Instructions: Let’s explore different browsers this week by discussing the items below:

1) Which browser do you use and why?

2) Do you use more than one browser and why?

3) Which browser do most web users use and why do you think that it is that way? Make sure you search online for statistics to confirm which browser is most widely used.

4) What features would you like to see in future versions of your favorite browser?

Now, when you are discussing this, don’t just type #1 – #4 and answer each one, but write a full paragraph and discuss these issues.

Primary Discussion Response is due by Friday (11:59:59pm Central), Peer Responses are due by Tuesday (11:59:59pm Central).

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:

Part 1

Having experienced a robust debate discussion on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and trends (SWOTT) analysis and strategic planning for a particular fast-food franchise, it is time to shift gears a bit and consider the competition in the fast-food industry. Read this article to frame this week’s discussion. Complete the following:

• Identify 1 or 2 other major competitors in the fast-food industry, and describe their sources of competitive advantage.
• Discuss a current issue that this industry faces. It could be favorable or unfavorable to the industry.
• Which of the major competitors has the strongest competitive advantage and ability to overcome the barriers presented by the current issues identified and why?

Part 2: Based on the first initial of your last name:

• First initial M-Z: provide an argument ‘FOR’ the success of the fast-food franchise’s competitors. Submit your position by posting in the Unit 2 Debate forum, under the ‘FOR’ topic.
• First initial A-L: provide an argument ‘AGAINST’ the ability of the competition to overtake fast-food franchise. Submit your position by posting in the Unit 2 Debate forum, under the ‘AGAINST’ topic.

In both considerations, provide research that supports your assertions.

Responses to Other Students: Review the opposing thread comments. Respond to at least two of your classmates in the opposing thread with at least a 100-word reply about their Primary Task Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.

start an interview with your mother, grandmother or another appropriate family member or older woman you know. The interview is carefully structured (questions are listed below). You will combine your interview with TEXTREADINGS and your own ideas. You must create a transcript of the interview . . . a word-for-word typed

Interview questions:

1. What is this woman’s view of the women’s movement? Has she ever spoken out for

the rights of women? What are the most important issues for the women’s movement in

your mother’s opinion? How did she come to believe these were the most important

issues? Were there life events that persuaded her to feel they were the most important?

Did she ever participate in any activities in women’s organizations for women’s rights?

2. Does she feel there are gender biases in schools?

3. How does she feel about the role of media in the development of her self-image as a

woman?

4. How does she feel about her sexual freedom including her view of her rights to

reproductive freedom?

5. What does she feel are the attitudes about women in the workforce today? Is it afair playing field? What were they like when she was younger?

6. How have areas of law affected her identity? i.e. Divorce, Sexual Discrimination,

Domestic Violence, Social Security, Abortion, Job Discrimination, and Welfare.

7. Has she ever been the victim of racism, class prejudice, ageism or poverty?

8. How does she feel we can best help women of abuse or who have been battered?

9. What is her definition of her own “identity” as an individual, as a member of afamily, and as a member of society?How?

Notes

1-proper citation format for any quotes from our texts AND for any quotes from your interview. The interview is just another “source” and needs proper citation as well. Cite your interviewee’s words and use (Grandmother, 2011, Question #4) as the citation. Then your paper should end with a summary statement — expressing what you have learned about yourself and response to the interview itself.

2-Be sure you included your interview notes as an addendum to your final essay.

4- APA FORMAT

5- use quotations from book( Attached to this question and write the page number on your citation)

In the event that you do not identify the correct answer, if you show your work and how you arrived at your result, you may receive partial credit.However, if you do not show your work and the answer is not correct, zero credit will be given for that problem.If additional attachments are necessary to show your work, be sure to scan them in and attach before you click submit.

1.Suppose the sound pressure level of each of three individual noise sources is measured at a point such that with each source running individually, the sound pressure is as follows (4 pts):

Source 1 – 88 dB

Source 2 – 86 dB

Source 3 – 87 dB

What is the sound pressure level with all three running?(Show your work).

2.A compressor in a mechanical room was measured at 8 feet from the source to have a sound pressure level of 93 dB.What would the sound pressure level be at 16 feet from the source?(2 pts)

3.A compressor in a mechanical room was measured at 8 feet from the source to have a sound pressure level of 93 dB.What would the sound pressure level be at 4 feet from the source?(2 pts)

4.A compressor in a mechanical room was measured at 8 feet from the source to have a sound pressure level of 93 dB.

a.If a second identical compressor was placed immediately next to the first, what would the resulting sound pressure level measurement at 8 feet be?(2 pts)

b.If a third identical compressor was placed immediately next to the first two, what would the resulting sound pressure level measurement at 8 feet be?(2 pts)

5.A mechanic must work in an area where three air-handling units are present.Each air handling unit individually generates a sound level of 95 dB at 5 feet from the source.

a.If the worker is positioned 20 feet from the first source, 10 feet from the second source, and 5 feet from the third source, and all three units are running continuously, to what sound level is the worker exposed?Show all your work, including the sound level to which the worker would be exposed if each ran independently (this will help you calculate this and subsequent exposures).(8 pts)

b.If the unit 20 feet from the worker is turned off and the other two are running, to what level is the worker exposed?(2 pts)

c.If the unit 5 feet from the worker is turned off and the other two are running, to what level is the worker exposed?(2 pts)

d.Assuming all units are running and the worker’s job requires him or her to stay in that location (20 feet from the first source, 10 feet from the second source, and 5 feet from the third source) for 4 hours and work in another location with exposure below 65 dBA for the remaining 4 hours, what is the 8 hour TWA of the exposure of the worker?(8 pts)
