...Successful sites are those in which, to some extent, what is considered ‘normal’ differs from the observer’s own sense of normal. In other words, students are asked to go to a place where taken-for-granted knowledge differs from their own and report on their experiences and insights. In doing so, you make something that was previously strange slightly more familiar, and write about it. Students are then asked to write their papers in two parts, including both a description and analysis of their experience (total 1800 words maximum). Analyses should be no more than 400 words. Papers will be assigned a grade based on the success with which they, (1) demonstrate they have chosen a site appropriate for anthropological observation, (2) richly describe what they observed, and (3) draw out and support interesting interpretations rooted in their experience. Assignments count for 30% of the student’s final grade. Unexcused late submissions will be penalized five points per day of lateness. Papers must be submitted in word format electronically before 2:30PM on Tuesday, October 20th. Please note that as this is an electronic submission, you will be locked out of the system if you try to submit late. Listening Students are asked to describe their experience visiting the site. Tell the reader what you observed. You may want to spend one or two sentences offering context regarding why you chose a particular site. Still, be careful, as your number of words is limited, you will...

...University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, UK Downloaded by Myongji University At 05:37 14 May 2015 (PT) Abstract Purpose – This paper aims to adopt a consumer behaviour perspective and investigate the extent to which BMW has repositioned the new “Mini”. It builds on a previous paper that explored perceptions of the “Mini” brand. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopted a two-stage approach to data collection, consisting of 66 in-depth interviews with a cross section of important stakeholders with high brand awareness and knowledge. The paper develops a conceptual framework and offers a novel way for firms to consider the effects of their repositioning strategies on consumers perceptions of a brand. Findings – The findings reveal a substantial repositioning of the brand’s functional appeal, moving away from the car’s price as an appeal towards product build quality. Furthermore, the Mini’s symbolic appeal, which is based on its fun and sporty image, has largely remained in place. Practical implications – Firms need to recognise the importance of repositioning at both the symbolic and functional level. Originality/value – The paper presents a novel conceptual framework for viewing repositioning strategies and presents evidence of repositioning at both the functional and symbolic level. Keywords Brands, Consumer behaviour, Cars, Brand image Paper type Research paper years) and the Volkswagen Golf (which is still in production after over 30 years), have been constantly...

...Kingdom Plantae All land plants experience alternation of generations. Two distinct phases exist: A diploid sporophyte alternates with a haploid gametophyte. (In reality these phases represent two body forms of the same organism). The gametophyte produces gametes (eggs and/or sperm). A diploid sporophyte produces spores by meiosis. Sporophytes and gametophytes look distinctly different from one another (heteromorphic). Mosses and Ferns Phylum Hepatophyta (Liverworts) The plants are called liverworts because they look like a human liver. They are very small and you’ll find them growing on rocks that are next to freshwater streams. Activity: Examine Marchantia. The body of this plant is called a thallus. The thallus is the gametophyte portion of the life cycle. Identify the gemma cups. Inside the gemma cup is gemmae. The gemmae get dislodged by splashing water. If they land on a suitable substrate, they grow into new thalli. [pic] kingdomplantae.blogspot.com Phylum Bryophyta (Mosses) Mosses grow on trees, rocks and soil. They have a wide variety of human uses, the most common one being a soil additive to potting soil and as a major component of peat, which is used for fuel in some parts of the world. Notice that the sporophyte remains attached to the gametophyte. The gametophyte continues to provide nutrition for the...

...Resume Writing Your resume should fit on one page, don’t make margins too narrow (an inch all the way around is good), keep the font simple and 12 pt minimum (the last resume sample in the bulleted list you can get away with a smaller font to fit in the details). If you feel you don’t have enough information to include in your resume add other sports you play or list community service. The information on the resume must be factual, but this is the place where if your academics are not stellar and your soccer playing is, try to emphasize the great soccer player you are and make that jump off of the page. The academics will need to be on the resume too, but consider your strengths when you design your resume. Cover letters Every resume submitted to a college coach should be accompanied by a cover letter. The purpose of the cover letter is to introduce yourself to the coach in a more personalized fashion. Here is a good format for cover letters: Paragraph 1 – Introduce yourself and let the college coach know that you are interested in his/her program. It is always wise to mention that you have done research and be sure to include the name of the specific college in this paragraph. Paragraph 2 – Let the coach know that you have enclosed your resume that details your academic standing and soccer experience. Highlight your GPA and indicate what you would like to study in college if you know. Write about your H.S. soccer career and any titles or awards that...
