Animal Lab Report

Procedures: 1. Visit http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/phyla/phyla.html; Introduction to the Metazoa: Animals, Animals, Animals!, University of California, Berkeley Museum of Paleontology. Click the Systematics link and learn more about a group you desire to begin researching for this lab. Note: The boxes without images have not yet been developed. 2. If possible, visit a local zoo and try to learn more about the animal group you are researching. Take pictures, talk to the zookeepers, etc. 3. Visit a number of websites (a few starters are listed below) that deal with the great diversity of animals and their biological, ecological, and economic impacts on life and human society. Gather (and cite!) information and images to allow you to prepare a poster or PowerPoint presentation. 4. In your poster or PowerPoint presentation, you will need to detail the classification of the group of creatures you are detailing. 5. Required elements include: the time of first occurrence, fossil record (if any), economic and societal impact of the group, and its evolutionary importance (for example the green algae are not terribly important save as a stem group for the evolution of plants).

Example sites: http://www.tolweb.org/tree/ Tree of Life Web Project. Maintained by scientists and collaborators, this site organizes over 5000 web pages about the classification and relationships of the domains and other taxonomic groups. http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/index.html Links for Systematics. This site compiles many links to aid your research.

For this assignment, select an organization of your choice on which to conduct a thorough SWOT analysis of the internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats for that organization. You can write about your current or former workplace or any organization with which you are familiar, such as a well-known company, your church, volunteer organization, or even DeVry University. Please remember that research is required so use an actual organization for which you can find information. This is not a case where you could make one up information.

You must use the mandatory rubric located in Doc Sharing to organize your paper. You do not need to turn in your rubric. Your SWOT analysis should be in a cohesive essay format—no bullet points.

My company is AT&T.

There are four (4) critical success factors that are important for effective risk management: supportive organization; competent people; appropriate methods, tools and techniques; and simple, scalable process. Determine three (3) obstacles for an organization to manage risk effectively. Suggest strategies from the perspective of a project manager to avoid the obstacles.

“Project Initiation” Please respond to the following:

Using the “Stakeholder Analysis Template” (Appendix B2 in the Hillson and Simon text) for a company that you currently work for or you are familiar with, determine the key stakeholders and categorize them by their attitude, power, and interest dimensions. Explain how stakeholder analysis affects the overall project risk management within an organization.

Learning Team Case – Week 4 A firm has five identified capital projects they could fund in the upcoming year. Each project has a initial capital cost of $5,000,000, however the firm only has $15,000,000 allocated for capital projects in the current year. The company needs to decide which projects to fund. The firms initial cost of capital (discount rate) is 8%.

Bob is at the Boston Biceps Bodybuilding Club riding an exercise bike. Bob wants to change the station on the television which is mounted high on a nearby wall. He reaches for the remote control device, and finds that another member has accidentally taken the remote control device and left behind a cellular phone. Bob drags the exercise bike over to the television. He stands on the seat of the exercise bike in order to reach the television, but the seat post breaks and Bob falls to the floor. Bob is not injured, but cannot control his temper. He puts his 180 pounds of all muscle/no fat into destroying the exercise bike. He throws it across the room against the wall, breaking it into several pieces. The handlebars land on the running track. Bob finds another exercise bike and continues his workout. Another patron, Randy, trips over the handlebars while running on the track about 30 minutes later. Randy sues both Bob and the Club for negligence. Discuss separately the case against each defendant, and the potential for a case against the bike manufacturer.

THis only has to be about 2 paragraphs in a Microsoft Word document. This weeks discussion for my Organizational Research class is:

1.What do you think about small sample sizes?

2.What are the advantages? and Disadvantages?

3.What about Qualitative vs Quantitative designs?

The teachers provided us with this Abstract: You can apply comments with what she provided us, and you can also discuss the 3 question on ones own. Thank you so much for your help and time.

This work employs a phenomenological approach to investigate how people experience the radical transformation of their work lives caused by reengineering (BPR) processes. The common essences of the experiences of three co-researchers are synthesized into a composite textural-structural description of the reengineering phenomenon. The analysis of the rich, multidimensional information offered by participants reveals that reengineering projects elicit complex experiences involving a multitude of horizons. In particular, the analysis suggests that, by taking the discourse of efficiency to extremes, reengineering ends up by unveiling the conflicts inherent in the arrangements that generally characterize workplace. This proposition goes beyond the traditional belief that the basic reason for resistance in BPR projects is the fear of layoffs or the modification of power arrangements. Indeed, such factors seem to be part of the problem. It is also necessary to understand the imp! ortant role of the crisis that reengineering may generate in individuals’ ongoing process of sense making.

Polly purchased a Ford Pinto from Fred s Ford in Farmersville, Florida. It was her first car. She was proud of her purchase and drove it to work and on weekend trips. One Saturday, Polly packed up her Pinto and headed to a state park in Pensacola. As she was driving on Alligator Alley, traffic began to back up. Rodney Roadrage was also on the road, and being an aggressive driver was speeding well above the speed limit. As he talked on his cell phone, Rodney took his eyes off the road and ran into Polly s Pinto. The collision ruptured the gas tank located in the rear of Polly s Pinto. The gas tank exploded and Polly and Rodney Roadrage were seriously injured as a result of the explosion. Polly suffered cuts and abrasions from the broken glass and severe burns from the explosion. Polly was in the hospital for three weeks. Polly comes to your office. She wishes to recover damages for the injuries she sustained. As her attorney what course of action would you recommend to Polly? In discussing your answer please discuss the tort theories of product liability. Which one would you choose and why? Discuss your choice in detail. Please define and discuss the defenses that may be applicable in this product liability case. Your answer must be between two and four pages in length, double spaced, with 12 point Times New Roman font.
