And the attached reading
This week’s discussion question will be, “Why should we care about the impending extinction of local languages?”
In roughly 150-200 words, citing specific examples from the readings from Baker, Dixon, and Crystal, explain the value of local languages. By “local,” I mean the nonstandard forms of language, particularly those that aren’t represented by any state authority, which are generally geographically limited in their distribution. These are sometimes called “languages,” sometimes called “dialects,” largely on the basis of social or political considerations, not linguistic ones. You will not receive full credit for participation if you do not address the material covered in the readings, citing them by the author and page numbers.
You will also be expected to offer a response to one of your classmates. This can take the form of a counterpoint (disagreeing with your classmate’s position, and offering evidence to the contrary), or a supporting argument (offering additional information to support the claim of your classmate). For this response, you need not be limited to the material covered in this week’s readings.
I look forward to your responses.

Midway Company Performance Summary (PowerPoint)
In a professional career, one may be called upon to conduct research and deliver findings in professional settings. No matter how extensive the research or
accurate the conclusions, a weak presentation can undermine an argument. A presentation is a tool to help make an argument. When creating presentations,
students develop skills in researching an issue, synthesizing the information, organizing data logically, and presenting findings in an effective manner.
You will prepare a five- to six-slide PowerPoint presentation that describes the progression of your Capsim company during Competitive Rounds 1 through 3.
Your audience consists of new topic members for your companys topic of directors, and the presentation is intended to quickly bring them up to speed.
In referring to Foundation FastTrack, describe the progression of your Capsim company during Competitive Rounds 1 through 3 relative to the following:
I. Your Product
Pay particular attention to the sections on the low-tech segment, high-tech segment, and perceptual map.
i. Where is your product positioned? (Low-tech? High-tech?)
ii. Does your product fit the consumers desires for the product segment?
iii. How did the release data of your product impact its performance?
II. Production Analysis
Pay particular attention to the sections on R&D, capacity, and funding your plant improvements.
i. What is your production schedule?
ii. How did capacity for your product(s) change over the years?
iii. How did automation change over the years? What impact did it have on your organization?
iv. Did you discontinue a product?
III. Market Segmentation
Pay particular attention to the sections on market segmentation, pricing, the low-tech segment, the high-tech segment, and the contribution margin.
i. What is the price of your product?
ii. What was your promotional budget?
iii. What was your sales budget?
iv. What was the sales forecast for each product?
v. What were the accounts receivable (A/R) and accounts payable (A/P) implications of the decisions?
IV. Financial Performance
i. How did you pay for your R&D expenses?
ii. How did you pay for marketing expenses?
iii. How did you fund your production activities?
iv. Did you buy back stock?
v. Did you retire bonds?
vi. Did you take an emergency loan?
vii. Did you pay dividends?
viii. What is your cash percentage?
Use bullet points, graphs, charts, and relevant images in the slides. Further, since you will not actually be giving this presentation in person, use
the notes section to write out what you would say if you were.
This assignment is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of your Capsim company. Use the checklist below to guide the
development of your presentation.
Articulate the progression of the Capsim company in a well-organized and clear manner.
Appropriately synthesize information, organize the data logically, and present findings in an effective and efficient manner.
Use innovative and creative methods that are reflective of your Capsim company. Remember that you are seeking to quickly update
your companys topic of directors, so knowing your audience and tailoring your message to the audience is crucial. Present and
organize the information in a way that is appropriate and relevant for the intended audience.
Create a professional presentation that adheres to the principles of an effective presentation (below) while properly citing all relevant
sources.
Principles of an Effective Presentation
You may utilize a product such as PowerPoint or Google Presentation to create your presentation.
There are various template designs that you can find on the web for your presentation. Before selecting a specific style, however,
consider your presentation from the perspective of your audience. Distracting backgrounds, large blocks of text, all uppercase fonts,
elaborate font styles, grammatical errors, and misspellings are distracting. Be consistent with the style of text, bullets, and sub-points in
order to support a powerful presentation that allows your content to be the focus.
Each slide should include your key point(s). Do not place large blocks of text on the visual. Your presentation is not a means of presenting
a short paper.
In an actual presentation, you would not read directly from your slides but rather use them as prompts.
Any notes or narration you would use in delivering this presentation to a group should be included in the notes section of the slide.
References should be listed at the bottom of the slide in slightly smaller text.
Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content.
Be mindful of the intended audience and seek to assess the presentations effectiveness by gauging audience comprehension
Hate in Contemporary America
All answers must be sourced from the following book:
Perspectives on Hate How It Originates, Develops, Manifests, and Spreads. Robert J. Sternberg
Write a three-page paper answering the following three questions:
1. What is hate?
2. How does it develop?
3. What does hate look like in contemporary America?
I attached a word document that includes the following chapters:
Chapter 4 What is Hate?
Chapter 5 Theorizing Hate in Contemporary USA.
Chapter 7 Hate in Contemporary America: Pathology or Opportunism?
Use the attached excerpt from the sourced book to answer the above questions. The book is not easily accessible. I have a copy, via Redshelf, and there is an option to share pages by way of the collaboration tool. I have no idea how to access and share a link to highlighted chapters and page numbers. Apologies in advance for not including actual page numbers in the word doc.
Ezra Pound Versus Louis Zukofsky : poetic imagism or poetic objectivism
Both poets’ definitions of poetry equate it with the formula of tangible mathematics…. but have they been able to achieve such acclaimed accuracy?
human biology 115
Create an original post that answers the question. Your answer should be coherent, in-depth and thoughtful. You should cite information from the textbook or other scientifically reputable sources to help you defend your position.
Just think, you have more bacteria living in and your body that your own cells. These are considered your natural flora or microbiome. Have you heard about the term ‘human microbiome? Are these bacteria that make up your natural flora beneficial to you, and are there ways to maintain these bacteria? What happens when these bacteria are killed off?

Meaning in Music
This topic can have a myriad a sides to it for example, do all composers have a “meaning” in mind when working on a composition. What about the extra musical meanings in which on the surface one could answer that music means comfort in time of death, or celebratory in times of joy. Does there have to be meaning to compose, can one just compose music for the sake of composing? Further, does there have to be a listener for music to have meaning?
Jump in the discussion and give us your substitutive opinion with a URL site or quote. There are no wrong answers! Let’s stay with all the composers we have worked with during the semester. Please use URL’s from your research that gives

The Case for Reparations by Ta Nehisi Coates
My stance on the article is that I am for Reperations. I have attached the instructions of the professor and this is the link to the article the paper is in reference to https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/
