i.e. physician and nurse) to deliver patient care (Weir, 2011).
With reference to health informatics, a systematic review of literature, (Eikey, Reddy, & Kuziemsky, 2015), methods of collaborative work in health setting include telemedicine application, EMR, HER, EPR, CPOE, mobile technology, (PDAs, pagers, mobile phones), Web 2.0 applications, internet, online health communities, picture archives, and communication system, medicine dispensing devices and barcode systems, HIT and any other specific application. The authors further presented the "collaboration space model", to help researchers study collaboration and technology in healthcare.
In my healthcare setting, we use several health informatics methods such as pagers, mobile phones, communication system, medicine dispensing devices and barcode systems, but one that has been much applauded during this COVID 19 era is Telemedicine. I work in a psych/detox hospital.
We found telemedicine very relevant based on research results indicating that people with mental health problems are twice more likely to be frequent users of hospital emergency departments (Hunt, Weber, Showstack, Colby, & Callaham, 2006). The use of the emergency department for routine clinical care poses a huge strain on the health system because of the high cost of treatment, restricting use of the emergency department for admission of patients who really require admissions. This is also because of the associated complexity and pressure to admit patients for inpatient care (Institute of Medicine (U.S.), 2007).
Recent technological advancements have led to easy access to videoconferencing utilizing personal computers or tablets. A few research work has also been carried out using telemedicine. Patients are encouraged to check their vital signs using personal devices. Also, the introduction of asynchronous store-and-forward approaches enable clinicians review their patient without direct interaction. Also, telehomecare enables clinicians monitor their patients in their own homes (Yellowlees et al., 2010). Telepsychiatry aims to improve quality of care to patients and reduce costs in three ways: it will carry out assessment at a distance, the specialist will be able to provide emergency department doctors opinion on complex c.

Case Study #1
Young-Hwa, a 40-year-old Korean male, had immigrated to the United States 15 years ago without proper documentation. He had a hard life because, despite his training as a chef in Korea, he had difficulty finding a well-paying job without proper documentation. He also had a hard time getting along with others for long periods of time in some of the kitchens that he worked for.
He would do really well for a while talking about how much he enjoyed the job thinking that this was going to be his lucky break, but after several months he would either quit or get fired.
During these times of being out of work he is very depressed and irritable and will sleep for days without coming out of his bedroom.
After many years of various positions including kitchen assistant and assistant cook, he finally landed his dream job of a top chef in a Korean restaurant.
He recently was married to a Caucasian woman who had a daughter from a prior relationship and now they have twin sons.
Their marriage would be described as fairly good with some hard times.
His wife knows his work history and occasionally will threatened that if he messes this one up, she and the children will be leaving him.
However, most of the time she only threatens this when she is angry about not being able to .

Is it OK to read employees' e-mail as a security measure to ensure that sensitive company information isn't being disclosed?
Should you have access to those emails and files on a personal device that is accessing the company data via a 3rd party app (i.e.

As the evidence in the case study implies, the murder of Scowen .docx
As the evidence in the case study implies, the murder of Scowen by Mayo cannot be deemed a planned one. The rationale behind such a stance is that Mayo claims that he acted in self-defense, meaning that he did not intend to kill Scowen. Yet, this situation raises major doubts regarding the rightfulness of Mayo’s course of action. From the case study, it is clear that Mayo demonstrated disregard of human life when he used a firearm. In the first place, he killed a human being who did not pose a major threat to him because verbally threatening someone and taking the actions to carry out those threats are not the same thing. Apart from that, the use of firearms is associated with a major risk to the lives of people around the area. That is to say that Mayo could have wounded or even killed others who were at the bar at that time. According to Mayo, the killing was premised on Scowen’s taking the beer bottle accompanied by the threat to kill him. That is not a sufficient ground to kill a person. The fact that Scowen did not break the bottle also indicates that he might have not implied any malice action toward Mayo, while verbal threats, as heard by Mayo, do not justify his actions either.
If I were a prosecutor, I would primarily present manslaughter charges against Mayo. That is justified by the Colorado Criminal Laws. Specifically, a person commits manslaughter if they take reckless actions that lead to a person's death and if their intentional actions lead to another person’s suicide (Hemenway, 2016). Manslaughter is qualified as a Class 4 felony, meaning that an offender has caused major harm to society. Meanwhile, possible penalties range from 2-6 years in prison to a fine of up to $500,000.

As shown by the timeline of major employment laws, sometimes referre.docx
As shown by the timeline of major employment laws, sometimes referred to as labor laws, these have been in place for many years. Many have been updated to be more relevant for the workplace during various times in the United States. While these laws continue to evolve, the purpose of employment laws is to protect individual workers and employers right along with them to promote a more productive, safe working environment.
You will begin this assignment by researching and selecting one of the older employment laws such as the Fair Labor and Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, or the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Then, research and select a recently changed or newly implemented employment law. Think of relevant current topics such as changes in sick leave or family leave laws, or the new ban-the-box or pregnancy accommodation legislation. Now, in the role of an HR manager, develop a narrated PowerPoint presentation explaining the laws you have selected. You are to present your information at the next team meeting with your HR associates. Address the following in your presentation:
Explain the laws and what they cover.
Determine how the obsoleter employment law and the more recent one vary from each other. Provide examples of how this influences HR supervisors’ and team members’ roles.
Assess the impact of the laws for employees and the organization.
Include important steps supervisors must take to ensure compliance with employment laws.
Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists and should cite material appropriately. Add audio to each slide using the

As someone with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),.docx
As someone with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), I have struggled with short-term memory issues for my entire life. However, since I was diagnosed later in life, I spent the bulk of my school-age years developing strategies to deal with what I thought were typical memory issues that everyone faced. By the time I entered university I knew that unless I physically wrote out my notes with a pen on paper, I would not remember them because it was too easy for me to type notes while my mind was ‘elsewhere’ not paying attention. If I needed to remember a list of things, I needed to write it somewhere I would see it repeatedly, like the back of my hand or the leg of my jeans; a list on paper in my pocket was quickly forgotten – out of sight out of mind.
The working memory model, developed by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974, focuses on the idea that working memory has a limited capacity to store information temporarily as it processes where the information is to go, such as into long-term memory to action (Baddeley, 2003). The information that is gathered falls into different subsets of the overall system, determined by the central executive: the phonological loop (spoken or written information) or visuospatial sketchpad (visual or spatial information) or the episodic buffer (a general category) (Mcleod, 2012).
Issues with short-term memory loss as related to ADHD and the working memory model comes from reported deficits in the ability to control attention and an oversaturation of information input into the central executive (Ortega et al., 2020; Mcleod, 2012). This results in information input being disorganized and not always making it to the long-term memory. Meaning, my central executive may not function in the manner in which Baddeley (2003) suggests it should and it can get easily overwhelmed, resulting in the interference of informational input and encoding. Issues with short-term memory are often considered to be as a result of decay or interference, though decay is difficult to prove due to issues with testability and overall understanding of the cause (Jonides et al., 2008).
It was explained to me that many people who have unknowingly existed with ADHD throughout their lives have developed both conscious and unconscious strategies to manage any cognitive processing issues they deal with. I mentioned writing things down as a conscious strategy that I have implemented over the years. Another strategy that I’ve used and continue to practice is repeating someone’s name back to them when being introduced. The act of saying their name out loud forces my attention to be focused on that singular piece of information, allowing for a better chance of it being appropriately encoded and therefore retrieved. Another option is to use a multisensory strategy when possible, allowing for auditory and visual input of the same information. Saying someone’s name out loud and reading it on a name tag for example. I’ve also asked people in the past .

As our course materials make clear, ideasimages of heroes or .docx
As our course materials make clear, ideas/images of heroes or heroic figures are pervasive and seem to have both universal and unique (cultural, temporal, geographic, etc.) characteristics and meanings. For your research paper, I would like you to focus on one specific character or individual who has been, or arguably could be, proclaimed a heroic (or at least celebrated) figure. The “hero” you choose may be most frequently encountered in oral tradition (myth, folktale, legend, personal experience narratives, etc.), print (classical mythology, novels, children’s literature, written history, comic books, etc.) or visual/multi-media formats (art works, film, television, Internet, etc.). In all likelihood, crucial understandings (current or past) of any particular hero/celebrity will be found in multiple forms of communication and representation. For example, how many different ways can one come to “know” Hercules, George Washington, or Luke Skywalker?
What hero figure, heroic ideal, or celebrity will you specifically focus on? What data/modes of communication will you deal with? Why, based on your preliminary research, is this important to study?

As part of the IEP team, general education and special education t.docx
As part of the IEP team, general education and special education teachers must possess an understanding of the eligibility categories used to determine if a student is eligible to receive special education services. These categories are broad and many types of diagnoses fall under each category. For example, attention deficit disorder is one common disability that falls under the category of Other Health Impaired, and Down syndrome falls under Intellectual Disability. Dyslexia is also a diagnosis that usually falls under the category of Specific Learning Disability in the area of Reading and has specific, unique characteristics. General education and special education teachers must collaborate and communicate in a professional and articulate manner with school psychologists, related service providers, administrators, colleagues, and families when determining eligibility and providing a rationale to support the need for delivery of services.
Use the provided “Disability Matrix Template” to complete this assignment. Follow the example “Autism” row in the template.
Identify and research the disability categories under IDEA.

As managers acquire experience some of what they had utilized with.docx
As managers acquire experience some of what they had utilized with regards to their managerial styles change (Bauer and Erdogan, 2015). For this week, after reading the article on what makes a great manager by Buckingham as cited in HBR (2011) as well as viewing the video that is located under Media and adding other professional resources that you have read, discuss your personal experiences with either how you have seen a manager alter his/her style as time went by or your own personal experience with it.
The discussion post this week should address two items:
1. Share examples of what you have learned about managing so that the optimum performance, as well as motivation from a team, has been the results. Take into consideration the article from the last discussion by Walker as cited in HBR (2011) with regards to novice managers and compare the two author's ideas about management styles. You may also refer to the other readings and video selections provided in the course if that is a better fit for your work and helps you to build out your research paper.
2. Additionally, please research for the upcoming research papers and share two sources in your discussion thread that speaks to your topic area. You may use a selection from our coursework or a new source. Please share a comment about how your topic area is relevant to managing and leading others or your approach to the research paper, and why this is an important topic to you.

Audi and the Audi Cup case
In the ‘Audi and the Audi Cup’ case, select one of the key stakeholders and develop a new brand concept which leverages a sponsorship asset which has not featured prominently in recent activations.
When developing this concept, explain:
i. Why have you chosen this sponsorship asset?
ii. How will this asset compliment or help achieve key objectives for Audi?
iii. How can you make this activation scalable (i.e. Increase in size, reach) without significantly increasing the budget?
iv. What KPI’s could be used in order to measure the success of this activation?
v. Name two Critical Success Factors that will influence the outcome or success of this activation for the stakeholder you have chosen.
Guidance to answering Activity
When developing concepts for sponsorship activation for a brand (sponsor) there is a tendency to start with an ‘idea’. Perhaps you will have an idea which is creative and different to other activation ideas that have not been used by this particular brand or partner (i.e. football club or cycling team). This does not always lead to the best fit ot address the marketing or business objectives of the sponsor.
When assessing the suitability and strength of concepts for sponsors, there are a number of .

As looking through both Anti-Federalists and Federalist, the Anti-Fe.docx
As looking through both Anti-Federalists and Federalist, the Anti-Federalists point of view seems to be more appealing. As a Anti-Federalist, there is a strong need to amend the Constituion with a Bill of Rights. Our states need as much rights as they need. A bill of rights needs to be set with the Constitution, because if there are rights, then people will be happy
There are many differences between Federalists and Anti-Federalists. One such example would be the government. The Federalists agrue about having a central government, while the Anti-Federalists feel a central government will only cause anarchy. This is a quote from Federalists No. 39:"It is
essential
to such a government that it be derived from the great body of the society, not from an inconsiderable proportion or a favored class of it; otherwise a handful of tyrannical nobles, exercising their oppressions by a delegation of their powers, might aspire to the rank of republicans and claim for their government the honorable title of republic." The meaning of this is probably meant that Federalists were unsure of human nature and government must resist the passion of the public.
Another reason is that Anti-Federalists wanted to amend the Consitution with a Bill of Rights. the first version of the federal government was quite weak. A mojr purpos of the Constitution was to grant more power to the federal government. The anti-federalists wanted assurances that this new and more powerful government wouldn't be out of control. Quote from "A Farmer" January 11, 1788: Rouse up, my friends, a matter of infinite importance is before you on the carpet, soon to be decided in your convention: The New Constitution. Seize the happy moment. Secure to yourselves and your posterity the jewel Liberty, which has cost you so much blood and treasure, by a well regulated Bill of Rights, from the encroachments of men in power."
Federalist believe that a Bill of Rights is completely unnecessary and danger. Quote:"It has been several times truly remarked, that bills of rights are in their origin, stipulations between kings and their subjects, abridgments of prerogative in favor of privilege, reservations of rights not surrendered to the prince. Such was Magna Carta, obtained by the Barons, sword in hand, from king John ... It is evident, therefore, that according to their primitive signification, they have no application to constitutions professedly founded upon the power of the people, and executed by their immediate representatives and servants. Here, in strictness, the people surrender nothing, and as they retain everything, they have no need of particular reservations." How is having a Bill of Rights dangerous? If states and individual people have individuals right the Bill of Rights, then more people would agree, but Federalists think only more trouble will come.
Being a Federalists isn't something anyone wants to waste their time doing. If one wants a central government with no Bill of rights, fine.

As noted in the Learning Resources this week, health professionals c.docx
As noted in the Learning Resources this week, health professionals can be leaders of social change. Consider the story of Paul Amigh, a student and teaching assistant at Walden:
My name is Paul Amigh (pronounced Ah-me'), and I am a student in the PhD Public Health program at Walden University with a concentration in Epidemiology and a Teaching Assistant for the School of Health Sciences bachelor’s degree programs. I have obtained my entire college experience from Walden University, and it has changed my life and given me the desire to change the lives of others.
I am a U.S. Army veteran who graduated from the Academy of Health Sciences, attended vocational school in Central PA for my L.P.N. license, and hold a BS in Public Health with a concentration in Health Informatics from Walden University. I have spent my life in service of my country and others working as medic, a prison nurse, travel nurse, and as a charge nurse in an advanced Alzheimer’s unit. Feeling a greater need to do more for my community and improve the lives of others, it was my bachelor’s degree from Walden University that gave me the opportunity to work in education. I began teaching medical assisting, medical billing and coding, and health informatics classes at a local technical school in Central Pennsylvania, but I still felt I could do more.
I created a local chapter of SkillsUSA and began to train students in leadership and skills competitions related to their chosen vocational career path. It was here I discovered students just need someone to believe in them. Spending a few hours each day training and working with these students to improve upon the soft skills employers are looking for in communication, conflict resolution, critical thinking, and fundraising the entire cost of membership and travel, I created Champions at Work. Over the last six years, I have personally trained and mentored more than 50 Pennsylvania State Gold Medalists and trained fifteen National Medalists, with five of them becoming national champions!
This October I stepped down from teaching and have been appointed as the new Public Health Program Administrator of Western Pennsylvania for the PA Department of Health’s Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program. This special Supplemental Nutrition Program provides Federal grants to States for supplemental foods, healthcare referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk. Established as a permanent program in 1974, WIC is considered the premiere public health program for the Department of Agriculture.
My dream is to not only complete my PhD from Walden University, but to someday call Walden University my employer and continue to work with some of the most amazing professors and mentors I have ever had the pleasure of learning from, getting to know them on a personal level, and changing the live.
As more and more of the U.S. and world population ages into old age,.docx
As more and more of the U.S. and world population ages into old age, it is becoming increasingly critical that societies have a better understanding of what works well and what perhaps does not work so well when considering eldercare. What types of living situations ensure happier and healthier elders? What factors in eldercare may impact working adults and loved ones? What's the effect of varied living situations on societies and economies as a whole? Finally, what does the way a family or society treat elders say about that family or society in terms of values and belief systems? As you consider these questions, further think about how building your understanding of eldercare might help you not only in your professional work but also how it might impact you on a personal level as well.
For this Discussion, you will explore the advantages and disadvantages of eldercare living.
Imagine you are middle-aged and belong to a family where your children are late adolescents. You have two teenage children and two very elderly parents. In some cultures, it is common for elders to live in an independent living community, retirement community, or assisted living communities. In other cultures, elders will come live with an adult child.

As large data-sets become more important to both consumer and busine.docx
As large data-sets become more important to both consumer and business publishing, many businesses are experimenting with new ways to visualise data and help it to tell a story. And publishers that get it right – like the New York Times (see above image), Guardian or Wired – win awards, social media kudos and new readers.
But what exactly is involved in the new discipline of data visualisation and what skills do publishers have to nurture, whatever the size of their team? Andy Kirk, of
Visualising data
, believes that data visualisation is a mixture of art and science, creativity, analysis and project management. He sees 8 “hats” in the data visualisation process, which can either be worn by different members of a team, or can be deliberate mindsets adopted by a solo professional. Understanding how each contributes to the finished product is perhaps the key to creating great data visualisation designs…
Think about the role you played in creating a presentation or working on a project using data visualizations. Choose two of the 8 hats and explain your roles (in relation to these hats) in creating the presentation or finishing the project.

As next-generation technology ratchets the price of sequen.docx
A
s next-generation technology ratchets the price of
sequencing lower and lower, users from aca-
demic labs to Big Pharma are fi nding themselves
drowning in data. What used to be gigabytes
worth of information has become terabytes or
petabytes. At the same time, the cost crunch
brought on by the global recession has made
researchers leery of unnecessary capital spending.
The result is more and more users moving their data management
to the cloud or outsourcing it entirely.
Whereas large pharma companies may have the funds and
infrastructure to maintain dedicated servers for storage and analysis
of sequencing data, small companies—especially those that don’t
sequence continuously—are leading the migration to the cloud, and
service providers are springing up to meet the demand. Cost, secu-
rity, and convenience top the list of concerns for researchers looking
for a place to unload reams of data. However, once that transition is
made, features like collaborative data sharing, access to third-party
analysis apps, and patient privacy become more important.
Expression Analysis, a Quintiles Co., Durham, N.C., provides
genomic services to the pharma and biotech industry, as well as
academic, government, and foundation laboratories doing research
in molecular biology and genetics. It provides cloud computing
services through a partnership with Golden Helix Inc., Bozeman,
Mont. Its clients require computation-intensive services for gener-
ating the initial RNA or DNA sequence and also for cleaning up,
aligning, and analyzing the sequence.
According to Expression Analysis, a typical sequencing project
for 100 RNA samples would generate 300 to 400 GB worth of com-
pressed data, or 700 GB to 1 TB worth of data in total; and that’s
just for one experiment. For multiple experiments, the amount of
data can add up to astronomical quantities quite quickly.
Some applications, such as analyzing cancer samples, are even
more data intensive, because of the depth of coverage and the need
to sample multiple cells in the tumor.
“The cloud offers a full environment in order to do analysis on
a large number of samples simultaneously,” said Wendell Jones,
PhD, vice president of statistics and bioinformatics for Expression
Analysis.
That computing power becomes a commodity for the customer,
replacing expensive, on-site, server infrastructure. The data is
instead accessed through a browser, and there is no need to upload
or download huge fi les. “You can leave them on the cloud and
access in a streaming fashion via the cloud,” Jones said.
For small companies, the cloud-based service offers additional
advantages beyond saving on hardware and real estate. Startup
companies may not have the structure in place to operate Linux-
based genome software applications. A cloud-based storage and
analysis service allows those companies to use their own local
Windows or Macintosh desktop operating systems.

As iPhone 11 looms, Apple looks beyond the
smartphone
McGee, Patrick . FT.com ; London (Sep 6, 2019).
ProQuest document link
ABSTRACT (ENGLISH)
“Apple doesn’t appear to have the lock on product innovation or enthusiasm that it used to have,” said Mark
Mahaney, tech analyst at RBC Capital Markets. [...]in smartphones, where Apple earns more than half of its annual
revenues, theiPhoneincreasingly struggles to meet, let alone outmatch, the latest line-up of devices from rivals
Samsung, Huawei and Google, in terms of battery life, recharge time and cameras. [...]while sales data suggest
Apple is losing the battle for smartphone supremacy — last quarter iPhone sales fell 14 per cent to 39m units, even
as Samsung sales rose 4 per cent to 75m units and Huawei sales jumped 16 per cent to 58m, according to Gartner
— other indicators suggest Apple is winning the war. [...]according to Mr Ramanujam, the received wisdom is
wrong. “Because once you have people talking about $17,000, a $400 Apple Watch doesn’t look expensive.”
FULL TEXT
When Apple priced a smartphone above the $1,000 barrier for the first time two years ago, consumers balked.
Analysts worried the iPhone X would flop. USA Today joked that buyers might need to take out a mortgage to
purchase it.
But then the unexpected happened: people bought the device in such numbers thatiPhonerevenues reached a
record $62bn in the holiday quarter, up 13 per cent from the previous year, even as unit sales declined.
The revenue boost proved shortlived, but ahead of Apple’s annual hardware event on September 10, pricing experts
at the consultancy Simon-Kucher &Partners believe consumers are ready for the next milestone: a $2,000 iPhone.
In a new survey of 10,250 people across the US, Simon-Kucher found that 10 per cent of consumers in the market
for a new iPhone were willing to pay $2,000 for a top-range model. A quarter were willing to pay more than $1,800.
“There’s an iPhone for every purse,” said Madhavan Ramanujam, a partner at Simon-Kucher.
The survey, of course, was taken before Apple has actually revealed its new line-up of iPhones. The percentage of
customers willing to splash out the extra cash could be considerably lower if Apple fails to unveil any big
technology improvements that might command such a premium.
Days before the event, analysts say the smartphone looks set to underwhelm. While rivals such as Samsung push
ahead with foldable phones and ultrafast 5G connectivity, it is widely expected Apple will unveil three new iPhones
featuring the same screen sizes as current models but with upgraded processors and Apple’s first triple-lens
camera —exciting, perhaps, but something Huawei has had for nearly two years.
“Apple doesn’t appear to have the lock on product innovation or enthusiasm that it used to have,” said Mark
Mahaney, tech analyst at RBC Capital Markets.

As shown by the timeline of major employment laws, sometimes referred to as labor laws, these have been in place for many years. Many have been updated to be more relevant for the workplace during various times in the United States. While these laws continue to evolve, the purpose of employment laws is to protect individual workers and employers right along with them to promote a more productive, safe working environment.
You will begin this assignment by researching and selecting one of the older employment laws such as the Fair Labor and Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, or the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Then, research and select a recently changed or newly implemented employment law. Think of relevant current topics such as changes in sick leave or family leave laws, or the new ban-the-box or pregnancy accommodation legislation. Now, in the role of an HR manager, develop a narrated PowerPoint presentation explaining the laws you have selected. You are to present your information at the next team meeting with your HR associates. Address the following in your presentation:
Explain the laws and what they cover.

As someone with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),.docx
As someone with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), I have struggled with short-term memory issues for my entire life. However, since I was diagnosed later in life, I spent the bulk of my school-age years developing strategies to deal with what I thought were typical memory issues that everyone faced. By the time I entered university I knew that unless I physically wrote out my notes with a pen on paper, I would not remember them because it was too easy for me to type notes while my mind was ‘elsewhere’ not paying attention. If I needed to remember a list of things, I needed to write it somewhere I would see it repeatedly, like the back of my hand or the leg of my jeans; a list on paper in my pocket was quickly forgotten – out of sight out of mind.
The working memory model, developed by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974, focuses on the idea that working memory has a limited capacity to store information temporarily as it processes where the information is to go, such as into long-term memory to action (Baddeley, 2003). The information that is gathered falls into different subsets of the overall system, determined by the central executive: the phonological loop (spoken or written information) or visuospatial sketchpad (visual or spatial information) or the episodic buffer (a general category) (Mcleod, 2012).
Issues with short-term memory loss as related to ADHD and the working memory model comes from reported deficits in the ability to control attention and an oversaturation of information input into the central executive (Ortega et al., 2020; Mcleod, 2012). This results in information input being disorganized and not always making it to the long-term memory. Meaning, my central executive may not function in the manner in which Baddeley (2003) suggests it should and it can get easily overwhelmed, resulting in the interference of informational input and encoding. Issues with short-term memory are often considered to be as a result of decay or interference, though decay is difficult to prove due to issues with testability and overall understanding of the cause (Jonides et al., 2008).
It was explained to me that many people who have unknowingly existed with ADHD throughout their lives have developed both conscious and unconscious strategies to manage any cognitive processing issues they deal with. I mentioned writing things down as a conscious strategy that I have implemented over the years. Another strategy that I’ve used and continue to practice is repeating someone’s name back to them when being introduced. The act of saying their name out loud forces my attention to be focused on that singular piece of information, allowing for a better chance of it being appropriately encoded and therefore retrieved. Another option is to use a multisensory strategy when possible, allowing for auditory and visual input of the same information. Saying someone’s name out loud and reading it on a name tag for example. I’ve also asked people in the past .

As our course materials make clear, ideasimages of heroes or .docx
As our course materials make clear, ideas/images of heroes or heroic figures are pervasive and seem to have both universal and unique (cultural, temporal, geographic, etc.) characteristics and meanings. For your research paper, I would like you to focus on one specific character or individual who has been, or arguably could be, proclaimed a heroic (or at least celebrated) figure. The “hero” you choose may be most frequently encountered in oral tradition (myth, folktale, legend, personal experience narratives, etc.), print (classical mythology, novels, children’s literature, written history, comic books, etc.) or visual/multi-media formats (art works, film, television, Internet, etc.). In all likelihood, crucial understandings (current or past) of any particular hero/celebrity will be found in multiple forms of communication and representation. For example, how many different ways can one come to “know” Hercules, George Washington, or Luke Skywalker?
What hero figure, heroic ideal, or celebrity will you specifically focus on? What data/modes of communication will you deal with? Why, based on your preliminary research, is this important to study?

As part of the IEP team, general education and special education t.docx
As part of the IEP team, general education and special education teachers must possess an understanding of the eligibility categories used to determine if a student is eligible to receive special education services. These categories are broad and many types of diagnoses fall under each category. For example, attention deficit disorder is one common disability that falls under the category of Other Health Impaired, and Down syndrome falls under Intellectual Disability. Dyslexia is also a diagnosis that usually falls under the category of Specific Learning Disability in the area of Reading and has specific, unique characteristics. General education and special education teachers must collaborate and communicate in a professional and articulate manner with school psychologists, related service providers, administrators, colleagues, and families when determining eligibility and providing a rationale to support the need for delivery of services.
Use the provided “Disability Matrix Template” to complete this assignment. Follow the example “Autism” row in the template.

Audi and the Audi Cup case
In the ‘Audi and the Audi Cup’ case, select one of the key stakeholders and develop a new brand concept which leverages a sponsorship asset which has not featured prominently in recent activations.
When developing this concept, explain:
i. Why have you chosen this sponsorship asset?
ii. How will this asset compliment or help achieve key objectives for Audi?
iii. How can you make this activation scalable (i.e. Increase in size, reach) without significantly increasing the budget?
iv. What KPI’s could be used in order to measure the success of this activation?
v. Name two Critical Success Factors that will influence the outcome or success of this activation for the stakeholder you have chosen.
Guidance to answering Activity
When developing concepts for sponsorship activation for a brand (sponsor) there is a tendency to start with an ‘idea’. Perhaps you will have an idea which is creative and different to other activation ideas that have not been used by this particular brand or partner (i.e. football club or cycling team). This does not always lead to the best fit ot address the marketing or business objectives of the sponsor.
When assessing the suitability and strength of concepts for sponsors, there are a number of .

As looking through both Anti-Federalists and Federalist, the Anti-Fe.docx
As looking through both Anti-Federalists and Federalist, the Anti-Federalists point of view seems to be more appealing. As a Anti-Federalist, there is a strong need to amend the Constituion with a Bill of Rights. Our states need as much rights as they need. A bill of rights needs to be set with the Constitution, because if there are rights, then people will be happy
There are many differences between Federalists and Anti-Federalists. One such example would be the government. The Federalists agrue about having a central government, while the Anti-Federalists feel a central government will only cause anarchy. This is a quote from Federalists No. 39:"It is
essential
to such a government that it be derived from the great body of the society, not from an inconsiderable proportion or a favored class of it; otherwise a handful of tyrannical nobles, exercising their oppressions by a delegation of their powers, might aspire to the rank of republicans and claim for their government the honorable title of republic." The meaning of this is probably meant that Federalists were unsure of human nature and government must resist the passion of the public.
Another reason is that Anti-Federalists wanted to amend the Consitution with a Bill of Rights. the first version of the federal government was quite weak. A mojr purpos of the Constitution was to grant more power to the federal government. The anti-federalists wanted assurances that this new and more powerful government wouldn't be out of control. Quote from "A Farmer" January 11, 1788: Rouse up, my friends, a matter of infinite importance is before you on the carpet, soon to be decided in your convention: The New Constitution. Seize the happy moment. Secure to yourselves and your posterity the jewel Liberty, which has cost you so much blood and treasure, by a well regulated Bill of Rights, from the encroachments of men in power."
Federalist believe that a Bill of Rights is completely unnecessary and danger. Quote:"It has been several times truly remarked, that bills of rights are in their origin, stipulations between kings and their subjects, abridgments of prerogative in favor of privilege, reservations of rights not surrendered to the prince. Such was Magna Carta, obtained by the Barons, sword in hand, from king John ... It is evident, therefore, that according to their primitive signification, they have no application to constitutions professedly founded upon the power of the people, and executed by their immediate representatives and servants. Here, in strictness, the people surrender nothing, and as they retain everything, they have no need of particular reservations." How is having a Bill of Rights dangerous? If states and individual people have individuals right the Bill of Rights, then more people would agree, but Federalists think only more trouble will come.
Being a Federalists isn't something anyone wants to waste their time doing. If one wants a central government with no Bill of rights, fine.

As noted in the Learning Resources this week, health professionals c.docx
As noted in the Learning Resources this week, health professionals can be leaders of social change. Consider the story of Paul Amigh, a student and teaching assistant at Walden:
My name is Paul Amigh (pronounced Ah-me'), and I am a student in the PhD Public Health program at Walden University with a concentration in Epidemiology and a Teaching Assistant for the School of Health Sciences bachelor’s degree programs. I have obtained my entire college experience from Walden University, and it has changed my life and given me the desire to change the lives of others.
I am a U.S. Army veteran who graduated from the Academy of Health Sciences, attended vocational school in Central PA for my L.P.N. license, and hold a BS in Public Health with a concentration in Health Informatics from Walden University. I have spent my life in service of my country and others working as medic, a prison nurse, travel nurse, and as a charge nurse in an advanced Alzheimer’s unit. Feeling a greater need to do more for my community and improve the lives of others, it was my bachelor’s degree from Walden University that gave me the opportunity to work in education. I began teaching medical assisting, medical billing and coding, and health informatics classes at a local technical school in Central Pennsylvania, but I still felt I could do more.
I created a local chapter of SkillsUSA and began to train students in leadership and skills competitions related to their chosen vocational career path. It was here I discovered students just need someone to believe in them. Spending a few hours each day training and working with these students to improve upon the soft skills employers are looking for in communication, conflict resolution, critical thinking, and fundraising the entire cost of membership and travel, I created Champions at Work. Over the last six years, I have personally trained and mentored more than 50 Pennsylvania State Gold Medalists and trained fifteen National Medalists, with five of them becoming national champions!
This October I stepped down from teaching and have been appointed as the new Public Health Program Administrator of Western Pennsylvania for the PA Department of Health’s Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program. This special Supplemental Nutrition Program provides Federal grants to States for supplemental foods, healthcare referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk. Established as a permanent program in 1974, WIC is considered the premiere public health program for the Department of Agriculture.
My dream is to not only complete my PhD from Walden University, but to someday call Walden University my employer and continue to work with some of the most amazing professors and mentors I have ever had the pleasure of learning from, getting to know them on a personal level, and changing the live.
As more and more of the U.S. and world population ages into old age,.docx
As more and more of the U.S. and world population ages into old age, it is becoming increasingly critical that societies have a better understanding of what works well and what perhaps does not work so well when considering eldercare. What types of living situations ensure happier and healthier elders? What factors in eldercare may impact working adults and loved ones? What's the effect of varied living situations on societies and economies as a whole? Finally, what does the way a family or society treat elders say about that family or society in terms of values and belief systems? As you consider these questions, further think about how building your understanding of eldercare might help you not only in your professional work but also how it might impact you on a personal level as well.
For this Discussion, you will explore the advantages and disadvantages of eldercare living.
Imagine you are middle-aged and belong to a family where your children are late adolescents. You have two teenage children and two very elderly parents. In some cultures, it is common for elders to live in an independent living community, retirement community, or assisted living communities. In other cultures, elders will come live with an adult child.

As large data-sets become more important to both consumer and busine.docx
As large data-sets become more important to both consumer and business publishing, many businesses are experimenting with new ways to visualise data and help it to tell a story. And publishers that get it right – like the New York Times (see above image), Guardian or Wired – win awards, social media kudos and new readers.
But what exactly is involved in the new discipline of data visualisation and what skills do publishers have to nurture, whatever the size of their team? Andy Kirk, of
Visualising data
, believes that data visualisation is a mixture of art and science, creativity, analysis and project management. He sees 8 “hats” in the data visualisation process, which can either be worn by different members of a team, or can be deliberate mindsets adopted by a solo professional. Understanding how each contributes to the finished product is perhaps the key to creating great data visualisation designs…
Think about the role you played in creating a presentation or working on a project using data visualizations. Choose two of the 8 hats and explain your roles (in relation to these hats) in creating the presentation or finishing the project.

As next-generation technology ratchets the price of sequen.docx
A
s next-generation technology ratchets the price of
sequencing lower and lower, users from aca-
demic labs to Big Pharma are fi nding themselves
drowning in data. What used to be gigabytes
worth of information has become terabytes or
petabytes. At the same time, the cost crunch
brought on by the global recession has made
researchers leery of unnecessary capital spending.
The result is more and more users moving their data management
to the cloud or outsourcing it entirely.
Whereas large pharma companies may have the funds and
infrastructure to maintain dedicated servers for storage and analysis
of sequencing data, small companies—especially those that don’t
sequence continuously—are leading the migration to the cloud, and
service providers are springing up to meet the demand. Cost, secu-
rity, and convenience top the list of concerns for researchers looking
for a place to unload reams of data. However, once that transition is
made, features like collaborative data sharing, access to third-party
analysis apps, and patient privacy become more important.
Expression Analysis, a Quintiles Co., Durham, N.C., provides
genomic services to the pharma and biotech industry, as well as
academic, government, and foundation laboratories doing research
in molecular biology and genetics. It provides cloud computing
services through a partnership with Golden Helix Inc., Bozeman,
Mont. Its clients require computation-intensive services for gener-
ating the initial RNA or DNA sequence and also for cleaning up,
aligning, and analyzing the sequence.
According to Expression Analysis, a typical sequencing project
for 100 RNA samples would generate 300 to 400 GB worth of com-
pressed data, or 700 GB to 1 TB worth of data in total; and that’s
just for one experiment. For multiple experiments, the amount of
data can add up to astronomical quantities quite quickly.
Some applications, such as analyzing cancer samples, are even
more data intensive, because of the depth of coverage and the need
to sample multiple cells in the tumor.
“The cloud offers a full environment in order to do analysis on
a large number of samples simultaneously,” said Wendell Jones,
PhD, vice president of statistics and bioinformatics for Expression
Analysis.
That computing power becomes a commodity for the customer,
replacing expensive, on-site, server infrastructure. The data is
instead accessed through a browser, and there is no need to upload
or download huge fi les. “You can leave them on the cloud and
access in a streaming fashion via the cloud,” Jones said.
For small companies, the cloud-based service offers additional
advantages beyond saving on hardware and real estate. Startup
companies may not have the structure in place to operate Linux-
based genome software applications. A cloud-based storage and
analysis service allows those companies to use their own local
Windows or Macintosh desktop operating systems.
There are some advantages to .

As iPhone 11 looms, Apple looks beyond the
smartphone
McGee, Patrick . FT.com ; London (Sep 6, 2019).
ProQuest document link
ABSTRACT (ENGLISH)
“Apple doesn’t appear to have the lock on product innovation or enthusiasm that it used to have,” said Mark
Mahaney, tech analyst at RBC Capital Markets. [...]in smartphones, where Apple earns more than half of its annual
revenues, theiPhoneincreasingly struggles to meet, let alone outmatch, the latest line-up of devices from rivals
Samsung, Huawei and Google, in terms of battery life, recharge time and cameras. [...]while sales data suggest
Apple is losing the battle for smartphone supremacy — last quarter iPhone sales fell 14 per cent to 39m units, even
as Samsung sales rose 4 per cent to 75m units and Huawei sales jumped 16 per cent to 58m, according to Gartner
— other indicators suggest Apple is winning the war. [...]according to Mr Ramanujam, the received wisdom is
wrong. “Because once you have people talking about $17,000, a $400 Apple Watch doesn’t look expensive.”
FULL TEXT
When Apple priced a smartphone above the $1,000 barrier for the first time two years ago, consumers balked.
Analysts worried the iPhone X would flop. USA Today joked that buyers might need to take out a mortgage to
purchase it.
But then the unexpected happened: people bought the device in such numbers thatiPhonerevenues reached a
record $62bn in the holiday quarter, up 13 per cent from the previous year, even as unit sales declined.
The revenue boost proved shortlived, but ahead of Apple’s annual hardware event on September 10, pricing experts
at the consultancy Simon-Kucher &Partners believe consumers are ready for the next milestone: a $2,000 iPhone.
In a new survey of 10,250 people across the US, Simon-Kucher found that 10 per cent of consumers in the market
for a new iPhone were willing to pay $2,000 for a top-range model. A quarter were willing to pay more than $1,800.
“There’s an iPhone for every purse,” said Madhavan Ramanujam, a partner at Simon-Kucher.
The survey, of course, was taken before Apple has actually revealed its new line-up of iPhones. The percentage of
customers willing to splash out the extra cash could be considerably lower if Apple fails to unveil any big
technology improvements that might command such a premium.
Days before the event, analysts say the smartphone looks set to underwhelm. While rivals such as Samsung push
ahead with foldable phones and ultrafast 5G connectivity, it is widely expected Apple will unveil three new iPhones
featuring the same screen sizes as current models but with upgraded processors and Apple’s first triple-lens
camera —exciting, perhaps, but something Huawei has had for nearly two years.
“Apple doesn’t appear to have the lock on product innovation or enthusiasm that it used to have,” said Mark
Mahaney, tech analyst at RBC Capital Markets.
The next breakthrough
In the past, anticipation ahead of Apple’s annual hardwa.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

When Chun, Li and the HR committee sat down to work their way through the remaining 48 candidates to decide who should be recruited, the names of Zhou Zing’s candidate, Shi Winnee’s daughter, Qin Yong’s nephew, Mike Gan’s son and his best friend could not be found on the final list of candidates. (1) if you were Chun, what action would you take with regard to these five candidates and why? Discuss the options and likely outcome. (2) If you were part of the recruitment team for a major Western commercial bank, what action would you take with regard to these candidates and why? Discuss the options and likely outcome. Why do you think Zhou called Chun to invite him and his family to meet his family for dinner in an expensive, high standard restaurant in central Dalian when usually they had frequented a noodle restaurant nearer to their home? What should Chun do about the “hong bao” that his former classmate and colleague, Shi, gave him? What is the likelihood that Guanxi will continue to play a significant role in HR selection in Chinese banks as they adapt to the market economy? (1) What are the advantages and disadvantages of granting the Department of Electric Power director’s candidate a position? (2) Chun found that Gan’s son and his son’s friend had not even submitted applications: how could this complicate Chun’s decision?
