Endangered Biomes AssignmentThis assignment is due May 30 th by 11:59 pm.1) Choose an endangered ecosystem you want to learn more about.Start with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (INUCN), Endangered Ecosystems page.Here’s a link to the page that describes how they determine which systems are threatened and how they apply their rating system. https://www.iucn.org/theme/ecosystem-management/our-work/red-list-ecosystemsPlease read the page before continuing.Make sure you understand the classification system. You should pick an ecosystem from VU all the way up to CO. The page explains what these abbreviations mean.Now go to the Endangered Ecosystems Assessments page at: https://iucnrle.org/assessments/There is a map with the ecosystems that they have already did assessments for. You can choose one of these. Click on the colored pin to get more information about the ecosystem. If you scroll to the bottom of the text box that opens, most will have a link called “English” that takes you to a more in depth document. You can also scroll below the map and find a list of the ecosystems with links to documents.2) Using the information on this site and from other credible sources if needed, please answer the following questions about the system you chose.Please keep you answers brief. One page and no more than 1.5 should be enough.a) What is the name of the system and what type of general type of biome is it?b) What region of the world is it in?c) How big is it?d) What is the climate?e) What are the dominant organisms? You can keep it general. You don’t have to report long list of species names.f) What are the major human-caused factors that have a negative impact on the ecosystem?g) Are there any actions being taken to reverse the decline? If so, briefly describe one.’NO MORE THAN 450 WORDS

Define and discuss your denominational or faith tradition.

Wk1: DevotionIn this current topics course, which focuses on change that is relevant to you as a professional, we will be studying issues that impact us. In a rapidly changing world, it’s good to know that God’s nature does not change and that He is a rock of stability when everything around us seems to be built on shifting sand. The weekly devotions, therefore, will focus on God’s stable, unchanging character. For this first week, the devotional looks, in general, at the times we live in—the societal and spiritual context for this current topics course. There are two parts to this week’s devotional:1. Define and discuss your denominational or faith tradition. Please keep this part short (maximum 100 words). For example, you might say, “I have grown up in the Church of the Nazarene and currently attend a Nazarene church. The Church of the Nazarene is a protestant denomination with a Wesleyan Holiness tradition.2. Read 2 Timothy, Chapter 3, and discuss its implications for current topics in leadership and management course. You are expected to support your initial posting with the use of scripture or a Bible commentary. You must cite your sources in your posting using proper APA format. This means that, at the bottom of your post, you should have a references section (with the heading References), followed by a listing of your references in APA format.Note that when you cite scripture, you should include the book, chapter, and verse. The first time you cite scripture in your reflection, include the version of the Bible used, spelled out, in the citation, such as (John 3:16, New Living Translation, 1996/2015). If you continue using the same version, then later citations of scripture require only the book, chapter, and verse, as in (Matt 28:20). The book name may be abbreviated, for more information, see https://guide.unwsp.edu/c.php?g=199947&p=1315631#s-lib-ctab-3983352-2.Include the Bible in your list of references. Here’s an example of how to reference the New Living Translation of the Bible: Holy Bible, New Living Translation (2015). New Living Translation. https://www.tyndale.com/nlt/ (Original work published 1996).

CH 9, exercises: problem 1, pg. 642.Write the class Marketer to accompany the other law firm classes described in this chapter. Marketers make $50,000 ($10,000 more than general employees) and have an additional method called advertise that prints “Act now, while supplies last!” Make sure to interact with the superclass as appropriate. Note that the textbook website has a Marketer.java, but it’s not quite right to fit with Employee.java in the text itself, so fix it up to do so.9. CH 9, exercises: Problem 5, pg. 643.For the next two problems, consider the task of representing tickets to campus events. Each ticket has a unique number and a price. There are three types of tickets: walk-up tickets, advance tickets, and student advance tickets. See the class diagram below:· Walk-up tickets are purchased the day of the event and cost $50.· Advance tickets purchased 10 or more days before the event cost $30, and advance tickets purchased fewer than 10 days before the event cost $40.· Student advance tickets are sold at half the price of normal advance tickets: When they are purchased 10 or more days early they cost $15, and when they are purchased fewer than 10 days early they cost $20.Implement a class called Ticket that will serve as the superclass for all three types of tickets. Define all common operations in this class, and specify all differing operations in such a way that every subclass must implement them. No actual objects of type Ticket will be created: Each actual ticket will be an object of a subclass type. Define the following operations:· The ability to construct a ticket by number.· The ability to ask for a ticket’s price.· The ability to println a ticket object as a String. An example String would be “Number: 17, Price: 50.0”. Note that Ticket has one field, ticketNumber. The price of a ticket is determined by the subclass, but all Tickets (Tickets and its subclasses) should have a getPrice() method. That means class Ticket itself needs a getPrice method, but each subclass will override it. You can code getPrice() in Ticket to return -1, or use the “abstract” keyword as shown on pg. 630 to avoid having to code it at all. Note the statement that no objects of class Ticket will be created, so the -1 return from getPrice() will never happen. We’ll get started on this in class.10. CH 9, exercises: problem 6, pg. 624.Implement a class called walkupTicket to represent a walk-up event ticket. walk-up tickets are also constructed by number, and they have a price of $50.

evaluate each of the seven common winning moves and then do a deep dive into the attractiveness, feasibility and risks of your chosen strategy.

Assignment 2: How to Win: Strategic Options Assessment and Recommendation Due Week 8, Sunday, midnight of your time zone (Weight: 25%) Introduction “Strategy means making clear-cut choices about how to compete. You cannot be everything to everybody, no matter what the size of your business or how deep its pockets.” – Jack Welch – Congratulations! In your first executive brief, you generated some great insights about the playing field and competitors and how your own organization stacks up. Now you will transition from looking back to looking ahead. You will develop your “How to Win” strategy that will feature your game-winning move! Your CEO has clarified that you need to think expansively and recommend a move that is transformative rather than incremental. To help with this, you have decided to consider each of the seven common winning moves outlined in the Week 6 Lecture Notes and pick one of them as your preferred game-winning move. You know that your game-winning move will be a decisive choice for the company. But in choosing this move (as is the case with any strategic initiative), the company will risk money and resources. If your move is the right one, you will grow sales and profits and beat your competitors. If your move is the wrong one, you risk disappointing your investors and letting your competitors gain competitive advantage. Given the importance of this decision, you will evaluate each of the seven common winning moves and then do a deep dive into the attractiveness, feasibility and risks of your chosen strategy. Your CEO is expecting your second executive brief in Week 8 to summarize your analysis of the strategy you believe offers the most potential and your recommendation for the game-winning move that you will be presenting in Week 10.

How many high tides and how many low tides are there in each day (24 hour period)?

(E5) Exercise #5: Exploring Tidal DataGoalsThe purpose of this exercise is to help you read tide charts, and understand tides & the forces that generate them.The DataFor this exercise, we will be using NOAA data on tides from their Tides and Currents website. This site gives users tidal predictions from active US tidal stations. We will use current data from this site; but I will provide you with the data, as this website has been known to have errors.We will be using data for March 23-24 for sites 1 and 2, and for the entire month of March for site 3. On these graphs, NOTE: “MLLW” = “Mean Lower Low Water Level,” is given as a height of 0.0 ft as a point of reference.The ExerciseUsing the data available at the links below, answer the following questions. Most of these questions (except where indicated) will be presented as multiple-choice questions within the Canvas Quizzes.Site 1: Admiralty Head, WashingtonExamine the tide prediction for Admiralty Head in Puget Sound on page 4 of this exercise worksheet and answer the following questions:How many high tides and how many low tides are there in each day (24 hour period)?What type of tidal cycle does Admiralty Head, Washington experience?You’re planning on going on a low tide beach walk to look at sea life on March 23; you can see the tidal pools at tide levels of 2 feet and lower. At what time should you go for your beach walk?Site 2: Pensacola, FloridaExamine the tide prediction for Pensacola, Florida on page 5 of this worksheet and answer the following questions:How many high tides and how many low tides are there in each day (24 hour period)?What type of tidal cycle does Pensacola experience?In what ways do the tidal ranges of Pensacola and Admiralty Head locations differ? What factors might account for these differences? Use your textbook and module terminology to answer this question. Your answer should be 3-5 sentences in length and should be specific in contrasting the tides in the two locations. (NOTE: This question will require a short answer in the Canvas Quizzes tool)
