“Memory, Cognition, and The Brain, as They Relate to Adult Learners” Please respond to the following:
Recommend key instructional strategies geared toward facilitating the transfer of knowledge to long-term memory. Next, suggest approaches that instructors may use in order to compensate for the challenges of storage information storage and retrieval that occur with age.
From the e-Activity, compare the results of the two (2) quizzes / tests that you have taken. Distinguish the common thread(s)—or lack thereof—that the results yielded. Next, suggest which type of knowledge—i.e., procedural or procedural—would yield the best results with an adult learner like you. Provide a rationale for your response
Use the quotation and your knowledge of social studies to answer the following question. “Finally, in our progress toward a resumption of work we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order; there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people’s money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency.” —Franklin D. Roosevelt, First Inaugural Address. Which New Deal agency related most closely to what President Roosevelt was speaking about in this quotation?
In a 250-300 word response, analyze how communication in groups differs from individual communication. Are there unique challenges to communicating with groups? Provide examples. Use at least one resource to support your key points
Consider the central theme from your Problem Statement, which you have now explored and refined through a Literature Review, Introduction, and Purpose Statement. Although your work to this point may have guided you toward a particular research method or approach, there is still value in examining your topic from a variety of perspectives. Toward that end, one useful exercise involves returning to the triumvirate of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches and creating hypotheses and descriptive questions accordingly.
Refer to Chapter 7 of your course text, Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches, which includes templates you can use to create research questions of each type, as well as examples and criteria related to directional, nondirectional, and null hypotheses.
Use these resources to help you create research questions and hypotheses related to your evolving topic and for one quantitative section, one qualitative section, and one mixed methods section.
After each section of your Application, be sure to note your rationale for each choice and how each fits the criteria and paradigmatic thinking related to the approach.

Subject: Remote Work
Margaret,
Last year, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson wrote a book all about the benefit of working from home. It’s called Remote: No Office Required. In it, they make no bones about it. Working from home is the next big trend in the business world.
Who are Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson? They only happen to be two of the most successful businessmen of the past decade. They are the founders of 37 Signals, the company that created Basecamp, the ridiculously simple project manage tool that thousands of businesses have adopted. So, Fried and Heinemeier Hansson know a thing or two about running a business.
According to Remote, “Letting people work remotely is about promoting quality of life, about getting access to the best people wherever they are, and all the other benefits we’ll enumerate. That it may end up reducing costs spent on offices and result in fewer-but-more productive workers is the gravy, not the turkey.” (Page 31)
According to Fried and Heinemeier Hansson, our organization probably already utilizes remote teams, but we don’t realize it. I did a little digging and, sure enough, our organization outsources its legal, accounting, payroll, or advertising. There you have it. We already utilize remote teams.
“Without outside people to perform these key functions you might not even be in business. All of these activities are carried out outside your company’s walls, away from your company’s network, and outside your management’s direct control—and yet there’s no doubt it’s all being done efficiently…You may be surprised to discover that your company is more remote than you think.” (Page 41)
But don’t take their word for it; let’s look at the data. According to Global Workplace Analytics:
Telework Grew Nearly 80% from 2005—Growth of Multiple Days per Week Employee Teleworkers (not including self-employed) telecommuting increased 79.7% from 2005 to 2012 though the rate of growth slowed during the recession
A typical telecommuter is 49 years old, college educated, a salaried non-union employee in a management or professional role, earns $58,000 a year, and works for a company with more than 100 employees.
A typical business would save $11,000 per person per year
The telecommuters would save between $2,000 and $7,000 a year
So, the direction is clear. Business experts are proclaiming the benefits of remote employees and the data corroborates it. It is my recommendation that we establish a remote work initiative immediately to take advantage of this new trend and to attract the best talent.
I’ll let Fried and Heinemeier Hansson have the last word:
“Remote work is here, and it’s here to stay. The only question is whether you’ll be part of the early adopters, the early majority, the late majority, or the laggards. The ship carrying the innovators has already sailed, but there are still plenty of vessels for the early adopters. Come on board.” (Page 206)
I take that back, let’s let Richard Branson (yes, that Richard Branson) have the last word.
“In thirty years’ time, as technology moves forward even further, people are going to look back and wonder why offices ever existed.”

Five identical quintuplets leave earth when they reach the age of 21, in the year 2121. Each quintuplet goes on a spaceship journey that takes T years, as measured by a clock in each spaceship. During the journey they travel at a constant speed v, as measured on earth, except during the relatively short acceleration phases of their journey. The graph below (Figure 1) shows the value of the term √1−v^2/c^2 as a function of velocity.
