Firstly, the number of assessment items has been reduced from 3 to 2. This is partly in recognition of the multitude of pressures placed on students during peak assessment periods. Additionally, presentations will no longer be assessed outside of tutorials; seminar days, held in weeks 6, 7 and 8, inside the normal tutorial times provide the opportunity to present your work to an audience.

...PA 205-01 Unit 1 Assignment | | Kaplan University | PA 205-01 Unit 1 Assignment * Read case study * Describe the difference between legislation and case law The main difference between legislation and case law is who makes them. Legislation (or statutory) law consists of laws that are passed by the legislature, that is legislative branch of the U.S. government, or other governing agency. Examples of legislation include rule regulations and statutes. Judges can interpret what legislative law signifies if a dispute arises about a particular statute’s meaning. Also, a judge can declare a statute unconstitutional if it conflicts with the U.S. Constitution or state constitution. Case law is court or judge made law. It is also referred to as common law. Case law, on the other hand, is not based in origin by the government or legislature but evolves with new decisions made by a judge or court (Cheeseman & Goldman, 2010). * Answer Questions 1. List a statute from the case study and explain what it prohibits The statute in the case of Texas v. Johnson was Texas Penal Code section 42.09(a)(3). This statute prohibited disorderly conduct by a citizen. The Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute (LII) noted that in this case, Gregory Johnson’s desecration of a venerable object (the U.S....

Creativity: 5. Presentation: Name: removed for privacy STUDKEY: STUDNUMBER: Course: Unit Coordinator: Assignment: Number 3 – Make a critical assessment of the contribution of an author other than your lecturer to the development of your understanding of teaching in a Christian community. What are the key ideas of the writer that have proved particularly insightful for you? Reflect on the contribution of this writer to your thinking in the light of the course material you have studied and your reading of other authors. Due Date: Email Sent: I certify that this assignment is my own work. STUDENT’S SIGNATURE: Parker Palmer has made a significant contribution to my understanding of teaching in a Christian community. Through access to his published works “To Know As We Are Known, The Courage To Teach” and “Let Your Life Speak”, I have been enriched by Palmer’s viewpoints and themes on teacher’s, teaching and community. In many instances I found his viewpoints and philosophies insightful, exciting, challenging, daunting and confronting. In some instances I found his position unrealistic to my experience of teaching while also finding myself disagreeing with what I would see as being his liberal approach to theology.

...symbols, encoding of the symbols through communication channels, decoding and reproduction of original symbols and finally re-creation of the original information signal. All these features of a communication system can be described by three basic elements such as transmitter, channel and receiver. Figure 1.1: Basic structure of communication system 1.2 Wireless communication background In 1921, Detroit Michigan Police Dept. made the earliest significant use of Mobile radio in a vehicle in the United States. The system operated at a frequency close to 2 MHz. The channels soon became overcrowded. In 1940, new frequencies between 30 and 40 MHz were made available. Increasing the available channels encouraged a substantial buildup of police systems. Shortly thereafter other users found a need for this form of communication. Private individuals, companies and public agencies purchased and operated their own mobile units. In 1945, first public mobile telephone system in the U.S. was inaugurated in St. Louis, Missouri with three channels at 150 MHz. Six channels spaced 60 kHz apart were allocated for this service by the FCC, but the mobile equipment was not sophisticated enough to prevent interference. In 1947, a Public mobile system using frequencies in the 35 to 44 MHz band began operations along the highway between New York and Boston. These frequencies were thought to carry greater distances however a problem with skip-distance propagation carried interfering conversations...

...MG420 Research Assignment BY: Travis Jones 1.) Define and discuss the term “collective bargaining.” Include and discuss [showing relevance or applicability] a current web-based item/magazine article about a real life example of a collective bargaining action. Write a succinct and complete summary on the contents of the article you’ve provided along with your critical comments about that article. Support your findings with reference research. When the system is working effectively, efficiency, equity, and voice are achieved through collective bargaining. In collective bargaining, representatives of the employer and the employees negotiate the terms and conditions of employment that will apply to the employees. (txt book CH1 pg.18). New Farmer Health Insurance Relies On Collective Bargaining MADISON, Wis. (AP)--A new group health insurance program for Wisconsin farmers is the first of its kind in the country and will serve as a model for others to follow, designers of the plan said. The program promises to offer comprehensive insurance plans at cheaper rates than farmers could get on their own and with more extensive coverage and benefits. "People are waiting in the agricultural community for an option like this that will provide the health care they deserve," said Sandi Cihlar, 57, a dairy farmer in Mosinee, who attended Monday's news conference announcing the plan. The Farmers' Health Cooperative of Wisconsin relies on the collective bargaining power of the...

...ASSIGNMENT: CATHODE RAY OSCILLOSCOPE Name: Faisal Ahmed Moshiur Group: A Batch: 10 Roll: SH-99 Name: Faisal Ahmed Moshiur Group: A Batch: 10 Roll: SH-99 Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO): An oscilloscope is easily the most useful instrument available for testing circuits because it allows you to see the signals at different points in the circuit. The best way of investigating an electronic system is to monitor signals at the input and output of each system block, checking that each block is operating as expected and is correctly linked to the next. With a little practice, we will be able to find and correct faults quickly and accurately. The screen of a CRO is very similar to a TV, except it is much simpler. We will not go into the similarities except to say that the "picture tube" on a TV and the "screen" on a CRO are both a special type of valve called a Cathode Ray Tube. It is a vacuum tube with a cathode (negative electrode) at one end that emits electrons and anodes (positive electrodes) to accelerate the electron beam up/down and left/right to hit a phosphor coating at the end of the tube, called the screen. The electrons are called cathode rays because they are emitted by the cathode and this gives the oscilloscope its full name: Cathode Ray Oscilloscope or CRO. Internal Components 1. An indirectly heated cathode which provides a source of electrons for the beam by "boiling" them out of the cathode. 2. The anode (or plate)...

...Responses to Review Questions Answer One What are the factors that influence a company's decision to go abroad? Please explain how these are related to each other. In the discussion on the internationalisation process of a firm, the product life cycle model plays a major role. Please explain and discuss the usefulness this model. (A) Generally, the first decision to go abroad is a specific one. It is a decision to look at the possibility of a specific investment in a specific country, not a general decision to look around the globe for investment opportunities. At this stage the organisation has no experience with the complexities of foreign investment, although it often has had some export experience. There are no standard operating guidelines, which can be given to deal with these complexities. What is needed mostly is a strong push and/or commitment to go abroad. A company benefits from these earlier experiences in the subsequent investment decisions. The organisational factors include: • role of the management • motives of the organisation • success at home Other than these internal forces, a number of factors in the environment, outside the organisation, may also force a company to go abroad. These drivers of internationalisation may include: • unsolicited proposal that cannot be ignored. These may include proposals from a foreign government, distributor or customer • competitive drive or bandwagon effect following other competitors or a general belief...
