...1. The hypothesis to connect the MMR vaccine and autism came from the mercury base found in many vaccines called Thimerosal. Exposure to mercury can cause cognitive delays, language, motor/special skills, and attention deficiencies. To test the hypothesis, scientists gathered a group of kids both male and female from around the world to test them. There were a group of kids that were vaccinated and those who were not vaccinated. The reason why this was a theory is because most kids receive the MMR around a certain age and kids who are diagnosed with autism aren’t diagnosed or show sign of autism until after the age in which the vaccine is given. 2. In figure one there is not much difference between the boys and girls in both the ones who were vaccinated and with the ones who were not vaccinated. You know this because the P value is 0.55 and if it is less than one there is no chance of it being different. Not only that, but the percentages did not vary much between the two. The boys results were 51.3% for vaccinated and 51.4% for unvaccinated. With the girls the results were similar with 48.7% being the total for vaccinated and 48.6% for unvaccinated. For the socioeconomic perspective of the children the results were about the same for both the boys and the girls. The biggest difference between the two was the HIGH categories which the results were 19.5% for the vaccinated children and 16.7% for the unvaccinated children. Another big difference between the percentages was...

...1 Audience Analysis University of Phoenix Aaron Trevino Audience Analysis 2 In presenting any information to a mixed group of individuals it is important that you address all of the issues that will affect each group of people in the meeting. The presentation should be well thought out and possibly have gone through several drafts before completing a final presentation. It is also important to have someone proof read the presentation to ensure that it makes sense and provides pertinent information to the target audience. The presenter should also go through the presentation at least a couple of times to ensure that they are not just reading word for word the presentation. The presenter should also practice the presentation in the conference or meeting room where the presentation will be held. This will ensure that there are no malfunctions with the computer or speaker system that will be used. By completing these steps, will ensure the speaker a successful presentation and will allow the speaker to present their ideas to a range of individuals such as managers, sales people, and customers. When presenting sales information it is important to not overwhelm your audience with just numbers. By presenting just numbers will dull the audience and may not be relevant to the customers. If I were going to present quarterly sales figures to this audience I would first schedule the presentation on a Wednesday morning...

...Employee Privacy Report Name COM/285 August 7, 2010 Instructor Employee Privacy Report Introduction The right to privacy is an inherent expectation of all citizens; however, the private citizen should not assume that he or she is afforded the same privacy protections at their place of employment. In fact, employees may find themselves more vulnerable. Other then the constitutional and legal requirements, employers have more latitude when it comes to delving into matters that some employees would otherwise consider personal and private. Therefore, it is important for employees to be aware of his or her privacy rights in the workplace, including policies regarding use of e-mail and Internet. Email and the Internet undoubtedly has revolutionized the way the entire world communicates. The irony is this technology erodes the expectation of privacy because users expose themselves to personal identity theft and it proliferates illegal and malicious activities such as child pornography; harassment; cyber attacks on personal and business networks; and attempts to steal intellectual property. All of this comes with a personal, legal, and financial cost, especially for businesses. Therefore, to protect themselves from legal action and monetary damages, it is necessary for businesses to implement policies that govern the appropriate use of their electronic systems. A Real-World Example of Email use, Internet use, and Privacy policies To demonstrate existing...

Deciphering what is accurate and creditable requires a closer look. When accessing information, these steps should be followed. First, locate the authors name, look for any credentials, locate the contact information, and what authority does the author have on this topic. Second, take note on who published the site, what links are connected to it and at the bottom of the web page look for the date of publication. Examine the domain or URL. Dot gov means a US government site, .mil means a US military site, and .edu means an accredited post secondary educational institution. Dot com means a commercial for profit site, .org means a noncommercial, not for profit entity, .net means a computer network, and .int means an international organization. Lastly, determine the sites purpose. Is it trying to sell something, persuade you, or just providing you with information. Investigating the areas will aid in evaluating websites. The author may have a PhD or be a professor but that does not make him and expert on topics not related to the field of practice or study. Taking not on the publishers helps determine the motive and correlation to the author. Looking at the date of publication helps determine how recent the information is and when last updated.

...Individual Analyzing Internet Sources Week 2 What did you learn? I learned more than I expected from the Pearson student lab activities. In the first activity I knew most of the information presented, but in the second activity I learned quite a bit about researching a topic. I did not know that the URL .org is no longer limited to a non-profit or research organization; which makes it harder to use that as a reliable resource but it can still be useful. I learned it is important to look for non-bias opinions, information with publish dates are resourceful, research based, and the best domains to find good information on are .org, .gov, .mil, and .edu. Although just because the site has one of these domains it does not mean the resource is accurate or correct necessarily. What did you not learn? Well as I said in the previous paragraph in the first activity most of the information that was present I acquired before. The comparison between the library and the internet are basic knowledge to most people. The Library is based for research purposes, with trained staff to help you, but closes at certain times. The internet has multiple reasons for use, with no trained assistance, but it never closes. They each have great traits that can be used for study. I also knew it is not safe to purchase items online you must be careful when doing this. You need to do research and make sure the site is reliable. Some people think because a paper has a title and author that it is true but...

Dot.com companies were a collection of start up companies selling products or service using the Internet. e-Business on the other hand is opening new avenues of collaboration in the apparel and retail industries, and companies across the supply chain. They proliferated in the late 1990's dot.com boom, a speculative frenzy of investment in Internet and Internet-related technicial stock and enterprises. The name derives from the fact that many of them have the ".com" internet top level domain suffix built into their company name. (Remember why the dot. com companies tanked?) Modell's Sporting Goods is the nation's oldest, family-owned and operated, retailer of sporting goods, sporting attire, for men, women and children wear and brand name athletic footwear. Modells.com (e-Business) currently offers a large collection of products from top name brands in the sporting goods and clothing business and has prospered from its e-business.

The electronic medium (Internet) has reduced or eliminated many costs associated with doing store front business. For example: investment in real estate and facilities are reduced, and certain administrative costs related to these stores have been eliminated. Moreover, the accomplishment...

...if I should sit Alfred Zingale and Matthias Arndt next to each other. It wasn’t that I was worried about conflicting views, actually it was quiet the contrary, and I didn’t want them to be able to double team the other guests. Finally I decided that just because they have essentially the same opinions, I wouldn’t separate them. In my mind they come as a unit because they had co-authored a book. The place cards had been set and I made up my mind that I would do no more rearranging. I bent over the table in my grey sleeveless dress and lit the deep red candles that were extending upward out of the floral arrangement. The guests would be arriving soon and I began to think over the whole situation. Each person has written a book about the dot com industry, how they can be successful as well as how to invest wisely in one. I was hoping to learn a lot of information so I could make a good decision on whether my company would benefit from being online. These thoughts drifted through my head until the doorbell rang. I opened the door to a short plump woman with reddish brown hair in her late 40’s was standing on my stoop. She wore a pale green dress suit, but looked quite attractive. She extended her arm, shook my hand and introduced herself as Anita Rosen. As the only woman who was attending the dinner party that night, it was a given who she was, but all the same she was quite pleasant. John Cassidy was next to arrive. He looked like the typical “guy next door” type. I bet he...
