The paper will include a 0.5 page introduction, a 1 page section explaining threats and risks, a 1 page section on controlling threats and risks, a 1 page section on management implications and considerations, and a 0.5 page conclusion.
The paper should be at least 950 words and should not exceed 1,250 w.docx
The paper should be at least 950 words and should not exceed 1,250 words. (One double-spaced page of 12-point Times New Roman font is about 300 words.) It should be formatted according to MLA guidelines. College—the cost, the requirements, the question of whether it’s the right choice for everyone, etc. Paper Structure: The paper should be multi-modal, meaning it should utilize at least two rhetorical modes. Refer to pages 124-125 for an outline of what to include in each section of your paper. Use the following guidelines to structure your paper: I. Introduction: Your intro should identify an issue by describing it in detail, gain the readers’ interest and create common ground, establish the importance of the issue, establish credibility for you to speak on this topic, and set up the thesis statement. The thesis statement should give your readers a clear sense of what your position will be. II. Body: Your body paragraphs should effectively use logos, ethos, and pathos to appeal to readers, while also acknowledging and rebutting the opposition when appropriate. Your body paragraphs should use the various rhetorical modes to define and defend your position, such as narration, explanation, definition, compare/contrast, description, and cause/effect. The paragraphs should build off of each other to gradually develop a detailed and complex argument. III. Conclusion: Your conclusion should explain what the fully-developed argument of the paper is and reflect on the implications of that argument for the paper’s audience: sophisticated readers who are interested in or involved in public decisions involving your topic. Make sure it is clear what you want the audience to think or do. This is also a good place to reinforce your credibility and offer an emotional appeal to further move your audience. Style and Tone: This paper requires you to work closely with multiple sources, which means that you will need to use signal phrases and in-text citation consistently and properly (according to MLA guidelines) in order to effectively manage your source material without allowing it to overpower your own voice. In describing and responding critically to your source material, you must be sure to avoid unintentional plagiarism. Remember that you are addressing an audience of intelligent, sophisticated readers who come from a variety of backgrounds and hold a variety of positions on cultural issues. Your tone, therefore, should remain objective and respectful throughout the paper.

The paper is due on Nov. 3rd at 20:00 New York Time.
Length:
take "3-5 pages" as a guideline, not an absolute requirement. You don't need to be counting words. But it is probably impossible to deal with these topics well in less than 3 pages, and if you write much more than 5 you are probably trying to do too much. The statement "3-5 pages" refers to double-spaced printing in a normal 12-point font, and would be equivalent to approximately 750-1250 words.
The specific topics. Choose and develop one.
Explore Virgil’s use of Homer. To think about this, you would begin by identifying several ways in which Virgil uses Homer, from large-scale features like the comparison of Aeneas to Odysseus to small-scale features like the many references to incidents in Homer or to the words of Homer. We will have discussed some of these things in class, and you should be able to find others. Once you have identified several ways in which Virgil used Homer, think about why Virgil used his predecessor poet in those ways. Was it just because Greek literature had such prestige in Virgil’s Rome, or does it go beyond that? For example, are readers invited to compare Aeneas to one or more of Homer’s heroes and, through the comparison, see certain aspects of Aeneas’s character more clearly? Are readers invited to compare Virgil’s style to Homer’s and, through the comparison, understand more clearly what Virgil is trying to do?
Consider the role of the poet/narrator in Homer and Virgil. We have talked about the beginnings of the poems, and the different ways the poets announce their projects and invoke their muses. You may certainly use those discussions, but to write on this topic you will need to get beyond them. Other than at the beginnings, do Homer and Virgil narrate differently? Do their narrators dramatize their own roles to the same degree? Do their narrators comment on the action of the plot to the same degree?
Consider how Virgil creates multiple and complex layers of meaning in The Aeneid. What meanings does The Aeneid have beside the obvious story about the founding of Rome by Aeneas? How does Virgil create these other meanings? Optionally, you may also consider whether the Aeneid is different from Homer's works in this respect. The argument is sometimes made that Homer's works are "all surface," that they do not create multiple and complex layers of meaning. Do you agree with this? If so, explore how Homer and Virgil are different.
Consider questions of visual narrative and the relationships between verbal and visual narratives of the same story. Specifically, examine the set of Aeneid images linked below, and consider these questions. Can the images tell a story independently? How much knowledge of Virgil’s text, or how much knowledge of the story of Aeneas is necessary for making sense of the images? Do the creators of the image seem to have relied heavily on detailed reading of Virgil’s text in creating the images? Do the images seem to de.

the paper is about:
The objective of this assignment is for you to reflect and think critically on your future directions in life, and how an MPPA degree will positively impact your employment and life endeavors (volunteer work, community work, etc.). The concept of “vocation” does not only refer to one’s occupation. It can also be thought of as one’s “calling”, that is: What is the broader understanding you have about yourself as part of a larger community? And, what gives you priority when choosing options in your work and life?
Or, others ways to think about your vocation might be: Why get an MPPA? What areas of Public Policy & Administration are you most interested in and why? What are some of the public sector / community issues you are working in and why? You do not need to answer all of those questions in two double-spaced pages, use what questions work for you as inspiration.
**If you have already written a vocation paper for one of my other courses, please take time to reflect on your growth since the last paper.

The OpportunityRichard Larson was excited about the challenge of.docx
The Opportunity
Richard Larson was excited about the challenge of improving PFVC’s profitability. He just completed the difficult task reorganizing and consolidating PFVC’s office in Sturgeon Bay with several long-term, highly-valued employees from the individually acquired vegetable companies no longer being severed. His assembled team in Sturgeon Bay was ready to tackle the task at hand. Several months ago, Carlos Rico, a marketing manager approached him with an innovative new convenience food product idea combining frozen vegetables, spaetzels (a coated seasoned pasta), and chicken in the same bag. It was designed to compete against other convenience foods such a frozen pizza. Based on preliminary analysis, the new product represented a potential homerun for PFVC with company sales expected to increase by 20 percent and predicted gross margins nearly double the current vegetable offerings. While the potential for this new product was palpable, Richard was a realist given PFVC’s history of new product introductions. The latest was
Soup-in-a-Flash
—a microwaveable soup starter kit introduced by PFVC’s predecessor Anchor Vegetables that failed miserably. It ended with the write-off of $10 million of unsold finished goods, packaging and manufacturing lines during the company reorganization. This represented half of the company’s profits from the prior year and served as a painful reminder to Richard of the team’s challenge. As a result, Parson Company executives were cautious and not enthusiastic about investing in another PFVC new product even though the management team associated with
Soup-in-a-Flash
was no longer with the company. Richard mused, “If this new product fails, my tenure as the CEO of the largest vegetable company in the United States may be short-lived.” Failure was not an option.
The Team
Richard decided to assemble a cross functional team of PFVC’s best sales, production and financial professionals to pursue this apparent golden opportunity of a new, healthy frozen convenience meal. Richard addressed the team, “Congratulations and welcome. You have been selected to participate in potentially the most important new product initiative in PFVC’s history. As you might recall, our last new product initiative
Soup-in-a-Flash
was not a rousing success. The new product you will be working on has the potential to create a whole new category of higher-margin convenience foods for PFVC. Initial projections look promising. This is Carlos’ idea, so I will let him explain.”
As Richard gestured, Carlos stood and moved to the front of the conference room. “Thanks, Richard. Good afternoon. As many of you aware, we currently produce
Pasta Done,
a microwaveable product consisting of vegetables and spaetzels. But this innovative new product idea is going to take that concept one step further and is unlike anything on the market. We are going to add protein—in this case cooked chicken—to the vegetables and spaetzels

The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of a company's annual report. Users of financial information need to understand the notes to accurately analyze a company. Harmonization does not exist on information included and calculations released in footnote disclosures. Below is a footnote disclosure from AT&T's 2007 Annual Report regarding foreign currency translation. The footnote below follows U.S. GAAP.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our foreign investments and foreign subsidiaries generally report their earnings in their local currencies. We translate our share of their foreign assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. We translate our share of their revenues and expenses using average rates during the year. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from exchange-rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in earnings as incurred. We have also entered into foreign currency contracts to minimize our exposure to risk of adverse changes in currency exchange rates. We are subject to foreign exchange risk for foreign currency-denominated transactions, such as debt issued, recognized payables and receivables and forecasted transactions. At December 31, 2007, our foreign currency exposures were principally Euros, British pound sterling, Danish krone and Japanese yen.

THE NEED FOR EVIDENCE Almost all reasoning we encounter includes bel.docx
THE NEED FOR EVIDENCE Almost all reasoning we encounter includes beliefs about the way the world was, is, or is going to be that the communicator wants us to accept as “facts.” These beliefs can be conclusions, reasons, or assumptions. We can refer to such beliefs as factual claims. The first question you should ask about a factual claim is, “Why should I believe it?” Your next question is, “Does the claim need evidence to support it?” If it does, and if there is no evidence, the claim is a mere assertion, meaning a claim that is not backed up in any way. You should seriously question the dependability of mere assertions! If there is evidence, your next question is, “How good is the evidence?” To evaluate reasoning, we need to remember that some factual claims can be counted on more than others. For example, you probably feel quite certain that the claim “most U.S. senators are men” is true, but less certain that the assertion “practicing yoga reduces the risk of cancer” is true. Because it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to establish the absolute truth or falsity of most claims, rather than asking whether they are true, we prefer to ask whether they are dependable. In essence, we want to ask, “Can we count on such beliefs?” The greater the quality and quantity of evidence supporting a claim, the more we can depend on it, and the more we can call the claim a “fact.” For example, abundant evidence exists that George Washington was the first president of the United States of America. Thus, we can treat that claim as a fact. On the other hand, there is much conflicting evidence for the belief “bottled water is safer to drink than tap water.” We thus can’t treat this belief as a fact. The major difference between claims that are opinions and those that are facts is the present state of the relevant evidence. The more supporting evidence there is for a belief, the more “factual” the belief becomes. Before we judge the persuasiveness of a communication, we need to know which factual claims are most dependable. How do we determine dependability? We ask questions like the following: What is your proof? How do you know that’s true? Where’s the evidence? Why do you believe that? Are you sure that’s true? Can you prove it? You will be well on your way to being among the best critical thinkers when you develop the habit of regularly asking these questions. They require those making arguments to be responsible by revealing the basis for their arguments. Anyone with an argument that you should consider will not hesitate to answer these questions. They know they have substantial support for their claims and, consequently, will want to share their evidence in the hope that you will learn to share their conclusions. When people react to simple requests for evidence with anger or withdrawal, they usually do so because they are embarrassed as they realize that, without evidence, they should have been less assertive about their beliefs. When we regula.

Being micromanaged feels restrictive and stressful as constant oversight leaves little autonomy, while being empowered gives freedom and confidence as one has ownership over their work without excessive control from others. To avoid micromanaging, give direct reports space to perform their roles and make decisions on their own, and to empower provide clear expectations and trust others can complete tasks independently.

The OpportunityRichard Larson was excited about the challenge of.docx
The Opportunity
Richard Larson was excited about the challenge of improving PFVC’s profitability. He just completed the difficult task reorganizing and consolidating PFVC’s office in Sturgeon Bay with several long-term, highly-valued employees from the individually acquired vegetable companies no longer being severed. His assembled team in Sturgeon Bay was ready to tackle the task at hand. Several months ago, Carlos Rico, a marketing manager approached him with an innovative new convenience food product idea combining frozen vegetables, spaetzels (a coated seasoned pasta), and chicken in the same bag. It was designed to compete against other convenience foods such a frozen pizza. Based on preliminary analysis, the new product represented a potential homerun for PFVC with company sales expected to increase by 20 percent and predicted gross margins nearly double the current vegetable offerings. While the potential for this new product was palpable, Richard was a realist given PFVC’s history of new product introductions. The latest was
Soup-in-a-Flash
—a microwaveable soup starter kit introduced by PFVC’s predecessor Anchor Vegetables that failed miserably. It ended with the write-off of $10 million of unsold finished goods, packaging and manufacturing lines during the company reorganization. This represented half of the company’s profits from the prior year and served as a painful reminder to Richard of the team’s challenge. As a result, Parson Company executives were cautious and not enthusiastic about investing in another PFVC new product even though the management team associated with
Soup-in-a-Flash
was no longer with the company. Richard mused, “If this new product fails, my tenure as the CEO of the largest vegetable company in the United States may be short-lived.” Failure was not an option.
The Team
Richard decided to assemble a cross functional team of PFVC’s best sales, production and financial professionals to pursue this apparent golden opportunity of a new, healthy frozen convenience meal. Richard addressed the team, “Congratulations and welcome. You have been selected to participate in potentially the most important new product initiative in PFVC’s history. As you might recall, our last new product initiative
Soup-in-a-Flash
was not a rousing success. The new product you will be working on has the potential to create a whole new category of higher-margin convenience foods for PFVC. Initial projections look promising. This is Carlos’ idea, so I will let him explain.”
As Richard gestured, Carlos stood and moved to the front of the conference room. “Thanks, Richard. Good afternoon. As many of you aware, we currently produce
Pasta Done,
a microwaveable product consisting of vegetables and spaetzels. But this innovative new product idea is going to take that concept one step further and is unlike anything on the market. We are going to add protein—in this case cooked chicken—to the vegetables and spaetzels

The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of a comp.docx
The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of a company's annual report. Users of financial information need to understand the notes to accurately analyze a company. Harmonization does not exist on information included and calculations released in footnote disclosures. Below is a footnote disclosure from AT&T's 2007 Annual Report regarding foreign currency translation. The footnote below follows U.S. GAAP.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our foreign investments and foreign subsidiaries generally report their earnings in their local currencies. We translate our share of their foreign assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. We translate our share of their revenues and expenses using average rates during the year. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from exchange-rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in earnings as incurred. We have also entered into foreign currency contracts to minimize our exposure to risk of adverse changes in currency exchange rates. We are subject to foreign exchange risk for foreign currency-denominated transactions, such as debt issued, recognized payables and receivables and forecasted transactions. At December 31, 2007, our foreign currency exposures were principally Euros, British pound sterling, Danish krone and Japanese yen.
