The next step in the process of acquiring information is to move past what we can think of onto what we can see. That is, we have the way things are done and how to do them but we have not yet touched the work. In this case, we begin by reviewing some information regarding a trend towards bipedalism based on an arbitrary scale. That is, we use diagnostic features we can see and judge for ourselves. Although some may believe arbitrary assessments to be vague or assumptive, this step is sometimes used by those who know about the subject. That is we have spent many weeks getting to the point where you are trained observers. That is what you see matters and you will now “show what you can do with what you know.” This quick step is used to give immediate feedback to guide the path of inquiry. For example, an arbitrary scale can give values which can be interpreted as useful or not. The values can also be added to a graph which may show connections, divergence, and trends. Although the arbitrary assessments may be cursory they can be used to help make predictions. The predictions can aid in a direction of inquiry such as future experimental design to pursue a lead or quickly and simply rule out an assumption. An assumption in science can be either a premise for an idea based on experience, or a prediction based on prior data. That is, the premise from an informed previous statement can lead to inquiry. Informed statements come from experience or existing data. Therefore, an assumption in science is very different from how assumptions are used in daily activities by many non-scientists. Here we may assume that the diagnostics features listed in the drawing plantigrade, digitigrade, unguligrade highlight things of interest in relation to patterns of locomotion, in this case distinctions of speed and power compared to bipedalism. Grade scale x/30 x 20 = score 12.1. Bipedalis.Start with an ABC about each foot grade. Now that we have gone past the basics and the surprise that other animals have very similar skeletal structures it is time to review the basics of locomotion. Later, other forms of locomotion will be investigated in depth, but, for now it is wise to stay with what is familiar and the basic three. On the drawing for anthbiolab.mckendricksj.footgrades.plantigrade.digitigrade.unguligrade above, observe the normal standing postures and note the following for each species A, B,and C: (3 points) On the drawing above note the angle of the hip to the femur by the scribed line(s) down to the caudal line (a line towards the tail) of the hip in connection to the femoral line (of the femur). Estimate the angles of hip to femur by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species: Species A what is angle 1 = Near to 180 deg Near to 115 deg. Near to 95 deg. Species B what is angle 1 = Near to 180 deg Near to 115 deg. Near to 95 deg. Species C what is angle 1 = Near to 180 deg Near to 115 deg. Near to 95 deg. (1 point) Note the location of the calcaneus relative to the point of contact at ground level and length relative to the tibia by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species: Species A the location of item 2, the calcaneus to the ground is- On the ground and shortest compared to tibia Off the ground and longer compared to tibia Very high off the ground and longest compared to tibia Species B the location of item 2, the calcaneus to the ground is- On the ground and shortest compared to tibia Off the ground and longer compared to tibia Very high off the ground and longest compared to tibia Species C the location of item 2, the calcaneus to the ground is- On the ground and shortest compared to tibia Off the ground and longer compared to tibia Very high off the ground and longest compared to tibia (1 point) Note the relative length of the metatarsals compared to the other species by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species; Species A Short Short to medium Very long Species B Short Short to medium Very long Species C Short Short to medium Very long (1 point) Note the position of the pedal phalanges in relation to the metatarsals especially note hooves as on the ground but not the pahalages by selecting the one answer which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species: Species A On-ground- inline On-ground-not-inline Off-ground-not- inline Species B On-ground- inline On-ground-not-inline Off-ground-not- inline Species C On-ground- inline On-ground-not-inline Off-ground-not- inline (1 point) Note the pedal phalanges in relation to the tiba phalanges by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) for each species: Species A On-ground- and 90 deg. On-ground- and greater than 90 deg. Off-ground- and greater than 90 deg. Species B On-ground- and 90 deg. On-ground- and greater than 90 deg. Off-ground- and greater than 90 deg. Species C On-ground- and 90 deg. On-ground- and greater than 90 deg. Off-ground- and greater than 90 deg. (1 point) If a species has an angle of femur to hip bone is closer to 90 deg., then they are better at jumping without a run. Select the species one or more which has that by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping: A: human B: Dog C: Deer (1 point) If a species has a calcaneus not in contact with the ground and has a longer length relative to the tibia, then they are able to have a burst of speed and jump easily exceeding what humans can do. Select the species, one or more, which has that characteristic by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping: A: human B: Dog C: Deer (1 point) If a species has a relatively longer calcaneus length when compared to the other species then they are better at jumping without a run. Select the species one or more which has that by selecting the answer(s) which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping: A: human B: Dog C: Deer (1 point) If a species has pedal phalanges in relation to the metatarsals which are not in line and have less contact overlength to the ground then they are able to have a burst of speed and jump easily exceeding what humans can do. Select the species, one or more ,which has that characteristic by selecting the one answer which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping: A: human B: Dog C: Deer 10. (1 point) If a species has the tibia in relation to the pedal phalanges which are in excess of 90 degrees then they are able to have a burst of speed and jump easily exceeding what humans can do. Select the species one or more which have that by selecting the one answer which fits (delete the wrong answers) best for power related to speed and jumping: A: human B: Dog C: Deer 11. (10 points) From questions 1 thru 5 fill in the table to evaluate which species ranks the lowest for power for speed and jumping. Total each time A species scored a 1. 12. (2 points) Questions 1 thru 5 and 11 indicate that Species A is unique. What are they limited by, what can’t they do? 13. (2 points) Questions 6 thru 10 indicate that species B and C have less limitation and can do what? 14. (6 points) Why is this interesting to learn that humans even when compared to dogs and deer, to say nothing about them to top predators, have far less abilities in relation to their bipedalism?

In “Duet for Bear and Dog,” Sybil Rosen examines the trade-offs that have occurred as humans have created modern, “civilized” societies. Do you believe Rosen thinks that the price of civilization is too high? Compose an essay that defends your stance, referencing specific parts of the play that support your claims. Your thesis needs to make a claim about the piece of literature itself. You should assume that your audience is familiar with the piece, so you will not include a summary. Your goal is to enrich the understanding of your audience in regard to the piece of literature you choose to explore. You do not need to create a Works Cited entry for the poem or story you are exploring. To be clear, outside sources are not required, and the primary support for your thesis should come from the piece of literature itself.

Attend a committee meeting in your health care organization. If you are not currently employed in a health care setting, you may elect to attend a committee meeting at another company, a community center, a local school, local chamber of commerce or other professional organization. Observe the interactions between committee members and the process used by the committee to arrive at decisions. In 500-750 words, describe the function of the committee and the roles of those in attendance. Describe your observations of the interactions between members of the committee and determine whether the process used to arrive at decisions is a form of shared governance.

Choose Two Information should come from chapter 16-32 ONLY Link for the book : https://openstax(dot)org/details/books/us-history Each question is organized around a central theme, but also provides you with the freedom to answer it in a manner of your choosing. You get to decide what information to use AND to leave out). Regardless of the choices, you make regarding the content, you must include a well written, clear, and persuasive thesis statement that is supported by EXAMPLES, which are organized into separate distinct paragraphs. Your conclusion should act as a summation of your claim and major points. Key Terms are crucial events, persons, organizations, or ideas that exemplify an important trend or theme in American history. You can find key terms at the end of each chapter in your textbook. You must use a minimum of 7 Key Terms BOLD & UNDERLINED in each essay response AND include page numbers from the textbook using MLA or APA citations. Choose 2 Questions 1. Discuss how and why various groups of people with American society began to challenge and criticize the nation’s way of life. Were their criticisms valid? What were some of these groups, and how did they go about achieving them? What common goals did Latinos, American Indians, gay and lesbian citizens, African Americans, and women share in their quests for equal rights? How did their agendas differ? What were the differences and similarities in the tactics they used to achieve their aims? In other words, show change over time from the beginning of this course in 1865 until the 21st century. 2. Some historians have argues that the great increase in the size and power of the federal government since the Civil War is one of the dominant themes of American history. Trace the growth of the federal government since 1865, paying particular attention to its evolving involvement in world affairs and the domestic economy. Be sure to support your argument with relevant details. For example; To what extent did the Great Depression catalyze important changes in Americans’ perceptions of themselves, their national identity, and the role of their government? What evidence of these shifts can you find in the politics and values of our own time? Now include the Great Depression in your response but also think of other examples besides the Great Depression. 3. Some historians have referred to the modern Civil Rights movement as the Second Reconstruction. Do you think the comparison between the first era of reconstruction (post Civil War years to the early twentieth century) and the so-called second era of the reconstruction (the 1950s to the 1970s is accurate? Compare and contrast the attempts to create a safeguard for African American civil rights in these two periods. Your answer should consist of government policies, African American strategies, and white responses. 4. Twenty-five years from now an American history textbook will state: “In 1865 the United States was an underdeveloped nation in comparison to the nations of Western Europe. A century later, the United States was the most advanced nation in the world.” Based on your knowledge, discuss the major reasons for this remarkable change this textbook most likely will emphasize. In your essay, you may consider any mix of, war, economic, political, demographic, social, technological, and cultural factors you regard as important. Examples to consider; motion pictures, electricity, radio, weapons,

Details: 12 pt. Times New Roman font Double-spaced 1″ margins Last name and page numbers as headers In-text citations, if possible Prompt: For this exam, we are focusing on Nikki Finney’s Rice and the particular challenge we’ll work on is how to read analytically across more than one poem. To structure that work, I’d like you to begin with an idea or concept (e.g. body, land, family, gender, violence etc.) that you understand to be broadly relevant to the project of Finney’s volume. In the first sentence of your exam, you’ll identify this concept. Then, you’ll formulate a question about that concept that is big enough to be applicable to more than one poem, but not so broad as to be ungrounded in the specific poems that you’ll close read. A question like: “Why is the concept of family important to Finney’s Rice?” is too broad; one like: “How does Finney use the idea of outer-space to theorize Blackness?” is probably too specific to “Mae/I”; but something like: “What potentially non- normative forms of reproduction does Finney think about using the metaphor of the seed?” is about right. Then, you’ll show how two poems answer the question you’ve posed. You do not have to find a unifying answer to the questions across the two poems. Instead, what links your analyses of the poems will be the question itself. If you’d like you can even structure your answer in numbered sections (i. introduction ii. reading one iii. reading two).

1. Provide an assessment of what makes Congoleum a good LBO target. 2. Evaluate the LBO proposal and determine the value of the firm if it undertakes the LBO and compare this to the existing value of the firm. Your valuation analysis (based on the assumptions above) should be the bulk of your report and serve to answer this question. Provide sensitivity analyses. 3. Quantify the incremental effects of the LBO (as compared to no LBO) on Congoleum as a whole, and attribute portions of the sizable purchase premium to: the cost savings in corporate expenses, the step-up of asset values for depreciation, and the interest tax shields. In addition, if any of the value added from the LBO is unexplained by these three factors, explain where you think this additional value may be coming from. 4. Quantify the gains/losses to the various parties involved in this deal, and render an opinion as to the appropriateness of the $38 offer price received by old shareholders. When computing the gains/losses to various parties, make sure to account for the impact of the “equity kicker”and “strip financing.”
