1.In this unit, we have explored the various parts of culture that shape our identity and perceptions, acknowledging we are
...
acknowledging we are all complex combinations of influences and beliefs. For your first major essay of ENGL 1010, you will examine some of these influences, writing what is called an autoethnography.
Autoethnography is a method that uses personal experience ("auto") to describe and interpret ("graphy") cultural experiences, beliefs, and practices ("ethno"). It is not simply telling a story about your life; rather, it is a way you can help an outside reader dig deeper into how certain cultural forces affect you and why they are important.
Your autoethnography should focus on ONE culture you identify with and include:
• An explanation of this culture to an outside audience (someone who does not belong to the same community). What makes this culture unique?
• Stereotypes, misconceptions, and/or conflicts you have experienced as a member of this culture
• How this culture has affected you and why it is a significant part of your identity

2.Unsure how to answer these 6 questions
Assess the current compensation strategy vs the eight goals of a successful compensation program
...
als of a successful compensation program
Determine (from contextual variables) the most appropriate managerial strategy that should be employed in the organization
Determine (from structural variables) the current managerial strategy currently operating in the organization, with a discussion on how the “gap” (if there is one) explains some part of the issues that the organization is having. The “gap” is the difference between the current versus appropriate managerial strategy.
Apply expectancy theory to identify any issues with pay for performance – are incentives working at cross purposes between key positions? Are some incentives paying out too well in certain positions, while others aren’t paying out at all?
Apply job content theory to the job family or group of jobs to help explain employee motivation issues including why the existing incentives either work or don’t work. Ideally, job content theory will be applied to those positions that will be included in the PKS grid.
Document and analyze the sources and types of reward dissatisfaction present

Research Project & Presentation
Your Task: Create a Google Drive Presentation that demonstrates your knowledge and understanding of significant concepts in
...
your knowledge and understanding of significant concepts in Biology and Chemistry. Describe the relationship of some or all of the significant concepts that you identify through the use of a specific example.
General Format of the Presentation:
Twelve Slides (Minimum).
Two Appropriate and Interesting Videos - length of the video must be reasonable and content must be focused.
Three interactive links must be included.
Appropriate and well-placed pictures and illustrations.
1 - 2 uses of audio recordings - i.e. you describing knowledge that contributes to your
Presentation.
Minimal use of text alone.
Multimedia used to convey knowledge and understanding on each slide.
Content:
3 Big Ideas in Biology - *must include the basic unit of life, the Cell, and why it is important to the structure, function, and evolution of life on Earth.
3 Big Ideas in Chemistry - *must include the basic unit of matter, the Atom, and why it is
important to the structure, function, and evolution of life on Earth.
Specific Example: Pick Your Own Example that combines some or all of your big ideas from Biology and Chemistry and describe how those big ideas affect the structure, function, and evolution of your example.
Example 1: The Ocean
Think of the ocean as a biome made up of non-living and living things.

5.Hi there!
I am currently enrolled in an organic chemistry class and need some help completing our final project. I honestly
...
final project. I honestly do not understand a lot of the material that has been gone over in class and need help finding the answers and understanding the answers to the final project. The project has to do with explaining the molecule Retinol (vitamin A) in a lab write-up format. I will attach the rubric for more information on what is required.
For my project I mainly need help in the section asking to describe the structure of the molecule. I believe i was able to identify the functional groups, the IUPAC name, and hybridization of the carbons. I need help identifying dipoles, intermolecular forces, stereochemistry, and acidity of the molecule. All of this is for the molecule Retinol

7.CASE STUDY - 1
Mr. JD. is an 37-year-old African-American man visiting the
...
he first time. He was
Recently released from state prison where he served an 18-year term for murder and armed robbery. His visit is part of a plan for aftercare arranged by the HIV Liaison Nurse in the prison. He denies practicing any behaviors that could put him at high risk for HIV disease, including having had sex with men or injecting drugs, while in prison or before he was imprisoned. He was first diagnosed with HIV infection five years ago.
Mr. J.D. was married before he was arrested, but he was divorced 15 years ago. Although he has two adult children, Mr. J.D. has no contact with his children or former wife. He believes that they moved out of state. His parents are both deceased. He also lost contact with his five brothers and sisters. Currently, Mr. J.D. lives in a short-term, subsidized, group residence for newly released inmates. While in prison he completed high school and earned a GED diploma.
In prison he also learned basic computer skills and answered telephone calls for the state's tourist bureau, which was staffed by inmates. He plans to enroll in a community college to learn more about computers. He has job interviews scheduled for several telemarketing companies.
His medical history is unremarkable except for sexually transmitted diseases. Shortly after he was arrested he was diagnosed and treated for urethral gonorrhea. His physical examination is Unremarkable.

Case - 4
Kathy met a man, he was charming and handsome. They talked for hours the first night they met. She told him about her last relationship and how it ended with the police taking her boyfriend away after he brutally attacked her. The charmer told her, that he had been single for many years after his partner died of AIDS. She asked him straight up what his HIV status was and he told Kathy "he was clean and healthy". They began seeing each other regularly. She was falling for this guy and him for her. They played safe at first. But as time passed and their relationship grew stronger and began to relax. They had an active social life and enjoyed each other and going out with friends. Life was very good until February 11, 2010.
She discovered a hospital document that had her partners name on it. The document was mixed in with some old holiday cards he had collected and saved over the years. The paper was dated 2002 and stated her partner was HIV poz and had been for 10 years prior. She was devastated! Over the 2+ years they we were together and had the 'HIV poz' conversation many times and he always said how happy he was to be 'clean'. Kathy was tested 2 days later and the results came back positive. Kathy moved out that afternoon- it was her birthday. I am heart broken, confused and angry. Being lied to by someone she loved so much just adds to the pain of having to deal with the news of being HIV poz.
