Lucy Lawless Benito Cereno has three sources of narration: 1. A limited third person narration that divides in two: a. Primarily, the narrator limits him/herself to the thoughts and perceptions of Amasa Delano, so everything is described from Delano's persepective. b. At times, the narrator demonstrates fuller knowledge than Delano has, even lightly criticizing Delano's naivete: in particular, the third person narrator seems already to be familiar with the events described in the deposition. 2. The objective, impersonal third person narration of the deposition, which records (an edited version of) the official law documents associated with the case of the San Dominick. No particular narrator is associated with the deposition, but it's obviously coming from some source. Just for fun, I call the seemingly invisible, un-identifiable narrator of the Deposition Lucy Lawless. So here's the question for you to consider: Can you name any aspect of Lucy Lawless's account that might be inaccurate, biased, or incomplete? If so, can you identify a person from the story who might be able to provide a more complete, less biased, or more accurate version of that aspect of the story? If not, please explain why you believe that Lucy Lawless tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth, accurately and without prejudice. Please post your ideas in an original thread, providing accurate and precise cited evidence to illustrate your thinking, and explain the evidence that you provide, as necessary. Then, respond thoughtfully to at least one post from a classmate. A 'thoughtful' response will a) reinforce the evidence by pointing out other examples of the same theme and/or b) extend the logic by thinking about the idea: quibbling with the interpretation, considering the implications of the claim, identifying seeming internal contradictions, identifying fundamental assumptions, refining distinctions, etcetera. Avoid simply agreeing or amplifying another's claim. Thoughtful posts must be original, and may not repeat posts made by others.

Los Angeles Times, Part A; Pg. 1, June 17, 2004Thomas Tak.docx

Los Angeles Times, Part A; Pg. 1, June 17, 2004 Thomas' Take on the Law Rooted in 18th Century; The justice's historical perspective challenges many widely held beliefs about the Constitution. David G. Savage, Times Staff Writer Justice Clarence Thomas may be silent in the Supreme Court during public arguments, but he is not shy about making bold pronounc ements in written opinions. His latest challenge to conventional wisdom came this week in the Pledge of Allegiance case, when he opined that the Constitution protected a state's right to recognize an official church. Almost everyone has assumed that the opposite is true. It is not the first time Thomas has tried to turn the standard thinking on its head when it comes to understanding key parts of the U.S. Constitution. He has done so by focusing on the words and history of the document as it was written in 1787. "He likes to say we should look at this afresh. Our law is muddled, and we should rethink it," Yale Law School professor Akhil Amar said admir ingly of Thomas. But the conseque nces o f his "re thinking" co uld be far-re aching. For example, Thomas has argued that the word "commerce" in the Constitution should be understood as it was in the 18th century: the movement of goods across state lines. Under this view, the states could not erect tariffs or other barriers to the free flow of goods. In the 20th century, however, the Supreme Court adopted a much broader view of commerce, relying on that definition to uphold federal laws that set minimum wages, prohibited discrimination in the workplace, protected the environment or regulat ed the manufac ture of products, in cluding autos and drugs. In a separate 1995 opinion, Thomas said that this broad view conflicted with the Constitution and should be reconsidered. If his colleagues ever agree, many of today's workplace laws would be struck down. Soon after joining the court in 1991, Thomas wrote that the word "punishment" in the Constitution restricted only "judges, not jailers." The high court had adopted a broader view of the ban on "cruel and unusual punishment" in the 1970s and protected prisoners from being subjected to needlessly cruel treatment. When Thomas denounced this view as flatly mistaken, Justice Harry A. Blackmun pointed out that his opinion would permit the t orture of inmate s by prison guards. Two years ago, Thomas condemned the doctrine supporting the separation of church and state, saying it grew out of "anti-Catholic bigotry" during the 19th century. Then, Protestants controlled the public schools, and immigrant Catholics set up their own schools to escape the Protestant influence, he said. Beginning in the 1940s, a unanimous Supreme Court said that the 1st Amendment erected a "wall of separation between church and state," quoting Thomas Jefferson. Relying on that view, the court in the early 1960s struck down state-sponsored prayers and Bible readings in the public schools. Later, the justice.

Lots of people are frustrated with politics in America today.One.docx

washingtonrosy

Lots of people are frustrated with politics in America today. One common complaint is that they two-party system is at fault. People making this complaint worry that, for example, political views not represented by the two parties – Republicans and Democrats – are excluded from political discourse. Or that having only two parties limits the choices available on election day, and if neither candidate is desirable, there’s no one left to choose. But there is another view, as you’ve read. This other view is that blaming the two-party system for today’s problems is misguided. This argument says, among other things, that citizens of other countries with multi-party systems are no more satisfied with the state of their politics than Americans are with ours. We blame the two-party system, they say, because we think “the grass is always greener on the other side,” when really it’s not. And, they argue, we don’t really have a two-party system, anyway. As recently as 1992, a third party, the Reform Party, got almost 19% of the national popular vote in a presidential election. But is this a good argument when, having earned 19% of the popular vote, the reform party got no electoral votes? Given what you’ve read, what do you think about the two-party system? Should we do something to change it? If so, what? Remember you need to make your “Initial Post” of at least 250 words and you need to complete .

washingtonrosy

Looking ahead in your DBA program, the final step in the course sequence is a comprehensive exam. Students must successfully pass the comprehensive exam before moving on to the dissertation phase. Your preparation for the comprehensive exam should have already started via your study in previous courses, self-documentation of your learning, and completion of the reflection journals with your mentor. For the Week 3 paper, you will provide an annotated outline that: Segments the OB field into at least three broad categories. You may have more than three categories, but the minimum for this assignment is three. For example: Individual Group/Team Organizational/Environmental Provides a set of core topics beneath each of the broad categories. At this point in your doctoral development, you must have at least five core topics for each category (thus, a minimum of fifteen total). You may have more than five topics for each category (and eventually you will in your preparation for the exam!) but the minimum for this assignment is five topics for each of your categories (or, at least a total of fifteen topics if you have more than three categories). Integrates one annotated resource (key author—with brief description or bullet points of important points the author makes about the topic) for your fifteen core topics. You may provide more than one resource per topic, but you must have at least one resource each for a minimum of fifteen topics. Synthesizes key learning from working on the guide, next steps you will take working on your guide, and potential benefits beyond comprehensive exam preparation. Sample Structure: Summary assessment of your three (or more) part schema. What is it? Why is it an appropriate way to view the OB field? First Category (e.g., Individual Level of Analysis) Topic 1: Brief definition, description, and overview (2–3 sentences) Key resource: APA formatted reference Summary of key insights about the topic from the source Topic 2: Brief definition, description, and overview (2–3 sentences) Key resource: APA formatted reference Summary of key insights about the topic from the source Topic 3: Brief definition, description, and overview (2–3 sentences) Key resource: APA formatted reference Summary of key insights about the topic from the source Topic 4: Brief definition, description, and overview (2–3 sentences) Key resource: APA formatted reference Summary of key insights about the topic from the source Topic 5: Brief definition, description, and overview (2–3 sentences) Key resource: APA formatted reference Summary of key insights about the topic from the source Second Category (e.g., Group/Team Level of Analysis) Topic 1: Brief definition, description, and overview (2–3 sentences) Key resource: APA formatted reference Summary of key insights about the topic from the source.

Problem Statement Worksheet Organizational problem Organizational Ethics The most affected stakeholder by the problem The problem is most likely to affect the company staff, shareholders as well as customers. The Cross-selling scandal means fewer earnings for the shareholder, who are the critical beneficiaries of the profits attained through daily transactions (Tayan, 2019). The money lost at the course of the scandal will significantly reduce regular earnings. Customers of the bank are also other victims of the problem; the bank staff uses unethical means to exploit money from customers when unable to meet their daily targets. The employees of the company were also affected by the problem; those found guilty of opening new accounts without customer permission were laid off their duties. Opening of unauthorized customer accounts was fueled by high targets, which were set by the management (Klemash et al. 2019). Type of the problem The problem is based on self-interests, knowledge, and skills among the staff and poor organizational structure (Klemash et al. 2019). The action of the bank staff to exploit money from the customers to attain their daily targets is entirely unethical. Suspect causes Among the critical causes of the problem are the splitting of customer deposits, overbearing sales culture, employees’ misconducts, excessive pressure of employees by the top management, and Illicit practices (Tayan, 2019). Improvement goal and the long-term impact The main goal is to identify a solution to the five leading causes of the scandal, which will help prevent the company staff from participating in any unethical practice that is not in line with its goals. Impacts to the stakeholders The cross-selling scandal has caused significant loss of finances to both customers and company shareholders. Customers were able to lose significant amounts of money, which was withdrawn from their accounts without their consent. Solution proposal The company should consider making the roles of different executive directors clear. Having a clear and distinct role will help in holding individual staff accountable. Caution employees from doing any form of the transaction without customers' permission. Those found guilty of exploiting customers for self-interests should be laid off their duties and prosecuted in a court of law. Final problem statement The cross-selling cases which go against organizational ethics have highly increased among the bank employees. The targets set by the management are putting employees under pressure to perfo.

Looking ahead to week 4 of NR631 👀Robert DavisAll SectionsN.docx

Looking ahead to week 4 of NR631 👀 Robert Davis All Sections No unread replies.No replies. Hi everyone! You've now completed three weeks of NR631 (assuming that your literature review is done), and you are ready to move forward to week 4. I'll be grading your TD participation hopefully on Monday and then I'll work on your literature review assignments starting on Tuesday. This is a more extensive assignment and I have assignments due in other courses so it might take me a little longer to get your lit reviews back. I'm anticipating some excellent literature review on your great CGE topics 😎. Let's take a look at what lies ahead in week 4... Introduction In week 4, the lesson title is "Communication in Project Management" and we'll be addressing the following course outcomes: CO #1: Apply leadership skills of project management as a nurse executive in an organizational setting to develop, implement, and evaluate successful project plans (PO 4,5) CO #3: Exemplify professional values and scholarship that support the role of a student in a practicum setting (PO 4) (this is in reference to your time at your practicum site and you'll see this each week) CO #5: Apply professional values characteristic of the competent and caring nurse executive that promotes holistic care principles and an appreciation of cultural humility (PO 1,3,4) I encourage you to keep these course outcomes in mind while you read your text, articles, and lessons, as you participate in TDs, as you participate in practicum hours, and as you complete assignments. Reading: Your week 4 reading consists of three articles from peer reviewed journals. Two would be considered "scholarly" by Chamberlain definition as they are within five years old. The Culo article is from 2010 but it's a very good article so I decided to keep it. Please be sure to read these articles prior to constructing your initial TD post. Lesson: This week's lesson is about communication and building a communication plan. One point the lesson brings out is that, like most of the templates we are using, many organizations have their own formats or templates. I encourage you to reach out to the PM professionals in your organization and ask about this and compare our template to what you use in your organization. If your organization doesn't use a communication plan, it may be something you can suggest as a value added step. Collaboration Cafe ☕️: The week 4 discussion is a Collaboration Cafe ☕️! As with all TDs and Collaboration Cafe's the reduced participation guidelines are in effect for those who need them. I will be reviewing posts each day to make sure you're headed in the right direction. A note of interest...this CC is actually based on an idea that an NR631 student shared in the old week 4 TD. I thought it was such a great thought that I used it (with her permission) to form this learning activity. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to the knowledge you'll build! Graded Assignment: .

Looking back at your work last week regarding crime scene investigation and the responsibilities of a police officer, consider your role as the first responding law enforcement officer at a crime scene. What would be your top three (3) responsibilities when you arrive at the crime scene? Provide a rationale. Describe the actions you will take at the scene to complete your responsibilities. Then, respond to the posts of at least two (2) other peers with comments that continue to drive the discussion. Week 4 HOT TOPIC: Extra Credit At least 19 women at a Georgia immigration facility are now alleging that a doctor performed, or pressured them to undergo, “overly aggressive” or “medically unnecessary” surgery without their consent, including procedures such as hysterectomies, that affect their ability to have children, according to a new report and other records obtained by The Times.. Project South and other advocacy groups, as well as more than 170 members of Congress, have called for wide-ranging investigations into the Irwin County Detention Center after a former nurse at Irwin filed a whistleblower complaint last month saying that a doctor later identified as Mahendra Amin was subjecting female detainees in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody to unwanted hysterectomies. Amin has denied any wrongdoing and the hospital has said that just two such procedures have been performed on detainees since 2017. The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General opened an investigation into the center last month. Chicago lawyer Adam Snyder said Friday that he helped assemble an independent team of medical experts, including nine board-certified obstetricians, to examine women’s claims of subpar treatment after Project South released the whistleblower complaint from former nurse Dawn Wooten.The team, which briefed congressional staff members on their findings Thursday, said in a five-page report obtained by The Washington Post that it reviewed more than 3,200 pages of medical records from 19 women who alleged mistreatment. They found what they consider to be a troubling pattern of inadequate care that included incorrect diagnoses and a failure to secure informed consent for surgery. What are you thoughts? .

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara

Balvir Singh

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup. The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...

Sandy Millin

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative

Peter Windle

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