...Analyzing Messages Comm 470 Analyzing Messages The first e-mail is from Erlene M. Clark, who is an assistant professor for the department of Architectural and Engineering Computer Aided Design (A&E CAD) at Austin Community College (ACC). The professor was inquiring about a specific course in which the A&E CAD department had articulated with the high school in which the student had attended. She was trying to give the student the appropriate credit in accordance with the articulation agreement between the high school and ACC. The procedure she was trying to do accomplish was to show a credit (CR) on the college transcript and award the appropriate number of credit hours for a specific course as stated in the articulation agreement. She was experiencing problems with the online server for that specific program in which she would enter the student identification number and proceed to award credit to the student. After she tried several trouble-shooting methods that attached to the general use of the program guide, Professor Clark contacted me. My main job description is to work with the program dynamics, work with the professors on the college level, work with the teachers in the local high schools, and make sure that the correct information entered for the appropriate student. I double-checked the system and procedures for entering the information. I also had to make sure that tasks were complete and finalized before the program had closed. The use of e-mail...

...Mary Surratt, a forty two year old widow had been accused of murdering, Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States. She was the mother of Anna Surratt and John Harrison Surratt, a confederate secret agent. Along with being a boardinghouse owner she was also innocent. By using the sources Chasing Lincoln’s Killer by James Swanson, the movie The Conspirator, and “ Lincoln and the Writ of Liberty” it can be concluded that the death punishment given to Surratt was not reasonable. She was simply accused because her son was a friend to Booth, therefore convincing many people that she was guilty. It was unfair for Surratt to be punished yet despite having her lawyer, Frederick Aiken, she lost the case and pleaded guilty. Till this day people are uncertain whether or not the punishment Mary Surratt received was reasonable, well it was not. The main reason Mary...

...superannuation benefit. At the initial hearing in which the applicant (Carolyn Ashmore) gave oral evidence, only one senior member was present, contrary to the stipulations of the Superannuation Act that the Tribunal be constituted of three members, one of whom is an eligible employee or pensioner. The hearing was then reconstituted with three members, and a transcript of the applicant’s oral evidence was used to ascertain her credibility. Ultimately the Tribunal formed a negative opinion of the applicant’s evidence, leading them to rule against her. By relying on a transcript of Ashmore’s evidence, it was determined by Justice Moore that the other two tribunal members could have been influenced, albeit unintentionally, by the negative bias from the senior member present at the initial hearing. In response to the proposal to have a hearing with reliance on the transcript, the applicant stated she was aware that two of the reconstituted tribunal members would not have had the benefit of seeing her give evidence, and offered to answer any further questions should they arise. Justice Moore concluded that although the applicant agreed to the transcript being used, her...

...As the purpose of the sculptures was to preach and instruct, they mainly depict scenes and figures from the Old and New Testaments. The Chartres Cathedral also contains 176 stained-glass windows, and like the sculptures, the stained glass was intended to be educational. The five windows of the choir hemicycle (a semicircular arrangement) relate in various ways to the Virgin Mary. The rose window in the north transcript portrays figures from the Old Testament. The south transcript, which is representative of the New Testament, has a rose window depicting the...

...Personal communications may include private letters, memos, some electronic communications (like emails), personal interviews, and telephone conversations. The most defining characteristic of a personal communication is that it does not provide recoverable data. For example, when you are conducting a personal interview, the reader would never be able to access a transcript of that interview. Naming the Author of Your Personal Communication When you are citing a personal communication in text, APA asks that you always use the source's first initial and full last name, like this: Full Name | Name in Paper | John Smith | J. Smith | Mary Jones | M. Jones | Even though this person might be a friend or someone you know personally, APA still requires you to use the person's first initial and full last name. This rule applies to every instance where you use the source's name in your paper. Citing Your Personal Communication In a parenthetical citation, use the words "personal communication" and the exact date that the personal communication occurred. Here is an example of a parenthetical citation of a personal communication: Fruity candy is much better than chocolate (J. Smith, personal communication, October 10, 2010). When referencing the source of your personal communication in text, however, you do not need to include the source's name in the parenthetical citation. Here is an example of an in text citation: J. Smith proudly stated that fruity candy is much better...

...Tahzma Wicker Ms.Pescia British Literature 29 October 2015 Unit 1 Essay: Evil in Literature Evil has taken over the world. It is a cynical type of way of expressing yourself. Evil is profoundly immoral. The concept is universal. It is one thing that most of the human society have in common. Evil can come from within a person’s soul, the hatred towards another, and the jealousy a person feels. One source of evil can come from a person’s soul. “By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” (Macbeth, III, I, 44-45) When one of the witches says that something evil is coming then Macbeth enters the room is the witches feeling the evil in their soul. Jim Jones said “To me death is not a fearful thing, it’s living that’s cursed.” (Jones, p. 2) Basically if you have a bad feeling about something 9/10 it’s going to become true especially if it is a bad feeling. Another source of evil is the hatred people have towards another person. “Out damned spot! Out. I say!” (Macbeth, I, I. 25) That is a quote spoken by Lady Macbeth, she is mad because her guilt is taken over so she is mad at herself. Another quote spoken by Lady Macbeth “What’s done is done.”(Macbeth, III, II. 8-12) meaning that she wants Macbeth to be king so bad that she doesn’t want to look back on the past. Certain characters have so much hate towards another that their willing to do the most demented thing to show vile. The jealousy a person feels can also be a root of evil. In the play Macbeth...

...Hemphill, C. Dallett. "Women in Court: Sex-Role Differentiation in Salem, Massachusetts, 1636 to 1683." The William and Mary Quarterly 39, no. 1 (1982): 164-75. This source pints out the fact that men held power and authority over women since the beginning of Salem and throughout its development. The law was enforced by patriarchal figures and women were subjects who were expected to follow it. While Salem was a patriarchal society, it surprisingly also allowed women to testify in court and were active in their duties outside of the household. Women were aware of the social issues that surrounded them. This source shows the shift that occurred in Salem and caused women to eventually feel “economically helpless”. The experience of abuse between...

...The Crucible This essay will discuss, explain and evaluate the main ideas, themes and interpretations of Arthur Miller’s, The Crucible. It will also explain and evaluate the language Arthur Miller uses and how it contributed to the overall success of the play. The Crucible is set in 1692 in the puritan town of Salem, Massachusetts, a theocratic society, where the laws of the land are laid down by the church. The main idea running throughout the play can be viewed as a direct comparison to McCarthyism which was happening in 1950’s America, in which members of the general public including public figures such as Arthur Miller were brought in and questioned over connections to communism. This can be seen as a direct comparison to people being brought into the Salem courts regarding connections with witchcraft. It was not until Miller saw this comparison that he then felt compelled to write The Crucible as he now felt he could get into the minds of those going through similar circumstances back in the Salem witch trials. Hysteria was the main cause of nineteen deaths in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, and countless ruined reputations on account of Joe McCarthy. Hysteria does not just appear out of nowhere though. There are driving forces such as revenge and abuse of power that bring about the irrational fear that can take over society. These are the issues expressed in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. The Crucible is paralleled directly to the Salem Witch Trials and indirectly...

...Case Study Analysis Lisa Tavarez COMM/215 March 17th, 2013 Mrs. Mary Cagney-Carrington Case Study Analysis Introduction Carl Robins, the new campus recruiter for ABC, Inc., has successfully recruited several new employees for the company despite being recently employed himself with ABC, Inc. He has employed 15 new trainees to work under the Operations Supervisor, Monica Carrolls. Carl is inexperienced and does not realize what his responsibilities fully entail, nor does he realize how to utilize effective management skills.

While going through his files, Carl becomes painfully aware of the above and panics. What is he going to do? Will Carl be able to rise to the occasion and deliver what is expected of him, as per the demands of his position, and as outlined in his job description, or will Carl stand to lose his newly acquired position due to his lack of initiative and inexperience.

...College English Name: ________________________ The 20 Rules of Subject Verb Agreement in Standard English (1-4) 1. Subjects and verbs must agree in number. This is the cornerstone rule that forms the background of the concept. The dog growls when he is angry. The dogs growl when they are angry. 2. Don’t get confused by the words that come between the subject and verb; they do not affect agreement. The dog, who is chewing on my jeans, is usually very good. 3. Prepositional phrases between the subject and verb usually do not affect agreement. The colors of the rainbow are beautiful. 4. When sentences start with “there” or “here,” the subject will always be placed after the verb, so care needs to be taken to identify it correctly. There is a problem with the balance sheet. Here are the papers you requested. Day 1 – Determine whether or not the following sentences are correct. If they are incorrect, make the necessary adjustments. 1. There are extra butter in the refrigerator. 2. My mother, along with the other representatives, are going to the convention. 3. A player on the Vikings are going to sign autographs at the mall this Saturday. 4. My sister eat paste. 5. This Tuesday, John, as well as his friends, is driving to the rock concert. 6. Runners on the team is being tested for performance enhancing drugs. 7. Dad and mom yells at me when I play my music too loud. 8. Here are a plate of Oreo cookies. 9.

...Research Critique Part 1 Jenna Franz Grand Canyon University Introduction to Nursing Research NRS-433V Mary O'Connell September 5, 2013 Research Critique Part 1 This paper will critique a qualitative research study published in the Journal of Medical Ethics in 2004, By Dr Helen Aveyard, about how nurses manage patients who refuse nursing care procedures. The article explains how nurses view informed consent as not being essential to nursing care procedures. Problem Statement The clinical problem being examined in the research study is the way in which nurses obtain consent prior to administering nursing care procedures, and the way nurses manage patients who refuse any nursing care procedures. By stating that nurses “do not regard obtaining consent as an absolute requirement” also stating that “consent is preferred but no considered essential” the significance is established and a clinical problem identified.(Aveyard, 2004, p. 346) The author identifies the need for further education of nurses on the need to obtain informed consent for nursing care procedures, and the need for more research of this topic. Purpose and Research Questions The study clearly identifies the aim of the study as “to examine the way in which nurses manage patients who refuse nursing care procedures.”(Aveyard, 2004, p. 346) The study identifies two main purposes for the research study as: 1- To examine how consent is obtained prior to nursing care procedures, 2- To explore the ways in...

Ms. Wilkens: (notes) Mrs. Berry’ body language is somewhat stiff and awkward.

...While some of the department stores covered by this Survey beat our same-store sales estimates for the first half of 2011, some lagged behind. (For details, see the “Same-Store Sales of Selected Department Stores and Discounters” table on the previous page.) Most of the moderate-price department stores such as J.C. Penney and Kohl’s fell behind expectations. On the other hand, discounters such as Dollar Tree Stores and Dollar General reported relatively strong gains in the first and second quarters of 2011. The better department stores such as Saks and Nordstrom have been able to attract upper-income households with limited sales promotions, by offering convenience and a superior shopping experience. These stores are sticking to their core strategies: they are actively striving to come up with innovative marketing programs and customer services, and selling exclusive designer products. (Adams Media Research, 2012) [pic] J.C. Penney and Kohl’s both posted modest sales gains in the first and second quarters. While middle-income consumers are showing reasonable caution in their spending behavior, they’re willing to go slightly over budget when the merchandise is right. Overall, discounters exceeded our same-store sales expectations for the first half of 2011, reflecting stable consumer demand for everyday necessities. Among the big box discounters, we believe Target benefited from an expanded assortment of food and allied categories. We also think the company...
