Concert Evaluation AssignmentIn a well-written essay of approx.docx
Concert Evaluation Assignment
In a well-written essay of approximately 700 words (typed), create a review of a live professional concert relevant to this course. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the concert and focus mainly on the most important/striking elements and qualities of the performance. Use that information to arrive at an overall evaluation of the event.
Hints to keep you writing:
Describe: This is the very basic and factual content of your paper and should function as the introduction to your review. When was the concert? Where was it? Who performed? What kind of music was performed? Was there any particular theme to the concert? Was there anything unusual about the concert occasion? Don't list everything on the program, but do summarize the important information.
Analyze: To analyze something is to examine its components and, more than just describe them, to seek out relationships among the parts. What were the outstanding musical characteristics of the pieces? How did the pieces that were performed compare to each other? How do they compare to what you have learned in class and to music you have heard at other times? This section is where you may want to use the musical terms and concepts that have been discussed in class (but see the section below on using musical terminology).
Interpret: Did you find some meaning in the music? What do you think may have been the original significance of the music? Does it have a different significance today? What people might want to listen to this music, and why? There are no right or wrong answers to these kinds of questions, but always give examples and make supporting statements to back up your assertions.
Judge: Remember that a concert consists of two things: the music being performed and the people who are doing the performing. Don't confuse the two. Do talk about each one. Did you like the music, and why (or why not)? Regardless of whether you liked the music, did you think that the performers did a good job? What, if anything, do you think would have improved the performance? Again, these are individual and subjective responses, but give explanations for your judgments.
Disclaimer and General Guidelines: Do not write your review only by answering some or all of the questions listed in the above paragraphs. They are not intended to be a checklist of things that you must write about, but rather are suggestions to direct your thinking about various aspects of the music and performance. The principal goal of this assignment is for you to listen critically to a live performance and then to articulate in writing your observations and reactions. Originality of thought and clarity of expression are more important to this assignment than is addressing each and every point outlined above.
Using Program Notes: Many concert programs provide information about either the music being performed or the performers. These notes are for your benefit and can assist you in understanding .

Attend a live (no podcasts, etc) western classical music performance and write a typed report. Make
sure to review all instructions prior to attending a performance.
Concert Guidelines:
1. The level of the performance must be college-age performers or professional—no middle/high
school/etc. performances.
2. The performance must be of western art music, similar to the genres discussed in text chapters

include a title, a header with your name and the date, and page numbers.
Writing Voice and style: Your colleagues taking this class should be able to read the report and gain a
clear concept of your experience. You will not need to define the terminology we have covered in
class, but you do need to keep in mind that your audience will not HEAR this concert and will rely on
a sense of the experience solely from your descriptions. This paper should have an academic style-
formal, with no contractions used.
Content: The report is YOUR observations of the concert. A successful report will address these
categories:
1. Performance setting and types of music: Give the date, place, and name(s) of groups
performing. Briefly describe the performance setting- for example, you might include your
observations on the ambiance of the performance space, performers’ attire dress, audience’s

Humanities Critical Report AssignmentThis assignment has bee
Humanities Critical Report Assignment
This assignment has been adjusted slightly for our current situation. Originally it was about viewing LIVE art, theatre, dance, music or other artistic expression - but for one or both of the
two
papers you may need to stay in the online world. If you have the opportunity to experience something live, do so carefully. I will give you some online options of things to do or you can discover your own.
Find ideas HERE
.
The Humanities Critical Report involves you in the humanities as an audience member or observer. This activity calls for a detailed critical report on your experience of somebody else’s creativity and skill. For example, you might watch and listen to a live or video performance of a concert, view an art exhibit or museum in person or online, watch a live theatre performance or one recorded on video, or watch a documentary film, or other such events. Fictional or “story” films and television are not allowed for this assignment. If you are uncertain of your choice, just ask.
These are two different assignments, so select
two
DIFFERENT
events
- one event for Critical Report 1 and a different event for Critical Report 2 - and write
two different
report papers -
ONE EXPERIENCE PER PAPER
. So, for example, one report on Theatre and the second report on a Concert – not two of the same. Due dates for each report are indicated on the schedule. Every semester, someone turns in the first Critical Report having written about two events OR they turn in the second report having written about the same type of event. Two different events. Two different reports. In selecting an event, keep the following criteria in mind to help you make this event the most appropriate kind of experience for your learning:
If possible, an event involving
professionals
is preferable to one presenting amateurs. Semi-professional events would be acceptable.
A
live
event or a recording of a
live
event is stronger in its impact and appeal than a version produced for video.
This should be a
new
event that you are seeing or experiencing specifically to write a critical evaluation.
An
unaccustomed
event for you will be a greater challenge and learning experience than one which you frequently enjoy.
Your critical report should reflect your careful attention to all aspects of the event you choose to attend. The report should be in paragraph form and conform to the Guidelines for Writing Assignments in the
Course Guidelines
and be at least 500 words or two pages long. Use the guide materials below to help gather appropriate information for your report. Keep in mind that the finished product is in report or essay form - not a list of answers to questions.
For each event, specify the name or title and the date and place where it occurred.
ART EXHIBIT
Briefly describe what the exhibit was about or the kinds of materials it displayed.
List the titles and artists of at least four composit ...
Final AssignmentFor your final, you will select an album, a film.docx
Final Assignment
For your final, you will select an album, a film, or theatrical performance to analyze from the approved list that follows. This task is similar to the midterm. However, these are larger works, and your analysis will necessarily be more in-depth. Like the midterm, this analysis should be your own, unique thoughts and ideas. Please do not use outside source material for your assignment.
Your task is to create an informative and visually attractive PowerPoint presentation. Your PowerPoint is due by Saturday at noon on week 8. You should post your PowerPoint to the final forum link in Moodle link on our week 8 page. Your PowerPoint should include the following:
Slide 1: Include your name and the discipline you’re going to focus on (music, theater, cinema).
Slide 2: Identify the artist, show a clip or visual representation of your selection, and discuss why you find the work inspiring. Why did you choose it?
Slide 3: Give your reader information about the work. What is it?
If it’s music, is it an album, a symphony, an opera? What is its form and genre—classical, jazz, fusion, rock, rap?
If it’s a theatrical work, is it a play, a musical, or improv?
If it’s cinema, what is its genre—narrative, documentary or absolute? Is there a more specific sub-genre you can identify?
Slide 4 and 5: Each of these endeavors has a creative director. In these slides, you will discuss the choices that those creative directors made. What are the elements you notice in the work? What are the moving pieces? How is it put together?
If it’s music, is the piece instrumental, vocal, or a combination? What instruments are employed? What is the timber and tone of the piece? What do you notice about beat, tempo, melody, harmony, texture, and dynamics?
If it’s a theatrical work, what do you notice about theater type, scene, set design, costuming, and lighting? Are there discernable acts? How does the plot unfold? Can you identify the plot elements of complication, reversal, climax, and denouement.
It it’s a film, what do you notice about the mise-en-scene? What do you notice about the types of shots the director employs? What do you notice about the editing and the kinds of cuts he/she uses? Do you see anything interesting or important with lighting?
Slide 6 and 7: In these slides, discuss how the work stimulates the senses. In the context of a larger work, like these, this is how all of the individual elements come together to create a whole experience.
If it’s music, how does the composition flow? How does one song transition to the next? Does an upbeat tempo lead to a more somber offering? What is the effect of this juxtaposition? Is there a message to the album, opera, or symphony? What is that message? What does the artist/composer want you to know or understand? How can you tell? What aspects of the composition contribute to this idea?
If it’s a theatrical work, how does one act move to the.

Activity #1—Theatricality in the World
Pts. Possible:
50
**Submit your document as a .doc or .docx file in the assignment**
Objective:
To examine a live event from life to determine how theatre and theatrical elements are utilized in creating meaning, visual impact and relationship with an audience.
THEATRICALITY DEFINED
:
If you look up the word you will find definitions such as “superficial” and “artificial.” This isn’t quite what theatre people mean by
theatricality
, particularly as related to this exercise. Theatricality for this exercise is looking at a real-life event and observing how artistic, theatrical elements—staging (the movement of the people), and the stage set-up (scenery), costuming, lighting, sound and even scripts and acting—are utilized to impact an audience. When completing this activity, I encourage you to examine the way in which the “creators” and “performers” of the event are manipulating (and I don’t necessarily mean manipulate in a negative way) the “audience” for a desired outcome.
DESCRIPTION:
I highly suggest that you complete the readings for Module 1 first. Then, select and attend a local event—political rally, parade, church service, athletic event—any event that you feel lends itself to elements of theatricality. Please attend safely in this Covid world. If we need to find a virtual event for safety sake, please get in touch with me as soon as you can. Do not choose to see a play or a movie; you are examining a non-theatrical event that borrows elements of theatre to be more impactful. Photograph or attain printed materials/ticket stubs to submit as verification of attendance along with your paper. Use the following questions as a guide in writing a
3 page (minimum), MLA formatted, descriptive/reflective essay
that analyzes the theatricality of the event comparing real-life and elements of theatre. Note: Remember that I did not see the event, so try to “set it up” for me before diving in. Really make me see the event. Set the stage, so to speak. Proofread your work carefully.
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Use the following questions to guide your writing, but do not treat this paper as a question and answer session. Nor should you be limited by these questions if you have observations that you believe pertain to the spirit of this assignment.
Above all don’t simply describe the event without referring back to the elements of theatre as outlined in your text. Use the theatre terms to talk about the real life event. You must make the connections back to theatricality.
1) PERFORMER/CREATOR AND AUDIENCE RELATIONSHIP -- What do you think was the “intent” of the creators/performers? How was a relationship with the audience established? Was the attempt successful? how? Provide some specific examples of audience/creator/performer interaction that justify your point.
2) STRUCTURE OF EVENT / SCRIPT -- Did the event follow a structure of any kind? Was that structure conducive to a particular "fl.
The Assignment Your task is to attend and observe a music event, an.docx
The Assignment: Your task is to attend and observe a music event, and analyze it as part of a music-culture; then to share your experience in a short talk, as well as create a brief ethnography (written documentation) of the musical expression.
Objective:To better understand how musical expressions occur in a given time and place; and to have an experience of conducting et
hnographic fieldwork, a four-fold process that includes preparation, participant-observation in a community setting, analysis of data collected, and dissemination of findings.

3. In addition, think of and write out (at least) five preliminary questions — pertaining to the performance, the music, and/or the community/culture — for which you hope to find answers in the course of attending the performance. You must include these questions into your paper, by working it into a paragraph of text. Also write about how you were able to find answers, or not.
4. Attend this performance of music. Be sure to arrive early and stay until the end of the performance. NOTE: You must attend a live show after reading this assignment (that is, you cannot watch a video, and you cannot write about something you’ve already seen).
5. Observe various aspects of the performance, try to answer your Preliminary Questions, and include summaries of both of the following areas in your report:
Genre, Musicians, Music, Ensemble
• What is the genre of music?
• What are the names of the composers of the music? When did they live?
• Who are the musicians, and what is their group’s name?
• What instruments are being played? In what textures?
• Are there solos? Solos with ensembles? Only ensemble playing?
• How long are the pieces of music? How many pieces?
• Is there much repetition?
• Do the musicians improvise or play composed music, or both?

Humanities Critical Report Assignment
This assignment has been adjusted slightly for our current situation. Originally it was about viewing LIVE art, theatre, dance, music or other artistic expression - but for one or both of the
two
papers you may need to stay in the online world. If you have the opportunity to experience something live, do so carefully. I will give you some online options of things to do or you can discover your own.
Find ideas HERE
.
The Humanities Critical Report involves you in the humanities as an audience member or observer. This activity calls for a detailed critical report on your experience of somebody else’s creativity and skill. For example, you might watch and listen to a live or video performance of a concert, view an art exhibit or museum in person or online, watch a live theatre performance or one recorded on video, or watch a documentary film, or other such events. Fictional or “story” films and television are not allowed for this assignment. If you are uncertain of your choice, just ask.
These are two different assignments, so select
two
DIFFERENT
events
- one event for Critical Report 1 and a different event for Critical Report 2 - and write
two different
report papers -
ONE EXPERIENCE PER PAPER
. So, for example, one report on Theatre and the second report on a Concert – not two of the same. Due dates for each report are indicated on the schedule. Every semester, someone turns in the first Critical Report having written about two events OR they turn in the second report having written about the same type of event. Two different events. Two different reports. In selecting an event, keep the following criteria in mind to help you make this event the most appropriate kind of experience for your learning:
If possible, an event involving
professionals
is preferable to one presenting amateurs. Semi-professional events would be acceptable.
A
live
event or a recording of a
live
event is stronger in its impact and appeal than a version produced for video.
This should be a
new
event that you are seeing or experiencing specifically to write a critical evaluation.
An
unaccustomed
event for you will be a greater challenge and learning experience than one which you frequently enjoy.
Your critical report should reflect your careful attention to all aspects of the event you choose to attend. The report should be in paragraph form and conform to the Guidelines for Writing Assignments in the
Course Guidelines
and be at least 500 words or two pages long. Use the guide materials below to help gather appropriate information for your report. Keep in mind that the finished product is in report or essay form - not a list of answers to questions.
For each event, specify the name or title and the date and place where it occurred.
ART EXHIBIT
Briefly describe what the exhibit was about or the kinds of materials it displayed.
List the titles and artists of at least four composit ...
Final AssignmentFor your final, you will select an album, a film.docx
Final Assignment
For your final, you will select an album, a film, or theatrical performance to analyze from the approved list that follows. This task is similar to the midterm. However, these are larger works, and your analysis will necessarily be more in-depth. Like the midterm, this analysis should be your own, unique thoughts and ideas. Please do not use outside source material for your assignment.
Your task is to create an informative and visually attractive PowerPoint presentation. Your PowerPoint is due by Saturday at noon on week 8. You should post your PowerPoint to the final forum link in Moodle link on our week 8 page. Your PowerPoint should include the following:
Slide 1: Include your name and the discipline you’re going to focus on (music, theater, cinema).
Slide 2: Identify the artist, show a clip or visual representation of your selection, and discuss why you find the work inspiring. Why did you choose it?
Slide 3: Give your reader information about the work. What is it?
If it’s music, is it an album, a symphony, an opera? What is its form and genre—classical, jazz, fusion, rock, rap?
If it’s a theatrical work, is it a play, a musical, or improv?
If it’s cinema, what is its genre—narrative, documentary or absolute? Is there a more specific sub-genre you can identify?
Slide 4 and 5: Each of these endeavors has a creative director. In these slides, you will discuss the choices that those creative directors made. What are the elements you notice in the work? What are the moving pieces? How is it put together?
If it’s music, is the piece instrumental, vocal, or a combination? What instruments are employed? What is the timber and tone of the piece? What do you notice about beat, tempo, melody, harmony, texture, and dynamics?
If it’s a theatrical work, what do you notice about theater type, scene, set design, costuming, and lighting? Are there discernable acts? How does the plot unfold? Can you identify the plot elements of complication, reversal, climax, and denouement.
It it’s a film, what do you notice about the mise-en-scene? What do you notice about the types of shots the director employs? What do you notice about the editing and the kinds of cuts he/she uses? Do you see anything interesting or important with lighting?
Slide 6 and 7: In these slides, discuss how the work stimulates the senses. In the context of a larger work, like these, this is how all of the individual elements come together to create a whole experience.
If it’s music, how does the composition flow? How does one song transition to the next? Does an upbeat tempo lead to a more somber offering? What is the effect of this juxtaposition? Is there a message to the album, opera, or symphony? What is that message? What does the artist/composer want you to know or understand? How can you tell? What aspects of the composition contribute to this idea?
If it’s a theatrical work, how does one act move to the.

**Submit your document as a .doc or .docx file in the assignment**
Objective:
To examine a live event from life to determine how theatre and theatrical elements are utilized in creating meaning, visual impact and relationship with an audience.
THEATRICALITY DEFINED
:
If you look up the word you will find definitions such as “superficial” and “artificial.” This isn’t quite what theatre people mean by
theatricality
, particularly as related to this exercise. Theatricality for this exercise is looking at a real-life event and observing how artistic, theatrical elements—staging (the movement of the people), and the stage set-up (scenery), costuming, lighting, sound and even scripts and acting—are utilized to impact an audience. When completing this activity, I encourage you to examine the way in which the “creators” and “performers” of the event are manipulating (and I don’t necessarily mean manipulate in a negative way) the “audience” for a desired outcome.
DESCRIPTION:
I highly suggest that you complete the readings for Module 1 first. Then, select and attend a local event—political rally, parade, church service, athletic event—any event that you feel lends itself to elements of theatricality. Please attend safely in this Covid world. If we need to find a virtual event for safety sake, please get in touch with me as soon as you can. Do not choose to see a play or a movie; you are examining a non-theatrical event that borrows elements of theatre to be more impactful. Photograph or attain printed materials/ticket stubs to submit as verification of attendance along with your paper. Use the following questions as a guide in writing a
3 page (minimum), MLA formatted, descriptive/reflective essay
that analyzes the theatricality of the event comparing real-life and elements of theatre. Note: Remember that I did not see the event, so try to “set it up” for me before diving in. Really make me see the event. Set the stage, so to speak. Proofread your work carefully.
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Use the following questions to guide your writing, but do not treat this paper as a question and answer session. Nor should you be limited by these questions if you have observations that you believe pertain to the spirit of this assignment.
Above all don’t simply describe the event without referring back to the elements of theatre as outlined in your text. Use the theatre terms to talk about the real life event. You must make the connections back to theatricality.
1) PERFORMER/CREATOR AND AUDIENCE RELATIONSHIP -- What do you think was the “intent” of the creators/performers? How was a relationship with the audience established? Was the attempt successful? how? Provide some specific examples of audience/creator/performer interaction that justify your point.
2) STRUCTURE OF EVENT / SCRIPT -- Did the event follow a structure of any kind? Was that structure conducive to a particular "fl.
The Assignment Your task is to attend and observe a music event, an.docx
The Assignment: Your task is to attend and observe a music event, and analyze it as part of a music-culture; then to share your experience in a short talk, as well as create a brief ethnography (written documentation) of the musical expression.
Objective:To better understand how musical expressions occur in a given time and place; and to have an experience of conducting et
hnographic fieldwork, a four-fold process that includes preparation, participant-observation in a community setting, analysis of data collected, and dissemination of findings.
Requirements:
1. Select a performance of live music this semester, at either an event sponsored by the university or off-campus. We will discuss your topic in class at some point. You may attend any type of event in which music is performed, including but not limited to: religious services on or off campus, cultural shows, sporting events, dances, weddings, karaoke, performances by the Music Department’s ensembles, street music, musicals, etc.
2. Decide soon what performance you will attend, including: the date and location, genre of music, names of performers (if known).
3. In addition, think of and write out (at least) five preliminary questions — pertaining to the performance, the music, and/or the community/culture — for which you hope to find answers in the course of attending the performance. You must include these questions into your paper, by working it into a paragraph of text. Also write about how you were able to find answers, or not.
4. Attend this performance of music. Be sure to arrive early and stay until the end of the performance. NOTE: You must attend a live show after reading this assignment (that is, you cannot watch a video, and you cannot write about something you’ve already seen).
5. Observe various aspects of the performance, try to answer your Preliminary Questions, and include summaries of both of the following areas in your report:
Genre, Musicians, Music, Ensemble
• What is the genre of music?
• What are the names of the composers of the music? When did they live?
• Who are the musicians, and what is their group’s name?
• What instruments are being played? In what textures?
• Are there solos? Solos with ensembles? Only ensemble playing?
• How long are the pieces of music? How many pieces?
• Is there much repetition?
• Do the musicians improvise or play composed music, or both?
• What rhythms can you count? What are the tempos? Is there variety?
Context, Audience, Interaction, Behavior
• What is the physical space where the music happens? Describe it.
• What is the setting and context of the performance?
• Is there anything unusual about the performance?
• How does the audience behave? Are they all doing similar things?
• Describe the behavior of musicians and audience - imagine your reader has never been to any concerts and has no way of knowing how people act.
• What do some of the musicians and/or audience members and/or event staff have to say to you? Interview the.

GUIDE TO BASIC ELEMENTS
OF THEATRICAL PRODUCTION
Scenery * Acting * Lighting * Costumes * Spatial Relationships * Sound * Audience
By Dr. Barbara Clayton
Successful writing about theatrical performance relies on the writer's ability to identify, describe,
analyze, and evaluate specific elements of production. Usually shaped by a director, designers,
and actors in response to dramatic text, these production elements create the meanings
spectators take from theatrical performance. All of these elements interact, so the planning of a
production is usually a collaborative endeavor by the director, designers, and actors to create a
specific theatrical experience.
Intended to aid students in analyzing production elements in performance, the following
Guide briefly summarizes the primary production elements.
Scenery
Scenery provides the physical environment in which the dramatic action comes to life. Two
important functions of scenery are to create a visual world for the dramatic action and to provide
an interesting space for actors and director to use in creating physical action onstage. Scene
designers use style, color, mass, form, line, and texture within a defined space (usually a stage)
to create the world of the play. When analyzing scenery in a production, consider the following
topics:
● Environmental conditions: What does the scenery convey about time of year,
weather, geography, or other environmental conditions?
● Movement potential: How do actors enter and exit the stage? Are there staircases,
spiraling ramps, large open spaces, or other features that suggest specific movement
patterns?
● Style: Does the scenery create a realistic sense of time and place? Or is the space
symbolic or abstract? Does the scenery employ scenic conventions from a different
time or place? Japanese Kabuki staging,.

CRITICAL REPORTS
During the course of the semester you are responsible for writing two typed 3-4 page
critical reports. These papers are critiques of a film and play that you watch, and should
be written in the first person (example: I felt that the actress playing Olivia captured
the part perfectly, with small gestures with her hands, showing Olivia’s tendency to be
fussy.)
When writing about plot, please keep the synopsis down to a few (2-4) sentences, no
more than paragraph. You can use plot points, however, to emphasize a point about
pacing, character development, lighting, costumes, etc… (example: When Wesley
becomes enraged at finding his ice cream eaten after dreaming about it all day, the
lights go red, and shift to under lighting, denoting that he’s really ticked off.)
Papers must be:
1. Handed in at the BEGINNING of class. Late papers will be reduced by 10
points off for every class they are late. This includes turning paper in after class
has started.
AND
2. Three to four FULL pages typed. Papers less than 3 full pages will receive 10
points off immediately.
HELPFUL HINTS
-This report is not about summarizing the story. You should assume that the reader is
familiar with the subject matter in question and any story synopsis should be confined to
NO MORE THAN A FEW SENTENCES.
-You can earn an additional 5/10 points extra credit per paper for utilizing the Writing
Center. Papers must have any suggested corrections completed.
-Please make sure that you ITALICIZE or UNDERLINE the play or film titles.
The general outline can be the following, based on the 6 Aristotelian points of dramatic
criticism (theme, plot, characters, language, music, spectacle), and Critical Perspectives
(social, human, aesthetic/artistic, and entertainment values):
1. Give a short introduction of the film/play you are critiquing.
A. WHAT IS BEING DONE?
What is the production attempting to do? Is the production meant to criticize
society or an individual? Is it meant to provide commentary or call to action?
Educate or entertain? What are the characters attempting to do?
(Use Theme and some Plot, Social and Human significances here.)
B. HOW WELL HAS IT BEEN DONE?
Has the creator of the work reached their goals? Have the performers and
director brought the work to life? Have the characters done what they set out
to do?
(Use Character, Language, Music, Spectacle here with Aesthetic/Artistic
points here.)
C. IS IT WORTH DOING?
Is this kind of production valid? Is it meaningful or significant to you…to
others?
(Use Entertainment value here.)
FILMS FOR THE MOTION PICTURE CRITICAL .
A. Performance setting Give the date, place, and name(s) of groups
A. Performance setting: Give the date, place, and name(s) of groups performing. Briefly describe the performance setting-for example, you might include your observations on the ambiance of the performance space, performers’ attire dress, audience’s attire, etc.and how it affected your concert-going experience.
B. Type(s) of music: Which types/genres of music were performed (Just DO the Orchestra Concert). Which historical eras were represented on the program? What were the performing forces needed to perform the works? Were concert programs with notes provided? Did you read or research about the works before or after the performance? If so, in which source(s)?
C. Choose two movements or short pieces from the program and contrast/comparethese works with references to specific musical elements. You must choose two separate movements or pieces. Your essay may include, but is not limited to, a discussion of the melody, key and scale mode, rhythm, form, harmony, texture, text, etc. I want you to use your ears and listen for the basic elements discussed in class and apply them to the pieces of your concert. Try to highlight what really “stuck out” to you about the music in this section.
D. Evaluate your concert-going experience.What did you enjoy about the music, what would have improved your experience, how did the performance fit or foil your expectations?Were there any aspects of the performance that were unfamiliar surprising to you? If so, what? For Concert Report #1-tell me what type of concert you might consider for your second concert report.

Homework 1Reference 1 In your this reflection assignment, Id.docx
Homework 1
Reference 1:
In your this reflection assignment, I'd like you to select any work of art/art object or performer/group that has a meaningful connection to you and do a detailed reflective examination. It can be a theatre production, a song, a film, an artist (and their work in general) anything that you feel passionate and connected to. Your essay should do three things:
1) it should analyze the art/artist using terminology from the semester. How are they (the work of art or the artist) examples of stuff we talked about this semester? Be specific.
2) it should consider the relationship of the art/artist to society, determine if the art/artist shapes, reflects, and/or critiques society. If they do, how do they do that? What are they critiquing, reflecting on?
3) it should analyze the impact of individual perspectives and positionality (the social and political context that creates your identity in terms of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability status) of the art/artist, both in the way the art was created or how the artist creates it, and how audiences respond to the art.
Requirements:
In other words, your essay should demonstrate your ability to do the things the course objectives say you will be able to do at the end of the class.
Essays must be at least 3 paragraphs long, for a total of about 750 words:
paragraph 1 is the description or terms and specifics related to terms and the art/artists
paragraph 2 contains the relationship of the art/artist to society
paragraph 3 demonstrates an understanding of how individual perspectives might respond to the art object/artist (including how it might impact the creators)

Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use.docx
Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use of computers and information technology to cause severe disruption or widespread fear in society. The Center for Strategic and International Studies reported in March 2019 that Chinese Hackers targeted at least 27 Universities to steal Naval Technologies research, being one of many cyber-terrorist attacks. Besides these attacks, Hacktivism is a cyber-attack either by legal or illegal digital means in the pursuit of political ends, free speech, and the right of free speech. A most notable example would be the group Anonymous conducting numerous hacks from 2008 to 2012 against companies, organizations, and even governments that go against their moral codes. Behind the Tunisia Operation in 2010, Anonymous took down eight government websites with DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks in support of Arab Spring movements. Between the two Cyberterrorism is meant to instill fear and panic in society. At the same time, Hacktivism brings about a voice or an opposition to the government and other organizations to support a cause against them. Hacktivism is more politically based, pointing out flaws in the system raising awareness on our rights as human beings. Advances in technology lead to newer and different types of attacks either group can conduct. From viruses waiting for you to log into your bank account to massive-scale attacks against the banks' systems themselves, terrorists, or hacktivists, have infinite ways to infiltrate and attack for their cause. Many laws have been put in place to combat these groups, acts put in place such as Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) or Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 helping share information and build research and development to fight against cyber-attacks. Given the push against both groups by our government, I can't help but feel concern for our rights and freedoms that may be infringed upon that our government or some corporation is doing while combating the whistleblower with Hacktivist tactics. It only keeps me and others mindful while fighting against cyberattacks that may be classified as cyberterrorism. There is a fine line on what would be a genuine noble act of hacking or something labeled as cyberterrorism placing information and lives at risk, its not so black and white as some areas can be considered grey. Thankfully some events in history, thanks to Hacktivism has brought good results that benefit society, such as Operation "Nice" which organized to hunt down the terrorist responsible for attacks in the French city, killing nearly a hundred people. Also, Operation Darknet which infiltrated 40 child pornography websites publishing 1500 plus names of frequent visitors to the sites stopping such activity. In these instances, I am for hacktivism and specific groups that act for the benefit of society and our rights as humans.

GUIDE TO BASIC ELEMENTS
OF THEATRICAL PRODUCTION
Scenery * Acting * Lighting * Costumes * Spatial Relationships * Sound * Audience
By Dr. Barbara Clayton
Successful writing about theatrical performance relies on the writer's ability to identify, describe,
analyze, and evaluate specific elements of production. Usually shaped by a director, designers,
and actors in response to dramatic text, these production elements create the meanings
spectators take from theatrical performance. All of these elements interact, so the planning of a
production is usually a collaborative endeavor by the director, designers, and actors to create a
specific theatrical experience.
Intended to aid students in analyzing production elements in performance, the following
Guide briefly summarizes the primary production elements.
Scenery
Scenery provides the physical environment in which the dramatic action comes to life. Two
important functions of scenery are to create a visual world for the dramatic action and to provide
an interesting space for actors and director to use in creating physical action onstage. Scene
designers use style, color, mass, form, line, and texture within a defined space (usually a stage)
to create the world of the play. When analyzing scenery in a production, consider the following
topics:
● Environmental conditions: What does the scenery convey about time of year,
weather, geography, or other environmental conditions?
● Movement potential: How do actors enter and exit the stage? Are there staircases,
spiraling ramps, large open spaces, or other features that suggest specific movement
patterns?
● Style: Does the scenery create a realistic sense of time and place? Or is the space
symbolic or abstract? Does the scenery employ scenic conventions from a different
time or place? Japanese Kabuki staging,.

CRITICAL REPORTS
During the course of the semester you are responsible for writing two typed 3-4 page
critical reports. These papers are critiques of a film and play that you watch, and should
be written in the first person (example: I felt that the actress playing Olivia captured
the part perfectly, with small gestures with her hands, showing Olivia’s tendency to be
fussy.)
When writing about plot, please keep the synopsis down to a few (2-4) sentences, no
more than paragraph. You can use plot points, however, to emphasize a point about
pacing, character development, lighting, costumes, etc… (example: When Wesley
becomes enraged at finding his ice cream eaten after dreaming about it all day, the
lights go red, and shift to under lighting, denoting that he’s really ticked off.)
Papers must be:
1. Handed in at the BEGINNING of class. Late papers will be reduced by 10
points off for every class they are late. This includes turning paper in after class
has started.
AND
2. Three to four FULL pages typed. Papers less than 3 full pages will receive 10
points off immediately.
HELPFUL HINTS
-This report is not about summarizing the story. You should assume that the reader is
familiar with the subject matter in question and any story synopsis should be confined to
NO MORE THAN A FEW SENTENCES.
-You can earn an additional 5/10 points extra credit per paper for utilizing the Writing
Center. Papers must have any suggested corrections completed.
-Please make sure that you ITALICIZE or UNDERLINE the play or film titles.
The general outline can be the following, based on the 6 Aristotelian points of dramatic
criticism (theme, plot, characters, language, music, spectacle), and Critical Perspectives
(social, human, aesthetic/artistic, and entertainment values):
1. Give a short introduction of the film/play you are critiquing.
A. WHAT IS BEING DONE?
What is the production attempting to do? Is the production meant to criticize
society or an individual? Is it meant to provide commentary or call to action?
Educate or entertain? What are the characters attempting to do?
(Use Theme and some Plot, Social and Human significances here.)
B. HOW WELL HAS IT BEEN DONE?
Has the creator of the work reached their goals? Have the performers and
director brought the work to life? Have the characters done what they set out
to do?
(Use Character, Language, Music, Spectacle here with Aesthetic/Artistic
points here.)
C. IS IT WORTH DOING?
Is this kind of production valid? Is it meaningful or significant to you…to
others?
(Use Entertainment value here.)
FILMS FOR THE MOTION PICTURE CRITICAL .
A. Performance setting Give the date, place, and name(s) of groups
A. Performance setting: Give the date, place, and name(s) of groups performing. Briefly describe the performance setting-for example, you might include your observations on the ambiance of the performance space, performers’ attire dress, audience’s attire, etc.and how it affected your concert-going experience.
B. Type(s) of music: Which types/genres of music were performed (Just DO the Orchestra Concert). Which historical eras were represented on the program? What were the performing forces needed to perform the works? Were concert programs with notes provided? Did you read or research about the works before or after the performance? If so, in which source(s)?
C. Choose two movements or short pieces from the program and contrast/comparethese works with references to specific musical elements. You must choose two separate movements or pieces. Your essay may include, but is not limited to, a discussion of the melody, key and scale mode, rhythm, form, harmony, texture, text, etc. I want you to use your ears and listen for the basic elements discussed in class and apply them to the pieces of your concert.

Main problem definition An instrumentation radar collects com.docx
Main problem definition: An instrumentation radar collects complex frequency domain
data from 12 to 18 GHz every 10 MHz. There are two signals of equal amplitude sampled
by the radar. One signal is located at +25 ns and the other signal is located at zero ns.
Each signal can be expressed as 𝑠
=
𝑘𝑒−𝑗2𝜋𝑓𝑡.
Problem 1: [10 points] Create a total signal vector in the frequency domain and plot the
signal as 20*log10(abs(…and on a separate plot show the unwrapped phase. Make sure
that ALL axes have proper values, limits and labels.
Problem 2: [10 points] Compute the time domain of the signal and plot your result as
20*log10(abs(…
Make sure that ALL axes have proper values, limits and labels.
Problem 3: [10 points] Create an FIR filter which can keep only the zero-ns signal. Make
sure that the first filter sidelobe is at least 40 dB down. Plot the filter magnitude and
phase. Plot your result as 20*log10(abs(…
and on a separate plot show the unwrapped
phase. Make sure that ALL axes have proper values, limits and labels.
Problem 4: [20 points] Apply your FIR filter and plot the results in the time domain as
20*log10(abs(…
and on a separate plot show the phase. Make sure that ALL axes have
proper values, limits and labels.
Problem 5: [10 points] Create an IIR filter which can keep only the zero-ns signal. Make
sure that the first filter sidelobe is at least 40 dB down. Plot the filter magnitude and
phase. Plot your result as 20*log10(abs(…
and on a separate plot show the unwrapped
phase. Make sure that ALL axes have proper values, limits and labels.
Problem 6: [20 points] Apply your IIR filter and plot the results in the time domain as
20*log10(abs(…
and on a separate plot show the phase. Make sure that ALL axes have
proper values, limits and labels.
Problem 7: [10 points] On a separate figure plot the results of applying your FIR and IIR
filters on the same axes in the time domain. Use black for the FIR and red for the IIR.
Plot the magnitude as 20*log10(abs(…
and on a separate figure show the phase. Make
sure that ALL axes have proper values, limits and labels.
Problem 8: [10 points] Based on the original statement of the problem, determine the
resolution of the radar system. Then create a new signal with two signals separated by the
resolution and plot the signal in the time domain. Show the magnitude as 20*log10(abs(…
and on a separate figure show the phase. Make sure that ALL axes have proper values,

Homework 1Reference 1 In your this reflection assignment, Id.docx
Homework 1
Reference 1:
In your this reflection assignment, I'd like you to select any work of art/art object or performer/group that has a meaningful connection to you and do a detailed reflective examination. It can be a theatre production, a song, a film, an artist (and their work in general) anything that you feel passionate and connected to. Your essay should do three things:
1) it should analyze the art/artist using terminology from the semester. How are they (the work of art or the artist) examples of stuff we talked about this semester? Be specific.
2) it should consider the relationship of the art/artist to society, determine if the art/artist shapes, reflects, and/or critiques society. If they do, how do they do that? What are they critiquing, reflecting on?
3) it should analyze the impact of individual perspectives and positionality (the social and political context that creates your identity in terms of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability status) of the art/artist, both in the way the art was created or how the artist creates it, and how audiences respond to the art.
Requirements:
In other words, your essay should demonstrate your ability to do the things the course objectives say you will be able to do at the end of the class.
Essays must be at least 3 paragraphs long, for a total of about 750 words:
paragraph 1 is the description or terms and specifics related to terms and the art/artists
paragraph 2 contains the relationship of the art/artist to society
paragraph 3 demonstrates an understanding of how individual perspectives might respond to the art object/artist (including how it might impact the creators)

Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use.docx
Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use of computers and information technology to cause severe disruption or widespread fear in society. The Center for Strategic and International Studies reported in March 2019 that Chinese Hackers targeted at least 27 Universities to steal Naval Technologies research, being one of many cyber-terrorist attacks. Besides these attacks, Hacktivism is a cyber-attack either by legal or illegal digital means in the pursuit of political ends, free speech, and the right of free speech. A most notable example would be the group Anonymous conducting numerous hacks from 2008 to 2012 against companies, organizations, and even governments that go against their moral codes. Behind the Tunisia Operation in 2010, Anonymous took down eight government websites with DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks in support of Arab Spring movements. Between the two Cyberterrorism is meant to instill fear and panic in society. At the same time, Hacktivism brings about a voice or an opposition to the government and other organizations to support a cause against them. Hacktivism is more politically based, pointing out flaws in the system raising awareness on our rights as human beings. Advances in technology lead to newer and different types of attacks either group can conduct. From viruses waiting for you to log into your bank account to massive-scale attacks against the banks' systems themselves, terrorists, or hacktivists, have infinite ways to infiltrate and attack for their cause. Many laws have been put in place to combat these groups, acts put in place such as Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) or Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 helping share information and build research and development to fight against cyber-attacks. Given the push against both groups by our government, I can't help but feel concern for our rights and freedoms that may be infringed upon that our government or some corporation is doing while combating the whistleblower with Hacktivist tactics. It only keeps me and others mindful while fighting against cyberattacks that may be classified as cyberterrorism. There is a fine line on what would be a genuine noble act of hacking or something labeled as cyberterrorism placing information and lives at risk, its not so black and white as some areas can be considered grey. Thankfully some events in history, thanks to Hacktivism has brought good results that benefit society, such as Operation "Nice" which organized to hunt down the terrorist responsible for attacks in the French city, killing nearly a hundred people. Also, Operation Darknet which infiltrated 40 child pornography websites publishing 1500 plus names of frequent visitors to the sites stopping such activity. In these instances, I am for hacktivism and specific groups that act for the benefit of society and our rights as humans.

A denial-of-service (DoS) is any kind of assault where the assailants (programmers) endeavor to keep real clients from getting to the service.
Programmer sends undesirable high volumes of traffic through the system until it ends up stacked and can never again work.

Solution
s
These threats could been avoided by:
Reinforcing the security frameworks and servers
WAFs (Web Application Firewalls) are an incredible instrument to use against these assaults as they give you more command over your web traffic while perceiving malicious web misuses.
2. Malware
A malware assault is a sort of cyber-attack in which malware or malicious programming performs exercises on the unfortunate casualty's PC system, more often than not without his/her insight.
In straightforward words, it is a code with the expectation to takes information or obliterates something on the PC.

Cyber Security in Industry 4.0
Cyber Security in Industry 4.0 (IEEE) Using Emerging Technology to Improve Compliance As cyber threats, malicious software, and cyber-attacks continue to escalate in sophistication, and no industry can remain immune to these threats. The IEEE has used industry-inspired advances in innovation and implementation to promote the highest level of cybersecurity standards for the most robustly protected information and communication technology infrastructure, from networks and telecommunication systems through websites, digital certificates, and passwords, and other software-based systems (Ardito et al., 2019). This Enhanced Canada Cybersecurity Standards and Certificates (ECCS&C) project strives to provide a common framework for enhanced cybersecurity across all sectors. The fourth industrial revolution is referred to as cybersecurity in Industry 4.0 and is encompassing three discrete components: machine learning, artificial intelligence, and automation.The effects of these four technologies will most certainly impact the processes and processes aspects of technology adoption. Over the next decade, we will most certainly see further and the further rise of robotics (Ardito et al., 2019).
The industrial revolution will begin with smart factory security systems. For now, those systems are secure, but many manufacturers will soon provide safeguards against attack and malware threats to help prevent malware attacks and lawsuits. The processes can look simple like a boiler next to a giant hexagon. For example, all these processes would trigger heating or cooling at some point, and the heating or cooling can be controlled by digital control boxes connected to a smart grid (Shi et al., 2019).
The industrial network will soon have more people connected in more complex networks, such as industrial warehouses. All of these buildings can communicate with each other and can remotely activate or deactivate automation systems to reduce manufacturing costs. The need for the defense, control, and monitoring of systems and networks. The blockchain is the most viable platform for these purposes (Shi et al., 2019). Decentralization is gaining respect and confidence on a global scale, and so there is a renewed emphasis on the blockchain in the industry. There is an abundance of articles on the blockchain's potential and benefits for companies. For example, more than fifty articles are covering the blockchain's potential for authentication, threat modeling, and development of social payment interfaces. Companies are beginning to explore smart contracts and smart systems for security, reputation, and data. All in all, it seems that all the evidence points to blockchain technology as the future of the financial industry (Shi et al., 2019).

Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are rapidly becoming ubiquitous while IoT
services are becoming pervasive. Their success has not gone unnoticed and
the number of threats and attacks against IoT devices and services are on the
increase as well. Cyber-attacks are not new to IoT, but as IoT will be deeply
interwoven in our lives and societies, it is becoming necessary to step up
and take cyber defense seriously. Hence, there is a real need to secure IoT,
which has consequently resulted in a need to comprehensively understand the
threats and attacks on IoT infrastructure. This paper is an attempt to classify
threat types, besides analyze and characterize intruders and attacks facing IoT
devices and services.
Keywords: Internet of Things, Cyber-attack, Security threats.
1 Introduction
The recent rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) [1, 2] and its
ability to offer different types of services have made it the fastest growing
technology, with huge impact on social life and business environments. IoT has

gradually permeated all aspects of modern human life, such as education,
healthcare, and business, involving the storage of sensitive information about
individuals and companies, financial data transactions, product development
and marketing.
The vast diffusion of connected devices in the IoT has created enormous
demand for robust security in response to the growing demand of millions or
perhaps billions of connected devices and services worldwide [3–5].
The number of threats is rising daily, and attacks have been on the increase
in both number and complexity. Not only is the number of potential attackers
along with the size of networks growing, but the tools available to potential
attackers are also becoming more sophisticated, efficient and effective [6, 7].
Therefore, for IoT to achieve fullest potential, it needs protection against
threats and vulnerabilities [8].
Security has been defined as a process to protect an object against physical
damage, unauthorized access, theft, or loss, by maintaining high confidential-
ity and integrity of information about the object and making information about
that object available whenever needed [7, 9]. According to Kizza [7] there is no
thing as the secure state of any object, tangible or not, because no such object
can ever be in a perfectly secure state and still be useful. An object is secure if
the process can maintain its maximum intrinsic value under different condi-
tions. S.

BNS301 National Security Ethics and Diversity
How far is it too far when protecting the peoples' rights in cyberspace and its national security? In an ever-evolving cyber world, many states tend to infringe on citizens' cyber information privacy for their own accord. Sometimes governments overstep boundaries and bend the rules to protect the land and overstep the peoples' privacy to enforce rules and regulations. My final paper will analyze rules and regulations within the Cybersecurity realm within the United States. The National Security Strategy is a good guideline on the laws and what the U.S is looking to implement soon. This paper intends not to make conspiracy theories to show facts and existing laws and regulations on how the citizens' privacy has no longer been protected and some examples of historical events. (Snowden) had an ethical dilemma when he made his decisions. My paper will include my opinions and the bullet points below to construct a good argument on how the U.S can protect its citizens' privacy.
· National Security Strategy
· Cyber laws within the United States
· Privacy Laws
· Phone settings
· Phone Companies and laws sharing information to the government
· Internal agencies search and espionage laws

BERNICE BOBS HER HAIR
by
F. Scott Fitzgerald
After dark on Saturday night one could stand on the first tee
of the golf-course and see the country-club windows as a
yellow expanse over a very black and wavy ocean. The
waves of this ocean, so to speak, were the heads of many
curious caddies, a few of the more ingenious chauffeurs, the
golf professional's deaf sister--and there were usually several
stray, diffident waves who might have rolled inside had they
so desired. This was the gallery.
The balcony was inside. It consisted of the circle of wicker
chairs that lined the wall of the combination clubroom and
ballroom. At these Saturday-night dances it was largely
feminine; a great babel of middle-aged ladies with sharp eyes
and icy hearts behind lorgnettes and large bosoms. The main
function of the balcony was critical. It occasionally showed
grudging admira.

Social Networking Channels
Thomas Lamonte Esters
Independence University
29 September 2018
SOCIAL NETWORKING CHANNELS 1
I dislike social networking sites because of the dangerous hazards connected to it.
The ProCon article vividly describes the numerous benefits that are attached to the social networking sites such as connecting people, enhancing advertising and marketing, promoting research and education, assisting to spread information faster as compared to other media, connecting employers and employees and assisting the government to identify and prosecute criminals. These are just a few examples that the article illustrates to support the necessity of the social networking sites in the society today. According to the article, the social networking channels have significantly transformed different sectors such as businesses for the better since they can sell their products and services globally (Procon.org, 2018).
However, the detrimental effects connected with the social networking channels are also numerous and most of them may lead to permanent damage to our lives. It is very clear that the education is the backbone of our lives and also the key to success. Currently, about 69% of the American population use social media channels which is a drastic increase in the usage from 2008 where about 26% of the Americans were connected to the social media (Procon.org, 2018). Most of the social networking sites users are the youths who are in their lower grade level, colleges or even universities. The research shows that using social media when handling assignments decreases the quality of work and makes the students drop in their performance. Education is a core value to a successful life and allowing social media to intrude in the academics will be detrimental since it will lead to the production of incompetent individuals who may end up causing problems in the society (Rowell, 2015).
Moreover, the social media channels expose individuals’ to privacy problems and intrusion by any interested parties. In fact, nothing which is shared in the social media channels is private. According to the survey conducted, 81% of the people surveyed believed that social media is insecure. The government through the NSA (National Security Agencies) intrudes to people’s data and communication in social media meaning that their private information ends up in the hands of the government. Many people do not know about social media privacy settings and this means that they leave their social media accounts prone to invasion (Procon.org, 2018). Viruses such as Steck. Evl can also be propagated via the social media to cause harm to the users. Most of these viruses are spies and send users priv.

corporate philanthropy and employment opportunity, the company is falling behind in terms of customer
service satisfaction. Despite to the effort of Walmart’s executives throughout these years, in building a better
relationship with their customers, it seems they remain still unsuccessful. This can be measured as their
satisfaction rating levels are still extremely low when compared to other businesses in the same industry. Per
the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) annual ranking for 2016, Walmart, “still between one of
the 10 companies with the worst customer satisfaction”. (Tim Denman-March 01, 2016)
Since we all recognize the crucial importance that represents to any business keeping their customers happy,
not only with the price of the product but most important with the service provided. I will create a training
plan mainly focused in the delivery of effective customer service practices for all Walmart customer services
associates. This training program will provide to all Walmart’s new hires and current associates the
opportunity of not only learning, but also expanding, reinforcing and creating consistency of their knowledge
on how to deal with customers in different situations. How to improve happiness for the customers while
shopping and how to improve the associate’s customer service attitude and efficiency with the goal of
offering an outstanding service. Ultimately, to achieve delivering an enjoyable shopping experience to all
Walmart’s clients. This training will be presented in five different modules; each module will represent a
fundamental aspect inside of customer service job in order to make the associates.

the template for the final
report is on the last pages
Below are the instructions
Since you have become familiar with the foundations of cloud computing technologies, along with their risks and the legal and compliance issues, you will now explore cloud offerings of popular cloud providers and evaluate them to recommend one that would be the best fit for BallotOnline.
In this project, you will first learn about networking in the cloud and auxiliary cloud services provided by cloud vendors. Next, you will explore cloud computing trends, best practices, and issues involved in migrating IT deployments to the cloud, as well as typical architectures of cloud deployments. Then, you will apply your findings to propose a general architecture for BallotOnline’s cloud deployment to best address the company’s business requirements.
Once you have selected a deployment architecture, you will research two leading cloud vendors: Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Exploring and comparing the tools available for application migration will enable you to recommend a vendor to the executives in your final report. The final deliverable is a written report to BallotOnline management, describing the results of your research and recommending the cloud deployment architecture and the vendor for its deployment, with justification.
Your final report should demonstrate that you understand the IT needs of the organization as you evaluate and select cloud providers. The report should include your insights on the appropriate direction to take to handle the company’s IT business needs. You will also be assessed on the ability to integrate relevant risk, policy, and compliance consideration into the recommendations, as well as the clarity of your writing and a demonstration of logical, step-by-step decision making to formulate and justify your ideas.

Introduction to CRM
Customer relationship management (CRM) is an approach to manage a company's interaction with current and potential customers
It’s seen as both an organizational strategy & information technology
Takes form in various systems and applications
Builds sustainable long-term customer relationships that create value for both the company and it’s customers
Contributes to customer retention & expansion of their relationships with advantageous existing customers
Obtains new customers
3
It uses data analysis about customers' history with a company to improve business relationships with customers, specifically focusing on customer retention and ultimately driving sales growth.
CRM helps companies acquire new customers and retain and expand their relationships with profitable existing customers. Retaining customers is particularly important because repeat customers are the largest generator of revenue for an enterprise. Also, organizations have long understood that winning back a customer who has switched to a competitor is vastly more expensive than keeping that customer satisfied in the first place.
The goal is simple: Improve business relationships. A CRM system helps companies stay connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve profitability.
Objectives
Who is CRM for?
Large businesses
Small businesses
Customers of both types of businesses listed above
4
Key Features:
stay connected to customers
streamline processes
provide visibility & easy access to data
improve efficiency & profitability
How does CRM benefit businesses?
Provides a clear overview of your customers
Can be used as both a sales and marketing tool
Contributes information from HR → Customer service → Supply-chain management
A CRM system gives eve#ryone — from sales, customer service, business development, recruiting, marketing, or any other line of business — a better way to manage the external interactions and relationships that drive success. A CRM tool lets you store customer and prospect contact information, identify sales opportunities, record service issues, and manage marketing campaigns, all in one central location — and make information about every customer interaction available to anyone at your company who might need it.
Some of the biggest gains in productivity can come from moving beyond CRM as a sales and marketing tool, and embedding it in your business – from HR to customer services and supply-chain management.

Custom Vans Inc. Custom Vans Inc. specializes in converting st.docx
Custom Vans Inc. Custom Vans Inc
. specializes in converting standard vans into campers. Depending on the amount of work and customizing to be done, the customizing could cost less than $1,000 to more than $5,000. In less than four years, Tony Rizzo was able to expand his small operation in Gary, Indiana, to other major outlets in Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and Detroit.
Innovation was the major factor in Tony’ s success in converting a small van shop into one of the largest and most profitable custom van operations in the Midwest. Tony seemed to have a special ability to design and develop unique features and devices that were always in high demand by van owners. An example was Shower-Rific, which Tony developed only six months after he started Custom Vans Inc. These small showers were completely self-contained, and they could be placed in almost any type of van and in a number of different locations within a van. Shower-Rific was made of fiberglass and contained towel racks, built-in soap and shampoo holders, and a unique plastic door. Each Shower-Rific took 2 gallons of fiberglass and 3 hours of labor to manufacture.
Most of the Shower-Rifics were manufactured in Gary, in the same warehouse where Custom Vans Inc. was founded. The manufacturing plant in Gary could produce 300 Shower-Rifics in a month, but that capacity never seemed to be enough. Custom Vans shops in all locations were complaining about not getting enough Shower-Rifics, and because Minneapolis was farther away from Gary than the other locations, Tony was always inclined to ship Shower-Rifics to the other locations before Minneapolis. This infuriated the manager of Custom Vans at Minneapolis, and after many heated discussions, Tony decided to start another manufacturing plant for Shower-Rifics at Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The manufacturing plant at Fort Wayne could produce 150 Shower-Rifics per month. The manufacturing plant at Fort Wayne was still not able to meet current demand for Shower-Rifics, and Tony knew that the demand for his unique camper shower would grow rapidly in the next year. After consulting with his lawyer and banker, Tony concluded that he should open two new manufacturing plants as soon as possible. Each plant would have the same capacity as the Fort Wayne manufacturing plant. An initial investigation into possible manufacturing locations was made, and Tony decided that the two new plants should be located in Detroit, Michigan; Rockford, Illinois; or Madison, Wisconsin. Tony knew that selecting the best location for the two new manufacturing plants would be difficult. Transportation costs and demands for the various locations were important considerations.
The Chicago shop was managed by Bill Burch. This Custom Vans shop was one of the first established by Tony, and it continued to outperform the other locations. The manufacturing plant at Gary was supplying the Chicago shop with 200 Shower-Rifics each month, although Bill knew that the demand for the.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Chapter 3 - Islamic Banking Products and Services.pptxMohd Adib Abd Muin, Senior Lecturer at Universiti Utara Malaysia
This slide is prepared for master's students (MIFB & MIBS) UUM. May it be useful to all.A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

For a work of architecture, a building created as a work of art, you need to consider three things and how they go together: - its aesthetic functions (the looks and style of a building), - its practical functions and - its symbolism. For example, for a public building, a museum, place of worship, a school, or residence the aesthetic function must serve its practical structural design, symbolic, and aesthetic functions. Here are some more important questions to answer for a building (some of this may involve background research). 2. Structure and materials. How is it put together? What kind of
- 9. materials? How are they assembled? How is the building supported? Is the building or set of buildings laid out in a pattern? Is it symmetrical or asymmetrical? Pre- planned or add-on? Explain. 3. Scale and proportion. How does the size relate to the human form? What emotional sensations result from scale? 4. Formal Context (inside). What do you think of the layout? How do the shapes and spaces serve the purposes of the building? (consider the rituals and other activities that are done there). Do the spaces assist or slow down smooth traffic of people? Where is the flow? Where are the stopping points? 5. Formal Context (outside). How does the building relate to its environment? Does it reflect or compete with its surroundings? Does it blend in? Does it dominate? Where is it located in relation to the town? Was climate a factor in the design? 6. Symbolism. Does the shape of the building have a symbolic meaning? Do the decorative elements contribute to the function and symbolism of the building (painting, sculpture, etc.) 7. Looks and Style. Describe its overall aesthetic appeal and stylistic appearance and details that support it. Is there a name for the style of this building? Is this building unique, or is it a type? Where did the style come from? 8. Historical context and extension: What is the history the building—the who,
- 10. what, when, where, why of it? Who commissioned it? Who designed it? Where is it located? What is its purpose? From your observations, to who does it seem to appeal to? What messages does it seem to send about itself? 8. Important—Your Informed Reaction. How do the previous elements combine to create a reaction in you? In other words, what draws your attention? What is your emotional and intellectual response to the architecture, and what causes that response? In other words, what kind of mood or thoughts does it convey to you? What in the building suggests this? What kind of impact do you think the building itself has on its function? Things that might contribute include visual elements and composition (structure, color, textures, focus point, patterns, strong contrasts, diagonal lines, suggested movement), materials, historical or psychological, or symbolic context, your own preferences and associations.

(Musical Theater - theatrical narrative with song and other musical numbers – has a separate Companion. A. Basic Information: 1. Record the date you attended, where the production took place; describe the environment, audience, atmosphere. 2. Record the name of the company performing, title of the production, length of performance, intermissions. 3. Summarize your impressions of the order of the program (Is it laid out in historical, narrative, thematic manner?). 4. Take notes on the program pamphlet. Mention important elements of the performance and how they worked. Think of Aristotle’s components of a play to help you consider various elements (plot, character, theme, dialogue, spectacle, sound). B. Respond to the performance and answer pertinent Theatrical Specifics:
- 15. 1. Context Background: When was the play written? If dates are not given in the playbill, make an educated guess and explain your reasoning. For what kind of space and audience was this piece originally intended? What leads you to this conclusion? 2. Content of the play: List main characters. BRIEFLY, summarize the story (plot) - one short paragraph, about 1/2 page at the most. Focus on organization, pivotal scenes. 3. What exactly do you see on that stage (spectacle)? Can you detect Designer Choices; Are they true to type? a. The set. Is it realistic? Surrealistic? Abstract? How does this contribute to (or detract from) the overall impact? b. The lighting. How is lighting used to increase the impact? Colors? To what effect? Sounds: How are they used? Effects? c. Costumes. Do they suit the time and locale of the play? Do colors or shapes suggest anything about the characters? d. The plot. How the plot is staged? What visual and other devices -- e.g. dialogue, actions) enabled you to follow the story? What ones did not work for you? Why? e. The actors/characters. How did the actors move + speak? Do they seem like “real” people? What character was most developed? How was this accomplished? Did you prefer this character over the others? f. Visually, describe the overall style and impact of the
- 16. production. 4. Your thoughts on this Interpretation, by the director: Why do you suppose the playwright wrote this play? Why did the director and producer choose to produce the play now? 5. Your expectations. Why did you select this production? What did you expect? 6. Your assessment. How was this event different from other theater productions you have seen in the past? When did the playwright’s choice of character, environment, story, or language create a mood and have meaning for you? Why? Did the visual impact reinforce or weaken the theme of the production? How? What did you take away from the theater? Pleasantly entertained, with or without having to think? A sobering comment on life that did not entertain? A plea for or call to action that overstated its case? Insight into one’s own, or others’ problems? A determination to do something about the problems? 7. Expansion. - Reflecting back, make connections or comparisons to examples and ideas in our studies. - Implications: What cultural values does this performance suggest? How might this production apply to social or life situations today?
