Description
Serial Killers
For this assignment you will review a serial killer's case in depth. The killer you choose to review will also be the subject of your Week 5 final assignment, so keep your research material handy.
First, choose one of the following serial killers:
- David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam") taunted police over a year and shot 15 people (6 died) in New York City. The movie "Summer of Sam" was about this time.
- Gary Ridgway (the "Green River Killer") holds the American record for most victims. He confessed to killing 48 over a 16-year period but is suspected of having killed many more!
- Wayne B. Williams is believed to be the killer of 24 children and young men in Atlanta, though there is still some doubt.
- John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were the "DC snipers" who shot 13 people (ten died) over three weeks in the Washington DC area in 2002.
- Ted Bundy: Confessed to almost 30 murders (there may have been more). He was known for being smart and good-looking, and acted as his own lawyer.
- Jeffrey Dahmer: His case captured worldwide attention after his capture, mostly due to his habit of keeping parts of his victims long after their deaths, as well as cannibalism and necrophilia.
- Kristen Gilbert: An example of a female serial killer, she was a nurse who killed hospital patients in her care.
For this assignment, create a 4- to 5-page report in Microsoft Word that covers the following points:
- Summarize the case: time period, location, number of victims, etc.
- Describe the killer's background, methods, and area of operation.
- Determine which of the theories from Week 2 relate to this killer and show why you made this determination.
- How did the killer select his or her victims? Was there anything that the victims did to provoke the killer? Are the victims in this case in any way responsible for their own deaths?
- By analyzing all of the above information, you should now be able to propose a three-part typology and explain your analysis. Your typology should describe the killer's motivation, location, and organized or disorganized factors. For instance, John Wayne Gacy might be described as a Power/Control, local, organized killer.

BUS 241 University of Texas Know Your Rights as A Job Seeker or Employee Questions
Research has revealed that many questions asked of applicants discriminate against females and minorities and often are not job related. Hence, it is critical that managers are sensitive to and understand the types of questions, which are legally permissible or impermissible to ask applicants during the interview process, to prevent problems or violations in laws on fair employment practices.
Directions: Answer both scenarios below.
1. If you are the Head of the H.R. Department of a company with 100 employees, how would you respond in the following scenarios?
Scenario 1
Prepare a list of questions you might ask a prospective job applicant so that they do not violate federal laws. Prepare both a list of general questions and questions you would use in a " behavior-based" interview. Answer whether you can engage in pre-employment tests, background checks, polygraphs, and credit reports. List any applicable federal laws on these topics.
Scenario 2
You want to fire an employee who is a female, 43 years old, one of two black employees and who is gay. You seek the advice of your personnel department. What might they say is the appropriate manner to approach this employment situation?

Case Study 1: Transforming the Organization
Case Study 1: Transforming the OrganizationDue Week 5 and worth 175 pointsCongratulations! The executives are taking your information system proposal seriously. In fact, they think it has the potential to transform the way the organization works.The CIO asked you to read Connelly (2016) to think about what resources you’ll need to get your new information system up and running. Please also review the five case studies in (Basu 2015, p. 32-35) so you can recommend a change management pattern for your company to follow.Write a memo to the CIO that describes how to implement your information system into the organization. Please focus on these topics:1. How much of the implementation work can you handle? What additional resources (people, information, time, money, etc.) will expedite the process so you don’t end up like Susie Jeffer?2. Outline a change management strategy: What new equipment and software are necessary? What training and support will the staff need? How will the staff complete their work during the transition period? Do you anticipate other areas of resistance?3. The CIO is very skeptical, so provide evidence that your assessment is accurate and complete. It can be difficult to admit to personal limitations!Your memo should be 3–5 pages long.References:Basu, K. K. (2015).

Rasmussen College Physics Principles Discussion
Competency: Connect the principles of electricity, magnetism, and light to modern applications of physics. Instructions: In a two-page paper, identify the physics principles contained within the following scenario. Explain how these principals connect to electricity, magnetism, or light in modern applications in physics. Finally, consider the different concepts in which James Clerk Maxwell did research, and give an example of one of these concepts in use in your life. For instance, Maxwell's research led to the development of radio waves. If you listen to a radio, then you are using Maxwell's research. Provide another example from your own experience, compare, and contrast your scenario to the provided scenario below. Scenario: Mandy took a trip to Rome, Italy. Once landed and inside the terminal, she turned her cell phone back on, but it was not charged. She found a charging station with a USB adaptor port. The USB was universal, providing 5 volts in any country you were in, and a small red LED next to her phone's screen told her the phone was successfully charging. This USB port seemed to have very high amperage, meaning it charged her phone quickly. She was aware, though, that almost all of Italy's electricity was generated by burning fossil fuels, and thus she was determined after this to use the portable solar charger she had bought rather than wall electricity.
