View a feature film made between 1940 – 1970 you have not seen before (or will see later in this class) by a great director. Many directors were active both before and after 1970 so make sure you see a pre-1970 FEATURE fiction film. Suggestion: American directors such as Frank Capra, George Cukor, John Ford, George Stevens, Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder, or William Wyler. Foreign directors such as Ingmar Bergman (Swedish), Luis Buñuel (Spanish), Claude Chabrol (French), Federico Fellini (Italian), Akira Kurosawa (Japanese), Lina Wertmuller (German) or the British team known as “The Archers” made up of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. For other possibilities, try: this. Comment on the specific film you saw in terms of its genre and the quality of the film itself. Pay attention to the camerawork (cinematography) the editing (montage) and the sound (including music). What did you like and what did you dislike? Why do you like the things you like, and why do you dislike the things you dislike? Finally, is the film successful in creating a work of fiction using the craft of filmmaking and considering when it was made?

Why do you like the things you like, and why do you dislike the things you dislike? Finally, is the film successful in creating a work of fiction using the craft of filmmaking and considering when it was made? (Note: This is not the same question as whether or not you liked it. It is entirely possible to like a film that you are aware is not very good.) Part 2: Draw some general conclusions about the work of the director and one of the main actors or actresses. For example let us say you watched the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia. Did you like David Lean as a filmmaker? Explain your answer. Did you like Peter O’Toole in the role of Larwrence? Why, or why not? End with your overall impression of the film, including how you see it as an example of the its genre and time period. PARTS ONE AND TWO SHOULD BE PRESENTED AS A SINGLE ESSAY! Part 3: On a separate page, insert the heading “My Criteria for Quality in Film.” Under that heading, propose four general statements indicative of your personal taste in movies. These statements should be numbered (1) through (4), and they should be written as complete sentences or a short paragraph. For example, if you commented in your essay that you liked the acting because it was realistic and you liked the script because it had a happy ending, you could propose these two statements as criteria for quality: “(1) Excellent movies feature realistic acting. (2) A movie is more likely to be good if it ends happily.” Think about and then explain what words such as good, excellent, and effective actually mean.

Explain how governmental policies related to the health and/or safety of the community affect the coordination of care.

What is an electronic health record (EHR)?

SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH

Introduction: Use Walden White paper or the CDC 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2022), “Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life… SDOH are one of three priority areas for Healthy People 2030, along with health equity and health literacy. Healthy People 2030 sets data-driven national objectives in five key areas of SDOH: healthcare access and quality, education access and quality, social and community context, economic stability, and neighborhood and built environment. Some examples of SDOH included in Healthy People 2030 are safe housing, transportation, and neighborhoods; polluted air and water; and access to nutritious foods and physical health opportunities”. 

https://www.cdc.gov/about/sdoh/index.html

To Prepare:

· Reflect on the concept of social determinants of health as presented in the resources. 
· Contemplate whether digital inclusion or broadband access should be added to the 5 key areas of social determinants of health.  
· Using the optional outside resources or other peer reviewed journal articles, consider how electronic health records, mobile health, patient portals, or telemedicine can impact and be impacted by the social determinants of health.  

Post?a description of your views on whether or not digital inclusion or broadband access should be added as a key area to the social determinants of health. Be specific and provide examples that support your position. Explain how electronic health records, mobile health, patient portals, or telemedicine can impact and be impacted by the social determinants of health. Support your explanation with the required or optional resources.

The purpose of this assignment is to summarize and evaluate existing “literature” (or published material) in order to establish current knowledge on the subject of homology modeling of proteins. You can use the paper that I posted or use some other from the literature but do not forget to cite them.
What format should you use for the review?
A literature review of formal academic writing includes:
Introduction
Body 
Conclusion
Introduction
· It defines or identifies the general topic, provides an appropriate context for describing the available methods found in the literature. 
Body
· It summarizes individual studies or articles with as much or as little detail as each merits according to its comparative importance in the literature, remembering that space (length) denotes significance. 
· You should not keep the title Body in your report but instead create different titles relative to the content.
Conclusion
· It summarizes major contributions of significant studies and articles to the body of knowledge under review, maintaining the focus established in the introduction. 
References
· Identify at least two sources that could be useful for your summary. They may be news articles, non-review journal articles, websites, software, or any other material from the Internet. Write down the reference citation in a proper APA format.
To guide you, you will find 2 articles about homology modeling, and a very recent research (from 2016) on the modeling of Zika virus proteins.
Your summary should answer the following questions in the body:
1. Define Comparative/Homology Modeling.
2. Enumerate the steps in Comparative/Homology Modeling?
3. What tools/software are needed for each steps.
4. Draw or provide a flow chart of the steps involved in homology protein structure modeling. (you can use an image found online (cite the source) or draw it yourself.)
5. Which are the most commonly used homology-modeling tools/software/websites? 
6. What does template structure mean? 
7. Can we trust the models obtained blindly?
8. What are the possible applications of Comparative/Homology Modeling?
9. Discuss one example of a homology modeling study.

After reading pages 81-196 of Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, why do you suppose that states devote such dramatically different amounts of their budgets to crime and justice efforts over and above differences in population or crime rates?

a) After reading pages 81-196 of Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, why do you suppose that states devote such dramatically different amounts of their budgets to crime and justice efforts over and above differences in population or crime rates? Elaborate. b) In your opinion, should there be uniform national guidelines or recommendations that dictate how much money states should allocate for police, court, and corrections functions? Why or why not? It should be evident that you have reflected upon Mears’ book. c) Next, as you know, Mears discusses throughout this book how the politicization of crime has driven criminal justice policies to a greater extent than the crime rates warrant. Please provide at least one meaningful suggestion as to how politicization can be taken out of criminal justice policymaking and implementation. Your suggestion should be creative, yet also realistic. It should also be evident that you have an understanding of key aspects and terms from Mears’ book. d) Next, in his book, Mears points out that whenever a parent is incarcerated, he or she often returns back to society less able to provide emotional or financial support to his or her children. Given this magnitude of this problem, in your opinion, what can be done to help children of ex-convicts so that incarceration does not indirectly contribute to more crime. Again, be creative yet also realistic. e) Next, in your opinion, is it appropriate for ex-offenders to participate as stakeholders in the development of criminal justice policy. Take a position either way and support it. f) Next, after considering the Systems Improvement Solution policy process, in your opinion, what is one of its biggest weaknesses and how can this weakness be overcome? Be specific. g) Next, please point to one additional aspect of the assigned reading for Week Six that you found to be of interest. Please be sure to point out why this is germane to our understanding of criminal justice policy. Finally, please pose a critical thinking question to your peers. You must also attempt to answer at least one of the questions posed by a classmate. Keep in mind that students should post initial comments early in the week (latest by Wednesday), and post substantive follow-up comments by Saturday. All comments must be posted by Saturday, November 18th 11.59 PM CST. and no late work will be accepted. Good luck!

Discuss how international trade influenced the strength of each economy. Discuss the role of value chains and value-added production.

 
The economic growth and trade competitiveness of countries can be influenced by the economic, political, and cultural development within the country. There are several countries that can be compared to see how a successful economy’s decisions differed from a less-successful economy.
Step 1: Select Economies
Review the pairs of economies listed below. Each pair has 1 highly successful country and 1 less successful country, except for NAFTA /EU.

NAFTA vs. European Union (world’s two largest economic entities)
China vs. India (world’s two most populous countries)
South Korea vs. North Korea (two polar economic opposites, one people)
Venezuela vs. Saudi Arabia (world’s two largest sources of oil reserves)
Nigeria vs. Democratic Republic of the Congo (functioning government and civil order vs. struggling government and violent clashes among factions; note: the Republic of the Congo is not the same country as the Democratic Republic of the Congo)

Research the economies for your chosen pair of countries.
Compare similarities and differences between your chosen countries/economies.
Step 2: Create a Presentation – Evaluate Economic Growth and Advantages
In a 12- to 16-slide presentation with detailed speaker’s notes and visual elements, including graphs and tables, explain how their economic, political, and cultural development since 1992 has influenced their economic growth and trade competitiveness.
Use tables or graphs to support your analysis of the following economic statistics/indicators of your 2 chosen economies through the most recent year available since 2009 (the trough of the last economic cycle):

GDP per capita growth over time
Inflation rate over time
Unemployment rate over time
Exports as a percentage of GDP over time
National government debt as a percentage of GDP

Whenever possible, plot the metric for both economies on the same chart.
Evaluate why the economic growth of the 2 economies/countries varied.

Discuss how international trade influenced the strength of each economy.
Discuss the role of value chains and value-added production.

Analyze how the failure to use value-added trade measures distorts trade statistics.
Examine at least 2 industries that have provided each economy a comparative advantage in world trade.
Cite at least 2 academically credible sources.

The political debate over Net Neutrality has been going on for many, many years now in this country against the backdrop of freedom of information vs. censorship. What is net neutrality?”

The political debate over Net Neutrality has been going on for many, many years now in this country against the backdrop of freedom of information vs. censorship. What is net neutrality?”NET NEUTRALITY IS the idea that internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon should treat all content flowing through their cables and cell towers equally. That means they shouldn’t be able to slide some data into “fast lanes” while blocking or otherwise discriminating against other material. In other words, these companies shouldn’t be able to block you from accessing a service like Skype, or slow down Netflix or Hulu, in order to encourage you to keep your cable package or buy a different video-streaming service.” – Having net neutrality means that companies that provide internet service cannot do anything that would prioritize some information over others or censor any information. Not having net neutrality means that companies that provide internet service can control how information passes through their network, effectively giving them the power to censor information for their customers. Read the following list of pros and cons for net neutrality: As of 2017, the Trump administration changed the regulatory classification of the internet which effectively removed all net neutrality protection at the federal level. It’s now up to the states as to whether or not to create net neutrality rules. Currently Georgia only has legislation preventing the state from entering into contracts with companies that can’t certify their net neutrality. There is no other legislative protections. Find one of your Georgia state government representatives: Write a letter either:Expressing your support for net neutrality and encouraging new legislation that would provide net neutrality protection or Expressing your opposition to net neutrality and encouraging no consideration of new legislation that would provide net neutrality protection.
