As Noels attorney, give two arguments to support his position that he is not liable for a breach of contract.
On July 15, Noel Evans, age 17, entered into a contract with John Carnby, the regional manager of the Stop-N-Shop supermarket chain. The contract calls for Stop-N-Shop to purchase 100 ripe pumpkins growing in the Evans family pumpkin patch at a price of $20 per unit. Under the terms of the contract, Stop-N-Shop was to send its truck to the Evans farm to receive the pumpkins on July 23.Unfortunately, on July 23, Stop-N-Shops truck never arrived at the Evans pumpkin patch. Between July 23 and July 31, Noel repeatedly called both the Stop-N-Shop corporate headquarters as well as John Carnbys personal cell phone number, but inexplicably could not reach anyone. On August 1, Noel reached his 18th birthday. On August 4, Noel decided to sell the 100 pumpkins to Gristedes, another local supermarket chain and one of Stop-N-Shops biggest competitors at a price of $15 per unit.On August 5, the day after the sale, Stop-N-Shop finally sends a truck to the Evans pumpkin patch and Noel informed the driver that the pumpkins were no longer available.

Post your explanation of how the difference between statistical significance and the true importance (clinical significance) of the relationship between variables or the degree of difference between groups affect your practice decision making.
Research studies often compare variables, conditions, times, and/or groups of participants to evaluate relationships between variables or differences between groups or times. For example, if researchers are interested in knowing whether an intervention produces change in the desired direction, they will want to know whether the change is due to chance (statistical significance) or possibly due to the intervention. In this case, researchers could use a pre and post measurement of the same participants on the condition being treated, or they could compare a group of individuals who receive the intervention to a group that does not receive the intervention. Researchers could also compare two groups of individuals who receive different interventions. The rigor of the research design helps control for other factors that might account for the changes (e.g., time, conditions, group differences in other factors, etc.). To prepare for this Discussion, consider the concept of statistical significance.By Day 5Post your explanation of how the difference between statistical significance and the true importance (clinical significance) of the relationship between variables or the degree of difference between groups affect your practice decision making. Be sure to include an explanation of what statistical significance means. Include an example from a quantitative study that found statistically significant differences. Discuss whether the results of the study wouldor shouldinfluence your practice as a social worker. Please use the resources to support your answer.

2) Discuss the investigative process used to identify the outbreak, and describe its effect using descriptive epidemiology (person, place, and time).
Investigating Pandemics and EpidemicsSome of the most notable epidemics include the bubonic plague in the 14th century, smallpox in the 18th century, and influenza in the 20th century. Reportedly, the bubonic plague caused over 137 million deaths, whereas the death toll associated with influenza was 25 million (Ernst, 2001). These are dramatic examples of the kinds of acute outbreaks that led to the practice of epidemiology.Many epidemiologists and health care professionals are concerned about the next potential pandemic or epidemic. With the increased mobility of society, the spread of infectious diseases continues to pose a serious threat. For this Discussion, you will investigate pandemics and epidemics using epidemiological tools, and you will consider strategies for mitigating disease outbreaks.To prepare:Using the Learning Resources, consider examples of emerging or reemerging infectious diseases that are occurring locally, nationally, or abroad. Then, select one example on which to focus.Explore the epidemiological investigative process used to identify the emerging or reemerging infectious disease or outbreak.Examine your selected infectious disease using the epidemiologic triangle and vector theory.Consider how health care interventions may reduce the emergence or reemergence of infectious diseases. Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:1) Identify the emerging or reemerging infectious disease you selected.2) Discuss the investigative process used to identify the outbreak, and describe its effect using descriptive epidemiology (person, place, and time).3) Apply the epidemiologic triangle and vector theory to your selected outbreak.4) Evaluate how prior health care interventions, or lack thereof, created the conditions that allowed this infectious disease to emerge.5) Discuss how the disease outbreak might have been avoided or mitigated. Include agencies, organizations, and resources that could have supported these efforts. If appropriate, consider ongoing efforts to control the outbreak.Required ReadingsFriis, R. H., & Sellers, T.

What are some of the barriers Alibaba is facing as it expands globally?
Please provide a one to two-page paper on the topic. This work should include an opening paragraph clearly restating the questions (DO Not simply copy the questions). Then apply at least one complete paragraph on each of the topics, followed by a closing or summary paragraph. Cites and structure should comply with APA v6 style. Alibaba and Global E-Commerce: Should Amazon Be Afraid?From rural farmers to multimillionaires, millions of people in China are reaping economic opportunities from the growing e-commerce market. One entrepreneur earns $5 million in sales annually from his ladies handbag e-commerce businessa far cry from his humble origins. Although his success might be the exception to the norm, many Chinese consumers with similar backgrounds have found jobs working in e-commerce.We grew up in a rural area which left us few choices. I never thought about my future or had any belief in it, the entrepreneur says.At the center of this is Alibaba, an online marketplace founded by entrepreneur Jack Ma in 1999. Jack Ma conceived of an online portal that could connect Chinese manufacturers with buyers from other countries. He chose the name of Alibaba because it was globally recognized based on the famous character in the collection Arabian Nights. Today this multibillion dollar firm has 500 million registered users. Its sales surpass those of eBay and Amazon combined. Alibaba runs a number of businesses that handle approximately 80 percent of all online shopping in China. Unlike Amazon, it does not own is own merchandise but acts as a portal to bring buyers and sellers together.This is just the beginning for Alibaba. In 2014 it was listed on the U.S. stock exchange with an initial offering of $25 billion, the largest IPO to date. To emphasize its global intentions, Alibaba opened offices in France, Germany, and Italy. It is also focused on selling more international brands such as Macys, Apple, and LOreal. In its quest to expand into media, Alibaba entered into licensing agreement with Disney to sell a streaming device that will broadcast movies, television shows, e-books, games, and more.Although it is listed on the U.S. stock exchange, investing in Alibaba differs from the traditional model due to regulatory and legal barriers. The Chinese government restricts foreign investment in certain areas, meaning that global investors outside of China cannot own shares of Alibaba outright. In reality, investors purchased shares of a shell corporation in the Cayman Islands. Alibaba itself owns all of its non-Chinese assets. Jack Ma has the most power in the company, and some investors are concerned about his tendency to make large decisions or transfer ownership without consulting many other people.Another issue that Alibaba is coming across as it expands involves counterfeit products. In China counterfeit goods have traditionally been more accepted than in other countries. Its international e-commerce site AliExpress has gained widespread popularity in Russia, the United States, and Brazil, but its rise in popularity has been accompanied by a rise in counterfeit goods sold through the site. Regulators are worried that the site is allowing counterfeits to go straight from Chinese manufacturers to consumers on a global scale. In fact, Kering SAa French luxury groupfiled a lawsuit against Alibaba accusing the firm of knowingly allowing the sale of counterfeit products. Alibaba denies the charges and is working with government bodies to improve counterfeiting controls.Despite the risks of investing in a firm that they cannot actually own, investors were eager to purchase shares during Alibabas initial public offering. China is overtaking the United States as the largest e-commerce market, and the opportunities are too good for many investors to pass up. They believe Alibaba has the potential for massive global growth as it is less capital intensive and therefore more flexible than global rivals such as Amazon.com.QuestionsWhat are some of the barriers Alibaba is facing as it expands globally?Why would the sale of counterfeit products through its sites be damaging to Alibaba?
Write a 600 word (or so) essay that reviews the major points made in this documentary that can serve as a type of viewing guide for the presidents and chancellors of the league.
Part II: (25 points and approximately 600 words)The Business of Amateurs documentary argues that the NCAA and its member institutions often place their profits and the desire to win ahead of the best interests of their student-athletes. There are several documentaries that outline various claims against the NCAA and the college sports enterprise, but Business of Amateurs is one of the few (if not the only) one that documents the challenges facing the college sports industry from the perspective of student- athletes.Although some of the facts and policies governing college sports have already changed some since the release of this film (e.g., guaranteed multi-year scholarship at autonomy schools and scholarships that include the full cost of attendance), this film does an excellent job of outlining the major legal, ethical, and business challenges that threaten the future of the collegiate sports model in the US.For this question, lets assume that the commissioner of the SEC (i.e., Mr. Sankey), was reallyimpressed with your excellent essay on health and safety issues in college sports. He reached out to you again in order to help frame a discussion around this film for the university presidents in the SEC. The SEC is organized so that the presidents (and chancellors) of each institution who make up the SEC oversee the governance process of the league. Mr. Sankey actually serves in his role at the pleasure of the 14 presidents.Write a 600 word (or so) essay that reviews the major points made in this documentary that can serve as a type of viewing guide for the presidents and chancellors of the league.This viewing guide will provide the presidents with the major takeaways from the film and focus their attention on some of the most significant pressure points challenging the college sports system that sports fans love.The film identifies several major challenges (e.g., amateurism, the market value of athletes, the role of the NCPA, the role of agents, academic cheating, athlete safety, name, image, and likeness issues, etc.); you should try to focus your synopsis on just 3 major issues outlined in the film.As you compose your essay, assume that these presidents and chancellors will watch the film after reviewing your essay, and thus your guide will help them focus on the major points that the filmmaker is trying to portray.Since our presidents and chancellors are all academic scholars and are likely to be a littlesuspect of a filmmakers perspective on the major issues facing college sports, you will need to include at least two references to our readings that lend support to the arguments made in the documentary. One of your citations should be to the Eitzen chapter in this unit and one to the Holstein chapter from this unit.APA Style
