student A Issue: Marsala assigns the balance and the living space of the lease, three months, to a friend, Fred. In Marsala's rental agreement, it specifies that the lease cannot be assigned without the landlord's consent. Is Marsala's claim that Fred is financially sound and should be allowed the full rights and privileges of an assignee correct? Rule: Under rights that cannot be assigned, the contract prohibits assignment, a contract for renting an apartment that specifically states that, "the lease cannot be assigned without the landlord's consent", means that the contract will become voidable if the landlord does not consent to the assignment. Application: There are four exceptions to rights being assigned, and they are; The assignment is prohibited by statute, the contract is personal, the assignment significantly changes the risk or duties of the obligor, and the contract prohibits assignment. Marsala's rental agreement specifically stated that the lease cannot be assigned without the landlords consent. Marsala believes that because her friend Fred is financially stable, he should be allowed the full rights and privileges of an assignee. However, the landlord did not consent to Fred and denied him access to the property. Not only can she not assign the lease the Fred, but she cannot delegate him to live there and pay on the lease. Special trust was placed in Marsala when she did her background check, and signed the lease for the entire year, and the landlord has not had any trust placed in Fred. If Fred does not pay rent in full for the last three months, then his performance varies materially from what was expected by the landlord. Conclusion: Since the contract between the landlord, the obligee, and Marsala, the obligor, states that the contract cannot be assigned to anyone else without the consent of the obligee, and he does not consent, then Marsala is responsible for the last three months of rent, and Fred cannot live there. Marsala signed the contract that had clear words, and agreed to fulfilling her obligation of a full years rent. The landlord has that right to deny the transfer and acceptance of Fred becoming the new renter under Marsala's contract. .

A sublease is when a tenant transfers their legal right to occupy a property to a third party for a specified period of time. The original tenant remains responsible for obligations in the main lease such as rent payments. Many states and municipalities have laws governing a tenant's right to sublease, even if it is forbidden in the original lease. The landlord must typically approve any subletting arrangement.

Contract by minor
Stefanie entered into a 5-year contract with Madam Dora to receive dance training. However, Stefanie was a minor at the time. Generally, contracts entered into by minors are void due to lack of capacity. There are exceptions for necessaries, beneficial contracts, and scholarships. While dance training could potentially fall under a beneficial contract exception, the contract imposed unreasonable restrictions on Stefanie like not allowing other engagements or marriage without consent. Based on past cases, such unreasonable provisions in a contract with a minor are not enforceable. Therefore, the contract between Stefanie and Madam Dora was void, and Stefanie would not be liable for its breach.

5. False: This is the case of unilateral mistake in a contract. Unilateral mistake occurs when one
party is mistaken as to the subject matter or the terms contained in the contract. One party is
mistaken and the other is not. Since only one party is mistaken it may lead to the unfair
advantage of to the other party. Therefore when a contract was entered on the basis of unilateral

B.law.pptx about how a contract is discharged
Here are the key points about discharge of a contract by attempted performance:
- Peter agreed to sell his laptop to John for Rs. 15,000 and deliver it within 2 days.
- Peter approached John the next day with the laptop to fulfill his promise of delivery.
- John refused to accept the laptop without any valid reason.
- Even though Peter did not complete actual performance by John accepting the laptop, Peter attempted to perform his obligation by delivering the laptop.
- John's refusal to accept the laptop without valid reason prevented actual performance.
- In such a case, where the promisor (Peter) attempts performance but the promisee (John) prevents it, the contract is discharged by attempted

- Peter agreed to sell his laptop to John for Rs. 15,000 and deliver it within 2 days.
- Peter approached John the next day with the laptop to fulfill his promise of delivery.
- John refused to accept the laptop without any valid reason.
- Even though the actual performance did not occur due to John's refusal, Peter attempted to perform his obligation under the contract by delivering the laptop.
- An attempted performance, also known as tender, is sufficient to discharge the contractual obligations of the promisor if the promisee refuses without a valid reason.
- Therefore, in this case the contract stands discharged since
Chapter 1_The Law of Contract.pptx
The document discusses the key elements of a valid contract according to commercial law. It defines a contract as an agreement that is enforceable by law, requiring offer and acceptance, consideration, lawful object and intent to create legal relations. It provides exceptions to the consideration requirement, such as agreements on account of natural love/affection. The document also discusses concepts like capacity of parties, free consent, certainty and legality that make an agreement legally enforceable. It classifies contracts based on method of formation, time of performance, parties involved and validity.
Express terms
- A term is a legally binding statement that forms part of a contract, while a representation does not form part of the contract but can provide grounds for legal relief if it induces a party to enter the contract.
- Breach of a contractual term can allow the innocent party to sue for damages or rescind the contract, depending on whether the term is a condition or warranty. A breach of condition goes to the root of the contract, while a breach of warranty only allows damages.
- The cases of Bannerman v White and Routledge v McKay demonstrate how courts determine if a pre-contract statement was a representation or term based on factors like timing, inclusion in the written contract, and importance to the
Classification of contract
Contracts can be classified based on formation, validity, and performance. Formation includes express, implied, and quasi-contracts. Validity looks at valid, void, voidable, and illegal contracts. Performance distinguishes executed, executory, unilateral, and bilateral contracts.
A breach of contract occurs when a party fails to perform their obligations under the contract. Remedies for breach include rescission of contract, damages, specific performance where a breaching party must fulfill their duties, injunction to prevent prohibited acts, and quantum meruit for partial performance. Damages are further specified as ordinary, special, exemplary, and nominal depending on the type and circumstances of loss from the breach.
Contract & agreement
The document discusses various types of contracts and their discharge. It defines a contract as a legally enforceable agreement with key elements of offer, acceptance, and consideration. It categorizes contracts based on validity, formation, performance, and more. It also outlines several ways a contract can be discharged, such as through performance, breach, impossibility of performance, or by operation of law. Discharge by breach of contract occurs when a party fails to perform or anticipatorily repudiates the contract.
Doctrine of Part Performance in Transfer of property.pptx
The document discusses the doctrine of part performance in Indian law. It outlines the essential requirements for applying the doctrine, including a written and signed contract, consideration, clear terms, possession or continued possession by the transferee, and acts in furtherance of the contract. It examines key cases that developed the doctrine in England and discusses how the doctrine differs in Indian law under Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, noting it can only be used as a shield and not to enforce rights.
Competing Parties
The document discusses the legal capacity and competence of parties to enter into a contract under Indian contract law. It explains that minors, persons of unsound mind, and those disqualified by law cannot enter into valid contracts. Any contract with such parties is void. Specific provisions are outlined regarding agreements with minors, including exceptions for necessities. The liability of minors in tort and as agents is also addressed.
Contract Act 1872 - Business Law
The Contract Act 1872 outlines essential elements for a valid contract in India. A contract requires an offer and acceptance, consideration, lawful purpose, capacity to contract, free consent between parties. An offer must be definite and communicated to the offeree. Acceptance must be unconditional, communicated to offeror, and within a reasonable time. If any essential element is missing, an agreement is void. The Act also defines different types of contracts based on validity, formation, and performance. It provides rules for offer, acceptance, and discharge of a valid contract.
LA1040 Contract Law.docx
- The doctrine of promissory estoppel allows a party to recover damages from another party based on a promise made, even without consideration normally required for a valid contract.
- Promissory estoppel applies when a promise creates a legal relationship between parties and one party relies on the promise to their detriment.
- Consideration is not required for promissory estoppel to apply - the reliance and changed position of the promisee can substitute for consideration and enforce the promise.

The Turnip Plaza Hotel Case
Name:
The Turnip Plaza Hotel Case
The case of Mark Piper presents a breach of contract, and there are legal procedures that can be undertaken to ensure that Mark is compensated for any damages resulting from the contract breach. The contract between mark and Edward is fully guarded by the law and thus, attracts remedies for breach of contract. When the offerer breaches a contract, the offeree is entitled to a remedy for any damages or anticipated damages incurred. Edward is an agent representing Turnip Plaza, and it is under his mandate to enter into contracts with an employee like Mark. The new contract offer by Edward made Mark not accept the offer at Huron Overnight Inn, which would offer him better compensation. The new offer by Turnip Plaza Hotel served as a counteroffer for Mark to reject the offer made to him at Huron Overnight Hotel. Since Mark had not yet agreed to Stacey's offer, he had not yet entered into a contract with Huron Overnight hotel, and thus, he was not under any contract breach by failing to take the offer given to him by the company. In Michigan, the case of Mark is protected under the Common Law. Turnip Plaza has a moral and ethical obligation to fulfill Mark's contract and operate ethically, and there must be a remedy for the breach. It is more likely that Mark will win the case if argued under the breach of a contract and the common law.
Legal Theories
The formation of a contract entails the willful decision of two parties. Contracts are governed by Uniform Commercial Code or the common law. Employment contracts and promises are governed by common law in the United States. A contract has three major components that must be fulfilled: an offer, an acceptance, and an exchange of value between the two parties (Contract Law, n.d). A contract that is entered into with the three legal components is enforceable, provided that it is a legal contract. Mark and Turnip Plaza Hotel's case is a contract protected by the common law, and thus, Mark can sue the hotel for breach of contract. Edward promised Mark a promotion the following month if he stayed in Turnip Plaza and a two-year contract. Mark accepted the offer made by Edward on behalf of Turnip Plaza Hotel, and there was an intended exchange of services between the two parties. The agreement thus fulfilled the three critical components of a contract which made it a contract. However, Mark was dismissed just before the start of his new contract. This amounted to a breach of the contract terms.
A contract can be made in different ways. A contract can be verbally made without being documented or can also be made through the two parties' contact. Although, there was no written agreement between Mark and Edward that does not nullify the contract under the common law. Mark can further prove that his contract was legal in the court by arguing on the type of contract they entered with Edward on behalf of Turnip Plaza Hotel. Mark ca ...

Lecture 7
The document discusses the legality of objects in agreements under Indian law. It provides examples of when an object would be considered unlawful or void. Specifically:
1) The object is unlawful if it is forbidden by law, contravenes statutes, or is meant to defraud authorities.
2) The object is void if it implies injury to persons or property, is regarded as immoral, or is opposed to public policy - such as restraint of trade beyond reasonable limits or personal liberties.
3) Exceptions where restraint of trade may be valid include sale of goodwill and partners' or service agreements, but similar restraints after termination of service are void.
discharge of contract
This document discusses various modes of discharging a contract, including performance, agreement, impossibility, lapse of time, operation of law, and breach. It notes that a contract can be discharged through actual or tendered performance, novation, alteration, rescission, remission, or waiver. A contract may also be discharged if the purpose fails or becomes impossible or unlawful to perform due to destruction of the subject matter, failure of purpose, death or incapacity of a person, or change in law. Breach of contract, either actual or anticipatory, also discharges a contract.

Chapter 12 – From the chapter reading, we learned that e-mail is a major area of focus for information governance (IG) efforts, and has become the most common business software application and the backbone of business communications today. In addition, the authors provided details to support their position by providing 2013 survey results from 2,400 corporate e-mail users from a global perspective. The results indicated that two-thirds of the respondents stated that e-mail was their favorite form of business communication which surpassed not only social media but also telephone and in-person contact.
Q1: With this detail in mind, briefly state why the e-Mail has become a critical component for IG implementation?

Essentials of valid contract
An agreement only becomes a legally binding contract if it meets certain essential requirements. There must be an offer and acceptance, consideration so that both parties receive something of value, lawful capacity and consent of the parties, a lawful objective, certainty in terms, and possibility of performance. Some key elements include offer and acceptance to create mutual assent, lawful consideration where both sides exchange something of value, and capacity and consent where parties are able to enter into agreements of their own free will.

B.law.pptx about how a contract is discharged
Here are the key points about discharge of a contract by attempted performance:
- Peter agreed to sell his laptop to John for Rs. 15,000 and deliver it within 2 days.
- Peter approached John the next day with the laptop to fulfill his promise of delivery.
- John refused to accept the laptop without any valid reason.
- Even though Peter did not complete actual performance by John accepting the laptop, Peter attempted to perform his obligation by delivering the laptop.
- John's refusal to accept the laptop without valid reason prevented actual performance.
- In such a case, where the promisor (Peter) attempts performance but the promisee (John) prevents it, the contract is discharged by attempted

Here are the key points about discharge of a contract by attempt of performance:
- Peter agreed to sell his laptop to John for Rs. 15,000 and deliver it within 2 days.
- Peter approached John the next day with the laptop to fulfill his promise of delivery.
- John refused to accept the laptop without any valid reason.
- Even though the actual performance did not occur due to John's refusal, Peter attempted to perform his obligation under the contract by delivering the laptop.
- An attempted performance, also known as tender, is sufficient to discharge the contractual obligations of the promisor if the promisee refuses without a valid reason.
- Therefore, in this case the contract stands discharged since
Chapter 1_The Law of Contract.pptx
The document discusses the key elements of a valid contract according to commercial law. It defines a contract as an agreement that is enforceable by law, requiring offer and acceptance, consideration, lawful object and intent to create legal relations. It provides exceptions to the consideration requirement, such as agreements on account of natural love/affection. The document also discusses concepts like capacity of parties, free consent, certainty and legality that make an agreement legally enforceable. It classifies contracts based on method of formation, time of performance, parties involved and validity.
Express terms
- A term is a legally binding statement that forms part of a contract, while a representation does not form part of the contract but can provide grounds for legal relief if it induces a party to enter the contract.
- Breach of a contractual term can allow the innocent party to sue for damages or rescind the contract, depending on whether the term is a condition or warranty. A breach of condition goes to the root of the contract, while a breach of warranty only allows damages.
- The cases of Bannerman v White and Routledge v McKay demonstrate how courts determine if a pre-contract statement was a representation or term based on factors like timing, inclusion in the written contract, and importance to the
Classification of contract
Contracts can be classified based on formation, validity, and performance. Formation includes express, implied, and quasi-contracts. Validity looks at valid, void, voidable, and illegal contracts. Performance distinguishes executed, executory, unilateral, and bilateral contracts.
A breach of contract occurs when a party fails to perform their obligations under the contract. Remedies for breach include rescission of contract, damages, specific performance where a breaching party must fulfill their duties, injunction to prevent prohibited acts, and quantum meruit for partial performance. Damages are further specified as ordinary, special, exemplary, and nominal depending on the type and circumstances of loss from the breach.
Contract & agreement
The document discusses various types of contracts and their discharge. It defines a contract as a legally enforceable agreement with key elements of offer, acceptance, and consideration. It categorizes contracts based on validity, formation, performance, and more. It also outlines several ways a contract can be discharged, such as through performance, breach, impossibility of performance, or by operation of law. Discharge by breach of contract occurs when a party fails to perform or anticipatorily repudiates the contract.
Doctrine of Part Performance in Transfer of property.pptx
The document discusses the doctrine of part performance in Indian law. It outlines the essential requirements for applying the doctrine, including a written and signed contract, consideration, clear terms, possession or continued possession by the transferee, and acts in furtherance of the contract. It examines key cases that developed the doctrine in England and discusses how the doctrine differs in Indian law under Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, noting it can only be used as a shield and not to enforce rights.
Competing Parties
The document discusses the legal capacity and competence of parties to enter into a contract under Indian contract law. It explains that minors, persons of unsound mind, and those disqualified by law cannot enter into valid contracts. Any contract with such parties is void. Specific provisions are outlined regarding agreements with minors, including exceptions for necessities. The liability of minors in tort and as agents is also addressed.
Contract Act 1872 - Business Law
The Contract Act 1872 outlines essential elements for a valid contract in India. A contract requires an offer and acceptance, consideration, lawful purpose, capacity to contract, free consent between parties. An offer must be definite and communicated to the offeree. Acceptance must be unconditional, communicated to offeror, and within a reasonable time. If any essential element is missing, an agreement is void. The Act also defines different types of contracts based on validity, formation, and performance. It provides rules for offer, acceptance, and discharge of a valid contract.
LA1040 Contract Law.docx
- The doctrine of promissory estoppel allows a party to recover damages from another party based on a promise made, even without consideration normally required for a valid contract.
- Promissory estoppel applies when a promise creates a legal relationship between parties and one party relies on the promise to their detriment.
- Consideration is not required for promissory estoppel to apply - the reliance and changed position of the promisee can substitute for consideration and enforce the promise.

The Turnip Plaza Hotel Case
Name:
The Turnip Plaza Hotel Case
The case of Mark Piper presents a breach of contract, and there are legal procedures that can be undertaken to ensure that Mark is compensated for any damages resulting from the contract breach. The contract between mark and Edward is fully guarded by the law and thus, attracts remedies for breach of contract. When the offerer breaches a contract, the offeree is entitled to a remedy for any damages or anticipated damages incurred. Edward is an agent representing Turnip Plaza, and it is under his mandate to enter into contracts with an employee like Mark. The new contract offer by Edward made Mark not accept the offer at Huron Overnight Inn, which would offer him better compensation. The new offer by Turnip Plaza Hotel served as a counteroffer for Mark to reject the offer made to him at Huron Overnight Hotel. Since Mark had not yet agreed to Stacey's offer, he had not yet entered into a contract with Huron Overnight hotel, and thus, he was not under any contract breach by failing to take the offer given to him by the company. In Michigan, the case of Mark is protected under the Common Law. Turnip Plaza has a moral and ethical obligation to fulfill Mark's contract and operate ethically, and there must be a remedy for the breach. It is more likely that Mark will win the case if argued under the breach of a contract and the common law.
Legal Theories
The formation of a contract entails the willful decision of two parties. Contracts are governed by Uniform Commercial Code or the common law. Employment contracts and promises are governed by common law in the United States. A contract has three major components that must be fulfilled: an offer, an acceptance, and an exchange of value between the two parties (Contract Law, n.d). A contract that is entered into with the three legal components is enforceable, provided that it is a legal contract. Mark and Turnip Plaza Hotel's case is a contract protected by the common law, and thus, Mark can sue the hotel for breach of contract. Edward promised Mark a promotion the following month if he stayed in Turnip Plaza and a two-year contract. Mark accepted the offer made by Edward on behalf of Turnip Plaza Hotel, and there was an intended exchange of services between the two parties. The agreement thus fulfilled the three critical components of a contract which made it a contract. However, Mark was dismissed just before the start of his new contract. This amounted to a breach of the contract terms.
A contract can be made in different ways. A contract can be verbally made without being documented or can also be made through the two parties' contact. Although, there was no written agreement between Mark and Edward that does not nullify the contract under the common law. Mark can further prove that his contract was legal in the court by arguing on the type of contract they entered with Edward on behalf of Turnip Plaza Hotel. Mark ca ...

Lecture 7
The document discusses the legality of objects in agreements under Indian law. It provides examples of when an object would be considered unlawful or void. Specifically:
1) The object is unlawful if it is forbidden by law, contravenes statutes, or is meant to defraud authorities.
2) The object is void if it implies injury to persons or property, is regarded as immoral, or is opposed to public policy - such as restraint of trade beyond reasonable limits or personal liberties.
3) Exceptions where restraint of trade may be valid include sale of goodwill and partners' or service agreements, but similar restraints after termination of service are void.
discharge of contract
This document discusses various modes of discharging a contract, including performance, agreement, impossibility, lapse of time, operation of law, and breach. It notes that a contract can be discharged through actual or tendered performance, novation, alteration, rescission, remission, or waiver. A contract may also be discharged if the purpose fails or becomes impossible or unlawful to perform due to destruction of the subject matter, failure of purpose, death or incapacity of a person, or change in law. Breach of contract, either actual or anticipatory, also discharges a contract.

Chapter 12 – From the chapter reading, we learned that e-mail is a major area of focus for information governance (IG) efforts, and has become the most common business software application and the backbone of business communications today. In addition, the authors provided details to support their position by providing 2013 survey results from 2,400 corporate e-mail users from a global perspective. The results indicated that two-thirds of the respondents stated that e-mail was their favorite form of business communication which surpassed not only social media but also telephone and in-person contact.

Strengths-based nursing (SBN) is an approach to care in which eigh.docx
Strengths-based nursing (SBN) is an approach to care in which eight core values which guide nursing action, thereby promoting empowerment, hope and self-efficacy. In caring for patients and families, the nurse focuses on their inner and outer strengths-that is, on what patients and families do that best helps them deal with problems and minimize deficits. SBN creating environments and experiences that better enable patients and their families to take control over their lives and health care decisions.
SBN respects a person's self-knowledge and values choice and self-determination, even though there are always limits to the choices available and a person's ability to act in her or his own interest is affected by circumstances, knowledge, and predisposition. it is as important to consider patients' deficits as it is to consider their strengths; both are essential aspects of the whole person. The current health care system is changing into a new system that focuses more on community-based and primary care with the hospitals forming the pillar of the health care system although they are not the primary service (Lind and Smith, 2008). This change has brought about a strength based nursing care which is aimed at developing an individual’s strength to encourage and help in healing. From the perspective of SBN, the nurse's role is to help patients achieve their goals in the healthiest possible way.
SBN sees the nurse's role not as deciding for others but rather as listening attentively and deeply in order to clarify, elaborate, explain, provide information, make suggestions, connect people with resources, and advocate for patients and their families so they may hear their own voices and make their voices heard. Strengths-Based Care (SBC) requires that the nurse use a process to uncover the person’s concerns, get to know the patient and members of the family as individuals, and discover their strengths in order to plan and carry out nursing care.
Nurses require strong nursing leadership to enable them practice strength-based nursing care. Strength based nursing care has a prospective of becoming a game changer in nursing and also revolutionize healthcare. In this approach the focus is redirected from shortages and crisis to use of strength of resources to deal with problems and overcome any shortcomings (Gottlieb, 2012). The medical model need not be a deficit model. The two are not mutually exclusive. Physicians can diagnose and treat problems and also have a strengths perspective and practice whole-person care.

To complete this assignment, perform the following tasks:
Using newspapers, news websites, or news magazines, select three current events (within the last six months) that reflect our studies on stratification. One event should represent racial issues, one gender issues, and one class issues. All three should demonstrate discrimination and/or stratification in American society.
Using your research, describe the current events and how they are reflective of your studies on racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification.
Analyze the events and apply the lecture and text to the news articles. What theories of stratification apply? Are the current events representative of the historical trends of racial, gender, and class discrimination and or/stratification? What solutions, if any, should be applied to these current events?
In your discussion, apply your personal experiences and observations to the current events.
How do you feel that the media perpetuates discrimination and/or stratification based on race, gender, and class? Support your ideas with concepts from the text and/or appropriate outside resources.
Provide a minimum of three references and apply the correct APA standards in the format of text, citations, and references. Your paper should include a title page and reference. Your paper should be at least five pages in length, not including the title and reference pages.

Street Code
Consider this quote from Robert Sampson and William Julius Wilson in
Toward a Theory of Race, Crime, and Urban Inequality:
Shaw and McKay (1942) argued that three structural factors -- low economic status, ethnic heterogeneity, and residential mobility -- led to the disruption of local community social organization, which in turn accounted for variations in crime and delinquency rates... Arguably the most significant aspect of Shaw and McKay's research, however, was their demonstration that high rates of delinquency persisted in certain areas over many years, regardless of population turnover. More than any other, this finding led them to reject individualistic explanations of delinquency and focus instead on the processes by which delinquent and criminal patterns of behavior were transmitted across generations in areas of social disorganization and weak social controls (1942, 1969).
This is the "macrosocial" view that Sampson and Wilson discuss, that crime cannot be attributed solely to individual-level (microsocial) factors. Thinking back over the theories we've studied this term, what society-level factors do you think affect crime? And why would such factors impact different races/ethnicities differently? Is it differences in social disorganization (Shaw & McKay)? Is it the "code of the street" (Anderson)? Limited access to legitimate coping mechanisms when faced with strain (Merton, Agnew)? Get creative!

Strengths and Barriers to Program Implementation As you de.docx
Strengths and Barriers to Program Implementation
As you design your program, it is important to anticipate potential issues related to program implementation. Careful forethought can help you to minimize unnecessary stumbling blocks during implementation.
There are strengths and barriers associated with every program. What do you see as the key factors to be aware of for your program? Brainstorm key terms such as
community, culture, environment, organization, client, bias,
and
ethics
. Give consideration to the factors you come up with
(along with those in the Learning Resources)
as you proceed with this Discussion.
To prepare:
Review the information presented in the Learning Resources. What are some of the factors (e.g., community, organization, environmental, ethical) that you consider strengths or facilitators for your program (breast cancer in African American women in the USA)?
Which ones do you think may pose a challenge for your program(breast cancer in African American women in the USA)?
How do these barriers need to be addressed in your program design?
How might the strengths be leveraged to help overcome the barriers?
By tomorrow Wednesday 01/02/19 2 pm post a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with a minimum of 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below.

Strengths: 1. Large Enrollment 2. Flexible class schedules
1. The Apollo Group is the largest provider of higher education for adults seeking an associates’, bachelors’, or masters’ degree. The University of Phoenix has over 400,000 students enrolled in one of their many degree programs. The revenues of the Apollo Group have increased by $4.9 billion and its profits increased to $553 million since 1996. 2. The Apollo Group offers classes that are catered around the schedules of working adults. Classes are offered year round with minimal breaks between semesters. Most students take one class twice a week for five to six weeks in the evenings. Classes are also offered online for students who do not wish to participate in the traditional classroom learning environment.
Weaknesses: 1. Accreditation 2. Lack of Qualified Instructors
1. The University of Phoenix (UOP) is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. This accreditation is sufficient in most states, but some states require other accreditations from that particular state. The Bachelors’ and Masters’ programs in business offered by UOP are not accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The AACSB is the most highly recognized accreditation in the industry. By not receiving this accreditation, students who receive degrees from UOP may not be considered for positions in the business industry. 2. UOP utilizes facilitators to facilitate or lead seminar style classrooms. Most classes are comprised of 10-15 students and those students are broken up into groups of 5. Most assignments are group assignments. The class facilitator leads the discussions and guides the class through the curriculum. The facilitators are the instructors for the class. UOP does not hire or employ professors with Doctoral Degrees in order to keep their labor cost down. When a college does not employ doctoral level instructors the quality of education is impaired.
Opportunities: 1. Perceived as a low quality diploma mill. 2. Lack of doctoral staff
These two opportunities for the University of Phoenix are intertwined. The degree programs at UOP are viewed as low quality diploma mills because they do not employ a large number of doctoral level instructors on their campuses. The class room curriculum is developed by the class facilitators. Those facilitators are not considered qualified in the education arena to develop such curriculums for bachelor and master level degree programs. Therefore, UOP is viewed as a for profit educational college that enrolls students in a degree program that does not equip them to handle the challenges they will face in the real world. It is a weakness, because in some states the graduates will not considered for a position in their field of study because UOP is not accredited.
Threats: 1. Competition. 2. Regulatory Issues
1. UOP faces more competition now as more public and private sector universities are now offering adult degree programs and online.
Street artist Shepard Fairey, who was graduated from the Rhode I.docx
Street artist Shepard Fairey, who was graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, and the nation’s largest news wire service, The Associated Press (A.P.), sued each other over who owns the right to use and sell a well-recognized photograph image of President Obama. The A.P. claims that Fairey is profiting from a photo taken by a freelance photographer, Mannie Garcia, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Fairey used the photograph as inspiration for his familiar “HOPE” poster, which became an unofficial symbol of the Obama presidential campaign.
Fairey claims that he simply used the A.P. photo “as a visual reference” and that his poster transforms the image in Garcia’s picture into a brand-new work of art with its own copyright protection.
The U.S. Copyright Code gives the creator of a photograph (or any kind of creative work, including movies, books, articles and songs) – the legal right to limit how other people can use the photo.
Background
A photograph, like any piece of creative work, becomes protected by copyright as soon as it is “fixed.” That means, as soon as the image is recorded in the photographer’s camera. The photo does not have to be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office or marked with the (c) copyright symbol to be legally protected.
When a photo is copyrighted, that means that the owner has the right to decide how other people use it. A wire service like The Associated Press makes its money by charging newspapers, magazines, broadcasters, and websites a fee to use its photographs. So, the A.P. is very protective about making sure that people are not duplicating or reselling its photos without a license and paying.
Photos are protected by copyright even when they are placed on the Web in a way that makes it very easy to duplicate them. An owner does not give up his copyright just by displaying the photo on a website.
If a person is accused of violating copyright law (“copyright infringement”), he can defend himself by proving that he made a “
fair use
.” The federal copyright law recognizes a “fair use” defense to allow people to make limited use of other people’s creative work, as long as they add some new creative value or meaning. Common examples of fair use are sampling a phrase from a popular song recording as part of a new song, or showing a brief clip from a movie to go along with a movie review.
To decide whether someone’s use of another person’s creative work is or isn’t a fair use, there are four points to consider:
Section 107 of the Copyright Act
defines fair use as follows:
[T]he fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factor.

STREAM MORPHOLOGY
Overview
Students will construct a physical scale model of a stream system
to help understand how streams and rivers shape the solid earth
(i.e., the landscape). Students will perform several experiments
to determine streamflow properties under different conditions.
They will apply the scientific method, testing their own scenarios
regarding human impacts to river systems.
Outcomes
• Design a stream table model to analyze the different
characteristics of streamflow.
• Explain the effects of watersheds on the surrounding
environment in terms of the biology, water quality, and economic
importance of streams.
• Identify different stream features based on their geological
formation due to erosion and deposition.
• Develop an experiment to test how human actions can modify
stream morphology in ways that may, in turn, impact riparian
ecosystems.

Background
A watershed is an area of land that drains
any form of precipitation into the earth’s water
bodies (see Figure 1). The entire land area that
forms this connection of atmospheric water to
the water on Earth, whether it is rain flowing into
a lake or snow soaking into the groundwater, is
considered a watershed.
Water covers approximately 70% of the earth’s
surface. However, about two-thirds of all water
is impaired to some degree, with less than
1% being accessible, consumable freshwater.
Keeping watersheds pristine is the leading
method for providing clean drinking water to
communities, and it is a high priority worldwide.
However, with increased development and
people flocking toward waterfront regions to live,
downstream communities are becoming increas-
ingly polluted every day.

Why urgency—not panic—is the key
to getting ahead in a recession
John Kotter got an enviable—if
unintentional—endorsement when
then-candidiitc liarack Obama began
inserting the phrase it sense ofurgeney
into his comments about the economy.
A Sense ofUrgeney (Harvard Business
Press, 2008) is the title of Kotter s
latest book on fostering change in
organizations—a subject the Harvard
Business School professor has owned
since publishing the seminal Leading
Change, in 1996.
Kotter believes there arc two kinds
of urgency—and, like cholesterol, one
is good and one is bad. The good kind
is characterized by constant scrutiny of
external promise and peril. It involves
relentless focus on doing only those
things that move the business forward in
the marketplace and on doing them right
now, if not sooner. 'I'he bad kind—to
which many companies have recently
succumbed^—is panic driven and charac-
terized by breathless activity that winds
up prodticing nothing demonstrably new,
Kotter advises leaders to stamp out
the bad urgency, which demoralizes and
drains people, and use the^—tiare we say
it?—opportunity of the economic crisis
to remake their organizations with a lean
and hungry look. And he encourages
them to sustain that newfound urgency
even when flush times return. Editor-at-
large I.eigh Fiuchanan spoke with Kotter
about his urgent call to urgency.
Samue! Johnson said nothing focuses
the mind like a hanging. Has that
happened with the recession? Has
it focused the minds of company
leaders and created the sense of
urgency you advocate?
1
Relentless Leadership guru John Kotter, author of 4 Sense oí Urgency,
says you should be doing something right now, today this very moment,
to move your company forward.
I wish that it had. Many companies
probably think they're responding with
urgency, and there are certainly a lot ot
people running aroujid tr)ing to come up
with solutions. But most ofthat activity is
going to be ineffectual, because it is driven
by a fear of losing. It's not that gut-level
determination to win and to make abso-
lutely sure that they do something every
single day to keep pushing that goal
forward. That's true urgency.
How can you distinguish good urgency
fronn bad urgency?
There are lots of signs of false urgency.
Frenetic activity. Everyone is exhausted,
working 14-hour days. One red flag is
how difficult it is to schedule a meeting.
With true urgency, people leave lots of
white space on their calendars, because
they recognize that the important
stuft^—the stuff they need to deal with
immediately—is going to happen. If

Strategies for Change
Week 7: "The Hard Side of Change Management"
Change is a challenge. This isn’t news. We focus on all the elements that may stand in our way such as human resistance, poor leadership, or lack of motivation. But sometimes we get so wrapped up in these soft elements of change that we overlook the nuts and bolts, the hard elements that are important to making change successful.
Initial Post Instructions
After reading “The Hard Side of Change Management” this week, it will be fruitful to explore additional theories of change management. To prepare for the discussion forum this week, conduct some research on other theories: complexity theory; Kurt Lewin's Force Field Analysis (Unfreeze, Change, Freezing); Morgan's
Images of Organization
or related articles.
Compare and contrast these models with Kotter's
8 Steps to Change
. At this point, refrain from personal opinion - focus on an objective analysis of the theories themselves.
Follow Up Posts, 75-150 words minimum
After your initial post, read over the items posted by your peers and your instructor. Select at least two different posts, and address the following items in your responses:
i. Did your peer’s assessment of the different theories offer new insights to you?
ii. What questions remain in your mind after reading their analyses of these change model? Invite further conversation about these theories.
Patricia McCarthy
Kurt Lewin’s Force Field Analysis involved three steps, unfreezing, moving and refreezing. Lewin’s three concepts considered the ideas of shaping and incorporating a way to deal with the investigating, comprehension and achieving change at the organizational and societal level. The unfreezing stage was based on that the balance should be destabilized (unfrozen) before old conduct can be disposed of (unlearned) and new conduct effectively embraced. Under the moving stage one should try to consider every one of the powers at work and distinguish and assess, on a testing premise, all the accessible alternatives. In the final stage refreezing new conduct must be, somewhat, compatible with the remainder of the conduct, character and condition of the person or it will just prompt another round of disconfirmation.
Morgan’s tactic was based on the principle that organization concepts depended on the understanding of images of the organization. Metaphors can be viewed as ideas which can support the understanding of an organization. Morgan’s ideas “metaphors” are a machine, an organism, an information processor (brain), a culture, a political system, a psychic prison, a flux and transformation, an instrument of domination. Morgan’s metaphors have filled in as methods for translating hierarchical issues, as beginning stages for research, and as edges for characterizing writing in the field. The metaphors also include various theories and means of making sense of organizations while some scholars see them as a tool to analyze and.

Strategic/Competitive Position
Apple Inc. is known for its state-of-the-art designs for products such as the iPhone, but most are unaware that Apple has used technology to streamline its supply chain management and operational systems to provide competitive pricing. This use of technology has allowed the company to under price its competitors and yet maintain a 25 percent margin on their products. The use of IT has provided Apple with a strategic and competitive position which most of their competitors find difficult to match or exceed.
Using your company or a real-world example from your research, analyze how information systems affect the firm’s strategic and competitive position.
Using the assigned readings and the Argosy University online library resources, explain how information technology:
Impacts competitive rivalry, such as pricing, promotion, and distribution
Enables or dissuades new entrants
Enables customers to achieve greater bargaining power
Enables suppliers to gain more bargaining power

Strategies for Negotiation & Conflict Resolution
Dr. Janice Barrett
Notes onCrisis Management and Conflict Resolution
Defining a crisis: An event that brings, or has the potential for bringing, an organization and its leaders into disrepute and imperil the organization’s future profitability, reputation, growth and possibly its very survival.
Financial measures of a crisis: bankruptcy, drop in sales, boycotts, loss of valuable employees etc.
Tarnished reputation results: the erosion of a company’s reputation in the eyes of its many stakeholders and the general public --- the worth of an entire organization can be endangered as a consequence.
Characteristics of a crisis:
Suddenness
Uncertainty
Time compression
The seven types of crises:
1. nature (natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods)
2. technology (oil spills, nuclear reactor accidents)
3. confrontation (equal rights, strikes)
4. malevolence (terrorists, disinformation)
5. skewed values (fraud, cheating, embezzlement)
6. deception (withholding information, lying, deceptive products)
7. misconduct (illegal or criminal acts).
Essentials of a contingency plan: Contingency planning involves formulating responses to crises before they occur. The essentials of a contingency plan include: anticipating what might happen, searching for preventative and preparatory measures, and drafting appropriate responses to those situations most likely to occur or whose impact is greatest.
Other, more specific elements are: Identify all potential contingencies and areas of vulnerability, examine specific vulnerabilities, review general vulnerabilities based on the organization’s “public nature”, establish crisis thresholds and assign crisis alert responsibilities, organize and train a crisis management team and establish a crisis communications center, Obtain advanced approvals for contingency plan measures, list and prioritize publics that must be informed, prepare a crisis media list and background press materials, and designate and train spokespersons.
The most important tasks are: Identifying risks, ranking those risks in a matrix based on relative impact as compared to probability of occurrence, and finally creating plans to eliminate or mitigate the impact of the most impactful and highest probable incidents. Every crisis cannot be planned for; there are simply not enough resources to do so. However, high impact, and high probability risks can be eliminated, or at least mitigated by proper planning and management.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

student AIssueMarsala assigns the balance and the living spac.docx
- 1. student A Issue: Marsala assigns the balance and the living space of the lease, three months, to a friend, Fred. In Marsala's rental agreement, it specifies that the lease cannot be assigned without the landlord's consent. Is Marsala's claim that Fred is financially sound and should be allowed the full rights and privileges of an assignee correct? Rule: Under rights that cannot be assigned, the contract prohibits assignment, a contract for renting an apartment that specifically states that, "the lease cannot be assigned without the landlord's consent", means that the contract will become voidable if the landlord does not consent to the assignment. Application: There are four exceptions to rights being assigned, and they are; The assignment is prohibited by statute, the contract is personal, the assignment significantly changes the risk or duties of the obligor, and the contract prohibits assignment. Marsala's rental agreement specifically stated that the lease cannot be assigned without the landlords consent. Marsala believes that because her friend Fred is financially stable, he should be allowed the full rights and privileges of an assignee. However, the landlord did not consent to Fred and denied him access to the property. Not only can she not assign the lease the Fred, but she cannot delegate him to live there and pay on the lease. Special trust was placed in Marsala when she did her background check, and signed the lease for the entire year, and the landlord has not had any trust placed in Fred. If Fred does not pay rent in full for the last three months, then his performance varies materially from what was expected by the landlord. Conclusion: Since the contract between the landlord, the obligee, and
- 2. Marsala, the obligor, states that the contract cannot be assigned to anyone else without the consent of the obligee, and he does not consent, then Marsala is responsible for the last three months of rent, and Fred cannot live there. Marsala signed the contract that had clear words, and agreed to fulfilling her obligation of a full years rent. The landlord has that right to deny the transfer and acceptance of Fred becoming the new renter under Marsala's contract.
