Correspondence Assignment

From your college years, you have hands-on experience with a wide range of social media tools, having used them to collaborate on school projects, to become involved in your local community, to learn more about various industries and professions, to research potential employers during your job search, and to stay in touch with family and friends at home. In fact, without social media, you might've never heard about your current employer in the first place. Moreover, your use of social media on the job has already paid several important dividends, including finding potential sales contacts at several large companies (which you referred to the sales department), connecting with peers in other companies to share ideas for working more efficiently, and learning about some upcoming legislative matters in your state that could hamper your company's current way of doing business.

You hoped that by setting an example through your own use of social media at work, your new colleagues and company management would quickly adopt these tools as well. However, just the opposite has happened. Waiting in your e-mail inbox this morning was a message from CEO Nicholas Meyer announcing that the company is now cutting off access to social networking websites and banning the use of any social media at work for all employeesexcept employees in the sales, marketing, and public relations departments. The sales, marketing, and public relations departments retain access to all social media tools in the new policy. The message says that for other employees using company time and company computers for socializing is highly inappropriate and might be considered grounds for dismissal in the future.

Your task: You fight the urge to fire off a hotly worded reply to the CEO about how social media is used by other departments to support the company's success. Instead, you decide to send an email to your immediate superior Anna Abrams that explains why you believe the new policy should be reversed. Using your supervisor's favorite medium, write an email explaining why Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking technologies are valid and valuable business tools and ask for action within your reader's scope of power.

Note, this situation or scenario is the most complex of the ones you have completed this semester. Notice that you're writing to an immediate supervisor about a policy that someone at an even higher level (the CEO) wrote. For this situation, take time to consider the power levels of everyone involved. In particular, consider carefully what action you should ask for (and how) and what kind of information your primary (and secondary) reader(s) would need to be persuaded to act. Consider, too, how your primary reader might use your message.

What have you gained from studying music appreciation during this course?

Do you think that your learning about music in MUSI200 was beneficial to your thinking about your own life experiences? If so, please explain.

        During the course, what (if any) connections to your life, work, or other pursuits did you make in learning about music?

    After completing MUSI200, what role does music serve in your life?

What do you know now that you did not know before taking this class?

        Have your perceptions of experiences with music changed as a result of the course? If so, how?

A bag contains two red marbles, four green ones, one transparent one, two yellow ones, and three orange ones. You select three at random. Compute the probability of the given event. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)

At least one is not red.

Describe what risk maturity is in detail

Please read the summary below and answer the questions that follow in detail.

What do you think of when you hear the term “biodiversity?” Do you only picture rainforests or coral reefs? Maintaining a wide variety and number of species is important everywhere, even in your own backyard! When a forest or prairie was cut and grass planted for a lawn, the diversity of plant species was greatly reduced. That affected the ability of the area to recycle nutrients and water, provide natural resources, and especially support other living organisms in the community, including you!
The following question is addressed in this experiment: “Is there a relationship between the diversity of plant species and the diversity of arthropod species in different habitats, especially those altered by people?” Arthropods include insects, spiders, centipedes, and millipedes. We will visit several different habitats, measure the diversity of plants and arthropods, and analyze the data to answer our question.

1)   Describe in detail an experiment you would conduct to answer the question in the experiment.

2)   Do you think it is worthwhile for society to spend money and effort to conserve living things like plants and arthropods? Why or why not?
3)   Why is biodiversity important?
4)   What is “species?”

5)   In a community of living organisms, how might arthropods and plants interact with each other?

6) Describe the relationship between the terms “arthropod” and “insect.”
7)   What is an “exotic” species?
8)   What effects do exotic species have on an ecosystem?

9) Can you think of any exotic species where you live?

10)   Why were wheat and oat fields sampled instead of corn and soybeans?

11)   Why do farmers use pesticides?

12)   Do you have a hypothesis about why the relationship between plants and arthropods exists?

13) What questions still need to be answered about the relationship between plant and arthropod species?
14)   What are the ecological consequences of losing arthropod or plant biodiversity to exotic species or habitat destruction?

15)   Do you have any suggestions for balancing our need for growing crops and preserving biodiversity?

Mike was a manager for a large company that serviced equipment in the homes of a national charity. On return from holiday, his team told Mike that his boss had showed them how to fiddle the billing system so the charity would be charged for twice as much work as had actually been performed. Mike’s team thought that this was wrong. He said doing nothing was not an option, but he had no idea who to talk to or what to say and was worried about going above his boss with whom he worked well. Mike is looking for your advice, what would you advise him. - Use what you learned during classes to explain for Mike the recommended procedure. - What are the questions you need to ask Mike about?

You are a genetic counselor. As a genetic counselor, you know:

-Dry (as opposed to wet) earwax is an autosomal recessive trait.

-Red-green colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait.

-Sickle-cell anemia is an autosomal recessive trait.

-The genes for these traits (see above) are located on different chromosomes.

You are counseling a woman and a man, as described below.

Question A. The woman is heterozygous for wet earwax. She has red-green colorblindness. What is the woman’s genotype?

Question B. What are the possible gamete genotypes that she can produce?

Question C. The man has dry earwax. He not have red-green colorblindness. What is the man’s genotype?

Question D. What are the possible gamete genotypes that he can produce?

Question E. The woman and the man are planning to have children. What is the probability that a daughter will have neither dry earwax nor red-green colorblindness? What is the probability that a son will have neither dry earwax nor red-green colorblindness? Hint: Complete a Punnett square
