Results
Start by pointing reader to the figure you are talking about
Don’t use the term “significant” as you are not conducting inferential statistical tests.
Avoid vague qualifiers like “much longer” or “a lot higher”
Instead calculate the actual difference and report the difference
Figure 1 shows that overall the mean PRP increased as the unfavorable interval increased. The PRP was 2.31, 6.34, and 10.82 s longer when the FI was 15, 20, and 25 s, respectively, than when it was 10 s.

Quality Improvement in an AF Ablation ProgramJose Osorio
Atrial fibrillation ablation is an important treatment options for patients with AF. The number of AF ablations continue to rise annually but there is a limited number of Electrophysiology Laboratories and doctors. With the increasing prevalence of Afib, many institutions are finding bottlenecks with the increase volume.
We propose that a quality improvement initiative is the ideal way to improve efficiency, outcomes and safety of AF ablations with the end results being more patients treated with good results.

1. The document presents research investigating sensory gating processes in first-episode schizophrenia patients, their healthy siblings, and healthy controls using event-related potentials (ERPs).
2. Results found reduced P50, N100, and P200 peak-to-peak amplitudes and S1-S2 differences in first-episode schizophrenia patients compared to healthy siblings and controls, suggesting impaired sensory gating in patients.
3. Baseline-to-peak N100 amplitudes and S1-S2 differences were also reduced in patients compared to the other groups, providing further evidence of sensory gating deficits in first-episode schizophrenia.
This presentation discusses integrated healthcare services and spirometry testing. It defines integrated care according to the WHO and shows a simple schematic outline. Spirometry is explained as a test to diagnose lung conditions like COPD by measuring expiratory volumes and flows. Common errors in spirometry testing are described, such as expiration being too slow, excessive extrapolated volume, sub-maximal effort, and coughing in the first second. A case study examines spirometry results and finds them to be normal. The presentation concludes by proposing clinical decision support systems and remote assistance to help non-specialists with quality control of spirometry testing.
This document describes an experiment on the Stroop effect conducted by student Mak Koon Wing Kenneth. The experiment tested reaction times of 23 participants for color naming in congruent and incongruent color-word combinations. Results showed longer reaction times in incongruent trials compared to congruent trials, in line with predictions. Reaction times were also longer for older participants and English-as-a-second language speakers compared to native English speakers.
Standardizing Care and Increasing Efficiency in an Atrial Fibrillation ProgramJose Osorio
As the number of patients with afib continue to increase in the US, there is a growing need for Afib ablations. With a limited number of EP labs and doctors, each hospital will have to find safe ways to increase their number of procedures to meet the demand.
Our experience shows that by standardizing care and following guidelines and internal protocols, AF ablation programs can increase safety and efficacy while improving efficiency.

Final PaperOne reason that California have been known as the Gol.docxcharlottej5
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)

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.

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

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

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
Final PaperOne reason that California have been known as the Gol.docxcharlottej5
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 PaperIndia and China provide two fascinating country case st.docxcharlottej5
Final Paper
India and China provide two fascinating country case studies for comparing political systems, political cultures, economic growth and the future of the world’s two largest populations. Write a research paper comparing the systems, process and policy of these two countries and hypothesizing the future of each political system.
Students must address and compare the following areas:
Political System- to include the political environment, political structure and its functions.
Political Culture- to include system, process and policy levels to include how political socialization occurs in each country and what are the key agents for socialization in each.
Interest Articulation & Aggregation- describe how this occurs in each country.
Compare how public policy is crafted in these two countries
In conclusion, students will hypothesize the direction in which they believe each country will head in the future. Will these countries become more or less democratic? How will their political cultures change with increased economic prosperity? How might interest aggregation and public policy creation change in the future?

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. 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.

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

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

Explain your results
Option A
Step 1: Carefully read the following brief case study.
Bernice was hesitant during her initial counseling session
because she feared what the therapist would think of her. The
therapist focused on building a therapeutic alliance with
Bernice by engaging in empathic, nonjudgmental listening.
Soon, Bernice shared that she feared contamination. She was
particularly upset by touching wood, mail, and canned goods.
She also disliked touching silver flecks. By silver flecks,
Bernice meant silver embossing on greeting cards, eyeglass
frames, shiny appliances, and silverware. She was unable to
19. state why these particular objects were special sources of
possible contamination. Bernice became more distressed during
the session, and she started sharing what made her come for
counseling. Bernice shared that disturbing images pop in her
mind, and the images are mind’s eye pictures of her “worst
fear.” The images are so disturbing to Bernice that she showed
marked distress when talking about them. She explained that
the images were in regards to her child, “The person I love most
in the world and would do anything to protect.”
Bernice explained that she feels compelled to do specific
behaviors to try to reduce her distress. Bernice engages in a
variety of rituals that, when taken together, take up much of her
day. In the morning, she spends hours washing and rewashing.
Between each bath she has to scrape away the outer layer of her
bar of soap so that it will be free of germs. Bernice said that
although the decontamination rituals are tiresome, the rituals
she does to protect her child from harm are so detailed that
Bernice has to repeat them several times to get them “right.”
She said that she feels a sense of urgency to do the rituals
perfectly to protect her child.
Step 2: Based on the Bernice Case Study, identify the most
relevant psychological disorder associated with her symptoms
and explain your rationale.
(Hint: Bernice does *not* have a specific phobia; she does not
have “fear of germs.”)
Step 3: In your own words, explain what you have learned from
the assigned readings about the psychological disorder you
identified for the Bernice Case Study.
Step 4: You will need to select at least *one* academic journal
article that explains one treatment approach used for the
psychological disorder you identified for the Bernice Case
Study. To conduct your research on the treatment approach,
please use one of the following methods:
· You can search the following: Monitor on Psychology
(webpage, opens in a new tab). In the search box, type the
disorder you identified. Then, you can locate an article about a
20. treatment approach.
· You can also search the PsychArticles Database, which you
can access using the following steps. First click on: SPC's
LibraryOnline (webpage, opens in a new tab). Then, click
"Search Online." Next, click "Databases by Subject." Next to
"Social Sciences," click PsychArticles. In the search box, type
the disorder you identified. Then, you can locate an article
about a treatment approach.
· You can also search Google Scholar (webpage, opens in a new
tab). Google Scholar only provides an abstract, which is a
summary. After you locate an abstract on Google Scholar, you
will need to locate the full article on SPC's LibraryOnline
(webpage, opens in a new tab).
In your own words, summarize the treatment approach you
identified from the research you conducted. Please avoid
quoting the academic journal; instead, describe the treatment
approach with depth and in your own words. Use APA style for
in-text and reference page citations.
Step 5: Review the grading rubric (webpage, opens in new tab),
which explains the expectations for your writing assignment.
Step 6: Submit your responses to Steps 2, 3, and 4 in the drop
box. Please save your responses in PDF format or in RTF
format if you are not using Word.
Step 7: After the writing assignment is graded, please access
your rubric and feedback. The steps to do so are explained
here: https://mycoursessupport.spcollege.edu/dropbox-rubrics
(webpage, opens in a new tab).
Option B
Step 1: Review the Module 12 Gray Area (located in the
module). Next, read the following scenario:Your friend says, I
saw a movie in which the main character must have been
suffering from schizophrenia because he kept switching between
different personalities.
Step 2: Based on the minimal information in the scenario, state
the more likely psychological disorder and explain your
rationale.
21. Step 3: You will need to select at least *one* academic journal
article that explains the psychological disorder you identified.
To conduct your research, please use one of the following
methods:
· You can search the following: Monitor on Psychology
(webpage, opens in a new tab). In the search box, type the
disorder you identified. Then, you can locate a relevant article.
· You can also search the PsychArticles Database, which you
can access using the following steps. First click on: SPC's
LibraryOnline (webpage, opens in a new tab). Then, click
"Search Online." Next, click "Databases by Subject." Next to
"Social Sciences," click PsychArticles. In the search box, type
the disorder you identified. Then, you can locate a relevant
article.
· You can also search Google Scholar (webpage, opens in a new
tab). Google Scholar only provides an abstract, which is a
summary. After you locate an abstract on Google Scholar, you
will need to locate the full article on SPC's LibraryOnline
(webpage, opens in a new tab).
In your own words, summarize what you have learned from the
Module 12 Gray Area as well as your additional research to
describe the psychological disorder. Please avoid quoting the
assigned readings or your research; instead, describe the
psychological disorder with depth and in your own words. Use
APA style for in-text and reference page citations.
Step 4: In one sentence, explain the main difference between
the psychological disorder you identified and schizophrenia.
Step 5: Review the grading rubric (webpage, opens in new tab),
which explains the expectations for your writing assignment.
Step 6: Submit your responses to Steps 2, 3, and 4 in the drop
box. Please save your responses in PDF format or in RTF
format if you are not using Word.
Step 7: After the writing assignment is graded, please access
your rubric and feedback. The steps to do so are explained

Sections
Title page (page 1)
See your APA manual. Please note that the title page in the 6th
edition is different than in the 5th edition – the running head is
now the page header and should appear, along with the page
number, on all pages. Please think about your title and make
sure it is a good description of what we did this semester. Read
titles of other articles that you are using. In a title, it’s often
good to mention the independent and dependent variables – for
26. example, “Effects of Fixed-interval Length on…”
Abstract
(on page 2)
This is a 200-word (maximum) paragraph in which you
summarize the purpose (0.5 pt), method (0.5 pt), results (0.5
pt), and conclusions (0.5 pt) of your study. This paragraph is
NOT indented; it is aligned left only (as is the rest of the
paper). You don’t need lots of details here – but make sure to
summarize the actual results. Your abstract should be similar to
those in the articles.
Introduction
(starts on page 3; see table above for points for individual parts
of this section)
The title of this section is the title of your paper – NOT the
word “Introduction”.
Your introduction should be organized like an inverted triangle.
You should start with introductory sentences/paragraph in
which you describe schedules, pausing, etc. generally –
definition, pattern of behavior, etc. You don’t talk about your
study in this paragraph. You could talk about both FR and FI
schedules here or just FR – it’s up to you. But you do need to
describe pausing and run rate with FI schedules (Lowe et al.,
1983) somewhere in your introduction.
Then you should describe each of your six studies. The order in
which you describe the articles is up to you. The degree of
depth to your descriptions depends on the study, but you should
at least describe the subjects, the basic procedure, and the
results. You don’t need to describe every experiment or all
phases of an experiment in the article; describe what is most
relevant to our study and to the point you want to make. You
27. need to tie these descriptions together – you shouldn’t just have
a list of paragraphs. Think about how they are related and point
that out. If you include more articles, then the points per article
summary will be adjusted.
Make sure to cite the articles appropriately. If you are unsure
about citations, please talk to me. If you don’t cite
appropriately, then you might plagiarize.
Your last one or two paragraphs will be a description of your
study. You need to briefly describe the purpose, your methods
(but not a lot of details), and your predictions based on the
literature that you have just described. Remember, all the
previous rich-to-lean studies tend to use FR schedules, but we
used FI schedules. So it isn’t work load or difficulty or
reinforcer magnitude that is controlling the pauses. What is in
FI schedules?
Method
(starts immediately after Intro)
Revise and finish your subject, apparatus, procedure, and data
analysis sections. Remember – you need details. See table above
for points for individual sections.
Results
(starts immediately after you finish Data Analysis; see table
above for points for individual parts of this section)
You need to complete your figures before you write your results
as you will be referring to them in your results (e.g., Figure 1
shows that…). But you don’t need to wait until you get
feedback about your figures from me.
You should start with a general characterization of the effect of
28. the independent variable (see descriptions in articles). Then
describe the data quantitatively – don’t just say the PRP was
high in a particular transition, describe how much longer or
shorter it was compared to in the other transitions.
You should describe the PRP data first and make sure to answer
the questions that we have discussed in your descriptions. But
you also need to describe more of the data than just the answers
to these questions – you would want to describe the differences
in PRP across the transitions.
1. Did PRP increase as upcoming FI value increased?
a. You would want to compare the FI 10-s schedule with the
longer FIs and also compare the unfavorable FIs – as it
increased from FI 10 s to FI 15 s to FI 20 s, etc. (or whatever
values you had).
2. Did the past FI value interact with the upcoming FI value?
Was the PRP longer in the FUF transition than in the UFUF
transition?
a. This is the important comparison, but you also want to
describe the differences across the four transitions.
i. For example, were there differences in PRP in the FI 10-s
schedule in the UFF and the FF transitions?
3. How much did switching levers contribute to the differences
in pauses?
a. You can compare the difference in pauses between the FUF
and the UFUF to the difference in pauses between the UFF and
FF as both involve a switch in levers. You can’t just look at the
absolute differences in this comparison – you want to look at
percentage or proportion of difference - as the pauses are going
to be longer overall when the FI is longer.
Then you should describe your run rate data and answer similar
questions with respect to the run rate.
Discussion
29. (starts immediately after Results - see table above for points for
individual parts of this section)
Your discussion should be organized like a triangle. It should be
more than one or two paragraphs. It should take you a few pages
to fully discuss your study.
You should start with a summary of your results. This should be
just a paragraph, and the description is similar to what you put
in your abstract – you don’t have to present all of the detail
again.
Then you need to compare your results to results from past
studies. Make sure to clearly describe similarities and
differences.
Then explain your results. If you replicated previous research,
state that, but you also have to explain your results. Why is it
important and/or interesting that the rich-to-lean effect occurs
in FI schedules and not just FR schedules? Read the discussions
of the other articles.
If you didn't replicate the results, you need to explain, as best
you can, why you didn't replicate the results. Here you can refer
to other studies and look for procedural differences. What are
the differences between FR and FI schedules that would produce
the difference in results? Don’t just point to a difference in
their procedure, but you need to explain why that difference
would produce changes in their study but not in yours.
You should talk briefly about future directions. What other
studies would follow from yours?
You should point out any problems and describe how these
problems might have affected your results. And you should
describe how you would address them in future studies. Again,
30. it’s not enough to simply describe these issues; you need to
explain how those issues would affect your data (if those issues
weren’t there, do you think you would have seen different
results?). Remember, a variable is only a confounding variable
if it varies systematically with the independent variable. So to
be a confounding variable, something would have to be different
when one pellet was delivered than when four pellets were
delivered. Extraneous noise is a problem, but can’t be a
confounding variable as it was generally present throughout the
various conditions.
You don’t want to say that you only had 1 subject and that was
a problem. It’s not.
Finally, you need to summarize your study – make some
conclusions– you want to end strong. What is the “bottom line”
or the “take home message”?
References
(starts on a new page; the points for the reference are for
accuracy of the list (including spelling of names, complete
titles, etc.) and correspondence between citations and items in
the reference list – not the APA format)
Please consult your APA manual and previous Psy 355 papers
for the correct format (but don’t necessarily assume that what
you did in Psy 355 was correct). Do not rely on published
articles or PsycINFO; those references are not necessarily
printed in APA format. Revise your reference list from the
assignment. All references cited in the paper must be in the
reference list, and all references in the list must be cited in the
paper.
Figures and Captions
(each figure is on a new page; but you can have several graphs
in one figure)
31. Revise your figures from the assignment and add any more data
that you have collected. Make sure that if your figures have
mean/medians that you have included a measure of variability.
Also, make sure that your captions (use the caption feature in
Word once you have copied your graphs into Word) include all
the required information, including what is on the y and x-axes,
the legend, error bars, etc.

Psy 417 Assignment
Total points available: 15 points
7.5 points per summary
Due: May 1 at 10:00 p.m.
This assignment is to be completed individually and, although
related to our lab project, is to be completed independent of the
lab report that you will be submitting. The points earned on this
assignment will be added to your lab-participation point total
and will be factored into your final grade.
You can earn 7.5 points for 1 article summary or 15 points for 2
article summaries. The summaries of the article should be
32. similar to a summary that you would include in your
introduction. They should be approximately 250 words (1
double-spaced page). If you choose to complete two summaries,
then you should write them together in one essay – as if you
were writing both summaries as part of the same introduction.
You must:
1. Find 1 (or 2) empirical article that is related to your lab
project. THIS ARTICLE MUST BE IN A PEER-REVIEWED
JOURNAL AND INVOLVE AN EXPERIMENT. This article
cannot be one that has been described in class (see the
PowerPoint slides and your notes) or one that you are using for
your introduction of your lab report.
2. Obtain a pdf version of the article. This pdf file must be
submitted as part of your assignment. If you don't submit the
article, then I can't grade your summary.
3. Write a summary in complete sentences and paragraph format
of the article in which you include a description of the
following:
a. purpose
b. methods
c. results
d. what the results mean overall
e. how this article is related to your project
4. Format your paper in correct APA format; points will be
deducted for APA errors.
5. Write no more than one page per article (double spaced, 1-in.
margins, 12-pt font – approximately 250 words). I will stop
grading at one page if you submit one summary and at two
pages if you submit two summaries.
33. Your behavior must still conform to the rules of the class
and is subject to the Academic Honor Code.
That is, if you plagiarize or cheat on this assignment,
you will be referred to the Dean of Students.
