PRAY: God, help me connect with you as I seek to know you and understand your Word.
READ: Luke 16:10. Our responsibility as a steward or manager includes being faithful in all areas – in matters both large and small.
Before we can be faithful, we must know what God wants us to do. The Bible gives instructions for living; some are direct commands, some are stories that provide examples, and some – like the Proverbs – are wise counsel for understanding principles of godly behavior.
REFLECT: Consider what it means to be faithful in matters both large and small by following these simply states principles. They have their foundation in God’s Word, as you will see in days to come.
Seek counsel
Practice honesty
Work hard
Give generously
Save consistently
Spend wisely
Avoid debt
Live for eternity
Can you see how faithfulness to these principles has a direct bearing on the quality of your life?
RESPOND: The more you realize God’s loving power to care for you in every circumstance, the more eager you will be to honor him with your faithfulness in every area of your life.
Lord, give me a hunger for your perspective on the practical areas of my life. I want to be faithful in everything, including the small things.
Initial response to reflection in a minimum of 100 words.

Create a Normalized Database from an Entity-Relationship Diagram
Instructions
This week, you learned how to write data definition language in SQL Server by writing SQL CREATE statements. In this assignment, you will reference the entity-relationship diagram (ERD) from Week 3 to build your database using the QUERY function in SQL Server Management Studio Express. For this assignment, complete the following:
1. Write a single SQL scriipt, called CREATE.sql that includes the CREATE statements needed to build the schema in the third normal form. Make sure the statements are in the correct order, starting with the creation of the database itself, then the tables in the correct order of dependency based on the relationships between tables.
2. Sample data is needed to test the design of the database. Write a SQL scriipt called INSERT.sql to add at least 15 customers, each with 3 orders with no less than 3 items on each order. There should be 20 products and a minimum of 5 product categories. Be sure that orders span over 3 months provide a representative test data set for the first quarter of the year.
3. Describe the process of creating the scriipts for each of the required elements in the assignment and embed annotated screenshots of the process.
4. Test the design and prove that the schema is in 3NF by showing that all constraints have been tested. Verify that no INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE anomalies are present. Provide annotated screenshots of the results of each part of the process.
Length: 5 to 7-page explanatory paper, plus 1 ready-to-execute SQL (.sql) file
References: Include a minimum of 2 scholarly resources.

music culture writing exercise
For this assignment, I’m asking you to be a music investigator and look for clues as to what is going on in a certain performance. Think about what you read in the Slobin/Titon article “The Music Culture” — you may want to include quotes to support your ideas.
Write a 500 word paper (approximately two double-spaced, typed pages) on one of the three music cultures listed below. Choose one, watch the indicated You Tube video (in the “Paper #1 videos” folder under Course Documents), and:
– Describe the social setting of the music and type of event / space. – Describe the ensemble lineup and instrumentation.
– Describe the basic social organization of the performance, including (if possible) the interaction between the performers and audience; how is the audience reacting to the music? If you can’t see the audience, why not?
– Briefly describe a timeline of the linear form of the performance (for example, it might be: opening theme, vocal verse 1, vocal chorus, verse 2, chorus, guitar solo, trumpet solo, chorus, group instrumental, etc.). Using music terms like verse, chorus, etc. is optional. Just do your best to tell the story of the musical events that take place during the performance.
– Based on this video performance, speculate on the music’s social functions. What are the underlying social purposes of this performance, in your opinion? (For help with this, you could investigate the music culture on the web, although this is not intended to be a research paper.)
– Feel free to ask your own questions, and make your own observations, in addition.
– Conclude with a paragraph about the “global” or “transnational” nature of this music culture. What are the roots of this music and how did it come to the US? Has it moved out from the US to other corners of the globe? Consult the respective readings from the syllabus for background and/or investigate on the web.
Please use standard MLA paper format (see
for details) — pay attention to writing style, grammar, and spelling. Please be sure to proofread your paper carefully and run spell check. Do not plagiarize: if you do research on the web, be sure to put it into your own words. If you want to include a direct quotation from the reading or a website, use quotation marks and cite your source.
Music Examples (pick ONE):
1) Manny Oquendo y Conjunto Libre (Nuyorican Salsa) – “Elena Elena” (from 0:15 – 3:30)
2) The Klezmatics (Jewish klezmer / Yiddish song) — “Shprayz ikh mir”
3) Black Stalin (West Indian Soca) – “Black Man Feeling to Party” (from 0:00 – 3:00)

Rosewood Case Group Report
What type of brand portfolio is Rosewood using at the time of the case? What are the pros and cons of a corporate branding strategy? What type of brand portfolio would best serve the company moving forward? Why? Will a move to corporate branding maximize customer lifetime value as intended? If you input the data from the case (16.67% and 21.67% retention rates; 8% discount rate) into the standard CLV formula we use in class (and from Gupta and Lehman), why are the numbers so different from the spreadsheet? What adjustments could be made to the formula to make it more useful/appropriate for this situation?
