This assignment is designed to assess learning outcomes:
Module learning outcomes being assessed
1. ) Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the range and scope of legal and professional responsibilities within the business sector
2. ) Identify and understand the key concepts of the tort of negligence and how they relate to business organisations and professional behaviour
3.) Demonstrate an ability to use legal authority appropriately and apply relevant law to a range of business scenarios
This assignment is an individual assignment.
This assignment requires you to write a 2000 word original advice to the following scenario
Following last season’s poor quality applicants and low viewing figures for his TV show “You’re Hired” where the winner of the program is appointed as CEO of his TV Production Company, Simon wants to rebrand the show and has appointed American celebrity sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney to be on the judging panel each episode and at the finale for a fee of £1,000,000 each. As the global popularity of the sisters is so high Simon knows their appearance is guaranteed to raise applications, viewing figures and advertising revenue worldwide and as a consequence wants to ensure the agreement with them is enforceable.
By way of thanks Kim takes Simon out to dinner and it is agreed she will pay the bill. At the restaurant Kim orders a bottle of champagne to toast success of the new show and asks the restaurant owner to open it. Unfortunately the owner fails to control the cork and it hits Simon in the mouth damaging his teeth and the cost of the dental repairs is £20,000.
Advise Simon of the responsibilities owed to him under the tort of negligence and of any remedy that may be available to him.
Please note that this scenario is fictitious and is to be considered and used only for the purpose of academic debate for this assessment.

Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father .docxransayo
Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father recently passed away in a tragic car accident. Zoe, her mom, and two older brothers have temporarily relocated from out-of-state and are now living in her grandparents’ house in a small, rural community.
Because the family had been living out-of state, Zoe has never interacted with her grandparents. She has challenges responding to social cues, including her name and in understanding gestures. She also engages in repetitive body movements. She is fond of her set of dolls and likes lining them up. When Zoe is agitated, her mother plays Mozart, which seems to have a calming effect. Zoe also enjoys macaroni and cheese.
Her grandparents do not understand Zoe’s attempts at communicating. Zoe does not respond well to crowded and noisy environments. Zoe’s mom is working outside the home for the first time.
Because of the move, Zoe has transferred to a new school, which does not currently have any students with ASD. Although her mom is generally very involved with Zoe’s education, she is away from the home much of the time due to a long commute for her new job is a neighboring city.
Zoe’s grandparents are eager and willing to help in any way they can.
Imagine you are serving as an ASD consultant at Zoe’s new school. Using the COMPASS model, create a COMPASS Action Plan for Zoe by complete the following tasks:
Identify the personal challenges for Zoe;
Identify the environmental challenges for Zoe;
Identify potential supports; and
Identify and prioritize teaching goals.
In addition, include a 250-500-word rationale that explains how your action plan for Zoe demonstrates collaboration in a respectful, culturally responsive way while promoting understanding, resolving conflicts, and building consensus around her interventions.

Body Paragraphs
Connect the following Sports Psychology Concepts (or even those not listed) to Zlatan Ibrahimović
What is his personality type? Type A, B C, or D?
Give examples through research of where he shows this.
CATASTROPHE THEORY… OCCURS WHEN? WHAT DOES THE GRAPH LOOK LIKE
· Arousal: is a blend of physiological and psychological activity in a person and it refers to the intensity dimensions of motivation at a particular moment. It ranges from not aroused, to completely aroused, to highly aroused; this is when individuals are mentally and physically activated.
· Performance increases as arousal increases but when arousal gets too high performance dramatically decreases. This is usually caused by the performer becoming anxious and sometimes making wrong decisions. Catastrophes is caused by a combination of cognitive and somatic anxieties. Cognitive is the internal worries of not performing well while somatic is the physical effects of muscle tension/butterflies and fatigue through playing.
· The graph is an inverted U where the x line is the arousal and the y is the performance. Performance peaks on the top of the inverted U and the catastrophe happens in the fall of the inverted U
HIGH TRAIT ANXIETY ATHLETES… HOW DO THEY PERCEIVE COMPETITION?
· Anxiety: is a negative emotional state in which feelings of nervousness, worry and apprehension are associated with activation or arousal of the body
· Trait Anxiety: is a behavioral disposition to perceive as threatening circumstances that objectively may not be dangerous and to then respond with disproportionate state anxiety.
· Somatic Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically perceived heightened physical symptoms (muscle tension)
· Cognitive Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically worries or has self doubt
· Concentration Disruption: the degree to which one typically has concentration disruption during competition
People usually with high trait anxiety usually have more state anxiety in highly competitive evaluative situations than do people with lower trait anxiety. Example two athletes are playing basketball and both are physically and statistically the same both have to shoot a final free throw to win the game. Athlete A is more laid back which means his trait anxiety is lower and he doesn't view the final shot as a overly threatening. Athlete B has a high trait anxiety and because of that he perceives the final shot as very threatening. This has an effect on his state anxiety much more than.

Zia 2
Do You Choose to Accept?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go out and see Mission: Impossible-Fallout. As I sat back in my red-cushioned seat, accompanied by my brothers, I knew I was in for something special. The film takes place two years after two-thousand fifteens hit movie, Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation. While I had no clue what to expect, I knew I was going to be in for an incredible ride as soon as the movie began with the intense dialogue between Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and Solomon Lane (Sean Harris). From beginning to end, Mission: Impossible- Fallout delivers crazy action-thriller scenes, inventive special effects, and creative cinematography.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout is based on a story of an American agent who must retrieve nuclear weapons from an enemy terrorist organization with help of his specialized IMF team. The film was consistent the first hour with it involving the audience in the mission of the secret organization and trying to figure out the next move of the evil organization known as the Apostles. However, towards the middle of the movie it was revealed that one of the CIA agents was playing the role of a double spy and was on the side of the Apostles. The plot delivered intense action-packed scenes between the opposing groups that personally had me at the edge of my seat. Whether it was a chase on motorcycles, cars, speedboats, or helicopters, each scene had Ethan Hunt running for his life to save the world. Even though I was only viewing the movie from a comfortable movie theater, Hunt zigzagging through the traffic of France on a motorcycle had my fists clenched and adrenaline pumping. However, that was not even the best thriller of the movie. Ethan Hunt trailing Agent Walker in a helicopter with heavy rounds of artillery being fired at each other through the snowcapped mountains of Kashmir may very well be one of the best action scenes in cinematic history. Mission: Impossible-Fallout can be appreciated and enjoyed by all audiences because of its action-packed scenes that keep everyone extremely engaged in the plot.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout brilliantly illustrates the amazing special effects that serve to create the theme and style of the film. From creating bloody wounds to spectacular backgrounds, special effects are abundant throughout the movie. For instance, as Hunt is jumping off an airplane, the special effects of this scene include wind, rain, thunder, and clouds that make the film visually appealing and almost realistic. The thunder striking him as he is skydiving had my jaw wide open simply because of how incredible the illusion was displayed. In almost every fight between Hunt’s team and the Apostles, multiple types of special effects were utilized. Fighting sequences with Hunt angrily running towards Lane and delivering devastating punches accompanied by “POWs” and “AAAHs” seemed so realistic that it had me feeling queasy in my stomach. The gunfire during these fight.

Working Title:
The Education Gap
Research Question:
How did the youth of Iran make up the education gap resulted from the Cultural Revolution from 1980 to 1982?
This is a critical question because it involves both education and the youth of Iran. Education and the youth are both very fundamental perspectives for a society to thrive. During the cultural revolution, the education system was shut down, which would undermine the overall quality of a generation. Research of this issue will lead us to the methods used to make up the education gap. It is possible to help other countries suffering similar issues.
Thesis Statement:
After the Iran’s cultural revolution during 1980 to 1982, the youth of Iran made up the education gap caused during the revolution by promoting student movements.
Outline:
· Introduction:
· Cultural Revolution happened in Iran during 1980 to 1982. The education institutions like universities were shut down for the 3-year period. And this gap in education brought significant influence on the youth of Iran at that time. However, the education gap was made up successfully after the revolution.
· State the thesis statement:
· The education gap is made up by the youth in Iran. They promoted the student movement to help the society recover from the revolution.
· The scars left from the revolution
· The revolution lasted 3 years, young people who were supposed to be students had to quit school. The government forced schools to close. The chain of delivering knowledge was broken. And young people cannot find proper things to do when quitting school.
· Student movements
· After the cultural revolution, people in Iran realized they need to correct the current education situation recover the damages resulted from the revolution. Since Iran’s youth has a great number in the society, their power was not to be ignored. They started to fight for their own rights and profits. They were looking for ways to make up the damage has been down. Then the student movement eventually worked for recovering Iran’s education level.
· Conclusion
· The cultural revolution in Iran hurt its education continuity. However, the youth of Iran managed to make up for the damage caused by the cultural revolution. Student movements played the dominant role in this recovering process.

Violation of Civil Rights Act in Elections
Introduction
Despite the assurance of minority voter’s rights by the constitution and the fourteenth amendment, cases of rights violation with regards to the voting process are still on the rise in the US. Minority groups are often discriminated or blocked from participating in the voting process both in ways that they can discern and through cunning plans that can involve the voting process. Some of the main reasons why minorities’ constitutional rights are violated include racial discrimination by majority races, and to manipulate the outcome of the elections so as to keep minority groups out of the political leadership structure. The fourteenth amendment and the constitution do not sufficiently safeguard the rights of minority groups during elections beca.

IBM's days in inventory is around two weeks and this means that goods in the inventory
as efficnetly distributed and that there is a consitantly good inventory control for the
company.
The company's debts to assets ratio is the same for two years and this means that the
company has less debt than asset. However, it is still a relatively poor ratio because this
might show that there are potential problems for the company to generate sufficient
revenue.
The current ratio of the company has decreased over the year, and this means that the
company has less liquid assets to cover its short term liabilities. Since the ratio is
currently approaching 1, the company might be having liquidation problem.
The profit margin for IBM is very stable and it has been about 12% for two years. The
company is performing the profit-generating ability at an average level and it is having
an average profit margin in the industry.
The receiveables turnover is good for the company while between these two years, there
is a decline. As the company is collecting its accounts receiveables around 10 times per
year, the collection is frequent.
The company has been collecting money from customers on credit sales approximately
once every month, and the company usually has fast credit collection, which means that
the risk for credit sales is relatively low.
Inventory turnover measures how many times a company sells and replaces inventory
during a year and for IBM, the number of times is stable and it is constantly around 25.
This means that the company has an efficient control of its goods in the inventory.

Zheng He's Inscription
This inscription was carved on a stele erected at a temple to the goddess the Celestial Spouse at Changle in Fujian province in 1431. Message written before his last voyage.
The Imperial Ming Dynasty unifying seas and continents, surpassing the three dynasties even goes beyond the Han and Tang dynasties. The countries beyond the horizon and from the ends of the earth have all become subjects and to the most western of the western or the most northern of the northern countries, however far they may be, the distance and the routes may be calculated. Thus the barbarians from beyond the seas, though their countries are truly distant, "have come to audience bearing precious objects and presents.
The Emperor, approving of their loyalty and sincerity, has ordered us (Zheng) He and others at the head of several tens of thousands of officers and flag-troops to ascend (use) more than one hundred large ships to go and confer presents on them in order to make manifest (make it happen) the transforming power of the (imperial) virtue and to treat distant people with kindness. From the third year of Yongle (1405) till now we have seven times received the commission (official permission) of ambassadors to countries of the western ocean. The barbarian countries which we have visited are: by way of Zhancheng (Champa Cambodia), Zhaowa (Java), Sanfoqi (Palembang- Indonesia) and Xianlo (Siam/Thailand) crossing straight over to Xilanshan (Ceylon- Sri Lanka) in South India, Guli (Calicut) [India], and Kezhi (Cochin India), we have gone to the western regions Hulumosi (Hormuz Between Oman and Iran), Adan (Aden), Mugudushu (Mogadishu- Somalia), altogether more than thirty countries large and small. We have traversed more than one hundred thousand li (distance of 500 meters) of immense water spaces and have beheld in the ocean huge waves like mountains rising sky-high, and we have set eyes on barbarian regions far away hidden in a blue transparency of light vapours, while our sails loftily unfurled like clouds day and night continued their course (rapid like that) of a star, traversing those savage waves as if we were treading a public thoroughfare. Truly this was due to the majesty and the good fortune of the Court and moreover we owe it to the protecting virtue of the divine Celestial Spouse.
The power of the goddess having indeed been manifested in previous times has been abundantly revealed in the present generation. When we arrived in the distant countries we captured alive those of the native kings who were not respectful and exterminated those barbarian robbers who were engaged in piracy, so that consequently the sea route was cleansed and pacified (to make someone or something peaceful) and the natives put their trust in it. All this is due to the favours of the goddess.

Time and Memory in Two Portal Fantasies: An Analysis of Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland and "Windeye"
Life is a collection of moments, and some memories last forever. Brian Evenson
demonstrated this in “Windeye,”a story of a man who faces mental challenges because of the
life-long memory of his sister. In spite of the fact that his mother insists that the sister did not
exist, the protagonist stuck to this belief until his old age. The basis of the protagonist’s
problems is the intense love and unforgettable memories he shared with his imagined sister.
A great portion of his childhood memories is centered around his sister and their exploration
of the windeye. Windeye, the corruption of the word window, is a portal that causes the
disappearance of the protagonist’s sister. The popular portal fantasy, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, illustrates a similar story in the same sub-genre where a girl travels through a
rabbit hole and experiences a fantasy world which chronicles her changes from naive child-
like responses to more adult-like problem solving reactions. In “Windeye,” Brian Evenson
utilizes the portal trope to develop conflict and outcomes while exploring the themes of time
and memory. In both stories, the use of the portal trope creates a distinct world that is
separate from reality; however, the outcomes are different, and ultimately, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland presents the theme of growth while “Windeye” explores time and memories.
The use of time factors allows the reader to travel back to the origin of the story in “Windeye” and experience the beginning of the central conflict. It is in his past that the
protagonist develops strong childhood memories of a sister, which is the cause of his future
mental challenges. In the present, the narrator is old and rickety as he uses a cane to walk but
is still reminiscent of the past (Evenson). He holds firm to the belief that he might have a
chance of meeting his sister again and thus contemplates the future and the sister’s
appearance. The plot of “Windeye” is composed of distinctive life moments: the past, the
present, and the future, which offer a clear and complete description of the events. The theme
Zhou 2
of time allows the reader to understand why the protagonist profoundly feels that his sister exists. In essence, it is time travel that gives the story a picture of the events that lead to the current situation.
The portal fantasy is a fictional literary device where a character enters into a
fantastical world through a portal or a hole. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Carroll
uses a rabbit hole as a physical portal to move through time. Comparably, Evenson utilizes
the windeye, a window that can only be seen from one side, as a physical portal. When the
sister touches the windeye, her brother believes that she enters into another reality through
the portal as Alice does. In contrast, the protagonist also experiences a new reality as he is.

Comparing Gas-Powered Cars and Electric Cars
Electric cars have become increasingly popular in the past century. These cars use
electric motors instead of conventional gasoline engines. Electric cars pollute less and utilize
energy more efficiently than gas-powered vehicles; therefore, modern research is focusing on
improving electric vehicles, such as increasing the storage capacity of the batteries. This essay
seeks to identify the differences and similarities between the two types of cars focusing on their
performance, price, and convenience.
An electric car is a car that is primarily powered by electricity. The conventional gas-
powered cars require diesel or gasoline to power the engines. These cars have gas tanks that store
fuel and the engine converts the gas to the energy that powers the motor. Similarly, electric cars
have batteries, or fuel cells that store and convert electricity to energy used to propel electric
motors (What Are Electric Cars?). Four components present in electric cars distinguish it from
the gas-powered cars (Alternative Fuels Data Center: How Do All-Electric Cars Work?). The
first is the charge port. Since electricity powers an electric car, there has to be a port to connect
to an external power source when charging the battery. The second is an electric traction motor
that propels the vehicle. The third is a traction battery pack. This battery serves the same purpose
as the gas tank; thus, it stocks electric power to propel the motor. The forth is a direct current
converter. This component converts the current to low voltage power that is needed to power the
electric engine.

No, you cannot 'announce' what your essay will do. And this is NOT the thesis I approved. What I approved:"Both gas-powered cars and electric cars are now in use, but their price, performance and convenience may vary, which may influence people's decisions about which type to use."

Differences between gas-powered cars and electric cars
The initial purchase price of an electric car is much higher than that of a gas-powered car.
Consumers intending to own a vehicle have the option of buying or leasing. The initial cost of a
car depends on an individual's disposable income and savings. Knez et al. noted that "When it
comes to financial features, the most important thing seems to be the total price of the vehicle"
(55). The difference in price between electr.

Reputation by Taylor Swift
After Taylor Swift fell into disrepute, she was truly reborn. As a creative singer
who reveals a lot of real life emotions and details in her works, she constantly refines
and shares her emotional connection with her audience. In her new album, people find
resonance in her work, connect it with their own lives. "Reputation" is not only the
original efforts of Taylor Swift, but also means that she turned gorgeously and
dominated. This album is like a swearing word from her to the world. Revenge fantasy,
sweet love, painful growth... all the good and bad things that happened in these stages
of life, her music seems to have gone through with us all over again.
But last August, the now 28-year-old singer declared that "the old Taylor is
dead" in her eerie single "Look What You Made Me Do," the beginning of a new era for
Swift (Weatherby). The disclosure of the society, the accusations of rumor makers,
these straight-forward lyrics shred the ugly face of those unscrupulous people. Taylor
Swift did not endure the rumors in the society, but created this rock album after the
silence. If 1989 is still what Taylor hopes to gain the understanding of the public, this
album is really a matter of opening up the past concerns, saying goodbye to the past
as well as being a true Taylor Swift. No longer caring about the so-called "reputation ",
preferring to be burned to death by those ridiculous "images." This air of newfound
jadedness is one of the many ways in which Swift broadcasts her long-overdue loss of
Zhang �2
innocence on “Reputation,” an album that captures the singer during the most
turbulent but commercially successful period of her career. (Primeau)
The cover is black and white, the picture is Taylor's head, and the side is the
newspaper's article and title words. The cover of the album may be a metaphor, it
reveals that Taylor can no longer stand the report of the gossip media, and the chain on
the neck represents depression and breathlessness. The theme and style of the album
are all refined from their own lives. The emotions and themes interpreted in her songs
make the audience feel more deeply that her album is her life. Without even using any
real words, fans can surmise what this means — a reference to the endless headlines
and stories the singer has spurred in recent years. (Primeau) Reputation, come to diss
the past and all opponents.
The lyrics and MV are full of real stalks in Taylor Swift's life , with Taylor's
resentment for circles and industry since his debut. In the era of streaming singles, she
is the rare young star who still worships at the altar of the album, an old-fashioned
instinct that serves her surprisingly well. (Battan) "Look What You Made Me Do" is a
counterattack against Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and numerous
online "black mold". And .

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.
In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.
Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.
Post
a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.

Executions Should Be Televised
Earlier this month, Georgia conducted its third execution this year. This would have passed relatively unnoticed if not for a controversy surrounding its videotaping. Lawyers for the condemned inmate, Andrew Grant DeYoung, had persuaded a judge to allow the recording of his last moments as part of an effort to obtain evidence on whether lethal injection caused unnecessary suffering.
Though he argued for videotaping, one of Mr. DeYoung’s defense lawyers, Brian Kammer, spoke out against releasing the footage to the public. “It’s a horrible thing that Andrew DeYoung had to go through,” Mr. Kammer said, “and it’s not for the public to see that.”
We respectfully disagree. Executions in the United States ought to be made public.
Right now, executions are generally open only to the press and a few select witnesses. For the rest of us, the vague contours are provided in the morning paper. Yet a functioning democracy demands maximum accountability and transparency. As long as executions remain behind closed doors, those are impossible. The people should have the right to see what is being done in their name and with their tax dollars.
This is particularly relevant given the current debate on whether specific methods of lethal injection constitute cruel and unusual punishment and therefore violate the Constitution.
There is a dramatic difference between reading or hearing of such an event and observing it through image and sound. (This is obvious to those who saw the footage of Saddam Hussein’s hanging in 2006 or the death of Neda Agha-Soltan during the protests in Iran in 2009.) We are not calling for opening executions completely to the public — conducting them before a live crowd — but rather for broadcasting them live or recording them for future release, on the web or TV.
When another Georgia inmate, Roy Blankenship, was executed in June, the prisoner jerked his head, grimaced, gasped, and lurched, according to a medical expert’s affidavit. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Mr. DeYoung, executed in the same manner, “showed no violent signs in death.” Voters should not have to rely on media accounts to understand what takes place when a man is put to death.
Cameras record legislative sessions and presidential debates, and courtrooms are allowing greater television access. When he was an Illinois state senator, President Obama successfully pressed for the videotaping of homicide interrogations and confessions. The most serious penalty of all surely demands equal if not greater scrutiny.
Opponents of our proposal offer many objections. State lawyers argued that making Mr. DeYoung’s execution public raised safety concerns..

The document is a reflective essay written by Jiawen Zeng about improving their writing skills during their English 3001 writing proficiency course over 10 weeks. The essay discusses the most serious problems Zeng previously faced with their writing, including issues with grammar, verb tenses, and content quality. It describes Zeng's initial strategy of only focusing on highlighted mistakes, but then realizing this was not enough and starting to read more books in English and write more diverse essays. The essay reflects on Zeng meeting the university's writing requirements being just the beginning, and the need to continue improving editing skills and focusing on content, evidence, and meeting further targets.

This document summarizes a lecture on the social organization of Hindustani music. It discusses key terms like gharana (musical lineage), khandan (musical family), and the distinction between soloists and accompanists. Socially, soloists came from higher castes than accompanists. Musically, the performance structure involved a soloist leading with accompanists following. Over time, accompanists gained more prominence and independence, filling important musical roles and occasionally challenging the traditional hierarchy. Lineage and pedigree (gharana/khandan) became important for musicians' social and musical identities.

Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father .docxransayo
Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father recently passed away in a tragic car accident. Zoe, her mom, and two older brothers have temporarily relocated from out-of-state and are now living in her grandparents’ house in a small, rural community.
Because the family had been living out-of state, Zoe has never interacted with her grandparents. She has challenges responding to social cues, including her name and in understanding gestures. She also engages in repetitive body movements. She is fond of her set of dolls and likes lining them up. When Zoe is agitated, her mother plays Mozart, which seems to have a calming effect. Zoe also enjoys macaroni and cheese.
Her grandparents do not understand Zoe’s attempts at communicating. Zoe does not respond well to crowded and noisy environments. Zoe’s mom is working outside the home for the first time.
Because of the move, Zoe has transferred to a new school, which does not currently have any students with ASD. Although her mom is generally very involved with Zoe’s education, she is away from the home much of the time due to a long commute for her new job is a neighboring city.
Zoe’s grandparents are eager and willing to help in any way they can.
Imagine you are serving as an ASD consultant at Zoe’s new school. Using the COMPASS model, create a COMPASS Action Plan for Zoe by complete the following tasks:
Identify the personal challenges for Zoe;
Identify the environmental challenges for Zoe;
Identify potential supports; and
Identify and prioritize teaching goals.
In addition, include a 250-500-word rationale that explains how your action plan for Zoe demonstrates collaboration in a respectful, culturally responsive way while promoting understanding, resolving conflicts, and building consensus around her interventions.

Connect the following Sports Psychology Concepts (or even those not listed) to Zlatan Ibrahimović
What is his personality type? Type A, B C, or D?
Give examples through research of where he shows this.
CATASTROPHE THEORY… OCCURS WHEN? WHAT DOES THE GRAPH LOOK LIKE
· Arousal: is a blend of physiological and psychological activity in a person and it refers to the intensity dimensions of motivation at a particular moment. It ranges from not aroused, to completely aroused, to highly aroused; this is when individuals are mentally and physically activated.
· Performance increases as arousal increases but when arousal gets too high performance dramatically decreases. This is usually caused by the performer becoming anxious and sometimes making wrong decisions. Catastrophes is caused by a combination of cognitive and somatic anxieties. Cognitive is the internal worries of not performing well while somatic is the physical effects of muscle tension/butterflies and fatigue through playing.
· The graph is an inverted U where the x line is the arousal and the y is the performance. Performance peaks on the top of the inverted U and the catastrophe happens in the fall of the inverted U
HIGH TRAIT ANXIETY ATHLETES… HOW DO THEY PERCEIVE COMPETITION?
· Anxiety: is a negative emotional state in which feelings of nervousness, worry and apprehension are associated with activation or arousal of the body
· Trait Anxiety: is a behavioral disposition to perceive as threatening circumstances that objectively may not be dangerous and to then respond with disproportionate state anxiety.
· Somatic Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically perceived heightened physical symptoms (muscle tension)
· Cognitive Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically worries or has self doubt
· Concentration Disruption: the degree to which one typically has concentration disruption during competition
People usually with high trait anxiety usually have more state anxiety in highly competitive evaluative situations than do people with lower trait anxiety. Example two athletes are playing basketball and both are physically and statistically the same both have to shoot a final free throw to win the game. Athlete A is more laid back which means his trait anxiety is lower and he doesn't view the final shot as a overly threatening. Athlete B has a high trait anxiety and because of that he perceives the final shot as very threatening. This has an effect on his state anxiety much more than.

Do You Choose to Accept?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go out and see Mission: Impossible-Fallout. As I sat back in my red-cushioned seat, accompanied by my brothers, I knew I was in for something special. The film takes place two years after two-thousand fifteens hit movie, Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation. While I had no clue what to expect, I knew I was going to be in for an incredible ride as soon as the movie began with the intense dialogue between Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and Solomon Lane (Sean Harris). From beginning to end, Mission: Impossible- Fallout delivers crazy action-thriller scenes, inventive special effects, and creative cinematography.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout is based on a story of an American agent who must retrieve nuclear weapons from an enemy terrorist organization with help of his specialized IMF team. The film was consistent the first hour with it involving the audience in the mission of the secret organization and trying to figure out the next move of the evil organization known as the Apostles. However, towards the middle of the movie it was revealed that one of the CIA agents was playing the role of a double spy and was on the side of the Apostles. The plot delivered intense action-packed scenes between the opposing groups that personally had me at the edge of my seat. Whether it was a chase on motorcycles, cars, speedboats, or helicopters, each scene had Ethan Hunt running for his life to save the world. Even though I was only viewing the movie from a comfortable movie theater, Hunt zigzagging through the traffic of France on a motorcycle had my fists clenched and adrenaline pumping. However, that was not even the best thriller of the movie. Ethan Hunt trailing Agent Walker in a helicopter with heavy rounds of artillery being fired at each other through the snowcapped mountains of Kashmir may very well be one of the best action scenes in cinematic history. Mission: Impossible-Fallout can be appreciated and enjoyed by all audiences because of its action-packed scenes that keep everyone extremely engaged in the plot.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout brilliantly illustrates the amazing special effects that serve to create the theme and style of the film. From creating bloody wounds to spectacular backgrounds, special effects are abundant throughout the movie. For instance, as Hunt is jumping off an airplane, the special effects of this scene include wind, rain, thunder, and clouds that make the film visually appealing and almost realistic. The thunder striking him as he is skydiving had my jaw wide open simply because of how incredible the illusion was displayed. In almost every fight between Hunt’s team and the Apostles, multiple types of special effects were utilized. Fighting sequences with Hunt angrily running towards Lane and delivering devastating punches accompanied by “POWs” and “AAAHs” seemed so realistic that it had me feeling queasy in my stomach. The gunfire during these fight.

The Education Gap
Research Question:
How did the youth of Iran make up the education gap resulted from the Cultural Revolution from 1980 to 1982?
This is a critical question because it involves both education and the youth of Iran. Education and the youth are both very fundamental perspectives for a society to thrive. During the cultural revolution, the education system was shut down, which would undermine the overall quality of a generation. Research of this issue will lead us to the methods used to make up the education gap. It is possible to help other countries suffering similar issues.
Thesis Statement:
After the Iran’s cultural revolution during 1980 to 1982, the youth of Iran made up the education gap caused during the revolution by promoting student movements.
Outline:
· Introduction:
· Cultural Revolution happened in Iran during 1980 to 1982. The education institutions like universities were shut down for the 3-year period. And this gap in education brought significant influence on the youth of Iran at that time. However, the education gap was made up successfully after the revolution.
· State the thesis statement:
· The education gap is made up by the youth in Iran. They promoted the student movement to help the society recover from the revolution.
· The scars left from the revolution
· The revolution lasted 3 years, young people who were supposed to be students had to quit school. The government forced schools to close. The chain of delivering knowledge was broken. And young people cannot find proper things to do when quitting school.
· Student movements
· After the cultural revolution, people in Iran realized they need to correct the current education situation recover the damages resulted from the revolution. Since Iran’s youth has a great number in the society, their power was not to be ignored. They started to fight for their own rights and profits. They were looking for ways to make up the damage has been down. Then the student movement eventually worked for recovering Iran’s education level.
· Conclusion
· The cultural revolution in Iran hurt its education continuity. However, the youth of Iran managed to make up for the damage caused by the cultural revolution. Student movements played the dominant role in this recovering process.

Violation of Civil Rights Act in Elections
Introduction
Despite the assurance of minority voter’s rights by the constitution and the fourteenth amendment, cases of rights violation with regards to the voting process are still on the rise in the US. Minority groups are often discriminated or blocked from participating in the voting process both in ways that they can discern and through cunning plans that can involve the voting process. Some of the main reasons why minorities’ constitutional rights are violated include racial discrimination by majority races, and to manipulate the outcome of the elections so as to keep minority groups out of the political leadership structure. The fourteenth amendment and the constitution do not sufficiently safeguard the rights of minority groups during elections beca.

Days in Inventory 14.53 14.39 365/Inventory Turnover
Debts to Asset Ratio 0.86 0.86 Total Debts/Total Assets
IBM's days in inventory is around two weeks and this means that goods in the inventory
as efficnetly distributed and that there is a consitantly good inventory control for the
company.
The company's debts to assets ratio is the same for two years and this means that the
company has less debt than asset. However, it is still a relatively poor ratio because this
might show that there are potential problems for the company to generate sufficient
revenue.
The current ratio of the company has decreased over the year, and this means that the
company has less liquid assets to cover its short term liabilities. Since the ratio is
currently approaching 1, the company might be having liquidation problem.
The profit margin for IBM is very stable and it has been about 12% for two years. The
company is performing the profit-generating ability at an average level and it is having
an average profit margin in the industry.
The receiveables turnover is good for the company while between these two years, there
is a decline. As the company is collecting its accounts receiveables around 10 times per
year, the collection is frequent.
The company has been collecting money from customers on credit sales approximately
once every month, and the company usually has fast credit collection, which means that
the risk for credit sales is relatively low.
Inventory turnover measures how many times a company sells and replaces inventory
during a year and for IBM, the number of times is stable and it is constantly around 25.
This means that the company has an efficient control of its goods in the inventory.

Zheng Hes Inscription This inscription was carved on a stele erec.docxransayo
Zheng He's Inscription
This inscription was carved on a stele erected at a temple to the goddess the Celestial Spouse at Changle in Fujian province in 1431. Message written before his last voyage.
The Imperial Ming Dynasty unifying seas and continents, surpassing the three dynasties even goes beyond the Han and Tang dynasties. The countries beyond the horizon and from the ends of the earth have all become subjects and to the most western of the western or the most northern of the northern countries, however far they may be, the distance and the routes may be calculated. Thus the barbarians from beyond the seas, though their countries are truly distant, "have come to audience bearing precious objects and presents.
The Emperor, approving of their loyalty and sincerity, has ordered us (Zheng) He and others at the head of several tens of thousands of officers and flag-troops to ascend (use) more than one hundred large ships to go and confer presents on them in order to make manifest (make it happen) the transforming power of the (imperial) virtue and to treat distant people with kindness. From the third year of Yongle (1405) till now we have seven times received the commission (official permission) of ambassadors to countries of the western ocean. The barbarian countries which we have visited are: by way of Zhancheng (Champa Cambodia), Zhaowa (Java), Sanfoqi (Palembang- Indonesia) and Xianlo (Siam/Thailand) crossing straight over to Xilanshan (Ceylon- Sri Lanka) in South India, Guli (Calicut) [India], and Kezhi (Cochin India), we have gone to the western regions Hulumosi (Hormuz Between Oman and Iran), Adan (Aden), Mugudushu (Mogadishu- Somalia), altogether more than thirty countries large and small. We have traversed more than one hundred thousand li (distance of 500 meters) of immense water spaces and have beheld in the ocean huge waves like mountains rising sky-high, and we have set eyes on barbarian regions far away hidden in a blue transparency of light vapours, while our sails loftily unfurled like clouds day and night continued their course (rapid like that) of a star, traversing those savage waves as if we were treading a public thoroughfare. Truly this was due to the majesty and the good fortune of the Court and moreover we owe it to the protecting virtue of the divine Celestial Spouse.
The power of the goddess having indeed been manifested in previous times has been abundantly revealed in the present generation. When we arrived in the distant countries we captured alive those of the native kings who were not respectful and exterminated those barbarian robbers who were engaged in piracy, so that consequently the sea route was cleansed and pacified (to make someone or something peaceful) and the natives put their trust in it. All this is due to the favours of the goddess.
We have respectfully received an Imperial commemorative composition (essay/piece of writing) exalting the miraculous favours, which is the highest recompense and.

Life is a collection of moments, and some memories last forever. Brian Evenson
demonstrated this in “Windeye,”a story of a man who faces mental challenges because of the
life-long memory of his sister. In spite of the fact that his mother insists that the sister did not
exist, the protagonist stuck to this belief until his old age. The basis of the protagonist’s
problems is the intense love and unforgettable memories he shared with his imagined sister.
A great portion of his childhood memories is centered around his sister and their exploration
of the windeye. Windeye, the corruption of the word window, is a portal that causes the
disappearance of the protagonist’s sister. The popular portal fantasy, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, illustrates a similar story in the same sub-genre where a girl travels through a
rabbit hole and experiences a fantasy world which chronicles her changes from naive child-
like responses to more adult-like problem solving reactions. In “Windeye,” Brian Evenson
utilizes the portal trope to develop conflict and outcomes while exploring the themes of time
and memory. In both stories, the use of the portal trope creates a distinct world that is
separate from reality; however, the outcomes are different, and ultimately, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland presents the theme of growth while “Windeye” explores time and memories.
The use of time factors allows the reader to travel back to the origin of the story in “Windeye” and experience the beginning of the central conflict. It is in his past that the
protagonist develops strong childhood memories of a sister, which is the cause of his future
mental challenges. In the present, the narrator is old and rickety as he uses a cane to walk but
is still reminiscent of the past (Evenson). He holds firm to the belief that he might have a
chance of meeting his sister again and thus contemplates the future and the sister’s
appearance. The plot of “Windeye” is composed of distinctive life moments: the past, the
present, and the future, which offer a clear and complete description of the events. The theme
Zhou 2
of time allows the reader to understand why the protagonist profoundly feels that his sister exists. In essence, it is time travel that gives the story a picture of the events that lead to the current situation.
The portal fantasy is a fictional literary device where a character enters into a
fantastical world through a portal or a hole. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Carroll
uses a rabbit hole as a physical portal to move through time. Comparably, Evenson utilizes
the windeye, a window that can only be seen from one side, as a physical portal. When the
sister touches the windeye, her brother believes that she enters into another reality through
the portal as Alice does. In contrast, the protagonist also experiences a new reality as he is.

Comparing Gas-Powered Cars and Electric Cars
Electric cars have become increasingly popular in the past century. These cars use
electric motors instead of conventional gasoline engines. Electric cars pollute less and utilize
energy more efficiently than gas-powered vehicles; therefore, modern research is focusing on
improving electric vehicles, such as increasing the storage capacity of the batteries. This essay
seeks to identify the differences and similarities between the two types of cars focusing on their
performance, price, and convenience.
An electric car is a car that is primarily powered by electricity. The conventional gas-
powered cars require diesel or gasoline to power the engines. These cars have gas tanks that store
fuel and the engine converts the gas to the energy that powers the motor. Similarly, electric cars
have batteries, or fuel cells that store and convert electricity to energy used to propel electric
motors (What Are Electric Cars?). Four components present in electric cars distinguish it from
the gas-powered cars (Alternative Fuels Data Center: How Do All-Electric Cars Work?). The
first is the charge port. Since electricity powers an electric car, there has to be a port to connect
to an external power source when charging the battery. The second is an electric traction motor
that propels the vehicle. The third is a traction battery pack. This battery serves the same purpose
as the gas tank; thus, it stocks electric power to propel the motor. The forth is a direct current
converter. This component converts the current to low voltage power that is needed to power the
electric engine.

You need to watch the panapto session for this paper assignment and FOLLOW the instructions I give there. Your topic sentence must follow the patterns set forth by your thesis. So, this first paragraph must have a topic sentence about GAS POWERED cars and PRICE. That is what you have set forth in your thesis. Watch the panapto session.

No, you cannot 'announce' what your essay will do. And this is NOT the thesis I approved. What I approved:"Both gas-powered cars and electric cars are now in use, but their price, performance and convenience may vary, which may influence people's decisions about which type to use."
Zhang 2
Differences between gas-powered cars and electric cars
The initial purchase price of an electric car is much higher than that of a gas-powered car.
Consumers intending to own a vehicle have the option of buying or leasing. The initial cost of a
car depends on an individual's disposable income and savings. Knez et al. noted that "When it
comes to financial features, the most important thing seems to be the total price of the vehicle"
(55). The difference in price between electr.

Reputation by Taylor Swift
After Taylor Swift fell into disrepute, she was truly reborn. As a creative singer
who reveals a lot of real life emotions and details in her works, she constantly refines
and shares her emotional connection with her audience. In her new album, people find
resonance in her work, connect it with their own lives. "Reputation" is not only the
original efforts of Taylor Swift, but also means that she turned gorgeously and
dominated. This album is like a swearing word from her to the world. Revenge fantasy,
sweet love, painful growth... all the good and bad things that happened in these stages
of life, her music seems to have gone through with us all over again.
But last August, the now 28-year-old singer declared that "the old Taylor is
dead" in her eerie single "Look What You Made Me Do," the beginning of a new era for
Swift (Weatherby). The disclosure of the society, the accusations of rumor makers,
these straight-forward lyrics shred the ugly face of those unscrupulous people. Taylor
Swift did not endure the rumors in the society, but created this rock album after the
silence. If 1989 is still what Taylor hopes to gain the understanding of the public, this
album is really a matter of opening up the past concerns, saying goodbye to the past
as well as being a true Taylor Swift. No longer caring about the so-called "reputation ",
preferring to be burned to death by those ridiculous "images." This air of newfound
jadedness is one of the many ways in which Swift broadcasts her long-overdue loss of
Zhang �2
innocence on “Reputation,” an album that captures the singer during the most
turbulent but commercially successful period of her career. (Primeau)
The cover is black and white, the picture is Taylor's head, and the side is the
newspaper's article and title words. The cover of the album may be a metaphor, it
reveals that Taylor can no longer stand the report of the gossip media, and the chain on
the neck represents depression and breathlessness. The theme and style of the album
are all refined from their own lives. The emotions and themes interpreted in her songs
make the audience feel more deeply that her album is her life. Without even using any
real words, fans can surmise what this means — a reference to the endless headlines
and stories the singer has spurred in recent years. (Primeau) Reputation, come to diss
the past and all opponents.
The lyrics and MV are full of real stalks in Taylor Swift's life , with Taylor's
resentment for circles and industry since his debut. In the era of streaming singles, she
is the rare young star who still worships at the altar of the album, an old-fashioned
instinct that serves her surprisingly well. (Battan) "Look What You Made Me Do" is a
counterattack against Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and numerous
online "black mold". And .

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.
In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.
Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.
Post
a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.

Executions Should Be Televised
Earlier this month, Georgia conducted its third execution this year. This would have passed relatively unnoticed if not for a controversy surrounding its videotaping. Lawyers for the condemned inmate, Andrew Grant DeYoung, had persuaded a judge to allow the recording of his last moments as part of an effort to obtain evidence on whether lethal injection caused unnecessary suffering.
Though he argued for videotaping, one of Mr. DeYoung’s defense lawyers, Brian Kammer, spoke out against releasing the footage to the public. “It’s a horrible thing that Andrew DeYoung had to go through,” Mr. Kammer said, “and it’s not for the public to see that.”
We respectfully disagree. Executions in the United States ought to be made public.
Right now, executions are generally open only to the press and a few select witnesses. For the rest of us, the vague contours are provided in the morning paper. Yet a functioning democracy demands maximum accountability and transparency. As long as executions remain behind closed doors, those are impossible. The people should have the right to see what is being done in their name and with their tax dollars.
This is particularly relevant given the current debate on whether specific methods of lethal injection constitute cruel and unusual punishment and therefore violate the Constitution.
There is a dramatic difference between reading or hearing of such an event and observing it through image and sound. (This is obvious to those who saw the footage of Saddam Hussein’s hanging in 2006 or the death of Neda Agha-Soltan during the protests in Iran in 2009.) We are not calling for opening executions completely to the public — conducting them before a live crowd — but rather for broadcasting them live or recording them for future release, on the web or TV.
When another Georgia inmate, Roy Blankenship, was executed in June, the prisoner jerked his head, grimaced, gasped, and lurched, according to a medical expert’s affidavit. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Mr. DeYoung, executed in the same manner, “showed no violent signs in death.” Voters should not have to rely on media accounts to understand what takes place when a man is put to death.
Cameras record legislative sessions and presidential debates, and courtrooms are allowing greater television access. When he was an Illinois state senator, President Obama successfully pressed for the videotaping of homicide interrogations and confessions. The most serious penalty of all surely demands equal if not greater scrutiny.
Opponents of our proposal offer many objections. State lawyers argued that making Mr. DeYoung’s execution public raised safety concerns..

This document summarizes a lecture on the social organization of Hindustani music. It discusses key terms like gharana (musical lineage), khandan (musical family), and the distinction between soloists and accompanists. Socially, soloists came from higher castes than accompanists. Musically, the performance structure involved a soloist leading with accompanists following. Over time, accompanists gained more prominence and independence, filling important musical roles and occasionally challenging the traditional hierarchy. Lineage and pedigree (gharana/khandan) became important for musicians' social and musical identities.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
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

Submission through Turnitin ONLY
Module Team
Assessment Information
This assignment is designed to assess learning outcomes 1-4 and
accounts for 50% of the overall module mark.
This assignment requires you to answer all of the following
three questions using appropriate academic referencing (CU
Harvard Referencing style) and examples where appropriate.
1) In 650 words discuss how the traditional supply chain can be
applied to a single manufactured item of your choosing.
2) In 650 words discuss the evolving role of logistics in light of
customer expectations.
3) In 650 words discuss the importance of quality for lean
manufacturing.
Each question is equally weighted.
Please refer to the Marking Scheme below for information on
how work is assessed and graded.
How to submit your assessment
The assessment must be submitted via Turnitin by 23.55 on 3rd
July 2017. No paper copies are required. You can access the
Turnitin link through the module web.
· Your coursework will be given a zero mark if you do not
submit a copy through Turnitin. Should you submit work on
time but fail the assignment, you will be offered a resit
6. opportunity but the resit mark will be capped at 40%.
· All work submitted after the submission deadline without a
valid and approved reason (see below) will be given a mark of
zero. Please note that a non-submission is not the same as a
failed submission; a failed submission counts as an attempt
whereas an absent mark does not necessarily allow you to resit
the coursework.
· The University wants you to do your best. However we know
that sometimes events happen which mean that you can’t submit
your coursework by the deadline – these events should be
beyond your control and not easy to predict. If this happens,
you can apply for an extension to your deadline for up to two
weeks, or if you need longer, you can apply for a deferral,
which takes you to the next assessment period (for example, to
the resit period following the main Assessment Boards). You
must apply before the deadline.
You will find information about the process and what is or is
not considered to be an event beyond your control at
https://share.coventry.ac.uk/students/Registry/Pages/Deferrals-
and-Extension.aspx
· Students MUST keep a copy and/or an electronic file of their
assignment.
· Checks will be made on your work using anti-plagiarism
software and approved plagiarism checking websites.
GUIDELINES AND BACKGROUND TO THIS ASSIGNMENT
Word Count Limit
Your word count includes in text citations but not the final
references or appendices. If you are more than 10% over or
under the word count limit you may lose marks as a 10%
penalty applies.
The contents of your References and Appendices are not
normally given a specific mark (though they may contribute to
your overall mark, as detailed in the assessment criteria). We
therefore recommend that you only use Appendices for
supporting material and not for the substantive part of your
7. work.
Plagiarism
As part of your study you will be involved in carrying out
research and using this when writing up your coursework. It is
important that you correctly acknowledge someone else’s
writing, thoughts or ideas and that you do not attempt to pass
this off as your own work. Doing so is known as plagiarism. It
is not acceptable to copy from another source without
acknowledging that it is someone else’s writing or
thinking. This includes using paraphrasing as well as direct
quotations. You are expected to correctly cite and reference the
works of others. The Centre for Academic Writing provides
documents to help you get this right. If you are unsure, please
visit www.coventry.ac.uk/caw.
Turnitin includes a plagiarism detection system and assessors
are experienced enough to recognise plagiarism when it occurs.
Copying another student’s work, using previous work of your
own or copying large sections from a book or the internet are
examples of plagiarism and carry serious consequences. Please
familiarise yourself with the CU Harvard Reference Style (on
Moodle) and use it correctly to avoid a case of plagiarism or
cheating being brought. Again, if you are unsure, please
contact the Centre for Academic Writing or a member of the
course team.
Return of Marked Work
You can expect to have marked work returned to you 3 weeks
after the submission date. Marks and feedback will be provided
online. As always, marks will have been internally moderated
only, and will therefore be provisional; your mark will be
formally agreed later in the year once the external examiner has
completed his / her review.
Marking and Assessment Scheme
Mark range
Guidelines
70 – 100%
8. In order to secure a mark in this range, a candidate must submit
an outstanding answer that could hardly be bettered. In addition
to the criteria identified below for a mark between 70-85%, an
answer scoring a mark of 85-100% would show an excellent
level of understanding and critical/analytic skills and
originality. For example, such an answer would include new
insights into supply chain management which are not drawn
from the literature but from the student's own critical thinking,
and which add something to the existing literature.
An essay in this range will demonstrate a strong understanding
of theories, concepts and issues relating to supply chain
management. There will be evidence of wide-ranging reading
from a variety of valid sources (as described and presented in
the marking criteria for 60-69%).
The assignment must be written in a clear, well-structured way
with a coherent and seamless flow and show evidence of
independent, critical thought. It must show extensive relevant
reading on the subject and intelligent use of the material to
present a well-balanced and well-argued assignment. For
example, the student will have considered a range of relevant
issues and be able to assess the strength and weaknesses of
various approaches/arguments and put forward a confident and
articulate view of their own.
60 – 69%
An essay in this mark range will demonstrate a good
understanding of the requirements of the assignment and of
theories, concepts and issues relating to supply chain
management. An assignment in this percentage range will
include a balanced discussion of issues central to the question,
how these are addressed by different authors or sources and
some critical thinking into their relative merits or shortcomings.
9. The answer will be contain few errors and little, if any,
irrelevant material. It will show evidence of reading from a
variety of sources (i.e. more than 3 or 4) but not so many
sources that the discussion loses focus and becomes unclear or
irrelevant. All sources should be of some academic merit (e.g.
books, journals, reports, media publications). Unreferenced
material from non-credible internet sources MUST be avoided.
All sources must be included and properly referenced in the
references. The assignment will be well-organised and clearly
written/presented overall.
50 – 59%
The answer will demonstrate some reasonable understanding of
relevant theories, concepts and issues relating to supply chain
management but also some minor errors of fact or
understanding.
The assignment will not be based on an extensive range of
sources (for example few references are included), or much
evidence that they have been read closely or well-understood.
For example, the assignment will retell sources rather than
analyse them.
The assignment may be quite general in part. Some errors may
be present and some irrelevant material may be included.
The essay may not be particularly well-structured, and/or
clearly presented and contain some spelling mistakes and
grammatical errors. A few sentences may be unclear.
40 - 49%
A mark within this percentage range will be given to an essay
which:
10. · shows some limited basic understanding of the subject but is
incomplete. For example, if it answers one part of a question
but not the rest.
· makes only very general statements
· includes some factual errors or misunderstandings e.g.
confusion between different companies or misuse of certain key
terms.
· shows limited use of material with limited reading/research on
the topic and includes only a very small number of references,
not all of which are included in the references
· includes spelling mistakes, is poorly structured with no clear
argument and grammar mistakes making it difficult to
understand.
· includes some irrelevant material.
35 – 39%
A mark within this percentage range will be given to an
assignment which:
· includes only a limited amount of relevant material.
· shows little evidence of reading/research on the topic. For
example, the essay includes only very few references, and relies
only on material or case studies used during the course.
· shows only a very basic understanding of the subject.
· is poorly presented with bad grammar, some spelling mistakes
and an incomplete reference list.
· has a poor structure and does not flow e.g. if there is no
conclusion or new facts are introduced in the conclusion rather
than introduction or main discussion.
· contains some fundamental errors.
20 – 34%
0 - 19%
A poor fail on this assignment means the assignment submitted:
· is poor and suggests that the student has spent very little time
11. on it e.g. if the answer is considerably under the word
requirement and/or presented in note form rather than as a fully
written up essay.
· bears little relation to the assignment topic.
· shows a poor understanding of theories, concepts and issues
relating to supply chain management and to the learning
outcomes detailed in this document.
· contains some or many fundamental errors and
misunderstandings of the academic or other material used. For
example many of the facts cited are incorrect.
· uses literature or other material which is largely irrelevant or
has no academic value
· is poorly structured and poorly presented. For example,
sentences may be hard to understand and contain many spelling
or grammatical mistakes.
· contains no references.
Work within this mark range shows a complete failure to meet
the requirements of the assignment. A mark in this range will be
given for an essay which:
· is below 500 words in length.
· bears no link to the question chosen and shows very little or
no knowledge or understanding of any of the theories, concepts
and issues relating to supply chain management. The answer
may be fundamentally wrong or trivial.
· contains no references and/or evidence of relevant reading.
· shows little understanding of the requirements of the
assignment and only a vague knowledge of the subject area.
· includes numerous fundamental errors in the understanding or
presentation of the material discussed. There is a general lack of
facts/evidence and what is provided is mostly incorrect and/or
irrelevant.
· is poorly structured and poorly presented. Spelling and
grammar are poor. Many sentences are incomprehensible.
· the examiners do not feel could be described as a serious
attempt by any reasonable standards.

Auctions / 3rd PartiesAdvantages of eBay...On top of the
14. general benefits of marketplaces mentioned above, eBay has
some specific advantages worth highlighting:Branding. EBay
offers multiple opportunities to create a branded presence
including HTML listings and eBay shops.Feedback. ebay’s
famous feedback system provides a trading history for every
member, acting to reassure customers that they are dealing with
a reputable business.Payment protection. For products
purchased via PayPal, consumers and retailers are both covered
for up to £3,250 per year (some conditions naturally
apply).Disposal of distressed stock. Whilst a good marketplace
for just about any product, eBay is particularly good for
disposing of distressed stock and gets far higher prices than
traditional liquidation channels.
http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/5918-selling-on-ebay-pros-and-
cons-for-smes
*
Auctions / 3rd Parties...and disadvantages
Low prices. EBay is the place where buyers go to find bargains.
Subsequently, there is fierce competition in the marketplace and
15. prices there tend to be lower than on the high street, or even on
the wider internet. This has lead to accusations that eBay drives
down prices and devalues brands. Many sellers on eBay are sole
traders with low fixed costs and no requirement to charge VAT
on their sales.Fraud. Unfortunately the very openness, ubiquity
and ease-of-use of the eBay system make it a magnet for
fraudsters of all types. This takes several forms including
identity theft, items not as described and products not arriving
at all.Poor practices. Most sellers provide an excellent level of
service but as in any organisation there are some rotten
eggs.Fees. Some sellers complain about the high level of fees.
At 8% to 10% of the sale value of an item, eBay compares very
favourably with other forms of online marketing.Time.
Answering buyer questions and providing feedback can make
selling on eBay time consuming.
http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/5918-selling-on-ebay-pros-and-
cons-for-smes
*
Auctions / 3rd PartiesAdvantages of Amazon...
16. Easy to list. As Amazon has its own catalogue, listing products
is trivial. Products which are not already in the catalogue can be
added as long as they have an EAN or UPC number (a barcode,
basically).A-to-Z guarantee. Amazon guarantees all marketplace
transactions so consumers can buy with complete
confidence.Chargeback protection. Payments are managed by
Amazon Payments, so sellers are protected from fraud-related
credit card chargebacks. Sellers still bear responsibility for
chargebacks related to their service.
http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/5918-selling-on-ebay-pros-and-
cons-for-smes
*
Auctions / 3rd Parties....and disadvantages
Painfully high fees. Whilst Amazon does not charge to list
items, it adds a hefty sales commission of 15% (+ VAT) for
most items. However, unlike eBay, which separates marketplace
and transaction fees, Amazon‟s fee includes transaction
processing.Lack of branding opportunities. Unlike eBay, there
are very limited branding opportunities available on Amazon for
17. standard sellers.Strict service levels. Marketplace sellers must
adhere to Amazon‟s performance level policies which relate to
refunds, shipping times and feedback. If a seller fails to meet
certain criteria, their account can be suspended.

Drop Shipping
A drop shipper is a product supplier who is willing to ship
individual orders. Usually when products are purchased for
resale, you have to buy them in bulk quantities, have them
shipped to you and then ship them out to your customer. Drop
shippers are the exception because they don’t have minimum
purchase requirements and will ship the item directly to your
customer when you place an order.
SOME PROS: No need for your business to stock inventory,
eliminating a significant cost for your business. Your site can
be open for business very quickly. No need for your own
warehouse or for filling your garage full of products that you
18. might never sell. Many drop shippers will also sell to the etailer
in “light bulk” (units of 500 or less), allowing the etailer to do
his own fulfillment.
http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/209-Drop-
Shipping-Pros-and-Cons
*
Drop ShippingSOME CONS: When doing research, know there
are a lot of scams and poor lists of drop shippers out there, and
get one that is regarded as credible.Since you don’t own the
inventory, you usually can’t control packaging and can’t include
coupons or offers to boost return business. There are different
fees from different companies for drop shipping, so do your
research. You don’t want shipping costs to be so high that it
turns away customers. You won’t get as good a deal on products
because you’re ordering one at a time as opposed to buying in
bulk. Selling multiple products from multiple suppliers can
result in a significant drop-ship fee for the customer. Many
suppliers that provide drop-shipping services also provide
various ways to integrate their products into your website.
19. There may be fees involved for using certain services from a
supplier, so be sure to do thorough research before beginning
any partnership.

Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a home based business by which a person
or group sign up to represent products and or services offered
over the internet.
Simply put, the affiliate marketing agent works as an
independent marketing or advertising agent who attempts to
draw more customers to purchase goods from the company the
affiliate marketer represents.
Just about anyone who owns a computer and can afford internet
service is a candidate to make extra cash through affiliate
marketing.

agent?

*
Affiliate MarketingSome of the pros for becoming an affiliate
marketing agent are:
Affiliate marketing is a relatively new field.Ecommerce
continues to grow at a rapid rate expanding the opportunities for
affiliate marketing agents.Start up costs can be are relatively
low ranging from $2000 down to $250 depending on what
equipment a person already has and how quickly that person
wants to get up to speed. Most people have a computer and
internet service already, so they only need to purchase a couple
ebooks on the subject to be on their way.There many low or no
cost training materials available to help get started.You are your
own boss.You make your own hours.
21. Affiliate MarketingSome of the cons of affiliate marketing are:
Learning how to become an effective affiliate marketing agent
can be time consuming and frustrating.Affiliate marketing takes
patience and perseverance.The new entrant will not make money
overnight. Affiliate marketing is not a get rich quick scheme.As
the opportunities for affiliate marketers increase, so do the
number of active competitors who are pushing the same or
similar product as yours.Some of your friends and family
members will think you are lazy and weird.Unless you have a
huge amount of seed capital to get started, you will probably
have to work 16 hour days to get things going.Choosing the
right products or services to represent can be a daunting task

Ad’s displayed on search engines but also third party sites
KEYWORDS
PPC - BenefitsCustom Budgeting – Every business has a
different budget, and PPC advertising allows you to specify how
much you want to spend on any given day or month. Custom
budgets tailored just for your business.
Geo Location – Local and regional campaigns benefit the most
from geographical targeting. If you have an event that is only
26. going to be in Florida, then just target your PPC ads to Florida,
and you’re set.
Simplicity - The interfaces on the PPC management pages has
gotten numbingly easy to use. Pick a keyword, a bid price and
an ad. Done.
24/7 advertising – Have an online store that runs itself? Then
PPC is definitely for you. Your store is open 24/7, so should
your ads. Even if you’re brick & mortar, your customers search
all hours of the day and night – not just during business hours.
http://www.kettlewell.net/8-benefits-of-ppc-advertising/
*
PPC - BenefitsImmediate Results – Setup campaign, turn it on.
Done. You’re advertising, and can have clicks right now, with
sales shortly after that. it doesn’t get any better than “instant
on”.Precision Targeting – By choosing keywords that match ads
that match the final landing pages means that you can precisely
match what a visitor is searching for and target to precisely the
page that has what they are searching for.Brand Awareness -
Even without people clicking on your PPC ads, if they see your
ad in the sideline, they are now aware of you. Some people will
27. even setup ads designed not to be clicked on, but for brand
awareness only. There are better ways then PPC for brand
awareness though.Trackability - PPC ads can easily be tracked
through the PPC interface that the search engines give you.
You can track what keywords are being searched, how many
clicked on your ads, and even track if they bought a product
from the click.

GUIDELINES AND BACKGROUND TO THIS ASSIGNMENT
Plagiarism
As part of your study you will be involved in carrying out
research and using this when writing up your coursework. It is
important that you correctly acknowledge someone else’s
writing, thoughts or ideas and that you do not attempt to pass
this off as your own work. Doing so is known as plagiarism. It
is not acceptable to copy from another source without
acknowledging that it is someone else’s writing or
thinking. This includes using paraphrasing as well as direct
quotations. You are expected to correctly cite and reference the
works of others. The Centre for Academic Writing provides
documents to help you get this right. If you are unsure, please
45. visit www.coventry.ac.uk/caw.
Moodle includes a plagiarism detection system and assessors are
experienced enough to recognise plagiarism when it occurs.
Copying another student’s work, using previous work of your
own or copying large sections from a book or the internet are
examples of plagiarism and carry serious consequences. Please
familiarise yourself with the CU Harvard Reference Style (on
Moodle) and use it correctly to avoid a case of plagiarism or
cheating being brought. Again, if you are unsure, please
contact the Centre for Academic Writing, your Academic
Personal Tutor or a member of the course team.
Return of Marked Work
You can expect to have marked work returned to you by 24th
JULY 2017. Marks and feedback will be provided online. As
always, marks will have been internally moderated only, and
will therefore be provisional; your mark will be formally agreed
later in the year once the external examiner has completed his /
her review.
Marking and Assessment Scheme
Mark range
Guidelines
70 – 100%
46. In order to secure a mark in this range, a candidate must submit
an outstanding answer that could hardly be bettered. In addition
to the criteria identified below for a mark between 70-85%, an
answer scoring a mark of 85-100% would show an excellent
level of understanding and critical/analytic skills and
originality. For example, such an answer would include new
insights into online business which are not drawn from the
literature but from the student's own critical thinking, and
which add something to the existing literature.
An essay in this range will demonstrate a strong understanding
of theories, concepts and issues relating to online business.
There will be evidence of wide-ranging reading from a variety
of valid sources (as described and presented in the marking
criteria for 60-69%).
The assignment must be written in a clear, well-structured way
with a coherent and seamless flow and show evidence of
independent, critical thought. It must show extensive relevant
reading on the subject and intelligent use of the material to
present a well-balanced and well-argued assignment. For
example, the student will have considered a range of relevant
issues and be able to assess the strength and weaknesses of
various approaches/arguments and put forward a confident and
articulate view of their own.
47. 60 – 69%
An essay in this mark range will demonstrate a good
understanding of the requirements of the assignment and of
theories, concepts and issues relating to online business. An
assignment in this percentage range will include a balanced
discussion of issues central to the question, how these are
addressed by different authors or sources and some critical
thinking into their relative merits or shortcomings.
The answer will be contain few errors and little, if any,
irrelevant material. It will show evidence of reading from a
variety of sources (i.e. more than 3 or 4) but not so many
sources that the discussion loses focus and becomes unclear or
irrelevant. All sources should be of some academic merit (e.g.
books, journals, reports, media publications). Unreferenced
material from non-credible internet sources MUST be avoided.
All sources must be included and properly referenced in the
references. The assignment will be well-organised and clearly
written/presented overall.
50 – 59%
The answer will demonstrate some reasonable understanding of
relevant theories, concepts and issues relating to online
48. business but also some minor errors of fact or understanding.
The assignment will not be based on an extensive range of
sources (for example few references are included), or much
evidence that they have been read closely or well-understood.
For example, the assignment will retell sources rather than
analyse them.
The assignment may be quite general in part. Some errors may
be present and some irrelevant material may be included.
The essay may not be particularly well-structured, and/or
clearly presented and contain some spelling mistakes and
grammatical errors. A few sentences may be unclear.
40 - 49%
A mark within this percentage range will be given to an essay
which:
· shows some limited basic understanding of the subject but is
incomplete. For example, if it answers one part of a question
but not the rest.
· makes only very general statements
· includes some factual errors or misunderstandings e.g.
49. confusion between different companies or misuse of certain key
terms.
· shows limited use of material with limited reading/research on
the topic and includes only a very small number of references,
not all of which are included in the references
· includes spelling mistakes, is poorly structured with no clear
argument and grammar mistakes making it difficult to
understand.
· includes some irrelevant material.
35 – 39%
A mark within this percentage range will be given to an
assignment which:
· includes only a limited amount of relevant material.
· shows little evidence of reading/research on the topic. For
example, the essay includes only very few references, and relies
only on material or case studies used during the course.
· shows only a very basic understanding of the subject.
· is poorly presented with bad grammar, some spelling mistakes
and an incomplete reference list.
· has a poor structure and does not flow e.g. if there is no
conclusion or new facts are introduced in the conclusion rather
than introduction or main discussion.
· contains some fundamental errors.
20 – 34%
50. 0 - 19%
A poor fail on this assignment means the assignment submitted:
· is poor and suggests that the student has spent very little time
on it e.g. if the answer is considerably under the word
requirement and/or presented in note form rather than as a fully
written up essay.
· bears little relation to the assignment topic.
· shows a poor understanding of theories, concepts and issues
relating to online business and to the learning outcomes detailed
in this document.
· contains some or many fundamental errors and
misunderstandings of the academic or other material used. For
example many of the facts cited are incorrect.
· uses literature or other material which is largely irrelevant or
has no academic value
· is poorly structured and poorly presented. For example,
sentences may be hard to understand and contain many spelling
or grammatical mistakes.
· contains no references.
Work within this mark range shows a complete failure to meet
the requirements of the assignment. A mark in this range will be
given for an essay which:
51. · is below 500 words in length.
· bears no link to the question chosen and shows very little or
no knowledge or understanding of any of the theories, concepts
and issues relating to online business. The answer may be
fundamentally wrong or trivial.
· contains no references and/or evidence of relevant reading.
· shows little understanding of the requirements of the
assignment and only a vague knowledge of the subject area.
· includes numerous fundamental errors in the understanding or
presentation of the material discussed. There is a general lack of
facts/evidence and what is provided is mostly incorrect and/or
irrelevant.
· is poorly structured and poorly presented. Spelling and
grammar are poor. Many sentences are incomprehensible.
· the examiners do not feel could be described as a serious
attempt by any reasonable standards.
