Defining life can be very difficult. Scientists don’t all agree on a standard list of characteristics that define all life, but most generally agree on a common set of properties. Many of these properties are not limited to living things; some nonliving things may share a few of these characteristics as well. For instance, viruses don’t have the necessary machinery to reproduce themselves; they must use cellular hosts to make more viral copies. Because they cannot reproduce, they are not considered living.
Case Assignment
Your Assignment:
What is life? Research six specimens from the list below, describe them as living, nonliving, or dead and give support for why each belongs in their respective category.
Define the word dormant. What factors influence whether something is considered dormant?

Regarding Academic Resources, University of Phoenix Policy states: “Coursework must uphold the high standards of academic integrity established by the University of Phoenix. Consequently, the majority of research conducted by students must be peer-reviewed academic journals, such as those in the University Library, or the additional readings for each course. Internet searches often lead to nonacademic information resources, such as Wikipedia.org, Ask.com, Encarta.com, Infoplease.com, and blogs. These sources are not to be used as they are not academic in nature. The student is responsible for the accuracy of any facts presented in assignments. It is important to carefully analyze all sources used in academic works to ensure the information is accurate and appropriate for the assignment.” Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias are not acceptable literature references…Leonald (Dr. Leonald D.

Download data on a company’s stock history. From this data, create scatterplots, histograms, and calculate the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of some data points. Write a 5 page report including the graphs and descriptive statistics you have created.
Business analytics techniques are used to facilitate decision making by transforming large amounts of raw data into meaningful information. Many businesses rely on analysis of relevant historical data to make key strategic and operational decisions. Therefore, understanding how to use techniques such as graphical representation and descriptive statistics to translate raw data into useful information can be a valuable skill in an organization.
In this assessment and the next, you will have the opportunity to sharpen your analytics skills by locating and interpreting real-life stock data.
You have been learning about how to explore data. In this assessment, you will apply those skills by downloading a practical dataset and creating graphical representations of that data. The work you do in this assessment will lay the foundation for future assessments in which you analyze and interpret those graphical representations. Since the purpose of business analytics is to make sense of large quantities of raw data, this assessment helps you develop skills in applying analytics to business contexts by practicing the exploration and display of data.
In addition to graphical and tabular summary methods, numeric or quantitative variables and data can be summarized numerically using various techniques of description and display.
Descriptive methods, which describe existing data, are also methods for using a subset of the available data to estimate or test a theory about a measurement on a larger group. This larger group is called the population, and the measurement being studied is the parameter. The smaller group, or subset, of the population that is taken in order to make an inference (to make an estimate or test a theory) is referred to as the sample. The measurement taken on that sample is then referred to as the statistic, which is usually the best single-number estimate for the population parameter of interest. Most often, however, the estimate should not be restricted to a single number that would be exactly correct or incorrect. Instead, it is preferable to calculate some range of possible values between which there can be a certain percent confidence that the true population parameter falls. These are referred to as confidence intervals.
Scenario
Business analytics techniques are used to facilitate decision making by transforming large amounts of raw data into meaningful information. Many businesses rely on analysis of relevant historical data to make key strategic and operational decisions with the goal of gaining or maintaining competitive advantage. Therefore, understanding how to use techniques such as graphical representation and descriptive statistics to translate raw data into useful information can be a valuable skill in an organization.

interview an elderly family member or friend about a major historical event,organization, or issue (For 2020 courses this may be Civil Rights Movement, Women’s Movement, Vietnam War, Labor Unions/workers rights, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl). The event must be related to American History and within the scope of our class.
Craft a list of questions beforehand to help guide you.
The goal is to ask your interviewee what they know about a past event or issue, where they got that information—personal experience? News outlet? Word of mouth? Family history? What was their experience? Or are they recalling stories passed down through generations?
In a 3-4 page paper report on what your narrator discussed. Use the textbook, assigned readings, and class discussions to assess and evaluate the narrative told by the narrator. Do their memories uphold or contradict what you’ve learned or read in class? How can you account for any discrepancies, if they exist? What types of personal factors shape what people believe to be true about the past and their experiences? For example, does race, class, gender, economic status, geographic location or residence, or sexual orientation influence their narrative of the past. Where did they learn what they know about the past? For example, if you interview your grandmotherabout the 1960s and the Vietnam War, where did she get her information from—Television? https://aceyourcoursework.com/post-a-question/Newspapers? Friends who may have served in the Vietnam War?
Format: Your report should be double-spaced, 12 point font, times new roman, 1 inch margins. Chicago style citations.
The personal leadership history report will review your leadership experiences and describes your leadership style during those experiences. Discuss leadership experiences, what you learned from them, factors that influenced how you led, and how you look back on that leadership experience. This does not have to cover your entire leadership experience but should cover enough to build an accurate profile of your leadership experience. It is important to note that you do not need to be a supervisor or manager of people to lead. Leadership roles can take place in other ways, such as volunteering with a religious or civic organization. This is an essay on leadership, not management; sometimes the distinction is a fine line.
Be sure to read the requirements for that assignment before you complete the Personal Leadership History Report. Be careful not to focus on a leadership style in general, but discuss specific personal leadership experiences, both positive and negative, successes and failures. This paper should review your leadership experiences and describe your leadership style during those experiences. Be sure that your conclusion focuses on summing up your points on leadership discussed in the essay, not just a style. This report will be used to compare to what you have learned from the Leadership Exercise Report, also known as an After Action Report (AAR).
The body of the personal leadership history report shall be 4-6 pages (1,300 to 2,000 word), excluding other material such as the cover page, table of contents, abstract, graphics and tables, and references. The paper shall be presented in the 7th edition APA format, all margins should be 1”, 12-point font, and be in either Arial or New Times Roman font style. In the following descending order of preference, information sources must be either peer-reviewed articles, government reports, or other sources approved by your instructor. Internet information sources from other than authoritative sources are discouraged.

Answer at least three of the following questions in 5 pages minimum, 9 pages maximum:
1. What are the central tenets and critiques of internal colonialism, black pessimism, and black and Latino Marxism? (Gutierrez, Sexton, Dawson)
2. What is the long 16th Century and what are the central differences between Spanish and Anglo-American settler colonial projects according to Gerald Horne. (Long 16h century, Religion, Race)
3. How did the Spanish colonization of California Native lands give rise to the first forms of incarceration in California according to the book City of Inmates? (Catholicism, Mission System, enclosure of Native lands)
4. What is primitive accumulation and how did this process lead to the development of Anglo-American colonization of the Southwest and the development of American capitalism, imperialism, and eugenics as a leading ideology in the long 19th Century? (Phases of capitalist development, Mexicans, California Genocide, Chinese Exclusion, Eugenics, Poor Whites)
Drawing from the list of 15 and choose 5 to respond to on the. A complete response will include details of the term, the historical context, consideration of change over time (or cause and effect), and historical significance of the event/person/law. You will want to synthesize lecture notes, assigned readings, and homework or in-class assignments to construct your response. Any information that appears reproduced from Wikipedia, any website, or plain copies the text will not be acceptable.
An identification response must include 1) basic four types of information: who or what the term was, when it occurred, where it occurred, and why it was important; and 2) Offer explanation of historical context, how the item effects change over time, and the historical significance of the event/person/law. If you omit any of these, then you lose points. Distinguish between what something was and why it was important. Was it important for a political reason, an economic reason, did it create a certain type of social climate? Just telling what someone did is not necessarily what makes the important—the consequences of the action are what make the action/event significant. General statements such as: “this was the first step toward equality” or “it changed African American history forever” will not count as a statement of historical significance.
