...Carlos David 10/8/15 Media Week 6 Assignment Considering that fact that only ten to fifteen percent of new coble channels succeed is a steep factor. If a television show producer decides to create a new cable channel, they must figure out a way to satisfy a specific or unique market niche to be successful. They must do this because if they create a new channel that is tailored to a specific audience, however that audience is already satisfied with a cable channel that provides them with the content they want, that new channel will not succeed. Being a college student, I noticed that not many students take full advantage of their university. So if I was a television show producer, and I was deciding to create a new cable channel, it would be geared towards the average student. The channel would be simple; it would provide advice to students who are currently in college, and for high school students who are going to be applying to college. First lets talk about the high school aspect of it. Now generally there will be certain phases in the year where high school students will be applying to universities. With that being said, I know it isn’t easy for a sixteen or seventeen year old to fathom how overwhelming applying to college is, while at the same time trying to handle still taking classes and maybe even extracurricular activities. Maybe there can be a segment that will take up maybe an hour of the channel to discuss some tips for high school students. Some...

A person may breach s18 despite the fact that a statement or representation has been made honestly, innocently and without any intention to actively mislead or deceive. * Reputation: the need to establish the existence of a reputation or goodwill is more critical under passing off, as this requirement underpins the passing off action. The question is whether the use of the particular get-up or name by an alleged wrongdoer in relation to his product is likely to mislead or deceive persons familiar with the claimant’s product to believe that the two products are associated. * Misrepresentation: a conduct is likely to mislead or deceive meaning. The court will apply objective test in determining for itself whether conduct is misleading. An applicant can seek to protect trade designations, must establish that such designations are distinctive of the business or product to which they are attached or in words that they are exclusively associated with the applicants in the minds of customers.

What are some of the paradoxes typically associated with the practical implementation of greater participation?

Their religion is of the Christian variety. One unique aspect is that they practice adult baptism. They also don't engage in evangelism. * Number 6. Beard growing doesn't start until after marriage. Marriage doesn't happen until the person's been baptized. * Number 5. The Amish don't go to church. Rather, they have community Sunday services in their own homes.

...Assignment: Fixed and Variable Costs, Break-Even Point Exercise 10.1 Recompute fixed costs, variable costs, and the BEP. What are the variable costs? What are the fixed costs? How many meals will the WHDM program need to provide during the fiscal year to reach the BEP? How much profit will the program earn if it completes its 45,000-meal contract with the City of Westchester? The variable cost of service is $3.93 during the fiscal year the WHDM should provide 1,011 meals to reach their BEP of $3,665.76. The total profit the program will earn if it completes its contract of 45,000 meals is $1,859.77. 1. The difference = subtracting the low from the high with the months given. 4,900 – 3,500 = 1,400 The differences in costs = subtracting the low from the high time period costs $26,000 - $20,500 = $5,500 The variable cost per unit = dividing the difference in cost by the difference in service $5,500 / 1,400 = $3.93 Total variable cost = multiplying the variable cost by the low time period 3,500 x $3.93 = $13,755. Total fixed cost = subtracting the total variable cost from the low time period $20,500 - $13,755 = $6,745 Computing the Break Even Point = Px = A + Bx = $3,665.7 P will = $5.77 ($5.77x – 6745 + $3.93x) X will = $1.84 ($5.77 - $3.93 – 6745 + ($3.93...
