Inquiry into Hamlet / Poetry Essay
Instructions: As an extension of the Hamlet unit, students will write an inquiry essay on a topic inspired by the tragedy of Hamlet. This essay will be between 900-1200 words in length. Evidence for the essay will be balanced equally between specific quotations from three poems and the play, Hamlet.
Step One: Working in small groups, students will engage in a thorough, line by line analysis of one of the soliloquies of Hamlet and share their analysis with the class.
Step Two: Students will select an inquiry topic from Hamlet and construct 2-3 inquiry questions about the topic. Students should not have preconceived answers to the questions.
Step Three: Gather specific evidence from the play, Hamlet, that relates to the inquiry topic. Topics that do not have sufficient evidence from the play will have to be reconsidered.
Step Four: Students will select three poems from three different poets that specifically relate to the inquiry topic. Each of the poems must come from a different time period, and different forms of poetry should be included. Poems must be sufficient in length to make meaningful connections to the inquiry topic with specific evidence. You may use no more than ONE of the poems analyzed in class.
Major Literary Eras: Traditional Poetic Forms: Non-traditional Poetic Forms:
The Middle Ages. (c.750-1485) Ballad Dramatic Monologue or Soliloquy

The employee life cycle is a foundational framework for robust and healthy employee experience and is a major contributor to the success of the organization. It is also a powerful mechanism that can, when well-designed and properly used, make a company a workplace that employees want to be at every day of the week and creativity and innovation show up even when leaders are just hoping for it. Learners are asked to respond to the following question for this last discussion in the course: Which parts of the employment life cycle do you consider most important and why?

ABSTRACT
The Emergency Department (ED) is a key source of care for
victims of sexual violence but there is little information available about
the extent to which EDs are prepared to provide this care. This study
examines the structural and process factors that the ED has in place to
assist victims. A survey of all 82 publicly accessible EDs in the
Commonwealth of Virginia was conducted (RR 76%). In general, the
EDs provide the recommended medical care to victims. However, at
least half do not have the needed resources in place to effectively assist
victims and most (80%) do not provide regular training to their medical
staff about sexual violence. Further, almost one-quarter do not have a
relationship with a local rape crisis center. It is recommended that each
ED partner with local rape crisis centers to provide training to their
staff and to ensure continuity of support for victims. It is also
suggested that the state government explore ways in which a forensic
(SANE) nurse be made available to every victim of sexual violence that
presents to the ED for medical assistance. Ideally, each ED would
become part of a community-wide Sexual Assault Response Team
286 JHHSA WINTER 2006
(SART) in order to provide comprehensive care to victims and
thorough evidence collection and information to law enforcement.
INTRODUCTION
This study seeks to examine the extent to which
Emergency Departments (EDs) in the Commonwealth of
Virginia are prepared to provide care for victims of sexual
violence through an examination of both structural and
process factors that are currently in place. Many studies
indicate that sexual violence victimization has both long-
term and short-term health consequences (Plichta and Falik,
2001; see also Rentoul and Applebloom 1997; Cloutier,
Martin and Poole, 2002; Bohn and Holz, 1996). The ED is
a key source of care for victims of sexual assault. It is one
of the first points of entry to care. Competent care by
professionals trained in treating sexual assault victims is
critical to the timely recovery of physical and mental
health. The ED also plays a critical role in the collection of
evidence that may lead to the conviction of the perpetrator
and a recent study found that specially trained (forensic)
nurses perform this function significantly better than do
other staff (Sievers, Murphy and Miller, 2003). Forensic
nurses are registered nurses (R.N.’s) who have advanced
training in the examination of sexual assault victims; this
includes training on legal aspe.

The Elements and Principles of Design A Guide to Design Term.docx
The Elements and Principles of Design
A Guide to Design Terminology
The elements of design are some of the basic building blocks that make up the design or artwork.
Understanding and using this terminology can help the designer articulate what works and what doesn’t
work in a design, and to think critically about a design on a more conscious level. Combined, the elements
and principles of design can make for a strong, complete and well-established composition. The principles
of Gestalt, which arise from the elements of design, are included at the end of this document. Learning to
use these elements and principles will be the focus of Beginning Design.
The elements of design are: Point, Line, Form, Value, Texture, Shape, Space, Color
(Color is covered in Art 110; we will be focusing on black, white, and gray scale values.)
DEFINITIONS:
A Point is a position in space.
A Line is the path of a moving point. Two points connected make a line. Lines often imply motion, and can
be rendered in a variety of ways. Contour lines or outlines, define the boundary between shapes. Lines can
create texture or value when used in crosshatching. In addition to these types of actual lines, our eyes can
invent implied lines, such as in dotted lines, or where area boundaries describe lines that may not be there.
Shape is a two dimensional form. The variety of possible shapes is endless. Several common ones are as
follows:
• Simple Geometric: circles, squares, triangles are some of the examples.
• Complex Geometric: straight and curved shapes that have more sides and angles.
• Curvilinear: French curves, ellipses, circles and ovals used in combination.
• Accidental: an example of this might be a coffee ring or paint splatters.
Form is a shape with dimension, an object existing in three dimensional space physically or implied.
Value is the tone created by black, white and shades of gray. The value or tone of an element can create
mass, dimension, emphasis or volume.
Texture can be actual or visual.
• Actual texture is tactile: you can feel it by touching it.
• Visual texture are the markings of a two dimensional artwork that imply actual texture.
Space is an illusion or feeling of 3-dimensionality, which can be created in a two-dimensional design in
several ways, for example:
• Overlapping one object in front of another;
• Using differences in value, amount of detail, etc. between elements;
• Using techniques related to linear perspective, such as differences in size or height on page between
elements
The principles of design are: Unity, Variety, Movement, Balance, Emphasis, Contrast, Proportion,
and Pattern.
DEFINITIONS:
Unity or harmony is the quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of the
elements and principles of design. The most basic quality of a design or artwork, unity gives a piece the
feeling of being an integrated human expression. The princi.

The document provides instructions for a 2,000 word essay discussing how the emergence of human resource management in the UK during the 1980s represented a new form of managerialism and was instrumental in increasing work intensification.

The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practition.docx
The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practitioner include completion of “APRN core (advance physical assessment, advanced pharmacology, and advanced pathophysiology), supervised clinical hours, completion of an accredited graduate program with evidence of an academic transcript, and an active nurse license” (American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, 2021).
The value associated with certification as an FNP is very personal to me. Along with providing higher quality care to clientele, I will have a more fulfilled inner sense of purpose and also be able to provide for my family in a higher capacity than I was previously able to, with an estimated average nurse practitioner salary being over $100,000 annually in the state of Wisconsin. Achieving both my master's and nurse practitioner certification would allow my employer, fellow professional comrades, and most of all; my clients, to have a higher sense of security knowing I’ve worked and studied hard to bring them the highest quality care available. Staying up to date on my continuing education and state-of-the-art processes and pathology will also instill confidence in my clientele to not only continue coming to me with their individual and family healthcare needs but likely will ensure referrals into my practice.
Any time a nurse genuinely takes on a holistic approach towards the practical application of nursing theory, a client is in a better position for patient-centered care, maintaining anonymity, and ensuring positive effective communication during the care process. In the nursing profession, nurses need to not only advocate for their clients, but themselves by participating in associations that work towards advancing the field through by working towards lower nurse-to-client ratios to decrease burnout, leadership education, and opportunity, and also grants to advance continuing education.

ABSTRACT
Creating and running software produces large amounts of raw data
about the development process and the customer usage, which can
be turned into actionable insight with the help of skilled data scien-
tists. Unfortunately, data scientists with the analytical and software
engineering skills to analyze these large data sets have been hard to
come by; only recently have software companies started to develop
competencies in software-oriented data analytics. To understand
this emerging role, we interviewed data scientists across several
product groups at Microsoft. In this paper, we describe their educa-
tion and training background, their missions in software engineer-
ing contexts, and the type of problems on which they work. We
identify five distinct working styles of data scientists: (1) Insight
Providers, who work with engineers to collect the data needed to
inform decisions that managers make; (2) Modeling Specialists,
who use their machine learning expertise to build predictive mod-
els; (3) Platform Builders, who create data platforms, balancing
both engineering and data analysis concerns; (4) Polymaths, who
do all data science activities themselves; and (5) Team Leaders,

1. INTRODUCTION
Software teams are increasingly using data analysis to inform their
engineering and business decisions [1] and to build data solutions
that utilize data in software products [2]. The people who do col-
lection and analysis are called data scientists, a term coined by DJ
Patil and Jeff Hammerbacher in 2008 to define their jobs at
LinkedIn and Facebook [3]. The mission of a data scientist is to
transform data into insight, providing guidance for leaders to take
action [4]. One example is the use of user telemetry data to redesign
Windows Explorer (a tool for file management) for Windows 8.
Data scientists on the Windows team discovered that the top ten
most frequent commands accounted for 81.2% of all of invoked
commands, but only two of these were easily accessible from the
command bar in the user interface 8 [5]. Based on this insight, the
team redesigned the user experience to make these hidden com-
mands more prominent.
Until recently, data scientists were found mostly on software teams
whose products were data-intensive, like internet search and adver-
tising. Today, we have reached an inflection point where many.

The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known .docx
The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known as the global financial crisis, was considered to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The general situation of financial markets has been additionally complicated by the introduction of new financial products as well as other modes of operations including globalization. The global financial market seems to be playing a different function in our economy and it has been working because of new regulations. The introduction of new trade platforms, online access to information, integration and globalization of the market have caused some revisions of finance theories.
What are reliable predictors of economic and financial crises (list at least 3 of them)?
Describe some achievements and some pending issues in context of a global crisis.
Are we still in danger of economic and financial crises today (please refer to current Covid-19 situation)?

ABSTRACT
The Emergency Department (ED) is a key source of care for
victims of sexual violence but there is little information available about
the extent to which EDs are prepared to provide this care. This study
examines the structural and process factors that the ED has in place to
assist victims. A survey of all 82 publicly accessible EDs in the
Commonwealth of Virginia was conducted (RR 76%). In general, the
EDs provide the recommended medical care to victims. However, at
least half do not have the needed resources in place to effectively assist
victims and most (80%) do not provide regular training to their medical
staff about sexual violence. Further, almost one-quarter do not have a
relationship with a local rape crisis center. It is recommended that each
ED partner with local rape crisis centers to provide training to their
staff and to ensure continuity of support for victims. It is also
suggested that the state government explore ways in which a forensic
(SANE) nurse be made available to every victim of sexual violence that
presents to the ED for medical assistance. Ideally, each ED would
become part of a community-wide Sexual Assault Response Team
286 JHHSA WINTER 2006
(SART) in order to provide comprehensive care to victims and
thorough evidence collection and information to law enforcement.
INTRODUCTION
This study seeks to examine the extent to which
Emergency Departments (EDs) in the Commonwealth of
Virginia are prepared to provide care for victims of sexual
violence through an examination of both structural and
process factors that are currently in place. Many studies
indicate that sexual violence victimization has both long-
term and short-term health consequences (Plichta and Falik,
2001; see also Rentoul and Applebloom 1997; Cloutier,
Martin and Poole, 2002; Bohn and Holz, 1996). The ED is
a key source of care for victims of sexual assault. It is one
of the first points of entry to care. Competent care by
professionals trained in treating sexual assault victims is
critical to the timely recovery of physical and mental
health. The ED also plays a critical role in the collection of
evidence that may lead to the conviction of the perpetrator
and a recent study found that specially trained (forensic)
nurses perform this function significantly better than do
other staff (Sievers, Murphy and Miller, 2003). Forensic
nurses are registered nurses (R.N.’s) who have advanced
training in the examination of sexual assault victims; this
includes training on legal aspe.

The Elements and Principles of Design A Guide to Design Term.docx
The Elements and Principles of Design
A Guide to Design Terminology
The elements of design are some of the basic building blocks that make up the design or artwork.
Understanding and using this terminology can help the designer articulate what works and what doesn’t
work in a design, and to think critically about a design on a more conscious level. Combined, the elements
and principles of design can make for a strong, complete and well-established composition. The principles
of Gestalt, which arise from the elements of design, are included at the end of this document. Learning to
use these elements and principles will be the focus of Beginning Design.
The elements of design are: Point, Line, Form, Value, Texture, Shape, Space, Color
(Color is covered in Art 110; we will be focusing on black, white, and gray scale values.)
DEFINITIONS:
A Point is a position in space.
A Line is the path of a moving point. Two points connected make a line. Lines often imply motion, and can
be rendered in a variety of ways. Contour lines or outlines, define the boundary between shapes. Lines can
create texture or value when used in crosshatching. In addition to these types of actual lines, our eyes can
invent implied lines, such as in dotted lines, or where area boundaries describe lines that may not be there.
Shape is a two dimensional form. The variety of possible shapes is endless. Several common ones are as
follows:
• Simple Geometric: circles, squares, triangles are some of the examples.
• Complex Geometric: straight and curved shapes that have more sides and angles.
• Curvilinear: French curves, ellipses, circles and ovals used in combination.
• Accidental: an example of this might be a coffee ring or paint splatters.
Form is a shape with dimension, an object existing in three dimensional space physically or implied.
Value is the tone created by black, white and shades of gray. The value or tone of an element can create
mass, dimension, emphasis or volume.
Texture can be actual or visual.
• Actual texture is tactile: you can feel it by touching it.
• Visual texture are the markings of a two dimensional artwork that imply actual texture.
Space is an illusion or feeling of 3-dimensionality, which can be created in a two-dimensional design in
several ways, for example:
• Overlapping one object in front of another;
• Using differences in value, amount of detail, etc. between elements;
• Using techniques related to linear perspective, such as differences in size or height on page between
elements
The principles of design are: Unity, Variety, Movement, Balance, Emphasis, Contrast, Proportion,
and Pattern.
DEFINITIONS:
Unity or harmony is the quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of the
elements and principles of design. The most basic quality of a design or artwork, unity gives a piece the
feeling of being an integrated human expression. The princi.

The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practition.docx
The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practitioner include completion of “APRN core (advance physical assessment, advanced pharmacology, and advanced pathophysiology), supervised clinical hours, completion of an accredited graduate program with evidence of an academic transcript, and an active nurse license” (American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, 2021).
The value associated with certification as an FNP is very personal to me. Along with providing higher quality care to clientele, I will have a more fulfilled inner sense of purpose and also be able to provide for my family in a higher capacity than I was previously able to, with an estimated average nurse practitioner salary being over $100,000 annually in the state of Wisconsin. Achieving both my master's and nurse practitioner certification would allow my employer, fellow professional comrades, and most of all; my clients, to have a higher sense of security knowing I’ve worked and studied hard to bring them the highest quality care available. Staying up to date on my continuing education and state-of-the-art processes and pathology will also instill confidence in my clientele to not only continue coming to me with their individual and family healthcare needs but likely will ensure referrals into my practice.
Any time a nurse genuinely takes on a holistic approach towards the practical application of nursing theory, a client is in a better position for patient-centered care, maintaining anonymity, and ensuring positive effective communication during the care process. In the nursing profession, nurses need to not only advocate for their clients, but themselves by participating in associations that work towards advancing the field through by working towards lower nurse-to-client ratios to decrease burnout, leadership education, and opportunity, and also grants to advance continuing education.

ABSTRACT
Creating and running software produces large amounts of raw data
about the development process and the customer usage, which can
be turned into actionable insight with the help of skilled data scien-
tists. Unfortunately, data scientists with the analytical and software
engineering skills to analyze these large data sets have been hard to
come by; only recently have software companies started to develop
competencies in software-oriented data analytics. To understand
this emerging role, we interviewed data scientists across several
product groups at Microsoft. In this paper, we describe their educa-
tion and training background, their missions in software engineer-
ing contexts, and the type of problems on which they work. We
identify five distinct working styles of data scientists: (1) Insight
Providers, who work with engineers to collect the data needed to
inform decisions that managers make; (2) Modeling Specialists,
who use their machine learning expertise to build predictive mod-
els; (3) Platform Builders, who create data platforms, balancing
both engineering and data analysis concerns; (4) Polymaths, who
do all data science activities themselves; and (5) Team Leaders,
who run teams of data scientists and spread best practices. We fur-
ther describe a set of strategies that they employ to increase the im-
pact and actionability of their work.

1. INTRODUCTION
Software teams are increasingly using data analysis to inform their
engineering and business decisions [1] and to build data solutions
that utilize data in software products [2]. The people who do col-

Patil and Jeff Hammerbacher in 2008 to define their jobs at
LinkedIn and Facebook [3]. The mission of a data scientist is to
transform data into insight, providing guidance for leaders to take
action [4]. One example is the use of user telemetry data to redesign
Windows Explorer (a tool for file management) for Windows 8.
Data scientists on the Windows team discovered that the top ten
most frequent commands accounted for 81.2% of all of invoked
commands, but only two of these were easily accessible from the
command bar in the user interface 8 [5]. Based on this insight, the
team redesigned the user experience to make these hidden com-
mands more prominent.
Until recently, data scientists were found mostly on software teams
whose products were data-intensive, like internet search and adver-

The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known .docx
The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known as the global financial crisis, was considered to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
