Write a 1000 word essay in which you analyze and describe a song (Beach Boys – “Good Vibrations”)
from the assigned time period 1954-1970. Your analysis should include musical description, historical context, and reflection on the impact and significance of both musician and music.

When selecting a song to write about, choose something that you personally enjoy or consider to be a significant example of music of the period, either because of its musical quality or its social significance. Imagine that we as a class are compiling a history of popular music, and you get to choose a song to represent this period of music history. The discussion board portion of this assignment will involve posting an informal (300 word) paragraph in which you explain your reasons for choosing this piece. You will then browse through your classmates posts and vote for three favorites.

Your essay should include the following five points:

Thesis statement: consider the overall message, theme, intention, or significance of the song
Historical/social context of the relevant genre of music and/or particular song
Information about the composer or performer that reflects on the musical creativity demonstrated by this song*
Description/analysis of the chosen song (consider elements of musical style, lyrical content, performance style, social significance, etc.)
Conclusion: summarize the most important points of your essay and draw some conclusions on the meaning, message, and/or significance of your chosen song
This essay requires outside research including at least two academically viable sources, one of which may be your textbook. Your essay should include a properly formatted (Turabian) works cited page and citations within the essay. Choose your sources carefully and do not use Wikipedia, About.com, or any other resource that simply reproduces the Wikipedia article.

Neither works cited nor lyrics will be included in your word count.

Academic Rigour
Your assignment should clearly include the academic insight, i.e. the concepts and the supporting references involved, indicated in the report and listed in the references and bibliography.

You are to write up a case study for a company that uses technology in the workforce. An internet/library search will give you a good idea about companies that have 10K reports, or even annual reports. You can not use another student’s case study as your source of information. You must create your own case study from primary documents, academic literature or even a news source. This case study must be at least 5 pages no less, not including your title page and your citation page.

APA Guidelines:

Please visit the link below to familliarize yourself with APA Guidelines. This is the only style accepted for the final paper.

(You must copy and paste this link into you browser)

The link will show you how to reference resources and how to cite them within the text of the paper. If you have any questions, please contact me now. There will be no exceptions made after the paper is submitted.

When writing a case study analysis, you must first have a good understanding of the company by reading 10K reports, annual reports, periodicals, and journal articles. Before you begin the steps below, research the organization carefully, taking notes all the while. It may be necessary to read the document several times to fully grasp the issues facing the company or industry.

The following sections should be included in your final paper:

1. History and Growth. Investigate and analyze the company’s past. It can greatly affect the present and future state of the organization. To begin your case study analysis, investigate the company’s founding, critical incidents, structure, and growth.

2. Strengths and Weaknesses. Identify strengths and weaknesses internal to the organization. Using the information you gathered in step one, continue your case study analysis by examining and making a list of the value creation functions of the company. For example, the company may be weak in product development, but strong in marketing.

3. External Environment. The third step in a case study analysis involves identifying opportunities and threats within the company’s external environment. Special items to note include competition within the industry, bargaining powers, and the threat of substitute products.

4. Analysis. Using the information in the previous steps, you will need to create an evaluation for this portion of your case study analysis. Compare the strengths and weaknesses within the company to the external threats and opportunities. Determine if the company is in a strong competitive position and decide if it can continue at its current pace successfully.

5. Corporate Level Strategy. To identify a company’s corporate level strategy for your case study analysis, you will need to identify and evaluate the company’s mission, goals, and corporate strategy. Analyze the company’s line of business and its subsidiaries and acquisitions. You will also want to debate the pros and cons of the company strategy.

6. Business Level Strategy. Thus far, your case study analysis has identified the company’s corporate level strategy. To perform a complete analysis, you will need to identify the company’s business level strategy. (Note: if it is a single business, the corporate strategy and the business level strategy will be the same.) For this part of the case study analysis, you should identify and analyze each business level’s competitive strategy, marketing strategy, costs, and general focus.

7. Implementations. This portion of the case study analysis requires that you identify and analyze the structure and control systems that the company is using to implement its business strategies. Evaluate organizational change, levels of hierarchy, employee rewards, conflicts, and other issues that are important to the company you are analyzing.

8. Recommendations. The final part of your case study analysis should include your recommendations for the company. Every recommendation you make should be based on and supported by the context of your case study analysis.

PS. I will attach my first paper of final. You have to use it. Do not change the company.
Thank you

The rock cycle and Plate tectonics are interconnected. Take a rock of your choice through the rock cycle, describe how the rock is changed within the rock cycle and suggest the plate tectonic setting in which this change occurred. Remember uplift and erosion have plate tectonic reasons for occurring.

2) How do you go about assessing radon and uranium risks for any locality. For the South Mountain Batholith are on the colour map (from assignment #2 on blackboard) assess the radioactivity risks. Choice a site within the South Mountain Batholith for a new housing project and explain what precautions might be taken to minimize the risks for radon and uranium exposure. How would your approach differ if you were looking for a uranium deposit?

3) Nuclear waste disposal is a serious concern. Describe some of the disposal options being planned. How you would chose a site for disposal and what precautions might be taken prior to commissioning a facility.

4) Outline the geological setting and ore forming mechanisms for the following:
a) unconformity deposit
b) Roll Front Deposit
How might these two types of deposits be related.

5) What are the types of ionizing radiation? How does ionizing radiation relate to the Forces? How does ionizing radiation relate to the instrumentation necessary to measure radiation. What is the difference between a dosimeter and a scintillometer/spectrometer and why do we need both?

Select a concept that you care about and that you may want to do your final research paper on- and perhaps you even want to work on this issue in your future career! Now, find two dependent variables (DV) that are attempts to measure that concept. One must be interval and one must be ordinal. One must be interval and one must be ordinal (got it?). Remember the first day when you identified the big problems facing the world? Hopefully, there are some questions in the ANES survey that connect to your areas of interest. It is time for you to be the scholar! This assignment will help you for your final paper. If you do your final paper well, this will be evidence that you can conduct independent research, conduct data analysis, and work with SPSS. Good luck.
Name the two variables, how they are coded, and describe their dispersion. Describe how these variables are good measures of the concept you care about.
(Example: Concept: Equality, Measure:

2. Think critically about what independent variables may affect your dependent variables and why. Conduct a brief literature review. What do other scholars argue affects your dependent variable?
List TWO academic journal articles that conduct quantitative analysis on the concept of your interest using standard APA citation guidelines.
How do they measure it?
Where do they collect their data?
What is their research method?

3. YOUR TURN! HYPOTHESIS
Craft two hypotheses on your DVs of interest. Then, select potential intervening variables that may affect your relationship between your IV and DV. YOU CANNOT HAVE AN INTERVAL VARIABLE AS AN INTERVENING VRIABLE
Revise and write down the two hypotheses and indicate: the independent variable, the intervening variable, and the dependent variable in each one.

4. Presenting data well is key to good research. Thus, often you need to recode variables in order to make the information digestible. Also, this helps you refine your research. SPECIFY the relationships you want to investigate. For example, if you think age affects attitudes towards illegal immigrants, can you refine your hypothesis so that it is not all AGES but rather a specific Age that you think is critical for your hypothesis? Such as those over and under 50? Simplify and specify!!!! Most independent and intervening variables should have no more than 4 categories, preferably 3 or less. You want to test a SPECIFIC relationship. So, narrow it down!
Recode your variables into new variables that are more specific.

5. DATA: ORDINAL DEPENDENT VARIABLE HYPOTHESIS: Run a cross tabs analysis for your hypothesis with ordinal dependent variable. One time with the intervening variable, one time without. Be sure to place your independent and dependent variables on the correct axis and to include appropriate percentages.

6. TEST FOR SIGNIFICANCE. Run at least three tests that measure association between the independent and dependent variable (Lambda, Chi-Square, Kendall’s tau-b, Kendall’s tau-c, and/or Somer’s D depending on your variables).
What do you find? Is the relationship significant? Interpret your results.

Extra Credit: Run the tests with an intervening variable and interpret the relationship.

7. INTERVAL DEPENDENT VARIABLE HYPOTHESIS: Run a compare means analysis for your dependent variable that is interval, including your intervening variable. For the dependent interval variable, create a LINE GRAPH to demonstrate a relationship with the independent and intervening variable represented.

8. TEST FOR SIGNIFICANCE. Run a independent sample T-Test.
What do you find? Is the relationship significant? Interpret your results.

9. ANALYSIS: What do your cross-tabs and compare means tests results suggest? Interpret your findings in connection to your hypothesis. WHY do you think this relationship is (or is not significant)? What does this tell us about the general US population? What are other potential measures of your concept? What are other potential explanatory variables?

10. Conclusion: So what?
