Document Summary

We can look at phenotype and measure similarities and differences -- we meansure distances. Will not cover ml and bi in this class. Systematic biology -- when taxonomy is performed. heuristically = practically. Assume we know same part of same gene and we can align it for cow and deer -- there"s differences at 73 sites -- known as hamming distance. A matrix of distances -- the common ancestor between the cow and the deer is 0. 075 distance -- milk protein gene beta-casein. Evidence/data = to create a classification/evidence to send organism into a taxa. The simplest explanation is usually correct. i. e. all vertebrates have a backbone. Represent the real things in the real world -- a character state is an organism either having the presence or absence of vertebrate. Can classify every animal on the planet this way. Bio 3ff3 page 3 then, invoke principle of parsimony.

Unemployment data is extremely interesting when broken down by race, gender, geographic area, or other defining characteristics because it tells a very different story than the simple national average data. For instance, when we consider unemployment rates by race from 1978-2006.

(This data can easily be accessed from the bureau of labor statistics at www.bls.gov.)

1. In a paragraph, explain what conclusions can be drawn from the time series data shown above? (Explain what the data is showing.)

2. According to your textbook, the data provided in the unemployment lecture video, and the attached document below, explain these unemployment rate discrepancies? (Make sure to cite the textbook and its page numbers)

Write a resume cover letter for customer service

For this assignment, you should locate a job advertisement from an actual company. You may look on company websites, periodical websites, or any legitimate online job database, such as Monster.com or Careerbuilder.com, to find your ad. However, the ad you choose should contain enough details to allow you to create a specific response. Remember to find the name of an actual contact person if at all possible.

You should then compose a resume cover letter that adequately fits the job description. Be sure to use your own wording, not simply copy the examples. To make your cover letter as precise as possible, it will be helpful for you to research the company and position you choose using print media and/or internet resources, such as the online databases available through Sterne Library. Pay careful attention to how your stated skills and experience fit the job's overall requirements. If necessary, you may embellish your achievements in order to meet the qualifications for employment.

NOTE: Be sure to provide the basic requirements from the ad itself when you submit your assignment, a website address will suffice as well. This letter should be written in block business letter format and limited to one page in length.

Another important measure of how an economy is performing is the unemployment rate. But there is more to the unemployment rate than just the headline rate reported on the news. In particular we are going to look at the U3 rate (the Headline rate), the U6 rate and the labor force participation rate. Go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics On their home page from the menu on the right hand side of the page "Latest Numbers" click on Unemployment Rate. On the next page click on "Employment Situation Summary". The December 2014 report should be available. Read the report. Then using the tables linked from the bottom of the report find: The U3 rate; The U6 rate; and, The labor force participation rate. What are the differences among these measures? Note the percentages of each, what each measure includes and then express your views on what factors may be causing the U6 rate to be roughly twice the U3 rate and what may be causing the decline in the labor participation rate? Is the headline rate used by the most news report misleading? For your information, here is a summary of the six unemployment measures. â¢U-1, persons unemployed 15 weeks or longer, as a percent of the civilian labor force; â¢U-2, job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs, as a percent of the civilian labor force; â¢U-3, total unemployed, as a percent of the civilian labor force (this is the definition used for the official unemployment rate); â¢U-4, total unemployed plus discouraged workers, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus discouraged workers; â¢U-5, total unemployed, plus discouraged workers, plus all other marginally attached workers, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all marginally attached workers; and â¢U-6, total unemployed, plus all marginally attached workers, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all marginally attached workers.
