NATS 1870 N: Assignment 2
Write an Essay About a Dye of your choice: Anything but Mauveine (we have discussed this in class)
For this assignment, you are asked to write a 4-5
page essay (double spaced, 10-12 point font) on a
specific dye of your choice.
In this essay, you will describe:
• the discovery (if known) of your dye
• the type of dye (i.e. of the 4 types we’ve
discussed)
• how the chemistry of the dyeing process
with this dye works.
Include discussions of the following:
• a general description of how dyeing occurs at
the molecular level
• if a mordant must be used with this dye and
why (1-3 sentences)
• why varying the acidity of the dyebath
affects the final colour (1-3 sentences)
Discuss all chemical processes that occur at a molecular level. You will need to research this section. Include all
references in proper format (e.g APA), and quote sourced material appropriately (please do not plagiarize. No
word for word copying from sources.) You should include in-text citations for facts. Make sure you proofread
your work (or have someone proofread it for you.) You may use headings or subtitles if this assists you in
organizing your essay.

You will need to include 2 images with your essay. You must properly cite and give the urls of where
images were found.
• Image 1: a diagram of the molecular structure of your dye (i.e. your dye molecule)
• Image 2: an photo of your choice of a practical application of the dye, i.e. dyed clothing or product
SUMMARY:
A summary of your instructions are as follows:
• write an 4-5 page essay about a specific dye that appeals to you  NOT MAUVEINE!
• Include 2 images: 1 of the dye molecule structure, 1 of applied usage of the dye
ESSAY MUST INCLUDE:
• type of dye (i.e. natural organic, natural inorganic, synthetic organic, synthetic inorganic)
• (approximate) date of ‘invention’ / ‘discovery’ of dye & discoverer (if known)
• original uses
• modern uses
• spin-off science (if any)
• pictures with references of where images were obtained / image credit
• bibliography

 

Ethics of Belief.

Compare and contrast the positions of W. Clifford and William James on the question when can and should we accept something as true. Why does Clifford think that it is always wrong to accept something on insufficient evidence? What does he mean by ‘sufficient evidence’? How come James argues that sometimes it is permissible to accept a belief on non-intellectual, ‘passional’ grounds? What exactly does James say about the religious beliefs?

 

Mathematics
Review each scenario and data set carefully and choose which scenario you would like to work with. Begin Phase 1 of your analysis by including the following information:
1. Introduce your scenario and data set.
o Provide a brief overview of the scenario you are given above and the data set that you will be analyzing.
o Classify the variables in your data set.
 Which variables are quantitative/qualitative?
 Which variables are discrete/continuous?
 Describe the level of measurement for each variable included in your data set.
2. Discuss the importance of the Measures of Center and the Measures of Variation.
o What are the measures of center and why are they important?
o What are the measures of variation and why are they important?
3. Calculate the measures of center and measures of variation. Interpret your results in context of the selected topic.
o Mean
o Median
o Mode
o Midrange
o Range
o Variance
o Standard Deviation
4. Conclusion

Lysistrata by Aristophanes
The extent of comic outspokenness on political issues astonishes many modern readers
(including modern scholars). What is your own reaction to the degree of comic criticism that Aristophanes practices in his writing? Do you see this

kind of comic attacks on individuals
possible today?

Reflect

Who (how many people) should have had discretionary authority to take responsibility to help Viktor Navorski and why?
Does bureaucratic “Red Tape” diminish the esteem to which we hold agencies or governments, why or why not?

You are to write a brief (5-7 page) reflection paper on the ways in which the “normally operating” criminal justice system can lead to wrongful

convictions.
Your emphasis should be on the “bigger picture” of how the cjs operates.
You will consider how wrongful convictions are not unlikely or surprising.
You can use any SCHOLARLY ARTICLES as reference but you should also use these:

Post a(substantive) response to the following text:

Using the example of a governance team following a major change process, discuss a situation in which you were involved. Include the problem,

the team members involved, identification of stakeholders, processes followed, etc. How effective was the team approach? What major challenges

did the team face and how were they resolved? What could your team have done to be more effective?

Peer
I worked as a regional marketing director for a not-for-profit healthcare management company. The company managed several skilled nursing and

continuum care retirement communities (CCRC). One of the CCRC’s, which was a not-for-profit and reported to a governing board, had many

customer service challenges. As a management company, we managed the whole gamut. That being said the customer service issues were our fault.
My boss, the CEO of the management company, met with the Executive Director of the CCRC and the board. We needed and initiative. The real

challenge was to create buy-in among the clinical staff. Census in the facility had been a challenge, due to many external factors, which were

out of our control and led to many clinical lay-offs. This did not sit well with the staff and they were very angry, which led to upheaval.

The board was upset as well and wanted answers. Customer service and care started to suffer, that being said the “We Care” initiative came to

light, but before we incorporated this we had to get the board’s approval. I outlined my ideas and they approved it. I included the facility

directors in the process, director of nursing, social service, admissions and marketing and HR.
It was my job to roll this out to 600 plus employees on all shifts. It wasn’t easy in the beginning. The training was mandatory, and all of the

staff had to be present. I created a power points, led team building exercises, I ordered and gave out T-shirts, buttons, hung banners, held

appreciation lunches and honored those who should have been honored long ago. This was truly exhausting, but these employees deserved this and

so did the residents.
Most of the staff would not participate in the trainings, they would sleep in their chair, to prove their points, but I believe in working with

employees and giving them the benefit of the doubt, so I worked harder, thus changing the course. Instead of educating them on the complete

initiative, I educated them on the census crisis and how it has affected the revenue and how it could affect their jobs and the residents in the

community. I asked them to come together as a team and then asked for their help. I asked them for their ideas, and wrote every one of them

down. I took their ideas to the board, thus begin an incentive program. The incentive program would be paid out to that staff member for every

referral they brought in and was admitted. In return, the census would grow and they would get their friends and staff back. It motivated

them.
While I held the staff meetings, the clinical managers in my company rolled up their sleeves. They worked clinical shifts, taking care of the

residents, and led by example, which gained the trust of the otherwise insubordinate staff. The CEO and Executive Director of the CCRC called

the families and invited them to lunch/dinner and communicated the new initative.
This CCRC was in a small and rural community. Most of the board members knew one another and knew the residents and their families. This was

close knit and we had to fix it, it meant our contract as well. It turned out that the initiative that was intended for the staff was for us.

We had to show “We Care” for the staff to care. After many months of caring, we fixed it. The board was pleased.

Keep in mind posting, should be substantive based on evidence ( concepts, ideas, evidence-based research or practice which must be

cited) and well supported with examples and details (from professional experience is acceptable, but must be substantiated with supportive
