I have identified at least 3 factors that can lead to a person needing additional support after

birth. E.g.

o Post-natal depression,

THE COMPANY YOU WILL USE IS 7-Eleven (Yes, the gas station)
Utilize the Unit 5 template.
Describe how the four functions of management relate to each other.
Introduce the company chosen in Unit 1. State the mission, vision, and values of the company.
Keeping in mind the organization’s mission, identify one strategic goal and trace that goal through the tactical and operational levels of planning with one specific example at each level.
Specify the appropriate person in the organization responsible for managing the goals at each level as well as what forms of power would be most useful in each level with supporting details.
Describe at least one formal bureaucratic control that would aid in evaluating progress toward the operational goal you identified. Be sure to mention how you would measure the control.

“A seat at the table” isn’t the solution for gender equity

Find an example in the media i.e. a political speech, a commercial, a documentary, etc. , and write an essay discussing how the media
effectively or ineffectively uses ethos, pathos, and logos to influence a particular audience. So the guidelines are as follows:
select a speech, a documentary, a commercial, or a campaign ad (“A seat at the table” isn’t the solution for gender equity) This is a ted talk by Lilly Singh. https://www.ted.com/talks/lilly_singh_a_seat_at_the_table_isn_t_the_solution_for_gender_equity?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare
analyze how the rhetorical tools are used in your media
were they used effectively, why and how? Or were they lacking in a particular area, why and how?
audience: neutral
purpose: to show how the rhetorical devices were/were not used well. To begin to see how manipulated we, as an audience, are mainly manipulated by emotional appeals that often do not have any concrete evidence to support them.
requirements: 2-3 pages, in text citations, at least 2 sources, MLA formatted, work cited page

Research Paper: aerodynamics

INSTRUCTIONS
The student will write a 1,000-1,500 word research paper on the unique aerodynamic
characteristics of your favorite aircraft. Your paper should not discuss the capabilities of the
aircraft unless these capabilities pertain to the aircraft’s unique aerodynamic design. The topics
addressed in the Dole text provide specific aerodynamic areas to address as they relate to your
chosen aircraft. Unique characteristics might include:
 Airfoils and aerodynamic forces: unique airfoil design to enhance the airfoil’s purpose
(speed, lift, etc.)
 Lift/Drag: the relationship that lift and drag have to each other and the design
characteristics to optimize each
 Jet Aircraft/Propeller Aircraft: similarities and differences and their use in
commercial/military/missions aviation
 Slow-speed flight: how design enhances both performance and safety
 Maneuvering Performance: maneuverability/controllability relationship and its effect on
aircraft design
 Longitudinal, directional, and lateral stability and control: the relationship between each
during typical phases of flight
 High-speed flight: those aspects unique to airframe, engine performance, and the
challenges of flight from takeoff to landing
The paper must adhere to current APA formatting and include a title page and reference page
(neither of which are included in the word count). A minimum of 3 sources must be used, only 2
of which can be from non-academic websites. Do not use Wiki sites. The other sources must be
academic, scholarly resources. Please reference the Liberty University Writing Center for
templates.
Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment: You will submit an annotated
bibliography for your sources as part of your Research Paper Assignment. Please review the
Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Grading Rubric for specific details.
Research Paper: Outline Assignment: You will submit an outline of your paper as part of your
Research Paper Assignment. Please review the Research Paper: Outline Grading Rubric for
specific details.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

Electricity Market Deregulation

In 1996 the California legislature deregulated the California electricity market with Assembly Bill (AB) 1890. This followed the deregulation of the airlines and the natural gas market at the national level, which were deemed successful. The California bill, based on earlier decisions by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), created a Power Exchange (PX), which was a wholesale electricity auction market, and an Independent System Operator (ISO) to operate the transmission system. The PX had day-ahead and hour-ahead auctions for wholesale power. The ISO had an energy imbalance market to deal with transmission constraints and to balance generation and load. The intent of this deregulation was to hold prices constant for consumers while assuring an adequate supply of electricity through the use of market forces.
Timing mismatches between the markets and the separation of energy and transmission created opportunities to game the system. A rate freeze by the legislature increased problems by insulating consumers from wholesale prices, which created inelastic demand for electricity.
Market participants quickly learned to withhold generation to increase prices in the real-time market. Power marketers such as Enron developed strategies to defraud the markets. Enron developed falsified schedules to sell energy, claimed payments for congestion relief that it did not actually provide, sold ancillary services without required generating capacity, and intentionally created congestion which increased prices to its benefit.
This resulted in rolling blackouts that began on June 14, 2000, and rapid increases in wholesale prices. Because the legislature had frozen retail prices, California’s major utilities were forced into bankruptcy. In the year 2000, independent power producers made huge profits. The state issued $10 billion in long-term bonds to purchase the energy needed to meet customer demands. This experiment, which was supposed to reduce costs and create efficient supplies of energy, was a failure – costs had increased dramatically, and electricity supply was insufficient.
Neither the CPUC nor the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) had the staff or the legal authority to monitor the markets for fraud and manipulative behavior. This problem was corrected in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which gave FERC the needed authority and more staff. However, some have suggested that FERC’s new authority reduces the profit motive in wholesale power markets, making them less liquid and efficient than they would otherwise be.
Your essay topic is electricity market deregulation.
Is deregulation a good way to balance supply and demand, making the markets more efficient?
Can that be accomplished in hourly and daily energy markets alone? Should there also be a long-term capacity market or capacity obligation? (Bear in mind that it takes at least a year to get a new power plant permitted, and more time for construction.)
Do FERC and/or the state utilities commissions need more (or less) authority to control fraud and market manipulation?
At least two but not more than three pages.
