how is their recent use of celebrity endorsers risky for their brand identity?

Review the “Marketing Excellence: Louis Vuitton” case study on p. 296 of your textbook. According to Interbrand, Louis Vuitton is ranked the 19th most powerful global brand. With this very important distinction, how is their recent use of celebrity endorsers risky for their brand identity? As demonstrated in this case, the use of celebrity endorsers can be risky for brand identity. Describe another brand that experienced some level of fallout with the use of a celebrity or sports figure as their endorser. What was the ultimate result? Make certain to use a brand that another student has not already brought forward.

history and origin of fire modeling

Fire modeling provides mathematical and scientific research into the behavior and problems associated with fire.  Fire modeling is a useful tool for any area of fire safety, especially fire protection engineering, fire investigation, and fire suppression.

Once you complete the Week 7 readings, write a post to achieve the following:

1. Briefly discuss the history and origin of fire modeling and why it has become an important tool in the fire service, especially in the fields of fire engineering and fire investigation.
2. Briefly discuss the difference between a zone model and a field model.
3. Read the article “The Use of Simulation in Fire Investigation” and briefly discuss how the Zone Model – Consolidated Model of Fire Growth and Smoke Transport (CFAST) and the Field Model – Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), differed in their experiment.  
4. Read the “NIST Technical Note 1856” found in this week’s readings and then discuss the following:
a. Summarize the incident
b. Discuss the model used for the simulation
c. Discuss the results of the simulation

Include the following:

  • Describe the sexually deviant behavior.

The Case of Chad

Chad is a 45-year-old man currently in prison for raping 3 women. Chad had met these women on separate occasions at a bar. In each case, he put Rohypnol in their drinks when they were not looking. He would wait for the drugs to take effect and then take each of his victims to the bathroom and rape them. He reported the rapes were about feeling powerful, and he liked feeling as if he had control over these women.

Why does the Big Bang Theory imply that there should be background radiation coming toward us from all directions?

Textbook: Cosmic Perspective 8th Edition: Bennett et al

CH 5

Answer the following four questions. You must use relevant information to justify your answer to receive full credit. You may use any reference source you like, including working in groups. Make sure that the work you turn in is in your own words.

1) Describe how the molecules in a gas produce an emission spectrum. How is this useful in astronomy if we assume that the laws of physics are the same everywhere?

2) Why was the uniform expansion model adopted? How does this lead to a necessary differentiation between classical and cosmological redshift?

3) Why does the Big Bang Theory imply that there should be background radiation coming toward us from all directions?

4) Explain the significance of finding quasars in all directions but none of them are nearby. Use the assumption that these objects are forming galaxies.

Based on the expected return, would you rather invest your money in the stock market or in gold? Why?

Suppose  that the percentage annual return you obtain when you invest a dollar  in gold or the stock market is dependent on the general state of the  national economy as indicated below. For example, the probability that  the economy will be in “boom” state is 0.15. In this case, if you invest  in the stock market your return is assumed to be 25%; on the other hand  if you invest in gold when the economy is in a “boom” state your return  will be minus 30%. Likewise for the other possible states of the  economy. Note that the sum of the probabilities has to be 1–and is. 

  State of economy Probability Market Return Gold Return   

Boom 0.15 25% (-30%)   

Moderate Growth 0.35 20% (-9%)   

Week Growth 0.25 5% 35%   

No Growth 0.25 (-14%) 50%    

Based on the expected return, would you rather invest your money in the stock market or in gold? Why?

Healthcare managers have different perceptions of team members

Healthcare managers have different perceptions of team members, which tend to influence how they are treated. Sometimes, a healthcare manager could have the wrong perception of an employee. Theory X and Theory Y present two different views of how managers perceive workers in an organization. Your healthcare manager asks for your views on Theory X and Theory Y. Respond to the following:

  • Prepare a leaflet to explain Theory X and Theory Y to your healthcare manager.
  • Explain how the healthcare manager’s perception affects the attitude and behavior of healthcare workers.
  • Describe the 4 stages of perception.
  • Include a recommendation on how the participation of healthcare workers in decision making would lead to greater achievement for the healthcare manager, team members, and the organization.

Deliverable Requirements

  • Include at least 3 references
  • Use the APA format
  • Minimum of 3 pages

150 words each question with 1-2 refs each

!)       

Discuss  the differences between the traditional concepts of risk management  versus the idea of preventative law.  Also, explain how knowledge of  preventative law can be used as a tool to give a sports organization a  competitive advantage.

2) Identify the primary principles of contract law.  What needs to be in  place for a valid contract?  Describe thoroughly and weave in elements  of a real-world example to help explain.

Discuss the different types of micronutrients and their function in the body

N1. Discuss the different types of micronutrients and their function in the body. Choose two micronutrients and discuss the signs and symptoms of toxicity and deficiency for each nutrient. What disease process would cause toxicity and deficiencies for both nutrients? Use evidence from one scholarly source other than your textbook or ATI book to support your answer. Use APA Style to cite your source.

Develop and evaluate a lesson plan

Bread Baking Project

Objective and scenario

To develop and evaluate a lesson plan about “Healthy Me.”

You have chosen the theme, “Healthy Me,” for this week’s health and safety lesson. The first activity you plan to conduct with the 4-year-olds in your preschool classroom is a cooking project that involves making banana bread. You will use the activity to teach about the importance of eating nutritious foods, including fruits and vegetables, for a “healthy me.” Additionally, you plan to use this activity to reinforce other healthy habits, such as when it is important to wash hands and how to wash them correctly.

Focus assignment

1. Develop a lesson plan for the cooking activity. Include a behavioral objective, a list of materials that will be needed, safety considerations, and a step-by-step outline for how you will conduct the cooking project. In addition, describe how you intend to introduce the hand washing component, identify times during the cooking activity when children and the teacher need to wash their hands, and describe the correct hand washing procedure to be followed.
2. Be sure to read the REFLECTION section below to guide your thinking. Write your reflection response after you have completed your lesson plan.

Self-evaluation

1. For each item in your lesson plan:
 a. Explain how this item addresses the issues in the scenario.

2. Describe and justify how your lesson plan would improve teaching and learning in the scenario
