Final PaperOne reason that California have been known as the Gol.docx
Final Paper
One reason that California have been known as the Golden State is because of the influence of Hollywood. The well-known reputation of the entertainment of Hollywood has been showed the natural advantages of California, such as the weather, coast, and the natural resources. Also, the Hollywood shows another side of California, which is the world-leading level of technology companies. However, it is controversial to state that California is shown to the world by Hollywood. In fact, I prefer the saying that the history and the multicultural environment breed the great potential of the newborn Hollywood at the first place. While Hollywood shows the diverse cultures in California, it expresses in the influence of the California history by showing the images of different racial people in the films.
California have been a state of immigration, attracting people from the world to migrate the family and invite them to contribute for the development of California. It is fair to say that California was built by the people with different ethnical backgrounds. However, Hollywood has not been treated equally to the contributors with different races. White can be always be the lead of the movie. For example, a white actor can play the role with quality of richness, smartness and toughness. A non-white Hispanic actor can play the role of a billionaire, a drug dealer, a villain, a genius, and a special agent. However, Chinese Americans have the least if the scenes in the Hollywood films. Chinese Americans express a very stereotypical image of neediness, Kungfu, or weakness. In historical speaking, the Chinese were first shown in California in the event of Gosh Rush in the 1800s. The image of Chinese miners in Gold Rush is influent to the image of the Chinese Americans from Hollywood firms. It is hard to truly know the Chinese culture through the media. I doubt that Chinese culture does not assimilate to the society of California. In the Chronicling California, it pointed out that the Chinese culture was not quite “fit” into the California society: “the expulsion of the Chinese is not demanded on the ground that they represent cheap labor... they are regarded by the thoughtful as objectionable because they represent a substitution of unchangeable foreign and hopelessly unassimilative material for that which is malleable and assimilative” (100, Hoikkala and Wallis). Most of the Chinese miners had the strong responsibilities to support their families by sending the money to oversea. The loss of currency conflicts with the California society also indirectly caused the Chinese Exclusion Act later in 1882. Comparing to other immigrants, Chinese suffered the unequal treatments, which is why it is hard to see the Chinese cultures in the early Hollywood films.
While Hollywood has published some great firms about the World War II, it emphasized the victory of the United States, avoiding the fact that how the California government treated unfairly to the.

Final Paper
Final Paper Synopsis:
The purpose of this paper will be to simulate a professional analysis of a segment of technology that will contribute to the success of your fictional company. Each student will use the same company. You will choose one of five technologies on which to focus. The complete guidelines are below beginning with the scenario.
Scenario
Overview
JK Incorporated is a 50-year-old retail and distribution grocery company that owns and operates 3,000 stores under different banners across the United States. The mix of products includes products purchased from other manufacturers as well as product that JK manufactures itself. This results in national brands and private labels sold side by side. JK has stores, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and its own distribution fleet of trucks.
JK has enjoyed many years of success using methods that are now considered out of date and is now no longer leading in the industry. Technically progressive companies have entered the grocery industry and are threatening to disrupt JK and put it out of business entirely. JK has many areas that are in need of analysis to identify the positive impact that newer technology may have on its business.
You have been assigned to choose one of the 4 “current state” issues below and articulate the benefits of using the new technology.
Current State Issues
1. JK is using multiple regional data centers with older and less reliable hardware to deliver technical capabilities like point of sale, distribution logistics, loyalty programs, etc. Each of these data centers has high overhead with regard to management (labor), administration (skills), facilities (buildings, environmentals, security, network, and energy). This issue may be a candidate for the analysis of cloud computing.
2. JK has many distribution centers and trucks. These distribution centers do not integrate with the store systems for the timely tracking of deliveries. The current systems do not allow the store managers to answer simple questions like “where’s my truck” or “where’s my order”. JK also has a limited home delivery or “buy online and pick up in store capability. In essence, the distribution channel stops at the store rather than at the customers home as opposed to up and coming rivals. This issue may be a candidate for an overhaul of the enterprise Warehouse Management System and supply chain optimization.
3. JK has limited knowledge of it’s customers. The company relies primarily on random coupons based on products that need to be moved quickly. The marketing and promotion campaigns rely heavily on newspaper advertisements that promote based on time of year, holidays, or weekly bargains that represent overstock or third party promotions that they pass on to customers. There is a limited mobile and web experience with regard to meal planning, shopping list, personal preferences, allergies, or other localization items. This issue may be a candidate.

Final Paper, Essay Proposal, & Outline
·
The final essay should be about
6-7 pages
in length
·
The focus of this essay will be to state, explain, develop, and defend a particular thesis based upon some theme in philosophy of religion related to the texts we’ve been reading.
·
The thesis needs to make some specific
claim
(or closely interrelated set of claims) about some topic or theme that we’ve touched on this term, (see list of possible topics below).
·
This claim needs to be stated clearly, explained carefully, fully developed in relation to the kinds of arguments and objections we’ve encountered in texts, by at least two different authors, and defended with philosophical arguments and reasons drawing upon texts we’ve read, ideas of your own, and your own experiences and beliefs.
·
Be sure to relate the theme of your essay to our lives. Why does this claim matter? What difference does it make if you’re right about the thesis?
Topics:
Possible theses can respond to the following topics…
·
Is it appropriate to claim that there is only one true religion?
(Please don’t pick this one, if your answer is “no…”).
·
Do all religions share some common core, so that differences don’t really matter?
·
Does the existence of evil and suffering logically disprove a good all-powerful God?
(Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”)
·
Does the amount and kind of evil and suffering count against the existence of God? Is any evil truly pointless?
(Again, please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”)
·
Does claiming we cannot know whether any evil is pointless also entail that we cannot know (apart from divine revelation) that God really intends our good?
·
Is it possible for God to make genuinely free creatures who are guaranteed never to do wrong (Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…” either).
·
Is evil and suffering in the world justified by bringing a greater good?
(Please don’t choose this one, if your answer is “no…”).
·
Does Christian belief in the incarnation, suffering, , death, and resurrection of Jesus make a difference for the problem of evil and suffering?
·
What is the nature of evil? Is it a “thing” in this world or is it merely the privation of good?
·
Do even secular values (moral, political, social, etc.) function ultimately in a kind of religious way? What are the limits of tolerance?
·
How can a loving God judge evil and how can God allow some people to choose an ultimate destiny that ends in their own destruction (i.e. Hell)?
·
If Darwinian explanations of the natural order of the world are true, does that exclude the existence of God or make God’s existence superfluous
(Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”).
·
If Darwinian explanations of the natural order of the world are true, what does that suggest about the nature of divine providence and God’s relation to the creation?
(Please try not to pick this one; thank you)

Outline & Annotated Bibliography
The option I chose for the final project was option (b), to select and write about a feature length film made between 1970-2000. The film I chose is a story by Stephen King, ‘The Green Mile’, directed by Frank Darabont. Below I will outline my final paper for the course, as well as list and discuss a few sources that I will be citing.
· Introduction
· Discuss the making of the film
· The film’s success (box office/awards and nominations)
· Critical reaction to the film
· Personal reaction to the film (what I liked/did not like, critique of main character roles and actors/actresses who played them)
· Discuss direction of film (montage/sound and music)
· Discuss direction of film cont. (cinematography/ special effects)
· Conclusion
· Bibliography
Cinematography of The Green Mile. (2014). Cinematography of The Green Mile. Retrieved 27 June 2017, from https://bnyce82.wordpress.com/
This reference is specific to the cinematography techniques used in the film, ‘The Green Mile’. It provides insight into the various aspects of cinematography, such as the tone of the film, the camera angles and lighting, as well as the dialogue between the characters. This reference will help backup the information I will provide in my final paper.
Darabont, F. (1999). The Green Mile. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VslrToVsu80
This reference is the actual film, ‘The Green Mile’, found on YouTube. I will be watching the entire film to gather information for my final paper. The information I will be looking for while watching this film are the editing techniques used by the director, as well as my personal reaction to draw a general conclusion from.
Ebert, R. (1999). The Green Mile Movie Review & Film Summary (1999) | Roger Ebert. Rogerebert.com. Retrieved 27 June 2017, from http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-green-mile-1999
The movie review of, ‘The Green Mile’, by the late Roger Ebert is a perfect reference to gain insight to the critical review of the film upon its release.

This general reference on cinematography is from the Oxford Dictionary of Film Studies. I found this entry very useful during week 4 of the course when it was presented and will use it as a reference for my final paper, as well as future discussions. The entry defines cinematography in film making as capturing movement on film, as well as explains the role of a cinematographer on a movie set.

Final Digital Marketing Plan
Final Digital Marketing Plan PowerPoint Presentation,
Introduction
In this PowerPoint presentation, we will present our Final Digital Marketing Plan for our product the Concussion Protocol Sensor (CPS). This product idea was created by Simone Harvey and voted on by the remaining team members in team D to implement as our product idea. In the first phase of the marketing plan we outlined a target market and included a segmentation criteria for the Concussion Protocol Sensor. Second, we will developed a digital advertising strategy and included two sample banner ads and a mock landing page for the website in our marketing plan. Third, the presentation will provide examples of three mock web ads and include specifics of where they will be placed. And we will create a budget for a two week advertising campaign.
The second phase of the marketing plan will summarize our plan to reach consumers. Our goal to reach our consumers is by using email marketing to directly send out email advertisements to consumers through the assistance of AWeber. In today’s day and age, social media and instant connection is the best most popular way of connecting with not only friends and family but consumers as well. There are many different forms of social media out there today such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram. We will utilize these platforms in our marketing strategy in an effort to reach as many consumers as possible.

Target MarketYouth Sports Programs focused on young athletesHigh School students interested in sportsCollege Athletic ProgramsCoaches involved in sports programs
The target market for the CPS would be youth sports programs focused on young athletes, age 6-13; high schools students interested in sports, age 14-18; University athletic programs, and coaches involved in sports.
The ages that would benefit would span from very young children all the way to adults that are active in sports or other activities that could be extreme enough to lead to potential head injuries.

Demographic Market Segmentation
As it relates to the segmentation criteria we used to determine the target market for the CPS, we chose the Demographic Market Segmentation’s, as it works best with our marketing strategy since the data is easily available and drastically affects buying patterns. Age, income, gender, ethnic background and family life cycle are all important factors of demographic segmentation.
The CPS is going to use an age range of 5-34 years of.

Well, my plan is more comprehensive. And frankly, it’s tougher because of course we have to deal with the
problem that the banks are still too big to fail…But we also have to worry about some of the other players—
AIG, a big insurance company; Lehman Brothers, an investment bank. There’s this whole area called “shadow

we’re going to cover everybody, not what caused the problem last ti.

Film Analysis AssignmentPurpose To encourage you to becom.docx
Film Analysis Assignment
Purpose:
To encourage you to become critical observers of interpersonal communication skills, choose a movie to review from the suggested film list. After watching the film write a 4-5 page (minimum of 1000 words) paper using these guidelines. All papers must follow APA or MLA guidelines, use Times New Roman font, be double spaced, 12 point font, and 1 inch margins.
Instructions
: This assignment is to be completed in three parts (see below). Choose a film from the list provided below. Watch the film and write an analysis paper based on concepts covered in this interpersonal communication class. You may need to watch the film more than once to complete this assignment.
In the
introductory paragraph
, provide the following elements:
Offer a creative opening for the paper that grabs the reader’s attention.
Briefly
summarize the film. The summary could include: the title, the plot, and the main characters.
Offer a clear
thesis
for the essay. A thesis statement explains to the reader how you plan to interpret the subject, tells the reader what to expect from the paper (road map), and answers the ‘so what’ question about how this film can be interpreted using vital interpersonal communication theories and concepts.
Provide an overview of how the paper will be organized that includes the specific concepts that will be discussed.
In the
body
of the essay, using separate paragraphs, analyze five (5)
different
interpersonal communication concepts
from at least three (3) different chapters
that are demonstrated in the movie.
For
each
interpersonal concept:
Define
the concept using the textbook and provide an example from the film that demonstrates the concept. Be specific: describe the character(s) and/or event(s) where the concept is demonstrated and use terms from the text.
Evaluate
whether the concept is applied effectively or ineffectively (good example or bad example). Take a position and explain why you believe this to be true. First-person language is acceptable.
Analyze
the consequences of the concept’s effective or ineffective application. Consider short-term and long-term consequences to the character(s) and plot. In other words, project beyond the movie. If the movie continued, or had a sequel, how do you think the consequences would impact the character(s).
What does it mean to analyze?
When your instructor asks you to write an
analysis
, don’t panic. All they want is for you to take something apart to see how it works. To write an analysis, think about how each part of something contributes to the success of the whole.
CAUTION: Make sure that you are not just summarizing the scene from your movie. Go beyond telling us what you are talking about. Describe
how
and
why
its elements function.
Summarizing = WHAT Analyzing = HOW & WHY
In addition to using theories from the textbook, utilize at least one credible outside source as part of your analysis of a specifi.

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.

FIN 380 Take-Home Final Examination- Fall, 2018The following pag.docx
FIN 380 Take-Home Final Examination- Fall, 2018
The following pages contain the take home midterm for Finance 380, sections A, B and C. The exam is due no later than Monday, December 17th at 9:00 AM. Late exams will lose 1 point for every minute late. By electronically submitting the final exam, you are attesting to the following. Please READ carefully.
1. I understand that this is an examination and attest that the work presented is my own; that it is done without outside assistance of any kind (except that provided by the instructor). I understand that the penalty for cheating or collusion of any kind is a grade of F for the course.
2. Spreadsheet solutions will be appropriately formatted and developed in a logical, readable, coherent fashion. Confusing or unformatted spreadsheets may result in a reduction of points.
3. I understand that the file tabs are in their original order and understand that out-of-order problems will not be graded (Note: it is YOUR responsibility to insure that what you pass in ordered correctly)
4. I understand that the due date and time for the exam is Monday, December 17th at 9:00 AM. I understand that the exam must be submitted electronically. I understand that exams passed in after that time will be considered late and will incur a minimum penalty of 1 point lost per minute late.
5. The file name should contain both your last name, first name, section and the word “Final” in that order. For example, if you’re in the 10AM section (Section A), your file name should be Ketcham.David.A.Final.xlsx
6. Make sure you pass in the FINAL exam, not a homework assignment or your midterm. I don’t have time to hunt you down.
7. If you submit your exam early, I’ll try to open the file and make sure I have the right exam and that I can view it. I’ll let you know if I have problems. It is unlikely that I will be able to do so for any exam submitted after 5:00 P.M. on the day (Sunday) before the due date.
8. The exam is being made available to you on or before December 10th and is due December 17th. That means you have ample time to ask questions in class, during office hours, via email, or through myriad other means. If you don’t understand a question, ask BEFORE the exam is due for clarification. Misunderstood questions leading to wrong answers will count against you.
9. Good luck! It’s almost over.

Project 2: Financial Crises
In this project you will analyze a financial crisis. Over the past decades, even centuries, there have been many significant financial crises. Some of these have been effective across a country and some have had an impact around the globe. On the other hand, there have also been numerous financial crises at the firm level. This project will be about the relatively recent financial catastrophes that some firms have been faced with.
write a 2-3 page report about Merrill lynch. In your report you should provide information about:
- the company/event;
- the reason(s) behind the disaster;
- the losses; the consequences and the aftermath;
- lessons learned if any, including regulatory changes.
The sources that you should use in your research are the internet and the library. If you need additional help, let me know and I will provide additional guidance specific to a particular financial crisis.

Why Financial Statement Analysis?
To facilitate comparison of:
One company over time
One company versus other companies
Uses: How can stakeholders benefit and why?
Lenders to determine creditworthiness
Stockholders to estimate future cash flows and risk
Managers to identify areas of weakness and strength
Financial statement analysis involves (1) comparing a firms; performance with that of the other firms in the same industry; and (2)Evaluating trends in the firm’s financial position over time.
Financial statement analysis is used by managers to identify situations needing attention. Potential lenders use financial statement analysis to determine whether a company is credit worthy, and stockholders use it to help them predict future earnings, dividends, and free cash flow.
5
Ratio Analysis
Used to extract information not obvious from simply examining financial statements.
Provides standardized comparison of firms
Example: Giant owes $10 million in debt while Safeway owes $20 million in debt. Which firm has a stronger financial position?
It is very difficult to answer this question without first determining each company's debt relative to its assets, earnings, and interests. Ratio analysis allows us to standardize these debts so as to easily compare the two forms.

FIN 340 Final Project Scenarios and Tables You will u.docx
FIN 340 Final Project Scenarios and Tables
You will use these scenarios and tables to complete the final project.
Client 1:
Ezra, age 26, is single. However, he is dating and preparing to get engaged. He will need roughly $5,000 for an engagement ring almost immediately, and expects
he will need $10,000–$15,000 for the wedding in the next 12–24 months. He is currently employed and earns about $70,000 a year in salary. This salary is
enough to cover all his taxes and normal living expenses of approximately $4,800. This leaves him with about $1,000 in savings each month ($350 to 401K, $650
to savings). He has been able to save roughly $15,000 to date in a 401K plan from work and about $20,000 in cash savings. His 401K plan has been invested 100%
in the stock market, including some sector-specific funds. His other savings have been in interest-bearing savings and cash substitutes such as money market
funds. He recently received a windfall of $60,000, and this prompted him to come to you for some advice. The following are few of Ezra’s comments to help
guide your thoughts:
1. “I understand I am young, so I need to take on as much risk as I can.”
2. “I am willing to lose 30–40% on my invested capital if the return is commensurate.”
3. “I do like to have a decent sized cushion in the bank in case something happens at my job.”
4. “I don’t foresee my risk tolerance changing after I get married.”
5. “Do you have any good stock tips?”
Client 2:
Jacob and Rachel, 53 and 52 respectively, are married with four children. Two of the children are currently in college, and two are in high school. They expect the
other two children to attend college. The couple has done relatively well for themselves and earn roughly $275,000 before tax between the two of them, which
equates to $190,000 after taxes. They live well below their means, and this should allow them to cover all of their children’s college expenses out of pocket, but
it will not leave much for them to save over the next six to eight years. Through savings and portfolio growth, they have managed to accumulate $900,000. To
this point, they have been moderately aggressive (70–75% equities) with their portfolio, but they feel that they need to begin preparing the portfolio for partial
retirement in eight years, and full retirement in 13 years.
1. “I know we still need to be somewhat aggressive—we could live until we’re 90—so we need to plan for some growth even in retirement.”
2. “We definitely can’t afford to take a big hit in our portfolio. We don’t have enough time to recover.”
3. “Our jobs allow us to work part-time in retirement, and we will probably do so as long as we are able.”
4. “What do bond yields look like today?”
5. “I think we’ll need to draw on 3–5% of our portfolio in retirement. We’d like to earn enough income from the portfolio to cover that.”

Outline & Annotated Bibliography
The option I chose for the final project was option (b), to select and write about a feature length film made between 1970-2000. The film I chose is a story by Stephen King, ‘The Green Mile’, directed by Frank Darabont. Below I will outline my final paper for the course, as well as list and discuss a few sources that I will be citing.
· Introduction
· Discuss the making of the film
· The film’s success (box office/awards and nominations)
· Critical reaction to the film
· Personal reaction to the film (what I liked/did not like, critique of main character roles and actors/actresses who played them)
· Discuss direction of film (montage/sound and music)
· Discuss direction of film cont. (cinematography/ special effects)
· Conclusion
· Bibliography
Cinematography of The Green Mile. (2014). Cinematography of The Green Mile. Retrieved 27 June 2017, from https://bnyce82.wordpress.com/
This reference is specific to the cinematography techniques used in the film, ‘The Green Mile’. It provides insight into the various aspects of cinematography, such as the tone of the film, the camera angles and lighting, as well as the dialogue between the characters. This reference will help backup the information I will provide in my final paper.
Darabont, F. (1999). The Green Mile. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VslrToVsu80
This reference is the actual film, ‘The Green Mile’, found on YouTube. I will be watching the entire film to gather information for my final paper. The information I will be looking for while watching this film are the editing techniques used by the director, as well as my personal reaction to draw a general conclusion from.
Ebert, R. (1999). The Green Mile Movie Review & Film Summary (1999) | Roger Ebert. Rogerebert.com. Retrieved 27 June 2017, from http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-green-mile-1999
The movie review of, ‘The Green Mile’, by the late Roger Ebert is a perfect reference to gain insight to the critical review of the film upon its release. I will be referencing opinions and points made by the infamous film critic, as he discusses the direction of the film, as well as the actors’ performance.
Kuhn, A., & Westwell, G.(2012). cinematography. In A Dictionary of Film Studies. : Oxford University Press. Retrieved 28 Jun. 2017, from http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199587261.001.0001/acref-9780199587261-e-0124.
This general reference on cinematography is from the Oxford Dictionary of Film Studies. I found this entry very useful during week 4 of the course when it was presented and will use it as a reference for my final paper, as well as future discussions. The entry defines cinematography in film making as capturing movement on film, as well as explains the role of a cinematographer on a movie set.

Final Digital Marketing Plan
Final Digital Marketing Plan PowerPoint Presentation,
Introduction
In this PowerPoint presentation, we will present our Final Digital Marketing Plan for our product the Concussion Protocol Sensor (CPS). This product idea was created by Simone Harvey and voted on by the remaining team members in team D to implement as our product idea. In the first phase of the marketing plan we outlined a target market and included a segmentation criteria for the Concussion Protocol Sensor. Second, we will developed a digital advertising strategy and included two sample banner ads and a mock landing page for the website in our marketing plan. Third, the presentation will provide examples of three mock web ads and include specifics of where they will be placed. And we will create a budget for a two week advertising campaign.
The second phase of the marketing plan will summarize our plan to reach consumers. Our goal to reach our consumers is by using email marketing to directly send out email advertisements to consumers through the assistance of AWeber. In today’s day and age, social media and instant connection is the best most popular way of connecting with not only friends and family but consumers as well. There are many different forms of social media out there today such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram. We will utilize these platforms in our marketing strategy in an effort to reach as many consumers as possible.

Target MarketYouth Sports Programs focused on young athletesHigh School students interested in sportsCollege Athletic ProgramsCoaches involved in sports programs
The target market for the CPS would be youth sports programs focused on young athletes, age 6-13; high schools students interested in sports, age 14-18; University athletic programs, and coaches involved in sports.
The ages that would benefit would span from very young children all the way to adults that are active in sports or other activities that could be extreme enough to lead to potential head injuries.

Demographic Market Segmentation
As it relates to the segmentation criteria we used to determine the target market for the CPS, we chose the Demographic Market Segmentation’s, as it works best with our marketing strategy since the data is easily available and drastically affects buying patterns. Age, income, gender, ethnic background and family life cycle are all important factors of demographic segmentation.
The CPS is going to use an age range of 5-34 years of.

GE and the Shadow Banking Landscape
Well, my plan is more comprehensive. And frankly, it’s tougher because of course we have to deal with the
problem that the banks are still too big to fail…But we also have to worry about some of the other players—
AIG, a big insurance company; Lehman Brothers, an investment bank. There’s this whole area called “shadow
banking.” That’s where the experts tell me the next potential problem could come from. I want to make sure
we’re going to cover everybody, not what caused the problem last ti.

Final Project Part I
Part I Overview
Business professionals typically need to demonstrate a core set of financial knowledge to earn the job and to succeed on a job. For this part of the assessment,
you will be given a scenario in which you are asked to illustrate your financial management knowledge.
This part of the final project addresses the following course outcomes:
Analyze the roles and responsibilities of financial managers in confirming compliance with federal and shareholder requirements
Differentiate between various financial markets and institutions by comparing and contrasting options when selecting appropriate private and corporate
investments
Part I Prompt
You have completed an internship in the finance division of a fast-growing information technology corporation. Your boss, the financial manager, is considering
hiring you for a full-time job. He first wants to evaluate your financial knowledge and has provided you with a short examination. When composing your answers
to this employment examination, ensure that they are cohesive and read like a short essay.
Your submission must address the following critical elements:
I. Analyze Roles and Responsibilities for Compliance
A. Examine the types of decisions financial managers make. How are these decisions related to the primary objective of financial managers?
B. Analyze the various ethical issues a financial manager could potentially face and how these could be handled.
C. Compare and contrast the different federal safeguards that are in place to reduce financial reporting abuse. Why are these considered
appropriate safeguards?
II. Investment Options
A. If a private company is “going public,” what does this mean, and how would the company do this? What are the advantages of doing this? Do
you see any disadvantages? If so, what are they?
B. How do the largest U.S. stock markets differ? Out of those choices, which would be the smartest private investment option, in your opinion?

Film Analysis Assignment
Purpose:
To encourage you to become critical observers of interpersonal communication skills, choose a movie to review from the suggested film list. After watching the film write a 4-5 page (minimum of 1000 words) paper using these guidelines. All papers must follow APA or MLA guidelines, use Times New Roman font, be double spaced, 12 point font, and 1 inch margins.
Instructions
: This assignment is to be completed in three parts (see below). Choose a film from the list provided below. Watch the film and write an analysis paper based on concepts covered in this interpersonal communication class. You may need to watch the film more than once to complete this assignment.
In the
introductory paragraph
, provide the following elements:
Offer a creative opening for the paper that grabs the reader’s attention.
Briefly
summarize the film. The summary could include: the title, the plot, and the main characters.
Offer a clear
thesis
for the essay. A thesis statement explains to the reader how you plan to interpret the subject, tells the reader what to expect from the paper (road map), and answers the ‘so what’ question about how this film can be interpreted using vital interpersonal communication theories and concepts.
Provide an overview of how the paper will be organized that includes the specific concepts that will be discussed.
In the
body
of the essay, using separate paragraphs, analyze five (5)
different
interpersonal communication concepts
from at least three (3) different chapters
that are demonstrated in the movie.
For
each
interpersonal concept:
Define
the concept using the textbook and provide an example from the film that demonstrates the concept. Be specific: describe the character(s) and/or event(s) where the concept is demonstrated and use terms from the text.
Evaluate
whether the concept is applied effectively or ineffectively (good example or bad example). Take a position and explain why you believe this to be true. First-person language is acceptable.
Analyze
the consequences of the concept’s effective or ineffective application. Consider short-term and long-term consequences to the character(s) and plot. In other words, project beyond the movie. If the movie continued, or had a sequel, how do you think the consequences would impact the character(s).
What does it mean to analyze?
When your instructor asks you to write an
analysis
, don’t panic. All they want is for you to take something apart to see how it works. To write an analysis, think about how each part of something contributes to the success of the whole.
CAUTION: Make sure that you are not just summarizing the scene from your movie. Go beyond telling us what you are talking about. Describe
how
and
why
its elements function.
Summarizing = WHAT Analyzing = HOW & WHY
In addition to using theories from the textbook, utilize at least one credible outside source as part of your analysis of a specifi.

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.

FIN 380 Take-Home Final Examination- Fall, 2018
The following pages contain the take home midterm for Finance 380, sections A, B and C. The exam is due no later than Monday, December 17th at 9:00 AM. Late exams will lose 1 point for every minute late. By electronically submitting the final exam, you are attesting to the following. Please READ carefully.
1. I understand that this is an examination and attest that the work presented is my own; that it is done without outside assistance of any kind (except that provided by the instructor). I understand that the penalty for cheating or collusion of any kind is a grade of F for the course.
2. Spreadsheet solutions will be appropriately formatted and developed in a logical, readable, coherent fashion. Confusing or unformatted spreadsheets may result in a reduction of points.
3. I understand that the file tabs are in their original order and understand that out-of-order problems will not be graded (Note: it is YOUR responsibility to insure that what you pass in ordered correctly)
4. I understand that the due date and time for the exam is Monday, December 17th at 9:00 AM. I understand that the exam must be submitted electronically. I understand that exams passed in after that time will be considered late and will incur a minimum penalty of 1 point lost per minute late.
5. The file name should contain both your last name, first name, section and the word “Final” in that order. For example, if you’re in the 10AM section (Section A), your file name should be Ketcham.David.A.Final.xlsx
6. Make sure you pass in the FINAL exam, not a homework assignment or your midterm. I don’t have time to hunt you down.
7. If you submit your exam early, I’ll try to open the file and make sure I have the right exam and that I can view it. I’ll let you know if I have problems. It is unlikely that I will be able to do so for any exam submitted after 5:00 P.M. on the day (Sunday) before the due date.
8. The exam is being made available to you on or before December 10th and is due December 17th. That means you have ample time to ask questions in class, during office hours, via email, or through myriad other means. If you don’t understand a question, ask BEFORE the exam is due for clarification. Misunderstood questions leading to wrong answers will count against you.
9. Good luck! It’s almost over.

Why Financial Statement Analysis?
To facilitate comparison of:
One company over time
One company versus other companies
Uses: How can stakeholders benefit and why?
Lenders to determine creditworthiness
Stockholders to estimate future cash flows and risk
Managers to identify areas of weakness and strength
Financial statement analysis involves (1) comparing a firms; performance with that of the other firms in the same industry; and (2)Evaluating trends in the firm’s financial position over time.
Financial statement analysis is used by managers to identify situations needing attention. Potential lenders use financial statement analysis to determine whether a company is credit worthy, and stockholders use it to help them predict future earnings, dividends, and free cash flow.
5
Ratio Analysis
Used to extract information not obvious from simply examining financial statements.
Provides standardized comparison of firms
Example: Giant owes $10 million in debt while Safeway owes $20 million in debt. Which firm has a stronger financial position?
It is very difficult to answer this question without first determining each company's debt relative to its assets, earnings, and interests. Ratio analysis allows us to standardize these debts so as to easily compare the two forms.

FIN 340 Final Project Scenarios and Tables
You will use these scenarios and tables to complete the final project.
Client 1:
Ezra, age 26, is single. However, he is dating and preparing to get engaged. He will need roughly $5,000 for an engagement ring almost immediately, and expects
he will need $10,000–$15,000 for the wedding in the next 12–24 months. He is currently employed and earns about $70,000 a year in salary. This salary is
enough to cover all his taxes and normal living expenses of approximately $4,800. This leaves him with about $1,000 in savings each month ($350 to 401K, $650
to savings). He has been able to save roughly $15,000 to date in a 401K plan from work and about $20,000 in cash savings. His 401K plan has been invested 100%
in the stock market, including some sector-specific funds. His other savings have been in interest-bearing savings and cash substitutes such as money market
funds. He recently received a windfall of $60,000, and this prompted him to come to you for some advice. The following are few of Ezra’s comments to help
guide your thoughts:
1. “I understand I am young, so I need to take on as much risk as I can.”
2. “I am willing to lose 30–40% on my invested capital if the return is commensurate.”
3. “I do like to have a decent sized cushion in the bank in case something happens at my job.”
4. “I don’t foresee my risk tolerance changing after I get married.”
5. “Do you have any good stock tips?”
Client 2:
Jacob and Rachel, 53 and 52 respectively, are married with four children. Two of the children are currently in college, and two are in high school. They expect the
other two children to attend college. The couple has done relatively well for themselves and earn roughly $275,000 before tax between the two of them, which
equates to $190,000 after taxes. They live well below their means, and this should allow them to cover all of their children’s college expenses out of pocket, but
it will not leave much for them to save over the next six to eight years. Through savings and portfolio growth, they have managed to accumulate $900,000. To
this point, they have been moderately aggressive (70–75% equities) with their portfolio, but they feel that they need to begin preparing the portfolio for partial
retirement in eight years, and full retirement in 13 years.
1. “I know we still need to be somewhat aggressive—we could live until we’re 90—so we need to plan for some growth even in retirement.”
2. “We definitely can’t afford to take a big hit in our portfolio. We don’t have enough time to recover.”
3. “Our jobs allow us to work part-time in retirement, and we will probably do so as long as we are able.”
4. “What do bond yields look like today?”
5. “I think we’ll need to draw on 3–5% of our portfolio in retirement. We’d like to earn enough income from the portfolio to cover that.”

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

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