     Suppose  that you are the HR manager for a company. The judge in a current law

     Suppose  that you are the HR manager for a company. The judge in a current law  suit by a former employee has ordered mandatory pre-suit mediation. Your  boss is unfamiliar with mediation and she asks you to advise her as to  several issues regarding the upcoming mediation. Draft a memo thoroughly discussing, at minimum, the following questions: 
    What are the advantages and disadvantages of mediation? Is it likely to be successful? Is it likely  to make the parties more or less hostile toward one another? How do the  costs in terms of time and money compare with litigation?
    If  your boss has no interest in mediation, does she really have to be  there? Can she send her attorney instead? If so, are there any conflicts  of interest with respect to attorney advocate representation of which  she should be aware?
    Must the company actually participate in the mediation? Can your boss (or her attorney) just sit there and refuse to speak?
    If  your boss (or her attorney) does decide to engage in dialogue during the  mediation, what are the risks concerning information that might be  disclosed? If the mediation fails, can the former employee use such  information at trial?

    Aligning a company’s human resources and business strategies is critic

    Overview
    Aligning a company’s human resources and business strategies is critical when seeking to increase competitive advantage. Some reasons that a business may seek to align or realign their business and HR strategies could include organizational restructuring, employee hiring and retention goals, social responsibility initiatives, and crisis management. The textbook broadly categorizes human resource strategies under internal and external cost and differentiation labor orientations and notes that these can differ based on a company’s strategic direction. Examples include free agents, loyal soldiers, bargain laborers, and committed experts. In this assignment, you will research examples of best practices and frameworks to align HR and business strategies with the goal of increasing competitive advantage and/or diversity.
    Instructions
    In a 3–4 p address the following:
    Research best practices and frameworks for human resources and business strategies.
    Summarize two examples of human resources and business strategy frameworks or best practices.
    Describe two different approaches to how a company can align their human resources and business strategies.
    Recommend one of the approaches for a company that wants to increase diversity or competitive advantage.
    Support the recommendation with specific evidence related to the chosen outcome (diversity or competitive advantage).
    Use three quality sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment.
    including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

    The course objectives indicate that you must “embrace a commitment to continuous personal and intellectual development.” By writing this essay, you will demonstrate your plan to fulfill the above objective. You are asked to set your one-year, five-year, and ten-year post-graduation goals. You might have a clearer picture of what you can see yourself in one year or maybe even five years; however, the ten-year goal might be hard to visualize. In that case, I want to challenge you to dream big and stretch yourself! Use your imagination! below is what I want you to write just expand on it so it can be 800 words.

    Your task is to identify a current (or recent) event that relates to the material covered in that week’s readings and use the readings to explain or respond to the event. How should I understand the event, given what we have read? These response papers should be a page or less in length and should directly engage with and cite at least one of the class readings. Please provide a link or links to the current events that you are referencing. Look for something in Los Angeles where I am from.

    In previous generations, tattooing was something done primarily by those, mostl

    In previous generations, tattooing was something done primarily by those, mostly males, in the military and only to a small extent (one or two relatively small tattoos, such as an anchor on a forearm). Also, women rarely were seen with tattoos and those were rarely visible to anyone who passed by. Today, tattooing has become a common occurrence and many people display large, ornate tattoos all over their bodies. The attitude toward these body adornments has changed dramatically. Explain:
    1. To what do you attribute this change? How do age, gender, and culture relate to the perceptions and meanings we assign to tattoos?
    2. In the video “Darwinian theory of beauty,” Denis Dutton states that “there are many differences among the arts, but there are also universal, cross-cultural aesthetic pleasures and values.” How would you connect Dutton’s statement to the stereotypes related to the use tattoos in your society? How does context affect the use of tattoos? What would be the effects of tattoos on interactions? Provide specific examples.
    3. Your assigned textbook chapter explains the different “functions of clothing.” What function would you relate to tattoos ? Why?
    Steps required for completing the discussion assignment
    Support your points by making specific connections to the readings, videos, and/or recordings for the week. Specifically, include citations or statements from the video(s) and reading(s) covered in the current module.

    Review and use the John Hopkins Appendix H Form actions to locate and identify the best level of evidence to answer your developed PICOT question for the Literature Review (attached the  completed form to this discussion).
    Title the discussion with the PICOT question.

    Initial post: Your post should be within a range of 150-200 words and respond to the following question?

    Identify the level type of category of the evidence for the literature review. 
    Now that you see all the studies together identify the overall strength of the evidence (strong, compelling, etc.).
    Now ask yourself what can be implemented why or why not (feasibility).

    S.P. is a 68-year-old retired painter who is experiencing right-leg calf pain.

    S.P. is a 68-year-old retired painter who is experiencing right-leg calf pain. The pain began around 2 years ago but has become significantly worse in the past 4 months. The pain is precipitated by exercise and is relieved with rest. Two years ago, S.P. could walk 2 city blocks before having to stop because of leg pain. Today, he can barely walk across the yard. S.P. has smoked 2 to 3 packs of cigarettes per day (PPD) for the past 45 years. He has a history of coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension (HTN), peripheral artery disease (PAD), and osteoarthritis. Surgical history includes quadruple coronary artery bypass graft 3 years ago. He has had no further symptoms of cardiopulmonary disease since that time, even though he has not been compliant with the exercise regimen his cardiologist prescribed, continues to eat anything he wants, and continues to smoke 2 to 3 PPD. Other surgical history includes open reduction and internal fixation of a right femoral fracture 20 years ago.
    S.P. is in the clinic today for a routine semiannual follow-up appointment with his primary care provider. As you take his vital signs, he tells you that in addition to the calf pain, he is experiencing right-hip pain that gets worse with exercise, the pain does not go away promptly with rest, some days are worse than others, and his condition is not affected by a resting position.
