/in /by adminPart 1: DiversityThe 1990s saw a great variety of film music. Choose one of the following movie categories and describe the music and composers of specific film scores: history movies, animations, crime films, and dramas.Requirements:Format: typed with double-spacingLength: at least 3 fully developed paragraphs (200 words each)Use footnotes only if you quote a source.Part 2: Discuss the role of music in a single film. You can choose any film that you like, even if it is discussed in the text. You are not limited to Hollywood films, as international films are acceptable.WHAT TO WRITEYou should choose a film that you enjoy and can watch multiple times. Films are available at the CSULB library media center if you do not have access.In your paper, do not summarize the plot. It should not look like the Viewer Guides. Please focus on the music. Here are some possible approaches:A narrative approach allows you to talk about the film as it unfolds and analyze the music as it appears in the film. This is the easiest approach and also the least interesting. Still, a good paper that focuses on music can achieve an A grade.You can choose some of the basic qualities of film music (see Chapter 4) and treat one or more separately. This places the emphasis on music more than in the narrative approach.Taking a point of view is the most challenging, thoughtful approach. It is especially recommended as a practice for those going to graduate schools. Decide on a point of view about the music in the film and support your view in a logical manner that does not depend on the narrative or the mechanical listing of musical characteristics. Possible subjects: the role of source music in a film; how does music reflect changes in a character or situation; how does music support the theme or message of a film.Best Internet Resourcewww.IMDb.comRequirements:Format: typed with double-spacingLength: 4-5 pages or longer if you use wide margins, big print, or picturesUse a formal writing style. Grammar and spelling will be considered in your grade.A bibliography is not needed; use footnotes only when appropriate.

solved This task requires academic language in the field of law.
/in /by adminThis task requires academic language in the field of law. Lack of this type of vocabulary will result in a rejected paper. This is not a generalized work, but a law paper!
700-800 WORD ESSAY PLEASE DO NOT EXCEED.It is a reflection paper, so no need for outside sources or citations.
DETAILS OF PAPER LISTED BELOW:
In 1963, while imprisoned for participating in nonviolent protests against segregation, Dr. King wrote a response to an open letter from religious leaders condemning his conduct. Today, the Dr. King’s 7000-word Letter is considered by many to be one of the most highly regarded and persuasive essays ever written. It has been the subject of countless academic discussions and journals around the world, and cited as a great introduction to persuasive legal augmentation and the practical application of classical rhetorical theory.
Your reflection paper may address any aspect of the Letter. Possible questions you might reflect upon and address in your paper include: (1) How does the Letter inform your understanding of the relationship between law and morality? (2) What does the Letter teach you about effective rhetoric? (3) What makes the Letter so tactically persuasive and authoritative? (4) How does Dr. King use rhetoric in the service of the common good? (5) How does Dr. King orient specific arguments towards an underlying theory? (6) How does the Letter establish and maintain respect and credibility? (7) How does the Letter effectively persuade readers to accept the underlying dichotomy between breaking the law and respecting the law? (8) How does Dr. King use authorities recognized by his audience to support his argument and undermine that of his opponents? (9) How does Dr. King use structure to prime his audience for his argument? (10) How does Dr. King employ evocative, plain language to convey his message? Again, you are free to address any issue you desire when reflecting on the Letter. For instance, whether and how Dr. King’s claims in the Letter are relevant today. You should attempt to be original and present a potent, and well crafted response to the Letter.

/in /by adminAs online platforms are striving to get more users, a critical chal- lenge is user churn, which is especially concerning for new users. In this paper, by taking the anonymous large-scale real-world data from Snapchat as an example, we develop ClusChurn, a system- atic two-step framework for interpretable new user clustering and churn prediction, based on the intuition that proper user clustering can help understand and predict user churn. Therefore, ClusChurn firstly groups new users into interpretable typical clusters, based on their activities on the platform and ego-network structures. Then we design a novel deep learning pipeline based on LSTM and at- tention to accurately predict user churn with very limited initial behavior data, by leveraging the correlations among users’ multi- dimensional activities and the underlying user types. ClusChurn is also able to predict user types, which enables rapid reactions to dif- ferent types of user churn. Extensive data analysis and experiments show that ClusChurn provides valuable insight into user behaviors, and achieves state-of-the-art churn prediction performance. The whole framework is deployed as a data analysis pipeline, delivering real-time data analysis and prediction results to multiple relevant teams for business intelligence uses. It is also general enough to be readily adopted by any online systems with user behavior data.Describe the development of ClusChurn system.Define ChurnHow did the authors understand user types, what challenges do they encounter?What are the main contributions of the authors’ work?Describe the dataset they used?What were the two typed of features associated with the users?What were the challenges for automatically finding interpretable clustering of users?With the new user churn prediction with high accuracy and limited data, why was it challenging?What metrics were used to compute churn prediction and multi-class classification?Describe how the author split the data?Given this paper focuses on Snapchat data as comprehensive example, how can the used techniques be used for future projects?

solved Six Sigma Implementations Six Sigma is a common quality management
/in /by adminSix Sigma Implementations
Six Sigma is a common quality management practice used to support the businesses improvements on different levels organizational, processes. Numerous successful cases by well-known companies demonstrated this methodology`s efficiency such as in Motorola, Amazon, General Electric…..etc.
In practice, these companies use one of two paths to implement six sigma: DMAIC, which contains five phases ( Define , Measure , Analyze , Improve , Control ) , and DMADV which includes ( Define , Measure , Analyze , Design , Verify ). The first path is covered in details by our course materials.
In this assessment, picture yourself as a Quality Records Investigator. In order to improve a current process, product or service, you were requested by the quality manager to create a project plan using six-sigma methodology specifically (DMAIC).
To work on this assignment, choose a product or service, or process that you think it needs to be improved. Create a project plan that explains the following:
Define Stage : Product or Service Information: ( 150 – 200 words)
Choose either product, service, or process to improve.
State the project scope, two objectives, and the duration.
Identify the project`s team (key stakeholders).
Measure stage: ( 100- 150 words )
Use a process flowchart to identify the current process for your choice ( Inputs , action , outputs)
Choose a measurement for your analysis (Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio).
Analyze stage : ) ( 100 – 150 words )
Based on your process flowchart and your desired outcomes, Define the Sources of Process Variation. (Causes of problem, or non-value processes)
Improve stage 🙁 100 – 120 words)
Suggest no less than two recommendations to improve the current process.
Present at least two conditions that have to be existed to guarantee the project success.
Control stage : (100 – 150 words)
Identify two tangible & intangible measurements that the firm can use to evaluate their performance after the improvement.
In which way the company can help their employees to embrace the new changes (training, reward system…)

/in /by adminHi,
Protect:
Prompted in part by the ideas presented for the technology innovation project, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors has become increasingly concerned about the ability to identify, recruit, and retain the appropriate skill mix for the organization.  The CEO has designated an interdisciplinary team and asked it to prepare an analysis of current trends and their impact on the organization’s human resources in 2025.  More specifically, the CEO relays that the Board Chair has expressed concern about workforce shortages in such key areas as nursing, medical technology, and long term care.
The analysis is to have two components: a detailed document to be submitted to the CEO and a briefing to be delivered to the Board.
Instructions for Paper :
Write a 10 -12 page report, in APA style that:
1) Â Identifies and discusses the macro-trends affecting the health workforce in a region of your choice (e.g., greater metropolitan Washington, DC.(focus on DC area) ), the future of the US healthcare system, including such aspects as the overall economy, demographics, personal lifestyles and behaviors, technology (including biotechnology and smartphones), and federal and state government policies. Note that these factors are neither exhaustive nor are they offered as a mandatory framework; your research will identify macro-trends relevant to your findings.
2) Â Using the above analysis identifies current and projected occupational shortages for your selected region, efforts to address these shortages, and your recommendations for a solution. Â Be sure to explicitly link each aspect with the specific trends identified in your analysis.
A minimum of five (5) references to independent research journals, official government sources, or non-vested technical reports must be incorporated and cited using APA style. (No blogs, dictionary, wiki-pages, or pedia-pages)
Be sure to support your conclusions with the appropriate source material. Conclusions are not just “your opinion.†Each conclusion must be clearly linked to eternally valid sources of information.
