...Section B 1. Write a summary of “Sports Leader” in about 150 words. Sports leader is a short story written by Jane Rogers, (B. 1952). The story takes place in the north of England at Huddersfield. Here we’re introduced to a few people, amongst these the main character, the boy. This boy is living with his foster mom Eileen. He still has no finished exams at the age of sixteen, and is always sitting in front of the television. He dreams of training athletes, Olympics. People believe he has his head in the clouds. One day the boy starts working as a window cleaner. Dedicated he shows up every day ready for work. Despite not being too bright, the kid is still trustworthy and is given the “privilege” of collecting money for his boss Phil. One day the boy is robbed, and thus not having a single scratch, the boy is given no benefit of the doubt. Phil tells the boy not to come back again. 2. Characterize the boy who is the main character. The boy is a sixteen year old teenager. He’s harmless and mostly sits in front of the television. All he ever wanted was to become a Sports Trainer. Despite being bossed around like the big chunk he turned out to become, he once was a fit person, giving his ambitions a slight chance of realism. He’s not too bright either. He doesn’t have an exam and is a bit of a day dreamer. Day dreaming away, the boy gets joy from the little things in life, the things we add no value. “Page 9, line 47” * “The boy liked collecting. He liked being...

...Both magazines categorise their audiences in different ways but a main factor is content. Content on ‘Mens Health’ clearly indicates a male audience; this is done by numerous masculine ways. One of which is the use of image, normally a masculine figure on the magazine, in my specific magazine edition it is a UFC fighter centralised in a fighting pose. This conveys masculinity and appeals to the average man to want to look like and the want to be tougher. This is categorising the audience to people who want to change or improve their body. Terms such as ‘best’ are repeated on the cover, which we can see using Young and Rubicon’s 4C’s table that the category ‘aspirer’ would fit in perfectly for this. A person who wants nothing but the best; this is reinforced immediately with terms such as ‘instant results’ which also apply to that category. The purpose of the magazine is not only to try and get people to buy it, but to believe in what they are selling and that the magazine can change your life physically and mentally. Exaggeration is used in the magazine heavily, with phrases like “Get NASA IQ”, which is absurd to think that...

They are presented in a format to encourage you the retailer to work on these principles within your business. By the very nature of retailing, markets and customers will change over time. Retailers must understand and mange this information through category management. Due to the limited amount of time available in the review, the principles will be limited in there scope to generic retail principles. Managing your retail business through category management improves your knowledge and ability to react quicker to the customer’s wants and needs. As a retail owner you need to have at least 15 categories based on product groupings within your store. You can also break down each category into sub categories for further analysis. The categories that you establish will be the basis of ongoing management across key performance indicators (KPI’s) that you want to manage within your business. The categories you chose should be based on product types or groupings. If you are in food for example your categories would be your menu offer for example: sandwiches, cold drinks, coffee, cakes, salads, donuts. If you are in home wares categories like: gadgets, dinnerware, saucepans, kitchen ware, and glass ware are some examples. How good is your collection of data?

The three of these categories scored 40 and ranked in the 99th percentile, these would be considered my primary thinking styles. My secondary style is the affiliate style, which received 38 and ranked in the 93rd percentile. Pertaining to the 12 o’clock position, self actualizing, I feel that I relate to this style, however it is not the style I self identify with the most. Per LSI description, Self-Actualizers are effective because they seek possibilities in all opportunities. It also states that I have a strong concern for self-development, strong instincts & intuition, and I have an energetic and exciting approach for life. The achievement style is another style that I can relate to, but do not self identify with. I feel as though I have a personal need to be the over achiever; Especially in the academic world. I also like to have things in order, I lead by example as the descriptions say. Humanistic encouraging is the 1 o’clock position. This is the style that I scored high on and feel I can self identify. The LSI description says that I have a concern for the growth and development of others as well as nurturing side. I fully agree with this. I feel this allows me to better my relationships...

...is to represent all products in a store in a catalog, either in a print format, or in case of online store, an electronic catalog. To simplify the catalog building process and customer browsing of a catalog, products are often classified into categories where similar products that share common attributes are in one broad category. An example would be footwear, where each product in this category shares some common attributes like size, material, color, gender (male, female, or children), and then can have more specialized sub-categories like sports footwear. Another example would be an appliances category where all have more specialized sub-categories like sports footwear. Products share common attributes as an operating voltage, color, energy consumption, dimensions (height, width and length), and further have some special sub-categories like refrigerators. An online store would be interested with categorizing its products to be able to add new products efficiently, as it would only need to add the new product to its sub-category and specify values for its attributes that were defined in the product subcategory and all the parent categories. Therefore, re-using previously defined attributes for a product category. A typical customer would be interested with selecting a product based on certain attributes, like selecting a stainless steel refrigerator, and then to compare on other attributes like getting...

...subcategory by giving examples of each. These categories are given the acronym STEPPS, which stands for social currency, triggers, emotion, public, practical value, and stories. Berger explains these six categories in depth. It was really interesting to see why people do what they do. While reading these examples, I realized that we go through everyday life trying to make ourselves look good whether it would be the way we dress or changing our personality. Berger allowed his audience to put a name to each category and demonstrated with examples, which made it very clear to understand. I really enjoyed the book because I felt Berger had a great sense of humor. He would link a small quote to each category that really stuck with the reader. I think overall this helped contribute to a better grasp on the information. For the public category, he said, “monkey see, monkey do” which I felt was the perfect description. If people start wearing yellow live strong bracelets, you obviously can’t be the person without one, hence you almost feel obliged to purchase one. What I took away from this book is being able to look at these examples and categories from a business point of view. As a consumer I definitely feel more informed with why things actually do catch on, but as a business student I feel that I now understand how business may be able to use these concepts to increase their efficiency. This book gave me insight on how businesses can use these categories especially in their marketing department...

...Data Categories Data categories are groupings of data with common characteristics or features. Master Data | Master data describe the people, places, and things that are involved in an organiza- tion’s business.Examples include people (e.g., customers, employees, vendors, suppliers), places (e.g., locations, sales territories, offices), and things (e.g., accounts, products, assets, docu- ment sets).Because these data tend to be used by multiple business processes and IT systems, standardizing master data formats and synchronizing values are critical for successful system integration.Master data tend to be grouped into master records, which may include associated reference data. An example of associated reference data is a state field within an address in a customer master record. | Transactional Data | Transactional data describe an internal or external event or transaction that takes place as an organization conducts its business.Examples include sales orders, invoices, purchase orders, shipping documents, pass- port applications, credit card payments, and insurance claims.These data are typically grouped into transactional records, which include associated master and reference data. | Reference Data | Reference data are sets of values or classification schemas that are referred to by systems, applications, data stores, processes, and reports, as well as by transactional and master records.Examples include lists of valid values, code lists, status codes, state abbreviations...

...Criminology addresses three categories of hypothesis, which endeavored to clarify criminal behavior. These categories are Psychological, sociological and Biological speculations. All three theories attempted to make great efforts to establish credibility and dependability. In spite of the fact that ideas that included crime causation and establishment of current criminology started with a basic and reasonable methodology of classic criminology. Recognizing the reason for criminal behavior from the hypothesis stance turned into a particular and significant assignment of criminology. Classic theorists accepted that criminal conduct is represented by an independent and free choice and their perspectives were simply philosophical. Enrico Ferri, an Italian Criminologist Suggested a characterization of criminal sorts. These classifications were: • Born or instinctive • The insane • The passionate • The involuntary • The occasional • The habitual...

...ATLANTIC INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY A Model Theory for Generic Schema Management Models Kinan M Al Haffar UM4699SIT10550D 07/08/2007 Abstract The core of a model theory for generic schema management is developed. This theory has two distinctive features: it applies to a variety of categories of schemas, and it applies to transformations of both the schema structure and its integrity constraints. A subtle problem of schema integration is considered in its general form, not bound to any particular category of schemas. The proposed solution, as well as the overall theory, is based entirely on schema morphisms that carry both structural and semantic properties. Duality results that apply to the two levels (i.e., the schema and the data levels) are established. These results lead to the main contribution of this paper: a formal schema and data management framework for generic schema management. Implications of this theory are established that apply to integrity problems in schema integration. The theory is illustrated by a particular category of schemas with object-oriented features along with typical database integrity constraints. 1 Introduction This paper presents the core results of a model theory for generic schema management, by which we mean schema and database transformation capabilities that are independent of a particular data model. Such transformations require major database programming tasks, such as integrating source schemas when building a data warehouse...
